Daphne…

I can not sleep, it is hard. I try not to imagine so many possible things that may have happened to her. A part of me cusses at me. That this was all my fault. Maybe if I had not tried to please father too much, maybe if I had done something about her parents death…we would not be here today.

I shake the thoughts away, burying my face deeper into my pillows. Daphne is not anywhere in the city. Who knows where she might be? My mind reverts back to Gina’s statement.

“I can help you find Daphne. As swift as you ever you want it…”

I recall narrowing my eyes at her, mirroring the glint in her eyes as she spoke. For once, I am desperate to do anything even if it takes listening to Gina.

“How?” I ask, “how do I find Daphne?”

She laughs hysterically, staring at me the same way someone will stare pitifully at a dumb child. I bit my insides to stop myself from flaring up, not when I still need all the information I can get from Gina.

    It is funny how I am here with Liam, in a strange city and In a cozy apartment with zero idea of what next step to follow and endless hours of trying to pick just one person’s scent that isn’t Liam. I am trying to channel my whole wolf power and magic into making out something but nothing seems to work. I can not perceive, can not hear approaching footsteps and my magical powers seemed to have gone on an unsolicited vacation. A low feeling of panic immediately hits me and I become restless, endlessly pacing about in a disorganized manner. I do not have my powers as a wolf— the realization clouds my senses, plunging me into a frenzy. What do I do? How do I manage? What if Marcel’s men are still out there? How do I get out of this mess? I am becoming hysterical each passing minutes, my mind is raking and the wheels in my brain are working endlessly, trying to figure out this whole situation with me. ‘Okay, let us do it this way, calm down Daphne. Breath, slowly. Inhale, exhale,

    Gina is so convinced that someone actually helped Daphne to run away. I am forced too. Not the literal kind of force though, but it just makes perfect sense as to why and how Daphne was able to make it out of infinity city, alive and in her own. She may not be alive though.But this is only a thought and my sense tells me that Daphne is alive and I am so we’ll determined to find her by all means. My mind flashes back to Gina…lately, we’ve managed to agree at somethings. Like Daphne would have had someone to help her and the high possibility that she is still alive and probably not in this city. Gina is a handful, not one that I cannot manage though. But for now, if I had to find Daphne, I needed her help and I had to agree to her ridiculous demands. You could easily do without her though— maybe we can work more with Alfred. Your beta wolf. A small voice reasons and for a nanosecond I consider the thought. Gina maybe be ridiculous with her ideas and suggestions but she’s smart.I c

    Life in Bayville city is much refreshing than I thought. We were starting afresh. Liam and I, we had agreed we would put the past behind, leave all the bad memories that came with infinity city die down there. Liam was right after all, we were in a new city. One without hate and discrimination. Everyone looked out for each other and made sure they had something to eat. If I did not know better, I would think I was in a fairy island where everything was perfect. But that was it with Bayville. Everything was perfect. Liam had gotten a job at the city council, he worked happily and more at ease than I have ever seen him. I could not be anymore grateful for taking this decision with Liam. Two days ago, we had taken a tour around the city. Bayville was not that much of a big city. Infact, compared to infinity city, it was just a quarter and half of it. But everyone did not seem to mind. As long as they were happy, then it was all good. The people were contented. Never have I ever look

    The Wolfgang were still out there making sure to search properly every neighboring city situated around infinity city. The search was real and intense and I knew this because I had gone along with them to thoroughly search areas that we suspected. However, we had gotten a hold of the family of the so called partner of Daphne and there was no way I was going to let him go if he did not provide answers.One thing was so annoying, they would not provide their identify, like let us through on it and my only guess was that probably they were some member of the lowest pack of another city. So, we put that aside and had decided to torture them till they gave the answers we want. None was forthcoming no matter how many times the Wolfgang dealt with them, they claimed they had no answers to our questions and that they did not even know that their brother had disappeared out of infinity city. It was frustrating that nothing was going well. Daphne however must be having the time of her life aft

    Daphne JenningsThere we were, drawing, painting, laughing. It was so fun. Especially doing it alongside Julian. Julian was good at whatever she drew and I, I was so much better at painting. At some point we got tired and decided to take a rest, there was an old man passing by, we waved cheerfully at him, “hello Mr, Jones.”“Hello Daphne, hello Julian, how are you two today?” “Fine thank you. Do have a lovely day today.” We chorused in reply. Smiling at him while we watched him walk away.“So tell me, Daphne, what brings you to Bayville city?” I shrug, we were seating under an umbrella, on reclining chairs that were comfortable, staring at the clouds and basically sipping cocktail drinks. This was the life. Of course I had not forgotten to look for a job but for now, I needed to rest, to relax Abit and integrate myself into the society. And to think I had just made my first friend, not that I knew much about her but she was better at reading my thoughts and somehow I could tell th

    “ I say we call the rogues.” Gina suggests and I cringe. The rogues? No way. Those set of wolves were another breed entirely. They stink and most times get distracted with their mission.They really are not trust worthy at all and it is like going on a big risk. This mission is worth the risk. But still there is no way I am calling the rogues. Gina gives me a bored look, I can tell she is getting pissed off by my reluctance. But I do not give in. Never. And she is going to have to deal with it.“ Okay Marcel, what do you expect? I mean if you are hell bent serious on carrying out this plan of yours, you will cooperate with me and for once just put aside all these pride. “ It is not pride. The rogues are just these set of dirty wolves that carry out dirty works and I do not want to risk being associated with them. Okay maybe this is pride but it does not matter right now. I value my pride and Gina of all person’s should know that by now. Is that not even the main reason why we are

    Daphne JenningsJulian’s house was filled with so much excitement and warmth. Everyone at the table was chatting and laughing loudly, even Liam seemed to integrate himself with the people around. He was talking excitedly with some colleagues from his work place and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. I was sitting alongside some of Julian’s friends who talked about various subjects they wished to discuss among themselves. From their personalities to what they thought about worlds and city outside Bayville, to family and work and just social gatherings that brought happy cheers and laughter to our faces.I did not have much to talk about but it was easy flowing into the conversation especially when Julian’s friends were easy to let you in on what they talked about. And it was exhilarating to laugh freely among strangers who were no longer strangers but gradually making an impact in your life.“ So tell us Daphne, what did you enjoy more doing as a child?” One of the ladies at the tab

    I was agitated and so was my wolf. Despite Daphne not wanting me, the mate bond still made me feel horrible.I guess, I sort of deserve it though seeing the horror Daphne must have passed through while she was a kid knowing her parents died right in front of her and were never avenged. I imagined she must be having the time of her life with the lowlife guy she ran away with. At this point, I was disappointed with myself. This wasn’t the alpha he’s imagined and prided himself to be. Someone who couldn’t exactly control the affairs of his own pack. Maybe I really should not have listened to Gina and involve the rogues because they weren’t exactly top on my option list. If anything, they were the last. I have had a traumatic experience with the rogues as a kid. I was what at the time? Ten? I was playing in the yard with one of the royals’ kid who was only about my age too at the time when they came and took me and the kid. I couldn’t exactly tell if they did it for the thrill or they w

    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?

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.
