The soft knock on the door pulled Rachael's attention away from her thoughts, and she looked up to see the maid standing in the doorway, her hands clasped nervously."Luna Rachael, Arya is here," the maid said, her voice barely above a whisper.Rachael nodded. "Thank you, please bring her in."The maid bowed slightly and disappeared, returning moments later with Arya trailing behind her. Arya's face was etched with worry as she stepped into the room, her eyes immediately locking onto Rachael."Rachael, what's wrong? Is everything okay?" Arya asked, her voice tinged with concern.Rachael smiled softly, unconsciously rubbing her small baby bump. "Yes, Arya, everything is fine. Come, have a seat."As Arya settled into a chair, her eyes never leaving Rachael's face, she couldn't help but voice her worries. "Are you sure? You seem tense. Is it the baby?"Rachael shook her head, reaching out to grasp Arya's hand. "No, the baby is fine. It's... it's Daniel."Arya's breath caught in her throa
Racheal groaned as she sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes sleepily. She glanced over at Alpha Axel, who was already dressed in an all-black suit, looking somber and serious."Where are you going?" she asked, her voice still thick with sleep."It's Brandon's burial today," Alpha Axel replied quietly, his gaze distant. Racheal felt a pang of sympathy for him, knowing how close they had been. But she also felt a wave of anxiety wash over her at the thought of attending a funeral. She hated funerals, the sadness and finality of them always left her feeling drained and depressed."I...I don't think I can go," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm feeling sick."Alpha Axel turned to her, his eyes softening as he reached out to cup her cheek. "That's okay, sweetheart. I understand. You stay here and rest. I'll be back soon."He leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead before standing up and heading towards the door. Racheal watched him go, feeling a mix of guilt and
Axel's heart clenched at the revelation, his mind reeling with the implications of her words. Brandon, his best friend, gone too soon, leaving behind a legacy that neither of them could have foreseen. He approached the woman slowly, his expression filled with sympathy. "I'm so sorry for your loss," he said softly, his voice barely audible over the hushed murmurs of the courtiers gathered around them. "But you're safe here in the palace. We'll take care of you and your child."The woman nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Thank you, Alpha Axel. I didn't know where else to turn."Brandon may be gone, but his legacy would live on, bound forever to the fate of the pack he had left behind. And it was up to Axel to ensure that legacy endured, no matter the cost.Alpha Axel approached the woman, with a gentle smile, his eyes filled with compassion. "Thank you for sharing this with me. Can you tell me more about yourself?"She looked up at him, her gaze hesitant yet grateful. "My name
Davina stood at the top of the stairs, her mind buzzing with the weight of the revelation she was about to disclose to Luna Racheal. Just as she was about to descend to retrieve the forgotten item from her car, Arya's voice pierced through her thoughts, calling her back."Davina, wait!"Turning back, Davina saw Arya hurrying towards her, her eyes wide with urgency. "What is it, Arya?" Davina inquired, her curiosity piqued.Arya's voice quivered with desperation as she pleaded, "Please, Davina, you can't tell anyone. I beg you. I just want to move on with my life in this body."Davina regarded Arya with skepticism, her brow furrowing in suspicion. "But how? How did you even manage to do it, Arya or is it Athena? You have to tell me."Arya's gaze shifted nervously, avoiding Davina's piercing stare. "It's... it's complicated. Please, Davina, just let me be. I promise I won't hurt anyone."Davina's resolve wavered for a moment, but she shook her head firmly. "I'm sorry, Arya, but I can't

Alpha's Axel's POV I sat in my dimly lit study, engrossed in my work, unattended documents piled up on my table, the visit of the Whisper pack still haunted me.I looked at the wall clock realizing I had been in my study for hours instead of spending the wonderful evening with my Luna. I carefully peeked at my beta Daniel who sat across the table engrossed in a file. Realizing his attention was not directed to me, I took out the DNA reports of Ardolf.“What is that?” Daniel stared at me as I held the paper in my hands. Damn it! I didn't know he was watching me.“It's nothing” I lied, as I slipped the paper back to my drawer and stood up, walking to the window.“It doesn't matter what I say or do, it still doesn't change the fact that Ardolf is my half-brother” I growled as I turned to Daniel, my brows furrowed in anger, and I felt my fists clench as my anger suddenly flared.My breath became heavy and ragged and I could feel the wolf in me struggling to get out, my eyes changed into

I couldn't still apprehend the situation.“Rachel, wait” Davina called as she walked over to the car. “Please wait, we can figure this out” she pleaded as her eyes widened and rimmed with tears.“We” I scoffed. “I kept blaming the wrong people all my life, without knowing that the root of my problems was planted by my own family, I so badly wanted to meet” My eyes hardened as they narrowed into slits, my voice laced with venom.“Please” she pleaded as she held my hands. “You wanted a family and you can still have it” Her eyes pooled with tears and her voice was thick with tears.“It's too late, I have already started my own family” I scoffed, jerking my hands from her. “ Alpha Axel must be worried about my w
