In the days leading up to the move, my frustration bubbled beneath the surface. "I can't believe you're making me leave everything behind!" I exclaimed to my parents.Mom tried to soothe me, "Sweetie, it's a great opportunity. New school, new friends—it's a chance for a fresh start."I crossed my arms, "Fresh start? More like starting from scratch. I finally had a group of friends, and now I have to rebuild everything."Dad chimed in, "Change is part of life, Tanya. You're not leaving your memories behind; you're making room for new ones."I sighed, "I don't want new memories; I want my old ones. Why can't things just stay the same?"Mom hugged me, "We understand it's hard, but change brings growth. You'll see, Shadowclaw might surprise you."I remained unconvinced, muttering under my breath, "I doubt it."As moving day approached, I reluctantly packed up my room, holding onto the familiarity of my old life.I sat in my room, surrounded by moving boxes and a heavy heart. The news of my impending move to Shadowclaw had hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn't help but feel a deep sadness welling up inside me. Shadowclaw was a new city, a new school, and a new life that I wasn't ready for.As I stared out the window, lost in my thoughts, my parents barged into my room with determined expressions on their faces. Mom sighed, "Tanya, we've talked about this. Moving to Shadowclaw will be a fresh start for you."Looking down, my voice trembling, "But Mom, I don't want to leave everything behind. I have friends here, and I finally found my place."Dad chimed in, "We understand it's tough, Tanya, but think about the opportunities that await you in Shadowclaw. A better school, new experiences, and a chance to grow."My eyes welled up with tears, "I know, Dad, but it's just so hard. I don't want to start over again."My mom's voice softened, "Sweetheart, change can be scary, but sometimes it's necessary for growth. We're here to support you every step of the way."A heated exchange ensued, with Tanya expressing her sadness and frustration, and her parents trying to convince her of the opportunities that awaited them in Shadowclaw. It was a clash of desires and expectations, leaving Tanya feeling unheard and trapped.“But…..” I tried saying. “Enough!!” Dad screamed in an outburst. “Penelope and I have been trying to be understanding and soft in trying to cajole you into this, we will not be accommodating of your bratty attitude anymore!” Dad said in a raised voice while breathing erratically.I was too stunned to speak. Is this the same loving and doting father I had grown accustomed to all these years? I started crying and bawling my eyes out. This angered Dad more, he just huffed and walked out on me.“It's okay dear, don't cry. He's just worried that you’d have to spend another year at home while your mates are moving ahead. Try to understand him” " Mom said in an apathetic manner before leaving the room to me and my depressing thoughts.Hours later, I stood by my bedroom window, the soft glow of the fading sunset casting a warm hue on the room. Cardboard boxes lay scattered around, remnants of a life I was leaving behind. The weight of change settled in my chest as I traced the familiar rooftops of my old neighborhood."Why do we have to move, Mom? I don't want to leave everything behind," My voice wavered, a mix of frustration and sadness.Mom, busy packing dishes in the kitchen, turned to look at me with a sympathetic smile. "It's a fresh start, sweetheart. Shadowclaw will be good for you. You'll make new friends, and I heard it's a beautiful place."I clench my fists, my patience wearing thin. "I don't want new friends! I want my old life. Why can't things just stay the same?"My father entered the room, his expression a mix of understanding and firmness. "Tanya, we've been over this. This move is good for you and the family. Your mom and I have been through a lot of societal embarrassment because of your lack of getting into the university… we finally got an admission offer from Mystique University, and we need to take this opportunity.”Feeling a surge of frustration. "What about what I need? No one cares about how I feel."A tense silence filled the room, the unspoken tension thickening the air. Emotions simmered beneath the surface, waiting to erupt."You're being selfish, Tanya," my mother snapped, her patience wearing thin. "We're doing what's best for everyone. You need to understand that."My eyes welled with tears as I glared at my parents. "Best for everyone except me."The room echoed with the weight of unspoken words. Dad sighed, a mixture of sympathy and disappointment in his eyes. "You're leaving tomorrow. I expect you to be ready."As my parents left the room, I sank onto her bed, her emotions in turmoil. The walls of my room felt like they were closing in, trapping me in a future I hadn't chosen. I wished I could escape, run away from the impending change. But as the first tear rolled down my cheek, I knew I had no choice but to face the unknown.After realizing this, I stared at every corner of my room. The four walls are filled with different posters and pictures holding the dearest of memories, the interior decor purchased and used to decorate my room by Orion and me 2 months ago. I started crying profusely. Being all alone in my room, I had the time to process everything my parents said and I decided to move to ShadowClaw. If not for myself, then I'll do it for my family.

His Human Mate Chapter 74
Tristan's POV. In a short matter of time, my men and I were at the Old Nights Villa. As usual, the house looked deserted and with the thick eeriness that covered the whole place, it took only the strong minded to go close. The house had been labeled haunted hence unapproachable since I was a young boy and I hadn't been here too. We were all ready to go in and fight to redeem our pack and take my mate back home with me. I turned and signalled my men to go ahead and surround the house while Tarrell and I stayed back. We headed into the house after my men had all taken their respective positions. As we stepped into the house, the eeriness followed. The living room was filled with dust and cobwebs, making it look deserted. Even with the eerie outlook of the room, I could still feel the presence of someone else hovering steadily in the room. "Someone is in here, I can feel it." Tarrell said as though he read my mind."You can feel it too..." I turned to him and said. "It's easy to fi

TristanAs regards the information we got from Tanya and her friends, the rogues who caused all the trouble for me were still very much in my pack and I had to plan discreetly before taking them out. I gathered my men in the meeting area outside my office space and after having a brief one with them, I turned to the rest of my men.“As you all know, we have found a way to tune down the phenomenon that has threatened our peace over the last few days and we have our Luna to thank for that. But that is not all, I have some interesting news to share.” I could see the cheerfulness on their faces but that was until I spoke again. “An interesting news that is a bit disturbing thus, we need to handle it immediately. The rogues are in our pack. They have been running their affairs secretly from the Old Nights Villa.” The announcement came to them as a shock, it was evident from the way they exchanged questionable glances at each other. The gazes were accompanied with murmuring. “Now I blame

Tanya's POVI woke up with a loud headache, looking around, all I could see was darkness. Only then did I remember that I had been captured by those strange men and my driver was killed."Help! Help!!" I cried out. I heard footsteps approaching and I shouted again. "Help!" The door opened revealing a tall figure, at least from where I sat, he was tall. The light shone through the door into the room. "Who are you and why did you bring me here? Where is this place?" I asked the man who walked in.The man said nothing and just stood there watching me. Moments later, I heard the sound of a phone tapping like he was about to call someone. "She is awake, I heard him say to whoever it was that he called. "I am coming there now." The other man said from the other end of the phone. I was consumed with fear at that moment, I covered my hands over my chest as though I was trying to stop my heart from escaping my body. The small hairs across my body stood on end as tingle rushed across my s
His Human Mate Chapter 71
Orion’s POVWe waited at the house while my men went into the pack as usual to spread out the substance. It was past the time they usually returned and that was when anxiety set in. I stood outside the balcony pacing and looking out for them. I heard footsteps approaching and I immediately hid behind the pillar, I took out my knife and waited for whoever it was to come. I peeped through to see who it was as he approached. It was one of my men, he was injured badly. Even without asking, I knew something wasn’t right.“What happened? Where are the rest of your men? I impatiently asked. He didn’t say anything and just fell to the ground. Taking a closer look at him, I saw that he was beaten on the neck. “I’m asking you a damn question.” I yelled at him as I was running out of patience. “They were killed and they took the rest of them. We have a problem. The substance is no longer working and from what we gathered, the Alpha’s mate concocted an antidote and all the pack members took i

Tristan’s POVDarkness spread all over the place and the time had also gone too. I entered the room to meet her curled up in a duvet. She was already asleep. She had been working all through the day and she needed sleep. I walked over and sat on the bed beside her. I gently pushed away the strands of hair that covered her face. She batted her eyes and slowly opened them then smiled sweetly. "Hey!" She greeted me."Hey Princess." I responded. She gently sat up with her back leaning to the bed frame. "I'm sorry I slept off, I was too tired. How did it go?" She asked with her sleep filled eyes and voice. "It's okay, I need you to sleep too, you had a long day...and, it went well, we were able to distribute the substance to the people. Thank you Tanya, this is by far the greatest thing anyone has ever done for me." I was really grateful. "We were made for each other, so whatever pain you feel, I feel it too, your people are mine and I will be here to help in any and every way I can."
His Human Mate Chapter 69
Tristan's POV Gathering the people wasn't going to be an easy task but I was going to get it done regardless. As we drove further into the pack, I brought my phone out and placed a call to Tarrell. "Get the men ready and hurry to the houses closer to the borders, assemble all of them at the old pack house. Let every living soul Shadowclaw pack be there, young and old, male and female. Do it now!" I ordered. I ended the call and sat back in the seat. I couldn't lie, my body was shaking. The emotions that engulfed me at that point were intense in every level, relief and fear spread through my insides too."We will stop by the house, Princess, you won't be joining us. It's too risky for you and the..." I halted immediately. She didn't know it yet and that wasn't the best time to break such news to her. Immediately she looked at me with confused eyes, she knew I wanted to say something but I decided not to. "Is everything okay Tristan?" She quietly asked. In order not to lie to her
