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 towards her as she reached a cliff. Evelyn staggered backward, feeling lost and unsure of what to do next. Her pursuers were now behind her, closing in.
“Ah ah, what do you want to do now,” One of the hunters called out to her mockingly.
“You should have died peacefully with the rest of your Pack. Now I am going to give you the most painful torture you could ever think of and make you beg for death,” The lead hunter threatened as he made a move toward her.
Evelyn was an alpha wolf, she was the daughter of her pack's alpha so she possessed a strong wolf and could fight. Her father had sacrificed his life for her so she could escape and she was not going to let his efforts be in vain.
Evelyn cautiously moved backward, lightning struck and illuminated a large stone nearby. Acting swiftly, she grabbed the heavy stone and hurled it at the approaching hunter. Thanks to her wolf abilities, she was able to lift the weighty stone effortlessly.
The stone struck the hunter's head, shattering his face as he stumbled back and collapsed to the ground.
The rest of the hunters rushed at Evelyn but before they could reach her, she jumped off the cliff.

“Grayson my ears are filled with different rumors about you in the pack,” Diana said to her brother, as they were having their breakfast.
"What rumors this time? That I'm the most dashing Alpha in the world," Grayson responded with a grin, looking at his younger sister.
“I am serious, Grayson, you are 35, you haven't found a fated mate to become your Luna yet, and you have not chosen one from the numerous girls you sleep with. The wolves are starting to say you are cursed,” Diana expressed in concern.
Grayson smirked at Diana's words but remained silent, focusing on his meal without saying a word.
“You need to choose a mate, Grayson, you cannot be mateless forever. You are the Alpha of this Pack and the Pack needs a Luna,” Diana cried out.
Alpha Grayson sighed as he stared coldly at his sister. He dropped the spoon in his hand and made a conscious effort to remain calm as his anger was rising. He didn't want a Luna, he was never going to have a Luna.
“We have had this discussion several times, Diana. I am surprised you are still bothering me about this topic. I am never going to have a Luna and maybe the Moon Goddess respects my decision and that is why she has not given me a mate” Grayson lashed out.
“Grayson, you cannot hold on to….,” Diana started saying before she was interrupted by her brother.
“Enough,” Grayson screamed, “I don't want to hear one more word about this. I don't want a Luna, or a fated mate, or a Chosen mate and my decision is final,” Grayson said, boiling in anger at her sister's persistence on the topic.
He tossed away his plate and stormed out of the dining room in anger.
Diana watched her brother leave and couldn't help but feel pity for him. He had been deeply affected by their mother's betrayal towards their father years ago which had led to their father's death and Grayson assuming the throne at an early age.
Their mother's betrayal had hardened his heart towards women, making him vow never to allow himself to love a woman or to let one get close enough, determined to shield himself from experiencing the same fate that had befallen their father.
He saw women as mere objects of pleasure, with little to no respect for them. Diana had hoped that everything would change once he found his fated mate, believing that the bond between mates could help in healing his emotional wounds. However, luck had not been on Grayson's side as he was yet to encounter his fated mate.
Diana had tried to help her brother countless times by setting up some of her good friends for him, hoping he would find one his heart would connect with. But once he sleeps with them, he discards them.
Did the Moon Goddess really plan on making my brother mateless for life? Diana said to herself.
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, she can't leave without Grayson's consent,” Lisa cried out.“Who says she can't? I am sure Grayson doesn't want to see her again,” Diana retorted.Lisa let out a sigh and gently pulled Diana outside.“Why are you acting this way, Diana? I know you as a kind and caring person. Why are you treating a stranger seeking asylum with disdain? Please, stop,” Lisa exclaimed.“I am doing this for you and my niece or nephew in your stomach. Grayson wouldn't mind her being gone, you saw him storm out of here earlier,” Diana stated.“Let it not be your call, let it be his, please,” Lisa pleaded.“Whatever, I have other things to do right now, are you coming with me?” Diana asked, avoiding any further discussion about Evelyn.“No, I'll stay here with Evelyn," Lisa declared."Suit yourself,” Diana replied before departing.“Hey, Lisa said to Evelyn as she walked back into the room.“Hi, I will take my leave now. Can you point me in the direction of the Pack's border?” Evelyn inquired.“Where
“Oh my goodness! Are you alright?” Evelyn gasped as she entered the kitchen and noticed Lisa's injured hand.“Oh, this? I accidentally cut myself,” Lisa explained, taken aback by Evelyn's sudden appearance in the kitchen.“Aw, poor you! You should be more careful,” Evelyn said sympathetically as she moved closer to Lisa to examine the wound.Lisa recoiled slightly, not wanting Evelyn to catch sight of the wound since it wasn't caused by a knife."No need to worry, I'm a wolf. It'll heal in no time," Lisa reassured.“Okay…” Evelyn responded, surprised by Lisa's sudden behavior.“What can I help you with?” Evelyn asked, offering to assist Lisa.“Do not bother yourself, please. Just relax, I'll take care of everything here,” Lisa responded warmly.“I hope you are not thinking I don't know how to cook because I used to be an Alpha's daughter,” Evelyn said jokingly."Oh no, not at all. You're my guest, so it's my pleasure to cook for you," Lisa replied graciously.“Alright, if you insist,”
“I came to tell you I am leaving and to thank you for your hospitality,” Evelyn said before turning to walk away with her heart broken by Grayson's attitude."Stop right there. What did you just say to me? Who did you say is pregnant with my child?" Alpha Grayson asked in bewilderment."Evelyn stopped and turned back to give Grayson a response, “Are you trying to act like you don't know? Your sister told me to leave because you have a chosen mate who is expecting your pup.”“Diana said that?” Grayson asked, puzzled by her sister's actions. She should have been the one convincing Evelyn to stay, not telling her to leave.Evelyn shook her head, puzzled by Grayson's apparent ignorance of the situation. She couldn't shake off the feeling that this was another attempt to humiliate her, so she made up her mind to leave.“Lisa, please show me to the main road. I am ready to leave now. I wished I had listened to you,” Evelyn said.“Alright,” Lisa, taken aback by Evelyn's abrupt outburst, resp
