For days, the pack had been on edge, tense with fear and anxiety. The gruesome murder of Elder Walker had sparked a rampage of rogue killings by the Alpha, Nathaniel. The pack members lived in terror of his unpredictable outbursts, and no one dared to confront him."Dad, please talk to Nathaniel," Kilo begged his father, Tristian. "The pack mates are scared. They're living in fear of their lives." Kilo's voice trembled with emotion, reflecting the panic that gripped the pack.Tristian sighed, rubbing his forehead in frustration. "I'll try to talk to him, son, but you know how stubborn Nathaniel can be." He hesitated, his eyes clouding with concern. Deep down he knew that the rogue Nathaniel killed was connected with the sudden change, but he didn't have any evidence.“Don't just try, do something because I don't want the safety of our pack at stake because Nathaniel can't control his urge to kill”. Kilo groaned in frustration, it was no news that Nathaniel was temperamental and he hat

For the first time in twenty years, I had a nightmare-free sleep. I woke up feeling refreshed and sane. However, my memories of the previous day were hazy, except for the fact that I returned home covered in blood. But the lingering scent of my mate in my space told me everything I needed to know - she had been here.As I heard a knock on the door, I groggily checked the alarm clock. It was 8:30 a.m. - I had definitely overslept. I slipped on my flip-flops and opened the door to a beaming Kilo. His enthusiasm was a bit much for my morning mood, so I teased, "You're weirdly a morning person." He shot back, "And you're a moody person." I couldn't help but burst out laughing - something about today felt different, and I was surprisingly relaxed.Kilo delivered a message from our dad, requesting my presence in his room. I nodded, telling him to shut the door behind him. I considered taking a shower before heading out, but decided to just go as I was.I trailed downstairs to my uncle's roo

Nathaniel POVEmilia gazed at me nervously, her eyes wide with fear. I wiped my lips with the back of my hand, my face twisted in disgust. "What the hell was that for?" I growled, my anger simmering just below the surface.Emilia flinched backward, her eyes welling up with tears. "I...I...just..." she stammered."Answer me!" I roared, my wolf rising to the surface, repulsed by the idea of kissing someone who wasn't my mate.Emilia's words tumbled out in a rush. "I love you, Nathaniel. I've always loved you, since we were kids."I blinked repeatedly, trying to process her confession. "I know you don't love me," I said finally, my voice flat. "That's why I didn't say anything about it."The tension between us was palpable, Emilia's eyes pleading with me to understand. But my wolf and I were in agreement - we didn't want anything to do with her romantically.“Emilia, I just..”“It's okay, I can deal with your rejection, but I must be Luna” Emilia told me before walking out, I sighed as I

Katherine POVAfter classes ended, I bid farewell to Sara and waited at the bench for my sister to pick me up. As I watched other students, particularly the human ones, head home, I realized I had a long wait ahead - our house was a two-hour drive away. Just then, Stanley appeared, taunting me with a sneer. "If it isn't the pack's weakest Omega." I rolled my eyes, trying to ignore him, but Stanley wouldn't let up. He approached me, his frown deepening as I continued to disregard him. "Don't you play with me omega” he taunted with a inhumane growl, his eyes turning abnormal red, my eyes widened as I glanced around if any human saw that.I glared at me before hissing, “don't behave like a fucking pup, we are on human lands” I whispered to him. His eyes changed back to normal as he darted around checking if anyone saw him.“Don't go running your mouth to the alpha” Stanley threatened me, before shoveling me roughly to the ground. His minions burst out laughing as he went into his car a

Katherine POVPain. It was all I could feel, like my heart was shattering into a million pieces and scattering across the earth. I opened my eyes to a blindingly bright sky, covering them with my hand to shield myself from the sunlight. As I moved, the pain ceased, and I realized I was lying on sand. I turned around, disoriented, taking in my unfamiliar surroundings. Why was I in the desert? I walked around in circles, searching for answers or a solution, but my family was nowhere to be found. The last thing I remembered was Steve performing a ritual on me... how did I end up here? Exhausted and dehydrated, I collapsed onto a nearby log, watching as the ground began to rumble and the birds took flight. I tried to run, but the dust obscured my vision, and I tripped, landing with a heavy thud.As I struggled to get up, a massive sandstorm engulfed me, reducing visibility to almost zero. The howling wind and stinging sand made it hard to breathe. I covered my face with my hands and stu
