MAGNUSAs midnight approached, Lara had already fallen asleep, while I lay awake with thoughts racing through my mind. Anxious thoughts consumed me as I pondered the events that would possibly unfold during our upcoming attack on the vampires' lair.I rose and gazed out through the window, my hands tucked in my pockets. The void left by my father's absence lingered within me. I longed for his presence to offer guidance on how to lead the pack effectively. Besides, Alex was not here by my side to boost my morale, and despite Lara's presence, I hesitated to burden her further, considering she was gone from an accident.Another troubling thought was that my strength as an Alpha had not fully returned yet, due to the grave mistake I committed against Lara. She even proposed that I mark her with red to regain my formidable strength. However, this ritual could only be done during a full moon, and I couldn't delay that moment any further as my concerns were primarily focused on Alex's well-b
LARAI felt anxious as Magnus embarked towards the vampire's hideout. Despite having my brother, Alpha Callum, and numerous skilled Beta and Gamma warriors by his side, I couldn't shake off my concern for him, knowing he had not fully recovered his strength. I wished to accompany him, but he refused, deeming it too dangerous for a woman like me to partake in such a dangerous attack.I paced restlessly in the room, frequently glancing at my watch. My heart filled with anxiety for I was certain he wasn't just up against vampires but also the rogues.The intense anxiety remained as I headed to the terrace. While I was thinking about Magnus' situation, suddenly I remembered the wedding ring that vanished on my finger. It was evident someone took it while I was at the Infirmary. Another thing was the inexplicable disappearance of the red mark that Magnus put on me. I took a deep breath as questions swirled in my mind.The sun began to set, yet, there was still no sign of Magnus. The night
LARAWe had walked a significant distance, yet we still couldn't find the forest lines surrounded by the streams as directed by the wolf healer. I was almost out of breath, with my body feeling drained. However, I couldn't afford to stop, as Magnus' life was at stake. The darkness fell, and I felt the cool breeze on my skin. The chirping of birds in the forest filled the air. Alpha Callum and I continued walking, wanting to reach the location of the antidote I needed to save Magnus from the poison that was coursing through his veins.The stars illuminated our path as we journeyed, as there was no moon in sight. Despite their dimness, our keen night vision proved invaluable."Are you okay, Lara?" Alpha Callum asked with concern."I'm fine, bro. How about you?""Don't worry about me, sis. I'm accustomed to walking long distances. It's part of our training," he replied."Let's rest for a while," he suggested, as he was worried about me.We briefly stopped walking, but we sharpened our se
MAGNUSAn intense hunger and thirst woke me up from a deep slumber. I looked around, but everything seemed blurry."You're safe now, Alpha Magnus."It was a man's voice, but I could not recognize him since his face seemed obscure."Where am I?" I curiously asked."You're now in your room, dude," a man responded. I immediately recognized him, although I could not see his face clearly as no one called me like that except my best friend."Alex, dude!" I exclaimed."It's me, dude. I am relieved now that you are out of danger," he said, giving me a tight hug."I'm hungry and thirsty," I murmured, rolling my eyes as I realized that I was in my room.Shortly after, a tray of food was brought in, and I eagerly devoured it as if I hadn't eaten in years. After I finished eating, the whole area brightened up, and I began to recall everything that happened. My gaze landed on Alpha Callum, sitting in one corner, leaning against the wall. He showed a sullen look, and it seemed he was contemplating
LARAI felt relieved when the vampires stopped pursuing Alpha Callum. My own fate in the hands of the enemies did not matter to me at all, as long as Magnus would be saved. I could sense my brother's reluctance to leave me behind, but as the Luna of the Silvercrest Pack, he had no other choice but to obey my order. I hoped it wasn't too late to give Magnus the antidote and that my brother would reach the villa in time.The vampires brought me to their hideout and placed me in a prison cell. While I was thinking about Magnus' condition, a female vampire appeared out of nowhere. She had a pale complexion with flawless, almost transparent skin. Her eyes were captivating and intense, adding to her striking and captivating presence. Her beauty was both enchanting and slightly unsettling, leading me to believe she was a vampire princess. But the moment I looked into her eyes, I could feel a sense of familiarity."Savana?" I exclaimed, a little hesitant. The woman chuckled as she hissed, sh
MAGNUS"Who are you? You're not my wife!" I exclaimed."Magnus, what are you saying? I am Lara," she responded softly, gazing deeply into my eyes."Can't you see this?" she asked, showing a wedding ring on her finger. "Would it fit me if I weren't your wife?"I shook my head. "Where did you find it?" I asked curiously."I discovered it at the entrance gate of the villa when I returned after obtaining the jewelweed plant," she explained."Magnus, I understand why you're feeling this way. You're not yet completely healed. But please don't doubt my identity, as it hurts me," Lara sobbed gently.I could sense the sincerity in her eyes, but my heart hesitated to trust her completely, something that baffled me."I'm sorry, Lara. You're right. I am still recovering.""It's alright, Magnus," she said, planting a kiss on me. She started our physical intimacy, however, my sexual desire for her suddenly waned, leaving me puzzled by a sudden change."I'm going to rest now, Lara. Goodnight," I sai
LARAI remembered that today marked the full moon, and as per tradition, the villa would host a banquet in honor of the Moon Goddess. Thoughts raced through my mind about what would happen later, when the moon reached its peak. If Savana succeeded in her deceit, Magnus would surely put a red mark on her that would drain all his strength. He would become a powerless Alpha, leaving the three packs without a leader and vulnerable to potential downfall. Rider Storm could then advance his schemes unimpeded.However, before it would happen, I needed to devise a plan to escape before the full moon arrived."Lara, my love, have you already made up your mind? Will you agree to stay by my side and become my Luna?" Rider asked after appearing unexpectedly."Yes, Rider, I agree to stay with you. I anticipate that once Magnus discovers Savana's presence, he will put a red mark on her, believing her to be me. And Magnus will become weak and useless," I responded, feigning sincerity. I endeavored to
MAGNUSLara and I proceeded together to the banquet hall, and everyone greeted us with respect. All the women directed their gaze towards Lara, and I could feel the envy in their looks, particularly from those women I had once shared in bed. Lara just smiled, feeling a sense of pride in herself while enjoying the attention and reactions from others."Hello, darling, you look stunning as ever!" Alpha Damian praised as he gave Lara a gentle hug. Minerva also greeted her with a kiss on her cheek."You look so happy, sweetie. I can see it in your eyes," Minerva remarked."Indeed, Mom. Magnus is now out of danger and I have safely returned to the villa," Lara smiled tenderly as she put her arm on my shoulder. While I remained silent and chose not to give any word.My eyes roamed around, and I spotted Alex sitting in one corner, sipping a glass of wine."Excuse me, Lara, I leave you for a while. I need to talk to my friend. Please excuse me Alpha Damian, Minerva," I said, as I went my way t
