The room was dimly lit, with only the soft glow of the bedside lamp casting a golden hue on the walls. Grayson reclined against a stack of pillows, his features more relaxed than they had been in days. Evelyn sat by his side, her fingers gently brushing through his hair. It was a quiet, intimate moment that neither wanted to break, though unspoken thoughts lingered between them.Grayson’s voice broke the silence. “You don’t have to keep hovering over me, you know.” His tone was light, but his eyes were full of warmth as they rested on her.“Look who's talking?” Evelyn teased, a playful smile tugging at her lips. “That's exactly the way you treated me when I was on the sick bed too.”Grayson chuckled softly, the sound low and gravelly. “So this is revenge.”Evelyn leaned closer, her smile softening. “Yes, Alpha. So stay put.” She reached out to adjust the IV line, her hand accidentally brushing against his. For a moment, they both stilled, the contact sending a spark of warmth thro
Grayson started getting stronger with each passing day. Though his wolf, Kyle, remained silent, his physical recovery was progressing steadily. The Alpha's presence was slowly reinstating balance within the pack. He resumed back to the office and started attending to his duties once more.Seated behind the large oak desk in his office, Grayson looked through the pile of reports Beta Luke had left on his desk. A rogue sighting near their borders and the recent unrest within the pack were among the top concerns. He let out a sigh but straightened when Elder Robert knocked and entered."Alpha Grayson, may I have a word?" Elder Robert asked, bowing slightly."Make it quick, Elder," Grayson said, his voice firm and unkind.Elder Robert stepped forward, his expression a mix of concern and frustration. "I implore you, Alpha, to reconsider your decision about dissolving the council. The council has been a cornerstone of governance for generations. It offers checks and balances, ensuring n
Evelyn and Tara sat cross-legged on the floor of Evelyn’s room, swatches of fabric and design sketches spread out before them. Tara picked up a piece of white satin, holding it against Evelyn’s frame.“This,” Tara declared with a grin, “with silver embroidery down the bodice. It screams elegance but still keeps that ethereal Luna vibe.”Evelyn laughed, brushing her fingers over the fabric. “You’ve thought about this more than I have.”“Well, someone has to! You’re marrying an Alpha, Evelyn. You can’t just show up in a plain dress,” Tara teased.Evelyn rolled her eyes, smiling. “I wasn’t planning on wearing plain clothes, thank you very much. But I want something… simple. Nothing too extravagant.”Tara gasped dramatically, clutching her chest. “Simple? Evelyn, no. You’re not just any bride; you’re going to be Luna! You have to shine, especially with some of those pack members still grumbling. This is your moment to shut them up with sheer beauty.”Evelyn shook her head, laughing. “I d
Evelyn became so engrossed in wedding preparations that she barely had time to visit Grayson. Her days were packed with meetings—visiting the seamstress, coordinating with caterers, and overseeing the decorators in the pack’s square. As Evelyn stood in the square, giving instructions to a group of decorators hanging floral garlands, she noticed Diana walking into the bustling area. Evelyn’s face lit up with hope, thinking Diana might have come to show support or perhaps even to reconcile.“Diana! What brings you here?” Evelyn greeted, her voice warm with optimism.Diana’s eyes narrowed as she folded her arms across her chest, her posture exuding disdain. Evelyn’s smile faltered, sensing the hostility.“I can see you’ve finally achieved your mission in this pack,” Diana said coldly, her tone laced with contempt.Evelyn’s brows furrowed. “What are you talking about, Diana? I don’t understand.”Diana scoffed, her expression hard. “How could you not understand? This was your goal all
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
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
"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.""
"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,

James pounded on Lisa's door with such force that it echoed through the silent environment. Lisa rushed to the door, alarmed and out of breath."Elder James!" she exclaimed, clutching her chest. "Why are you pounding like that? You scared me half to death!""You lied to me," James hissed, his voice seething with rage.Lisa blinked in confusion. "Lied to you? What are you talking about?"James leaned closer, his eyes narrowing. "Grayson is alive."For a moment, Lisa froze. Then she let out a short, incredulous laugh, shaking her head. "That's impossible. Please, come inside. Let's talk," she said, stepping aside to let him in.Once inside, Lisa gestured for James to sit, but he remained standing, his arms crossed."I saw him with my own eyes," James continued. "He was alive and well in his quarters, speaking as though nothing had happened."Lisa furrowed her brows, her mind racing. "Elder, I don’t know what you saw, but it’s not possible. I was there when they said he was gone. He was
