The day began in an unsettling calm. The pack had spent weeks preparing for Vance’s inevitable attack, yet as the sun climbed higher in the sky, the eerie silence only heightened their anxiety. Kyla stood at the window of the pack house, her gaze fixed on the distant treeline. The forest seemed still, too still. Beside her, Damian studied the horizon, his body tense and ready for action.

The pack grounds were bustling with activity. Warriors were stationed at strategic points along the perimeter, and the younger wolves had been assigned to protect the elders and the children in the underground shelters. Everyone was on high alert, waiting for the first sign of danger.

“Kyla,” Damian said softly, pulling her attention away from the window. His voice was calm, but she could hear the underlying tension. “I need you to stay inside today. No matter what happens, promise me you’ll stay here.”

Kyla looked up at him, her heart pounding. “Damian, I want to help. I can’t just sit here while eve

    Kyla's coronary heart raced as she moved quickly down the street. Her lengthy brown hair bounced with every step, and her blue eyes sparkled with pleasure. Today became her 0.33 wedding anniversary with Alpha Asher, and he or she had the most excellent information ever."I can't wait to inform him," she whispered, moving her hand and then touching her flat tummy. The physician's words echoed in her mind: "Congratulations, you're pregnant!"As she neared the flowery motel which Asher said to satisfy him, Kyla's smile grew wider.

    Kyla's fingers shook as she folded her few closing clothes. The tiny maid's room felt like a prison, suffocating her with every passing 2nd. She couldn't stay right here, now not with Allison's threats placed over her head, no longer with the consistent reminder of Asher's betrayal.As she packed, her palms brushed in opposition to something strange. Frowning, Kyla pulled out a folded piece of paper she did not recognize. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the fashionable handwriting – it changed from Asher's grandmother, the vintage Luna who had selected Kyla as her successor.With trembling arms, Kyla opened up the word:wordsMy dear Kyla,**If you are studying this, things have gone extraordinarily incorrect. There are secrets in this , dangerous ones. Trust your heart, and consider – real electricity comes from inside. You're more potent than you realize.**Stay secure, my infant.**- Luna Evelyn"*Kyla examined the word twice, her mind racing. What secrets and techniques? What

    Kyla's heart raced as she stepped into the hallway. To her relief, it changed into empty. The scent of sparkling espresso and bacon drifted up from downstairs, making her belly growl.As she made her manner down, Kyla's thoughts changed into a whirlwind of thoughts. Should she agree with Damian? What if he found out about her being pregnant? What if Asher had dispatched human beings seeking out her?The bar turned quiet this morning, with just a few early buyers nursing coffees. In a corner sales space sat Damian, his extensive shoulders and confident posture drawing Kyla's eyes like a magnet.He appeared up as she approached, a heat smile spreading across his face. "Good morning, Kyla. Sleep nicely?"Kyla nodded, sliding into the booth throughout from him. "Thank you for the room. And... For now not asking questions."Damian's eyes softened. "Everyone has a tale. Some are just tougher to tell than others."As they ate breakfast, Kyla discovered herself enjoyable. Damian stored the co

    Kyla's coronary heart pounded as she stared at the face of her mysterious customer. It turned into Alpha Damian. The same man who had rejected her, who had dispatched her walking into the nighttime, became her... Proprietor?"You," Kyla whispered, her voice shaking with a mixture of alleviation and anger.Damian's face turned into unreadable as he led her out of the auction residence. "We need to go. Now."As they hurried through the dark streets, Kyla's thoughts raced. Why change into Damian here? Why had he offered her? And most significantly, did he recognize she became pregnant with every other man's baby?They reached a swish black automobile, and Damian opened the door for her. "Get in," he said, his voice gruff.The force turned into anxiety and silence. Kyla stared out the window, looking at surprising landscapes flying via.

    The hospital room crackled with tension. Kyla's coronary heart raced as she looked among Damian and Asher, two effective Alphas ready to clash.Damian moved protectively in front of Kyla. "She's no longer your Luna anymore, Asher. You rejected her, don't forget?"Asher's eyes flashed dangerously. "That was a mistake. I've come to take her home."Kyla observed her voice, weak but decided. "I'm not going anywhere with you, Asher."Both Alphas grew to come to take a look at her, wonder evident on their faces."Kyla," Asher said, his voice softening. "Please. I know I hurt you, but I've realized my mistake. Allison... She lied approximately the whole lot. There was no toddler. Come home, and we can begin over."Kyla felt a flicker of her old feelings for Asher, however, it became quickly extinguished by way of the memory of his cruelty. She shook her head. "No, Asher. You made your desire. You can not just undo that because Allison grew out to be a liar."Asher's face hardened. "I'm no lo

    The moon hung high in the night sky as Kyla sat on the porch of the pack house, her thoughts swirling like the wind through the trees. Inside, the pack leaders were still debating the situation. The revelation that someone in the pack might have betrayed them left a bitter taste in her mouth. Trust was already fragile after Asher’s unexpected return, and now this added another layer of uncertainty.Damian had taken charge, interrogating the warriors and leaders who had known about the mission, but so far, they had found nothing. Everyone claimed innocence, and the tension in the air had only grown thicker.Kyla’s hand instinctively rested on her belly as she stared out into the darkness. The medallion, now safely hidden in her room, pulsed with an energy she could still feel. The responsibility of protecting the artifact weighed heavily on her shoulders, and the fear of what could happen if it fell into the wrong hands kept her awake at night.Footsteps behind her broke the silence, a

    The fight in the forest was fierce, but Damian and the pack warriors managed to fend off the rogues long enough for them to retreat. Kyla stood in the aftermath, her heart still racing as she tried to catch her breath. The medallion was still safe in her bag, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that they were being watched.Damian approached her, his face etched with concern. “Are you sure you are okay?”Kyla nodded, though her hands were still shaking in fear and anxiety. “I’m fine. But we need to get out of here. Those rogues might come back with reinforcements.”Damian nodded in agreement. “We will head back right away to the pack and figure out our next move.”As they made their way back through the deep forest, Kyla couldn’t help but feel uneasy. The attack had been too well-timed, almost as if the rogues had known exactly where they would be. But how could they have known? Only a few members of the pack had been privy to the details of their mission, and Kyla had trusted them all

    The morning was crisp, with a thin layer of mist hanging over the pack’s territory. Kyla stood at the edge of the forest, staring into the thick trees that stretched far beyond what the eye could see. She could feel the weight of the task ahead pressing down on her. The search for the artifact had begun, and failure was not an option.Damian stood beside her, his hazel eyes scanning the treeline. Behind them, a small group of the pack’s best warriors were preparing for the journey. Each of them had been handpicked by Damian for their loyalty and skill. They were all aware of the dangers that awaited them, but none of them wavered.Kyla took a deep breath and looked up at Damian. “Are you sure we’re ready for this?”Damian nodded, though the lines of worry on his face told her that he was just as uncertain as she was. “We don’t have a choice, Kyla. We need to find that artifact before Vance does. It’s the only way to protect the pack.”Kyla nodded, her hand instinctively resting on her

    The room was still buzzing with nervous energy as Damian, Asher, and the pack’s top warriors gathered to discuss their next steps. Kyla stood near the door, feeling the weight of the room’s tension. She could see the distrust in the eyes of the pack members as they watched Asher closely. Despite his offer to help, the memories of his betrayal were still fresh in everyone’s minds.As the meeting continued, whispers broke out among the warriors. Some of them openly questioned Asher’s loyalty, and Kyla could hear fragments of their conversations.“Can we really trust him? After what he did to Kyla?”“What if he’s just using us to save his own skin?”“He’s dangerous. We should be careful.”Kyla’s stomach tightened as she listened to their doubts. She understood their concerns—Asher had hurt her more than anyone else. But she also knew that they couldn’t afford to let mistrust tear them apart when they were facing such a powerful enemy.Damian, sensing the growing unrest, raised his hand t

    The air in the pack’s meeting room was thick with tension. Damian stood at the head of the table, his expression calm but firm. Around him, pack members whispered in low voices, discussing the preparations for the upcoming battle. Kyla sat near the corner, her mind focused on the artifact and what it could mean for their survival. She absentmindedly rubbed her growing belly, feeling the weight of everything resting on her.Suddenly, the doors to the room burst open. Everyone turned to see a familiar figure standing in the doorway—Alpha Asher. Gasps echoed through the room as pack members recognized the former Alpha who had betrayed Kyla. His presence filled the space with an uncomfortable silence.“Asher,” Damian said, his voice low and cold. “What are you doing here?”Kyla’s heart raced as she looked at the man who had once been her mate, the father of her child. She hadn’t seen him since their confrontation in the hospital, and now, here he was, standing before them. She braced hers
