As Liam laid on the bed, he couldn't help but think why Daphne was so bent on taking Marcel that far. Was that how she felt? He wondered what he could do to help her. She has been really quiet these days, only calling him when she needed to discuss things about the pack. He didn't feel like he knew Daphne of Bayview. Now, she was this new person he was sometimes afraid of talking to.

There were sometimes he would meet her in her wolf form. The one time he asked Rio why she took over, her reason was curt and filled with irritation. "I am protecting her from her emotions."

He planned to talk to her about her emotions. But there was no way he could do it because of how busy she seemed. Every morning, after feeding Mason and talking to him a bit, her eyes would glaze over and then she would disappear into her makeshift office. When it got dark, she would come out, stretching herself. Some hot afternoons, she would go out for a run in her wolf form with other wolves who cared to join in.

    "Alright. You all will begin training on the day of the full moon. If you have a son or daughter who is eighteen years old, he or she will have to join in the training. Any child below the age of eighteen will work with the omegas whenever they come back from school. Am I clear?" Vale rang out to the group of wolves that came out for a meeting. It was hard to make them come, but they were all here.Someone raised a hand. It was a heavily pregnant woman, and hovering around her was her possessive mate. "What about us?"Daphne sighed, wanting to answer the question herself. "You have your mate to work for you. Although when I carried Mason, I worked for weeks. I can't say the same about you, but you won't sit all day." She raised her eyes to the rest of them. "No one is allowed to be lazy in this pack. You either join the gatherers, hunters, omegas, or warriors. I cannot lead a weak pack. So, if you cannot adhere to instructions, you will be punished.""What type of punishment?" The peo

    Daphne paced back and forth in front of her closet, her heart pounding with anxiety. She had a date with Liam tonight, and she wanted to make a good impression. But what should she wear? She pulled open the closet door and surveyed the contents. There were plenty of elegant dresses and fancy outfits, but she didn't want to look too formal. This was supposed to be a casual date, after all. She had been wearing formal outfits throughout the day. This was something between Liam and her so she wanted to look casual and perfect.After several minutes of indecision, Daphne settled on a pair of dark jeans and a cozy sweater. It would be a bit windy at the bonfire spot. The fire might begin to warm them after some time. She pulled them out of the closet and held them up to her body, trying to envision how they would look on her.But something didn't feel quite right. Maybe the sweater was too baggy, or the jeans too tight. She tossed them back onto the bed and rifled through her closet again

    Daphne began to hear the sounds of voices raised in conversation. The voices were deep and resonant, and they seemed to come from all around her. She couldn't quite make out what they were saying, but she knew that they were the voices of the elders.One day, her voice will become like that.Finally, Daphne arrived at the citadel's central chamber. The chamber was a massive circular room with a high ceiling and an intricate mosaic floor. In the center of the room, there was a large stone table surrounded by ornately carved chairs. The elders were seated around the table, deep in conversation.Daphne felt a thrill of excitement as she approached the table. She knew that this was her chance to prove herself to the elders, to show them that she was worthy of their respect and trust. With a deep breath, she stepped forward to address the elders. "Hi," she slightly bowed. The sound of her voice echoed through the chamber, and for a moment, there was silence. "She is the one we have been

    Now,As the meeting progressed, the vampire lord rose from his chair and made his way to the rest room probably. Daphne watched as he passed her by, and she felt a chill run down her spine. "We have a problem." Julia said, removing the veil that covered her face with ethereal grace. Daphne nearly gasped at her beautiful face that reflected ancient connection to nature.Her yellow hair cascaded down her back in waves, adorned with delicate blossoms that seemed to dance with every movement. The elder fairy's face was etched with age, lines and wrinkles telling tales of centuries past. Her eyes, though ageless, gleamed with a profound wisdom that seemed to pierce through the depths of one's soul.Her voice, soft and melodious, filled the room, carrying a gentle authority that commanded attention. Daphne was just noticing and she wondered if it was because she removed the veil that showed her true self."You are a fairy." Daphne guessed correctly in shock. It wasn't a question.Julia bea

Could it bring closure or perhaps even justice? The uncertainty of what lay ahead added a layer of complexity to her emotions, leaving her feeling both intrigued and cautious.As the weight of the revelation settled upon her, Daphne recognized that her journey had taken an unexpected turn. She turned the door knob to find Liam struggling with their feisty son. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her."I am glad you are here." He handed Mason over, wiping the back of his hand on his trousers. His face looked greasy and Daphne knew he hadn't taken a shower. "How was it?"Daphne was still in a daze. "It was… er… majestic, mysterious, special and…""And what?" Liam urged her.She glanced at him worriedly. "We have been wrong in our research. Coming from the horse's mouth, I think we were wrong."Liam was the most clueless. He coul

    "Hooray!" Daphne and Liam had cautiously entered the bustling bar, aware of her non-human presence amidst a crowd of humans. They found a corner booth where they could observe the revelry while maintaining a semblance of anonymity. As they settled in, a group of boisterous individuals approached, clearly in high spirits. They didn't seem to notice anything unusual about her, attributing her appearance to an eccentric costume."Hey there, What brings you to this wild party?" One of them asked, clearly drunk.Daphne flashed a mischievous grin at Liam. Then she faced the man whose head dangled on his neck. "Well, I didn't know there was a party." from the corner of her eyes. She could see the thumbs up Liam gave her. She was doing pretty well with these pure souls. The second person, joining in the banter, chuckled and raised her drink. "Cheers to that! You are in the right place." She gasped, noticing Daphne's blouse and the bundle strapped in front of her. "But I must say, your blous

    They were all standing beside the bar. There, they watched drunk men walk on wobbly legs in and out of the bar. They must have had a long day."You have taken a lot of vodka, but you don't look drunk to me." The boy began scrutinizing Liam.Liam sighed; he didn't know what to tell the boy. He will have to flush the alcohol in his system with rabbit's blood when he gets home later tomorrow. For now, it did nothing to his system. Any further action will cause harm to his body.Daphne patted Liam's back. "He just has a high tolerance for shit like that."The boy nodded. "So how did the inspector treat you?" You are paying me double time; I don't mind standing here with you guys, so long as you pay me per hour."Liam briefly glanced at Daphne. They had agreed to pay the boy for the time he would be spending with them. He was more sly than they thought."I must get paid for information too. We don't do things cheaply." He added that he would confirm their suspicions."Fine." Daphne licked

    "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.

    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?

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.

    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.

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.

    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.
