RAYA'S POVI walked away from the Packhouse, my anger boiling over. I had to get away from the Pack, from the memories and the pain that lingered in the air. I ran through the woods, my heart pounding and my feet pounding the earth. I ran and ran, letting the wind and the rustling of the leaves soothe my troubled soul.I had been determined to quell my rage immediately. It always resulted in someone dying. But this time, I didn't want to harm anyone. I just wanted to escape, to be alone with my thoughts and my anger.As I reached the boundary of Xander's Pack, the warriors halted me. I recognized them as some of his elite guards, the ones who patrolled the boundary and protected the Pack from outside threats. They stood in front of me, their weapons drawn, but when they saw who it was, they lowered their weapons and allowed me to pass."We didn't expect to see you here, my lady," one of them said, his voice respectful.I nodded, my eyes still filled with anger. "I needed to escape for
RAYA'S POVI rush out of the house and into the neighbourhood, my sense of smell leading me to Lia's location. I spot her hunched over a sand castle, giggling and playing with her friends. The sight of her carefree happiness makes my heart ache. I remember the days when we all used to play like that, before our world was turned upside down.I approach her and grab her arm, pulling her up. "Come on, Lia," I say urgently. "Mom wants us back at the house."Lia resists, pulling back from me. "I don't want to go," she protests. "I'm playing with my friends."I feel frustration welling up inside me. I've been tasked with bringing Lia back and I can't just leave her here. "Come on, Lia," I repeat, pulling harder.But Lia is stronger than she looks. She resists with all her might, her friends cheering her on. I can feel the anger and frustration boiling over inside me and before I know it, I'm pulling her hair and hitting her. I hate myself for what I'm doing, but I can't seem to stop."Raya,
RAYA'S POVAs I search for Lia, I can feel my heart racing with fear and desperation. I can feel the cold sweat forming on my forehead, making my vision blur. I call out her name over and over again, but there is no answer. I look around, but I can’t see her anywhere. I feel like my world is falling apart.My mother is beside herself with worry. She’s yelling Lia’s name, searching frantically through the woods. She’s angry, but mostly hopeless. I can see the fear and the worry etched on her face. I know she’s thinking the same thing I am – that Lia is gone, lost forever."Mother, what should we do?" I ask, my voice shaking with fear. "Lia is gone, she's nowhere to be found." Tears stream down my face as I think about what could have happened to my little sister."Get your things, we need to find her," Mother says, her voice firm but full of worry. She walks around, calling out Lia's name, her voice ringing through the woods. But there's no answer, just the sounds of the driver's angry
RAYA'S POVThe howl of the wolf echoed through the night, a haunting and mournful sound that sent shivers down the spine. It started low and gradually grew louder, a mournful lament that seemed to embody the sadness of the wilderness. The sound seems to come from all directions, surrounding us and enveloping us in a sea of noise. It was a powerful, haunting sound. As the howl reached its peak, the sound died away, leaving only the soft whispers of the night in its wake.I'm lying on the floor, shivering from the cold and the fear. The sound of the howling wolves is getting closer and closer, and my mother's grip on my hand is getting tighter. I can feel her fear, her anxiety, and I can tell that she is trying to hide it from me.I can't help but cry. I'm scared, I'm lost, and I don't know what is happening. I'm only 11 years old, and I shouldn't have to face this kind of fear. My mother pulls me closer to her, trying to comfort me, but it's not enough. I can hear the howling getting c
RAYA'S POV.I sit there, huddled under the blanket, watching as my mother walks over to the Alpha and the rogue. My heart is pounding in my chest, and I can feel tears starting to form in the corners of my eyes. I want to scream, to tell them to stop, to run away, but my voice fails me.The men are laughing and making jest of my mother, which fuels my anger. I clench my fists, wishing I had the strength to fight. But I don't. I'm just a young girl, with no training and no experience in combat.The fight starts immediately, with my mother and the rogue circling each other like two predators. They both look so fierce and powerful, and I can feel the tension in the air. My mother's face is set in a determined expression, and I know she won't give up without a fight.The rogue strikes first, lunging at my mother with his sharp claws. But she's quick, dodging to the side and striking back with a powerful kick. The two of them dance around each other, exchanging blows, and I can feel my he
RAYA'S POVAfter my mother and I were taken into the Pack, I was quickly trained into a lethal weapon. The Pack had taken me under their wing and taught me everything I needed to know to be a fierce warrior. My training was intense, and I was pushed to my limits every day. I was put through various exercises, hand-to-hand combat, and even hunting.One day, while I was on a mission, I caught the attention of Alpha Enzo. He was fascinated by my strength and deadliness, and he took me under his wing. Alpha Enzo saw something special in me, and he wanted to help me reach my full potential. He began to train me personally and we formed a close bond.Alpha Enzo soon discovered that I had a unique ability to sense the presence of danger. He began to trust me more and more, and I was soon asked to go on different missions. These missions were dangerous and challenging, but I never backed down. I was determined to prove myself and to protect the Pack at all costs.As I continued to prove my wo
Alpha Asher.As the meeting with the elders comes to an end, I rose from his seat, signaling that the discussion is over. The elders also stand up, one by one, gathering their notes and documents as they prepare to leave the Packhouse."Thank you all for coming," I said, my voice echoing throughout the room. "We'll have to come up with a plan to increase our army's strength soon. We can't let our Pack be vulnerable to any external threats."The elders nodded in agreement, before bowing respectfully to Alpha Asher. "We'll keep working on it, Alpha," one of them says. "We'll come up with a plan that'll benefit both our Pack and our army."As the elders began to disperse, I signalled for my guards to follow me. I made my way out of the Packhouse, my eyes scanning the surroundings as I walked. The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the Pack's fort.As I approached my room, I took a deep breath, the weight of my responsibilities resting heavily on my shoulders. I knew that t
ALPHA LANCE'S POV.I stood on the pavement overlooking my Pack, my eyes fixed on the long line of trucks entering my territory. The sound of their engines filled the air, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in what I was building here. I had worked hard to make this Pack a safe and thriving community, and seeing these trucks filled with supplies was a testament to that.The trucks were all covered, hiding their contents from prying eyes. It was important that nobody knew what was being brought into my Pack, as it would have caused chaos if the wrong people found out. I had taken extra precautions to ensure the secrecy of these shipments, and so far, everything had gone smoothly.I was still thinking about the war we just endured. The war that tested my strength and leadership as the Alpha of this Pack. My son Ryan and I had come out of the other side, but it wasn't without its scars. The tension that came with the war had taken its toll on our relationship, but we had finall
