Evelyn tried to explain what had happened in the woods to Diana, Lisa, and Beta Luke but they found it hard to believe the story, especially since Evelyn's heel, where the snake had bitten her, was now completely healed."I believe you, Evelyn. Thank goodness Grayson arrived in time to help," Lisa said, gently grasping Evelyn's hand.Diana gave Evelyn a sharp look before walking away from them.“What did he say about you not leaving the pack?” Lisa asked."I didn't even get the chance to ask him about that. I blacked out in the woods after the snake bite," Evelyn explained."Let me ask him," Beta Luke said, staring at Evelyn. He had observed the longing in Grayson's eyes while he was holding Evelyn earlier. He suspected Grayson might be interested in sleeping with Evelyn, which was likely why he was asking her to stay back.“Alpha Grayson,” Beta Luke said as he linked him.“What?” Grayson responded sharply.“Evelyn wants to know why you are stopping her from leaving the pack,” Beta Lu
“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
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
