Chapter 8 Maya and the once-rejected wolf stood up, ready for whatever was coming their way. The shadowy figure stepped forward, revealing itself to be another hunter, this one holding a crossbow loaded with silver-tipped bolts.The once-rejected wolf bared his teeth, his eyes flashing with anger. "Leave us alone," he growled.The hunter just laughed. "I don't think so," he sneered. "You're a danger to everyone around you. You need to be eliminated."Before Maya and the once-rejected wolf could react, the hunter fired his crossbow. The once-rejected wolf leapt out of the way, narrowly avoiding the bolt, but Maya wasn't so lucky.The bolt struck her in the shoulder, causing her to cry out in pain. Blood trickled down her arm as she stumbled backwards.The hunter approached, a wicked grin on his face. "Looks like I got you," he taunted.Maya gritted her teeth, refusing to give up. She searched around for a weapon, anything she could use to defend herself.And then she saw it - a pie

Maya watched in awe as the two wolves worked together to take down their enemies.

There was something special about him, something that set him apart from the rest of his kind.It wasn't until Tyler was lying defeated on the ground, whimpering in submission, that Maya finally understood what it was.Alec was an Alpha, the most powerful werewolf in the pack.The once-rejected wolf had found a new pack, and he had found his true mate. Maya could see it in the way that Alec looked at the grey wolf, with a mix of respect and admiration.But Maya also knew that this newfound happiness wouldn't last for long. There were still dangers lurking in the shadows, waiting to tear them apart.As she looked into Alec's eyes, Maya knew that they would have to face those dangers together, no matte

Try to lead them away from Claire."Liam nodded, and they both leapt from the trees, charging towards the pack. As they ran, they barked and growled, drawing the pack's attention away from Claire. Liam used his speed and agility to weave in and out of the pack, while Julia used her strength to take down any wolf that got in her way.After a few minutes of this, they finally succeeded in separating the pack, and Liam was able to make his way over to Claire. He quickly bit through her restraints, freeing her."Come on, we need to go," Liam said urgently, nudging her towards the trees.But just as they turned to run, they were met with the snarling face of the largest wolf in the pack, blocking their path.Derek shook his head. "I can't let you do that, Jess. It's too dangerous."Jessica crossed her arms over her chest. "What? You don't think I can handle myself?""That's not what I'm saying," Derek replied, frustration creeping into his voice. "But we don't know what kind of danger w

“I can't believe this is happening,” she whispered, tears streaming down her face.Aaron put his arm around her, trying to comfort her. “We'll figure this out together, Selena. No matter what, I'll always be here for you and our baby,” he said firmly.Selena leaned into him, feeling a sense of comfort in his embrace. She knew that no matter what the outcome, she and Aaron would face it together.As they left the clinic, Selena's phone rang. It was an unknown number, but she answered it anyway.“Hello?” she said, her voice shaking.“Is this Selena?” a male voice asked.“Yes, who is this?” Selena replied, feeling suspicious.“I think I might be the father of your baby,” the man said.Selena's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Who was this man, and how did he know about her baby?“Who are you?” she demanded.“My name is Tyler. I was at the same party as you and Aaron a few months ago. I remember hooking up with a girl, but I didn't think anything of it u

Chapter 16 Maya and Jake made their way through the dense forest, Maya couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She kept looking over her shoulder, half-expecting to see the werewolf pack chasing after them."How much further?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly."We're almost there," Jake replied reassuringly. "Just a little while longer."They soon emerged from the forest and found themselves on the outskirts of a small town. It was a stark contrast from the wilderness they had just come from, with brightly lit streetlights and bustling sidewalks."We need to find a place to lay low for a while," Jake said, scanning the area for any potential threats."There's a motel over there," Maya pointed out, pointing to a building on the other side of the street.They hurried across the road and made their way to the motel. Maya booked a room while Jake kept watching outside, ensuring that they weren't followed.Once they were safely inside their room, Jake turned to Maya with a ser
