Drake“Hey, you,” he said, his voice firm and commanding. I turned, confused, unsure who he was talking to. “Me?” I asked, pointing to myself. “Yes, you,” he replied, his gaze intense. I felt a flush of heat rise to my cheeks, and I tried to swallow the sudden dryness in my throat. “I need to talk to you,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. I nodded, my mind racing with questions, my heart beating wildly.As I approached him, I wondered what he wanted to say. What did Charles want with me? I held my breath, my heart pounding in my chest. As I got closer, I was visibly nervous, fidgeting with my hands. What did he want to tell me? I couldn't help but wonder if he knew where I was from, if he knew about my past. I prayed to the Moon Goddess, hoping that he wouldn't ask about it. I had worked so hard to keep my identity a secret, and I would rather not jeopardize that now.He looked at me, his eyes scanning my face. “You look new here,” he said, his voice low and steady

DrakeA beam of sunlight suddenly streamed through the window, hitting me directly in the face. I squinted and blinked, trying to adjust to the sudden brightness. As my eyes adjusted, I saw a figure standing in front of me. I let out a silent hiss, realizing that it was our Master, the one I had been avoiding for so long. I felt a surge of panic, but I forced myself to remain calm. After all, I had made it this far, and I couldn't let my fear get the best of me.“Alpha Charles demands all of your presence now!” he screamed at us, his voice booming throughout the room. I smiled inwardly, knowing that this was the moment I had been waiting for. “Why are you smiling?” Jake whispered, confusion in his voice. “I finally did it,” I said, unable to contain my excitement. “What did you do?” he asked, his eyes wide with curiosity. “You will see,” I replied, savoring the look of bewilderment on his face.“There's no time for discussion,” the old man said, his tone clarifying that he was no

DrakeAs he continued to stare at me, I felt a flush of heat rising in my cheeks and I looked away, unable to hold his gaze. I heard him and Lucas exchange a few words, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. The only thing I could hear clearly was Charles saying, “Are you sure he's the only one?” What were they talking about? Were they talking about me? I felt my heart pounding in my chest, and I knew I had to find out what was going on.After a few long, tense moments, they stopped talking and looked at me, their expressions serious and unreadable. I could feel my heart racing in my chest, but I forced a smile, trying to look calm and composed. I had no idea what was going on in their mind, and I was afraid of what they might say next. My mind was racing, trying to come up with possible explanations for what was happening, but I couldn't think of anything. I was just frozen, waiting for them to speak.“Since you are new here, and you have no friends in the pack,” Charles sa

DrakeThe door flung open, and I shifted my gaze towards the door and standing before me was Jake who was smiling, but his countenance changed to that of worry when he noticed the distress etched on my face.“What's going on?” he asked, his brow furrowed with concern. I looked up at him, my eyes filling with pain. “I can't connect to Zelda,” I said, my voice cracking. “I'm afraid my pack and the Palace might be in danger.” He sat down next to me, placing a hand on my shoulder. “I know it's hard, but try to relax,” he said gently. “Let's take a deep breath and try to figure this out, okay?” I nodded, trying to steady my breathing.I nodded, but I couldn't shake the feeling of dread that had settled in the pit of my stomach. My people... my pack... were family to me, and the thought of something happening to them made my heart ache. And Zelda - the thought of her being in danger made my blood run cold. I felt my hands trembling as I tried to take a deep breath, but it caught in my th

DrakeMy heart was pounding in my chest as I scrambled under the bed. I held my breath, praying that Charles wouldn't find me. Then, I heard his voice. “Who's there?” he demanded. I stayed perfectly still, not daring to breathe. But it was no use. I could hear his footsteps getting closer. “Guard! Guard!” he screamed. I closed my eyes, my heart racing. Any moment now, the guards would come running. I was trapped, and there was nothing I could do.“He went to use the bathroom and asked me to stay behind,” I heard a voice say and I knew it was Jake's voice Okay, watch out, I heard a sound,” Charles said, his voice quivering.“I mistakenly hit something,” Jake lied.“You can go,” Charles whispered, his voice hushed. Then I heard the door to the room open and close. I stayed frozen underneath the bed, not knowing what to do. I didn't know whether Charles was still awake or not. I could hear my heartbeat, echoing in my ears. Minutes passed, but it felt like hours. I was beginning to
