“No way!” Beta Richard exclaimed in shock, “Why didn't you say anything earlier? Why wait until now?” He asked the man.

“I didn't know….” The man cried out.

“You didn't know what?” Beta Richard asked him, getting impatient.

“I didn't know that the fire was going to keep spreading rapidly.” The man replied and Beta Richard shook his head in disappointment. “The chemicals are used in the production of our products but they are flammable in their uncombined state.” The man said, adding more details.

“So what do we do now?” Beta Richard asked, turning to the incident commander(IC), his eyes searching for reassurance as the sound of cackling flames and shouting firefighters persistently filled the air.

“Exactly, what do we do, IC?” Beta Lily pressed, her voice laced with concern, as she glanced towards the burning building, her eyes squinting through the smoke.

“We have to do something as soon as possible to avoid a greater calamity.” She added.

The incident commander nodded thoughtfully,

    “A highly flammable oil was used in one of the stores in the market,” The firefighter revealed, holding up the charred remains of a burnt can of oil for Beta Richard to examine. “That was what set the place on fire and the fire quickly spread to other places because there were fabrics, books in the library, planks and other materials which aided its quick spread.” He continued, explaining carefully to Beta Richard and the others.“Hmmmmm!” Beta Richard sighed, “But how are you sure that it was a deliberate act?” Beta Richard asked him, his brow furrowing in concern as he scrutinized the can of flammable oil in the firefighter's hand.“Sir,” the firefighter continued, “this type of oil is very rare and can't just be found in any pack.” He explained, his voice filled with certainty, as someone who definitely knew what he was talking about.“It is usually imported and only available on specific orders due to its high tendency to explode even at the slightest spark.” He paused and checked

    “Megan, please talk to me. What is going on?” Veronica asked as calmly as possible even though she was completely scared and her anxiety was shooting through the roof. Her heart, racing with every passing second.She wished Megan had put the call on loudspeaker, so she would have heard the whole conversation with her dad and there would have been no need for her to start asking questions from Megan, who was now looking so devastated with tears welling up in her eyes.But at the same time, she understood that it was a conversation between a father and his child and it should be somewhat private. So she respected her privacy.As Megan began to cry, Veronica became so confused, not knowing what to do or what words to say that wouldn't complicate the present situation or worsen it.“Megan, can you please talk to me? What did your dad say? Is Steve fine?” Veronica kept asking, her voice filled with concern but Megan just kept crying, her cries getting louder.Crouching in front of Megan an

    “Are you sure about this, Richard?” Alpha Marcus asked Beta Richard who nodded positively.“I'm positive. From the evidence found at the scene, I'm very sure that it was a deliberate act.” Beta Richard spoke with confidence. “The oil that was found was placed strategically. The fire was set on the floor where there were fabric stores and food stores, knowing well how often the food stores used matchsticks. There are also book stores on that floor.” Beta Richard explained carefully.“Hmmmmm!” Alpha Marcus mused as he thought deeply about it.“So there was no way it wouldn't have happened with all those stores filled with materials which could start a fire and help it spread quickly.” Alpha Marcus said and Beta Richard snapped his fingers.“Exactly, now you get it.” Beta Richard said to him.As soon as he got to the palace from the fire scene, Beta Richard had informed Alpha Marcus of everything that happened and all the information that he had been able to gather but Alpha Marcus was f

    As instructed, the Pack Heralds immediately walked around the pack and began to announce the Alpha’s instructions to every member of the pack. They positioned themselves at different areas from the northern part, to the southern part to eastern part and the western part, yelling the order of the Alpha to everyone who listened.“According to the Alpha's orders and for your safety, Parents, keep your children home. Spouses, siblings, everyone - stay inside. Do not come out. Lock your door and your windows.” They shouted out loud.“Also, after now. Every house will be searched. There is a traitor in our midst and we need to fish them out. Put your houses in order and if you have any stranger in your houses, it is better for you to hand them over immediately the guards get to your houses.” They continued.“Do not argue with or resist the authorities in any way, else you and every member of your household will appear before the Alpha before you are thrown into jail for harbouring a crimina

    It didn't take long before the search for the traitor in the pack began. It wasn't a simple task, especially with how large the pack was, so it wasn't a task that could be finished in one day. The guards got splitted into different teams, with each team having a leader from among themselves to make the work faster, but even with that, they still had a lot to do.The guards went from house to house, searching for the supposed traitor. The instructions given to them included that they should pick anyone who looked suspicious, especially anyone who didn't belong in the pack, so they were on the lookout for strangers in the pack.They searched and searched. Minutes rolled into hours, hours rolled into days and the days rolled into a week. They searched for a whole week but found nothing suspicious.One night as their search had now extended to the area where Steve's house was located, they began to search all the houses, asking the residents to come out, while they carried out their search

    “Have you both gone deaf?” Captain Murphy asked as he walked towards them, while the rest of his team stayed back and waited for him.“I just asked you both a question. I said, what are you doing here?” He asked again, now standing in front of them but they were too embarrassed to speak.“I believe that I'm not speaking to deaf and dumb guards, right?” He asked. “Stan? Fred?” He called their names.“Yes, Captain.” They both answered.“Oh, they are not deaf, after all.” Captain Murphy said, as he waited for them to start talking.“So?” He urged them, raising his eyebrows, still waiting patiently for them to begin to talk about what they were up to at Steve's house.“Actually, we were trying to go into the house to search for-” Fred began to talk shakily.“Wait, what!?” Captain Murphy exclaimed, interrupting him as he was unable to believe his ears. “You were trying to do what?”“To go into the house to search.” Fred replied, pointing at Steve's house behind them.“To search for what exa

    “Veronica?” She heard a familiar voice, whispering her name and she immediately opened her eyes and waited to be sure that she wasn't hallucinating and that she heard clearly.“Veronica, where are you?” She clearly heard it the second time and she immediately recognized the voice. She sighed in relief as she realized that it was none else but Megan.“I'm here.” Veronica answered, whispering too.“Where?” Megan replied, her eyes scanning through the room for any sign of Veronica. “I don't see you anywhere.” She said again as she didn't find her anywhere visible.“I'm right here.” Veronica said again, slipping her hand out from under the bed and waved at Megan, startling her. “Oh my goodness!” Megan screamed and immediately covered her mouth to avoid getting unnecessary attention from people. “What are you doing there?” Megan asked after she composed herself.“I was hiding.” Veronica revealed and slipped out from under the bed, with Megan lending her a helping hand as she got up.“Hidi

    “What is it, please?” Veronica asked, with eager eyes and Megan gave a funny look. “Really? Come on, guess.” Megan pressed, waiting for her to at least say something.“I'm not good at guessing, Megan.” She said, seeing the look on Megan's face.“Fine, since you're not willing to guess. I guess I’ll have to keep my information to myself.” Megan said, looking away.“Come on, Megan. Please, don't do that.” Veronica begged her gently. “I really am so bad at guessing. And I'm not joking. I'm being very honest with you.” She said, further but Megan refused to answer her.She then got up and went straight to Megan, saying, “Please….” with a cute little face.“Fine! Just because of that cute little face, I'll tell you.” Megan said, smiling.“So I spoke to my dad and he has agreed to speak to the Alpha.” She continued.“About what?” Veronica asked, looking confused.“About Steve.” She revealed and Veronica's eyes lighted up.“Really? Are you being serious?” Veronica asked her.“Of course yes.

    “Steve… Steve. You're h…here. I didn't know you were co…coming. You didn't tell me you were coming.” She kept stuttering, not knowing the right words to use.“How long have you been standing at the door?” She asked, bothered.“Long enough to hear every single thing you've said so far.” He replied, his eyes filled with complete disappointment.Shoving her to the side with his shoulder, he strode past her to confront the truth he had just overheard.“How could you, Megan? How could you?” She quickly shut the door, and followed him. “I can explain, Steve. I swear I can explain.” “Explain what? The fact that you caused the accident and accused Veronica of trying to kill you? Or the fact that you actually PAID Trey to take advantage of her, leading to his death? What part of it do you want to explain? Huh?” He questioned her angrily. “What did that girl ever do to you?”Megan's expression suddenly turned cold as she realized that Steve was still trying to defend Veronica.“Can't you see?

    FIRE DAWN PACK Bothered and unsettled with a lot of unanswered questions, Steve paced in his room, restlessly. He couldn't get his mind off the fact that Veronica was no longer in their pack and what made matters worse was the fact that he couldn't do anything to help her because of his father's threat. He still found it appalling that Megan was the one who made matters more complicated, eventually leading to Veronica’s unfortunate and untimely exile.The memories of that day at the palace flashed through his mind like a slideshow, and he couldn't just get his mind off it.He also couldn't get Veronica’s frantic screams as she was dragged out of the palace, out of his head, and he was so mad at himself that he could only watch helplessly, without being able to lend a helping hand.He took a seat, staring at his phone, and another smaller device in his hand, as he tapped his foot on the ground, anxiously. An idea suddenly popped up in his mind, and he suddenly got up, slipped the de

    “My…my brother?” Veronica wasn't sure if she had spoken the right words.“Yes, your brother.” Luna Isabella reaffirmed, nodding her head. “After years of searching relentlessly for you, the moon goddess blessed us with him nine years ago.” Luna Isabella explained to the already shocked Veronica.Veronica’s hands shot up to cover her mouth, and her eyes brimmed with tears which soon began to quickly pour down her face, overwhelming her as a wave of emotion crashed down on her heart.She had just found out that she had a ‘whole’ brother, and she was in complete shock and extreme happiness at the same time.She sobbed uncontrollably, her body shaking with the force of her emotions as tears streamed down her face, dripping from her chin as she struggled to process the overwhelming joy and shock that she felt at that instant.“Come on, don't cry.” Luna Isabella immediately got up, trying to console her, but it seemed like she was inconsolable.She had always wanted a brother, but when she

    “Uh… who am I meeting?” Veronica asked, with an unsure look on her face.Her eyes darted from her mother to her father, hoping that one of them would at least give her a clue about who she was going to meet.“Someone special.” Her mum replied, beaming with a warm smile. “REALLY special.” She stressed, her eyes sparkling with emphasis.“Come on, let's go.” She urged, and winked at her husband.He winked back at her, and Veronica caught them, her eyes narrowing in reluctance as a faint crease formed between her eyebrows.“I just caught you both winking at each other. I'm not sure if I want to meet this person.” She said, furrowing her brows.“Do you trust me?” Luna Isabella and Veronica nodded slowly, her expression still reluctant.“Then come with me.” Luna Isabella said, her tone persuasive.Veronica took a deep breath and finally obliged. Luna Isabella led the way, while Veronica followed closely behind her, wondering where they could be heading to.As they walked through the majesti

    “You mean you were in that pack all along?” Her father asked, still taken aback.“Not exactly. I was only there for a little over a year.” Veronica replied quickly.“Oh, wow. I actually had some friends there some time ago. It's been a long time ago though. I met them when I went on a trip concerning pack matters. It's just that we no longer communicate that much, because their pack is quite far away from here and everyone is busy with one pack duty or the other.” He explained to Veronica.“Really?” Veronica asked, surprised.“Yes. In fact, one of them was popularly called Richie back then, I think.” He said, narrowing his eyes as he tried to remember.He turned to his wife, and asked her, “Am I right?”She nodded affirmatively. “Yes, his name was Richie.” She confirmed, nodding affirmatively.“He came with a woman. He said they were representing the Alpha of their pack, who was unavoidably absent.” He added, and Veronica had a puzzled look on her face.“Hold on a second. Richie. What

    After the announcement was passed, Veronica and her parents began to discuss, catching up on a lot of things they had missed about each other.“I have a question though.” Luna Isabella suddenly said, and paused.“What is it?” Veronica inquired gently.“Why did you change your hair color?” She asked her. Veronica sighed, and answered, “Well, I just did it to look different. I wanted a change.”“You know, a lot happened in the last pack I lived in.” She said, trying to force a smile.“Care to let us in on it?” Alpha Charles asked, and Veronica sighed deeply.Seeing how hesitant she was, he quickly said, “It's okay if you still don't want to talk about it. We promise, we won't be pushy. We won't force you.” “Right?” He asked, turning to his wife.“Yes. Please, take all the time you need. We promise not to ask you about it if you don't want to talk about it.” Her mother affirmed, nodding her head.“No, it's fine.” Veronica said, respectfully interrupting her mother. “I want to talk about

    “You had been kidnapped by the sorceress, Caterina. That was the beginning of our nightmares. Our lives were literally turned upside down.” He continued.As he spoke, Veronica could feel the pain in his voice and she could only try to imagine the kind of pain they felt back then.“A search party was sent out, and the whole pack was combed in search of you, the lost princess, but no one saw you, neither did they see the sorceress. There was no place we didn't search, but the results were the same. They couldn't even find anything that could serve as a clue. It was as if she disappeared with you into oblivion.”“But who was she really? And why did she kidnap me? I'm sure I had none, but what was my offense? What did an innocent baby do to her? Why did she make me go through terrible things? Why did she make me feel worthless and useless? Why did she choose to turn my life upside down and inside out?” Veronica asked, fighting back her tears, and her parents sighed.Luna Isabella took Ver

    Still in Luna Isabella’s embrace, and seeing how happy they all were, Veronica just kept staring at them, as confused as ever.“Not to be a killjoy, but will anyone be kind enough to tell me what is going on here?” She asked, her brow furrowed in confusion. “Because I'm really confused. I don't understand what all this excitement and joy is all about.” She stated, a look of perplexity settled on her face.With tears of joy in her eyes, Luna Isabella pulled back to stare at Veronica for a short moment, and hugged her again, and seeing how emotional the atmosphere had gotten, Veronica just remained calm.“My daughter. My princess. My child.” She heard Luna Isabella’s voice, and she was shocked, because she spoke to her through the mindlink.Veronica quickly pulled away.“Did you just say something?” She asked, unsure of what she had just heard.“Yes, I did.” Luna Isabella replied with a broad smile, as she wiped her tears with a clean cloth, which her husband handed over to her.“I thin

    Hearing Veronica scream out of her unconscious state, they all rushed to her.“Are you okay? Can you see us? Can you talk? Are you in pain?” Numerous questions flew around in the air, leaving her with no space to answer any one in particular.Veronica, still in a daze, was fazed by the numerous unknown faces staring down at her on the bed.“Call the doctor! Tell him to come here right away!” Alpha Charles ordered the guards, who immediately raced out of the room at top speed.“Where am I?” Veronica thought to herself. “Who are these people, and why are they staring at me?”“Have I just been kidnapped? Am I dead? Am I in the afterlife?” Her heartbeat fastened, as she stared at them, having no idea of what they wanted to do to her, if they were going to hurt her or do something worse than that to her.“But on second thought, they don't look hostile. They look scared. Like they are afraid and worried.” She tried to judge by their facial expression.“Seems these are the leaders here. The
