IN FAITH'S PACKThe air hummed with anticipation as the members of the community bustled about, each engaged in their own task to prepare for the momentous event that was about to unfold. Colorful banners adorned the streets, and laughter and joyful chatter filled the air, a stark contrast to the years of darkness they had endured.Faith's parents returned to their pack as the true leader.In the heart of the gathering, a stage had been erected, draped in rich fabrics and adorned with intricate designs that reflected the history and resilience of their people. A feeling of unity and camaraderie infused the atmosphere as people of all ages worked side by side, preparing for the long-awaited celebration.A group of children adorned with flowers dashed around, their giggles like musical notes in the breeze. The older generation shared stories of the past, their faces reflecting a mix of nostalgia and hope for the future. Every step, every decoration, was a testament to their undying loya
4 YEARS LATERFaith was in the kitchen busy making the evening snacks for the kids. It was a nice evening. Her whole family has come to visit her. There was Steven and Thea as well along with their children. When all the kids met together, they started shouting at once that they wanted food cooked by her only. Everyone has different demands. They have a leader though.Ethan, Echo, Steven and Thea's three years old daughter Natasha and two years old son Max. They started to clap their hands to support each other. And Faith has a big baby too. Steven! The leader of the group. Who is not leaving any effort to spoil the kids."Need any help there, queen?" Steven asked, entering the kitchen while biting on an apple.Almost four more years of their life had passed off. Ethan and Echo's seventh birthday was coming near and Kendrick, Faith, Steven and Thea had all geared up for preparations.Ethan and Echo were the two jewels of everyone's eyes. Natasha and Max coming into this family made t
FOUR DAYS AGO"Faith! Where are you, Faith?" Faith heard someone calling her but the tone was filled with terror and worry which scared her. Faith, who was very tired and had just fallen asleep after a really exhausting day of work, woke up hurriedly and lit the lighter on from the kitchen counter. She sleeps in the kitchen. So, she didn't dare to turn on the light to get into some new trouble."Erin? What are you doing here at this time? You are going to get in trouble if you are caught talking to me at this time of the night!" Faith whisper shouted at Erin, her only well-wisher of this pack. She was an omega as well. Erin looked scared and it scared her as well."Faith, you didn't hear anything that's happening outside?!" Erin whispered with a frown and that's when Faith realised that there were many noises coming from outside. "I was very tired and fell into a deep sleep, so I didn't hear anything. What's happening? Are we under an attack?!" Faith asked in fear as she looked down
THREE DAYS LATER"Wh...why aren't you... eating?" Faith asked in a meek tone while eyeing the knocked over food on the dirty ground of the cell from the small looking glass. For the past three days, she has come to deliver food to this prisoner every day, but he has never eaten a bite,"I.. it's been three days... Yo...you will die...if you do... don't eat anything..." She said slowly and in a fearful tone, not wanting to anger the beast. A beast is a beast, injured or not. Even though she was scared of him, she knew he couldn't do much. He could hardly move a muscle as his whole body was filled with deadly wolfsbane. He couldn't heal himself because of that. Also, Jackson comes at every night to torture him to put him back to his previous state. So, in this state, he would really die if he didn't eat. "Isn't that what you want? For me to die?" The man spoke up to her for the first time in three days and she felt as if an unexplainable shiver ran through her spine. That voice..."No
"She's going to die if we beat her more than this now." One of the guards said to his partner while looking at the heavily injured omega of their pack. Faith was her name and just like her name, she had full faith on the moon goddess that she wouldn't do such injustice to her. Faith was chained and hung up with her hands above her head. Her feet could barely touch the ground. The old clothes she was wearing were torn, and the wounds caused by the whipping could be seen. Some of the blood had dried, forming a dark red stain on the clothes."What a shameless cunning bitch! She is dying but still isn't telling the truth!" Another guard snapped at her while looking at her in disgust. He looked as if he wanted to kill her. He spit at her. She couldn't flinch even though she wanted to. She didn't have the energy to flinch. She was numb. She couldn't feel her limbs. She was hardly breathing and she felt as if her ribs were breaking into pieces with every whiff of air she was getting inside
"Faith...Faith... Can you hear me? Wake up... Faith!" Faith opened her eyes slowly after hearing Erin's voice and found her looking at her through the looking glass. She slowly got up and ran toward the glass in shock."E... Erin... Erin! What are you doing here?! The..they are going to punish you as well if they find you here!" She shrieked out loudly in fear. "Shh, Faith! They won't find out. The guard outside is my mate and he has given me his word." Erin spoke up in an assuring tone while looking around."What are you doing here, Erin? And... and how's Echo? Where is she?" Faith cried out as she was desperate to get a small glance of her lovely baby. "Echo is with me currently. She's sleeping and she has a little fever as well." Erin said while looking down at her arms. Faith's eyes widened after hearing Erin. "Fever? How? why?" She freaked out, desperate to take her daughter in her arms to soothe all her pain. Erin quickly opened the door and gave Echo to her."We don't have
A FEW HOURS LATER "Why isn't she waking up? It's been hours already!" Kendrick asked, desperation clear in his voice. His eyes didn't move from Faith's tired and exhausted face. She looked pale at that moment. She wasn't recovering that well even though he was sitting beside her and holding her hands. "I…I.. I think it's the potion she had, my king…it's a potion made by a witch to control her mind. It took all her energy. Also…" The doctor stuttered, as if unsure if he should continue. That took Kendrick's attention and he moved his eyes on the doctor. "Also what?!" He growled, urging him to reveal whatever it is he was so reluctant to reveal. His eyes were glowing black, ready to rip the doctor off. "I…I think she doesn't have a wolf, my king… that's why she's taking time to recover on her own." Words tumbled out of the doctor’s mouth in a stutter, making Kendrick look at him with a deep frown. He didn't believe the doctor. "What the fuck do you mean by she doesn't have a wolf?
IN THE DUNGEON"Stop fucking laughing!" Kendrick growled, trying to control his anger. He wanted nothing more than to kill Jackson but death was too easy of a punishment. He was enraged knowing his mate had a baby, A child that was not his, and that wasn’t something any wolf or Lycan takes lightly. The mate bond meant everything to them, and although he couldn’t change the past, he had the opportunity to get his revenge on the person who’s responsible for everything that has gone wrong."I think I am going to continue laughing because that seems to irritate you." Jackson wanted to get on Kendrick’s nerves, and by the looks of it he was succeeding."Then I am going to continue to beat you until you stop laughing." He prepared to continue Jackson’s punishment. All he wanted was for Jackson to shut up and take his punishment as he got whipped. If anything he wanted him to beg for death as he continued to torment him for everything he’s done."What happened? Why is the mighty Lycan so up
