ALPHA ASHER.As I stepped out of the Packhouse, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease wash over me. The number of guards standing outside was overwhelming and it felt like they were all there just to keep us contained. I turned to Raya, the queen of the Pack, and asked her why there were so many guards."Raya, what's the meaning of all these guards?" I asked, my voice laced with concern.She looked at me with sadness in her eyes and simply said, "These are not good days."Lia, who had been walking next to me, chimed in with a melancholic tone, "These days are not good days,I couldn't help but feel a knot form in my stomach as I looked around at the guards. William and the guard behind us were chatting and laughing, but I could tell that even they were on edge. Something was definitely wrong and I couldn't shake the feeling that we were in danger.As we made our way through the guards and outside the Pack, I couldn't help but feel like we were being watched. The hairs on the bac
ALPHA LANCE.As I slowly woke up from my slumber, I rubbed my eyes and sat up on my bed. I glanced out the window and saw the first light of dawn creeping through the darkness.I let out a deep sigh and got out of bed, slipping on my robe. The robe was a soft, warm material that had been passed down from generation to generation of Alpha wolves. It was made of a dark green color and had intricate golden patterns woven into the fabric.I walked towards the window and looked out at the Pack. Everything was still, the only sounds that could be heard were the chirping of crickets and the occasional hoot of an owl. The sky was still dark, speckled with millions of stars that twinkled above me. It was a peaceful scene, one that I loved waking up to.I walked towards the door, feeling a sudden hunger. I decided to go down to the kitchen and grab a quick breakfast. As I made my way through the Pack, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and contentment.The Pack was quiet and calm, a sig
ALPHA LANCE.I return to my room, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over me. My thoughts are racing, trying to piece together the best way to proceed with the mission ahead. I sit down in my armchair and try to calm my heart, which is pounding against my chest. The eerie silence in my room only adds to the overwhelming feeling of uncertainty.I close my eyes and take a deep breath, trying to clear my mind. But my thoughts continue to race, and I find it hard to sleep again. The sky outside is gradually lightening, the darkness of night slowly giving way to the light of day.I think about the last time Ryan suggested that we go to war. It was a catastrophe, one that I would never want to experience again. But I know that this time is different. This time, we have a real chance of reclaiming Lia, of taking back what was once ours.But there are risks involved, and I can't shake the feeling of doubt that has settled in my mind. What if something goes wrong? What if I fail? The thought i
Alpha Lance."Good morning, Alpha," one of them greets me, bowing in reverence."Good morning," I reply, taking in the array of weapons and armor that line the walls.The armory was quite a busy place, the sound of clanging metal and low voices filling the air. The new generals were already at work, selecting their weapons and checking their armor for any signs of wear. Down the long line of weapons were a group of men, gathered around a bunch of blades, dangerously brandishing it against one another and chatting among themselves.I made my way to the shelves that held the weapons and carefully selected a few daggers. These weapons were small, but deadly considering the fact that some of them which were meant only for my usage except on very dire instances contained very deadly poisons that could destroy and wreak havoc to the body in a matter of minutes.I picked up one of the daggers and examined it closely. It was a work of art. The blade was sharp and gleamed in the light, and th
Alpha Lance.I stood at the edge of the pavement that overlooked my pack. As the sun began to set and the darkness began to creep in, a strange sense of excitement built up in me. I could see the lights in the distance, indicating life within the pack, and I could feel my heart beating faster in anticipation of the mission to come.I was looking for you” Ryan’s voice sounded behind me, his footsteps sounded after.Ryan's all-black attire is made of a tight-fitting fabric that accentuates his muscular physique. The material was lightweight and breathable, perfect for a mission that involves a lot of movement. He also wore a black hooded jacket with a high collar that shields his neck from the cold.The jacket had zippers on the sleeves and pockets on the sides, which provided easy access to his weapons. Underneath the jacket, he has a tight black shirt that clings to his chest and abdomen. The shirt has long sleeves that cover his arms to the wrist. His pants are also black and are ma
ALPHA ASHER.I sit across from Lia in my room, trying to figure out a way to get myself to trust him. Lia is perched on the edge of the couch, looking at me with a skeptical expression."I'm not sure we can trust him," she says, shaking her head. "He's too friendly, too willing to help. It's almost as if he's trying to lull us into a false sense of security."I lean back in my chair, thinking. "He's a king," I say, my voice low. "Kings have to be diplomatic, even in times of war. It doesn't mean he's not trustworthy."Lia shakes her head again. "I don't know, Asher. It just seems too good to be true."I take a deep breath, thinking about all the possible strategies we could use. "What if we pretend to be interested in an alliance with him? We could use that as a way to get close to him, figure out his true intentions."Lia looks thoughtful. "It's risky," she says. "But it might work. We just have to be careful not to reveal too much about our own plans."We continue to debate differe
ALPHA ASHER'S POVI entered the Packhouse and walked past the guards stationed at the door. My head was bowed low in thought, going through the conversation I had with Lia earlier.I couldn't shake off the feeling that she was right about the Lycan King, but I also couldn't ignore the fact that we needed his support. My thoughts were interrupted by the sight of General Edgar walking towards me."Good evening, Alpha Asher. I'm glad to see you're back safely," he said in a formal tone, bowing slightly."Thank you, Edgar. I was just about to ask you how have things been in my absence buy I've been very busy and stressed as of late?" I asked, as he handed me a stack of reports."No threats, Alpha. Everything has been peaceful," he replied, and I heaved a sigh of relief.I went through the reports quickly, making notes of important things. As I finished, I looked up at Edgar and asked, "We talked about the recruitments shortly before I left. And things haven't changed for the better, in fa
ALPHA LANCE'S POVThe woods were thick, with the trees towering high above us, their branches intermingling to form a dense canopy overhead. The moon was full, casting an eerie glow over the landscape that made it seem almost otherworldly. We walked in silence, my heart beating fast in my chest as I felt the weight of the night bearing down on me. The darkness seemed to swallow us up, making me feel vulnerable and exposed.Suddenly, we heard the howls in the distance. They were loud, so loud that they seemed to echo through the entire forest. They were the kind of howls that made your blood run cold, that made the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. I looked over at Ryan, who was walking next to me, and saw that his hand was already on the hilt of his sword. We both knew that we had to be ready for anything.We kept walking, our pace quickening slightly as we tried to move through the forest as quietly as possible. But the howls grew louder and more frequent, and we knew that
LIA'S POV.I was lying on my bed, reading a book when I heard a loud scream coming from downstairs. My heart began to race as I sat up and tried to listen for any other sounds. As I stood up to leave the room, I felt something strange in my throat. It was like a lump that wouldn't go away, and it made me feel sick.I stumbled towards the door, but my legs were shaking so much that I couldn't walk properly. I knew that something was wrong, and I needed to get downstairs to find out what was happening. As I made my way down the stairs, the feeling in my throat intensified, and I began to feel dizzy.Suddenly, I knew that I was going to throw up. I tried to hold it back, but it was too late. I ran towards the restroom and barely made it in time to throw up into the toilet. The taste in my mouth was disgusting, and I felt like I was going to be sick again.After a few minutes, I managed to compose myself and rinse my mouth with water. I knew that I had to get back downstairs to find out w
ASHER'S POV.I feel like I've been carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. The exhaustion of the past few weeks has finally caught up with me, leaving me feeling like a shadow of my former self. My mind is foggy and my thoughts are jumbled, making even the simplest tasks feel like a Herculean effort.I used to enjoy the simple things in life - a good meal, a warm shower, a book by the fire. But now, even these small pleasures have lost their appeal. My taste buds have dulled, and I can barely distinguish between flavors. The warmth of the water in the shower does little to soothe my aching muscles, and I find myself wanting to crawl back into bed instead.The world seems to be moving in slow motion, while I am stuck in quicksand. My mind is constantly racing, yet I feel like I am not making any progress. I can barely remember the last time I felt truly rested, truly at peace.I try to shake off these feelings and focus on the task at hand - the rebuilding of our Pack. But th
RAYA'S POV.I walked towards my Packhouse, my senses heightened and my heart beating with excitement. The guards all parted ways for me, as if they knew I was coming. I could sense the air of respect around me, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.As I walked through the Packhouse, I saw the Alpha King seated on his throne. He looked up at me, a sly smile on her face. "Well, well, well," he said. "If it isn't the prodigal daughter returning home."I walked up to him, trying my best to maintain my composure. "Hello, Your Majesty," I said. "It's good to be back."The Alpha King raised an eyebrow. "Is it?" he said. "You've been gone a very long time, Raya. Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"I felt a shiver go down my spine. I knew that the he was just teasing me, but there was always a hint of truth to his jokes. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty," I said. "I had to take care of some things."He leaned forward. "Well, now that you're back, you'll have to make it up to us," she
RAYA'S POV.As I walked through the ruins of Lance's Pack, my heart felt heavy with satisfaction and anger of still dealing with Lance. The destruction was palpable, and it seemed to seep into every pore of my being. The air was thick with the smell of smoke and ash, and the ground beneath my feet was littered with debris.The once-beautiful buildings were now nothing but a pile of rubble and broken concrete. The walls that had once stood tall and proud were now crumbled, like a stack of cards that had been knocked down by a gust of wind. The roofs that had once protected the inhabitants of the pack were now gone, leaving only the sky above.The silence was deafening. The only sound was the gentle rustling of the leaves as the wind blew through the trees. It was as if the Pack had been frozen in time, and I was the only one left to bear witness to the destruction.I walked through the ruins, my eyes scanning the scene in front of me. The buildings that were once the center of life in
ASHER'S POV.We were met with resistance, but we fought back with all our might. The sound of shattering glass and the smell of smoke filled the air as we made our way deeper into the facility.I saw Raya's deadly accuracy with her throwing knives as she took down an enemy guard. Raya's fighting skills were impressive as she dodged a punch and kicked her opponent in the gut. The rest of our warriors were equally skilled, and it was clear that we were a formidable force.I led the charge, taking down any guard that came in our way. We made our way to the center of the lab, where Lance had kept his most powerful anomalies. They were kept in cages, and it was clear that they had been mistreated and abused.I felt my anger and disgust boil inside of me. These creatures were innocent, and they had been used as weapons by Lance. We had to put an end to it. Without hesitation, we destroyed the cages, freeing the anomalies from their captivity.As we made our way out of the lab, I could hear
ASHER'S POV.As I walked into the quarters where the warriors Raya had brought were staying, I was immediately struck by the flurry of activity. There were people everywhere, rushing around and preparing for the mission ahead. Weapons were being sharpened and polished, gear was being packed and checked, and there was a general sense of excitement and anticipation in the air.I walked through the crowds, taking in the scenery and the way the warriors were scattered in groups, talking and laughing and preparing for battle. It was clear that these were experienced fighters, each one ready and willing to do whatever it took to ensure the success of our mission.As I made my way through the bustling crowds, I eventually found myself outside of Raya's room. I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should interrupt her, but ultimately decided that it was important to talk to her.As I opened the door, I was surprised to see Raya engaged in a passionate embrace with a man I didn't recognize. The
ASHER'S POV.As I stood on my balcony, overlooking the courtyard below, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in Raya. She had just returned from a meeting with the Alpha King, and she had brought back a large group of warriors with her. They were all gathered in the courtyard, discussing their plans to destroy the lab where Alpha Lance was breeding anomalies.I watched as Raya moved among them, her hair streaming behind her in the breeze. She looked fierce and determined, and I couldn't help but feel a swell of admiration for her. She had always been strong-willed and independent, and seeing her take charge like this was a sight to behold.The last mission was not any different from this one because Lance could be restructuring and regathering new warriors. It had been a dangerous mission, but we had succeeded in getting Lia back safely.Now, we were going back to Lance's Pack to destroy the lab where Lia's gene could have been used to perfect the anomalies. It was a risky plan,
ASHER'S POV.I wake up to the sound of Lia's breathing. Her eyes are still closed, but her lips are curled up in a small smile, making my heart skip a beat. I gently brush her hair away from her face and place a soft kiss on her forehead. She stirs slightly, but doesn't wake up. I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom.The warm water from the shower is soothing as it cascades down my body, washing away the sweat and dirt from last night's battle and lovemaking. My mind wanders to Lia and the way she moaned my name as we made love. The thought alone makes me hard again. I quickly finish my shower and wrap a towel around my waist before heading back to the bedroom.Lia is still asleep, but her breathing is more peaceful. I kiss her forehead again before getting dressed. As I walk out of the room, I feel a sense of excitement in my chest. I know what I want to do, and I'm eager to do it. I head down to the packhouse and meet with William, my beta, who greets me with a smile."Good morn
ASHER'S POV.As I leaned in for a kiss, I could feel the passion and desire burning inside of me. My lips met hers and the world disappeared around us. Lia kissed me back with an intensity that I had never felt before. Her lips were soft and warm, and I couldn't get enough of them.Our tongues entwined, exploring each other's mouths. I pulled her closer to me, my hands roaming over her body. Lia moaned softly, her hands gripping my shoulders. I could feel the electricity sparking between us, the chemistry palpable.As we kissed, I felt like I was finally home. Lia was my mate, my soulmate, and being with her was everything I had ever wanted. We pulled away from each other, panting and breathless.As I leaned in for the kiss, I felt a surge of electricity between us. Lia's lips were soft and warm, and her tongue danced around mine. I couldn't get enough of her. My hands roamed her body, feeling the curves and contours that I knew so well.Her body was mine, and I wanted to explore ever
