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
Alpha Asher.As I stepped out of the car, I could feel the harsh wind hitting my face, making my eyes water. The snow was humming loudly, filling the air with a crunching sound. The ten guards who had accompanied us followed closely, their eyes alert and their hands on the hilts of their swords. Lia was right beside me, her eyes taking in the new surroundings.We had arrived at the Lycan King's Pack, also known as the Bane Pack. This was a powerful Pack that was known to be a force to be reckoned with. The Alpha of this Pack was known to be the Lycan King, who ruled over all the Packs in the region.As we approached the entrance to the Packhouse, I could see the guards standing at attention, their eyes locked onto us. I could sense the tension in the air and I knew that this visit was not going to be an easy one. Perhaps he would have answers pertaining to the rogue wolf that has been terrorizing my Pack.The wind howled, like a pack of wolves ready to pounce. The snow came down in h
Alpha Asher.As I sat there, my mind raced as I tried to process what was happening.There she was, very nonchalant about all she had been doing. In fact she even seemed to be proud of what she had been doing the whole while.Raya, standing there beside the Lycan King, was the one who had been attacking my Pack, the one who had killed my guards.Raya was dressed in a warrior's garb, a deep brown leather armor that hugged her curves, covering her from her neck to her legs. The armor was adorned with intricate designs and symbols that symbolized strength and power.She wore tall leather boots that reached her mid-calf, which were studded with metal for extra protection. Her hair was tied back in a tight bun, and her face was painted with a fierce expression that made it clear she was not to be underestimated. Her eyes were sharp, a piercing greenI was filled with rage, my hand twitching with the urge to lunge at her. But I was in the presence of a living god, and I couldn't risk start
LIA'S POVI could feel my heart pounding in my chest as Raya approached me, claiming to be my sister. The thought of having a sibling was almost too much for me to bear, but at the same time, I couldn't shake the feeling of distrust.Asher noticed my discomfort and stepped forward, telling Raya to move away from me. I was grateful for his intervention, but the mere thought of being so close to someone who might have been a part of the experiments made me want to run.The Lycan King offered for us to dine with him, but I immediately protested. "Asher, we might be the next dead people," I said, trying to keep the fear out of my voice.Asher tried to laugh it off, but the look on his face told me that he was just as worried as I was. The thought of dining with the very people who might have been responsible for the deaths of our Pack members was frightening."You dare not reect the Kings offer, Lia."I could feel the tension in the air as the Raqy stepped forward, ready to force me to co
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
