"I am nervous," Lily said, her voice trembling slightly as she sat in the plush interior of the limousine. Tiffany reached over and gently squeezed her hands, offering reassurance. Garrett and Adam left before Lily as Alpha Jack requested their appearance on an important matter. Lily thought she would be walking in with Garrett and when she found out she wasn't, her courage dropped drastically. Tiffany volunteered to walk with her after her parents approved it. "Don't worry, Lily. You've got this," Tiffany said, her voice confident. "You're going to be the sassy, confident woman I know you are. We'll get through this together." Lily nodded, her nerves gradually subsiding as Tiffany's words of encouragement sank in. The limousine came to a halt, and the driver opened the door. "Showtime. You got this," Tiffany said. Taking a deep breath, Lily and Tiffany stepped out of the vehicle, their elegance and beauty turning heads as they made their way toward the entrance of the magnific
Lily swirled on the dance floor, the soft melodies filling her ears, momentarily transporting her away from the burdens that weighed upon her. She and Tiffany danced with a few men before dancing with each other. Sipping champagne, Lily relished the taste of freedom, a respite from the scars of her past. "I am going to get some more to drink. They've got the real stuff at the bar. Do you want anything?" Tiffany asked, breaking through Lily's momentary escape. "I'm underage," Lily responded, her voice laced with a hint of resignation. Champagne was okay, but hard liquor was out of the question. Her father had always been strict about that. 'Your father has no control over you anymore. You can do whatever you want,' Dina, her wolf, said. 'Let's try some whiskey!' "For a human, yes, but for a werewolf, you are well within your rights. I'll surprise you," Tiffany said with a wink, leaving Lily to continue dancing on her own. As the music played, a man approa
Tiffany, seeing the confrontation, rushed to Lily's side. "I don't know what is going on but you need to leave Lily alone." "Or what, you filthy rat? What are you going to do about it?" Mandy replied, earning a hiss from Tiffany. Kelly, who had been observing the interaction, swiftly intervened, her voice carrying a mixture of authority and compassion. "Mandy, this is neither the time nor the place. I will not tolerate the mistreatment of one of our own." "You think you're so special, don't you, Lily? But you'll never be anything more than a mere Omega. Just like your mother." "Mandy, your words reveal more about you than they do about me," Lily retorted. "It seems that it is you that is the homewrecking whore that I knew all along you were!" Her growl earned the attention of others, and whispers began. "You need to think about what you say next, Mandy. You are about to escalate this into something that should not happen. Remember words are binding tonight," Kelly warned.
Matthew pinned her to the wall, the force of the impact knocked the wind out of her. He used his chest to pin her while he was lifting her dress up with one hand as he used the other hand to unbuckle his pants. Brandy looked back and forth down the hall and saw no one coming. "Don't worry. I am going to make sure to make you scream so everyone will come and see what a slut you are," Matthew growled. Brandy stared wide eyed at him as she couldn't process that he intended to violate her so publicly. Had he lost his mind? "Get off me," Brandy growled as she pushed at him. She began to flail against him but it only earned another slap to the face, dazing her. "That's right. Be quiet like a good little girl," Matthew laughed in her ear. 'Fight back! What are you doing?' Mable screamed at her, trying to take control. 'He'll leave bruises and we can't draw anymore attention. We will have to deal with this,' Brandy responded much to Mable's dismay. Before the situation could
Dina emerged from the dressing room, stretching her limbs. It had been a long time since Lily had given her full control to run freely. Surprisingly, the usual pain that accompanied the shift during the Full Moon was absent this time. 'Why didn't it hurt?' Lily asked, curious about the unusual absence of pain. 'It's a special night tonight. The Moon Goddess has blessed us,' Dina responded, her voice filled with awe and wonder. Dina shook her fur, her senses heightened, and her muscles tingling with energy. She could sense that Lily understood the significance of this night as well. As Dina made her way towards the running trail, Tiffany launched herself from a nearby tree. Dina swiftly dodged her, narrowly avoiding crashing into the snow. "You will eventually let me groom you, wolf," Trixie chuffed, playfully teasing her. Dina, surprised by the ability to communicate with Trixie, asked, "How can you speak with me? Telepathic links can only be established once an individual
Dina stood there, her heart pounding in her chest, as the reality of the situation began to sink in. Debra, the she-wolf she had just met, claimed to be her grandmother. Her mind whirled with a whirlwind of emotions, ranging from shock to anger and a sense of betrayal. The Ash Dawn pack celebrated around her, oblivious to the storm inside her. "Our Princess has returned!" "Our pack's future is secured!" "Give her space," Trixie roared as she leaped over a few wolves to stand beside Lily. She swiped at the wolves to get them to back up as they were crowding Lily. Trixie nuzzled her, sensing Dina's stress. Debra nodded, realizing that Dina was whining in discomfort. She ordered her pack to give them space. "I am sorry. I got so excited that I forgot how you would feel. This is a lot to take in. I will give you space. We have all the time to discuss it later. Enjoy the night." "I am sorry. But, yes, we will definitely talk later," Dina responded, nodding. Debra left to cont
And like that, the fight began. Kenneth charged Garrett and they began trading blows. Garrett was faster, able to dodge most of Kenneth's punches; however, the ones that connected weren't anything to shrug at. Garrett delivered punches faster than Kenneth, taking advantage of Kenneth's slower reaction time. The other wolves and felines watched with interest at who would be victorious. If Kenneth lost, his pack would belong to Garrett if he wanted. If Garrett lost, his life would be forfeit if Kenneth chose that route as it was his right to do. "I need to stop this. This is not what I wanted," Lily said. She was excited by the brutality of the display before her and did feel that her father deserved every punch, but she was anxious as she didn't know who would win. 'You need to have more faith in him, little she-wolf,' the mysterious voice spoke to her again. His tone was light as if he found the situation amusing. "You can not interfere with an Alpha challenge. We have to let the
"No!" Kenneth and Garrett both exclaim in unison but for different reasons. The scent of an unmated she-wolf in heat began to drift through the air, capturing the attention of unmated males from multiple packs. It was a primal call that none of them could resist, drawing them like moths to a flame. From various corners of the clearing, wolves started to shift their attention, their instincts kicking into high gear. They followed the intoxicating aroma, their senses attuned to the alluring scent that promised the promise of a potential mate. Lily covered her ears as multiple wolves began speaking to her at once, all trying to lure her to them. It took everything in her to make her stand where she was, trembling from the pain of breaking the pack bond. Her decisions had sent shockwaves through the Blue Creek pack, and now she had to face the consequences of her actions. "Lily!" Tiffany exclaimed. "Are you insane? Why would you do this?" She rushed to her seeing her dropping to
