Chapter Seven: The ChaseCrystal point of viewThe night was alive with tension, every shadow stretching long and ominous under the cold moonlight. Alpha’s words echoed in my mind like a bell. "The pack won’t wait long before they strike again.”He was right about those words. There was no time to rest, no time to gather my thoughts together. The pack was out for blood, and I was their target and there pawn in there big game.“We have to leave now,” Alpha said, his voice low but firm and controlling. The other men were already moving, preparing for what was to come up next. “They’ll come in full force, and next time, they’ll be better prepared to fight for themselves.”I nodded, my heart still racing from the confrontation. My mind was spinning unstop, but my body felt much alive, buzzing with the energy I had only just started to understand. I was ready, more than ready than I had ever been. But the fear was still hanging in there, lurking under the surface. This power, this destin
Chapter Eight: Bonds of BloodCrystal point of viewThe moment the wave of power exploded from me, everything around us seemed to freeze in the thin air. The harsh light from my energy bathed the forest in an eerie glow, and I could hear nothing but the faint crackle of power still coursing through me like a river flowing water. For the first time, the wolves hesitated. Their snarls were replaced with uncertainty, their eyes wide with something I hadn’t seen before or even gotten from them before;fear.They were scared of me already.Alpha Dante, Beta Ezra, and Gamma Ryan stood by my side, their eyes glowing with intensity and low Word's to me. Their whole presence was more than just comforting to me, it was empowering. Dante’s towering frame exuded dominance, his muscles rippling beneath his skin as he prepared for the next attack even if the opposing team isn't ready to do that. Ezra was sharp like sword, his eyes constantly scanning for any movement, calculating the next step
Chapter Nine: A Queen’s CommandThe pack knelt before me, the tension hanging thick in the air. I could hardly believe it. Me? Their Queen?The words sounded foreign in my mind, yet the power still hummed beneath my skin, undeniable.Dante stepped closer, his voice low but firm. “Crystal, you need to speak. Show them who you are.”I swallowed hard, glancing at the wolves who had once mocked and banished me. Now, they were kneeling, their heads lowered in submission. My hands clenched at my sides, unsure of what to say, but Dante’s presence grounded me. This wasn’t about them anymore. This was about me stepping into what I was destined for.I took a deep breath. “Rise,” I commanded, my voice stronger than I expected.The pack hesitated, exchanging nervous glances before they obeyed. Slowly, they stood, keeping their heads low, refusing to meet my gaze. The weight of their submission pressed against me, but I wasn’t going to let it crush me.Cole, still on one knee, finally stood as wel
Chapter Ten: Betrayal in the Shadows.The howl rang out, cutting through the night like a blade. My blood ran cold as I recognized it—Cole’s rallying cry.“Cole’s coming back,” Dante said, his voice low and dangerous as his wolf senses sharpened. His posture was tense, ready for battle.I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. My heart raced, not from fear but from the anticipation of what I knew was coming. Cole wasn’t going to accept my ascension quietly. He’d rally whoever he could and challenge me head-on. But what unnerved me wasn’t just his impending attack. It was that haunting howl, the unmistakable call for war.“Crystal, stay close to us,” Ryan said, his eyes scanning the treeline. Ezra stepped forward, positioning himself in front of me.“He’s not alone,” Dante muttered, his voice grim.I could feel the tension ripple through the pack as they all turned their attention to the trees. Shadows flickered, and suddenly, from the forest’s edge, Cole emerged, flanked by a do
Chapter Eleven: AwakeningCrystal point of viewThe darkness was suffocating, a heavy weight pressing down on me, pinning me to the ground, making me feel pressured. My mind and body struggled to fight through it, but it felt endless and meaningless—cold, empty, and filled with whispers I couldn’t understand. Somewhere, deep in the void, I could hear voices calling my name, but they were distant, muffled by the shadows swirling around me.Then, suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my chest, jolting me back to reality. My eyes flew open, and I gasped for air, my lungs burning as I choked on the cold night air. I was on the ground, lying in the clearing where the battle had taken place. Everything was a blur, but slowly, I began to focus. The pain in my chest was intense, and I instinctively reached for it, only to find the dark shard that Orin had stabbed me with still embedded there, pulsing with an unnatural energy.I tried to pull it out, but the moment I touched it, a searing pain s
Chapter Twelve: Shadows of the PastCrystal point of viewI barely slept that night, my mind racing with everything that had happened. Orin’s attack had left a scar—not just on my body but on my soul. Every time I closed my eyes, I could feel the shard’s darkness lingering, a shadow waiting to consume me. It was a chilling reminder of how close I had come to losing control.As the first light of dawn filtered through the trees, I forced myself to get up. The pack was already stirring, preparing for the day ahead. I could hear the low murmur of voices, the shuffle of feet as they moved about the camp. They were watching me now, but it was different. There was a new tension in the air, a mix of respect and fear that hadn’t been there before.I walked outside, the cool morning breeze brushing against my skin. Dante, Ezra, and Ryan were already awake, talking quietly near the edge of the camp. They looked up as I approached, their expressions unreadable.“Morning,” I said, trying to sound
Sliver POV Waking up with that joy in me and celebration within me. The alarm beside my bed woke me up at midnight sharp on my birthday morning which was so warm that the alarm didn't fail." Sliver Doe of the alpha pack is now plus one today" A loud music kept all my ears from outside my room making me feel so relaxed and happy that my friends knew the day I was born and kept me in my heart. I walked with so happiness within me and reached them with ways smiling face then it struck me again." I would get my mate today" I screeched out with happiness and joy. I hurried up put on my dress and first took my bath. When I was done with all female casual activities I walked through the staircase of the pack house with a smile of happiness and appreciation of what they displayed earlier. I was so amazed and flabbergasted by the gift that was coming in but still, the best gift I could get that day was me find a mate since my both best friends have mates I was so eager to get mine which st
Sliver POV" What if you ask the moon goddess for a mate since you are a friend to her?" Jane asked with a smile while busy arranging her dresses since it was our day for arranging our room. But still, her plan was great and big for me just that the moon goddess was our president and was always busy at all times even when we needed her."That's wonderful" I said as I wore a fancy dress and led myself and my friends to the balcony and said some encouraging words to myself "Wish me success ladies" I held onto both girls' hands before jumping down the balcony and transforming into a werewolf with a nice appearance. I ran through the thick bushes and the way leading to where the moon goddess stayed under the Moon and its space. I turned back to my human form and walked through the quiet space leading to her area." Hello,moon goddess" I walked into her space where she always stated at every time and moment. She kept looking back and not trying to reveal her face to me but that wasn't a

Chapter Six: The First BattleCrystal POVThe howls grew louder, closer, as the pack approached to my standing position. My heart pounded, my grip tightening on the silver dagger. I stood beside Alpha and his brothers, their presence grounding me as the power inside me pulsed up at once, almost eager to be unleashed."Remember, Crystal," Alpha said quietly, his voice low and controlled, distracting me of my Concentration. "You don't need to fear your power. Let it flow. Let it guide you on what to do."I nodded, my breath shallow. It was easier said than done.I had never had power or a wolf, never been in control of anything since my first day on earth. How was I supposed to wield something so raw, so dangerous, when I didn’t even understand how it works.The courtyard was bathed in moonlight, casting eerie shadows on the stone walls on us. The main tension in the air was electric, thick with anticipation. My ears picked up the rustling of footsteps—lots of them—closing in fas
Chapter Five: The AwakeningCrystal POVThe weight of his words hung high in the air, suffocating and impossible to escape. Is still not possible that I was The Lycan Queen.Me, of all whole wolves in the pack.It didn’t make any sense to me. None of it made equal sense to me. I couldn’t be some legendary ruler of the pack that hated me. I was barely surviving in this pack, bullied, ignored, and forgotten.But the look in the man with gray eyes told me he wasn’t joking. He truly believed it. And worse, there was a part of me, deep, deep inside, that wondered if it might be true or just a mere Story.“No,” I whispered, shaking my head, backing away from him, slowly. “I can’t just be.”“You are, Crysta,” he said firmly, his voice unwavering. “It’s in your blood, in your bones,in your flesh. You’ve felt it, haven’t you? The pull, the power? It’s been waiting for you to wake up.”I backed up until I hit the stone wall behind of me. My heart was pounding, my mind spinning with an
Chapter Four: Questions Without AnswersCrystal POVThe threemen’s words haunted me for days. “Afraid of what you might become.” What was I supposed to become in a pack when I am low classed? How could I be someone or something that people would fear? It didn’t make any sense to my own hearing. I was totally nothing in this new pack. Just a nobody wolf that everyone either ignored or despised.But now? Now they looked at me with suspicion, that was totally unreadable. Even more than before. The confrontation in the hallway had been the tipping point. The pack knew something was going on between we four, even if they couldn’t quite figure it out by themselves. And neither couldn't.*****A few days had passed since the incident with Cole and his lackeys, but the tension within the pack was thicker than ever and the tension was there was also high. The whispers had intensified, rumors swirling around me like a dark storm of the day. It just felt as if, everyone was watching me,
