IN THE HALL"How strange?! Where did Delilah go suddenly?" Noah asked himself while looking around the party hall to look for DelilahNoah's heart raced as he tried to maintain his composure in the midst of the party's fervour. The pack's important members had gathered for this momentous occasion, the long-awaited ceremony that would solidify their unity. It was a time for celebration, but all he could think about was finding Delilah.The pulsating beat of the music reverberated through the hall, and colourful lights danced across the room, casting an enchanting aura over the revellers. The pack members and guests from neighbouring packs swayed to the rhythm, their laughter and chatter filling the air with a joyful energy. The scent of various supernatural beings mixed in the room, creating an intoxicating blend of aromas.Delilah's sudden disappearance had left him in a state of bewilderment. Just when he had felt that undeniable attraction rekindling between them after years of sepa
"I would like to call alpha Stephen and his mate, soon to be Luna, Melissa, to the front." A senior looking man said in a serious tone. He was from the senior werewolf community. He and more people like him are known as councillors. They often make important decisions and solve problems in packs. They are very important people and everyone respects them around here. Even the alphas. So, for important rituals like this, they are invited as the main guest to complete the ceremony and put importance into it."Stephen, come on! I can't wait for it to be done!" Melissa beamed in happiness as she pulled Stephen with her up on the stage.Stephen had a blank look on his face as he followed her motionlessly. He had a lot planned for this night. But at that moment, without finding Delilah around him, his mind went blank. He didn't know what he was doing at that moment. His head was blasting as he felt breathless suddenly. He looked around for something which would pull him out of the misery a
INT. LUXURIOUS BALLROOM - NIGHTThe opulent ballroom was a sight to behold, adorned with shimmering crystal chandeliers that cast a warm, enchanting glow over the elegantly dressed werewolves in their human forms. The grand party was a spectacular affair, with champagne glasses clinking and laughter echoing through the air. The anticipation was palpable as guests revealed in the opulence of the setting.In the midst of the gathering, a commanding figure stood at the centre of attention. Alpha Stephen, the embodiment of strength and power, held a device in his hand. His voice resonated with authority as he began to address the crowd.The music, once vibrant and invigorating, faded into a distant hum, and the room fell silent. All eyes turned to the powerful Alpha, their expressions a mix of curiosity and reverence.""Ladies and gentlemen, if I may have your attention, please," he declared firmly, his voice commanding and echoing through the grand hall, "Four years ago, in the very hear
Among all these gossips, Stephen walked straight out of the living room with panic clearly written on his face, not caring for his friends calling him several times. His mind was stuck at the sudden thing which he heard in his head. 'Help! Stephen… Help me…' It was Delilah's voice. Did she just mindlinked him? How?!But that was the least of his worries at that moment because he was running to save Delilah who was in some kind of danger…_____"What the hell just happened?" Damon asked in shock and disbelief as soon as Stephen stormed out of the room."Well, we don't know, but whatever happened, I enjoyed it very much," Jennifer spoke up with a smirk while looking at Melissa, who was standing on the stage with a blank look on her face."Same here. Look at her face. Ain't that worth enjoying?" Damon asked with a smirk, and he and Jennifer laughed."Well, aren't you both evil?" Ashley asked with a raised eyebrow after walking toward them."Well, you can't blame us now, can you?" Jenni
"Thank you so much for meeting with me today, Kevin," Delilah said with a grateful smile. The meeting place was a secluded spot, surrounded by tall trees, their branches swaying in the breeze, creating eerie shadows in the moonless night. The sound of nocturnal creatures added to the mystique of the location."Not a big deal, Liah," Kevin replied in an emotionless tone, his eyes focused on the winding road ahead. The darkness was pervasive, and the absence of the moon added an extra layer of obscurity to the night. The headlights of the car cut through the blackness, illuminating the narrow path that stretched out before them."Actually, I have to meet this witch as soon as possible. I need to find my father. He is alive and he is hiding somewhere. And I need to meet him as soon as possible to solve some mystery," Delilah explained while playing with her fingers, her nervous energy palpable in the confined space of the car. The occasional rustling of leaves in the trees along the road
ON THE OTHER HANDDelilah's voice trembled with anger as she shouted, "Leave me! I said leave me!" Her chest heaved with difficulty as she struggled to regain her composure. The air felt heavy, and something was terribly amiss.She reached out to the wolf within her, seeking solace and answers to the overwhelming situation. "What was happening? Why am I feeling weaker than normal?" Delilah tried to communicate with her wolf, but it was a feeble connection at best, almost as if a veil of magic obscured their bond."It's magic. He is doing magic on us using the witch. She is getting control over us," her wolf's frantic voice resonated in her mind, sending a shiver down her spine. The realization that dark forces were at play only intensified her unease.Desperation seeped into Delilah's voice as she contemplated her options. "What should we do? Should we shift and make a run for it? We definitely can't fight him." The idea of fleeing seemed like the only sensible choice, but even that w
The searing sensations of the mate bond she once shared with Alpha Stephen, the source of her torment and weakness, dissipated. Delilah's body no longer felt weak or in pain from the bond that had tethered her to him.Confusion swept over her as she considered the implications. Had Alpha Stephen finally completed the ritual and marked her as his mate? The abrupt change left her in a state of bewilderment, her thoughts racing as she grappled with the unexpected turn of events.Is that why she wasn't feeling any connection with him or whatsoever? Emptiness settled inside her along with the pain in her body, caused by Kevin. Everything from a few moments ago was gone but that doesn't mean she was completely fine now. Her whole body was aching because of the abuse he was doing to her using the witch."Alpha, the procedure is complete. Now, it's under your control," the old witch intoned, her voice laden with an eerie sense of power. Delilah's confusion deepened as she watched the proceedi
"I will fucking kill you!" Stephen growled at Kevin as he kneeled down in front of a badly injured Delilah. He took her in his arms while hugging her tightly. His expensive white shirt was getting bloodied by her.She was having a really hard time keeping her eyes opened, yet she was trying her best to do that because of two reasons. First, she couldn't believe that Stephen came to save her. Second, she was happy that she wouldn't be dying or be going with Kevin. She knew Stephen wouldn't let that happen in a million years. She didn't know from where this much trust was coming from but she just knew!"Don't interfere here, alpha Stephen. It's none of your business!" Kevin growled at Stephen after getting up from the ground. He tried to take a step toward them but Stephen's one glare was enough to stop him in his tracks. That's the power he held. Even Kevin's warriors weren't brave enough to stay ten feet near him. And the witch? It ran away already."How dare you say that to me?! It
