Grayson was walking through the woods, trying to unwind when he heard a faint cry. He decided to ignore it as he didn't expect anyone would be in the woods.Due to the presence of dangerous creatures in the woods, the pack members rarely ventured in alone.This was why Grayson loved coming into the woods. He found solace in the peace and quietness it offers.He heard the cry the second time, this time it was a little bit louder than the first one and the voice sounded familiar."Who could be out here in the woods at this time of the day?" Grayson said to himself as he made his way toward the direction from which the cry had originated.As he approached the direction in which the sound had come from, he caught sight of a familiar figure with brown hair“Evelyn?” Grayson muttered."Why is she in the woods?" Kyle said, feeling agitated at the sight of Evelyn.Grayson noticed Evelyn grappling to free herself from something, but he couldn't discern what it was from the considerable distanc
Evelyn tried to explain what had happened in the woods to Diana, Lisa, and Beta Luke but they found it hard to believe the story, especially since Evelyn's heel, where the snake had bitten her, was now completely healed."I believe you, Evelyn. Thank goodness Grayson arrived in time to help," Lisa said, gently grasping Evelyn's hand.Diana gave Evelyn a sharp look before walking away from them.“What did he say about you not leaving the pack?” Lisa asked."I didn't even get the chance to ask him about that. I blacked out in the woods after the snake bite," Evelyn explained."Let me ask him," Beta Luke said, staring at Evelyn. He had observed the longing in Grayson's eyes while he was holding Evelyn earlier. He suspected Grayson might be interested in sleeping with Evelyn, which was likely why he was asking her to stay back.“Alpha Grayson,” Beta Luke said as he linked him.“What?” Grayson responded sharply.“Evelyn wants to know why you are stopping her from leaving the pack,” Beta Lu
“Huh, Grayson is a guy! Of course, he did it for the pleasure of it,” Lisa revealed.“Oh my goodness, you must have been so hurt,” Evelyn asked.“Not really. I was not as hurt as when my mate rejected me,” Lisa explained.“But there must have been some feelings you had for Grayson, to have agreed to something like this,” Evelyn remarked.“Not really, I did it for Diana. I owe her a lot. I owe the Woods family a lot. They took me in when I lost my parents,” Lisa said.“You grew up with Grayson and Diana?” Evelyn asked.“Yes,” Lisa responded.“But that doesn't mean you should sacrifice your happiness for them. Grayson is such a jerk, how could he sleep with you when you are practically like his sister, and now he is denying your child” Evelyn protested.Lisa smiled, “Grayson is just acting tough on the outside, and trying to build a wall around his heart so he doesn't get hurt but deep down he is not a bad person. You will find out when you get to know him,” “Get to know him! That's ne
“The council of elders has requested to have a meeting with you,” Beta Luke informed Grayson as he strode into his office. Grayson looked up from the papers he was attending to, his expression tense as he met Beta Luke's gaze with a piercing look.“Council of elders?” Grayson repeated.“Yes,” Beta Luke affirmed.“What business do I have with those bunch of old fools,” Grayson snapped.“Your sister reported the situation with Lisa to them,” Beta Luke informed. Grayson's eyes blazed a fiery red, their intensity piercing through the room as his body shook with anger. His jaw clenched tightly, the muscles in his neck visibly tensed as he struggled to contain his emotions."Warn your wife to tread carefully, she is treading on thin ice with me and I will not spare her because she is my sister," Grayson growled, his voice low and filled with a warning tone.“I tried to warn her but she didn't listen to me,” Beta Luke said.“When is the meeting?” Grayson asked.“Later today,” Beta Luke sai
Grayson sneered while casting a sharp look at the elders.“I will do no such thing. The council does not make decisions for me. I am old enough to make my own decisions,” Grayson declared.Alpha Grayson, no one is calling you a child. However, as the Alpha of our pack, certain responsibilities are expected of you, including taking a Luna. A Luna plays a crucial role as the mother figure of the pack, and your refusal to marry is causing a void in those responsibilities. We cannot ignore this matter any longer due to your personal choices, Alpha," Gaius, another elder interjected.“You can get someone to fill that position, I do not care,” Grayson said."That is unacceptable! How can we do such a thing? That is against our tradition. The Luna's position is specifically designated for the Alpha's mate," James, an elder, asserted firmly.“Do not talk to me in that tone, I am still your Alpha,” Alpha Grayson yelled, his muscles quivering.“For now,” James responded.“Is that a threat?” Alp
“Why did you piss the council off?” Beta Luke inquired as he followed Grayson outside.“Those bunch of old fools can't tell me what to do. You remember how they tried to rob me of my rights when I was young after my father's death. They wanted to make someone else Alpha, saying I was too young to lead them,” Grayson said.“I remember Alpha Grayson, the more reason you shouldn't piss them off now,” Beta Luke said in concern.“I am not afraid of them, they can not do anything to me. I think it is high time I dissolve the council, I should have done that a long time ago,” Grayson said.“Dissolve them?” Beta Luke exclaimed, shock written on his face.“You heard me right,” Grayson said.“I am afraid the pack members will not like that, Alpha,” Beta Luke said.“What value do they add to this pack other than sitting down and discussing irrelevant things? Yet, the pack pays them a huge amount of money as salary,” Alpha Grayson said.“I will suggest you tread carefully with them anyways,” Beta
“Lisa. Oh my goodness, what do I do?” Evelyn said, panicking as she checked if Lisa was still breathing.The door to the house opened and Lisa looked up to check who it was and saw Diana come in.“Diana, thank Goodness. Lisa was eating and just suddenly passed out. I didn't know what went wrong?” Evelyn said.Diana squatted down beside Lisa, checking her pulse to see if she was still breathing.She found out she was and mind linked her husband.“Please come to Lisa's house, I need your help,” Diana said.“Alright. I am on my way,” Beta Luke said.“What did she eat?” Diana asked.“Pancakes,” Evelyn replied.“What happened?” Beta Luke asked as he saw Lisa lying unconsciously on the floor.“I don't know yet but from these rashes on her body. I think she is having an allergic reaction. Let's get her to the hospital,” Diana said.“Okay,” Beta Luke lifted Lisa from the floor and they made their way to the hospital.Diana swiftly put her on the bed and examined her, confirming it was indeed
“You need to be careful of Lisa. I am sensing a bad energy from her,” Viola warned.“Lisa? No, I think you mean Diana,” Evelyn said.“I mean Lisa. The one who is accommodating us in her house at the moment,” Viola clarified.“I am confused. Why will you be sensing a bad energy from her? She is a good person, she is nice to us,” Evelyn argued.“I just want you to be careful, that is what I sense from her,” Viola said.“Viola, you are jealous because she slept with your mate before you could get the chance to,” Evelyn said, laughing at Viola.“No, that is not it. I don't just know why I am getting this dark energy from her,” Viola insisted.“Alright, alright, I will be careful,” Evelyn said.***“Welcome back,” Evelyn said to Lisa as she came back from the hospital“Thank you. I am so sorry for putting you into trouble, I'll be more careful next time,” Lisa said with a smile.“It is fine. I am just glad you are okay,” Evelyn said.“Yes. I am glad it didn't affect my pup,” Lisa said, rub
The guards sprang into action, positioning themselves along the banks. Bows were drawn, arrows notched, and with a sharp command, a volley of arrows rained down into the stream.The sound of arrows slicing through the air and piercing the water echoed through the area as Grayson and Luke watched closely, their eyes scanning the surface for any sign of movement.An arrow struck Gilbert in his arm causing him to wince out in pain as waves of agony course through his body. He quickly clenched his teeth to stifle a groan to avoid being heard by the guard. He pressed his palm against the wound, desperately stemming the flow of blood.“I can’t be caught,” he murmured to himself, his voice barely audible over the muffled sounds of the stream. “My life and that of my pack members depend on this.”“Shh,” James said, gesturing to him with his hand for him to remain still. The two of them remained submerged, the cold water numbing their bodies while arrows continued to rain down around them.
“Yes, don’t be surprised,” James said, his tone laced with malice. “A lot of us want him dead in this pack.” He leaned in closer, his piercing eyes holding Gilbert’s gaze. “Now, tell me—who is your Alpha, and why does he need information about Grayson?”Gilbert hesitated, but the oppressive silence and James’s unwavering stare forced him to speak. “My name is Gilbert. I’m from the Shadow Pack. Our Alpha is Jaxon. He needs this information to give to the leader of the wolf hunters. If he doesn’t comply, the hunters will destroy our pack,” he revealed, his voice trembling slightly.James’s brows furrowed in thought. “So, the wolf hunters are real. Do you think their leader has the power to kill Grayson?”Gilbert let out a heavy sigh. “I don’t know. Grayson is said to be incredibly powerful, and nearly impossible to defeat. That’s why we need a way to lure him out of the pack or find a weakness we can exploit. My Alpha also wants to learn more about his history—it’s critical to the plan.
The guards marched into the woods under Grayson and Beta Luke's command, their sharp eyes scanning for any clue. But it was as though the intruder had vanished into thin air. No scent lingered, no footsteps pressed into the damp earth. Frustration etched itself on Grayson’s face. “How is this possible?” he growled, his voice tight with anger.Beta Luke’s brows furrowed. “It’s like he’s not even a wolf… or he knows how to cover his tracks too well.”“Whoever he is, he is no longer here in the woods,” Grayson said and reluctantly called off the search.However, he didn’t let his guard down as he stationed some guards to remain in the woods while he asked the others to go into the pack and station themselves at strategic locations.He ordered all pack members to be alert, and every corner of the territory was on high alert for a stranger.In the evening, a guard near the bustling market square spotted a young man moving suspiciously.He was tall and wiry, with a hood pulled low over hi
“Alicia and Gloria, you are hereby banished from the Silvermoon pack. You are to leave by nightfall, and never return,” Grayson declared.The crowd erupted into murmurs as Grayson passed his judgment on the girls.“Let this serve as a warning to everyone,” Grayson announced, his voice sharp with finality. “Evelyn is my mate, chosen by the Moon Goddess herself. She will be respected and treated as such. This is the last time I will show leniency to anyone who dares to harm her. From this moment forward, any act against Evelyn will be considered treason, punishable by death.”A tense silence fell over the crowd, broken only by the murmurs of uncertainty and unease rippling through the pack.Grayson’s piercing gaze swept across the gathered wolves. “If anyone here doubts my judgment or questions the will of the Moon Goddess, you are free to leave the Silvermoon Pack. But know this—I will continue to protect and serve this pack with everything I have.”Though some faces in the crowd revea
The Silvermoon pack gathered at the square, murmurs rippling through the crowd like restless waves. The morning sun cast a sharp light over the clearing, illuminating every tense face. Grayson stood on the raised platform, his presence commanding silence as he gazed over his people.Behind him, Beta Luke stood stoically, and to the side, were Alicia and Gloria, forced to kneel, their faces pale with shame.Grayson raised his hand, and the murmurs ceased immediately.“Wolves of the Silvermoon Pack,” Grayson began, his voice cutting through the crisp morning air, low and commanding yet filled with underlying emotion. His piercing gaze swept over the gathered crowd, each pair of eyes fixed on him with rapt attention.“Have I ever failed you since I became your Alpha?” His voice rose slightly, the question echoing across the square as his eyes darted from face to face, searching for any sign of dissent.The crowd remained silent, a charged stillness hanging in the air as pack members e
Grayson stormed into the cell after Beta Luke informed him they had captured Alicia and one of her accomplices. His steps echoed off the stone walls, his expression dark and unyielding. The air in the room thickened with his dominance, making even the guards uneasy.“Where is the fourth wolf? The larger one with red eyes?” Grayson demanded, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade.Beta Luke hesitated. “Alicia claims she isn’t part of them. She said it was just her and two of her friends who attacked Evelyn.”“And you believed her?” Grayson growled, his tone dangerously low, his eyes blazing.“I called you here to verify the truth,” Luke replied calmly.Grayson’s jaw clenched as he turned his attention to Alicia. Without a word, he strode across the cell and grabbed her by the arm, lifting her off the ground with alarming ease. He slammed her against the wall, the impact reverberating through the small space.“Tell me the truth. Now,” he hissed, his face inches from hers.
Grayson stopped suddenly in the woods, his head tilting as Kyle caught something in the wind.“Freesia and lavender,” Kyle whispered urgently. “That’s her scent,” Grayson said, his heart racing as he took off on a run, following the faint trail.As Grayson pushed through the trees, he saw her lying in the grass, her cream fur soaked with blood and she was surrounded by three other wolves.“It’s her!” Kyle roared, emerging from within and charging forward with blinding speed.One of the wolves barely had time to react before Kyle grabbed it and hurled it against a tree with a sickening thud.“Oh no. It’s Grayson!” James whispered, his voice trembling as he said to his wolf, “We can’t fight him. Get us out of here now!”James’s wolf didn’t hesitate. With a growl, it turned and bolted into the dense forest.Kyle snarled, ready to chase them down, but Grayson’s voice cut through the chaos. “No! Let them go for now.”Reluctantly, Kyle relented, his fury simmering as the other two wolves s
Grayson stood in front of the guards Beta Luke had assembled, his sharp eyes scanning them.“Spread out and begin a house-to-house search. I want every single building in this pack scoured. Don’t miss a single room,” Grayson barked.“Yes, Alpha!” the guards chorused before dispersing quickly.Beta Luke approached, a grim expression on his face. “We’ll find her, Grayson.”“We better,” Grayson said through gritted teeth, pacing back and forth. His wolf, Kyle, was restless, growling every few seconds.Diana arrived at the scene and strode toward Grayson, arms crossed, her expression a mixture of curiosity and exasperation.“Are you sure she was taken?” Diana asked, her tone skeptical. “What if she left on her own accord? Why create such a fuss over someone who doesn’t belong here?”Grayson stopped pacing, his eyes narrowing dangerously. “She didn’t leave on her own, Diana. She’s been receiving threats.”“But still—”“Not now, Diana!” Grayson snapped, his voice sharp enough to make her fl
“How can a girl like you come from nowhere and steal the Alpha's heart?” one of the cloaked figures sneered, striking Evelyn across the head.Evelyn glared up at her, defiance blazing in her eyes. “Because I am his, and he is mine. Get that through your thick skull, coward.”The figure let out a cruel laugh, her voice dripping with mockery. “You keep calling me a coward, yet you’re the one tied up and completely helpless. You claim to have Alpha’s blood in your veins, but you fight like a weak little chicken.”“Then untie me,” Evelyn shot back, her tone cold and daring. “Show me your face if you’re not afraid, and let’s settle this one-on-one. Or are you as spineless as you seem?”The figure stilled for a moment, her hands moving to the hood of her cloak. “Oh, darling, I’ll show you my face. It’s only fair you know who’s going to make you disappear.” Slowly, she pulled back the cloak, revealing her identity.Evelyn’s eyes widened in shock. “You? You’re the one behind this?”“Yes, it’s
