Dad’s voice was tight with anger as he confronted Alpha Matthew. “Why did the rogue pack attack us? We expelled Lorraine and her family from Ethereal Hunters Pack a long time ago. What could possibly be their motive?”Alpha Matthew’s expression was grim as he explained. “Lorraine had been spying on us. She orchestrated the attack, sending someone to sneak into our pack and poison one of our own.”Dad’s eyes widened in shock. “How did we miss that?”“It happened so quickly,” I interjected. “Jamien called us to the lab early in the morning to inform us that Julie Duke had been killed.”Dad turned his attention to Alpha Matthew. “And how did you sustain those injuries?”Alpha Matthew’s smile was fierce, a glimmer of pride shining in his eyes. “I fought for the Ethereal Hunters with all my heart. I will always protect this pack, no matter what.”The tension in the room was palpable as we all processed the implications of Lorraine’s attack us.I couldn’t believe it. Lorraine, someone who w

10 months later... As the threats continued to loom, Moon Goddess always provided a way out. I found some peace in my life with Alpha Matthew in the months that followed, enjoying our time together while rebuilding the ties between Highcrown Walkers and Ethereal Hunters. The two great packs had become once again, creating a powerful force in the werewolf world.This month was particularly joyous as Hannah gave birth to a pair of adorable twin babies, a boy, and a girl. Although she may have had her doubts about Jake and Troy before, her face now lit up with happiness at the sight of her new family.I could tell that Jamien was in love with Jeno by the way he looked at him, his eyes filled with tenderness and adoration. And although I couldn’t comment on whether or not they were destined to be together, their body language and tone of voice made it clear that they were truly in love.Troy had married a beautiful girl named Carmen who worked at a hospital in Highcrown Walkers Pack. The

I asked Dr. Gomez with a worried look, “What’s happening?”“It seems like your baby needs to be hospitalized for a longer time. She’s having difficulty breathing, but we haven’t concluded what’s causing it,” replied Dr. Gomez.I was stunned and scared. I looked at Violet with a sense of fear, and Alpha Matthew comforted me by placing his hand on my shoulder. “Besides, you need to be taken care of here, mate. It’s okay, this is for Violet’s well-being. We can endure staying here for a few more days,” he said.“What else will happen, mate?” I whimpered sadly.“Oh, mate. Trust me, everything will be fine,” Alpha Matthew reassured me.I heard the beeping of machines and the murmurs of nurses, and the smell of antiseptic filled my nose. I could feel the cold hospital air on my skin, and my heart raced with anxiety. I was on the verge of tears, but I tried to hold them back.I watched as Dr. Gomez checked Violet’s vital signs and adjusted her oxygen tube. I saw Alpha Matthew’s worried expre

As we settled into the cozy living room, Daniel and Jayden shared their stories of survival and adventure. I couldn’t help but feel grateful for their presence and their willingness to come all this way to see me.As we sat at the table, listening to Daniel’s story, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe. He had survived the ugly monster, a creature that had terrorized our pack for years. And now, here he was, sitting with us, alive and well. “How did you survive?” Troy asked Hayden and Daniel. Troy’s question hung in the air, and all eyes turned to Hayden and Daniel, waiting for their answer. Daniel’s chuckle broke the silence, but his response did little to satisfy Troy’s curiosity. “I managed to lay low and fly under the radar by hiding in plain sight, like a needle in a haystack,” he said, and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at his nonchalant tone.But Troy wasn’t satisfied. “I’m serious,” he pressed. “How did you guys escape from that monster?”Hayden took a deep breath bef

7 Years Later…Alpha Matthew stood with his arms crossed, watching as Violet struggled to load the crossbow. “Come on, Violet, you can do better than that,” he said, urging her to try again.Lauryn walked over, holding a tray of melon slices. “Here, sweetie, have some fruit. You look exhausted,” she said, offering Violet a slice.Alpha Matthew looked up, a hint of annoyance in his voice. “Lauryn, you’re spoiling her. She needs to learn to push through exhaustion if she wants to be a true warrior.”Lauryn sighed. “But she’s still so young, Alpha. There’s nothing wrong with taking a break after eight hours of training.”“I’m not saying there is, but she needs to toughen up if she wants to survive out there,” Alpha Matthew replied, gesturing towards the forest beyond their home.Violet took a slice of melon and nibbled on it, catching her breath. “Daddy, can we stop for today? I’m tired,” she said, looking up at him with pleading eyes.Alpha Matthew hesitated for a moment before relen
