The hungry looking rogues circled us, smacking their lips together and growling. Rachel pulled me into her and let out a kick to one of the rogues. She was a great fighter while I just stood their like a useless idiot. Picking up a long stick beside me I poked one of the rogues in the eye making him yell out in pain. Buying myself a few more minutes to think, I found myself wishing I could reach Ben by mindlink. "We're coming. Don't worry." His voice filled my mind and I squeaked in response. How the hell did that happen? Having no time to process these sudden unexpected mind link powers, I ran and jumped as high as I could muster, at the nearest tree. Clinging onto a branch with all my strength I managed to climb up on it before the rogue beneath me attempted to pull me down. Seconds later the rogue was shot dead by someone in the bushes opposite. I screamed in panic but then out jumped Ben and Daniel in their wolf forms along with a few of the warriors. Ben's wolf was beautiful, thick black fur and and he was extremely strong. Taking down the remaining rogues easily in a matter of seconds. We were finally safe but Ben was furious to say the least. They quickly changed back to their human selves. "The guards on patrol were attacked and the rogues got in that way. Thankfully our other guards were alerted and we managed to sort the situation from escalating further. You both should not have come out this far." Alpha Ben glared at the pair of us. "Oh Ben I'm so sorry. Please don't be mad at us. Rachel just wanted to help me feel at home, we got chatting." I said feeling ashamed and embarrassed at being told off like that. His face softened and I hurried to him and he wrapped me in his arms. " I can't believe I mind linked. That's never happened before." I exclaimed. Ben and Daniel exchanged glances but I didn't make a deal of it. They probably just thought it was abit weird. "Alpha we should probably be heading back now." Daniel said to which Ben nodded in agreement. They changed again into their wolf forms as that would get us back alot quicker. Rachel was already on Daniels back holding onto his fur tightly as he began to run through the forest followed by me on Ben's back. I held onto him like my life depended on it.
As they stepped into the cool, damp air of the night, the rain had transformed into a light drizzle, misting the surroundings in a haze. The world outside felt lush and alive, yet ominous with an undercurrent of uncertainty. George led the way, Elora and Maya close behind, each step bringing them closer to a sanctuary that felt both like a refuge and a line crossed. "Stay close," George advised, casting a watchful glance over his shoulder. "We don't know who might be watching."Elora nodded, clutching the strap of her backpack tightly. The weight of her belongings felt significant, but it was nothing compared to the emotional burden she carried. With each step, she fought to push back the creeping doubts and fears about what lay ahead.Maya, sensing Elora’s unease, took her hand in a reassuring grip. "You’re going to be okay," she whispered, her voice a soft murmur beneath the steady rhythm of the raindrops. "Remember, you're with us now."Elora squeezed her hand in return, grateful
The air hung thick with unspoken truths and unspoken words. Elora's eyes, still redrimmed, darted between George and Maya, flickering between emotions."What do you mean, what happens now?" she asked, her voice barely audible. Her voice wavered as her question trailed off. She looked at George and Maya, a hint of uncertainty, fear, and hope in her eyes.Maya's response was firm and reassuring. "Now, we secure your safety, Elora. You will be safe here. We'll protect you. We're a pack, and we take care of our own. We’ll take care of you. We stay together, always.""I appreciate it, both of you," Elora said. "It's just a lot to take in," she added quietly. "A lifetime of pretending…knowing you existed and being afraid of the implications. Now, finding out that my father is the cause of this all?" She paused and swallowed hard. "Who I thought was the cause?" she asks."He's the one that caused all this. He's the one who made the choices that brought you here. But it's not your fault," Geo
Elora's eyes widened, flicking from me to Maya, confusion and disbelief etched on her face. "Your...sister?" she echoed faintly, her voice laced with a mixture of emotions that mirrored the turmoil swirling within me.I nodded, taking a deep breath as I steadied myself for the storm of questions and emotions that was bound to follow. "Yes, Elora. My father...our father," I corrected myself, the words tasting bitter on my tongue, "has made choices that hurt many, including you and our mother. But I want you to know, none of that is your fault. You are as much a part of this pack, this family, as I am."Maya gripped my hand tightly, a silent show of support. She had always been my rock, her strength unwavering even in the midst of chaos. "We're going to look after you, Elora," she said, her voice firm despite the tremble that had lingered moments before. "You're safe here, with us."Elora looked between us, her eyes glimmering with unshed tears as the gravity of the revelation began to
As I stormed out of the room, my anger and frustration were boiling over. How could my son, my own flesh and blood, dare to challenge me like that? And Elora, she was a constant reminder of my infidelity, a mistake I couldn't overlook. The thought of her being in my pack, in my territory, made my blood boil.I needed to clear my head, to let go of all the pent-up rage and disappointment. I sprinted through the woods, my paws pounding against the forest floor. The wind rushed through my fur, cooling the fire burning inside me. My wolf howled in exhilaration, relishing the freedom of the run.But, even in the midst of the adrenaline-fueled sprint, I couldn't escape the consequences of my actions. Images of Elora's tear-stained face flashed before my eyes, and guilt started to creep in. How could I be so heartless to her? She was innocent, a victim of my mistakes. The weight of my responsibilities as an alpha felt heavy on my shoulders.As I slowed down, the anger began to dissipate, repl
“Is everything ok, Alpha?” My Beta knocked on my door and poked his head around to check on me. I was sitting up in bed with a splitting headache. I had drunk way to much this time and now my son knew that that stupid slut Elora was his sister. This was a nightmare for me. How could I have opened my mouth in the worst possible way? I was certain that he would not tell his mother of my unfaithfulness to her and the secret daughter that had been hidden away from her all of these years. “I will be, keep an eye on that slutty omega Elora. She is nothing but trouble that one.” I told him to which he looked slightly surprised but did not challenge my request. Being alpha meant what I said went. I was the leader of the pack. He closed the door behind him and my luna came stomping into the room with a look of thunder on her tired face. She still had it, even after these years and has given birth. Her body was to die for. My wolf still went crazy insane when she was near. Even though I
I wanted to kill him. How could she be my sister? How could my father cheat on my beautiful mother like she were a worthless hoare? He was lucky I did not kill him there and then. Elora did not deserve to be treated this way all because my father saw her as his dirty little secret. I could not bare to see him hurt my mother or my sister. It felt strange to think I had a sister. Elora. Maya would be crazy when I told her about this. My father did not seem to care one little bit about Elora. He had tried to end her life to keep her quiet over something that was not her fault. It made me question everything my father had ever told me over the years. He wasn’t the man I had looked up to growing up. I was certain I would never be such a selfish alpha when I finally took over the reins. I was determined that my pack would be treated fairly no matter their rank status. My father was so drunk he could barely get up. I ordered some of the warriors to take him inside and put him to bed wh
