An eerie silence covered the gathering. The Elders were shocked. Steven had a contemplative glance, and Liam had complex emotions. The Elders were shocked to the bone because Amelia was a female Alpha! Female Alphas are strong and have lesser chances of becoming pregnant. And Amelia was one of the strongest of the female Alphas, her chances of becoming pregnant were almost nonexistent! Then, how? How could she get pregnant? Did she find somebody stronger than her? But so far, only Steven could be considered at par with her, the rest were just trash in front of her strength! Where did she find such a formidable partner? Most importantly, who was he? Steven wasn’t as clueless as the Elders. He knew the real reason behind Amelia’s stay in the human city. She had told him of finding her mate. But wasn’t her mate a human? How could a mere human be strong enough to impregnate a ferocious female Alpha? Since when did humans become stronger than the Alphas? Liam was feeling partly relieve
In the evening, Steven came to her room with a plate full of dishes. Amelia hadn’t moved much since the moment she received the news of her pregnancy. Both brother and sister, ate mouthfuls of food silently. Steven didn’t show much happiness, but the way he looked at Amelia had changed. "Have you wondered why a human could impregnate you?" Steven asked cautiously. "Nothing happens without the Moon Goddess's wish. So, I take the cub as compensation for getting such a weak and unfaithful mate." Amelia voiced out her real thoughts unhesitatingly. She was more concerned about the cub than why or how she conceived it. "Good." Steve nodded appreciatively. It was good that his darling sister's mind wasn't fogged because of the cub. It was a relief that she wasn't clamoring to leave the pack and find that human mate. It was even better that she hadn't forgiven the mate for the sake of a family. She was still his powerful and pragmatic sister. Maybe she was right. The cub was a co
“I, Steven Lockhart, as the sole successor to the position of the Leader of the Silver Crescent Pack, challenge anyone for a duel who wants to contend for the position of the Leader.” As soon as Steven spoke, the murmur died down. A sudden quietness descended the ground. This was new to the pack. Every pack had only one Alpha who was decided by birth. But in their pack, they had two.But since Amelia had given up her rights, it left them with Steven. All of them had seen how ruthless and ferocious this pair of siblings were. Since they were young, they had fought packs and rogues to protect their territory. No matter how lucrative the position of a Leader is, only a fool would challenge them. So, unsurprisingly, Steven was chosen and accepted as a Leader.“With no one as a challenger, I, Steven Lockhart, take upon me the role of the Leader of the Silver Crescent Pack. I will remain loyal to the pack. This pack will always be my family. Let us strive and survive together to make our
The clansmen went back to their work. The patrolling officers took it upon themselves to dispose of the traitor’s body hanging by a breath. The Elders, Alphas, Beta, and Gamma went back to the confines of their meeting room.Unlike earlier, when under the direction of Elder Arthur, they clamored to evict Amelia this time, a pin drop silence reigned supreme.“Elders, in your eyes, am I worthy of the position of the Leader of the pack?” Steven spoke unhurriedly. His lowered eyes hid the calculations going on inside his mind.“Yes, yes.” Many Elders affirmatively supported him. Whether their nods were out of fear or respect, Steven didn’t mind. “So, a person who is my benefactor should be treated well, right?” Steven slowly unfurled his traps.“Yes, yes, indeed.” Elders nodded without any doubts. All of them agreed that a person who was their Leader’s benefactor should be treated with kindness!“So, what do you think should I do if someone harms the offspring of my benefactor?” Steven l
“Kieth, the fact that you are still awake and alive is nothing short of a miracle! How are you doing it?” Dr. Morgan, Kieth’s personal doctor and a dear friend, had a helpless expression. “Give me some sleeping pills,” Kieth spoke in a deadpan voice. “No Kieth. Frankly, you need a psychologist. Stop torturing yourself like this! It’s been a month, for God’s sake!” Dr. Morgan tried his utmost to convince the stubborn man. “All I need is some sleeping pills.” Kieth remained unmoved. “You bury yourself with work, tire yourself out both physically and mentally, and yet you need sleeping pills to fall asleep, don’t you find it strange? Have you seen yourself in the mirror lately?” Dr. Morgan continued his monologue without any response. “You look like a ghost! Your skin is pale, and your eyes are bloody red! Have some mercy and go on a vacation!” Dr. Morgan looked like he could go on his knees to convince the man anytime! “Are you giving me the pills or not?” Kieth asked in a non ne
In the silver moonlight, the Silver Crescent Moon Pack warriors stealthily marched toward the oblivious Midnight Pack.As decided, Steven faced the enemy pack head on, taking them by surprise. Howls, screams, and chaos broke within seconds. The Midnight Pack warriors defended and children ran to safehouses.Unlike the Silver Crescent Pack, where every member wanted to be a part of the attack, here, in the Midnight Pack, the majority of the people focused on running away, leaving a pitifully small number of warriors to defend their territory. The east, west, north, and south teams attacked ferociously, without giving any warrior a chance to retaliate. Blood painted the ground striking red. Howls pierced the skies.The Midnight Pack warriors were outnumbered. No matter how valiant they were, they couldn’t keep up with the heavy numbers of the attackers. On top of that, this attack had a batch of young wolves. They might not be exper
Steven turned around and as expected Amelia was there. In fact, she had already broken Steven’s estimated record of staying away from the attack. He was expecting her during the fiercest moments with an excuse of lending a helping hand.But she only appeared now and she wasn’t alone. She was dragging a naked unconscious man like a rag doll. The man’s skin was littered with claw marks and blood. But Amelia looked as clean and pure as a newborn flower.Midnight Pack members soon identified the man. He was the missing son. As soon as she reached Steven, she looked at the man near Steven’s feet.“Tsk. Like father, like son. Both of them are weak chickens. Brother you know, he couldn’t even take a few punches! He fainted right away! I didn’t even feel any joy.” Amelia complained as she wiped her hands clean.An eery silence covered the area. The new pack members were too afraid to speak while the old pack members had nothing to speak at all.
It was red, warm, and still beating. After a few seconds, it slowly lost its rhythm and warmth. The new pack members had mixed feelings. They feared this ruthless attacker, but they also felt relieved. They were scared of her, but they admired her. The old pack members were numb. They had seen a lot of such incidences.Silver Crescent Pack followed ethics and morals. Any heinous crime was dealt with equally gruesome punishment. And every good thing would be rewarded. They had long become civilized and barely witnessed any wrongdoings.In their pack, nobody dared to break the rules. It was only the outer packs that were messy. Inside was just peace and harmony.Slowly and steadily, everybody marched towards their home. They maintained a slower pace, making sure that the new pack members could follow up. Two warriors dragged the still unconscious former Alpha, while the son’s body was left behind to rot.As they neared the pack, th
