DamonThe joyful cheers of the people overwhelmed me, like a massive wave in the ocean, making it difficult to think. I stood there, my mind in disarray, lost in a whirlwind of emotions brought on by this unexpected news.Was I dreaming? Did I really hear my father introduce Rina or Tori as her true identity to the crowd as his new bride?The surprise I felt was unlike anything I had ever experienced in my entire life. I was profoundly shocked. I had no idea this was going to happen; the news hit me like a sudden lightning strike on a sunny day. The woman who deceiv
SerenaAfter the announcement, Ashford hurried to secure a place for both Alexei and me. It was a cabin with a small kitchen and two rooms designated for us. After witnessing the unfolding events, we all agreed it was best to settle down for a moment and consider our next steps. The news of Tori's impending marriage to Alpha Roman had completely altered our plans.Ashford gestured towards the cozy kitchen, attempting to ease the tension. "Make yourselves at home. I've stocked the kitchen with supplies, so you won't go hungry. Tomorrow, I will bring more supplies, such as clean clothes and toiletries."
DamonUpon entering my father's quarters, I found myself struggling to contain the whirlwind of emotions that churned within me. He greeted me in a nonchalant manner, almost as though he had anticipated my visit, even offering me a cup of coffee or tea, both of which I promptly declined. There was no room for pleasantries; I had come for answers."Alpha," I began, my voice quivering with emotion, "I need an explanation."The friendly facade my father had initially worn vanished in an instant, replaced by a stern and somewhat menacing expression. He leaned forward in his chair, and his response carried a sharp edge, "Are you commanding me, Damon?"Gathering all my courage, I locked eyes with him and replied, “I'm not issuing a command, Alpha. I simply need to understand."“What’s there to not understand?” he scoffed. His eyebrows creased as if marrying Tori was just a simple matter that needed not to intervene. “You simply cannot do your fucking job taking care of her. So, I stepped in
DamonA surge of emotions washed over me. Relief, hope, and a profound longing collided within me. The weight of uncertainty that had been pressing down on my shoulders seemed to lift, if only for a moment, and I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of happiness.Serena was out there, and Ashford had managed to locate her. I couldn’t believe my Beta succeeded in finding her when we had no single lead to her whereabouts. It spoke volumes about the capabilities of my future Beta.

DamonThe next morning, I woke up to the rising sun. I felt a mix of excitement and worry about the emergency council meeting my Alpha father had requested. I quickly got dressed in my council attire, to attend the requested assembly.Contrary to the string of thoughts going inside my head, my walk to the council hall was relatively peaceful. As I approached, I could feel the tension in the air, hinting at the upcoming council that I bet none of the other council members had an idea about considering how they exchanged reactions inside the council hall.
SerenaI awoke to the enticing scent of coffee enveloping the cabin. The warm aroma pulled me from my slumber. When I stepped outside, there was Ashford, working his culinary wonders, whipping up a breakfast feast that danced with tempting flavors. Ashford noticed me as I closed the door behind me."Morning, Serena," Ashford greeted with a warm smile, the sizzle of bacon in the background.
DamonAs our lips finally parted after that electric kiss, I couldn't help but touch Serena's soft cheeks with my trembling hands. There was an intense quiet, and Serena managed to utter a simple word. "Hi."A soft chuckle escaped my lips, and I replied, "Hello."Serena's gaze shifted to the dwindling fire crackling i
DamonSerena gasped in surprise, bathed in the silvery glow of the moon. "Wait, spirit wolves?" she inquired, her words lingering in the night air like unanswered questions. "So, you have more than one spirit wolf?""Yeah," I replied.I could see the disbelief in her gaze as I let out a nervous chuckle and scratched the back of my head, feeling somewhat self-conscious. The soft rustle of leaves in the nearby trees seemed to echo her skepticism, and I couldn't help but notice how the moonlight played on her features as she shook her head in amusement.
