Evelyn stood In front of Grayson's office, staring down at Gilbert's lifeless body lying on the cold floor. Her brows furrowed with concern, and her voice came out sharp and urgent. “How did he gain access to the pack?”Grayson crossed his arms over his broad chest, his face shadowed with frustration. “He forced his way in,” he said curtly.Evelyn’s eyes narrowed as she studied the body again. “He forced his way in and then went into hiding? Something doesn’t seem right.”“Exactly why I wanted him alive,” Grayson muttered, his jaw tightening. “But then he killed himself before I could find out what his mission was.”Evelyn straightened, her voice tinged with suspicion. “What if he had come to see someone in the pack?”Grayson’s expression darkened. “Someone was definitely helping him. There’s no way he could’ve known about the dungeon, let alone how to escape through it. He had help.”Evelyn gasped softly. “Oh my goodness, like a traitor within the pack?”Grayson nodded grimly. “Proba
James let out a sigh of relief as he arrived at the borders of the Shadow Pack after a day's journey. "Who are you, and what brings you to Shadow Pack?" a stern-looking guard called out, blocking James's path."I am here to see Alpha Jaxon," James replied firmly.The guard's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized James from head to toe. "Who are you, and what business do you have with our Alpha?"James clenched his fists, suppressing his frustration. "I’m here on an important matter from another pack. I cannot reveal my identity to you for security reasons. Just tell your Alpha that someone has come with information regarding the mission he sent Gilbert on."The mention of Gilbert struck a chord as the guard's posture stiffened. "Beta Gilbert? How do you know him?" He asked.James's patience wore thin. "Listen, young man, you’re wasting valuable time. Send word to your Alpha and let him decide if he’s interested in meeting me or not."The guard hesitated, then stepped away to communicate w
Alpha Jaxon sent a message to Jerry, detailing what had transpired and explaining James' demand for a meeting. The next day, Jerry arrived at the Shadow Pack's territory, his dark presence commanding attention as he stepped out of his vehicle.James waited in the pack’s meeting hall, his heartbeat steady despite knowing he was about to face one of the most dangerous men in the hunters' organization. When Jerry entered, his piercing gaze swept over James, assessing him with a mix of arrogance and suspicion.“Why did you insist on seeing me?” Jerry asked coldly, his lips curling into a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes. His tone was dismissive, as though James wasn’t worth his time.James met his gaze squarely. “I have information about Grayson—everything you need to know—but I want something in return.”Jerry crossed his arms and leaned back slightly, his posture radiating both disdain and curiosity. “What do you want in return?” he scoffed, his voice dripping with condescension.Jam
"His father killed my father," Jerry growled, his voice trembling with rage. "But today is not the day to dive into that story."His pacing quickened, each step echoing through the hall as fury radiated from him.Abruptly, Jerry stopped and turned to James, his dark eyes glinting with malice. "Tell me, what is Grayson's weakness? How can I make him suffer the way his father made me suffer?"James hesitated briefly, gauging Jerry’s volatile mood. Then he spoke, his tone measured. "Grayson’s strength lies in his wolf and the Alpha bloodline. If you want to defeat him, you must prevent him from shifting. In human form, he can be easily defeated but as a wolf, he’s another being entirely—feral, deadly, and nearly unstoppable. He heals rapidly in wolf form, making him impossible to kill through conventional means."Jerry’s jaw tightened as he absorbed the information. "So, to destroy him, I must trap him in his human form. That’s the key.""Exactly," James confirmed.Jerry resumed his paci
James returned to the Silvermoon Pack and was greeted with the sight of pack members pinning up posters with Gilbert’s face at strategic locations in the pack.“What's happening?” He asked one of the men pinning the poster.“Are you not in the pack? Alpha Grayson had sketched the face of the man who broke into the pack, he had sent out scouts to all neighboring packs to find out who he was and offered a great reward for anyone with information about him,” the man explained to James.“Oh! That's good,” James managed to say as he felt a cold chill running through his body.He hurried into his quarters, locking the door behind him.“They’re moving faster than I thought,” James muttered, running a hand through his hair. His mind raced. If Grayson found out Gilbert was from Shadow Pack, Jaxon’s pack would be annihilated before Jerry could even make his move.His thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. James wondered who it might be as he hurried to open the door.He heaved a si
“First we need to free the hunter in the cell, Jerry wants to use that to confirm my loyalty,” James revealed.“How do we go about that?” Lisa asked, her mind brooding with thoughts of what to do.“I'm thinking I should try and break into the prison at night, free him, and take him out of the pack,” James explained.“That will not work,” Lisa said firmly, shaking her head. “The security is very tight at the moment so that might not work. The risk is too high.”James sighed, leaning back in his chair. “I know. What do you suggest we do then? We need to move quickly. Jerry gave me just two days,”Lisa tapped her fingers on the table, thinking. “What if… we make it look like he’s dead?”James raised an eyebrow. “Fake his death?”“Yes,” Lisa said, a glint of excitement in her eyes. “If we stage his death inside the cell, his body will be moved away from the cell and most likely Grayson will move it to the hospital where it will be less guarded. I will wake him up there and we will have hi
Diana hesitated, torn between chasing the prisoner and tending to Lisa.Lisa winced in pain and gasped, “The prisoner is escaping, Diana. Go after him!”Diana shot her a sharp glare. “Go after him and leave you bleeding like this? Are you out of your mind?”She bolted out of the room but not to pursue the prisoner—instead, she rushed to grab medical supplies. Returning swiftly, she found Lisa still clutching her arm, blood soaking the makeshift cloth pressed against the wound."The wound is deep, Lisa," Diana muttered, her voice shaky. "It might take a while for you to heal even as a wolf. I need to clean it with iodine peroxide, stitch it, and bandage it to prevent infection. This is serious.”"Do whatever you need to do," Lisa groaned, tears streaming down her cheeks.Diana worked quickly, cleaning the wound despite Lisa’s pained cries. She stitched the gash, her hands steady, then wrapped it tightly in a sterile bandage. Finally, she helped Lisa onto a nearby bed.“Try to get some
"He is nowhere to be found," Beta Luke informed Grayson via the mind link, frustration and disappointment evident in his voice."I am sorry for disappointing you, Alpha," he quickly added.Grayson sighed, his frustration easing slightly."It's fine, Luke. It's not your fault. I'm sorry for how I acted earlier. I… I lost my composure for a moment," He apologized, inhaling deeply, his eyes briefly closing as if to steady himself."I'll send out guards to search the surrounding packs. He couldn’t have gone far," Beta Luke assured."Alright, Luke. Any news about the wolf that attacked us?" Grayson inquired, his tone softening."No, not yet. I’ll dispatch more scouts to widen the search," Beta Luke replied."Very well," Grayson said before ending the link.Evelyn walked in just as the conversation ended, a cup of black tea in her hand. "Any updates?" she asked, her gaze fixed on Grayson."No, none yet. There’s no trace of him anywhere," Grayson admitted, taking the cup she offered and sip
Alpha Jaxon arrived at the hunters' camp to see Jerry, who had summoned him.He saw Grayson and Evelyn as he walked by in the middle of the camp. He quickly hid his face and walked away from them.“I've finally caught Grayson,” Jerry boasted, laughing through his teeth.“Th…That's great,” Jaxon stuttered, feeling uneasy.“I've sent my hunters to Silvermoon to destroy it. Once I get the news about it falling into ruins, I'll kill Grayson and Evelyn. I need you to go over to Silvermoon and help my hunters,” Jerry said.Jaxon shifted uncomfortably in his spot as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.“Help…help them with what?” he asked, his hands trembling.“Help them conquer Silvermoon. Take your guards there. We will have a greater advantage if your kind assists us in fighting against them,” Jerry clarified.“I'm sorry, Jerry. I can't do that. I can't lead my men to fight against my kind. I will be seen as a traitor by other Alphas. They won't want to associate with me. They might e
The howls of wolves echoed through the forest, mingling with the clatter of approaching hunters.Beta Luke stood tall at the center of the defensive line, his voice booming with authority.“Hold the line! Protect our pack!” Luke ordered as the hunters surged forward, their weapons gleaming under the afternoon sun.The guards both in their wolf and human forms, fought fiercely, forming an unyielding line against the invading hunters. Their growls echoed through the forest, a symphony of defiance and rage.Silver bullets zipped through the air, forcing wolves to dodge or seek cover. Nets lined with silver-threaded ropes were cast, burning the wolves’ fur and skin on contact. Blades gleamed in the fading sunlight as the hunters struck relentlessly, aiming for vital points.The wolves fought back with raw power and instinct. They moved as a cohesive unit, their sharp claws slashing through armor and their fangs tearing into flesh. Blood sprayed into the air as wolves leaped, taking dow
“We searched deep into the woods, Beta, but we couldn’t find the Alpha,” one of the scouts who had gone to search for Grayson reported.“You said you saw his footprints and all—how is it that you couldn’t track him further?” Diana yelled, frustration evident in her voice.“The footprints led us to a dead end, a cliff, and there was no way to cross to the other side,” the scout explained.“Alright, it's fine. Thank you, you can go,” Luke said, dismissing the scouts.“What are we going to do? We need to find Grayson. We can’t leave him alone with the hunters; he could be in danger right now!” Diana exclaimed, her voice tinged with worry.“I’m so confused, Diana. A lot is happening at once,” Luke muttered, pacing the office. “I would have gone out to track him myself, but I can't leave the pack undefended. The hunters could attack us at any moment.”Diana slumped into a chair, burying her face in her hands. She thought about her brother and the dangerous situation he could be in.“Moon G
Grayson and Evelyn were tied to a tree, their necks bound by silver magic chains that suppressed their wolves and healing abilities.“Funny how you werewolves act like supreme beings, yet a little silver renders you powerless—tied to a tree like dogs,” Jerry sneered, circling them.“Let Evelyn go! You said your issue is with me, so face me!” Grayson growled, straining against the chains.Jerry smirked. “Where do you think you are, Grayson? This isn’t Silvermoon pack. You don’t get to make demands here.” He gestured toward his right-hand man. “Frank, teach him some manners.”Frank approached, holding a thorny whip, and lashed Grayson. Each strike tore into his flesh, blood staining his shirt. Grayson clenched his teeth, refusing to cry out.“Stop! Please, stop!” Evelyn cried, her voice trembling with despair. “Jerry, please!”Jerry raised his hand, and Frank paused. He turned to Evelyn, lifting her tear-streaked face to meet his gaze, “How does it feel to see your mate suffer? Enjoyi
Grayson moved silently, his eyes scanning the shadows for movement as he reached the edge of the camp. Evelyn followed close behind, her steps light but purposeful.Suddenly, the camp came alive with movement. Hunters emerged from all directions, their weapons gleaming in the moonlight as they formed a circle around Grayson and Evelyn.Jerry strode out from the crowd, his expression smug and triumphant. “Do you think you can waltz into my camp and take my prisoner? You must take me for a fool,” he sneered, his voice dripping with malice.Grayson’s stance shifted, his body coiled like a spring ready to pounce. “I knew this wouldn’t be easy. But I came prepared,” he said calmly, his eyes blazing with determination.Jerry’s laughter echoed through the camp. “Prepared? Do you think you can take all of us down? Alone?”“He’s not alone,” Evelyn said, stepping forward despite her battered state. She clenched her fists, her wounds already healing, her inner strength returning.Jerry’s smirk
Grayson slowly turned around, his heart pounding, preparing for the possibility of being discovered. His instincts told him to stay calm, and he steadied his breathing."Are... are you talking to me?" he asked, deliberately softening his tone to mimic a voice that wasn’t his own."Yes, you! Red vest!" Frank barked. "You belong to Group C. What the hell are you doing here with Group A?"Grayson glanced down at the red vest he had taken from one of the hunters earlier. His mind raced, but he masked his panic with a sheepish look. "Ah, sorry, sir! I must’ve gotten turned around. Long day out here, you know.""Save your excuses and get moving!" Frank snapped. "And don't let me catch you out of formation again!"Grayson nodded hastily. "Right away, sir." He turned and walked away quickly, making sure to put some distance between himself and Frank before slipping behind a tent to reassess the situation.Once the coast was clear, Grayson crept toward the area where Evelyn was being held. His
Grayson crouched low as he approached the hunters' camp, his body concealed by the dense underbrush. The flickering light of campfires illuminated the area ahead, casting shadows on the crude wooden barricades surrounding the camp. He flattened himself against the cold, damp ground and crawled forward, his sharp eyes scanning the layout of the camp.“The perimeter is heavily guarded—at least ten hunters are on patrol, each armed with rifles slung over their shoulders and silver knives at their belts,” Kyle reported after taking a glance around the camp.Grayson also looked around and saw the hunters on patrol. Their movements were methodical, and their sharp eyes roamed the darkness, looking for any sign of intruders."There are too many of them," Grayson said."But they're spread out," Kyle countered. "If we take them out one by one, we can do it quietly."Grayson began calculating. “I need to move fast and remain undetected. One wrong move could alert the entire camp,” he said.He
Diana rushed into Grayson's office, her face pale with panic.“What do you mean, Luke? Who came to him? And why would he leave by himself?” Diana demanded, her voice trembling.Luke sighed, running his fingers through his hair as he tried to gather his thoughts. "A hunter came to see him. He claimed he had information about Evelyn and insisted on speaking to Grayson alone. The next thing I know, Grayson is gone. I just spoke with the guards at the southern border—they confirmed he left the pack an hour ago.”Diana's eyes widened in horror. “Why did you let him go alone, Luke? The last time he faced those hunters, we almost lost him. What if they poison him again?” She clutched her chest, tears pooling in her eyes.“I didn’t ‘let’ him go, Diana. Grayson is stubborn, and you know it. He gave no warning and left without involving anyone else. I’ve already sent a patrol after him,” Luke replied, his voice heavy with guilt.Diana shook her head furiously. “No, Luke. That’s not enough. I’m
"Your mate is in our camp, and my boss has asked me to tell you that if you want to see her alive, you should follow me, and I'll lead you to where we are—but you have to come alone,” the hunter said.Grayson laughed darkly, the sound filling the room as he suddenly grabbed the hunter by the shirt, shoving him against the wall with force.“Your boss must think I’m stupid, trying to lure me away from my pack so he can attack them. He should try a different approach,” Grayson growled, his voice dripping with menace.The hunter smirked, undeterred. “He knew you wouldn’t believe me. That’s why he asked me to show you this.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone, showing Grayson a video of Evelyn. In it, she was tied to a tree, her face pale and bruised as she writhed in pain while being tortured.The sight triggered Kyle, Grayson’s wolf. He burst out in rage, taking control, and lunged at the hunter, snatching the phone from his hand and crushing it to pieces.Kyle’s cl
