Grayson was walking through the woods, trying to unwind when he heard a faint cry. He decided to ignore it as he didn't expect anyone would be in the woods.

Due to the presence of dangerous creatures in the woods, the pack members rarely ventured in alone.

This was why Grayson loved coming into the woods. He found solace in the peace and quietness it offers.

He heard the cry the second time, this time it was a little bit louder than the first one and the voice sounded familiar.

"Who could be out here in the woods at this time of the day?" Grayson said to himself as he made his way toward the direction from which the cry had originated.

As he approached the direction in which the sound had come from, he caught sight of a familiar figure with brown hair

“Evelyn?” Grayson muttered.

"Why is she in the woods?" Kyle said, feeling agitated at the sight of Evelyn.

Grayson noticed Evelyn grappling to free herself from something, but he couldn't discern what it was from the considerable distanc

    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

    Lisa held her neck gingerly, her fingers brushing over the bruises left by Grayson's grip. The sting was sharp, but her lips curved into a crooked smile as she walked out of Grayson's quarters."This time, everything will fall into place. No one will stop me—not even Grayson," she muttered under her breath, her voice low and cold.As she entered Diana's hospital room, her demeanor shifted instantly. Her face softened into a bright, seemingly genuine smile."Hey there," Lisa said cheerfully, approaching Diana’s bedside."Why not just finish her off completely? You have the perfect opportunity now," Missy whispered in her mind.Lisa’s smile faltered for a second but returned quickly. "Oh, Missy, don’t be ridiculous. Diana is our sister," Lisa said aloud, her tone light as she pretended to check Diana’s vitals."Sister?" Missy sneered. "What if she wakes up and tells everyone what really happened? You’ll be finished."Lisa let out a soft laugh. "She won’t wake up, Missy. You saw the d

    "What are you doing here?" Grayson's voice boomed as he jolted awake, his eyes locking onto Lisa lying beside him, completely naked.Lisa stirred, her lips curving into a sly smile as she met his enraged gaze. "You're awake," she purred.Grayson's chest heaved with fury. "I asked you a question. Why are you in my bed like this?"Lisa sat up slowly, making no attempt to cover herself. "You were drunk last night, Alpha. Someone had to take care of you. That’s all," she said, her tone sweet but calculated.Grayson's fists clenched as he stood, his towering frame looming over her. "I didn’t ask for your care, Lisa! Why are you lying beside me? What did you do?" His voice was venomous, and his temper barely contained.Lisa rose to her feet, swaying her hips deliberately as she smirked. "Nothing that we haven’t done before, Grayson," she replied, her eyes gleaming.Grayson's expression darkened, his fury spilling over. "You took advantage of me again!" he roared, his hands trembling with re

    Evelyn woke up with a jolt, startled by the rustling of a rabbit searching for food nearby. She had fallen asleep against the rough bark of a tree trunk, her body curled tightly for warmth. Clutching her arms to her chest, she shivered, the chill of the night still clinging to her. For a brief moment, she allowed herself to relax, her heartbeat steadying as she realized the intruder was only a harmless creature.Her dress was torn and muddied, her skin covered in red spots from insect bites. Her lips were cracked, her throat parched, and her eyes red and heavy from her sobs."Evelyn, pull yourself together. We can’t survive another day if we remain like this," Viola urged, her voice laced with concern.Evelyn wiped the tears streaming down her face with trembling hands."I never thought I would spend my wedding night in a forest," she whispered bitterly. "I should have been in Grayson's arms, safe and loved. Instead, I’ve been humiliated, and... I lost my virginity to a stranger. So

    "I'm afraid our plans may have to change," he said, his voice trembling slightly, unsure of how Jerry would take the news."How? What happened?" Jerry’s voice was sharp, his eyes narrowing as he leaned forward in his seat.James took a deep breath and quickly relayed everything—the chaos in the pack, the attack on Diana, Evelyn’s disappearance, and Grayson’s collapse into despair. "I didn’t expect it to spiral like this. Grayson’s not just emotionally broken, He’s a shadow of himself now." James explained."How could this happen?" Jerry scoffed, kicking the air in frustration. "How are we supposed to lure Grayson out of the pack now?"James hesitated, then spoke, his voice low, almost pleading."There’s no need to lure him out. He’s not a threat anymore. He’s weak and vulnerable. You could come in and attack the pack directly. But… I ask that you don’t destroy everything."A dark smile tugged at Jerry’s lips. "He’s a shadow of himself, you say? That means the poison worked," he said,

    "I told you, Grayson is a curse to this pack, but you refused to believe me. Now look at what’s happened again!" James said sharply, pacing the room as he addressed Demas and Gaius. "This is the second scandal within his family."Demas shook his head, his expression dark. "Enough is enough! Grayson must step down immediately, or we’ll have no choice but to take action against him."James smirked, folding his arms. "He’s already a shadow of himself as we speak. His weakness is evident.""That’s his problem," Gaius sneered. "What matters now is Silvermoon Pack’s future. We need a leader who won’t be so easily blinded or betrayed by women."The three shared a cold laugh, their disdain for the Alpha filling the room."I’ll meet with Robert," James suggested after the laughter subsided. "We need to know if he’s willing to join our cause or not."Demas scoffed dismissively. "Robert? That self-righteous fool? He’ll never agree. He’ll talk about loyalty to the Alpha until his dying breath.""

    Evelyn's eyelids fluttered open at the sound of Grayson's voice, his tone sharp and filled with raw fury. Disoriented, she sat up, only to feel the cool air against her bare skin. Her heart raced as she realized where she was—a room unfamiliar, the scent wrong.Her eyes darted to the stranger lying next to her, a smug expression on his face. Panic surged through her veins.“Who are you? What am I doing here?” she screamed, scrambling to cover herself with the sheets.The man stretched lazily, smirking at her. “Baby, what’s with the act? We just had the night of our lives. Don’t spoil it now because of this pathetic excuse of an Alpha,” he said, gesturing toward Grayson. “We both know we’re meant to be together.”“I don’t know you!” Evelyn cried, her voice breaking as her gaze flicked to Grayson.She looked down at the bed, her breath hitching as she noticed the bloodstained sheets. Horror spread through her as the reality of the situation hit her like a punch to the gut. She jumped

    Grayson leaned back in his chair, a faint smile tugging at his lips as he listened to Beta Luke.“They fought?” Grayson asked, his voice tinged with amusement.“Yes,” Luke confirmed. “It’s the talk of the pack now. They said it was a heated face-off, and Evelyn said some pretty harsh words.”Grayson chuckled, shaking his head. “Girls’ squabbles. I’m sure it’s nothing serious. But I’ll talk to Evelyn. Diana knows how to push buttons.”Luke's expression shifted to concern. “I get that, but you know how much the pack loves Diana. Even if she provoked Evelyn, I don’t want Evelyn to be seen as a villain. Especially now.”Grayson nodded, his tone softening. “You’re right. I’ll make sure she keeps her composure. But you should talk to your wife too—let her know when to stop provoking my bride.”Luke laughed reluctantly, nodding. “Fair enough. I’ll deal with Diana.”The conversation shifted, growing more serious. Grayson leaned forward, his fingers drumming on the desk.“By the way, Luke,” he

    Evelyn became so engrossed in wedding preparations that she barely had time to visit Grayson. Her days were packed with meetings—visiting the seamstress, coordinating with caterers, and overseeing the decorators in the pack’s square. As Evelyn stood in the square, giving instructions to a group of decorators hanging floral garlands, she noticed Diana walking into the bustling area. Evelyn’s face lit up with hope, thinking Diana might have come to show support or perhaps even to reconcile.“Diana! What brings you here?” Evelyn greeted, her voice warm with optimism.Diana’s eyes narrowed as she folded her arms across her chest, her posture exuding disdain. Evelyn’s smile faltered, sensing the hostility.“I can see you’ve finally achieved your mission in this pack,” Diana said coldly, her tone laced with contempt.Evelyn’s brows furrowed. “What are you talking about, Diana? I don’t understand.”Diana scoffed, her expression hard. “How could you not understand? This was your goal all

    Evelyn and Tara sat cross-legged on the floor of Evelyn’s room, swatches of fabric and design sketches spread out before them. Tara picked up a piece of white satin, holding it against Evelyn’s frame.“This,” Tara declared with a grin, “with silver embroidery down the bodice. It screams elegance but still keeps that ethereal Luna vibe.”Evelyn laughed, brushing her fingers over the fabric. “You’ve thought about this more than I have.”“Well, someone has to! You’re marrying an Alpha, Evelyn. You can’t just show up in a plain dress,” Tara teased.Evelyn rolled her eyes, smiling. “I wasn’t planning on wearing plain clothes, thank you very much. But I want something… simple. Nothing too extravagant.”Tara gasped dramatically, clutching her chest. “Simple? Evelyn, no. You’re not just any bride; you’re going to be Luna! You have to shine, especially with some of those pack members still grumbling. This is your moment to shut them up with sheer beauty.”Evelyn shook her head, laughing. “I d
