“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
“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
Beta Luke rushed into the hospital room, his heart pounding. The room was in complete disarray—chairs overturned, a shattered vase on the floor—but no sign of an intruder. His sharp eyes scanned the area before he spotted Diana in the inner room, tucked safely behind the locked door.“Lisa must’ve moved her,” he muttered, though unease churned in his gut. Something didn’t feel right.Moments later, Lisa burst into the room, her face pale and her eyes wide with apparent fear.Luke crossed his arms and fixed her with a hard stare. “What happened? How did the intruder get in here, and what does he look like?”Lisa hesitated just enough to make her story up. “I—I don’t know exactly. My instincts told me there was danger, so I quickly pushed Diana into the inner room and locked her in. Then this... massive man, with broad shoulders, stormed in and attacked me. I was too scared to initiate a link to alert you because of what happened to me the last time, so I ran to find you.”Luke’s jaw t
Evelyn crouched low, her piercing eyes tracking the small rabbit darting through the underbrush. Her wolf, Viola, growled softly in her mind.“Faster, Evelyn. That rabbit isn’t going to wait for us,” Viola urged.“I’ve got this,” Evelyn muttered under her breath, tightening her grip on the makeshift spear she had carved from a sturdy branch.The rabbit paused, ears twitching, and in that split second, Evelyn sprang forward and threw the spear at the rabbit, the spear landing squarely. The rabbit collapsed instantly. Evelyn exhaled deeply, a mixture of relief and guilt flooding her chest.“It’s survival,” Viola reminded her, her voice firm but gentle.Evelyn nodded. “I know.”She carried her catch back to the small clearing where a modest fire crackled. Working swiftly, she skinned the rabbit and skewered the meat over the flames. The rich aroma of roasting meat filled the air, and her stomach growled in anticipation.As she ate, she felt the strength returning to her body. Each bite
“Leave me alone! No, let me go!” Evelyn screamed, her voice echoing through the forest as she thrashed against the hunters’ grip.Two of them grabbed her arms, trying to pin her down, but she fought with everything she had. With a burst of strength, she drove her knee into one hunter’s stomach, sending him sprawling to the ground with a groan.“Viola, help me!” Evelyn cried out internally, desperation lacing her voice as she felt their hands tighten around her.Her wolf responded fiercely. “I’m here! Don’t give up!”“Hold her down!” one of the hunters shouted, struggling to keep his grip as Evelyn twisted and kicked.“She’s stronger than she looks!” another hunter grunted, trying to force her into submission.“What are you idiots doing?” Jerry’s voice rang out, sharp and furious. He stood a few paces away, watching the chaos unfold. “Do not tell me you can’t handle one young girl!”“She’s trying to shift!” one of the hunters yelled, panic seeping into his tone.Jerry’s face contorted
"That is not possible! The last Alpha we used the poison on lost his wolf completely. How is Grayson's case different?" Jerry snapped, his voice filled with frustration."Grayson is stronger than you think," James replied, his tone calm but firm. "But we still have the upper hand. He’s not himself right now—he’s drowning in alcohol because of the heartbreak. Wolf or not, he’s vulnerable. If we act quickly, we can fight him and take him down."Jerry paced back and forth, considering James’s words. "Everything is already in place," he finally said. "We’ll proceed with the attack. Your role is crucial—ensure Grayson and those loyal to him fall. Only then will I spare Silvermoon and make you its Alpha.""I’ll do whatever it takes," James vowed, his eyes gleaming with determination. "If you want me to drive a knife through Grayson’s heart, I’ll do it without hesitation.""Good," Jerry said, nodding with approval. "By the way, Evelyn has been captured.""What’s the plan for her?" James aske
“Where are you taking that food?” Lisa asked, eyeing the servant carrying a tray toward the Alpha’s quarters.“Beta Luke instructed me to deliver it to Alpha Grayson,” the servant replied nervously, her hands trembling slightly under Lisa’s piercing gaze.“Oh, I’m heading there now. Hand it over, and I’ll take it to him,” Lisa said, her tone firm and commanding.The servant hesitated, her eyes darting between Lisa and the tray as she contemplated whether to comply.“Didn’t you hear me?” Lisa snapped, her voice growing impatient. Without waiting for a response, she snatched the tray from the servant’s hands.“Get back to your quarters now,” Lisa ordered, glaring at the servant. The young girl nodded hastily and scurried away without a word.A crooked smile spread across Lisa’s face as she looked down at the tray. “Let’s make sure you enjoy this meal, Grayson.”She entered the Alpha’s quarters, moving quickly and silently. From her pocket, she pulled out a small vial containing a liquid
Grayson woke up on the cold, hard floor of his living room, his body aching and a strange soreness in his groin. His gaze fell to the floor, where traces of his semen were littered around. "Lisa!" he roared, clenching his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white.Just as he pushed himself to his feet, the door opened, and Beta Luke stepped inside, his eyes widening in shock at the sight of Grayson, disheveled and naked.“What’s going on here? Why are you like this?” Luke asked, his voice laced with concern and confusion.Grayson growled, reaching for a nearby robe to cover himself. “Lisa. She… she took advantage of me again.”Luke’s expression turned skeptical, his brows furrowing. “Grayson, I don’t mean to question you, but… Lisa hasn’t been here today.”Grayson whipped around, glaring at him. “What are you talking about? I’m telling you, she did this!”Luke’s jaw tightened as he chose his words carefully. “Look, Grayson, you’ve been drinking heavily. I’m your Beta, and I’m sayin
The day finally came and the Silvermoon Pack's square was transformed into a magnificent wedding venue, adorned with flowers of every shade. White roses and lavender scattered through the air, their sweet scent mingling with the fresh breeze. The pack gathered around, their faces glowing with excitement as they eagerly awaited the ceremony.Evelyn stood at the front, her delicate frame wrapped in an elegant white gown, her hair styled in loose waves, a subtle crown of silver roses perched atop her head. Beside her stood Tara, her best friend, radiant in a pale lavender dress, and Diana, who was equally stunning as Tara.Both women smiled proudly at Evelyn, their eyes brimming with joy and support.Across from them, Grayson stood tall in his dark suit, his gaze locked on Evelyn. His heart pounded with every beat, and every fiber of his being screamed that this was right. At his side stood Beta Luke, his best man, looking at him with pride.Elder Bernard stood before the couple, rea
The pack members trooped out in their numbers to welcome Evelyn back to the pack.Grayson stood beside Evelyn, his arm gently resting around her waist, guiding her forward. The moment they reached the center of the gathering, cheers erupted from the pack. Faces that had once been filled with uncertainty and hesitation now glowed with excitement and admiration.“Tara!” Evelyn called out, her voice bright with joy as she spotted her friend among the crowd. Tara rushed over, her arms wide open, and they embraced each other tightly.“I can’t believe you’re back!” Tara exclaimed, pulling away slightly to look Evelyn over, her eyes welling with tears. “We missed you so much.”Evelyn smiled, squeezing Tara’s hands. “I missed you too, Tara. It feels good to be home.”“I'm glad the truth finally came out, Evelyn. I knew there was no way you would do what you were accused of,” Tara said.“Thank you, Tara. Thank you for believing in me,” Evelyn said, smiling as she hugged her friend again.Ta
The night stretched on as Grayson, Nix, and Luke kept their vigil by the burnt remains of Jerry’s car. The fire had long since dwindled, leaving only smoldering embers and charred metal. None of them spoke much, the weight of the night’s events keeping them silent.As the first rays of dawn broke through the trees, Grayson exhaled deeply, his sharp gaze still fixed on the wreckage. “It’s over,” he said quietly, his voice laced with finality. “Jerry’s gone.”Nix stretched his arms, yawning. “I’ll admit, I didn’t think the bastard would ever meet his end. But seeing this… yeah, he’s not crawling out of that one.”Luke grinned, patting Grayson on the back. “Well done, Alpha. That was one hell of a chase. I’ll never doubt your driving skills again.”Grayson smirked, finally stepping away from the ashes. “Let’s get back. We’ve been out here long enough.”They walked back to the car, the adrenaline of the night fading into exhaustion. Grayson slid into the driver’s seat, Nix and Luke ho
The roar of an engine pierced through the forest as Jerry sped down the dirt path, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. His eyes darted to the rearview mirror, scanning the darkness for any signs of pursuit.The night was thick, cloaked in shadows, and the dim headlights of his car barely illuminated the uneven forest trail. His pulse raced. He thought he had escaped until the unmistakable hum of another engine reached his ears, faint but growing louder.“Damn it,” Jerry cursed under his breath, glancing at the mirror again.The faint gleam of headlights in the distance confirmed his fears. “Can this bastard drive?” He muttered to himself.He slammed his foot on the accelerator, the car jerking forward as it sped along the rugged path.In the car behind, Grayson’s hands were steady on the wheel, his sharp eyes cutting through the night like a predator stalking its prey. The trees blurred past as he maneuvered skillfully, avoiding rocks and low-hanging branches with ease.
The chaotic roar of flames engulfed the camp as the hunters, determined to hold their ground, lit the perimeter on fire. Thick, choking smoke billowed into the air, a fiery orange glow illuminating the battlefield.Jerry barked orders amidst the chaos, his voice cold and commanding. “Hold the line! Don’t let the wolves take us down easily!”“We can’t let them escape!” Luke shouted, his voice cutting through the noise as he and his men charged forward.Hunters fired their weapons wildly, the sound of gunfire mingling with the guttural growls of wolves mid-shift. Nix’s warriors flanked the hunters, their speed and strength overpowering the disorganized defenses.In the chaos, Jerry’s sharp eyes caught sight of his car parked near the edge of the camp, half-hidden in the shadows of the surrounding trees. The faint glow of flames flickered against the vehicle's surface, and he clenched his jaw tightly, determination flashing in his gaze.“Time to live and fight another day,” he muttere
Shadows danced beneath the canopy as the afternoon sun slowly began its descent. Beta Luke led the group, his sharp eyes scanning the ground for any sign of movement or disturbance.Alpha Nix followed closely, his keen senses on high alert, with their men fanned out behind them.“Anything yet?” Nix asked, his voice steady but laced with urgency.“Not a damn thing,” one of the guards replied, frustration evident in his tone. “It’s like they vanished into thin air.”“They didn’t vanish,” Luke said sharply, crouching to inspect a patch of broken twigs. “They’re just good at covering their tracks. Keep looking. They can’t have gotten far.”Another guard called out from a few meters away. “Beta, over here! I think I’ve found something.”Luke and Nix moved quickly to the source of the voice. The guard was pointing to a faint trail of flattened grass leading deeper into the woods.“Looks like a footpath,” Luke muttered, crouching to get a closer look. He ran his fingers along the trampled g
“What? How did that happen?” Jerry snapped, his eyes flashing with rage as he shoved Evelyn away from him.“The other Alphas in the region… they came to Silvermoon’s aid,” the hunter stammered, his voice trembling. “We were outnumbered. I pretended to be dead so I could escape and bring the news to you.”Jerry’s eyes widened in disbelief. “So Frank is dead?” His voice was low, filled with a mix of shock and anger.“Yes, boss,” the hunter replied, his head bowing in submission.Jerry let out an unhinged scream, his rage vibrating through the camp like an earthquake. The remaining hunters—about ten of them—huddled close, their faces a mix of fear and uncertainty.“What do we do now, boss?” one of the hunters asked, voice shaky.Jerry’s eyes burned with fury. “Tie this bitch back to the tree,” he growled, pointing at Evelyn. “And get the cars ready. We’re leaving for the human world. We’ll reorganize and gather more reinforcements.”The hunters immediately obeyed, quickly moving to secu
“You sick bastard! Why did you have to kill him? He was your ally for years, and yet you killed him like an animal. You’re nothing but a monster!” Evelyn screamed, her voice trembling with both anger and disbelief. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she stared at the man who had taken so much from them.Jerry’s lips twisted into a cruel smirk. “Yes, I am a monster. Did you just figure that out?” With a sudden movement, he sprang to his feet and struck the side of Evelyn’s head with the barrel of his gun.Blood dripped from the spot where the gun had connected, but her glare remained defiant.Grayson’s body shook with rage. He clenched his teeth so hard they might have cracked, his eyes burning with fury. He struggled against the chains that kept him bound, but the metal dug into his flesh, searing his skin with every futile pull. His growls rumbled from deep within his chest, a primal sound filled with raw frustration.“Let her go,” Grayson snarled through clenched teeth, his
Jaxon returned to the camp with his men, as promised. His eyes narrowed when he saw Jerry standing over Grayson, taunting him with a malicious smile.“How have the mighty fallen?” Jerry sneered, his voice dripping with venom. “I lured you away from your pack, the very pack you fought so hard to protect. And now, I’m about to ruin it—destroy everything you’ve struggled to hold together. After that, I’ll kill you.”Grayson met his gaze with unwavering defiance. “You can never ruin Silvermoon. This pack is stronger than you realize. It doesn’t matter if I’m here or not. I have warriors who will die to keep Silvermoon safe.”Jerry laughed, a harsh, cruel sound that echoed through the camp. “We shall see about that, won’t we? I want to see the look on your face when you hear the news of your pack’s defeat. Let’s see if you still keep that same pride when you know it’s all gone.”“I’ll be free from these chains soon,” Grayson growled through clenched teeth. “And when I do, Jerry, I will kil
