The Lycan's Mate 18. Brewed Fury
[Rachel's POV]Sarah and i sat in a cozy corner of a restaurant, enjoying a late lunch after our visit to Sole Haven Massage Retreat. The soothing ambiance and the aroma of delicious food filled the air, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Sarah, always enthusiastic about werewolf folklore, couldn't resist bringing up the topic of the so-called Lycan's underworld once again."Rachel, I'm telling you, there's a whole hidden world out there, beyond what we see," Sarah exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "Werewolves have their own secret society, their own rules. It's like a whole different dimension."I chuckled, indulging Sarah in her fantasy. "Come on, Sarah, you know I don't buy into all that underworld stuff. We're living among humans now, trying to lead normal lives. No secret societies or dimensions."Sarah's face fell slightly, disappointed by my lack of belief. "But Rachel, it's all part of our heritage. Our parents have stories, legends passed down through generations. We

[Gabriel's POV]As the cab brought me closer to Willowvale, my heart quickened with a mix of anticipation and nostalgia. This small town, tucked away in the embrace of vast woods, was where I had spent my formative years. It held the echoes of childhood laughter, secret adventures, and the stories of my ancestors who had blended seamlessly with the unknowing humans who shared this space.Willowvale had once been a sanctuary for lycans seeking refuge from a world that did not understand them. But as civilization spread its reach and cities beckoned with promises of progress, humans flocked to urban centers, leaving Willowvale primarily to its lycan inhabitants, unaware of their true nature. It became a haven where the ancient and the modern intertwined, a place where the forest whispered its secrets to those who listened.As the cab rolled to a stop, I paid the fare and stepped out onto familiar ground. The air, scented with the earthy fragrance of the woods, greeted me like an old fri

[Rachel's POV]As we stood by the roadside, searching for a taxi, a flicker of relief washed over me as I spotted familiar faces amidst the chaos. "Sarah, look!" I exclaimed, pointing toward a figure I recognized. "It's Michael, over there!" A warm smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I called out to him, hoping he would hear me amidst the bustling crowd.Sure enough, Michael's eyes darted in our direction, and he swiftly made his way through the throng of people, his eyes widening with concern as he took in the sight of Sarah's injury. The attention it drew from the curious humans only added to our urgency. "The cab is just over there," he informed us, gesturing toward a yellow taxi parked nearby.We hurriedly stepped into the car, grateful for the relative calm inside. As the car started to move, I couldn't contain my curiosity any longer. "Michael, how did you come to know about the incident at the restaurant?" I inquired, my voice tinged with a mix of astonishment and apprehe

[Rachel's POV]As Michael drove us into the pack's mansion, I couldn't help but notice the sight that greeted me. Almost every pack member seemed to be present, gathered in the vicinity. My heart skipped a beat, and a sense of unease settled over me. I had underestimated the gravity of the incident, and now it was laid bare before me."Wow," I exclaimed involuntarily, my voice betraying a mixture of shock and apprehension. Michael brought the car to a halt, and as he opened his door and stepped out, I knew that this was the moment we had been building up to. I exchanged a brief glance with Sarah, my closest friend, and felt a knot forming in my stomach."This is it, Rachel," Michael said, his voice filled with both solemnity and encouragement. With those words, he closed the door, sealing our fate. I took a deep breath, attempting to steady myself before joining him in stepping out of the car.Sarah turned to me, her eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. "It's time t

[Gabriel's POV]The morning sun made Willowvale look all shiny and golden as I headed to the nearby grocery store. My dad's old place needed some serious restocking after I cleaned it up earlier. Birds were chirping and there was a nice smell of flowers in the air, which helped me relax a bit.I walked into the store and went through the aisles, looking for snacks to fill up the empty fridge. I really wanted to buy a proper meal, but I hesitated for a moment before giving in. I spent my last few dollars on a warm plate of food. It was a small treat, a brief break from all the things bothering me.While I was enjoying my unexpected feast, I noticed someone entering the store from the corner of my eye. I looked up, but they were looking in a different direction, so I couldn't see their face clearly. They didn't wait to be served and just walked ahead, which was kind of unusual and caught my attention.I went back to eating, but then I heard a voice calling my name. "Gabriel?" I recogniz

It had been a while since I had taken a moment to truly appreciate the beauty of a sunrise, but my thoughts quickly turned to Gabriel.Despite assuring Sarah that it was over between Gabriel and me, deep down, I knew my feelings for him hadn't completely faded. As much as I was hurt by his initial deception, there was still a connection between us. In some strange way, I found comfort in the fact that he was a lycan as it created a unique bond that I couldn't deny, even though I held humans in high regard.I had anticipated that Gabriel would reach out to me sooner or later, but to my disappointment, he hadn't made any effort to contact me. So, there I sat, gazing at the rising sun, when my phone suddenly beeped, jolting me from my thoughts. With a mix of anticipation and uncertainty, I hu

[Gabriel's POV]The weight of my new role as alpha pressed heavily on me, a mix of uncertainty and an odd sense of acceptance swirling within. My fingers involuntarily tangled in my hair as I muttered to myself, questioning my own actions. What had I done? I hadn't sought this title, yet there was an undeniable allure to it that I couldn't ignore.With a deep breath, I approached the gathered pack members, their hushed murmurs and whispered conversations dying down as I cleared my throat. Their expectant faces turned toward me, waiting for words that I wasn't entirely sure of myself. Gathering my thoughts, I began to speak."Today has been a long day," I started, my voice resonating with a mix of exhaustion and determination. "But with your support, we've taken down Jake, the one responsible for Marcus' disappearance and betrayal." I could feel their eyes on me, their attention unwavering. "However," I continued, "we can't let emotions dictate our actions."I paused, the weight of my

[Gabriel's POV]Amidst the gathering dusk, the tension crackled in the air as accusations flew. Jake's voice rang out, venom dripping from his words as he accused me of being a traitor.

The gathered pack members watched, divided between curiosity and apprehension.The argument escalated rapidly, the anger between us igniting like a wildfire.

The Lycan's Mate 37. After Rejection
[Lowell's POV]Some of the pack members exchanged wary glances, unsure of what to make of the situation. Gabriel's ability to elude them raised doubts about Jake's leadership."You're a traitor!" Jake roared, pointing an accusing finger at Gabriel. "You betrayed us!"Gabriel's expression turned serious, and he spoke with conviction, "I'm not a traitor. I never did anything he must have told you," referring to the crowd who stood still in awe.Jake scoffed, refusing to believe Gabriel's words. "You're a cunning liar! You were the last one seen with him!"Gabriel's eyes flashed with frustration, but he maintained his composure. He turned towards the gathering, his voice charged with anticipation. "You're all itching to uncover the mystery of Marcus, aren't you?" He gestured dramatically, his finger pointing directly at Jake, whose anger had erupted like a tempest. "Then ask him." The clenching of his trembling hands, stark against his furious demeanor, gave insight into the turmoil he c
The Lycan's Mate 36. The Search
[Gabriel's POV]When Jake first mentioned that we might have to wait until nightfall if his spies failed to locate Gabriel, I didn't take it seriously until now. It had been more than three hours since we gathered in this hideout, and the sun's relentless rays were beating down on us. I occasionally glanced around at the tired and yawning members, including myself, who were growing more restless by the minute. Diana had been keeping me company, but even her presence couldn't distract me from the rumbling in my stomach.As the sun rose higher in the sky, the hunger became more pronounced, and I knew I couldn't wait until noon, my usual breakfast time. Nathan, one of our pack members, finally approached the group, with a pen and a book, asking if anyone was hungry and collecting money to buy lunch. I considered giving him my last five dollars, but then I realized it was my only transport fare, and I couldn't risk being stranded after the meeting. I tried to play it cool, hoping Nathan w
The Lycan's Mate 35. The Meeting Room
The pressure in the meeting room was suffocating as Nathan and his group collected everyone's cellphones, searching for any hidden devices and dealing harshly with those who attempted to conceal theirs. The fear and tension were palpable as we all knew Jake could be ruthless. They were thorough, even breaking the noses of those who tried to hide their phones. I felt a pang of fear and anxiety as they came closer to me, but I had to remain calm and collected.Once all the cellphones were confiscated, Jake addressed the pack again, his voice filled with authority and threat. He mocked those who had tried to hide their phones, questioning their next move. "Was it to call the human police as if they stood a chance against werewolves? Or was it to call Gabriel, the traitor they were all after?"My heart pounded in my chest as Jake mentioned the consequences of Gabriel fleeing before being caught. If that happened, he would assume there was a spy amongst us and go through every member's cel
The Lycan's Mate 34. For Loyalty, Not Belief
[Lowell's POV]Waking up early the next day, I began going about my chores, trying to clear my mind from the anxiety that lingered. Gabriel had returned to the city, and I couldn't help but wonder what changes he might have made to the plan. As I was lost in my thoughts, my phone beeped, and I saw a message from Alpha Jake. It sent shivers down my spine as it mentioned an urgent meeting at 10. The coincidence was too unsettling.Without wasting any time, I dialed Gabriel's number and called him, my heart pounding in my chest. I quickly relayed the message about the meeting and my apprehension about the timing. Gabriel's calm voice came through the phone, and he informed me that Lewis had already informed him about it. He asked me to head to the meeting and give him feedback on whatever announcement Jake made.Arriving at the Silver Crescent Inn, I found myself there ten minutes ahead of schedule, just like before. However, this time, neither Jake nor Marcus's mate had arrived yet. The

[Rachel's POV]As I finished my evening sprint around the large compound, my mind was still filled with a whirlwind of emotions. Gabriel's call earlier had left me feeling lost and confused. I couldn't fully comprehend the situation among his pack, and I desperately needed his explanations. Trying to push aside troubling thoughts, I focused on my exercise, something common among pack members but not usually done in the evening like I was doing. I was determined to distract myself from the turmoil in my heart.As I jumped over one of the roadblocks that were set up for pack members' races, my ankle landed awkwardly, causing a sharp pain. I whispered to myself, "Not again," knowing that I had dislocated it. Sarah, my friend and confidant, ran up to me with concern evident in her eyes. She had been recording my jumps over the roadblocks, and now she was more worried about my well-being. I tried to stand up and walk normally, pretending that I was okay, but it was clear I needed help.We
The Lycan's Mate 32. Shattered Expectations
The clock was ticking towards the night, and the sky looked like the full moon would be out tonight as I hurriedly made my way to the clothing store. I needed to find the perfect birthday present for Rachel. I could vividly recall Rachel gazing at a garment as we strolled together before Jake and his troubles came into our lives. The store was called "Enchanted Wardrobe," and it was known for its exquisite collection of dresses and elegant attires.As I stepped inside, the air was filled with the aroma of fresh fabrics. My heart pounded with excitement and nervousness as I scanned the racks of beautiful dresses. I recalled Rachel staring at one dress on our previous visit, and I thought that would be the perfect choice. But as I looked around, I found myself surrounded by numerous stunning dresses, each vying for my attention.Confused, I decided to seek help from the seller.

I knew I needed to be cautious, as the plan with Lowell and Lewis required precise timing, but the worry for Rachel's safety weighed heavily on my mind. I hailed a cab and instructed the driver to drop me off a fair distance away from my apartment, fearing that Jake's accomplices might be lurking nearby, waiting for any sign of me.As I approached my apartment building, I closed my eyes and focused on my senses, trying to detect any presence of fellow lycans. Thankfully, there were none, so I proceeded cautiously, not wanting to take any chances. However, when I reached my apartment door, I noticed that the handle had been tampered with, a clear sign that someone had broken in.My heart raced as I entered my once neat and organized apartment, now a chaotic mess. Expensive belongings were scattered around, and my clothes lay in disarray inside the wardrobe. I search
