“They’re going to kill her!” Sage exclaimed, standing by the tree some distance away from the temple. “I doubt they’re going to do that…” Billy said standing next to her. He was panting hard, lips paling while holding his arm. Sage looked at his wound and dilemma filled her eyes. She and the rest of the team found Billy and were able to save him, but not before he was tortured. Fortunately, he was still breathing when they found him in that dungeon. After they escaped, they decided to find their captain, Naya but were stunned to find out she was taken by their leader of the border, a full-blooded alpha prince named Kael from the West Wood Pack. They were even more shocked when they heard Naya had become a slave. Chills ran over Sage’s spine each time she imagined Naya’s suffering. “We need to help her. She doesn’t deserve to be in that situation…!” Billy’s mouth hung open as he breathed with difficulty. He looked like he wanted to say something but what only came out was a cough.
Kael heaved out, beads of sweat trickling down his torso down to his pelvis. He brushed his hair through his fingers, letting out a small smile, revealing his fangs. Tone unreadable once more, he uttered, “That was fun, wasn’t it?” Naya had her head spinning. Her body was aching and there was no way of knowing where it hurt the most. What frustrated her was the thought that during the entire deed, she couldn’t resist. And the worst part was that… it made her feel something else. The mere thought of her acting out on pleasure by herself made her shudder. She heard Kael let out a low chuckle. Then she felt him move, closer until he had touched her neck. His sight landed on Naya’s flesh, specifically where the collar was wrapped. Kael’s eyes glinted mysteriously and Naya’s body shivered upon seeing it. Suddenly, there was a knock on the temple doors. Kael took his gaze away from Naya’s and turned to the door. “Surely they didn’t come to punish me now, did they?” he started laughing
"Why go to the temple in the first place when you know you can't stand it? The lake can only do so much." Kael laughed at Jed. "You talk too much these days. Why, it's fun staying in the water, especially in good weather like this." Jed almost choked. Good weather? It's already sunset and the wind was too cold in this part of the lake! "Please refrain from doing these things again, if your father, Alpha, learns--" "Oh stop being silly. The alpha knows everything about everyone in the pack. You ditched the training to pass the message so you of all people should know it." Jed froze. But he insisted, "But that's only because you didn't return when he asked you. Prince Kael, it’s been a week since you left the main village. If this goes on longer--" "Ugh, I get it I get it. Stop nagging me, Jed. Be still like this water and try to cool your head off, won't you? I'll tell you my plan later. Sounds good?" "..." Did Jed even have a choice? Kael chuckled. Finally, some peace. He sigh
“You sent those men?” Kael asked as he sat on the chair. Jed bowed slightly. “Yes. They are with the slave at this moment.” Kael hummed as a response. Then smiling, he shut his eyes and sighed. “Great. Can I take a nap now?” Jed’s face twitched. He wanted to say something when there was a knock on the door. “Who is it?” “Alpha Prince Kael, Master Jed, Romeo is here to see you both.” Jed glanced at the alpha prince who was now lying down on his chair, his back and his legs hinged up without care. He sighed and spoke instead, “Let him in.” A man wearing a tie around his head entered. He looked at Kael once then knelt on one knee. “Alpha Prince, it is I, your messenger Romeo. I have come to report about an incident.” Kael hummed, still lying on his chair with his eyes closed. “Go ahead.” “Yesterday, the troops we sent to deliver the reply to Lotus Maiden Pack were ambushed! We were passing by the river near the Night Ridge’s territory when a group of rogues appeared. Because of t
Jed took a deep breath before glancing at Kael. Truly, Kael’s behavior towards packs – whether small or big – remained the same. They didn’t change over the years. What’s more, they seemed to be only getting worse. Jed clenched and unclenched his hands while taking more deep breaths. He tried different ways to improve the alpha prince’s condition but he failed again and again. Over the years he realized there was simply nothing that could change him. Kael wouldn’t change, no matter if he was delighted, in the mood, or had found interesting toys or not. Even towards that slave… A small glint flashed through Jed’s eyes as he remembered Naya, Kael’s recently found toy. That rogue was going to have a taste of what it was like to be Kael’s possession now. Would she finally understand her position? Jed wondered. She didn’t look like she would break easily. Kael was aiming to make her surrender… or was that his real purpose? Jed stared at Kael who was still relaxed on his chair, tryi
“You think you’re above us because you’re taken as a toy, huh?” one of the men said with a snicker. Naya looked at Peter and his minion in silence. Peter walked arrogantly and went to grab Naya’s hair. Naya dodged it quickly, sending him a kick instead. The other men laughed. “How dare you kick Boss Peter?!” the man snickering earlier said with a cold glare at Naya. He lunged forward, almost breaking the metal chain around his hands when Naya kicked up, her knee giving a lightning-bolt hit towards the minion’s groin. The minion groaned in pain on the ground, wailing while glaring at Naya and cursing her nonstop. “… I will kill you, bitch!” Peter also let out a huff. He started to kick Naya but Naya lowered her body. In a quick jab, she sent Peter away, stumbling to the other two men who had been laughing at them while fighting. Hit by accident, the two laughing men halted, their smiles disappeared as they looked at Naya coldly. One of them stood up, annoyed. “So you’re a fight
Naya felt a chill run down her spine, her eyes widening in shock as she spun around, her heart pounding erratically. With a surge of adrenaline, she instinctively swatted away the hand that had grabbed her.At the foot of the dimly lit staircase, a man stood, bathed in a faint, eerie glow. His tousled hair hung wildly, framing a face drenched in perspiration, the sweat meandering down the rugged terrain of his chiseled features. His eyes, sharp and intense, were framed by thin, tightly pressed lips that quickly ignited a memory within Naya's mind."Are you okay?" The man's voice, strained and breathless, pierced through the tense silence. He took a cautious step toward Naya.Naya, her senses still on high alert, retreated a step, maintaining a defensive distance between them. Suspicion lingered in her gaze as she regarded the stranger.With an air of patience that defied the urgency of the situation, Lorenzo slowly lowered his hands, casting a reassuring gaze upon her. "I-I'm not a ba
Hearing the name and seeing his face, Naya quickly remembered everything that happened. She remembered being taken to the dungeon. New prisoners came and they tried to assault her until the above surface started to tremble. Then the cell doors opened. The next thing she saw was blood everywhere, and then this man named Lorenzo. Naya shot him a glance, this time his face turned clearer for her to inspect. He had a bearing of an alpha, but at the same not. Not yet. Wasn’t he the alpha of this pack? No. It didn’t seem like it… “Leave us,” Lorenzo ordered and everyone bowed down to leave. Lorenzo walked towards the bed. He sat down, his face full of concern while staring at Naya from head to toe as if trying to find any wound or scar that hadn’t been treated yet. “How do you feel? Does it still hurt anywhere?” “No,” Naya answered. Her response seemed to ignite whatever Lorenzo was feeling as he moved closer with a smile. “That’s great. The doctor said it will take you some more days
Naya's eyes widened, her heart racing as she slowly looked up to see Kael standing beside her, his usual arrogant smile softened by a hint of concern. A single tear slid down her cheek, and as Kael’s smile faded, his expression grew cold, especially when another voice cut through the air."Even until the end, you're still weak," Alfredo sneered. "I raised you, trained you, and you can't even complete your mission! If you're not going to do it, then I will! Men, kill the heir! Bring me his head!"At Alfredo's command, the soldiers of the Light Shadow Pack, along with the remaining Midnight Seven, charged forward. Zeke, knowing how much Luna Alicia wanted to protect Billy—Ruben—leapt into the fray, defending him and fighting alongside the Crimson Stone Pack soldiers. Kael soon joined the battle, shifting into his wolf form and tearing through the Light Shadow Pack members with lethal precision. The two brothers fought side by side until Kael confronted Alfredo."So, you're her father?"
When Fabian looked up, he saw Gaston and Alfredo, both equally stunned. “Finally,” Fabian smiled. “I got to see you both.” Gaston helped him stand. “I thought you’d die! How did you escape?” Fabian shrugged, hiding his pain. “When you’re a father, you have to keep fighting for your family.”Gaston chuckled. “Bragging about being a dad again, I see. So, how’d you end up here?” He patted Fabian’s back as they walked.“I’m being chased,” Fabian said, making them stop in their tracks.“By who?” Gaston asked.“General Hans and some rogues,” Fabian answered.Gaston and Alfredo exchanged uneasy glances.Alfredo turned to Fabian with a firm expression. “You need to leave.”“Why?” Fabian asked.“This territory belongs to our pack, the Light Shadow Pack,” Gaston explained. “We can’t risk an attack because of you.”Fabian nodded, understanding. “I’ll go so I won’t cause any trouble.”But soon after Fabian left, the territory was attacked by the same rogues and enemy soldiers from the mainland
Naya stood frozen, a whisper escaping her lips, “No…” Billy was lying. Naya knew he was. But as she looked into his eyes, a chilling certainty crept in—he wasn’t lying at all. “It’s the truth, Naya,” he said, his expression softening, tinged with a trace of melancholia. “Many years ago, when I was just a child, my parents were forced to leave because of an internal conflict within our pack. An ordinary servant of the Light Shadow Pack took me in and raised me as their own before they passed away. But I didn’t come from there. I belong to this pack, the Crimson Stone Pack. And my name isn’t Billy. It’s Ruben. I have alpha blood, and I’m the heir to this pack.” As Naya listened, her mind spun with confusion, each word Billy spoke tightening the vise around her heart until it felt like it would shatter. All along, the person she was destined to kill had been Billy. How could this be? How could it be him? Why? Why him? Just then, the windows shattered, and two wolves b
Naya looked at Samantha, noticing that Samantha’s eyes were still locked on hers. She had been silent ever since they captured her, not even attempting to resist. She remained calm, following Naya and the team without any struggle.In any case, Samantha was the perfect bait—the exact hostage they needed to finally enter enemy territory.Ignoring any distractions, Naya brushed off Samantha’s unnerving stare and turned to her team. She gave each of them their instructions for once they entered the Crimson Stone Pack.Soon enough, they crossed the gates. The sun was slowly setting as they passed through the first group of soldiers at the border.Sage moved closer to Naya and murmured, “Captain, isn’t it strange? That Alpha Princess hasn’t said a word. She didn’t even try to get those soldiers’ attention.”Naya clenched her hands. She felt something was off too.“What if it’s another trap?” Sage asked.Naya looked ahead, her eyes cold. “If that’s the case, we’ll kill her immediately.”The
A tall man shouted from a distance, “Find them! Don’t let them get away!”Naya’s heart skipped a beat as she recognized the voice—it was the same general who had visited the family before. His commanding tone cut through the night air.A soldier approached him, breathless. “General, a report came from the South. It seems Sir Fabian took that route. They’re heading to the lake!”The general’s face twisted in anger. “Fabian… That trickster… How dare he betray his own pack? Find him! No matter what happens tonight, we will not stop until we capture that traitor!”With a united roar, the soldiers growled and marched south, their footsteps echoing through the forest as the general led them.Suddenly, the scene shifted, and Naya found herself by the lake. The moonlight reflected off the water, casting eerie shadows across the surface. Fabian was locked in battle with soldiers, while Louisa pushed a canoe with Luna Sandra and Rosanne inside.“What are you doing? Why aren’t you getting in?” L
"Many rogues have been spotted around the Southern Border lately. I can’t leave yet,” Fabian replied, his voice tense. He glanced at Louisa with a meaningful look, signaling that the next conversation would be more serious.Louisa caught the signal and took Rosanne's hand. “Let’s go, Rosanne. Let’s find your brother.”Rosanne’s eyes lit up instantly. “Are we going to see Ruben today, Mama?”Louisa smiled warmly. “Yes. Come on.”Before they left, she gave another look at the two men, a mixture of concern and understanding in her eyes.Naya remained on the side, her heart racing as she listened to Gaston and Fabian’s conversation. All they spoke about was their pack. And Naya was right. It was truly the Crimson Stone Pack.Gaston and her father, Alfredo, were both members of the Crimson Stone Pack.Before she could figure out more about her father, the scenery changed. It shifted to Louisa, Rosanne, and a young boy with long black hair. His face seemed a bit blurry, but Naya could make
Crimson Stone PackLeira, a loyal fighter, rushed into Luna Alicia’s room, her face filled with worry. Luna Alicia stood up from her seat. With hesitation, Leira handed her a letter wrapped in a black cloth. “This came from Prince Zeke.”As Luna Alicia read the letter, tears filled her eyes. “A war…” she whispered. “After a drought.” She stumbled, overwhelmed by the news, but Leira quickly helped her back to the chair. Following Luna Alicia's command, Leira took the letter and set it on fire with a match. As the letter burned, Luna Alicia's eyes reflected a mix of emotions. “Just as my sister warned me,” she said sadly, remembering a distant, painful memory. “It’s bound to happen sooner or later. There’s no stopping it.”Leira stood silently by her side. For the past few weeks, she had watched Luna Alicia cry, not because of her situation with Alpha Prince Zeke of the West Wood Pack, but because of the past and the fearful future that people from the past had predicted.“Did Samantha
Alpha Prince Felix stood among the countless lifeless bodies sprawled on the ground. The scent of blood mingled with the earth, permeating the moist air and sending a chill down his spine. The sounds of battle had ceased, but the heavy atmosphere lingered. Too many rogues had appeared out of nowhere—or was it really nowhere? They all behaved as though they had lost their sanity. Where exactly did they come from? The more Felix thought about it, the stranger it felt. Seven soldiers were lost in this encounter, each death weighing heavily on his mind. This wasn’t a simple attack from rogues. There had to be something else – a deeper reason behind all this chaos. Felix let out a few slow breaths and was about to walk back to the tower when he heard a choking sound in the distance. A soldier lay on the ground, his right limb severed. He looked up at Felix, hand reaching out.“What’s your name?” Felix asked, bending down.“Axiel, Alpha Prince,” the soldier replied, choking on blood. A
The moment Naya opened her eyes, she was met with Jed’s face, staring at her with a confused, concentrated look. Seeing her eyes snap open, Jed quickly moved back, clearing his throat. “I thought you were dead. You were barely breathing. Are you okay? You don’t look good.”Naya remained silent. In reality, her head felt like it was going to explode. She had been sweating coldly for a while, and the entire time she was seated in the carriage, it felt like she was floating, barely sensing anything but the pain throbbing in her head. She remembered Kael talking to her earlier but couldn’t recall what he said.She huffed, adjusting her position. “Where’s your prince?” she asked.Jed’s eyebrows furrowed. “He is outside dealing with rogues. Weren’t you listening to him earlier?”Naya didn’t answer.“Never mind,” Jed said, knowing Naya wouldn’t explain herself anyway. “We’re inside the pack territory now, so this will be dealt with quickly. Besides, Alpha Prince Zeke is stationed nearby. He’
