Grayson stood before the assembled guards in the Silvermoon pack's training grounds.His commanding presence, once dulled by despair, was slowly returning.The guards, sensing the shift in their Alpha, stood straighter, their attention fixed.Grayson cleared his throat. “I won’t sugarcoat this—war is upon us,” he began, his voice steady but sharp. “James’ head on our border wasn’t just a warning. It was a declaration. The hunters won’t stop until they destroy everything we hold dear.”The guards exchanged glances but said nothing, waiting for him to continue.“Beta Luke and I have identified critical vulnerabilities in our borders,” Grayson continued, pacing before them. “Effective immediately, I’m increasing patrols on all entry points. Each shift will be doubled. I know this will stretch us thin, but I will personally oversee additional training to make sure every one of you is prepared.”“Alpha,” one of the senior guards stepped forward, “It’s good to see you back, but what happens
“Diana, can you hear me?” Beta Luke called out excitedly, leaning closer to her.“Luke,” Diana replied faintly, her eyes scanning the hospital room.“Oh, Diana! You scared the life out of me. I thought I was going to lose you,” Beta Luke said, his voice thick with emotion.“What happened?” Diana asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper.“You don’t remember what happened to you?” Luke asked, his brow furrowing in concern. “Diana, do you know who I am?”Diana sighed and closed her eyes briefly before reopening them, tears glistening in her gaze.“Of course, I know who you are. You’re Luke, my husband, the Beta of the Silvermoon Pack, and we’re at the hospital,” Diana said, her tone steady but tired.Luke exhaled a sigh of relief. “Oh, you scared me. Lisa said you’d likely wake up with memory loss.”At the mention of Lisa’s name, Diana’s expression shifted, her eyes darkening with a flash of anger.“Where is that bitch?” she demanded, her voice suddenly stronger.“Evelyn? Huh! She
Evelyn ran desperately through the thick woods, the relentless storm belting her with raindrops. The deafening roar of thunder echoed through the trees, filling her with a primal fear that gripped her very soul.As she dashed through the dense forest, a tree suddenly loomed in her path, its outstretched branch tearing through her clothing. Ignoring the searing pain, she pressed forward, knowing her relentless pursuers were hot on her trail and she had no time to spare.Evelyn had witnessed her pack's destruction at the hands of the werewolf hunters leaving her with a sense of loss and helplessness. The ruthless human organization was on a mission to eradicate all werewolves, systematically targeting and destroying packs one by one, leaving death and devastation in their wake.Evelyn had managed to escape from her Pack, but a few of the hunters saw her and gave her a hot chase into the woods.“There,” She heard one of them calling out.She had been spotted, and the hunters raced toward
Grayson stormed into his room, slamming the door behind him in frustration.“Women!” He muttered to himself as he clenched his fist.He remembered how deeply his father had loved his mother, only for her to betray him by running away with her lover, leaving behind him and Diana.His father whom he had always seen as a strong wolf was left shattered, unable to bear the scorn from the Pack after being abandoned by his mate as an Alpha, he tragically took his own life because the pain became too much for him.These memories lingered vividly in Grayson's thoughts. Grayson had succeeded his father and had grown to become like him, fearless and powerful. He had earned his Pack's respect by conquering all the rival packs who posed a threat to them, making his fame spread wide in the West region as the most revered and respectable Alpha.Grayson was determined not to jeopardize everything he had achieved by falling in love with a woman. He had closed off his heart to them and viewed them sim
“What?!” Diana's eyes widened as conflicting emotions stirred within her. On one hand, she felt joy that her brother would finally have a pup, but on the other hand, she feared he might reject Lisa and the pup.Diana quickly opened the door to her office and ushered Lisa inside. She scanned the corridor to ensure that no one was within earshot of their conversation. She closed the door when she was sure no one was there and made Lisa sit in a chair, she sat in front of her.“Are you sure of what you are saying, Lisa?” Diana asked.“I am Diana, why would I lie about something of this magnitude?” Lisa confirmed.Diana paced her office as she thought about the situation at hand. She looked at her friend and could see that she was so worried. Why would she not be? Grayson had discarded her and now she found himself carrying his pup. What if he rejects the pup too?Diana walked back to her friend, enveloping her in a comforting embrace, she solemnly said to her, “I swear by the Moon Godde
Evelyn stared at Alpha Grayson who had suddenly stopped in his tracks looking startled.She found herself captivated by the alluring blend of Sandalwood and blueberry musk emanating from him.A rush of emotion swept over her as she stared at the man who stood tall and proud, exuding an air of confidence and authority. His chiseled jawline, piercing gray eyes, and strong presence would command attention in any room. His broad shoulders and muscular build gave him an aura of power that seemed to radiate from within and made him stand out.“This must be the Alpha,” Evelyn mused to herself.Time seemed to slow down as the world around her faded away, leaving only her and this dangerously handsome Alpha locked in a silent exchange of emotions. At that moment, she felt a surge of adrenaline, a fluttering in her chest, and an overwhelming sense of warmth spreading through her body.Suddenly, a red line emerged from Grayson's wrist, causing him to groan out in frustration, "No, No!" The lin
Grayson headed directly to his office, and as he approached the entrance, he turned and firmly said to Beta Luke who was still following him, “I would like to be alone.” Beta Luke respectfully bowed and left Grayson to be alone. Diana tried to follow Grayson into the office, but he closed the door in her face and locked it from inside.Grayson vented his frustration by pounding his fist on the wall as soon as he entered his office. “'What is happening to me?” he thought. “Why did that girl affect me so deeply?”“She is our mate,” He heard Kyle saying to him.“I don't want a mate,” Grayson replied to his wolf but a heavy feeling settled in his heart as the words left his lips.His hands trembled, his heart pounded erratically, and sweat glistened on his forehead as fear consumed him. His worst nightmare was unfolding before his eyes and it appeared he had no control over it.“Damn the fucking bond” he cursed out.He wanted to kick her out of the pack to never see her again, but he
“How can someone from a different Pack suddenly be my brother's mate? What if this is all a deception? What if she intentionally came here to become his mate, and the bond was a ruse?” Diana expressed her concern with Lisa.“The mate bond did appear, Diana, there was no way she would come up with that,” Lisa stated.“What if she's using some kind of charm, Lisa? It just doesn't add up that a stranger is Grayson's mate," Diana questioned. “We have plenty of eligible and beautiful girls right here in the Silvermoon pack, so why would his mate come from a faraway pack?”“I trust that the moon goddess has her reasons for everything that happens. I believe that she is indeed Grayson's true mate. Perhaps the distance is why it took so long for Grayson to find his mate.” Lisa said.“For the first time in my life, I am happy Grayson rejected a girl. I couldn't bear to have her as my brother's wife and the Luna of Silvermoon,” Diana expressed.“Diana, please don't be so harsh. If they are tru
“Diana, can you hear me?” Beta Luke called out excitedly, leaning closer to her.“Luke,” Diana replied faintly, her eyes scanning the hospital room.“Oh, Diana! You scared the life out of me. I thought I was going to lose you,” Beta Luke said, his voice thick with emotion.“What happened?” Diana asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper.“You don’t remember what happened to you?” Luke asked, his brow furrowing in concern. “Diana, do you know who I am?”Diana sighed and closed her eyes briefly before reopening them, tears glistening in her gaze.“Of course, I know who you are.

“Alpha Grayson, do you copy? Alpha?” Beta Luke repeated over the link, but only silence greeted him.He sighed, frustration etched on his face, as his gaze fell on James' severed head resting inside a box at the southern border.“You didn’t see who left this here?” Luke asked, his sharp tone directed at the guards on duty.“No, sir,” they answered in unison, their heads lowered.“How could you not see something like this? What’s the point of standing guard here if you can’t even catch this? What if the person who left it had tried to breach the pack? What then?” Luke’s voice was a mix of anger and disappointment.The head guard stepped forward, bowing slightly. “We apologize, sir. We’ve been vigilant, I assure you. We spotted the box within two minutes of it being dropped, but we couldn’t see who left it. We’ll be more watchful from now on.”“That’s not good enough!” Luke yelled. “You’re here to protect this pack, and that means no slip-ups. You need to know what you’re doing—be more
"James escaped from Silvermoon disguised as a pregnant woman and even killed a guard who grew suspicious and followed him into the forest," Luke reported to Grayson, who sat in his room with a grim expression."He’s likely gone to the hunters. Don’t worry, we’ll catch up with him," Grayson replied calmly."We managed to drive the hunters back today because there weren’t many, and we caught them off guard. But they’ll regroup, and we need to be ready for them," Luke warned."We will be. Start training the guards and tighten our security. If our numbers aren’t enough, recruit more from the pack. Find able-bodied men and women, train them, and fortify our defenses. We cannot allow those hunters to gain access to Silvermoon," Grayson instructed firmly."I’ll get on it immediately. One more thing—" Luke hesitated before continuing, "I think I saw Evelyn this evening, but I’m not certain."Grayson’s jaw tightened as he looked up sharply. "Why are you telling me this?" he snapped."Shouldn’t
Frank dragged Evelyn outside to where Jerry and James were.Evelyn gave Jerry a menacing glare, realizing he had been the traitor working against Grayson all this while."What kind of relationship does this man have with Grayson?" Jerry asked, his voice firm."I don't understand," Evelyn replied, puzzled by the question.Jerry let out an impatient sigh as he got up from where he was seated and approached Evelyn."Are you deaf? I am asking you to tell me if this bastard is truly an enemy of Grayson or not," Jerry said, shouting into Evelyn's ear."Oh," Evelyn said, finally understanding why she had been summoned. She glanced at James, studying his body language.Evelyn let out a soft chuckle, surprising both Jerry and James."Am I a joke to you?" Jerry asked, narrowing his eyes."No, but I think James here has made a fool of you," Evelyn said."How?" Jerry demanded."I think he’s played a fast one on you, and you fell for it," Evelyn continued."What on earth are you talking about?" Je
“How much further do we need to go, ma’am? I thought you said the herbs were by the roadside,” the guard asked, his voice faltering slightly as James led him deeper into the forest.James didn’t respond, instead, he quickened his pace, his mind fixated on the plan ahead.“Ma’am, stop right there. You’re walking too fast,” the guard called out, his unease growing with each step.James stopped in his tracks and swiftly discarded the layers of clothing that disguised him. He turned around to face the guard, exposing his true identity to him.The guard staggered back in shock, his eyes widening as he recognized who stood before him.Before the guard could react, James shifted into his wolf form, his muscles expanding and fur bristling with power. He was faster than the guard could anticipate, as he lunged towards him. In moments, the guard was torn apart, his screams swallowed by the forest.James shifted back to his human form. He scanned the surroundings, ensuring no one had seen the
James slipped out of the hospital and pulled a dark cloak over his head. His footsteps echoed faintly on the cobblestone path as he kept to the shadows, his mind occupied with how he was going to escape from Silvermoon."Where do I go now?" he muttered under his breath. He clutched his cloak tighter, glancing around the quiet streets. He decided to return to his home, gather what little he could, and flee alongside Demas and Gaius.As he neared his house, he froze, heart pounding. From the alleyway, he saw Beta Luke standing near the entrance with a group of armed guards. Their torches lit the area, and James watched as two guards dragged Demas out of the house.“Where is James?” Beta Luke demanded, his voice cold. “You can make this easier on yourself if you tell us where he’s hiding.”Demas stammered, his face pale. “I-I don’t know! He didn’t tell me anything, I swear!”“Lies!” Beta Luke yelled, grabbing Demas by the collar. “You have been planning treason against the Alpha alongsi
"What is happening, James? I just saw Grayson and some guards at the eastern border, heavily armed!" Demas cried out, panic written all over his face.James froze. "Heavily armed? What are you talking about? The guards were supposed to be caught off-guard, and Grayson should be incapacitated by now! How is he at the borders, heavily armed?" Fear flickered in his eyes as his mind raced."You told me to keep watch at the borders and alert you when the hunters arrived, but that’s what I saw. Grayson and his guards are ready for a fight," Demas reported.Before James could respond, Gaius burst into the room, panting heavily. His face was pale, and his clothes were slightly disheveled."Are you alright? What’s happening at the southern border?" James asked, his voice trembling with anticipation."Guards... guards everywhere!" Gaius stuttered between gasps for breath. "They’re well-prepared. It’s like they knew the hunters were coming tonight. We’ve been compromised!"James slammed his fist
The night was thick with the scent of pine and damp earth as Beta Luke crouched low behind a cluster of ferns. His sharp ears caught the faint sound of crunching leaves—hunters on the move. His eyes darted to the warriors flanking him, their expressions grim and resolute. The moonlight gleamed off the silver weapons they carried, ready to defend their pack at all costs.“Everyone ready?” Beta Luke whispered, his voice low but firm.“Yes, Beta,” came the hushed replies.“We strike first. Catch them off-guard and ensure they don’t make it near Silvermoon territory. No mistakes,” Luke instructed, his eyes scanning the forest ahead.Just then, one of the scouts returned, panting. “They’re about half a mile out, sir. They’re moving in formation, heavily armed.”Luke nodded. “Perfect. We’ll split into two groups. Jackson, take your team and circle to flank them from the east. Everyone else, with me. We hit them head-on. Move quickly and silently.”The hunters, unaware of the ambush await
