Vivian tiptoed towards the backdoor down into the cold. It was cold outside. It was already at the old hours for the pats and cricket to sing melodies since coupled with the dancing trees.

Vivian wore a black hoodie with a wrapper she carefully used to cover up her head. This was the only time she had to do this.

She had sometimes felt eyes on herself and just couldn't help who was operating her every move.

Her heart kept within her as she walked, unlike the usual which was always busy with horns of vehicles. The road was quite like a graveyard. On her left hand was a lamp which she used to see clearly the path she walked. She had made arrangements with someone who was waiting for her down the lonely path that led to the woods.

She briskly walked faster, resolving in her mind that what she saw along the road wasn't real but her mare's imagination.

As she got to her meetup point she couldn't see anymore but just total darkness. She had accidentally left her phone in her room.

    Alice waved over Damian's face, who lay like a log of wood on the bed. She quickly drew him more, using the dovey to cover his nakedness.She was breathing out heavily. She took away his clothes and went down to the bathroom to take her bath.She allowed the water to pour down her skin, calming her nerves. It felt like a heavy hand had tightened up her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.Fear gripped her. What if things go all wrong? What will become of her faith? She just needed to get her hands on Arya as a bargain; she had asked to keep her while Jasper took his son. She shut her eyes and dripped herself up under the shower, allowing the water to pull through her skin.'I still miss them,' she said under her breath. Memories of what used to be one family flooded her head.'If only you all were here with me,' she hugged herself, daydreaming when she was with her family. What is money without the love of a family?She had wished to go on a field trip with her dad and broth

    Alice's heart began to race, her shaking hands reaching to the hem of her dress. Panic ran through her spine."How could she be gone?" She asked no one in particular. This wasn't the plan; her bargain chip was missing with no clue, and her hope was dashed to the rock. Her breathing accelerated at the thought of Jasper coming to her mind.How could she explain? It was a wrongdoing business by a rival pack, and now she couldn't keep to her words. The consequences made her panic more. Her eyes dilated, moving from one end to the other, already feeling fatigued with so many thoughts rushing into her head, and her mind battled.She searched every corner, tuning every piece of furniture; her hope dashed as probably Arya was hiding underneath them. She opened up the wardrobe but was met with hangers with no pieces of fabric. The room was damn empty except for the bed and the couch.Alice ran a hand across her already combed hair; she didn't care whether it was frenzy. She needed to find Ary

    Sweat trailed down the back of her neck; she was panting like she was being chased by a bull.Her eyes flashed from one end to the other; a sudden interruption eloped from the silent corridor outside the door.A tiny, shanky voice echoed down the silent night, growing louder with each passing moment."What was that?" the maid asked, shaking and clutching close to Arya. Fear gnarled through her veins, and her heart dropped into her stomach."What is that noise that is coming in this direction?" All eyes were fixed on the door, which was closed but wasn't locked. They both held their breaths when the footsteps stopped at the door.Arya shut her eyes, silently praying that her baby shouldn't woo, not at this time of the moment. Was this a hunted place or just her imagination? But it was crystal clear; she was just the only one hearing the voices. No one will ever think she was crazy.Arya's heart was pounding within as both she and the maid hugged each other, their hearts throbbing aud

    Vivian stepped into the pack house, her head straight with confidence. She held a file in her hand while she walked in.She never thought of meeting Alice along the line; she highlighted the Lamborghini that was packed in front of the pack house. She adjusted her dress and took a deep breath. She walked into the tall building.She's been here countless times and knows exactly where to find what she wants.Her mind was all focused on meeting Damian. She couldn't wait to see the expression that would be painted on his face.Memories flooded her head back then, when she was just 10. "I can't breathe whenever I'm around you," she voiced out on the day she came visiting."Don't you think you need to get the doctor to check on you?" Vivian squeezed her eyes in frustration, throwing her fist into the air when Damian looked away.Can't you get the gist? Can't he see I care much about him? She felt shy professing her love to get childhood friends; fear of rejection was more prevalent, and by

    Vivian stepped out of her room, her footsteps echoing softly in the corridor as she made her way towards Alice's room. With each step, she pondered whether she should continue on this path. Doubts swirled in her mind and she thought of going back. But like autumn leaves caught in a gust of wind, unsure of where they would land she was undecided for a few moments before stealing her mind. “I'll just have to hurry and get done with it.” she muttered to herself before hurrying towards the direction of Alice's room. As she approached Alice's door, her heart quickened, uncertainty tightening its grip. Should she knock and confront whatever lay beyond, or turn back and retreat to the safety of her own room? The decision hung heavy in the air as she paused, her hand hovering inches from the door, her breath caught in a moment of indecision.Vivian's mind raced with a mix of determination and trepidation as she approached Alice's chambers. She couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, a

    Arya jolted awake, her heart racing as if she'd been sprinting through a nightmare. She lay there, disoriented, unsure when or how she'd succumbed to sleep.But her dreams lingered, etched in her mind like freshly carved scars. The memories felt tangible, as if she'd lived them mere moments ago. The blood, the death, the unrelenting terror seemed too real to be mere fantasy.A nagging sense of unease settled in her chest, whispering that there was more to her experiences in the safehouse than met the eye. The enigmatic woman, the lurking shadow, the disembodied voices, gripped her with a paralyzing fear.Arya's mind raced, searching for answers, as the shadows in her room seemed to deepen, twist, echoing the darkness she'd faced in her dreams. Her thoughts swirled, a maelstrom of uncertainty, as she struggled to distinguish reality from the horrors her mind had conjured.She tried to shake off the feeling of dread, telling herself it was just her imagination playing tricks on her.

    Alice led Vivian out of the house, her eyes never leaving her friend's face. She could sense the guilt and nervousness radiating from Vivian, like a palpable aura surrounding her. Alice's mind whirred with suspicions, her instincts screaming that something was amiss. But she pushed those thoughts aside, choosing to let the matter simmer on the back burner for now.After all, she had bigger fish to fry. Her focus was on reclaiming her rightful place, and she wouldn't let Vivian's antics distract her from that goal. Alice came to a stop in the garden, her heels sinking into the soft grass as she settled into the chair beneath the umbrella. The gentle burble of the fountain and the graceful dance of the fish mesmerized her, a welcome distraction from the turmoil brewing in her mind. The late afternoon sun cast a warm glow over the scene, and Alice couldn't help but envy the carefree existence of the fish, their worries limited to the confines of their watery world.Her thoughts, however

    Arya sipped her tea, still seated in the delicate chair in her bedroom, surrounded by elegant furnishings and soft candlelight. “How does one tell the time here, though? We're supposed to be underwater, right?” Arya joked.The maid poured some more tea from the teapot and smiled in response to Arya's words.The maid's eyes twinkled as she replied, "When you've stayed here a while, you'll find that your heart becomes the clock and your dreams the sign of a passing in time." Arya's gaze drifted away, her mind stirring as she heard the word "dream" again. Memories of her dreams, long forgotten, began to resurface, and her mind grew unsettled. She felt a shiver run down her spine as she wondered what secrets her subconscious held, and what signs her dreams might be trying to convey. The maid's enigmatic words only added to the intrigue, leaving Arya with more questions than answers.Arya's eyes locked onto Celine's, her hesitation evident before she took a sip of tea, set the cup down,

    Arya stood before the tomb, her body shaking with sobs as she gazed upon the final resting place of her son, Akira. The tomb, reserved for descendants of the alpha lineage, was a poignant reminder of the legacy that had once belonged to her family, but now rested with Damian.Luna Seraphine's gentle touch and soothing words offered little comfort as Arya's grief consumed her. The pain was suffocating, and the realization that she would never see her vibrant, full-of-life son again was a constant, crushing blow.Arya's heart seethed with anger towards Alice and Leo, her cousins who had orchestrated the palace attack. If not for them, Akira would still be alive, safe in her arms. The thought fueled her anguish, and she whispered into the wind, searching for the essence of her deceased parents, who had promised to always be with her.But their spirits seemed distant, and Arya felt only despair. The warmth and love she once knew were now replaced with an unrelenting sorrow. Even with Luna

    The priest ran his hand through his thinning hair and let out an exasperated sigh. "Arya, I really wish there was something we could do. But the laws of our order expressly state that we must not interfere in conflict between brothers of the same kind. The consequences are dire. I'm sorry Arya, but our hands are tied," the man said somberly with his eyes closed.Arya thought to herself and knew there was no use trying to convince the order to go against their traditions. But there had to be a way to salvage the situation and stop her cousins from visiting evil upon the pack and perhaps, the whole earth. Just then, an idea flashed across her mind and she gave it no time to settle well before voicing it out."How about you train me to harness my magic and become powerful enough to stop the enemy. That's not something you cannot do, right?" Arya asked, hiding the pain and anxiety in her voice as she spoke.The priest squinted his eyes, deep in contemplation. He focused on a particular gr

    Damian approached the house with a plastic bag containing their dinner, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a mix of caution and confusion. He had parked the van a few poles back, just as he'd done when he was with Anika, and walked the rest of the way, his senses on high alert. As he moved through the night, he swept his gaze from side to side, high on alert to spot any strange movements, his ears perked up to catch the slightest sound. Not that he expected danger to be lurking around, but one could never be too careful.A sense of foreboding and dread sat in his stomach, and he suddenly felt goosebumps on his skin, a rare occurrence for a Vis Wood like himself. His heart raced slightly faster, and his hand instinctively went to the pocket where he kept his dagger, a habitual gesture that had become second nature to him. These were odd behaviors for his wolf, and he could only wonder what was wrong. The house came into view now, and he looked to the side, ready to cross over th

    The Blood Sisterhood were a secret sect of elite female warriors who paid allegiance to the Luna alone. They were part of the hidden tradition of the pack, a secret passed down from one generation of Luna to the next.Luna Seraphine took a deep breath, gathering her strength. "Sisters, I need you to go and ask for help from the Order of the Sun, the coven Arya's father belonged to during his lifetime. Tell them a daughter of theirs is faced with the threat of death at the hands of wicked people."The forewoman spoke up with a hint of hesitation in her voice. "This thing you ask of us, it totally goes against all that we represent. It is against our ethos to seek help from the witches." She stated gently but firmly.Luna Seraphine's voice came barely audible above a whisper. "Unless you're up for a battle against hell itself, I suggest you do as I have just requested."The woman argued, "We shall fight till death then. Our pride as a group supersedes the need to ask for help from the l

    "There's no chance that would ever work!" the witch cried immediately after Leo told her what he needed her to do. She gently extracted herself from underneath his piercing gaze and walked over to the other side of the room."And why is that?" Leo asked, his voice cold and impatient."You see, the only reason why your sister could call you back up from the underworld was because she had at least a part of your dead corpse. And the head especially, makes things easier. If you don't have her body with you, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help," the old witch explained, feigning confidence and busying herself with arranging spices on a shelf in the corner.Leo flashed to her side using his heightened reflexes and hoisted her up in the air by her neck. "I'll go get her body. If you are not here when I return, I will find you, and I will kill you," he threatened through gritted teeth."I'd also have to wait for a full moon," the woman's desperate voice pleaded."I don't care! You'll

    Damian consoled Arya over the loss of her child, but he couldn't seem to comfort her enough. She was a wrecking ball of sobs as she held baby Akira's dead form in her hands, even as Damian held her to his chest. What the bastards they had just killed did to the baby was heartless. Even in death, Akira looked like a beam of peace, his lips and skin now taking on the grayish pallor of death."I wish I had the words, my love," Damian found himself saying into the air, even though he was addressing Arya. It hurt him to see the woman he loved in such a state.Tristan and the other men from the elite command that had come with Damian to rescue his mate stood akimbo around them, at a loss for how to console both their alpha and his mate.Suddenly, Arya let out a loud gasp and began crumbling to the ground, struggling to breathe. Everyone was too stunned to do anything at first, until Damian snapped out of his shock and held her up firmly, struggling to contain both her weight and that of the

    Damian sat in the backseat of the van, lost in thought. He was confident that after asserting his dominance in the Silver Crescent pack, Jasper and his followers wouldn't dare trespass again. He adjusted his new jacket, provided by Tristan, knowing his previous clothes would be ruined after his transformation.As they approached the Ember Moon pack, Damian's keen sense of smell detected something strange. He exchanged a concerned glance with Tristan, who nodded in agreement. "Kill the engines," Damian ordered, and the driver complied without question.Damian jumped out and crept behind the wall, motioning to Tristan to follow. "Break the men into groups," he whispered. "Take the secret side gates scattered around the fence. We need the advantage of surprise." Tristan nodded and relayed the orders to the men, dividing them into four groups to cover the North, East, West, and South wings of the premises.Damian led his group of six, including Tristan, towards the West wing. As they appr

    Arya and Luna Seraphine sat on their seats, their senses on high alert. The sounds were getting closer, and Luna's voice was laced with urgency as she turned to Arya and said, "Quick, go to Akira. I don't like these sounds."Arya's heart sank into her stomach as she remembered her dream and recalled that Akira went missing in the dream. She never found him. If that were to happen now, she'd kill herself. She was sure of it.She ran as fast as her legs could go, her pace fueled by adrenaline. She turned into a side door to climb into a corridor when a body was tossed out of the corridor, and she stopped dead in her tracks. Her wolf instincts, though rarely active, screamed danger. The corpse was dressed in palace guard attire, partially shifted into its wolf form, badly disfigured, with a gaping hole where the left eye should have been and another in the chest.Slowly, she lifted her eyes to look into the corridor where the body was flung from. Her skin crawled at the sight before her.

    Damian strolled into the garden, his eyes scanning the area for his mother and Arya. He recalled his mother inviting Arya to tea the previous night and smiled, remembering the closeness they shared. He had finally made up his mind to sire Jasper's child, and his thoughts were filled with Arya.As he approached the umbrella-shaded table, he beamed with a wide smile. "Top of the morning to you two, beautiful ladies." He kissed his mother's forehead and took Arya's hand, lifting it to his lips. His eyes locked onto hers, and he heard her subtle gasp."Hello, Arya. I trust you slept well?" Arya replied shyly, "Yes, alpha. Thank you."Luna Seraphine playfully rolled her eyes. "Yes, I slept well too, thank you." Damian chuckled and said, "I was going to ask you that, mother." He turned to Arya, his smile lingering.He noticed the tea on the table and teased, "I see you've both decided to have tea without me, then." He picked up his mother's cup, and she protested, "Put that back down, sil
