At the Montgomery pack, Marinetta lay unconscious on her bed. A small bird flew in through the open window, the bird flew around the room for a few minutes before landing gently beside e Marinetta It hopped around her motionless form, spreading her feathers on her its tiny feet pattering softly on the bedsheet.After some time, Marinetta's eyelids fluttered, and she slowly regained consciousness. As she opened her eyes, she heard the bird's soft chirps and felt its light movements."Your noise is disturbing me, can't you be silent for some minute," she mumbled groggily, trying to wave the bird away.The bird tilted its head and chirped, "I've been waiting for you to wake up since. I am so worried I didn't see you yesterday"Marinetta laughed softly, the absurdity of the talking bird momentarily lifting her spirits. But as her laughter faded, the events from earlier came rushing back to her mind. She remembered the fight, the fury, and the moment she had stabbed Harley.Panic seized her
It had been days since Harley had been confined to the healing bed. Despite Maranda casting numerous spells to aid his recovery, his wounds were healing slowly, although he remained stable. The atmosphere in the pack was heavy with worry and uncertainty.After another long day of casting spells to heal him, Maranda called Marinetta to her side, her expression grave. "Marinetta, I need to talk to you about Harley's condition," she began.Marinetta’s heart pounded in her chest as she listened. "What is it? Why isn't he healing?"Maranda took a deep breath. "The dagger that was used to stab Harley is not just any ordinary weapon. While casting healing spells, I discovered that it's an ancient dagger, crafted from a combination of wolfsbane, silver, and powerful spells. Such weapons were used in ancient times specifically to kill powerful werewolves."Marinetta's eyes widened with horror. "What does that mean for Harley?"Maranda shook her head slowly. "I can't say for certain what will h
Zack noticed the tension in the air, he saw the way Harley was looking at Marinetta, and he noticed he saw her as a tight stranger, "Harley, Marinetta is a friend," he said gently, "a very close one."He said trying to make Harley understand Harley’s confused expression softened slightly, but he still looked puzzled. " Okay but I can't remember her and the other girl's face," Harley said pointing at Maranda "But wait Why is everyone looking at me like this?" he asked."Is anything the matter? my the long look from everyone" Harley said looking at everyone's faces Confused again ' You didn't remember anything ' Liam said looking at him in the eyes " About what? I didn't get you" he said and continue 'I remember being in a club with Lola yesterday, and now I wake up here. All of you are looking at me asking questions"Zack exchanged a worried glance with Maranda and the others then moved closer to Harley "OK let me explain a little to you, You were injured in a battle with the Lau
A few Years AgoThalia sat with her friends at the tennis courts in college, enjoying the sunny afternoon and their laughter. Suddenly, a tall, handsome guy walked by, drawing everyone's attention. His presence was magnetic, and Thalia couldn't take her eyes off him."Who is that?" she asked, her heart racing.Her friend, Megan, glanced over and smirked. "That's Brian, the alpha from the Manian pack."Thalia’s eyes widened in surprise. " Wait, did you just say the manian pack? The Manian pack? The one known as the Divine Pack? The pack whose members can communicate with animals after awakening their wolves?"Megan nodded. "That's the one. They're pretty famous around here."“ Wow, I have heard about them but did they communicate with animals?” Thalia asked with excitement “ Yes we are told but no one has seen them talking with animals, “ Megan said with a little confusion Before Thalia could gather the courage to approach him, Brian had already gotten into his car and driven away. Sh
Thalia noticed that Reed, another alpha from the Laufey pack and the next pack leader of her pack, was friends with Brian. Although Reed and Brian weren't particularly close, they met regularly during basketball games. Thalia saw an opportunity. By becoming closer to Reed, she hoped she could see Brian more often and maybe even learn more about him.Thalia began spending more time with Reed, following him home and to the gym, under the pretext of friendship. Reed, always the gentleman, didn’t mind her company and enjoyed their conversations. He didn’t suspect that Thalia’s true interest lay in Brian.Throughout their days at college, despite being close to Brian through Reed, Thalia never found the right moment to confess her feelings. The end of college approached rapidly, and Thalia felt a sense of urgency. She knew she had to tell Brian how she felt before it was too late.On the day of their graduation, Thalia made up her mind. As the ceremony ended, she searched for Brian, determ
Brian hesitated, glancing back at his pack members who were waiting for him. "I appreciate the offer, Reed, but I really should be getting back."Reed’s smile remained, but his eyes held a hint of something deeper. "Come on, Brian. Just one drink. We’ve been through so much, and it would be good to catch up, don’t you think?"Brian considered it for a moment, remembering their shared times on the basketball court and the camaraderie they once had. With a nod, he relented. "Alright, just one drink."The two alphas walked into the Laufey pack’s territory, engaging in casual conversation. They reminisce about their college days, the games they played, and the challenges they faced during the war. The atmosphere was relaxed, almost nostalgic.As they entered Reed’s home, the conversation shifted to more serious matters. "So, how have things been with you?" Reed asked, pouring two glasses of whiskey.Brian took the glass, his expression thoughtful. "It’s been tough. The war took a toll on
A sigh escaped faded pink lips. Charcoal eyes gazed into the mirror as their owner,Marietta applied the makeup given to her by the elders on her face drawing lines acrossher cheeks. Marietta's shoulders slumped slightly, her third time, to make it right. Gainher wolf and leave the pack grounds, she did not care if she was going to be declared aRogue omega as long as she distanced herself from them.She dusted her hands after drawing the last of her makeup and turned to attend hernext big task, making up her hair; Opening the drawer, she took a black ribbon andwrapped it around her blond, curly hair to form a neat bun. .“That's about it.” She puffed her cheeks out in pride, for a self-made job she had done asplendid job making herself look presentable.Marietta wore a blouse that came up to her knees, the blouse had a low V-cut aroundher neck reaching her chest exposing her well-endowed assets slightly.

Marietta's breath hitched in her throat, her nostrils were assaulted by the fresh scent ofthe river stream, a musky mud odour and the ambers of a burnt oak tree. In her mind,she could hear Monica whistling and howling to the top of her lungs, Marietta got animage of a cub dancing around, tail wiggling in the air and tongue out of her mouth.A shadow covered her vision, she looked up and a tint of red covered her face, from theleft to the right. The scent she had smelled earlier twice as strong. She raised her eyesslowly; taking in the person in front of her, from his semi-buttoned up blue shirtexposing his chest, to the small but visible Adam's apple, to the his hair which was darkas the darkness around them. His sharp jawline, thin lips curved into a smirk and thosetwo onyx orbs that bore into hers.Marietta saw the world through those eyes, she was stuck in place, her mind and bodyresigning to the domineering presence of Silas. His words sounded like melodies to her.He's he
