“Lisa. Oh my goodness, what do I do?” Evelyn said, panicking as she checked if Lisa was still breathing.The door to the house opened and Lisa looked up to check who it was and saw Diana come in.“Diana, thank Goodness. Lisa was eating and just suddenly passed out. I didn't know what went wrong?” Evelyn said.Diana squatted down beside Lisa, checking her pulse to see if she was still breathing.She found out she was and mind linked her husband.“Please come to Lisa's house, I need your help,” Diana said.“Alright. I am on my way,” Beta Luke said.“What did she eat?” Diana asked.“Pancakes,” Evelyn replied.“What happened?” Beta Luke asked as he saw Lisa lying unconsciously on the floor.“I don't know yet but from these rashes on her body. I think she is having an allergic reaction. Let's get her to the hospital,” Diana said.“Okay,” Beta Luke lifted Lisa from the floor and they made their way to the hospital.Diana swiftly put her on the bed and examined her, confirming it was indeed
“You need to be careful of Lisa. I am sensing a bad energy from her,” Viola warned.“Lisa? No, I think you mean Diana,” Evelyn said.“I mean Lisa. The one who is accommodating us in her house at the moment,” Viola clarified.“I am confused. Why will you be sensing a bad energy from her? She is a good person, she is nice to us,” Evelyn argued.“I just want you to be careful, that is what I sense from her,” Viola said.“Viola, you are jealous because she slept with your mate before you could get the chance to,” Evelyn said, laughing at Viola.“No, that is not it. I don't just know why I am getting this dark energy from her,” Viola insisted.“Alright, alright, I will be careful,” Evelyn said.***“Welcome back,” Evelyn said to Lisa as she came back from the hospital“Thank you. I am so sorry for putting you into trouble, I'll be more careful next time,” Lisa said with a smile.“It is fine. I am just glad you are okay,” Evelyn said.“Yes. I am glad it didn't affect my pup,” Lisa said, rub
“You asked to see me, Alpha,” Evelyn said as she entered Grayson's office.“The hunters have struck again,” Alpha Grayson said.“Which pack did they attack this time?” Evelyn asked, her stomach churning at the memories of the horrific ordeal her pack went through at the hands of the hunters.“Greenfield Pack,” Grayson said.“Oh my goodness! That Pack shares a border with ours,” Evelyn exclaimed as she covered her mouth with her hands.“I know. I think they are currently in that area, my source tells me that,” Grayson said.“Let us go there right now before they wipe all the packs in that area, please,” Evelyn pleaded.“Not so fast, I've sent a spy to that area to map it out first. You don't go to a battlefield without having an idea of what you are going to meet. We have to know how they operate, their strengths and weaknesses. That will help us to prepare how we can attack them,” Grayson explained.“Wise words,” Viola complimented.“I don't know why they are doing this. What do they
“I tried to reject it but he insisted,” Evelyn explained to Lisa.A pinched expression formed on Lisa's face as she stared at Evelyn with jealousy.“I told you their bond is a strong one, Grayson might have started falling for her without him knowing it,” Missy said, letting out a slight growl.“Lisa, you are not saying anything,” Evelyn said to Lisa, gently tapping her on the leg.“That is great. I don't understand why you are worried or trying to reject it. This will make you get closer to Grayson, you need to impress him,” Lisa said.“That is the problem. I don't know what he likes or dislikes. I don't know the activities the pack members would love,” Evelyn lamented.“That's simple, you just need to find out, that's all,” Lisa said.“Will you help me? Please,” Evelyn pleaded.“I am sorry. I will not be able to. I get easily tired these days,” Lisa said.Evelyn sighed, a sad look on her face, “I understand, It was selfish of me to ask you.”“No, please don't say that. I can give yo
“Why? What is wrong with it?” Evelyn asked with a puzzled expression.Alpha Grayson muttered a curse under his breath and stormed out of the square in anger.“Hyacinth and Peony are flowers Grayson hates the most in his life. How could you not ask before you used it?” Diana said, shaking her head.“What? Lisa asked me to use these flowers, she said Grayson loved them,” Evelyn said, in bewilderment.“Lisa told you that?” Beta Luke asked in surprise.“I swear on my dead parents' grave,” Evelyn said.“Stop lying! Lisa would never tell you that. She knows Grayson hates these flowers because their scents remind him of our mother. Hyacinth and Peony is our mother's scent,” Diana bitterly expressed.“Oh, Lisa is here. You can ask her,” Evelyn said as she saw Lisa entering the square.“What's happening? Is everything alright?” Lisa asked.“Lisa, why did you tell me to use Hyacinth and Peony when you knew Grayson hated those flowers?” Evelyn asked Lisa.“What? I never asked you to use these fl
Alpha Grayson gently released Evelyn from his arms, the pack members who were around them whispered amongst themselves, awestruck by the scene unfolding before them. "Thank you, Alpha Grayson," Evelyn murmured, feeling her cheeks burn in embarrassment.“Where were you rushing off to? Trying to avoid me?” Alpha Grayson whispered in Evelyn's ear.“No, I was not, I just wanted to…erm..to…” Evelyn stuttered.“You wanted to do what?” Grayson asked.“The pack members are watching us,” Evelyn said.“Walk with me,” Grayson said, clearing his throat.Evelyn rolled her eyes, dragging her feet to follow Alpha Grayson as he started walking.“I am sorry about what happened the other time. I didn't know what those flowers meant to you,” Evelyn apologized.“I should be the one apologizing,” Grayson said.“Why?” Evelyn asked, taken aback by Grayson's words.“You are new in the pack, you don't know what I like and dislike. I shouldn't have reacted that way,” Grayson said.“No, I understand. It must h
Evelyn entered the house and was surprised to see the whole house disorganized. “Lisa,” She called out, a little bit scared. She gently tried to find her way around the broken objects on the floor. She was mindful of her steps as she walked towards the room to check on Lisa. Suddenly, Lisa appeared before her in a disheveled state, her clothes torn and her hair untidy. She launched an attack on Evelyn with her claws, scratching and drawing out blood from her arm. “Ouch,” Evelyn cried out in pain and quickly backed away from Lisa. “What was that for, Lisa?” Evelyn asked, in shock. "Grayson is mine, Grayson is mine," Lisa whispered under her breath as she advanced menacingly towards Evelyn, aiming to strike her across the face. Evelyn dodged the attack, sending Lisa flying in the air and landing on the floor with a thud. “My goodness, Lisa, do not injure yourself. Think about your pup, What is happening to you?” Evelyn cried out. Lisa stood up letting out a maliciou
Evelyn slowly parted her eyelids as the dawn's light illuminated her face.She had spent the night at the square after she had run away from Lisa.Her mind flashed back to the events of the previous day, Grayson's warning and Lisa's attack on her.She sat up and noticed her cloth was rumpled. She needed to take a warm bath and change her clothes before the start of activities for the day. She could not afford the pack members to see her in a disheveled state.However, she was at a total loss on what to do, she could not go back to Lisa's house to change her clothes and she had no other place to go to.“Should I go to Grayson?” She thought in her heart.“You might run into Diana and you would not want to start explaining what had happened, she will not believe you,” Viola chipped in.“What should I do? It is a big day, I cannot appear like this before the pack members,” Evelyn sadly said.“Stand up,” Viola said.“Why?” Evelyn asked.“Just do as I say,” Viola insisted.“Alright,” Evely
“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
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
“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
