"Daphne,"

Liam whispered, and I almost jumped out of my skin. I think we both need to see the town's therapist.

He placed his hands on my shoulders with worry etched on his face. "Are you okay?"

"I have told you to stop doing that!" I snapped. Why doesn't he ever listen? I don't think Liam is at fault here. I am just paranoid.

He snatched his hands like he touched something hot.

I sighed. "I am sorry."

He patted my back in understanding. I just can't get over it. The feeling that someone is watching me... It was not a good feeling. "I understand why you are jumpy."

I froze, and my neck sharply turned toward him. He does? "You do?"

He gave a nod. "You are worried about your boss." Don't worry. Just take someone with you. Everything will be fine."

He knows how much I hate staying home and doing nothing. I hid my trembling hands. How do I tell him that I just encountered a rogue wolf. Or am I just being paranoid for nothing?

He quickly pulled me into a hug. One I was grateful for. "Rela

    Marcel Mclain.I didn't ask Jaleel about the vision but watched with hooded eyes as he circled me. My eyes briefly went over Gina, but she didn't look pleased. She better suck it up because there is nothing like the Luna of Lunas. She has to be prepared for what is coming. She better be fucking up to it.The air suddenly became chilly. For us werewolves, our wolves gave us the ability to feel warm even in winter. My teeth clattered as I felt so cold that I could freeze to death."Close your eyes!" Jaleel ordered, and I was forced to shut them down.I had only gotten used to the cold when it became hotter. hot, like I was passing through a furnace. It felt like my skin was going to peel off."Jaleel!" I growled in anger as unbearable heat washed over me. I will make sure he never sees the dawn. "Alpha, I am doing what I can." If you survive this, you can go through anything." He simply stated. It only got me infuriated. I chose this oath, and I can get out whenever I want to. My wol

    Daphne Jennings."Huh." Perez muttered. We have been staring at each other for the past three minutes now. He hasn't said anything about the news I just spilled. He should say something to stop me from remembering the witch's comment in his heart. For his personality, he would rather die than admit how soft he is."You've worked here for.. three months?" He brought out a document and read from it. I didn't know he kept such things about his employees. He must be more than I thought. I nodded affirmatively. "I am,"He closed the file with this, causing me to flinch. It was really unnecessary. "How many weeks have passed?"He was talking about my pregnancy. "A week." He gives me a stiff nod. "Then we still have some time until you get heavy. Once you feel uncomfortable. You can come and see me, and then we will discuss the maternity leave program."I blinked countless times. I am speechless. Why is he making it this simple? He is kind of complicating the whole thing. I don't know if

    Marcel Mclain"Bayview?" I scratched my beards as I scanned the woman up and down. She was different from the others. More human like. I narrowed my eyes as soon as I noticed the werecat features on her. The name Bayview sounded familiar."Yes and I heard your alpha call. I want to pay my due respects." She bowed slowly."But you are a were cat. Half blood even." My guards were raised up in an instant. Maybe she was a spy sent here to ruin things for me. I took in her simple appearance. A white tee shirt with a jacket draped over her shoulders. A faint scent underlined her original werecat scent that made werewolves sneeze. I quickly indicated to the wolf gangs surrounding me that I wanted her a meter away. They did as I wanted, dragging her a bit farther. Then I urged her to continue. "What do you want?" There is no way she was just here to pay her respects. We were different terrestrial beings. Wolves and cats have never been friends from day one. If they come close to you, it w

    Daphne Jennings.It's been a week since Julian traveled. The party was in a week's time. She hasn't returned or called, but no one cared. They all assumed she went on a self-deserving break. I thought so until this morning, when Kellan ran into my apartment, saying he couldn't get a hold of Julian's phone. Whenever he dialed it, it either said it was unavailable or that the number could not be reached.Kellan nearly pulled his hair out of his skull in frustration. I gently slid the cup of hot cocoa over to his side of the table. It rained cats and dogs this morning, so it was the perfect beverage to calm his nerves down.I asked him to explain everything."I have a feeling that she has been abducted."I rolled my eyes. He was being dramatic. "Listen, Kellan. Just because you are cousins doesn't give you the right to feel that way."He pouted, folding his hands across his chest while the beverage remained untouched. "We are supernaturals; I can actually feel her... deep inside my bone

    Marcel Mclain.My nose flared as I took in her fear. Her body wasn't pleasant to look at. Wolfgang really did more than I instructed them to. It was expected since she was a fierce one. Whip marks litter her back and hands. Pus oozed out of the open wounds. She has been given the official uniform of our dungeon. We gave her her birthday suit. Naked.Alfred snatched the phone from the shivering werecat. She no longer had access rights to the phone. It made it more convincing and convenient for the both of us."Take her back to the torture room."She raised her head with so much force that I feared for her neck. "No."I tilted my head curiously. She has no say in this. "No, what?"Tears began to flow from her eyes. "Please. Don't take me back. I'll do whatever you want."I tsked at her ridiculous attempt at bargaining. "You don't have a choice. You must do whatever I say. I don't trust you a lot."She sniffled. "Please. Allow me to bring her to you. I know why you haven't sent your pack

    DAPHNE JENNINGS"Julian!" I stared wide eyed at Julian. She looked like she just came back from a vacation. I pulled her into a hug. "I have missed you! I am glad you decided to stop by." I looked around her. There wasn't any belonging she cared. She basically came empty handed. "You didn't get anything for me? Where did you travel to?"She only sighed. "Daphne. Let me into he house first."I facepalmed. "Come in. The party will start in a few hours time."She takes her seat while I went into the kitchen to offer her water. She seemed refreshed. It's been only a week yet it looked like she stayed there for months. Dressed in a navy blue shirt that covered her entire frame. She didn't even wear her usual jeans stained with paint. She seemed different from the woman I have come to know as my best friend. What changed during the week? The first thing I need to know is where she has been.She didn't appear like she would want me to know. But I know how to get information out of her. She c

    Marcel Mclain"It's mine now." I announced this to their shock.They all began to murmur, much to my displeasure. "Is there anyone who wishes to claim the land?""But there may be supernatural beings who reside there. You can't just expect all of them to be added to your pack. There must be a process!" Some alphas defended. I knew his type. They were the ones who fought for justice. Their bravery is well appreciated all over the packs, but to his park members, he is a hypocrite. He was an asshole to his people and acted like he was the voice outside. Not here because I will never allow it.A true leader never leads a double life. I know I am an asshole, both internally and externally. Anyone who failed to abide by the pack rules always got to face the consequences."Oh, shut it." I dismissed him. He is of no use to me. "Do you want me to kill you and take over your pack?" It was then that the Alpha in me decided to yawn. He has woken up. He hated it when someone threatened his authori

    Daphne JenningsThe woman who led the group raised her eyes a little. Those black pupils stared right into my soul and I couldn't move or blink. Her lips curled and I could see her razor sharp teeth. Her canine was almost touching her lower lips. I could have never noticed there was something wrong with her teeth if not for her smile.My blood chilled at the sight of her sharp claws hidden under her gloves. It only confirmed my thoughts. They weren't just wealthy people, they were witches. Deadly ones. The stories I have heard about witches didn't do justice to the magic welders standing before me. There were claims that they could change a werewolf's mate if they wanted. They could turn day into night if they wanted. They could annihilate a thousand supernaturals if they wanted. Anyone who went into war with them must know their weaknesses and it wasn't easy finding their weaknesses.I spared a moment to look around. Everyone was covering their noses from the deathly stench. But I co

    wolf: epilogueA year after the war with he black wolves…The forest exuded an ethereal beauty in the aftermath of a torrential downpour. The raindrops, like glistening jewels, adorned the leaves and flowers, sparkling in the gentle rays of the morning sun. The air was crisp and infused with the scent of wet earth and rejuvenation. Each blade of grass and every petal seemed to tremble with newfound life, as if celebrating the cleansing touch of the rain.Early in the morning, as the first rays of light pierced through the canopy, Daphne ventured into the heart of the forest. She moved with a graceful purpose, her footsteps light and deliberate. By her side was Mason in his wolf form. For no reason at all, the little monster chose to accompany her to the pack hospital. Maybe he wanted to protect her… Daphne wasn't sure of her son's motive."Dad refused to come. Does he hate pups?" Mason asked through his wolf Eli. Rio was thrilled to have him speak to her in his wolf form. Things worke

    When Daphne heard the devastating news that her baby, Mason, had been abducted right under the nose of her maid, Pilpo, a wave of intense emotions crashed over her. Initially, shock and disbelief gripped her, rendering her momentarily speechless. As the reality sunk in, Daphne was consumed by a whirlwind of emotions, the foremost being a deep and overwhelming sense of fear. The thought of her precious child being taken away from her by the black wolves sent shivers down her spine and pierced her heart with an unimaginable pain."What did you say?" Daphne asked Pilpo to repeat her statement. She didn't allow her to finish before Daphne turned to Liam. "We shouldn't have left him behind. It was all a trap. They knew that I wouldn't be with my baby and so they took him. You know that if they can't have me, my baby will be the sacrifice." "Tell me what happened." Daphne chose not to get angry at pil. She too has made a lot of mistakes but this was unforgivable. It would be unforgivable i

    "Daphne and… Liam?" Inspector Hayes tried to feign ignorance of Liam's name. It was obvious he was doing that on purpose. He had gotten up with his arms outstretched in fake joy."Yes, Liam. We would like to talk to you about our missing property."Inspector Hayes did not understand where the question was coming from. "I do not understand what you are talking about. If I remember correctly, I gave you a piece of land out of the goodness of my heart."Daphne folded her hands across her chest. "And we accepted it. Imagine the shock of finding the grave empty this morning. Do not test my patience Hayes.""Are we on a first name basis then?" Inspector Hayes' jaws grinded against each other. He was getting pissed with the direction of the conversation as they were implying something. That he did something.Daphne allowed a bit of her alpha aura to slip through her mind and all over her body. She towered him. "Cut the bullshit, Hayes. You know what we are and have chosen to take what belong

    Daphne's heart raced as she and Liam stood before Marcel's grave in the desolate cemetery. They had come here, driven by an unsettling dream that haunted her—a dream that Anna had shared with her. Her eyes widened, disbelief etching deep lines on her face as she took in the sight before her. The earth around Marcel's grave had been disturbed, the once neatly arranged soil now a chaotic mess. Panic swelled within her chest as she noticed the cut ropes that had once bound Marcel's corpse.Daphne's voice trembled as she turned to Liam, her voice filled with a mixture of shock and fear. "Liam, look! Marcel's grave... It's been desecrated! The ropes... they're broken. Anna's dream... it was true! Marcel... he's the leader of the Black Wolves. Someone took him from here."Liam's face contorted in disbelief, his eyes scanning the scene, searching for any possible explanation that could quell the rising tide of horror within them. "But how? Was anyone watching the both of you when you came

    Bayview.Bayview wasn't spared from the wrath of the black wolves. So was the rest of the kingdoms of fairies and shapeshifters. It was as if everything was happening at once.Bayview was a peaceful community where wolves, shapeshifters, and vampires are allowed to live together in harmony. There were also people who were cast out from their families but had the knowledge of the supernatural realm. They were allowed to live together.However, everything changed when the rogues were let into the land by Julian six months ago. Thanks to Daphne and her resilience, they managed to stop the attack and annihilated the rogues.The peace didn't last as the black wolves had suddenly woken up from their slumber.

    With a sense of satisfaction, Hayes finally pressed the record button. The camera whirred to life, capturing the last moments of their clandestine burial. He knew that the evidence he gathered tonight would be a powerful weapon in his fight against the supernaturals, and he relished the thought of the justice it would bring.As the camera rolled, Hayes allowed himself a smug smile. "Your secret is no longer safe, vampires. The world will see what you truly are, and you'll finally face the consequences of your monstrous acts."He wasn't surprised when they got into the black car and drove off. He was tempted to follow them to wherever they were going but he knew that would be suicide. For now, he has caught them on camera and that is enough. Their names will be brought before the meeting tonight.Presently, While Daphne and Liam prepared to confront inspector Hayes, another meeting was going on.Deep within the heart of an ancient, desolate forest, a gathering of the malevolent Black

    As the demons continued their message, their voices interweaved with a sense of cruel triumph. "This one led a pathetic pack. look at him. His head lies decapitated at our feet," the first one sneered. The second one had his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure. "Witness the fate that awaits those who dare to fight us." The third demon's voice thundered, shaking the very ground beneath them. "Resistance is futile, Daphne. Your pack is shattered, and your fate is sealed. Surrender now, or face a destiny far worse than death."Daphne's breath caught in her throat, and her legs wavered beneath her, but a flicker of determination ignited within her eyes. She refused to succumb to the terror and despair that threatened to consume her. Her voice quivered, but her resolve remained unyielding. "I will never surrender to the likes of you," she managed to utter, her voice trembling but filled with unwavering defiance. "My pack isn't broken yet and we will fight until our last breath."

    The night came quickly and Daphne's eyelids grew heavy. The moon gently illuminated her room as she nestled into her warm bed. Drifting off to sleep, her mind wandered into a vivid dream realm, where she found herself standing in a vast, ancient forest. The scent of damp earth and the rustle of leaves filled the air, as if nature itself was whispering secrets.In the distance, Daphne could hear the low, haunting howl of wolves. As she followed the sound, her heart pounding with anticipation, she soon found herself standing in a clearing bathed in moonlight. A pack of black wolves emerged from the shadows, their sleek, ebony fur glistening under the pale glow. These wolves seemed different, their aura carrying an enigmatic power.Just as Daphne's eyes fixed upon the magnificent creatures, a figure stepped out from the surrounding darkness. It was Anna, clad in a flowing emerald gown and with her hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall of ebony."Daphne," Anna's voice rang ou

    A few minutes later, Daphne was seen removing her clothes. The heat was unbearable. She couldn't bear to see Liam's eyes trace her body sensually."That was beautiful."Daphne paused. "Huh?" She didn't understand where the words were coming from all of a sudden.Liam gestured down the hall. "I meant the speech you gave. Who knew you were this hot?"Daphne felt her cheeks grow hotter than the rest of her body. The blush rose up to her ears, stopping just at the tip. "Are you serious right now? We are working together. I didn't command them or something. I have a role to play. We have to find my connection to all these. We have to go back to the outside city.""You should lead the way," Liam said sadly.Daphne rolled her eyes. "How many times have I apologized? I am sorry for going alone. Actually, I went with Vale, but that isn't the point. I am sorry for going all alone.""You said it yourself that they make you isolated. Stuff like that.
