“Huh, Grayson is a guy! Of course, he did it for the pleasure of it,” Lisa revealed.“Oh my goodness, you must have been so hurt,” Evelyn asked.“Not really. I was not as hurt as when my mate rejected me,” Lisa explained.“But there must have been some feelings you had for Grayson, to have agreed to something like this,” Evelyn remarked.“Not really, I did it for Diana. I owe her a lot. I owe the Woods family a lot. They took me in when I lost my parents,” Lisa said.“You grew up with Grayson and Diana?” Evelyn asked.“Yes,” Lisa responded.“But that doesn't mean you should sacrifice your happiness for them. Grayson is such a jerk, how could he sleep with you when you are practically like his sister, and now he is denying your child” Evelyn protested.Lisa smiled, “Grayson is just acting tough on the outside, and trying to build a wall around his heart so he doesn't get hurt but deep down he is not a bad person. You will find out when you get to know him,” “Get to know him! That's ne
“The council of elders has requested to have a meeting with you,” Beta Luke informed Grayson as he strode into his office. Grayson looked up from the papers he was attending to, his expression tense as he met Beta Luke's gaze with a piercing look.“Council of elders?” Grayson repeated.“Yes,” Beta Luke affirmed.“What business do I have with those bunch of old fools,” Grayson snapped.“Your sister reported the situation with Lisa to them,” Beta Luke informed. Grayson's eyes blazed a fiery red, their intensity piercing through the room as his body shook with anger. His jaw clenched tightly, the muscles in his neck visibly tensed as he struggled to contain his emotions."Warn your wife to tread carefully, she is treading on thin ice with me and I will not spare her because she is my sister," Grayson growled, his voice low and filled with a warning tone.“I tried to warn her but she didn't listen to me,” Beta Luke said.“When is the meeting?” Grayson asked.“Later today,” Beta Luke sai
Grayson sneered while casting a sharp look at the elders.“I will do no such thing. The council does not make decisions for me. I am old enough to make my own decisions,” Grayson declared.Alpha Grayson, no one is calling you a child. However, as the Alpha of our pack, certain responsibilities are expected of you, including taking a Luna. A Luna plays a crucial role as the mother figure of the pack, and your refusal to marry is causing a void in those responsibilities. We cannot ignore this matter any longer due to your personal choices, Alpha," Gaius, another elder interjected.“You can get someone to fill that position, I do not care,” Grayson said."That is unacceptable! How can we do such a thing? That is against our tradition. The Luna's position is specifically designated for the Alpha's mate," James, an elder, asserted firmly.“Do not talk to me in that tone, I am still your Alpha,” Alpha Grayson yelled, his muscles quivering.“For now,” James responded.“Is that a threat?” Alp
“Why did you piss the council off?” Beta Luke inquired as he followed Grayson outside.“Those bunch of old fools can't tell me what to do. You remember how they tried to rob me of my rights when I was young after my father's death. They wanted to make someone else Alpha, saying I was too young to lead them,” Grayson said.“I remember Alpha Grayson, the more reason you shouldn't piss them off now,” Beta Luke said in concern.“I am not afraid of them, they can not do anything to me. I think it is high time I dissolve the council, I should have done that a long time ago,” Grayson said.“Dissolve them?” Beta Luke exclaimed, shock written on his face.“You heard me right,” Grayson said.“I am afraid the pack members will not like that, Alpha,” Beta Luke said.“What value do they add to this pack other than sitting down and discussing irrelevant things? Yet, the pack pays them a huge amount of money as salary,” Alpha Grayson said.“I will suggest you tread carefully with them anyways,” Beta
“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
“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
