The air was filled with an uproar as the warriors moved through the field, preparing for the imminent battle. The rhythmic sounds of metal clanking and weapons being readied filled the air, and each warrior focused on their task. Grayson stood at the front, overseeing the preparations, his expression stoic as he surveyed the readiness of his fighters.“Listen up!” Grayson said, his voice cutting through the hushed murmurs.“The hunters are currently attacking the Moon Stone pack. We can not wait any longer. We will attack them tonight. This is a well-coordinated enemy, they use guns and weapons lethal to wolves. Our advantages lie in our speed and strength. Beta Luke and I have devised a strategy to flank them.”He turned to Beta Luke, who stepped forward to address the warriors.“We will split into three units. The first, led by me, will engage the hunters head-on, creating a distraction. Alpha Grayson’s unit will circle, taking them from the rear. The third group will be the best
Grayson’s heart raced as he saw Evelyn collapse to the ground, the blood staining the earth beneath her. Without a second thought, he sprinted towards her, his feet pounding against the dirt."Cover me!" he shouted to his warriors, his voice filled with urgency. His eyes locked onto the two hunters advancing on Evelyn, weapons drawn, ready to strike.The warriors instantly fell into formation, swiftly surrounding Grayson and Evelyn, creating a protective shield around them.They blocked the hunters' path, their weapons drawn and their stances firm.Grayson didn’t hesitate. He leaped forward, meeting the hunters head-on with a ferocity that sent shockwaves through the air. His claws extended, his wolf instincts roaring to life as he fought with a primal intensity. He slashed at one of the hunters, knocking him off balance before spinning to face the second.Grayson lifted Evelyn up in his arms, his heart racing in his chest. Blood soaked through her clothes, staining his hands, Kyle
Grayson stormed over to the hunter, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him off the ground.“Why did she pass out? What the hell is happening?” Grayson asked impatiently, his voice filled with desperation.“Th…That’s how the antidote works. Please! Give her a few minutes, she’ll wake up!”“That’s how it works, huh?” Grayson repeated, tightening his grip around the hunter's neck.“Yes, I swear! The antidote is fighting the poison and that's why she passed out. She will wake up soon,” The hunter said through a muffled breath. Grayson released him with a shove, sending the hunter to the ground. He paced back and forth, every second stretching into eternity. His mind filled with memories, moments of his cold rejection, of his harsh words, of ignoring Kyle's plea to accept Evelyn.“Why didn’t I listen?” he thought, seeing Evelyn now so fragile and on the brink of death made him regret everything he did.“Please, Moon Goddess, make her come back to me. I will accept her,” he silently pray
The journey back to the Silvermoon pack was a slow, measured march. The sun had barely begun to rise, casting soft golden rays through the dense canopy.Grayson walked beside the cart carrying Evelyn, his eyes scanning the forest with relentless focus. Every few miles, he signaled for the group to stop, allowing Evelyn time to rest.“Alpha, you know we’re making this trip twice as long,” Evelyn said, concerned about the warriors. Though they didn’t say anything, their expressions showed they were not too happy about the incessant stops.“I won’t risk your condition worsening,” Grayson replied to her.“I am fine, Alpha. Moreover, I am riding in the cart, not walking like the rest of you. The guards are tired and hungry; most of them have bruises too. I don't want to be selfish. Please, let us keep going without any more stops. I am strong, Grayson. Stronger than you give me credit for,” Evelyn said.Grayson knelt beside the cart, his eyes searching hers. “We stop when you need to stop.
Carter, the hunter who managed to escape, ran back to their camp, panting, his face streaked with sweat and dirt. The other hunters watched him warily, sensing the tension in the air. Frank, the second-in-command, stood in the center, arms crossed, his piercing eyes fixed on Carter.“Why have you come back alone? Where are the others?” Frank questioned, his voice low and dangerous. ““They... they’re dead. An Alpha from another pack came with his warriors and launched an attack on us, they ambushed us. We didn’t stand a chance,” Carter explained, swallowing hard his saliva as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.“You were twenty in number, armed with weapons. How did one Alpha and a few warriors take you down?”“They were different. They were stronger than any other werewolves we’ve faced. They had weapons too, even guns,” Carter answered, his voice wavering “Why didn’t you contact us? You could have called the camp for backup!” Frank said.“We tried to call for backup, but—”“But w
Evelyn remained within the confines of Grayson's room till the next day. Her body was still weak from her injury and the poison, although she wanted to go back to her apartment but Grayson was adamant about her staying there, keeping her close.Grayson remained in the room with her, bringing her everything she needed, food, fresh water, and even clothes she could change into. He remained by her side all day, talking to her as if there was nothing more in the world he needed than her company.Evelyn, for the first time, allowed herself to be cared for without hesitation. She had always been independent, strong-willed, and stubborn, but Grayson’s constant attention made her feel something she couldn’t quite put into words. Something warm and tender.Evelyn was sitting up in bed, the next day, the afternoon sunlight filtering through the thick curtains.She watched as Grayson moved around the room, gathering papers on his desk and organizing them carefully.“You know,” she started,
The whispers began the moment the warriors returned from Stone Moon Pack. What had started as hushed conversations among a few members soon spread like wildfire, fueled by the warriors who’d seen the way Grayson had treated Evelyn back on the battlefield.The talk about Grayson and Evelyn's relationship soon became the words on everyone's lips at the pack.Two ladies, Lucy and Sarah, on their way to the stream to get water were busy talking about what they heard.“You hear what they’re saying about Alpha Grayson and that strange girl?” Lucy said, lowering her voice as though the grasses might have ears.“Yeah, I heard. It’s hard not to. The whole pack’s talking about it.” Sarah replied.Lucy shot her a sidelong glance, clearly uncomfortable. “Do you think it’s true? That he’s been keeping her in his room? I thought that was just a rumor,” She asked.Sarah frowned, a deep furrow creasing her brow.“I don’t know, but Alpha Grayson has never done anything like this before. He’s always
Jerry’s black SUV arrived at the Shadow Pack and approached the gates.The guards stiffened as he stepped out, their eyes darting nervously. Without acknowledging them, Jerry walked straight towards the Alpha's house, his dark aura clearing a path ahead of him.In the main hall, Alpha Jaxon was holding court, his thin frame hunched over the table as he listened to his advisors. He was barely in his thirties, his youthful face marred by constant worry. The moment the doors swung open and Jerry entered, the air in the room thickened. Jaxon’s eyes widened, and he quickly stood, dismissing his advisors with a wave.“Leave us,” he ordered, his voice quivering.The advisors hesitated for a moment, casting wary glances at Jerry, before scurrying out of the room.Jerry’s eyes followed them until the door closed.“Busy day, Jaxon?” he drawled, his voice dripping with disdain.Jaxon forced a smile, the corners of his mouth twitching, “Routine pack matters, nothing important.”Jerry remained s
“Grayson!” Beta Luke shouted as he rushed to the Alpha’s side, finding him unconscious on the floor. His heart sank at the sight of his friend in such a state.“Come on, Grayson, you can’t keep doing this to yourself. You’re stronger than this,” Luke muttered, his voice breaking as he knelt beside him. Beta Luke ran to the bathroom, filled a bowl with water, and poured it over Grayson’s face, hoping to bring him around.Grayson stirred, his eyes fluttering open. “Lu…ke,” he murmured, his voice hoarse. “Evelyn… she betrayed me. Evelyn…” His voice cracked as he tried to sit up, only to collapse back against the floor.“Grayson, listen to me. You can’t let this destroy you. You can’t… you can’t become like—” Luke cut himself off abruptly, his words faltering as he looked at Grayson with pity.Grayson let out a bitter laugh, his expression darkening. “Like my father. Say it, Luke. Don’t hold back. I’ve become just like him—a failure. A disgrace. How can I face the pack now? They’ll see m
“Where have you been?” James demanded as he entered the room, his sharp gaze sweeping over every corner, ensuring Lisa was alone.“What are you talking about?” Lisa replied, her expression feigning innocence as she glanced at him in surprise.“I was at your house yesterday, but you weren’t there. I checked here too, and you were nowhere to be found,” James countered, his tone laced with suspicion as he narrowed his eyes. “What are you up to, Lisa?”Lisa folded her arms, her demeanor shifting to one of defiance. “I was running some personal errands. Not that it’s any of your business,” she shot back.James raised an eyebrow, his lips curving into a humorless chuckle. His eyes darkened as he stepped closer. “I see right through you, Lisa,” he thought but kept the thought to himself. “Let’s get to the point. Grayson is wolfless at the moment, and the hunters are planning an attack on Silvermoon. Without his wolf, the pack is vulnerable. It’s only a matter of time before Silvermoon falls
Lisa held her neck gingerly, her fingers brushing over the bruises left by Grayson's grip. The sting was sharp, but her lips curved into a crooked smile as she walked out of Grayson's quarters."This time, everything will fall into place. No one will stop me—not even Grayson," she muttered under her breath, her voice low and cold.As she entered Diana's hospital room, her demeanor shifted instantly. Her face softened into a bright, seemingly genuine smile."Hey there," Lisa said cheerfully, approaching Diana’s bedside."Why not just finish her off completely? You have the perfect opportunity now," Missy whispered in her mind.Lisa’s smile faltered for a second but returned quickly. "Oh, Missy, don’t be ridiculous. Diana is our sister," Lisa said aloud, her tone light as she pretended to check Diana’s vitals."Sister?" Missy sneered. "What if she wakes up and tells everyone what really happened? You’ll be finished."Lisa let out a soft laugh. "She won’t wake up, Missy. You saw the d
"What are you doing here?" Grayson's voice boomed as he jolted awake, his eyes locking onto Lisa lying beside him, completely naked.Lisa stirred, her lips curving into a sly smile as she met his enraged gaze. "You're awake," she purred.Grayson's chest heaved with fury. "I asked you a question. Why are you in my bed like this?"Lisa sat up slowly, making no attempt to cover herself. "You were drunk last night, Alpha. Someone had to take care of you. That’s all," she said, her tone sweet but calculated.Grayson's fists clenched as he stood, his towering frame looming over her. "I didn’t ask for your care, Lisa! Why are you lying beside me? What did you do?" His voice was venomous, and his temper barely contained.Lisa rose to her feet, swaying her hips deliberately as she smirked. "Nothing that we haven’t done before, Grayson," she replied, her eyes gleaming.Grayson's expression darkened, his fury spilling over. "You took advantage of me again!" he roared, his hands trembling with re
Evelyn woke up with a jolt, startled by the rustling of a rabbit searching for food nearby. She had fallen asleep against the rough bark of a tree trunk, her body curled tightly for warmth. Clutching her arms to her chest, she shivered, the chill of the night still clinging to her. For a brief moment, she allowed herself to relax, her heartbeat steadying as she realized the intruder was only a harmless creature.Her dress was torn and muddied, her skin covered in red spots from insect bites. Her lips were cracked, her throat parched, and her eyes red and heavy from her sobs."Evelyn, pull yourself together. We can’t survive another day if we remain like this," Viola urged, her voice laced with concern.Evelyn wiped the tears streaming down her face with trembling hands."I never thought I would spend my wedding night in a forest," she whispered bitterly. "I should have been in Grayson's arms, safe and loved. Instead, I’ve been humiliated, and... I lost my virginity to a stranger. So
"I'm afraid our plans may have to change," he said, his voice trembling slightly, unsure of how Jerry would take the news."How? What happened?" Jerry’s voice was sharp, his eyes narrowing as he leaned forward in his seat.James took a deep breath and quickly relayed everything—the chaos in the pack, the attack on Diana, Evelyn’s disappearance, and Grayson’s collapse into despair. "I didn’t expect it to spiral like this. Grayson’s not just emotionally broken, He’s a shadow of himself now." James explained."How could this happen?" Jerry scoffed, kicking the air in frustration. "How are we supposed to lure Grayson out of the pack now?"James hesitated, then spoke, his voice low, almost pleading."There’s no need to lure him out. He’s not a threat anymore. He’s weak and vulnerable. You could come in and attack the pack directly. But… I ask that you don’t destroy everything."A dark smile tugged at Jerry’s lips. "He’s a shadow of himself, you say? That means the poison worked," he said,
"I told you, Grayson is a curse to this pack, but you refused to believe me. Now look at what’s happened again!" James said sharply, pacing the room as he addressed Demas and Gaius. "This is the second scandal within his family."Demas shook his head, his expression dark. "Enough is enough! Grayson must step down immediately, or we’ll have no choice but to take action against him."James smirked, folding his arms. "He’s already a shadow of himself as we speak. His weakness is evident.""That’s his problem," Gaius sneered. "What matters now is Silvermoon Pack’s future. We need a leader who won’t be so easily blinded or betrayed by women."The three shared a cold laugh, their disdain for the Alpha filling the room."I’ll meet with Robert," James suggested after the laughter subsided. "We need to know if he’s willing to join our cause or not."Demas scoffed dismissively. "Robert? That self-righteous fool? He’ll never agree. He’ll talk about loyalty to the Alpha until his dying breath.""
Evelyn's eyelids fluttered open at the sound of Grayson's voice, his tone sharp and filled with raw fury. Disoriented, she sat up, only to feel the cool air against her bare skin. Her heart raced as she realized where she was—a room unfamiliar, the scent wrong.Her eyes darted to the stranger lying next to her, a smug expression on his face. Panic surged through her veins.“Who are you? What am I doing here?” she screamed, scrambling to cover herself with the sheets.The man stretched lazily, smirking at her. “Baby, what’s with the act? We just had the night of our lives. Don’t spoil it now because of this pathetic excuse of an Alpha,” he said, gesturing toward Grayson. “We both know we’re meant to be together.”“I don’t know you!” Evelyn cried, her voice breaking as her gaze flicked to Grayson.She looked down at the bed, her breath hitching as she noticed the bloodstained sheets. Horror spread through her as the reality of the situation hit her like a punch to the gut. She jumped
Grayson leaned back in his chair, a faint smile tugging at his lips as he listened to Beta Luke.“They fought?” Grayson asked, his voice tinged with amusement.“Yes,” Luke confirmed. “It’s the talk of the pack now. They said it was a heated face-off, and Evelyn said some pretty harsh words.”Grayson chuckled, shaking his head. “Girls’ squabbles. I’m sure it’s nothing serious. But I’ll talk to Evelyn. Diana knows how to push buttons.”Luke's expression shifted to concern. “I get that, but you know how much the pack loves Diana. Even if she provoked Evelyn, I don’t want Evelyn to be seen as a villain. Especially now.”Grayson nodded, his tone softening. “You’re right. I’ll make sure she keeps her composure. But you should talk to your wife too—let her know when to stop provoking my bride.”Luke laughed reluctantly, nodding. “Fair enough. I’ll deal with Diana.”The conversation shifted, growing more serious. Grayson leaned forward, his fingers drumming on the desk.“By the way, Luke,” he
