“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
“What? Who killed her?” Grayson said, jumping on his feet.“I have no idea, Alpha, I'm as surprised as you are,” Beta Luke said.“Huh,” Grayson scoffed.“I am heading there right now, wanna come along?” Beta Luke asked.“Let's go,” Grayson said.Grayson and Beta Luke hurriedly left Grayson's office and headed towards the stream.Grayson and Beta Luke found that a large number of pack members had already gathered at the stream upon their arrival.“Who found her body?” Grayson asked.“My child and her friends did. They had come to the river to have a bath when they saw it,” Tara said, coming forward.“When was this?” Grayson inquired.“About thirty minutes ago. I informed the guards immediately after the children called my attention to it,” Tara said.“Where do you stay?” Grayson asked.“There,” Tara answered, pointing to her house.“Did you touch the body?” Grayson asked.“No, I couldn't go near it. I called the guards over immediately,” Tara said.“Alright, everyone step back,” Grayso
“What do they want this time?” Grayson muttered, a hint of disdain in his voice.“Lisa and Evelyn have been summoned as well,” Declan added.“Is the hearing now?” Grayson asked.“Yes, my Lord, it is,” Declan said.“Alright, you can go. We will join the elders shortly,” Grayson said, dismissing Declan with a wave of hand.“They must have heard about Clara's death, I think that's why they are summoning us,” Beta Luke said.“Clara? Who is that?” Diana inquired, raising her eyebrows.“The servant who claimed to have witnessed what happened between Lisa and Evelyn,” Beta Luke clarified.“Oh my goodness! She’s dead? How?” Diana gasped, covering her mouth in shock.Grayson rose to his feet with a steady, purposeful motion, his movements carrying a quiet intensity. His posture straightened, and his shoulders squared as he turned toward the door.“Are you leaving now?” Beta Luke asked.“Yes, let's get this done once and for all,” Grayson replied with a shrug.“Alright, I will go with you,” Bet
Evelyn stretched her arms, feeling the familiar pull of freedom as she stood at the door to Grayson’s room. She turned to face him, his brow furrowed in disapproval.“You really think you’re ready?” Grayson asked in a low voice that showed concern.Evelyn smiled gently and replied, “I’ve been ready for days. You can’t keep me in your room forever.”“I’m not trying to keep you,” Grayson protested.“Yes, you are,” she cut in, laughing. “And it’s sweet, but I need some air and I also need to take a stroll. My feet feel numb,” Evelyn added.Grayson’s eyes softened, but he crossed his arms. “I don’t like this.” He said.“You don’t have to,” Evelyn replied. She leaned up, pecking his cheek. “I’ll be fine, Alpha,” Evelyn said and made her way out of the room.As she walked down the hall, she noticed the servants whispering. Their eyes flickered to her, then quickly away as she passed. Evelyn smiled as she passed them by. She knew exactly what they were gossiping about — Grayson.Evelyn d
Jerry’s black SUV arrived at the Shadow Pack and approached the gates.The guards stiffened as he stepped out, their eyes darting nervously. Without acknowledging them, Jerry walked straight towards the Alpha's house, his dark aura clearing a path ahead of him.In the main hall, Alpha Jaxon was holding court, his thin frame hunched over the table as he listened to his advisors. He was barely in his thirties, his youthful face marred by constant worry. The moment the doors swung open and Jerry entered, the air in the room thickened. Jaxon’s eyes widened, and he quickly stood, dismissing his advisors with a wave.“Leave us,” he ordered, his voice quivering.The advisors hesitated for a moment, casting wary glances at Jerry, before scurrying out of the room.Jerry’s eyes followed them until the door closed.“Busy day, Jaxon?” he drawled, his voice dripping with disdain.Jaxon forced a smile, the corners of his mouth twitching, “Routine pack matters, nothing important.”Jerry remained s
The whispers began the moment the warriors returned from Stone Moon Pack. What had started as hushed conversations among a few members soon spread like wildfire, fueled by the warriors who’d seen the way Grayson had treated Evelyn back on the battlefield.The talk about Grayson and Evelyn's relationship soon became the words on everyone's lips at the pack.Two ladies, Lucy and Sarah, on their way to the stream to get water were busy talking about what they heard.“You hear what they’re saying about Alpha Grayson and that strange girl?” Lucy said, lowering her voice as though the grasses might have ears.“Yeah, I heard. It’s hard not to. The whole pack’s talking about it.” Sarah replied.Lucy shot her a sidelong glance, clearly uncomfortable. “Do you think it’s true? That he’s been keeping her in his room? I thought that was just a rumor,” She asked.Sarah frowned, a deep furrow creasing her brow.“I don’t know, but Alpha Grayson has never done anything like this before. He’s always
Evelyn remained within the confines of Grayson's room till the next day. Her body was still weak from her injury and the poison, although she wanted to go back to her apartment but Grayson was adamant about her staying there, keeping her close.Grayson remained in the room with her, bringing her everything she needed, food, fresh water, and even clothes she could change into. He remained by her side all day, talking to her as if there was nothing more in the world he needed than her company.Evelyn, for the first time, allowed herself to be cared for without hesitation. She had always been independent, strong-willed, and stubborn, but Grayson’s constant attention made her feel something she couldn’t quite put into words. Something warm and tender.Evelyn was sitting up in bed, the next day, the afternoon sunlight filtering through the thick curtains.She watched as Grayson moved around the room, gathering papers on his desk and organizing them carefully.“You know,” she started,
Carter, the hunter who managed to escape, ran back to their camp, panting, his face streaked with sweat and dirt. The other hunters watched him warily, sensing the tension in the air. Frank, the second-in-command, stood in the center, arms crossed, his piercing eyes fixed on Carter.“Why have you come back alone? Where are the others?” Frank questioned, his voice low and dangerous. ““They... they’re dead. An Alpha from another pack came with his warriors and launched an attack on us, they ambushed us. We didn’t stand a chance,” Carter explained, swallowing hard his saliva as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.“You were twenty in number, armed with weapons. How did one Alpha and a few warriors take you down?”“They were different. They were stronger than any other werewolves we’ve faced. They had weapons too, even guns,” Carter answered, his voice wavering “Why didn’t you contact us? You could have called the camp for backup!” Frank said.“We tried to call for backup, but—”“But w
The journey back to the Silvermoon pack was a slow, measured march. The sun had barely begun to rise, casting soft golden rays through the dense canopy.Grayson walked beside the cart carrying Evelyn, his eyes scanning the forest with relentless focus. Every few miles, he signaled for the group to stop, allowing Evelyn time to rest.“Alpha, you know we’re making this trip twice as long,” Evelyn said, concerned about the warriors. Though they didn’t say anything, their expressions showed they were not too happy about the incessant stops.“I won’t risk your condition worsening,” Grayson replied to her.“I am fine, Alpha. Moreover, I am riding in the cart, not walking like the rest of you. The guards are tired and hungry; most of them have bruises too. I don't want to be selfish. Please, let us keep going without any more stops. I am strong, Grayson. Stronger than you give me credit for,” Evelyn said.Grayson knelt beside the cart, his eyes searching hers. “We stop when you need to stop.
Grayson stormed over to the hunter, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him off the ground.“Why did she pass out? What the hell is happening?” Grayson asked impatiently, his voice filled with desperation.“Th…That’s how the antidote works. Please! Give her a few minutes, she’ll wake up!”“That’s how it works, huh?” Grayson repeated, tightening his grip around the hunter's neck.“Yes, I swear! The antidote is fighting the poison and that's why she passed out. She will wake up soon,” The hunter said through a muffled breath. Grayson released him with a shove, sending the hunter to the ground. He paced back and forth, every second stretching into eternity. His mind filled with memories, moments of his cold rejection, of his harsh words, of ignoring Kyle's plea to accept Evelyn.“Why didn’t I listen?” he thought, seeing Evelyn now so fragile and on the brink of death made him regret everything he did.“Please, Moon Goddess, make her come back to me. I will accept her,” he silently pray
Grayson’s heart raced as he saw Evelyn collapse to the ground, the blood staining the earth beneath her. Without a second thought, he sprinted towards her, his feet pounding against the dirt."Cover me!" he shouted to his warriors, his voice filled with urgency. His eyes locked onto the two hunters advancing on Evelyn, weapons drawn, ready to strike.The warriors instantly fell into formation, swiftly surrounding Grayson and Evelyn, creating a protective shield around them.They blocked the hunters' path, their weapons drawn and their stances firm.Grayson didn’t hesitate. He leaped forward, meeting the hunters head-on with a ferocity that sent shockwaves through the air. His claws extended, his wolf instincts roaring to life as he fought with a primal intensity. He slashed at one of the hunters, knocking him off balance before spinning to face the second.Grayson lifted Evelyn up in his arms, his heart racing in his chest. Blood soaked through her clothes, staining his hands, Kyle
The air was filled with an uproar as the warriors moved through the field, preparing for the imminent battle. The rhythmic sounds of metal clanking and weapons being readied filled the air, and each warrior focused on their task. Grayson stood at the front, overseeing the preparations, his expression stoic as he surveyed the readiness of his fighters.“Listen up!” Grayson said, his voice cutting through the hushed murmurs.“The hunters are currently attacking the Moon Stone pack. We can not wait any longer. We will attack them tonight. This is a well-coordinated enemy, they use guns and weapons lethal to wolves. Our advantages lie in our speed and strength. Beta Luke and I have devised a strategy to flank them.”He turned to Beta Luke, who stepped forward to address the warriors.“We will split into three units. The first, led by me, will engage the hunters head-on, creating a distraction. Alpha Grayson’s unit will circle, taking them from the rear. The third group will be the best
