LARA

Ever since Magnus arrived home from work, I sensed a strange shift in his behavior towards me. He didn't even recognize me when he saw me overseeing the new trainees in the villa's expansive grounds. He just glanced at me without even smiling. He just went straight to the room, so I decided to follow him.

"Magnus, are you okay? Why do you seem so down?" I asked, expressing my concern.

"I'm fine," he replied curtly.

I thought, maybe he was just tired from work, especially that he was still adjusting to his new responsibilities in their business. And perhaps he had a lot on his mind regarding the pack's management. I thought of giving him enough time to rest.

However, when I woke up around one in the morning, I noticed he was not on my side. I left the room, thinking he might be on the terrace. I searched the entire villa, but he was nowhere to be found. The surroundings were quiet, with only the guards doing their hourly roving.

I tried calling his cellphone, but he was not picking

    LARAI stayed at my pack's villa for several hours but I requested Alpha Callum not to disclose our conversation with Dad and Mom, afraid that Dad might confront Magnus, leading to turmoil between our packs. I don't want to jeopardize the whole Tribiano over my marital issues."How are you getting along with your husband, sweetie?" Dad asked while we were having our lunch."It's fine, Dad," I lied."Are you certain about that? Tomorrow is the schedule of the full moon, and I hope your husband will finally commit to the mate bond and put you with a red mark," Dad said earnestly."Yes, I share the same hope, especially with the potential threat of rogues or vampires attacking the town," Mom chimed in, voicing her concerns, while Alpha Callum remained silent, engrossed in his meal."Lara, the significance of fully embracing the mate bond is for both of you to share each other's power and strength to safeguard the packs under your care," Dad explained.While I understood his reasoning, it

    LARATears welled up in my eyes upon discovering the painful truth about my past. I hurriedly left the villa without knowing where to go. I heard Alpha Callum's voice calling out my name, but I did not pay attention. I just continued driving until I reached a certain bar outside Tribiano.Once I found a seat, I immediately ordered a bottle of alcoholic beverage and consumed it in one gulp. I ordered another one, and then a third, a fourth, until I had emptied my fifth bottle. I preferred drowning myself in alcohol to deal with the truth I had just discovered. Magnus held hatred towards my father, mirroring the same sentiment I harbored for his mother. He also resented me, and I loathed him even more.Suddenly, three men approached me like they wanted to join my table. I couldn't smell their wolf scent, indicating they were pure humans. As soon as the music filled the air, they invited me to dance. Seeking to escape from my troubles, I joined them, showcasing my dance skills in rhythm w

    MAGNUSEven now, I couldn't imagine that Lara was related to the man I resented all my life. I muttered curses under my breath as I placed the necessary documents on the table. Despite Alex's advice not to implicate Lara in her father's wrongdoing, I couldn't resist directing my anger towards her.Suddenly, my phone rang. I hurriedly picked it up even though the number was not familiar, for I thought it could be a business-related matter."Hello, Alpha Magnus?" a man's voice spoke from the other line. "Yes, who is this, please?" I asked with curiosity."This is Alpha Callum. I just wanted to inform you that Lara was out of reach. She was at the villa earlier, but after talking with Daddy and Mommy, she left in a car. As her husband, I presume you have the right to find her," he informed me.I was momentarily speechless. In my mind, she could go wherever she wanted to, even in hell. "That's all I wanted to convey, Alpha Magnus," Alpha Callum said firmly before pressing the end call b

    MAGNUSIt had become a regular tradition for the Silvercrest Pack to hold a banquet at the villa during the Lunar phase, inviting the Yellow Stone Pack and the Shadow Pack. Amidst the bustling preparations, I pondered the events that lay ahead. But whatever the outcome, I was determined to proceed with my decision to entirely remove Lara from my life. It seemed to be the most rational decision rather than staying together with mutual animosity. Conflicting emotions stirred inside me as time went on. One part of my mind deemed my decision logical, while my heart opposed it, giving me a warning that it would endanger Lara's life. Despite my heart's reservations, I opted to heed the rational perspective of my mind, as it seemed to hold the truth that my heart couldn't perceive. Eight in the evening and everyone already convened in the banquet hall of the Silvercrest Pack. While waiting for the moon to reach its peak, they indulged in eating, drinking, and dancing.

    MAGNUS Five days had passed since the incident, and Lara remained unconscious, as my father had predicted. He mentioned she would stay in that state until her eventual demise. I could sense everyone was silently displeased by what I did, yet, they were unable to voice out their disdain as I was their leader. A sense of emptiness consumed me and all I wanted was to remain in the villa, yet my obligations in the company compelled me to do otherwise. I could sense my strength slipping away gradually and definitely it was due to the mate bond rejection. I pondered how I could continue to lead the pack when my strength was waning. However, as the sole Alpha from the elite class, I questioned who else could take on the role. Despite being aware that I was merely an adopted son, everyone recognized the blood tie between me and my father. And since Dad, had no family of his own, I stood as the sole heir to lead the three packs. As I was engrossed in work at the office, my phone unexpected

My longing for Lara grew stronger, and I prayed for the Moon Goddess to give me a second chance to correct my mistakes and reunite with my wife. I was just relieved Dad had forgiven me after I begged for his mercy. However, I still felt uneasy contemplating how to awaken Lara from her unconscious state.Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by Savana's call. I tried to ignore her, but my phone kept ringing."Yes, Savana," I casually replied."Maybe we can be together Magnus, now that Lara is gone. I can be a good wife to you.""Shut up. Lara is still alive." I retorted, trying to be calm."So, you still hope for Lara's return? I thought you wanted her out of your life, that's why you rejected the mate bond, right?""Well yes, and that's the biggest mistake I've made in my life. Don't bother me anymore. I don't have any special relationship with you," I said candidly."But I lov

So without any second thought, I spoke in response to his message. "I, Lara Jade of the Yellow Stone Pack, accepted Magnus' termination of the mate bond, thus nullifying our marital unions."

The air crackled with dark magic, but Lara's resolve remained unshaken. She was driven not only by her love for her family but by the unyielding belief that good would always triumph over evil. Her heart beat faster as she recalled the words of the Wolf Healer from her dream, telling her that the power to defeat Thana lay within her.As she dodged Thana's swift attack, Lara caught a fleeting glimpse of the wedding ring on her finger.

The Wolf Healer’s voice echoed in her mind.When Thana lunged again, her claws poised to strike, Lara tripped and fell hard onto the cold, rocky ground.

    Lara had spent three agonizing, sleepless nights by the side of her husband and son's lifeless bodies, refusing to leave them even for a moment. Their once-warm faces were now cold and still, yet she couldn't bring herself to believe they were truly gone. The pain was unbearable, gnawing at her soul, but her denial ran deeper. The entire town of Tribiano shared in her mourning; whispers of grief echoed through the streets, and the wolves howled in sorrow for the loss of their Alpha and his heir.But Lara would not let them be buried. Not yet. She wasn't ready to say goodbye. She sat by their side, her eyes hollow, the weight of loss pressing down on her chest. Her heart still clung to the smallest shred of hope, a whisper that perhaps this was all a nightmare she would soon wake from. The thought of moving on without them, of continuing life alone, was unimaginable.Exhaustion finally caught up with her.

    Lara slowly regained consciousness, her eyelids fluttering open as a dull ache pulsed through her body. The sterile smell of antiseptic filled her nostrils, and the faint hum of machinery buzzed in the background. Her vision was blurry at first, but as her senses sharpened, she realized she was lying on a cold metal bed inside the infirmary of Tribiano. White walls and the soft glow of fluorescent lights above cast a sterile, almost haunting ambiance around her.It took several moments before the fog in her mind began to clear. She blinked, her breath quickening as fragmented memories came rushing back—flashes of Magnus, the battle, and, most of all, the dark figure of Thana taking her son's life.Her heart leaped in her chest as panic set in"Where is Magnus? I want to see him!" she rasped, her throat dry, the words barely audible. She tried to sit up, her body trembling with weakness, but a sharp pain in her ribs forced her back down. Her head spun, but her desperation overpowered th

    Everything had yet to fully register in Lara’s mind. It felt as if the world had come crashing down around her. Magnus, her husband, her mate, was now lying lifeless in her lap, his body cold, his once-strong heartbeat silenced forever. The grief was overwhelming, suffocating her. How could she ever accept that he was truly gone? The love of her life, taken from her in a heartbeat. Her heart shattered, and she felt like she was sinking into a void of despair. Nothing mattered anymore.Around her, the sounds of battle raged on. Her warriors fought fiercely against Thana's minions, but the noise barely penetrated her fog of mourning. She was numb to it all, lost in the devastation of Magnus’s death. Everything else faded into the background. It was as if the world had come to a stop, except for the aching void in her heart.But even in her grief, danger loomed. Cyrus, the one who had driven the blade into Magnus’s heart, stood not far from her. Unbeknownst to Lara, he had raised his weap

    With Magnus by her side, Lara felt a surge of renewed energy coursing through her veins, her strength reigniting like a wildfire. Magnus handed Lara the ancient blade. Its silver edge shimmered with a soft glow beneath the radiant moonlight. The intense battle began in a violent clash of power and fury. Magnus, with his fierce wolf instincts and unparalleled combat prowess, charged at Cyrus, the ruthless commander of Thana's dark army. Their claws met in a deadly dance of strength, each move calculated yet savage. The ground beneath them shook as they exchanged blows, their growls echoing through the forest like thunder. Cyrus, a formidable opponent, wielded dark magic in tandem with his brute strength, but Magnus’s determination was fueled by something far stronger—his love for Lara and the need to save their son. However, a troubling thought crossed Magnus's mind. What if Thana had left Ethan in the past while transporting them into the future? The idea gnawed at him, deepening hi

    An hour had passed, and the moon now hung fully in the sky, its pale light casting a ghostly glow across the clearing. The silvery beams seemed sharper, more menacing, illuminating every shadow with an unsettling clarity. The air felt heavy with power, thick and charged with an unnatural energy that made the hair on Lara's arms stand on end.Thana’s minions, creatures born of darkness and ancient curses, stirred from the edges of the clearing. Their twisted forms emerged from the shadows, hunched and grotesque, their eyes gleaming with a sickly yellow light. They moved like shadows themselves, their elongated limbs barely making a sound as they gathered in a wide circle around the altar where Lara lay bound. The eerie quiet that had lingered over the clearing was shattered by their sudden, discordant noise—a grotesque symphony of guttural growls, snarls, and hisses.It was as if they were celebrating the arrival of the full moon, their voices rising in twisted, manic glee. They swayed

    One hour before the moon reached its peak, the sound of the heavy door creaking open echoed through the cold chamber. The air grew thick with an ominous energy as two shadowy figures approached. Without warning, rough hands grabbed Lara, yanking her from the cold stone floor. Her heart raced as she was dragged out of the chamber, the clinking of chains around her wrists growing louder with each step. She could feel the biting cold of the iron shackles against her skin, already bruised from earlier struggles.Outside, the chilling night air hit her face, carrying with it a scent of damp earth and decaying leaves. The open space of Thana’s dwelling stretched out before her—an ancient, desolate clearing surrounded by towering black trees, their twisted branches clawing at the sky. In the center stood a large, stone altar—a wide rectangular table carved with dark runes that pulsed with malevolent energy.Lara was thrown onto the table with brutal force, her back hitting the cold stone as

    Magnus and his companions stood among the lifeless bodies of Thana’s fallen minions, their breathing heavy, muscles tensed with the aftermath of battle. Blood and dirt clung to their armor, but they stood victorious—yet Magnus’s heart was far from settled. His eyes scanned the thick, twisted forest, searching desperately for the dark whirlwind that was said to be the entrance to Thana’s ominous dwelling. Time was running out, and every second spent searching was another moment Lara remained in danger.The dense forest was unnervingly silent now, only the rustle of leaves underfoot and the faint crackle of energy from the magic that still lingered in the air. Magnus’s thoughts raced as they moved through the shadowy terrain, his mind a storm of worry for Lara. Every passing second without finding her gnawed at his soul. He knew Thana was preparing to carry out her evil plan, and if they didn’t find the entrance soon, it would be too late.Suddenly, a faint gust of wind brushed past him
