I couldn't help but feel grateful for the kindness and generosity we had received when we were guests at Leo's maternal grandmother's house in the Calve Pack as we said our goodbyes. She had brought a sense of calm to our travel, and I knew Leo treasured his time with her.We ate breakfast with her before we left, once again enjoying a dish that showcased her culinary abilities. We knew we had to leave this peaceful location and return to the busy life in the Sunshine pack, so it was a bittersweet time.We left the house with our bags packed and our hearts full of gratitude, vowing to return soon. I was really affected by Leo's grandmother's attendance since she had been an unexpected but lovely part of our trip.Although, I despise Leo's family, this grandmother makes me want to love her so much because of her kindness. I guess I would like her. The environment changed from the calm beauty of the Calve Pack to the comfort of our own territory as we made our way back to the Sunshine

The Sunshine pack's castle included a vast meeting room with comfy seats around a wide circular table in the middle. Numerous significant conversations about the affairs of the pack took place there. The Alpha, his council of elders, and his son Leo had convened on this particular day to talk about a number of issues pertaining to the health of the pack.The Alpha at the head of the table, a formidable and powerful man. With his graying hair and imposing appearance, it was obvious why he was the leader of the pack. The elders surrounded him, their knowledge and wisdom showing on their worn features.The Alpha opened the meeting with a strong voice that echoed across the whole space, "Thank you all for coming." "We need to talk about a few things today in relation to our pack's condition. I want to start by talking about our food source.Elder Thomas, a bearded man of many years, raised his voice. "Thanks to our successful crops and hunting teams, Alpha, our food supply has been steady

As I sat there in the quiet corner of the royal gardens, the silvery light of the moon like a comforting blanket over me. These quiet moments, when the moon was watching me carefully, were periods of introspection and solace for me.A soothing diversion from the strain of my training was supplied by the sound of gentle leaves rustling and a pleasant breeze caressing my skin as I sat there lost in my own thoughts. The soft tunes of the natural world's lullaby made my senses dance. This was nothing like the daytime loudness and activity of the palace.Then a voice that I knew all too well broke the stillness. "Enjoying the cold breeze, Anna?"Leo was coming closer, and I could see his figure in the moonlight as I turned to look at him. His presence was unwelcome yet not unwelcome. I nodded and gave himna little smile in acknowledgment. "Yes, Leo. The night is peaceful and the moonlight is rather reassuring."He sat down next me, his gaze fixed on the same beautiful moon that had drawn m

Gabriella left the palace carrying a basket that had been woven. As one of the pack's maids, she was tasked to get some goods from the market, a chore she often completed. She strolled down the well-trod route that led to the bustling marketplace with light feet and her long, brown hair swinging gracefully in her wake.Gabriella was glowing golden as the sun warmed her as she moved across pack territory. She felt happier because of the lovely weather and the gorgeous day. Gabriella has always had a positive outlook on life and enjoyed the little things in life.She could see the vibrant kiosks and the commotion of the pack members as she got closer to the marketplace. The market served as the hub of the pack's activities, where members congregated to swap news and pleasantries in addition to trading items. It was an energetic and vibrant location.Gabriella saw a familiar figure as she was making her way through the stalls. It was Josh, her partner. When Gabriella saw him, she couldn'

Leo lay in his bed, his mind distracted by the unexpected and wonderful meeting with Anna. A warm, self-indulgent grin touched his lips as he replayed the event in his mind, over and over again. He couldn't help it; he was absolutely captivated.He recalled the feel of Anna's lips, the short contact that had sent electric currents through his body. It had been an impulsive move, formed out of an unsaid bond that seemed to grow deeper with each passing day. He had desired to feel closer to her, to overcome the distance that separated them.A quiet giggle slipped his lips as he remembered the astonishment on Anna's face when he had leaned in to kiss her. She had resisted at first, her resolve to keep her distance clear in her gaze. But suddenly something had altered, and he had seen the flash of doubt in her eyes.Leo had pushed on, his pulse beating in his chest. The minute their lips had connected, it had been like an explosion of emotions, a union of wants and unsaid words. It was a
