Almost an hour had passed since Alpha Duane had left with Seraphina. Eva had settled the baby down and felt more at ease now Seraphina had gone. She didn't like the way she made her feel. As Eva made her way down the corridors and back out of the pack house, she bumped into someone she wasn't expecting to see. “Wait, what? Gabriel, how are you here? What's going on?” Eva gasped, incredulous. “Gabriel?” Sebastian echoed, his eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn’t fathom what he was seeing and hearing. Eva turned to Sebastian, panic evident in her eyes. “It's Gabriel. He's back,” she said, her words stuttering as she tried to process the situation. “But Alpha Duane has gone with Seraphina to look for you. She said she knew you and wanted to help you,” Gabriel explained, taking a clumsy step back, almost losing his balance. Sebastian caught him just in time, helping him steady himself, while Eva quickly fetched a chair for him to sit in. Gabriel slowly settled into the chair, placin
Inside the hospital wing, Alpha Duane lay unconscious on the bed, and his features strained from the injuries he had sustained during the rogue attack. The room was filled with sad worry as the pack members gathered around, anxiously awaiting any improvement in their Alpha's condition. Eddie and Millie arrived, and they wasted no time assessing Alpha Duane's injuries, their expert hands moving swiftly as they worked to stabilise him and administer the necessary treatments. The pack breathed, hoping and praying for their Alpha to pull through.Amelia observed as the Twins worked together to help the Alpha to heal. She was impressed by their abilities, considering they were so young. Meanwhile, in the cells, Seraphina sat silently, her expression cold and devoid of remorse. Despite the accusations against her, she remained defiant, her words dripping with arrogance and disdain for the pack's authority.“Seraphina, why did you do this? What did you gain from it?” Eva yelled angrily as
As Seraphina sat in her cell, her expression hardened with anger and frustration. She knew that her time was running out, and she needed to find a way to explain her actions to the pack, especially to Jason. Of course, they would all be against her for getting their Alpha hurt. She thought that maybe if she could get him on her side and explain it so that he could stand by her side and protect her from the wrath, she would have no choice but to face it. Jason stood guard outside her cell, his features set in anger and sadness at the betrayal she had committed. Feeling a sense of desperation, Seraphina called out to Jason, her voice carrying a hint of vulnerability that was rarely seen from her. "Jason, there's something you need to know,” she said. “What is it, Seraphina? I don't have time for games,” Jason sighed, his voice tinged with impatience as he tried to mask the concern that flickered in his eyes. He had always been a man of action, and the situation's urgency left
“Please. Give me a chance. I do not deserve it, but I want to correct my wrongs.” Seraphina continued to plead, and Alpha Duane scowled. He had had enough of her already. “Fine, prove yourself. One foot wrong, and you are to meet your end.” Alpha Duane insisted as he gestured for everyone to follow him. “Let's go.” Seraphina felt a rush of relief as the pack began to come together to form a plan to take down the Shadowscale and protect Alpha Duane and the children. Despite the betrayal and distrust that had clouded their relationships, they all knew that they needed to unite to overcome this dangerous threat. As they gathered in a circle, the weight of their mission hung heavy in the air. Seraphina spoke up. "We need to act quickly and decisively to outsmart the Shadowscale. They are powerful, but together we are stronger. We must devise a plan to protect Alpha Duane and this pack and the children at all costs." Jason nodded in agreement, his eyes reflecting his determina
"Hey!" he yelled out. "There you two are. We need to get out of here! Now!"The twins exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, they followed Jason back into the forest.“Where are we going, Jason?” Millie asked as she held her brother's hand and ran behind Jason. "We're going to the safe house," Jason replied, breathing heavily as he dodged low-hanging branches and leapt over roots. "We must get out of the woods before the pack tracks us down."The twins kept pace with Jason, their eyes scanning the surrounding trees for any signs of pursuit. As they ran, they could hear the distant sounds of battle growing fainter, replaced by the rustling of leaves and snapping of twigs.After a few minutes of running, the trees began to thin out, and they saw a small clearing in the distance. In the centre of the clearing stood a small cottage surrounded by a thick hedge of thorny bushes.Jason led them to the cottage, where they burst through the door and found themselves in a cosy, dimly lit
Sebastian held Eva tightly, his eyes filled with both worry and excitement. He had been waiting for this moment, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their first child. But seeing Eva in such pain and distress broke his heart, and he wished he could take away her suffering. "You're doing amazing, Eva," he whispered, his voice filled with love and support. "Just breathe through the pain; focus on your breathing. Our baby is almost here." Eva nodded, her grip on Sebastian's neck tightening with each agonising contraction. She felt mixed emotions - fear, anticipation, and overwhelming love for the little life growing inside her. She knew every bit of pain was worth it, but amid labour, it was hard to remember. Sebastian tried his best to soothe her, offering encouragement and wiping away her sweat. He felt a sense of awe and wonder, witnessing the strength and resilience of the woman he loved. Eva's determination radiated through her pain, enflaming his admiration and love for her
Eva gathered Millie and Eddie close, her arms encircling them in a protective embrace. The fear in their eyes tugged at her heart, and she knew that it was her responsibility to reassure them, to bring them a sense of comfort amidst the chaos surrounding them. "It's going to be okay," Eva whispered, her voice soft yet firm. "We're going to get through this together, I promise." She looked into their wide eyes, trying to convey strength and love through her gaze. "We've come this far, and we won't give up now." Her grip tightened around them, her touch conveying a sense of safety. Millie and Eddie clung to her, seeking solace in her arms. Eva turned her attention to her precious newborn, cradling the baby close to her chest. She marveled at the innocence and fragility, vowing silently to protect this little life with everything she had. "You are all so brave," Eva murmured, her voice filled with warmth. "I know it's scary, but we're a family. We're strong together, and we'll ke
Eva carefully cradled her newborn in her arms as she approached the car. The weight of responsibility settled heavily on her young shoulders, but she knew she had to remain strong for her family. Millie and Eddie, her twin siblings, trailed behind her, their tiny hands intertwined with fear etched across their faces. “Come, let's hurry now.” Eva whispered nervously as they hurried along. The air was cool and crisp as they entered the dimly lit street. The moon loomed high above, casting an ethereal glow over the surrounding houses. Eva's heart raced with a mixture of anxiety and determination. They had to leave to escape the danger that lurked behind their home. She had no idea if they were being followed or watched. She knew that she had to act quickly. As they reached the car, Eva gently placed the newborn in the car seat's safety. She exchanged a worried glance with Millie and Eddie, their eyes reflecting the same fear that gnawed at her own heart. They were just children
