A STING.

Penelope stood her ground, tears streaming down her face as her father towered over her, anger etched on his face. "I won't do it," she said firmly, despite her fear.

Uther's eyes flashed with fury. "You will do as I say, Penelope. You are a woman, you have no say in this matter," he growls, his voice low and menacing.

"You will abort this child, or you will be disowned. Do you understand me? You will no longer be my daughter, you will no longer have my name or my support." Uther's words were like a physical blow, and Penelope flinched at the impact.

"You have twelve hours to change your mind, or the consequences will be dire. And as for you, Yvonne," he turned to Penelope's mother, "You had better talk some sense into your daughter, or you will face the consequences too."

With that, Uther stormed out of the infirmary, leaving Penelope and Yvonne in stunned silence. Penelope was shaking, her thoughts a jumbled mess. How could her father be so cruel, so heartless?

    The wind howled eerily as it whipped through the dark and desolate streets, sending shivers down the spines of those unfortunate enough to be caught in its icy embrace. The snow fell softly, painting the world in a blanket of white, but it did nothing to warm the hearts of the brave few who braved the elements. Their breaths came out in plumes of mist, rising like ghosts into the frozen air, as they huddled deeper into their heavy coats, searching for any shred of comfort. The buildings loomed around them, ominous and unyielding as if daring them to survive this torment. But the cold, relentless, and unyielding, pressed in on all sides, threatening to crush them and snuff out their lives. They bowed in acknowledgment as Adnan's frame came into view but he didn't seem to notice their existence. As Alpha Adnan approached the prison, the guards quickly sprang into action. They knew the importance of their Alpha's visit and wanted to make sure everything was perfect. With a loud, cri

    "Where is he?""Give him a few minutes my lady. He will be here in a moment." The cat-voiced maid said, peeking out the door."Are you OK?" Her mother asked, cradling her red cheeks.

    "Stop, stop! You're going to melt the damn thing!" Take it out now, that's enough." The prison warden yelled as one of the men quickly fazed the glowing rod with a water-filled mess tray but the redness returned almost immediately.Alpha Adnan watched from the tunnel as his guard heated the rod with intense heat until it glowed red and orange, lighting up the dark and damp dungeon.The atmosphere in the dungeon was thick with tension. The flickering torches cast eerie shadows on the walls, creating a sense of foreboding in the already claustrophobic space. The air was thick with the stench of sweat and blood, and the sound of Liam's labored breathing echoed off the stone walls.The guard's cold, calculating gaze was fixed on Liam's battered and bruised body, and a sadistic smile played on his lips as he drew closer. The glowing tip of the rod illuminated his twisted expression, casting ghastly shadows that danced across the walls. The guard approached him with a devilish glint in h

    Yvonne's hands trembled as she clutched the letter that Alpha Uther had just handed her. She stared at the words on the page, barely registering their meaning until the realization hit her like a physical blow. Alpha Logan had set a date for his wedding to Penelope, and it was only a few weeks away.She stumbled backward, dropping the letter onto the ground. Alpha Uther watched her silently as a predator would its prey, his expression unreadable. After a moment of stunned silence, Yvonne found her voice. "I have been thinking lately and you know what? I think we should just call this off because I am damn tired!" she exclaimed. "Isn’t it clear she’s being forced into straying into harm’s way? She doesn't want this! And if Logan finds out the truth, it could cost her and the Pack everything! No matter how you try to hide this, I promise you the secret will get out in one way or the other and you know the shame that will come with it- That Penelope married her mate impure. What is ther

    The dining hall was simmering with the vibrant colors of the dishes that had been served. The aroma of spices, grilled meats, and fresh herbs filled the room, making Alpha Enzo's mouth water in anticipation. He sat across from Alpha Adnan, watching as the older man enjoyed his meal with gusto. In the background was Adnan’s orchestra, playing on a universally-acknowledged chef d’oeuvre."Your cooks are truly gifted, Adnan," Enzo said, taking a sip of his wine. Everything about the Pack felt so different and foreign even though they were both Lycans. "I have never tasted such exquisite food."Adnan smiled, his eyes shining with pride. "Thank you, Enzo. I take great pride in the cuisine of my pack. It is a way of showing hospitality and respect to our guests."The two Alphas continued to eat, their conversation shifting toward the topic of the alliance.

    The silence that followed was so loud and tense that you could hear a pin drop.“Very soon you’d begin to realize the weight of your actions and why the reasons for horrible patricides are not far-fetched. I am threatening that I would kill you when I'm out of here, I'm promising you that. Who knows, I might be dead before then but if I were to advise you to pray on anything, it would be praying that I die here and not end up escaping because you will beg for death and I won't give it to you.”"Guess who's begging for death at the moment." Adnan's sarcastic remark was followed by a loud laughter that echoed throughout the room but the laughter soon died, his features going back to seriousness. He scoffed, his face contorted in pure and unadulterated jest. “So what, am I supposed to be scared or something?” He asked, a derisive smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “You should be because when all this finally comes to an end, you might be in the wake of a nightmare you will never

    Penelope sat on her bed, hugging a pillow tightly to her chest. She wore a simple nightgown, her long dark hair unkempt and cascading around her shoulders. Her eyes were red and swollen from hours of crying, and she had been unable to eat or sleep since Alpha Uther's ultimatum.The door to her room creaked open, and her mother, Yvonne, stepped inside. She was dressed in a plain blue dress, her hair tied back in a bun. Her face was drawn and tired, lines etched around her eyes and mouth from worry.Almost nothing in the entire Pack looked cheerful, almost everyone had a scowl or forlorn look, not even the Alpha who was nearly going crazy with the date of his daughter’s betrothal gradually drawing close.Penelope raised her head when she heard the sound of the door opening but sensing it was her mother, she quickly looked down again, not wanting to see her. She knew what she was here for, to preach and ask her to do what her father wanted. Which was something she would fight, even if it

    Alpha Uther sat in his large, leather chair, looking weary from the long day he had had. The sun had long since set, leaving his office bathed in the dim light of the moon. The air was thick with the scent of smoke from the fire he had built in the fireplace earlier in the evening. He ran his hand through his grey hair, trying to stay focused on the papers in front of him. The first document he picked up was a request for the purchase of new weaponry. The current stock was running low, and with the tensions rising in the neighboring territories, it was important to ensure the safety of his pack. He signed it without much thought, knowing that it was a necessary expense. The next document was a request from the neighboring pack to form an alliance. It was a delicate matter, and Alpha Uther needed to think it over carefully. He made a note to discuss it with his council at the next meeting. The third document was a report from one of the pack's scouts. It detailed the movements of a
