Chapter: Side story 11GWEN 10 YEARS LATER The pack house was filled with noise and movement from the early hours of the morning. Today was my second son, Alex's seventh birthday, and no one was allowed to sit still for long. I had been up since dawn, checking the decorations in the hall, making sure the cake had arrived, and giving instructions to the omegas who were helping with the food. “Please put the extra tables near the windows,” I said, pointing at the far end of the hall. “And bring out the chairs from the storage room. There will be more guests than usual.” “Yes, Luna,” they replied quickly, hurrying to do as I asked. The children were outside already, running and screaming with excitement before the party even began. I could hear their laughter through the open windows, and every few seconds my daughter Raya’s voice rang above the others, usually bossing her brother around. “Raya!” I shouted from the doorway when I caught sight of her hitting Alex with a stick. “Do not hit your brothe

Chapter: Side story 10ALPHA CONAN The cell was silent except for the faint dripping of water. Archer’s chains clinked when he shifted slightly, but he had no real strength left. He hung against the wall, skin torn and bruised, yet still smiling.That smirk was the last straw.I stepped forward and slammed my fist across his face. His head snapped to the side, blood flying from his mouth. He groaned but then gave a short laugh.I punched him again, harder, until the smirk vanished. His lip split open, and blood ran down his chin.“Laugh now,” I growled, grabbing his hair and yanking his head back.He spat blood at my feet. “This is all you can do?”I kneed him in the stomach, the air rushing out of him in a harsh grunt. While he struggled to breathe, I clawed at his chest, dragging deep lines into his skin until the blood poured freely. His scream echoed through the stone chamber, raw and sharp.I leaned close. “This is for every thought you had of her.”He groaned, trying to lift his head, but I smashed h

Chapter: Side story 9ALPHA CONANI had not spoken a word of this to Gwen. She thought Archer had disappeared without a trace, but I knew better. Men like Archer did not disappear quietly. They hid, they plotted, and they waited for a moment of weakness to strike.For weeks, I gathered pieces of information quietly. I did not question anyone directly inside the Mystic Pack, because word traveled fast and I could not risk Gwen hearing of it. Instead, when I traveled for meetings or border patrols, I pressed for answers from warriors of other lands. Some claimed they had not seen him. Others said he had crossed their territory briefly but left in haste. Then, one night during a meeting at the southern border, I got word from a man who dealt in supplies that Archer had been taken captive in Alpha Oren’s lands.I said nothing then, but the moment I returned to my office I began planning my trip. I had not told Alpha Oren about my visit, it was too delicate to talk about over the phone.Rian offered to accompa

Chapter: Side story 8GWENI woke up to the sound of thousands of voices filling my head. They overlapped and rushed through me like a flood, men and women, young and old, some laughing, some arguing, some worrying. It was unbearable, and I let out a groan, clutching my head with both hands.The sound was not outside…it was inside my mind. I could hear them all at once.Conan stirred immediately beside me, his hand reaching for me. His voice came sharp with worry. “Gwen, what is wrong?”I whimpered, unable to stop the sound that left my throat. “I can hear them. All of them. Every single voice. It’s so loud, Conan. Stop it please.”His tone softened instantly, filled with understanding “It is the bond. It opened completely last night. You are connected now, not just to me, but to the entire pack through me. It is too much at once. Look at me, Gwen.”I shook my head, rocking slightly, pressing my palms against my ears as though that would block it out. “It will not stop. It will not stop.”He sat up quickl

Chapter: Side story 7ALPHA CONANThe forest echoed with the sound of paws hitting the ground. I chased after Gwen, and every time I thought I was close enough to catch her, she pushed herself faster, her silver fur flashing between the trees. She wanted this chase, she wanted to test me, and I was more than willing to give her everything she asked for.I pushed harder, matching her speed, closing the gap between us little by little. She darted left and right, but I refused to give her the satisfaction of escaping. Finally, as she slowed to glance back at me, I surged forward and leapt. My weight pressed her down just enough to pin her before she twisted around and pushed me off, growling in play.We circled each other, snapping harmlessly, teasing, testing strength. She jumped forward and pushed me again before darting back with a playful bark. I followed, and soon we were running side by side, neither giving up ground, both filled with raw energy.When the teasing had gone on long enough, I huffed, telli

Chapter: Side story 6ALPHA CONANWhen I entered the room, Gwen was already asleep. The moonlight came in through the window and rested on her. She looked so peaceful that for a moment I just stood there, watching her breathe. I asked myself how I could have been so blind before, how I could have taken so long to see what was in front of me.I walked quietly to the bathing room, took off my clothes, and let the water wash away the sweat from training. When I was done, I dried myself and came back to bed. I slid under the blanket carefully so I would not wake her, but she stirred almost immediately. Without opening her eyes, she moved closer to me, her body pressing against mine.A smile came to my lips as I wrapped an arm around her.“You are back,” she mumbled, her voice heavy with sleep.“Yes,” I answered softly. “I am done training.”“Good,” she whispered. “Now sleep.”I brushed my hand down her arm. “Go back to sleep, Gwen.”She let out a tired sigh, then the words came faintly from her lips. “I love y

Chapter: chapter 35TamaraI sat across the small wooden table from my mother. The silence stretched between us, heavy with all the unsaid words, until the dam finally broke and the entire truth spilled out of me."I want to give up on him, Mom," I whispered, my voice cracking as the first hot tear slipped down my cheek. "I really do. One minute he treats me like I am his whole world, and the next minute he treats me like a stranger or a nuisance. He is so hot and cold with me that I feel like I am losing my mind, and Earth is going to have to leave me here. In a place where I have almost no one to call my friend, because everybody hates me."My mother listened quietly, her thumb gently stroking the back of my hand as she let me pour out every hurt, every insult, and every humiliating moment I had endured since coming here"Why couldn't I have a type of love like you and Dad have?" I asked, my voice trembling as the frustration bubbled over. "Why does a female always have to sacrifice her peace of mind f

Chapter: chapter 34TamaraI watched as Ryder let out a loud growl before He and Earth both spoke the same word at the exact same time."Mate," they said.Ryder began walking toward her, but he did not look like he was in control anymore. His eyes were glowing with a wild golden colour and his movements were predatory. It was clear his wolf had taken complete control of his body. Earth looked terrified as she watched him move towards her like that. She started growling back at him, her own wolf fighting to come out, and she began to move backward to put distance between them, because she probably thought he wanted to hurt her. The more she tried to move away, the more angry Ryder became. He crouched low, his muscles bunching up as he prepared to lunge for her, his wolf beginning to take control and He was going for her throat… to mark her. Earth braced herself, her hands coming out into claws, ready to fight for her life if she had to. She genuinely looked so confused… she was probably wondering why h

Chapter: chapter 33TamaraI sat on the edge of the bed with my knees pulled up to my chest, staring blindly at the wooden door. I did not want to go out again. I did not want to face the pitying glances or the mocking smiles of the pack members who had watched me get humiliated just hours before.How did we get back to this point?I thought he actually felt something real for me beneath all that cold armor. But sitting here in the quiet dark, I realized I was just a fool. A big, pathetic fool to ever believe that he could truly care for someone like me.My mind went back to the sharp words Elder Miko had thrown at me in the office. The elder was right. He did not actually love me. If he did, he would not have publicly cut me down and pushed me away just because I reacted to seeing him standing too close to Serena. He used the excuse of the pack rules to hide behind his own walls, proving that I meant nothing more than a convenient duty to him.A cold wave of despair washed over me, bringing the heavy t

Chapter: chapter 32TamaraThe morning sun rose over the tall trees, casting a bright golden light across the training grounds as I walked out of the pack house with the words of the trial book still fresh in my mind. Earth was already waiting by the edge of the dirt field, her arms crossed as I walked up to her, she let out a long breath and looked right into my eyes."Did you read the book?" Earth asked, her voice dropping to a quiet tone so the other nearby pack members would not hear."Yes, I did," I answered, keeping my voice calm and steady.Earth studied my face closely, looking for any sign of panic or fear. "Are you okay with everything in it? Do you understand what you are walking into?"I smiled softly and let out a light giggle, hoping to break the tension between us. "Earth, do not put on such a serious face," I said, nudging her shoulder gently. "It is not that deep. I have read it, and I understand the rules. But I still want to go ahead with this. I believe in the bond. I truly believe

Chapter: Chapter 31Tamara“Get the book of Trials from North today.”Those words from Earth echoed in my mind as I walked back from the woods and headed straight toward the main pack house. My feet carried me up the familiar stairs and down the quiet hallway until I reached the door of the Alpha office. I did not want to push but Earth made it clear that I needed this information. I raised my hand and knocked softly on the door, waiting for a moment before pushing the door open and stepping inside the room.North was standing by his desk, looking over some papers with a serious expression on his face. When the door clicked shut, he lifted his head and his dark eyes locked onto mine. The usual tension that always seemed to fill the space between us softened just a little bit when he saw me standing there. "Tamara," he said, his voice deep and smooth as he walked slowly around the desk toward me. "Is everything alright?"I offered him a small, polite smile, trying to keep my nerves under control. I did

Chapter: Chapter 30TamaraThe memory of Serena bursting in and cutting our private moment short left a bitter feeling in my mind. As I stepped outside into the sunlight on my way to the training ground, I spotted Earth waiting by the edge of the trees. She looked up as I approached, her warm expression softening when she saw my tired face."Are you okay, Tammy?" Earth asked, stepping closer to inspect me. "I assumed you went up to your room?."I let out a heavy sigh, crossing my arms over my chest. "I am just tired of Serena," I complained, shaking my head. "She acts like she owns the place, and it is so obvious that she wants North for herself. Everywhere I turn, she is right there glaring at me. Am I being a baby about this? He is my mate Earth… not hers"Earth let out a loud laugh and shook her head. "Oh, Tammy. That is to be expected," she said with a knowing smile. "First of all, Serena is the lead warrior so of course she will be around the Alpha most times and secondly, she has trained for years

Chapter: chapter 6HannahI stood inside the bedroom, my heart pounding against my ribs,as I tried to hear what they were saying outside, and the word "Alpha" still echoing in my mind. If Derek was just a lone wolf living in the woods, why did someone call him that? My curiosity won and I leaned forward, pressing my ear against the cool wood of the door to catch more.I strained to listen, but the door handle was old and loose. As I shifted my weight, my hand slipped, and the handle turned under my palm. I lost my balance. I stumbled forward, my feet tangling in my own legs, and I crashed through the door, landing hard on the wooden floor of the outer room.My face heated up with total embarrassment. I scrambled to get up, my hair falling into my eyes. I looked up and saw Derek standing there. Beside him stood a massive man with a thick beard and tired eyes. They both looked at me, surprised.My first instinct was to run. I did not know who this other man was, and I still did not know the truth about

Chapter: chapter 5HannahI woke up slowly. The air was warm, and the smell of fresh rain and the forest filled the room. I was lying in a soft bed with thick blankets tucked tightly around me. I looked at my hands and sat up quickly, my heart beating fast. Where was I?The room was small but clean. A fire crackled in the stone fireplace, casting a soft orange glow over everything. I heard a quiet sound near the door, and the man who saved me walked into the room. He carried a wooden bowl with steaming soup.He stopped when he saw me sitting up. He stayed near the door, keeping his distance to show he was not a threat."You are awake," he said. His voice was really deep. "I am Derek."I stared at him. Up close, I saw his dark, kind eyes and the strong line of his jaw. As he stepped closer, the scent of rain and pine grew stronger. My heart began pounding again. My wolf recognized him fully now. The bond pulled at my chest, warm and overwhelming.He was my true mate.Derek set the bowl down on a small

Chapter: chapter 4Hannah The cold was no longer just outside; it had settled deep into my bones. I had been walking for three days without a real meal. My body felt like it belonged to someone else. Every step was a fight against gravity. I was not just hungry; I was completely empty.I reached a small, rocky overhang near the base of a dark cliff. It offered little protection, but it was all I could manage. My legs gave out, and I collapsed onto the freezing ground. I curled into a ball, pulling my tattered dress tight around me, but it did nothing to stop the shivering.I stared at the dark forest ahead and I thought about the Moonpeak Pack. I thought about Brian, who had thrown me away like trash, and Ava, who had stolen everything I had ever loved. I remembered my brother, the last person who truly cared for me, and the way I had felt when his light went out.What was the point?I was tired of being hunted. I was tired of being chased away from every border like a disease. I was tired of the hung

I clutched my throat, coughing until my chest ached. I looked up at him, pleading for a shred of mercy from the man who had promised to love me, but his eyes were flat, cold stones."Brian, please," I rasped. "I did not do it. She lied to you.""Shut up!" he roared. He turned away, his voice dripping with disgust. "Get her out of my packhouse. Throw her out of the territory immediately.""Brian, no! This is my home!" I screamed, but it was useless.Three guards lunged forward. They pinned my arms, their fingers digging into my skin, and dragged me toward the back exit. I kicked and fought, but I was weak from the shock. As I was dragged out, I glanced back. Ava stood behind Brian. She cradled her hand, but her eyes were fixed on me with a sharp, triumphant smirk. The memory of her voice echoed in my head: “You will leave when I say you leave”.They

He sat behind his large desk, buried in paperwork. "Brian, we need to talk," I said.He sighed and put his pen down. "What is it, Hannah? I am very busy.""I am teaching Ava as you asked," I started, keeping my voice steady. "But I want to talk about my future. Even though I am hurt, I do not think I should have to leave the pack when I am finished. This is my only home. My friends are here. I will step down from any authority, but please, do not force me away."Brian frowned. "We already discussed this.""I know," I said. "But you broke your promise to me. I deserve to stay in my home.""You cannot stay, Hannah," he said coldly. "My mate is not comfortable. Ava knows about our past, and she wants you gone. I agree with her. It is better for everyone if you leave."I stared at him. This was the man I planned to spend my lif

He said them to me two weeks ago in front of the whole pack before he left for his meeting and today, he was finally coming back home.I felt so excited I could barely stand still. I woke up very early this morning. I put on my blue dress because I wanted to look perfect for him. For three years, I worked as the acting Luna of the Moonpeak Pack. I managed the food, helped organized the patrols, and assisted the pack members. I loved the pack, and I loved Brian. We planned to lead the pack together and my dream was finally coming true."Good morning, Hannah!" Mark, a young warrior, called out as I walked through the main hall. He bowed his head to show respect."Good morning, Mark," I replied with a wide smile."The Alpha is coming back today. We are all very excited for you," he said. "You will definitely be our official Luna by tonight.""Thank you, Mark," I said. My heart felt
