I walked out of my office gate when I heard a loud growl behind me. I paused and turned around, spotting a brown wolf sprinting toward me. A low growl slipped from my lips. It was Meeka, and I could tell she was ready to defend me against whatever threat was coming. Suddenly, the wolf transformed back into a human. "Sorry, I run faster in my wolf form," the girl said, struggling to put on her clothes while facing away from me. "Do you remember me?" she asked as she turned around. "Angela?" I called, looking into her face making sure I wasn't mistaken. This was the first time I had seen her awake and on two legs. "You remember!" she said with a gentle smile. "Yeah. What are you doing here? In the Nightfall Pack?" Angela paused, smiling back at me. "He didn’t tell you? I was living with my relatives in the capital, but they moved back to Nightfall, and Rufus wouldn’t let me stay behind. Plus, see that tall green building over there?" She pointed across the street, and I shifted

Alpha.* Davies called repeatedly after not hearing any response from Rufus. *Take everyone inside the palace to safety, I'll be right there.* Rufus swallowed hard as he hurried to his wardrobe, his footsteps heavy as he grabbed a hood and cut off the mind link."Is everything okay?" Selena's voice calmly sounded. "The palace is on fire, and one of my elders has been kidnapped." Rufus stopped in front of Selena and kissed her deeply before pulling away. "I need to go. Don’t let Angela leave the house. The house is secure; Lillian made sure of that before she left." Rufus rushed the words out as he dashed out of the room, leaving Selena no time to reply. Once outside, Rufus shifted into his wolf form and Eclipse
Writer's POV As Rufus stepped out of the chapel, he could hear the voices outside growing louder. "Is that a green hood with Nightfall pack symbols?""That’s definitely the Alpha under that hood.""Could it really be him?""It’s him, alright. Hiding behind that hood shows just how weak you are; you can’t lead us anymore.""We don’t want an Alpha who hides behind a hood.""Don’t assume the throne is yours just because your father was an Alpha.""We don’t want you; it’s time for you to step down."Rufus tightened his grip, choosing to ignore the small crowd as he made his way to the King’s quarters, a place untouched by the Alpha's presence.With a loud bang, he slammed the door behind him.Upon entering, he hurled his sword onto the table, the impact echoing through the room.Davies, who had just walked in, barely dodged the flying sword.Unfazed, he picked it up, walked over calmly, and placed it back on the table.Rufus, fists clenched, suddenly raised his sword and brought it down

He reached out, offering her a small bottle. "Tomorrow's the day; remember that," he instructed. "Just sprinkle this in his food or drink before he heads off to battle. I know this isn't what you want, but your little sister's life hangs in the balance. My men are with her, and if you fail, they'll take your sister's life and send you her head.

He gritted and she nodded tearfully. ***Se
Writer's POV Today was the day of the sword fight between the Alpha behind the hoods and Derek, the eldest son of Elder Wealth. In less than three hours, it would all begin. Rufus stood by the window, sword in hand, lost in thought as he stared at it. A chill ran through him, and he couldn't quite understand why. Even his wolf, Eclipse, sensed the coldness. *Dude, do you feel that chill too?* Eclipse's voice echoed in Rufus's mind, but he didn’t reply. His eyes remained glued to the sword until the head maid entered with his meal. She walked in, head down, clearly trying to mask her nervousness. Her hands trembled slightly. "Your meal..." she said, bowing. Rufus didn’t even glance her way, still lost in his thoughts. "I'm not eating..." he suddenly declared, causing her heart to race. Before she could respond, he added, "I'll just have coffee instead." She let out a deep breath. "I'll get that for you right away," she said, bowing again before leaving with the tray. Mea
