CHAPTER 58~3RD PERSON'S POV~Lady Anaya stood quietly in front of a large glass wall, watching as her maids moved around the front yard under the sunset. She looked distressed; it was unusual for Lady Anaya to be seen in this kind of mood, as she was known to always be prepared for everything.Edith walked toward her, the orange light from the wall casting her show long and leaning on the floor. Edith noticed the look on Anaya's face and let out a sigh.“I haven't seen that look in a while,” Edith said with a worried expression.Anaya turned to her and smiled. “I'm fine, Edith; I just need a little time by myself,” she said, then turned back to the window.“That worries me even more. Ever since you caught the criminal among the council members, you've gone from your usual bright and happy Anaya to whatever this is. If anything's bothering you, I'd be honored to listen,” Edith said softly, holding Anaya's hand.Anaya turned to her and sighed again. Her gaze lowered to the ground, and
CHAPTER 59~3RD PERSON'S POV~“The Belmont family was a family of werewolves that ruled over a pack in Mystic Meadow called the Blackburn. The pack was among the most powerful in its time, but after the entire family went missing mysteriously, the pack was attacked, and without an alpha to lead them into battle, all the worst wolves were killed.We didn't know where you came from, who you were, or what kind of position you held in the hierarchy of werewolves or humans. We found you in the forest, covered in serious burns and near death, so we had to rescue you.The head of the council, my lord, used magic to heal your burns and nurse you back to health. After your burns had vanished completely, he realized you were the Luna of the Black Burn Pack, but there was no one left to return you to, so he decided to keep you a secret from the world until you regained consciousness.He knew he had enemies in the council but wasn't sure who they were. He knew an attempt would be made to take his
CHAPTER 60~3RD PERSON'S POV~“My lord, Derren's warrior wolves draw close. They should be in these woods by nightfall; the spy says Derren isn't with them, so I'm sure it'll be easy to take them down,” one of Stevens warrior wolves said, stading beside Gregory on a large rock.“That's right, we'll have divisions positioned at every possible route leading to the Grey Wolf Pack. We'll also have warrior wolves stand guard all around the alpha's home in case some of them manage to slip past us. Our strategy leaves no room for errors as long as you all play your roles correctly. Do you understand?” Gregory said this to a group of warrior wolves standing beneath the rock he stood upon.Gregory was shirtless, and so we're the other warrior wolves who were there to fight with him. They all nodded after Gregory spoke and dispersed to take their positions.“Alright, I want two divisions attacking from behind the Blackburn wolves a few minutes after they decide which route they want to follow.
CHAPTER 61~3RD PERSON'S POV~Gregory sat quietly in an office provided to him by Alpha Richard. The office was dark as it had no windows; the only ventilation available in the room was air conducted through steel pipes channeled through the mansion to rooms without windows.The only light that could be seen was from a lamp that stood on Gregory's desk. It shined a bright yellow light on a piece of paper Gregory's eyes were fixed upon; he held a quill pen, and a small bottle of ink sat by his left-hand side.He dipped the quill into the bottle of ink and let out a sigh. “My lord,” he wrote.“Our battle against the Blackburn wolves was a great one with many difficulties, but in the end we came out victorious. The Blackburn wolves are not to be taken lightly, as these wolves were once rogues. The violent nature of the rogue and their unrestraint in matters of killing still course through their veins. I can already see that preventing them from taking the other packs will be a difficult
CHAPTER 62~3RD PERSON'S POV~Gregory was fast asleep in his room when a knock suddenly sounded on his door. His eyes opened, and he turned toward the door and let out a sigh.“I guess it's time,” he said softly as he got up from his bed. He unbuttoned his shirt and took it off, leaving only his jean trousers. The knock sounded on the door again, and he said, stretching his arms, “Just a sec."He proceeded toward the door and slowly pulled it open, hiding behind it. The person at the door, who wore really dark clothing and had a mask on, saw that Gregory wasn't at the door, so he decided to step in.The person walked in slowly, then pulled a dagger from a holster around his right thigh. He looked around the room, searching for Gregory, and as he was about to turn around, Gregory walked out of the darkness, wrapped his left palm around the assassin's mouth, and wrapped his right arm around his throat.He tightened his arm around the person's throat, holding his mouth to prevent him fro
CHAPTER 63~GABRIELLA'S POV~The snow storm got really intense the further we went into the north. We were cold and hungry, and we had to rest a few times on the way. Valerie said our journey would only be two days long, but it already felt like weeks in the snow, and we hadn't even gotten to the Marigold Pack territory yet.“How much longer before we reach?” Marie yelled, her voice waning out in the loud storm. Valerie walked forward and stopped. “We should be there any minute now,” she said.“You said that like 30 minutes ago!” I yelled, sounding a little frustrated.Valerie turned to me and yelled, "I'm trying my best, okay? I didn't expect the storm to be this big. It usually isn't stormy here this time of the year."“Oh yeah? Now we're going to die out here in the cold, and no one's ever going to find us,” I yelled back.“You know you could just go back! We don't even need you in this; you'll only hold us back,” Valerie said angrily. I was about to speak when Marie placed her han
CHAPTER 64~GABRIELLA'S POV~“Wooo hooo!” I yelled ecstatically as I rushed out of the cave. The storm was finally over, and we could continue our journey smoothly. Our spirits were high again, and the hunger in our stomachs was soothed.Me and the girls laughed and played in the snow on our way to the Marigold Pack territory. Each time either of us got tired, we would lay on the ground, and the others would pull us by our feet until we were ready to walk again.We moved forward for a few more hours until we got to a large cliff. It was actually a large crack in the ground, and it went down for miles.“I can't even see the bottom,” I said as I stared down, laying on the ground. I picked up a rock laying beside me and dropped it into the gorge. I turned my right ear downward to hear if the rock made any sound, but it didn't.I got back on my feet and turned to Valerie. “What do we do now? There's no way to get across this; it's too wide,” I said, letting out a sign and walking toward t
CHAPTER 65~GABRIELLA'S POV~“Guys. Marie, Valerie, anyone?" I yelled as I walked through the forest with a worried expression on my face. Every single place was silent, and only the rustling of leaves under my feet could be heard. There was no wind, and the forest wasn't too cold, as the snow inside was a lot less than on the outside.I tried as much as possible not to touch any other trees as I walked through.“At least I know the other girls are going to find me soon. They can't move on without me; if they do, the trees will start moving again,” I said to myself, trying not to get too worried about going insane and dying of starvation.I continued to walk deeper and deeper into the forest quietly, hoping I wouldn't come across something life-threatening. In all my panic, I slipped on a rock before me and hit my head on one of the trees.As I fell to the ground, I groaned in pain. “Ugghhh, who put a rock there?” I asked as I massaged my head. I opened my eyes again and realized that
