CANCELLED?Amanda stormed out of the hall, her anger radiating with each step she took. The weight of disappointment and humiliation she had faced in these few days weighed heavily on her shoulders. She hated that Alpha William had the guts to come back after what he had done to her and worst he demands that she marries him not bothering to apologize for what he had put her through. Worst he followed her as she walked out of the hall shouting and insisting she calms down."Amanda, stop acting like a child, let's talk," William said, his voice filled with desperation.Amanda turned around, her eyes blazing with fury. "Talk? What more is there to say, William? You humiliated me in front of everyone!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with anger.William took a step closer, his tone filled with remorse. "I didn't mean for it to go this way, Amanda. Everything happened so fast and I had to cancel. It is not like I said I would never marry you, I just wanted the date shifted.”“You chose
TAKING A STANDAmanda's heart pounded in her chest as she listened to alpha drake, her emotion conflicting with each minute that passed. “Amanda is my mate, and I have come to claim what is mine.There was silence everywhere before the hall erupted with murmuring and soon everyone was talking over each other as tensions flared among the pack members. Murmurs of discontent filled the air, threatening to escalate into a full-blown confrontation. The alphas from each pack present, fueled by their own pride and resentment, stood at the forefront, demanding that Alpha Drake be thrown out for his perceived disregard for tradition.Caleb, Amanda's father, stepped forward, his voice towering above others. "Enough!" he boomed, silencing the commotion momentarily. "We will not resort to violence or hasty judgments. This matter concerns my daughter and her voice shall be heard."The crowd fell into an uneasy silence, their eyes fixed on Caleb, awaiting his decision. He glanced over at Amanda, w
BATTLE FOR HERTension hung thick in the air as Alpha Drake's challenge to Alpha William re-echoed through the hall. The gathered pack members held their breath, their eyes darting between the two alphas, waiting for a response. William's gaze hardened as he assessed Drake, his animosity toward him clear. The outcome of the fight was more than just about who will become Amanda's mate, it would also determine who would become more revered in the territory, it was a fight that Alpha William could not afford to lose, and neither could he reject to fight Alpha Drake."You would put Amanda's fate on the line in a duel?" William's voice held a hint of frustration. "So be it. I accept your challenge."The murmurs of approval rippled through the crowd, with many expressing their excitement at the prospect of witnessing such a high-stakes battle. However, Marcus Alpha William’s beta Marcus mind-linked him, his expression clouded with concern."Alpha William, are you sure about this?" Marcus qu
LUNADrake's victory in the duel was met with a wave of uncertainty from the other packs and celebration from his pack members. As his eyes searched the area for Amanda, they locked onto hers. An electric current seemed to pass between them at that moment, and Amanda felt her heart skip a beat. The intensity of Drake's gaze sent shivers down her spine, and she could sense the deep connection between them.However, as quickly as their eyes met, Drake averted his gaze, leaving Amanda feeling uncertain and confused. Doubts crept into her mind. Was it just her imagination? Did he truly feel the mate bond as strongly as she did, or was she reading too much into the situation?Amanda tried to push the thoughts aside, reminding herself of the complicated circumstances they found themselves in. Drake had won the duel and proven himself as a strong and capable alpha, but their journey was far from over. The future of their packs and their struggles loomed ahead.As soon as the elders declared
MARKING HIS MATEIt was time for the Luna mark as soon as the Luna ceremony ended. The luna mark was a bite mark given by a male mate to his female mate. It was usually done in private, but since Drake and Amanda were both Alphas of their respective parks, they were expected to do it in the presence of the council of elders and their subordinates. The mark from Alpha Drake would be the physical symbol of their bond, to be sealed upon Amanda's skin. Drake tilted Amanda’s head to the right, revealing her bare neck nape.A hush fell over the hall as everyone watched, their gazes fixed upon the two figures at the center of attention. The air grew heavy with anticipation; the energy emanating from them could be felt. Alpha Drake Marking his Luna Amanda would ensure that their souls are entwined for eternity.Drake drew closer, his hand gently cupping Amanda's cheek, his touch sending a shiver down her spine.

BECOMING A COUPLEAs the celebration continued, the atmosphere was filled with anticipation as each pack's Alpha approached the newly mated couple, Drake and Amanda, to offer their congratulations. One by one, they stepped forward, each carrying their own unique presence and energy.First to approach was Alpha Leo, a fierce and wise leader known for his unmatched agility and cunning. He offered a warm smile to Amanda and extended his hand to Drake. "Congratulations, Amanda, Drake. May your bond be as enduring as the starlit sky and bring strength to your pack."Next came Alpha Hiroshi, a seasoned warrior with a deep sense of honor and loyalty. He clasped Drake's shoulder and nodded respectfully to Amanda. "You've made quite an impression on us, Drake. I trust that you will protect Amanda with the same unwavering devotion you have shown to your pack."Alpha Kai, a spirited and independent leader, approached with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He playfully nudged Amanda's arm and grin
NOT JUST INTO YOUAmanda stepped away from Drake; she hated how he made her knees go weak whenever she was in his presence. She despised more the way he was sending mixed signals to her. Amanda was sure that Alpha Drake was her mate, her wolf was convinced of this, but he had vehemently rejected the idea of a mate bond, and worst, he did not believe in the goddess. Amanda wondered who she had offended in the past life that cursed her leading to her being mated to Alpha Drake. She wanted more clarification from Drake because even though she was his Luna, she was not convinced that he wanted her because of his aloofness toward her. As if reading her mind, Drake spoke, his words cutting deep and hurting her.His words hung in the air, shattering the fragile hope that had blossomed within her heart. She felt her chest tighten, the weight of his declaration pressing upon her. It was his truth-he said, something she hadn't anticipated.Amanda met Drake's gaze, her eyes searching for any hi
HONOURING THE GODDESSThe air was thick with anticipation as all the Eleven Alphas, leaders of the most powerful wolf territories, together with their subordinates and the council of elders gathered together in a vast clearing deep within the ancient forest. The Tharlegia Festival, a sacred event held once a year, was about to commence. It was a celebration that honored the Moon Goddess and marked the pinnacle of their creation, unity, and strength. The festival was the time the werewolves were graced with the unique presence of the goddess and could ask for her help in fertility, protection, and life. It was a festival every pack in the territory was expected to be a part of and had been celebrated for centuries. As they gathered around, the moon emerged, casting an ethereal glow upon the assembled wolves. The Alphas, except for Alpha Drake, each representing a unique region and possessing their own distinct aura, took their places in a circle, no one spoke as they all paid homage
