“Are you sure this is what you want son?” Landon eyed him seriously, he knew Will was a mature and intelligent young man who would someday make a fine Alpha, he only regretted that he would be thrown into the deep end by recent events. “I am sure, Uncle Landon, this is what I was born to do.” Without a hint of hesitation in his voice, WIll claimed his rightful position. “In that case, by the power vested in me by the Alpha Council and the Lockwood pack, I Beta Landon Pierce hereby declare you, William Lockwood as Alpha of the Lockwood pack.” Will nodded curtly and turned back to face Alpha Greene. “Has the Alpha Council been notified of the circumstances?” Alpha Greene’s lips pursed distastefully. “Yes, but unfortunately there is more bad news on that front. I received news early this morning that six other Alphas were attacked on their way to the Council chambers. Most got away with minimal injuries, but regretfully Alpha Augustus Sentinel and Alpha Clarence, as well as his so

“Will this plan is ridiculous, what do you even plan to do once you’re there?” Max burst, standing from his chair to pace the office behind his desk.  “The other Alphas have already agreed to send ten of their best warriors each to form an army. I waited till you were better and able to care for the pack once again, but I won’t sit back and wait for them to bring us to extinction!” Will narrowed his eyes challengingly at his father.  “Will- I…” Max ran a hand through his hair and sighed aloud. “You didn’t deserve the predicament you were put in while I was out of commission, but have you forgotten that they're after you too?!” Max’s agitation was quickly turning to anger, both at Will’s insistence and at the impossible situation they were i

For the first time in decades, the Royal Lycan Palace was alive with the laughter and chatter of its native kin. Alphas from around the world arrived clad in their finest attire to celebrate their victory over the hunters. “Ladies and gentlemen, may I please have your attention.” the spokesperson of the royal institution announced and all eyes focussed on him standing at the podium. “Today we celebrate not only the victory of the Lycan kind against one of its greatest enemies but also the return of the Royal family to the Palace.” He paused for dramatic effect, “For decades the identity of the Royal clan was kept a secret to protect them from the wrath of the hunters, as some may know, hunters, humans, and werewolves used to be one till the plague known as Sicarius caused many to lose their shifting abilities. Hunters, unlike humans, maintained the recessive shifter gene which made them stronger and set them apart from humans, thus creating three different races.” The speaker pause

As the distance between Will and the Lockwood pack grew, so did Kiah’s anxiety. The Lockwood pack welcomed her openly and she easily felt like she belonged despite not being a shifter which came as a surprise to her, but still, she found herself missing something. “I love you and I’m tired of pretending I don’t, I’m tired of waiting on a promise spoken of by others.” Kiah halted in her step and her eyes widened, certain she was intruding on a private moment but found herself eager to hear the response to the man’s words. “Zai…” The girl sobbed, sounding happy, yet mournful at the same time, “We can’t do this-” Her words were cut off by a startled gasp and Kiah curiously peeked around the bushes only to see Azaiah and Serenity’s lips locked in a passionate kiss. The reminiscent smile that formed on her lips only increased the ache in her heart and Kiah turned away, deciding she would come back to the little sanctuary later. “You’d be proud, Will.” She whispered to herself, chuck

Will’s face had become a familiar one at Alpha council meetings, having gone from never even being a guest at them to attending them regularly was seemingly paradoxical, but none of the Alphas seemed to notice, or if they did, none had the guts to point it out- certainly not after the second round of attacks occurred based on Will’s prediction. “Commander Lockwood, is there a reason you have insisted on summoning us to the palace for this meeting, as you yourself are aware, the recent attacks on our packs have left them vulnerable, and having alphas away from their packs leaves them more vulnerable to attack.” The Chairman himself was displeased at Will’s actions and he smirked inwardly at how easy it was to upset these men despite only requesting the meeting be held at the palace and not insisting. “I have a few findings I thought it best you heard in person and a picture of what the future holds.” Will stood up and clicked the power button on the wall-to-wall screen in the boardro
