This was a challenging book for me, and if it wasn't for all your kind words and support, I might have been unable to continue this book. Thank you all for giving it a chance, and I am sorry the story had to end. But these days, I would rather complete a book regardless of its performance than abandon it. I hope the ending was to satisfaction, and I also want you all to know that I do not take you for granted. I deeply appreciate your love and support, especially in my lowest moments. Thank you all so much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Emily, Had anyone told me I would be living a nightmare two days ago, I would have said it was a lie.My pack had troubles, and my husband assured me he was on top of it. Little did I know he would go missing and become a part of our troubles.A pack without an alpha was vulnerable, and that was where we were. With heartfelt care, David gently placed the pile of posters on the old wooden table. The posters looked haphazardly done.As I touched the worn-out prints, a rush of emotions flooded me, and the weight of our situation pressed heavily on my heart. Tears filled my eyes, ready to escape, as I looked into my brother David's eyes. In that silent moment, we shared our unspoken fears and concerns. Struggling to contain the flood of emotions, I felt a whirlwind of thoughts racing through my mind. Where was my husband? Two agonising days had passed with no sign of him, leaving us in a state of desperate uncertainty. It seemed as though he had vanished from existence, leaving no tra
Emily,The loud ringing of the landline suddenly woke me up from my light sleep. Exhaustion clung to my weary bones like an anchor dragging me deeper into the abyss.Reluctantly, I pried myself from the comfort of my bed, my throbbing head a testament to the torrent of tears and sleepless nights that had plagued me.Reaching out for the receiver, I found solace in the abrupt silence that greeted me, the call had already been answered by David, I presumed.I looked at the faint light coming through the curtains and realised it was morning. The clock on the wall showed it was nine o'clock. Although I hadn't slept much, it was time to take action. I summoned the strength to freshen myself up, hastily donning joggers and a T-shirt, clinging to a flicker of hope for a glimmer of positive news.When I joined my brother in the living room, he seemed burdened and sad.He was sitting with the phone's receiver in his hand, and I felt a sense of worry. Could this be the same call that woke me up
Emily, Several weeks have passed, and we haven't received any news about Jake. It's as if he vanished completely off the surface of the earth. Unable to feel our bond, I was starting to fear that he was gone forever. However, I desperately held onto the hope that he would return. I found myself sitting at the Alpha office every day, attending to pack matters. The alpha’s office had become my makeshift workspace. Taking charge was tough, but nobody else could do it. David, Luis, and Claus were supportive and helped me navigate through the process, but despite our efforts, everything seemed to be falling apart. The situation was unfavourable, and we lacked the necessary resources. The stress and lack of sleep had taken a toll on me, visible in my exhausted appearance. I had dark circles and pale skin, no longer resembling my former self. It felt as if Jake's disappearance had drained the spirit from me and our pack. I had a bad headache, so I rested my head on the table to try to
Emily,The disappointment etched on the faces of my pack members as they left my house after the protest was a haunting image that lingered in my mind. Their eyes bore a sense of hopelessness, mirroring the despair I felt deep within. Restlessness consumed me as I tossed and turned throughout the night, the weight of unanswered questions swirling in my mind, overwhelming me with the fear of failure.I clutched my pillow tightly, tears streaming down my face. Anger, betrayal, and confusion waged a relentless war within me, making it impossible to find solace or sleep. Hours of torment passed before I finally mustered the strength to rise from the bed, desperate to calm my frayed nerves.Navigating the darkness of our unlit home, I lit a candle to guide my path. As I extended my trembling hand holding the flickering candlelight, memories of Jake and me together flooded back, and a chilling gust of wind swept through me, a stark reminder that I was now alone.The tears had ceased, but a
Emily,David and I returned home filled with hope. It was the first time in weeks that I felt a glimmer of relief, a sense that perhaps the tides were turning in our favour. The reasons behind Alpha Kane's willingness to lend a hand remained a mystery to me, but deep within my heart, I held onto the fervent prayer that he would somehow come through for us. Though my thoughts urged caution, recognising the past animosity between Jake and Kane, I clung to the flickering flame of hope that Kane had indeed reached out.As we approached our settlement, a palpable air of jubilation greeted us. The arrival of much-needed supplies had brought smiles to the faces of our fellow pack members. I knew this happiness was fleeting, a temporary respite from the harsh reality that awaited us. So, I yearned for my impending meeting with Kane, desperately hoping that he would be the one to fill the void in our lives."See the look on their faces, David," I whispered to my brother as we drove past the ex
Emily, We entered Alpha Kane's office, and the scene screamed opulence. Wealth seemed like a distant memory to me now, and for some strange reason, I felt out of place. "Please, Luna Ashbrid, Beta Nixon, take a seat," Alpha Kane uttered, his face devoid of expression. I settled into the chair across from his desk, grateful that there were two seats available, allowing David to join me. "How may I assist you?" he inquired, encouraging me to cut to the chase. I adjusted myself in the chair. "First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for granting me this audience. Your attention means a great deal," I said, receiving no response, which made it clear that I should get straight to the point. "Alpha, my pack is in dire need of assistance. Our resources are depleted, and hunger plagues my people. We require aid to break free from the dire straits we find ourselves in. My husband has gone missing…" I began, but he interrupted. "I have no interest in anything related to that wea
Emily, We were led to the Alpha Quarters as Alpha Kane had instructed, and rooms were assigned to David and me. The moment I entered the room, I exhaled. I did not know how physically and mentally exhausted I was until I sat on the chair in the room and exhaled. The entire ordeal had shaken me to my core. I could see why people believed Jake must have run away. Our pack could not have gotten out of the mess he had created. I was grateful to Alpha Kane for giving us a chance and agreeing to help. It was painful to realise that I would be letting go of my family's legacy, but what is a pack without its members? At least everyone would now have a chance to survive and live their lives. Uncertainty gnawed at me regarding how the Howlers would react to this new arrangement. I hoped they would embrace the change and welcome it with open arms. Similarly, I longed for the members of the Shadow Moon pack to accept my people without bias. It was abundantly clear that anyone who knew u
Emily, Morning arrived, and Hayle, the Omega I had become acquainted with, came to escort me for breakfast. I hadn't managed much sleep, and I knew the fatigue would be apparent on my face. Nevertheless, I freshened up and donned the shirt and jeans provided for me by Alpha Kane. We made our way to the breakfast area, but to my surprise, only Alpha Kane was present. I couldn't help but wonder where David was. The confusion must have shown on my face, prompting Alpha Kane to address the situation without delay. "It will be just the two of us this morning, Emily. Your brother has been served in his room," he informed me, his expression remaining composed. A wave of nervousness washed over me. I hoped there was no issue at hand. Concerns began to surface, suggesting that Beta Carlton might have influenced Alpha Kane to retract his earlier assurances. I made a conscious effort to calm myself and maintain composure. Worrying never solved anything anyway. "I see that you didn't sleep wel
