Daphne Jennings.

I scoffed. "Meredith. I received a message of protection from those two over there. Are you telling me that I have to give something in return?"

Meredith clicked the roof of her tongue in irritation. "You didn't think it wasn't without cost, did you?" She shook her head. "Fourth generation, we are witches. Witches don't give. We take. You should know this by now. Didn't your dear mother teach you? Isn't that why you have our bloodline flowing through you? I have said too much. We don't have much time. Are you in or out?"

Is this why they have been silent about the rogues in this town? They have been in it all along! They weren't as good as they portrayed themselves as being. They were just supernaturals who didn't involve themselves unless there was something in it for them.

"We aren't giving you our child. We will protect ourselves. We don't need your help." Liam pulled me back a little.

Meredith simply gave Liam a bored look. Then she shrugged. "Suit yourself." She

    Marcel MclainAlpha McLain yawned loudly. Just yesterday, he just came back from the meeting with the elders. He was asked to behave himself or is being chained by the hefty men by the door. I chose to comply. Not because they were stronger than me but because I didn't feel like shedding the blood of an elder. It was too much hassle.Immediately I got home, I took a deep breath of the surroundings. It smelt of bleach and something else I couldn't place in Gina's body. Did she see Jaleelnfor another dose of werewolf soap?She was a sly wolf and knew it. "How did it go?""I was let off the hook. What about the meeting with the Lunas?" I removed the clothes that smelt of the elders. Then I grabbed an unlucky omega. She knew what I wanted.Gina hissed. "Those wolves didn't know when to call it quits. They go ahead dumping responsibilities on me! I am not…""Stop complaining and leave me be. I want to take a well deserved rest." Now she just annoys me with her presence. Doesn't she have so

    Daphne JenningsDaphne stretched forth her resignation letter. The supernaturals needed her. She couldn't spend time at work and spend time tending to supernaturals. It would be too much of a hassle.Mr. Perez frowned deeper when he saw the word scribbled in the letter. He wasn't happy that he was about to lose his most esteemed worker. "Why?"Daphne thought of an answer. It wasn't her intention to leave things halfway but she has to protect everyone. Humans and supernaturals. Goddess! They were so oblivious that the town was about to be destroyed by an angry Alpha. If the people thought they were safe under the protection of whatever they believed in, they were wrong.Daphne was prepared to save the world if possible from the hands of a tyrant. She knew there was no limit to Marcel's greediness. He was highly ambitious and didn't take no for an answer. She was glad she didn't get married to such a tyrant. If it was possible, Marcel would dominate the world.Not on her watch. There wa

    Marcel MclainGina rushed at me with force. She needs to stop doing that. It only makes the alpha in me excited. I slammed her to the floor. A crack was heard and her neck twisted oddly. The fight was over in no time. I must say, she really did her best. But it was average compared to my strength. Why did I even choose to fight her when I know I will destroy her. It's to punish her. She should know her place as the Luna of this pack. I, alone, was the alpha of alpha and I plan to keep that title. Not if she goes behind my back to make deals with rogues.I will show her no mercy if she continues to do that.I paused. "Submit,"She was panting hard. "I know why you are doing this. I didn't do anything wrong!"I slammed her to the floor again and another crack was heard. I don't know why she is choosing this odd time to argue with me. I could easily finish her off if I wanted to. She was testing my patience. "Submit!" The alpha in me was preparing to come out. I don't think she wants to

    Daphne Jennings"That's all for today." I breathed out, collecting the water Julian held out for me. It's been a month since we sent the letter for a non-disclosure form and it was just returned back to us yesterday. My stomach was bulging and I knew that any week from now, I will be rushed to the hospital. Despite my tiredness, I smiled at the flier pasted to the wall with white glue. It was an invitation for all abnormal people. "Is it going to work out?" Julian asked, collecting the water to drink. We both resigned from our work to make this work. Unfortunately, the letter slowed us down but now that we have gotten it, we've started. The research in the library, everything else we read on taught us that if we wanted to draw them out, we just have to throw a party for abnormal people. The werewolves, vampires and shifters here want to feel among. It would be strange to call them by their origins. Calling them abnormal was okay.No matter how I explained to Kellan, he didn't under

    Marcel MclainIt has been a month since the wolves joined our pack and everyday they trained hard. It was to be strong or be killed by me.Fifty died while fighting.Twenty were injured.Ten fainted before I could fight them.One hundred and ten survived my merciless blows."Alpha, they are here." Alfred said suddenly into my mind.I opened the curtain that separated me from the opening. I have been in this room, healing from my injuries. Make no mistake, they were trained hard by their Alphas. But they were no match for me. If Alphas were no match for me, how would ordinary wolves be a match?I came out to meet groaning and heaving. Good, they were angry. It was the right emotion I needed because we will be going into war soon."Wolves!" I called in a loud tone. They all became as silent as a graveyard. "I have chosen you to go with me into war! We are going to take over Bayview and claim it as ours!" Bayview was going to be mine but I don't think they need to know. They will be work

    Daphne JenningsShe gently tugged my hands away from her collar before straightening her clothes. "I sent myself here. Don't worry, this is my true form. Brother you can come out now. Hide and seek is over."I wasn't surprised. They had chosen to come here by themselves, and her brother was among the so-called humans! He was the craziest of them all!"I thought I was going to play human for longer." His grumpy voice vibrated in the silent room. "You.." I was speechless. Why would they take this pain to come here? "Why are you here?" They looked so young that I was taken aback for a moment. Why do they make themselves into old people?"We want to help." The girl simply said.I looked back at the crowd who was watching the drama. "It's alright. They are harmless. She helped me the last time, see?""Why is she here then? Why were any of them here? We heard they do not want to involve themselves in the war!" Park yelled and every vampire in the building agreed. He was the voice of the va

    Marcel Mclain"Oh, I am sorry." I grinned at the injured werecat. "You did well by betraying your friend. I don't know if I can say the same about me."She could betray me with something as measley as protection."I would never, knowing you could kill me." The werecat groaned in pain. It didn't bother me that she was in severe pain. It only excited me."Let her go." My little mate whispered with tears in her eyes. She was still staring at her friend in disbelief. I wouldn't believe my eyes either. But she wasn't my friend.I gently removed my hands from the werecat's hair. Some parts of her brown hair fell to the dirty floor. I turned my gaze to my little mate, ignoring the werecat as she whimpered in pain. "See, anything you asked, I would have done it for you.""Then you would have killed her if you didn't like what she asked. Stop pretending to be the good guy," the lover said. He wasn't worth my words."Little mate, is this who you chose to settle with? He is a wimp of a man.""He

    Daphne JenningsThis building was different. It took me a while to realise where we were. I squinted my eyes at the popular grey slab and the moss creeping all over the place. It was obvious to me that we were in a dungeon. I closed my eyes in fear. Now that we are in his territory, he can do anything he wants with us. I hoped the people back at Bayview were safe, just like we planned.The last thing I saw was the monstrous look of Alpha Marcel as I was injected with wolfsbane while Liam was injected with poison blood. I felt dizzy each time I tried to move. My limbs were unbearably heavy, and I knew Liam was in a worse state. The poison blood made his veins turn dark, and they were visible under the moonlight. His eyes sank in, and his lips became chapped. I couldn't believe my ears when he grabbed Julian's hair and claimed she was the one who betrayed us. We have been friends for years; why now? But Liam trusted her!I looked at Liam with worried eyes. She was his best friend first

    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

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.
