MasukAsher s POV It was evening by the time we started the journey back to my pack. We captured two rogues moving between trees near the old watchtower. One was badly injured; blood soaked the side of his shirt, his breathing remained shallow, and sweat glistened on his forehead while the other one was okay. He just got a few cuts and bruises.My first instinct was to kill them because they had fought us hard and injured two of my strong men; my Gamma and a very skilled warrior but Blake suggested that killing them would only make us lose our leads. We need to interrogate them separately and find out if they were acting alone or on someone else's orders.The captured rogues were placed in separate vehicles, each accompanied by armed warriors. The injured men travelled with our medical team, who had been summoned to the forest as soon as the extent of their injuries became clear.The badly wounded rogue had lost consciousness before we reached the vehicles. The pack doctor checked his puls
Melody's POVAsher's gaze lingered on me for a long moment. I couldn't tell what he was thinking, but there was something tense about his expression, something that made me instinctively draw my cardigan closer around myself.Finally, he turned to Blake."We have a problem," he said.Blake straightened. "What happened?""There was a rogue attack at the eastern boundary less than an hour ago. Two of our warriors were ambushed while on patrol with warriors from your pack."Blake's expression hardened. "Are the men alive?""Yes. They're currently in the pack hospital receiving treatment. They're badly injured, but the doctors are attending to them."Blake exhaled slowly."How many rogues?""We don't know yet. The patrol reported at least four, possibly more. They disappeared into the forest before reinforcements arrived," Asher said.I watched the exchange in silence, trying to process what I was hearing. The thought of Rogues invading our pack sent a chill down my spine.Growing up, I w
Melody's POV Blake and I looked at each other, then we both burst out laughing."Your family is wonderful," he said."My family is a menace," I corrected."They love you.""They do. Unfortunately, they have decided that embarrassing me is their preferred way of expressing it."He laughed again, and I found myself smiling at the sound.We walked away from the house, following the familiar path that led towards the woodland behind the eastern gardens. The air was cool and fresh, carrying the earthy scent of damp soil and leaves. Sunlight filtered through the trees, scattering golden patches across the path.I have always loved the Moonwater Trail. It is one of the few places in Shadows Pack where I could sit quietly and enjoy the scenery.Before everything fell apart with Asher, I often came here when I needed time to think. Sometimes I would sit beside the stream and read. Other times, I would simply listen to the water and let my thoughts wander.I didn't realize how much I missed it
Melody's POV THREE HOURS EARLIER I was beginning to suspect that my mother had developed a new hobby; embarrassing me. Because judging by the way she's been smiling at me all morning, she was getting very good at it. It started shortly after breakfast preparations began. Aunt Lucia and her family were getting ready to return to Eclipse Pack, while my mother moved between the kitchen and dining room, making sure everyone of them had eaten enough to survive the journey back home. My father already left for work, leaving me to deal with the women in my family. A dangerous situation, if you ask me. "So…," Aunt Lucia said, drawing out the word as she folded a piece of clothing into her travel bag. "You and Alpha Blake seemed to have had a lovely time last night." I nearly choked on my water. "Excuse me?" She looked at me innocently. "You both spent quite some time outside last night." "He was our guest, Aunt Lucia. I was only being friendly." "Of course." She nodded solemnly. "And
Asher's POV The warrior stopped in front of me, bent forward with his hands braced against his thighs as he struggled to catch his breath."Alpha..." He tried to speak, but his voice broke.I stepped closer."Stand straight and speak clearly," I demanded.He forced himself upright."Two of our warriors were attacked during border patrol, Alpha. They were patrolling the eastern boundary with warriors from Oakwood Pack when a group of rogues ambushed them."My wolf stood up immediately."Where?" I asked."Near the old watchtower, Alpha. Close to the boundary markers.""When did this happen?" Alexander asked. He was standing beside me now."Less than an hour ago. Another patrol found them and raised the alarm.""How many rogues?" I asked."We're not certain. The warriors saw at least four, but they said there may have been more hiding in the trees."My wolf was on edge.Rogues attacking our border patrols was bad enough but attacking a joint patrol involving Oakwood warriors was worse.
Asher’s POVThe following morning, I found Alexander at the Moonstone Pavilion, a secluded spot on the eastern side of the Alpha's quarters where the forest met the training grounds. It was one of the few places on pack territory where I could sit without being interrupted by anyone. The pavilion was built around an enormous ancient oak tree, its thick branches stretched over a circular stone terrace. Wooden benches surrounded a low table carved from dark cedar, and a narrow stream flowed nearby, its gentle murmurs blending with the chirping of birds.The air carried the fresh scent of pine, damp earth, and the faint traces of wolves returning from their morning runs. I have spent countless hours here with Alexander over the years. We used this place to escape our tutors, argue about everything from pack politics to women, and make promises we were too young to understand but these days, our conversations were rarely that simple.Alexander sat on one of the benches, a steaming mug of
