Twenty Seven Years Ago
BLOOD MOON PACKIt was a dark and stormy night, the kind that sent chills down your spine.The Blood Moon pack was being attacked by a rival pack, and the night was filled with the sounds of howling and yelping.There was fire and smoke everywhere, and it seemed like the whole world was going to end.Inside the pack den, little Shane could hear the fighting. He was huddled in a corner, his heart pounding in his chest. His father, George Mades, came over to him and put a hand on his shoulder."It's going to be okay, Shane," George said, his voice gentle but firm. "I need you to stay here and be brave. I promise I'll be back soon."But Shane couldn't stop crying. He was terrified, and he didn't want to be left alone. "Please don't leave me!" he sobbed. "I'm scared!" But George had to go. He was the alpha, and it was his duty to protect his pack.George knelt down and put his hands on Shane's shoulders. "Someday, you'll be the alpha," he said."You'll be the one who takes care of the pack. I need you to be strong for me, for all of us." He looked at Roy, who was standing nearby. "Roy, stay here with Shane. Keep him safe."With that, George turned and ran out into the battle. Shane struggled against Roy, trying to run after his father. But Roy held him back, his strong arms keeping him in place.***The battle raged on for hours, the rival demon wolves attacking with a ferocity that was terrifying. The Blood Moon pack was doing their best to fight back, but they were losing ground.And then, George Mades entered the fray. He was a fierce warrior, and he fought with a passion that was unmatched. He cut down wolf after wolf, his sword a blur of steel.And then, he faced the rival pack's leader. They fought for what seemed like an eternity, until finally, George struck the killing blow. But it was not without cost.With the death of their leader, the rival demon wolves started to retreat.But the victory was bittersweet, for George Mades lay dead on the battlefield. The Blood Moon pack mourned their fallen alpha, and all eyes turned to his young son, Shane.He was just a boy, and he had lost both of his parents. He sank to his knees, sobbing.How could this have happened? Why did it have to be him? Why couldn't he have saved his father?The grief and guilt were overwhelming.He kept wishing that he never should have let his father go.In the weeks and months that followed, Shane struggled to find his footing.His friend Roy did everything he could to help, but it was hard. Shane was still a child, and he had been thrust into a role that was too big for him.He felt overwhelmed, and he felt alone. He missed his parents, and he wondered how he could possibly fill their shoes. But he knew he had to try.The pack was depending on him, and he could not let them down.Shane's training was grueling, but he did not give up. He was flogged and bitten, but he endured it all. And after twenty-seven years, he was to be crowned the new alpha.It was a momentous occasion, but it was also bittersweet. Shane would never forget the sacrifices that had been made, and he would always carry the weight of that loss.All he knew was that he had to be strong, for the sake of his pack.^^^^^^^^^^^^^SHANE MEDES - 27 years old.The pack had spent weeks preparing for this day. The village was decorated with banners and flowers, and a large crowd had gathered to witness the coronation.In his chambers, Shane stood in front of a mirror, while his friend Roy helped him get dressed. Roy looked at Shane in the mirror, and a smile spread across his face."You look like a true alpha," he said. "I'm so proud of you."Shane returned the smile. "Thank you, my friend," he said. "I couldn't have done this without you.""You've come so far," Roy continued. "You've surpassed all my expectations, and you're going to be a great leader." He paused, and then added, "The only thing missing is a mate."Shane laughed. "I don't have time for that," he said. "I have a pack to lead."Just then, there was a knock at the door. Shane's sister, Lauren, entered the room. "It's time," she said.“Sister.” Shane eyes went watery. Lauren walked closer to him and held his face in her arm.“Im happy to what you’ve become.”Lauren gave Shane a kiss on the forehead, and then they left the chamber together.They made their way to the gathering place, where thousands of werewolves had assembled. The air was electric, filled with anticipation and excitement.As they approached the altar, Shane felt a rush of emotion. This was the moment he had been waiting for.The crowd roared as he stepped forward. There were at least a million werewolves present, all eager to see their new alpha. It was a moment of triumph, but also of humility."Shane's father, George, was a great alpha," the priest began. "He was fair and just, and he brought prosperity to our pack. He will be remembered forever, as one of the greatest leaders we have ever known." The crowd was silent, as they honored George's memory.After a moment, the priest turned to Shane. "Shane, you have been chosen to lead our pack. You will be stronger than your father, and you will achieve great things.Shane knelt, his head bowed, as the priest placed the crown on his head. The crowd began to sing a song of praise, their voices filling the air with joy and hope.The priest placed the crown on Shane head. When the song was over, Shane stood to his feet.The crowd all bowed before him, as he turned to them, their eyes full of adoration and respect.This was the moment he had been waiting for, the moment he had prepared for his whole life. He was ready to lead his pack into a new era."Now let us praise our new alpha!" the priest declared."Let us welcome him with a roar!" And the crowd erupted, a deafening sound that seemed to shake the earth itself.Shane stood tall, basking in the glory of the moment. He was the new alpha, and this was just the beginning.The news of Shane's ascension spread like wildfire, traveling through the werewolf world and into the human world.People whispered about him, his name on everyone's lips. They spoke of his achievements, his victories in battle, and his strength and wisdom.They said that no one should dare challenge him, for he was more powerful than any other alpha before him.It turned out to be true and those who challenged him asked were is infinity power came from.They whispered that he was a force to be reckoned with, and that his name would be remembered for generations to come.“The Strongest Alpha King! Without a weakness”Everyone prays it never change.(YEARS LATER)HARLEY STEVEN - Twenty years old^^^^^^^^^^^^ HARLEYI groaned as the shrill sound of my stepmother's voice pierced through the silence of the early morning, jolting me awake. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that my room was a disaster - clothes strewn across the floor, the bed unmade, and books and papers scattered everywhere."Harley!" my stepmother yelled again, her voice filled with irritation. "Get up!”"You're such a lazy girl!" my stepmother ranted, her words coming out in a rush. "You're always lying around, sleeping late and making a mess of your room! I've had it with you!"I sat up, my temper flaring. "It's not my fault I'm tired! You keep me up late every night, making me do all these stupid chores and errands!" I yelled back at her.There was a sudden silence, and then the door burst open, revealing my father's angry face. "How dare you talk back to your stepmother like that!" he bellowed. Before I could say anything, he had strode across the room and sl
HARLEY I felt like I couldn't breathe, and I ran out of the room and down the stairs, rushing out the front door and back to the cab I brought. I sat there, my heart pounding, trying to make sense of what I had just seen.What was Matt doing with my stepsister? We’re they just having sex? No way! - how could he do this to me?Matt ran out of the house, his shirt unbuttoned and his hair disheveled. I could see the shock on his face as he took in my expression, and he began to stammer out an apology. I cut him off, the rage building up inside me. "I thought you were different!" I yelled, tears welling up in my eyes. "I trusted you! And this is how you repay me?"Matt's face was a mask of confusion and pain. "Harley, please," he began, but I wasn't having any of it.As I was about to retort, Matt cut me off. "Stop acting like a child!" he shouted, his face red with anger. "You're not the only person in the world who matters! And besides, if you weren't so caught up in your own world, y
HARLEYI looked down at the man, taking in his handsome features. He had dark brown hair, squared jawline and his eyes were a piercing red.As I studied the man's face, I noticed a gash across his cheek, dried blood caked around it. His arms and legs were covered in bruises and scratches, and I could see the marks of claw lashes and fang bites along his back. How was he still alive from all this marks on his body?I was shocked by the state of him, and I wondered what had happened to him. I helped him onto the shore, and I sat him down on the rocks. He was still breathing, thank havens! but he was unconscious. I didn't know what to do, so I just sat there, staring at him. After thinking for a while, I lifted the man into my arms, carrying him as gently as I could. As I made my way back to the house, I heard rustling in the bushes behind me. I turned, trying to see what it was, but there was nothing there. I shook it off, maybe I was the one imagining things, and continued to carr
SHANEI could hear her heart racing, could feel her fear coursing through her veins. I wanted to soothe her, to tell her she had nothing to fear from me, but I knew that wouldn't be enough. I had already hurt her - not physically, but emotionally. I had hurt her, and now she was terrified of me. I could not blame her. I had to find a way to show her that I meant her no harm, but I did not know how. I did not know how to make things right.I stood up, feeling the energy of the full moon coursing through my body. I remembered the night it all began, the night I lost my throne. I remembered the betrayal, the pain, and the rage that had consumed me. I remembered the blood that had coated my body, and the darkness that had filled my soul.I walked down the long hallway, my bare feet feeling the cold stone floor. The curtains billowed in the wind, and the moonlight poured in through the windows, illuminating my scarred and blood-stained body.As I reached the end of the hallway, a figur
HARLEYI wake up, a sudden jolt of fear running through my body. The image of the man from last night is seared into my mind, and I can't shake the feeling of dread that has settled over me. I'm scared to leave my room, but I know I have to get up and face the day. As I sit up, I can feel my heart pounding in my chest. I know I have to face Juliet, and I'm terrified of what she'll say.As I open the door, I'm met with Juliet's furious glare. She's glaring at me, her face red with anger."What were you doing in the basement?" she demands, her voice icy. "You know you're not allowed down there. I told you to stay out."I try to speak, but the words get caught in my throat. I don't know what to say. I know I'm in trouble, and I'm afraid of what she'll do. "I'm sorry," I finally manage to say, my voice trembling. "I didn't mean to go down there. It was an accident."But Juliet isn't having it. "An accident?" she scoffs."Who was that man?" Juliet asks, her eyes narrowing. "And why did
HARLEY As he approaches me, I find myself backing up against the wall, my heart pounding in my chest. I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm going to pass out."You have no reason to be afraid," the man says, his voice soft and soothing. "You're the one who helped me. You're the reason I'm still alive.""What are you talking about?" I ask, my voice shaking. "I didn't help you. I don't even know you.""It's normal to help someone who is in need," I say, my voice trembling. "I would do it for anyone. I don't know why you're here, but please, don't hurt anyone. They're my family."The man just laughs, a cold, cruel laugh that sends a shiver down my spine. "You're a fool if you think they care about you," he says. "They're only interested in what you can do for them.""That's not true," I say, my voice rising in protest. "My family loves me. I know they do."The man's expression changes, and he looks at me with a strange intensity. "You may not realize it, but your heart knows the tru
HARLEY"I know that's not an excuse," he continues. "I hurt you, and I hate myself for that. But I want to make it up to you. I want to do whatever it takes to earn your trust again. I'll do anything, I swear."I look at him, my heart torn. I want to believe him, but I'm not sure I can. "I don't know if I can forgive you," I say, my voice barely a whisper. "I don't know if I can trust you again.""Just give me a chance," he says, his eyes pleading.Just then, the bell rings, startling me out of my thoughts. I look at the clock and realize that I'm going to be late for my next class. I gather up my books and rush out the door, leaving him standing there, a look of disappointment on his face.As I rush to class, I can't stop thinking about what he said. I'm still not sure if I can trust him, but I know I can't stop thinking about him. I'm not sure what to do, but I know that things can't go on like this. Something has to change.I take my seat in the back of the classroom, my head sp
HARLEY"What are you reading?" she asks, glancing at the cover of my book. "Oh, a werewolf romance," she says with a grin. "Are you a fan of the genre?"I feel my cheeks redden. "Well, I'm not really sure," I say, laughing a little. "I've never read anything like this before. I just picked it up because the cover looked interesting.""You should read it," Lauren says. "The story is really well-written, and the characters are complex and interesting. It's not just some cheesy romance novel.""The author really knows how to create suspense," Lauren continues. "I've been on the edge of my seat the whole time, wondering what's going to happen next. The main character, Lily, is so brave and determined, and the Alpha is so mysterious and intriguing. I just can't put the book down."As we chat, I start to relax. I'm surprised to find that Lauren and I have a lot in common. We both love reading, and we're both fascinated by fantasy worlds.Just then, the bell rings, signaling the end of the
