MOUNTAIN TOPGasping for air, Alpha William pushed himself up from the floor, his eyes locking onto the remaining hunter's anger evident in his eyes. "Your trespass into our territory was no accident," he thundered, his voice reverberating with a potent blend of fury and commanding authority. "You have a choice now: cooperate and provide us with the information we demand, or suffer the same fate as your fallen leader."The hunters exchanged uneasy glances, their bravado visibly shaken in the face of Alpha William's fierce resolve. The tension in the air was wild as they weighed their options, their minds racing to find a way out of the dire situation they had gotten themselves into."You see," Beta Marcus interjected, his tone dripping with a stern intensity, "we have ways of making you talk. And you should know, time is running out for you. It's in your best interest to cooperate."One of the hunters, a burly man with a defiant glint in his eye, stepped forward. "You think we're scar

PAID A PRICEAlpha William's heart skipped a beat as he realized that the howl belonged to none other than his sister. The knowledge settled in him like a stone, a heavy weight that stirred both worry and urgency within him. Without a second thought, he turned to his team, their eyes already meeting with a shared understanding. No words were exchanged, their purpose was communicated through their resolute expressions alone.Alpha William and his team set off, their urgent mission driving them forward with each pounding step. The source of the howl drew closer by the moment.The forest around them blurred as they ran, shadows and moonlight dancing at the edges of their vision. The wind carried the scent of earth and leaves, the symphony of night sounds enveloping them in an almost ethereal embrace. But amidst this sensory whirlwind, one thing remained clear: the howl that had pierced the night was a call they could not ignore.As they closed in on the source of the sound, Alpha Willia

Cassandra stood flushed and frustrated in the hallway, still replaying her heated exchange with William and Marcus. "Who do they think they are, denying me entry? I don't even care about Lucy that much. It's all just an act."She stormed back to her room, her thoughts consumed by anger and resentment. Once there, she flung herself onto the bed and clutched the sheets while replaying the encounter in her mind.But amidst her anger, a mischievous idea began to form.A sly smile curved Cassandra's lips as she got up from her bed. She recalled how she had overheard some of the younger pack members whisper about her growing influence, about how they admired her boldness. It was time to assert herself, to remind everyone that she wasn't to be dismissed.Cassandra stood before the mirror, her reflection meeting her determined gaze. "I will show everyone that I am not easily swayed or taken advantage of." she muttered, balling her fists. Cassandra quietly left her room, making her way down th

“What the hell” Alpha William shouted and drew back. He had bumped into something that was curled up at the door, he thought it was a pet or an animal seeking shelter in the warmth of the kitchen but when the object whelped and stood up, he knew it was a pack member. He wondered why anyone would think it was a great idea to sleep on the floor, especially in the kitchen. Shaking his head in disgust, he focused his wolf senses so he could see who it was and was surprised when he saw it was a female. What baffled him most was that he had not perceived her scent which was always poignant to him, standing before him she smelt only of exhaustion, anger, and pain."What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice hoarse and harsh more than he had intended it to be. Alpha William was aware that his exhaustion from caring for his sister was taking its toll on him. He expected Jane to explain her presence, but instead, she remained silent, her gaze fixed on the floor as if it held all the answers.

Alpha William's footsteps echoed through the ornate corridors of the pack's council chamber. He had called for the gathering within the chamber with his trusted Beta, Marcus, and the council of elders. As they settled into their seats around the grand table, Alpha William stood at the head, his gaze steady as he prepared to explain the reason why he called for an urgent meeting."Thank you all for being here," he began, his voice eloquent. "I have something of great significance to discuss."Beta Marcus leaned forward, his expression attentive. "Go ahead, Alpha William. We're all ears.""Alpha William, are you certain about this?" Elder Sofia inquired, her brow furrowed with a mix of concern and disbelief.Alpha William's gaze didn't waver. "Yes, Elder Sofia. Lucy's account holds credibility, and I have no reason to doubt her sincerity."Beta Marcus leaned forward, his expression a mix of curiosity and seriousness. "What could be Dimitri's motive for such an act?"Alpha William's jaw
