Everyone in the hall froze at the sight of Alpha Marcus standing among them. "Alpha Marcus?" someone gasped, the disbelief clear in their voice."What brings you here, Alpha Marcus?" Gaia asked, stunned, as she rose from her seat. The rest of the hall bowed their heads in respect, acknowledging the presence of the formidable leader.Marcus stepped further into the room, his demeanor calm and commanding. "I am not alone. I brought some company to join your celebration," he replied, his voice steady.Cade interjected, his tone laced with suspicion. "Uninvited? Something else brought you here."Just then, the rest of Marcus's pack members entered the hall, their presence adding to the tension in the room. Alpha Grayson, the birthday celebrant, turned his attention to Marcus."You brought your people?" Grayson asked, a mix of curiosity and concern in his voice."You must be the birthday man, Alpha Grayson. Happy birthday to you," Marcus said with a slight nod."Thank you," Grayson replie
As the group made their way back through the woods, the atmosphere was charged with a mix of anticipation and tension. The journey was swift, the members of Marcus's pack moving with practiced ease through the familiar terrain. The sun had set, casting the landscape in hues of twilight, as they finally arrived at the imposing gates of Marcus’s mansion.The grand structure loomed ahead, its impressive facade illuminated by soft lights that gave it a warm and welcoming glow. Marcus, leading the group, glanced back at Zyra, who walked beside him with a composed expression. Despite the events of the evening, she held her head high, a testament to her inner strength.As they approached the mansion, the gates swung open to reveal the pack members standing in formation, awaiting their Alpha’s return. The atmosphere was one of reverent anticipation. Murmurs spread through the crowd as they saw Zyra at Marcus’s side. Marcus raised his hand, and silence fell over the assembly."Tonight, we welc
Back at the Nightshade pack, the members continued to revel in the festivities. The party showed no signs of slowing down and seemed destined to stretch into the early morning. However, Alpha Cade, feeling weary, excused himself and made his way to the family meeting room. His mother had summoned him and his sister, and they both knew what the meeting would be about.As Cade entered the dimly lit room, he noticed his parents already seated, their faces stern and serious. He swallowed hard, mentally preparing himself for the conversation ahead."Hi Mom, hi Dad," Gaia greeted as she stepped in."Both of you, take a seat," their mother instructed, her tone leaving no room for argument. Cade and Gaia complied, sitting down with a mix of apprehension and resignation. Cade glanced at his mother, then his father, before fixing his gaze on the table in the center of the room."I assume you both know why I called you here?" she began, reaching for her glass of wine."Not exactly, but I can gu
As Alpha Cade made his way to his room, he couldn't help but agree with Lukas, though he hated to admit it. Lukas was right; Cade thought he was the one who had done the most damage. The memories of how he treated Zyra flooded his mind. He shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel the thoughts, and poured the remaining alcohol from his bottle into his mouth."Ya’ll are petty! How could you be scared of that little thing called Zyra!" he yelled aloud, running his hand through his hair in frustration. As he headed towards the bathroom, contemplating spending the rest of the night drunk in the bathtub, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He frowned, annoyed at the persistent knocking."Haven't you guys had enough?" he muttered, rolling his eyes. The knocking continued, and with a sigh, he walked to the door to see who it was. When he opened it, he found Aria standing there with an unreadable expression on her face."Hey..." he greeted softly."Hi..." she replied quietly, her
The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a golden hue across the Pack’s training grounds. Zyra stood there, feeling a mix of anticipation and nerves. The training ground was vast, with different sections for various types of training. There were obstacle courses, sparring rings, and weapon racks filled with swords, daggers, and bows.Marcus stood beside her, exuding confidence and strength. He wore a tight black training outfit that showed off his muscular build. Zyra couldn't help but notice how his presence seemed to dominate the space."Ready for your first day of training?" Marcus asked, a playful smirk on his face.Zyra nodded, trying to match his confidence. "As ready as I'll ever be."Marcus chuckled. "Good. We'll start with some basic combat skills. Follow me."“It would be best to start with physical training, we are yet to discover your abilities you know.” He said to her and she nodded her head.They walked to a large mat where Marcus had set up for hand-to-hand combat t
Zyra huddled in the corner of her small den, her heart pounding in her chest as she tried to drown out the sounds of her pack mates running and playing outside. She knew that it was only a matter of time before they would find her, and she would once again become their target.The young she-wolf had always been different from the others in her pack. Her parents' sacrifice left her alone and isolated. Despite her efforts to make friends, she was constantly ignored or even outright bullied by the others around her. With her mating ceremony only weeks away, Zyra had come of age to get a mate. There was always a special day in their pack when mateless wolves found their mates. Other wolves would get their mate next week, assuming they eventually got one. Zyra knew that things were only going to get worse.She had caught the eye of the pack's alpha son, a handsome and popular wolf named Cade. But despite his interest in her, it was clear that he didn't truly care for her. It was all about
Zyra's POVI watched as they approached me with malice in their eyes, feeling a sense of dread wash over me. I tried to back away, but they closed in, encircling me in slow motion. These two were always a pain in my ass."What do you want from me?" I asked, my voice trembling with fear.Gaia, Alpha Grayson's daughter, sneered at me and replied, "We just want to have a little fun with you, Omega. You know how much we love playing with our toys." Her mocking tone sent a shiver down my spine.To be referred to as a toy once again – it was all too familiar. Cade had treated me the same way, playing with me as if I were just an object, and now his sister wanted to do the same.Elara laughed heartily at Gaia's statement and began to circle me, adding to the humiliation. "What a pathetic thing you are," Elara taunted."You should be dead by now.""Your parents are just as dumb as you are. It runs in the family," Gaia laughed, finding amusement in belittling me."There are more than a thousa
Zyra POVCade’s hand roamed over my body slowly, from my chest to my hips. He ran his hands back up and my boobs in his hands. I swallowed heavily and turned away to look at the window as I let the tears flow down my eyes slowly. “Do you have to do this?” I ask him and heard him scoff“Are you questioning me?” he laughs and pinned me down to the bed. I was forced to turn back at him.“You will see me f*ck you Zyra. You don’t deserve to be this beautiful when you are useless” he replied as he slid his down his hands down to my waist. I folded my lips in as I whimpered lowly and felt his fingers around my womanhood.“You are still a virgin right?” he asks and I nod my head hoping he wouldn’t go any further but he chuckles instead.“Sweet” he replied and slowly sent his two fingers inside of me.“Ah!” I yelped out in pain.“Yes, feel it” he snickers and lowered his face to my neck and began trailing kisses around my neck while he kept sending his fingers back and forth inside me.I am n
