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

    Evelyn walked gracefully to the stage to give an opening speech, all eyes were on her as she looked stunning in the dress Tara had given her.Alpha Grayson shifted uneasily in his seat, his eyes were filled with lustrous desires as he stared at Evelyn who was walking to the stage.The way she swayed her hips sent signals to his brain and formed imaginations in his mind.“Good morning, dear wonderful members of Silvermoon Pack,” Evelyn greeted, flashing a bright smile at the pack members.“Blessed morning to you too,” The pack members chorused with applause.“I would like to thank Alpha Grayson and Beta Luke for the opportunity given to me to plan the activities for the new moon festival this year. I would also like to thank you all, for the support and love shown to a stranger like me, and for accepting me into the pack. Thank you all. Without further ado, we will start the celebration now,” Evelyn said.“Ahoooo,” The pack members howled in excitement, clapping their hands.“We will b

    The pack members swiftly gathered around Lisa, who lay on the floor writhing in pain.“My stomach, my stomach,” Lisa cried out dramatically, putting on a show.Diana, Beta Luke, and Alpha Grayson hurried down to her side.“What happened?” Diana asked.“I was trying to apologize to Evelyn about what happened yesterday and she pushed me,” Lisa claimed, feigning innocence.“What? I didn't push you, Lisa, you threw yourself down” Evelyn cried out in dismay."How could I throw myself down when I know I'm with a child? It doesn't make sense. Yesterday, you threatened that I would never bear Alpha Grayson's pup and that you would make me regret getting pregnant for your mate. You left the house in a fit of anger after causing havoc everywhere. I came to apologize and clarify things, but you pushed me," Lisa explained, her hand gripping her stomach tightly as more blood seeped out.The pack members shared glances with one another, taken aback by Lisa's revelation about being pregnant with Gra

    “Why are you locking her up?” Kyle protested as Beta Luke led Evelyn away.“Can't you see I am doing that to protect her until I get to the bottom of this? Do you want the wolves to lynch her, can't you see how agitated they are?” Grayson retorted sharply.“The party is over, return to your houses. Beta Luke and I will investigate this matter and decide on what to do,” Alpha Grayson said, addressing the pack members.The wolves let out a sad howl, expressing their discontent with the way the festival celebration had ended.One by one, they began to depart from the square, whispering amongst themselves about how Alpha Grayson must be truly cursed for all these events to be befalling him.“Take Lisa away. Give her all the necessary medications to ensure she is okay,” Grayson said to Diana and left the square for the cell. He met Beta Luke on the way.“I have locked her up,” Beta Luke informed.“Yes, show me to her cell,” Grayson commanded.“This way,” Beta Luke said.“Did you believe sh

    Grayson stormed out of the cell and communicated with Diana through the mind link as he made his way out.“Where are you?” He asked."I am at home. Why do you ask?" Diana responded."Is Lisa with you?" Grayson inquired.“No, she is in her house,” Diana replied."Did you leave a sick person alone in her house all by herself?" Grayson asked, his tone filled with suspicion.“She insisted that she would like to go to her house. She said she doesn't want to go to the hospital or come to my house so I took her home and gave her some drugs that will help with the pain and make her sleep,” Diana explained.“And you left her alone,” Grayson queried.“I came home to get some food and clothes. I will go back to her house to be with her shortly. What's with all these questions, Grayson?” Diana inquired, sounding infuriated.“Nothing, just checking up on Lisa,” Grayson said.“Since when did you care?” Diana said.Grayson disconnected the mind link, ignoring Diana's last statement, and made his way

    Lisa quickly opened her eyes as he heard Grayson open the door that led to the backyard, her heart raced fast and almost popped out of her chest.She sprang to her feet and tiptoed to the backyard to check what Grayson was doing there.Her heart jumped in anxiety when she saw him bending down over the grave where she had buried Clara.“What's he doing there?” Missy cried out.“I have no idea,” Lisa replied, trembling in fear.“We have to come up with an excuse or something. Grayson must never find out what we buried there else that will be the end for you and me,” Missy said.“Alpha Grayson,” Lisa called out. She pretended to be half awake and half asleep as she walked slowly to Grayson.“I thought you were fast asleep?” Grayson said, surprised to see Lisa awake.“I was but then I heard a noise in the house and it woke me up, then I heard someone open the backyard door and I was scared, I thought my house had been burgled,” Lisa explained, faking a yawn.“I came to check up on you,” G

    “What? Are you saying that she is lying right now?” Diana asked.“I just asked for proof, you only told me she was pregnant. I never saw a test result or something?” Grayson said.“I don't have any test results, you can ask Lisa when she wakes up. Please excuse me, I have a patient to attend to,” Diana said.“I want you to collect the blood sample in Lisa's living room and test it to see if it's cat blood or not. I also want you to test the blood from the miscarriage if it's hers or not,” Grayson said.“Grayson! What do you need these things for?” Diana exclaimed.“Just do as I say,” Grayson said.“And if I do not, what will you do?” Diana asked.“It is not a request, Diana. I, Alpha Grayson of the Silvermoon pack, command you, Diana Woods, to do as I say. Failure to do this will be seen and treated as insubordination to your Alpha and the necessary punishment for that shall be meted out to you,” Grayson said authoritatively.“Did you just use the Alpha's command on me?” Diana exclaim

    “When was the last time you saw her?” Beta Luke inquired from Samantha, Clara's friend and fellow servant the next day.“Yesterday at the square but she disappeared immediately after we were dismissed by the Alpha,” Samantha explained.“Does she have a mate?” Beta Luke inquired.“Yes, she does but she's not there. I saw Thomas this morning and asked him if Clara was with him but he said he hadn't seen her,” Samantha said.“Alright, thank you, Samantha,” Beta Luke said as he stood to take his leave.As he was about to leave the servant's quarters, one of the young servants ran to him.“Beta Luke,” She called out.“Yes,” Beta Luke answered.“I have some information about Clara, I don't know if it might help,” she revealed.“Yes, go on,” Beta Luke said.“I saw Clara heading towards the east side of the pack yesterday after we were dismissed. I wanted to ask her where she was going but I got distracted by something else,” she explained.“The east side of the pack?” Beta Luke reiterated.“

    “How are you doing?” Beta Luke greeted Evelyn as he got to her cell.Evelyn slowly lifted her head from her curled-up position as she heard Beta Luke's voice.“Just here,” She replied wearily.“I am here to ask you a few questions,” Beta Luke said.“I am listening,” Evelyn said.“The night you claimed you fought with Lisa and ran away, did you shift into your wolf?” Beta Luke asked.“Yes, Lisa was the first person to shift to her wolf form then I did the same so I could get away from her,” Evelyn replied.“What color is your wolf?” Beta Luke inquired.“My wolf's fur is cream,” Evelyn replied.“What about Lisa's?” Beta Luke probed further.“I think hers is dark,” Evelyn answered.“Okay. I would love to also ask you a question and I would like you to tell me the truth,” Beta Luke said, his gaze strongly fixed on Lisa.“Okay,” Evelyn said, rolling her eyes as she wondered what his question might be.“Do you like Grayson?” Beta Luke asked.“Huh! Why do you ask?” Evelyn replied, a little b

    “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?

    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
