As soon as mom left I did not feel at ease at all as I was very distrub about what she had just said.
I took a quick walk outside for fresh air, I was feeling too hot inside the house so I went out for a walk. In few minutes I was back inside and I poured myself a glass of whiskey and sat comfortable on the couch. My mind was still in a bit of a mess as I still can not process if mom was really serious with what she had said earlier or she was just pulling my legs. How can she think of making Anabella my mate ? That impossible ! I took a sip of my whiskey again and immediately shaked the thought off my head, there is no way I'm going to accept that lady as my mate so why do I have to waste my time in thinking about it. Mother can only say things she like but she will never be able to force me into doing anything I don't want, and for the so called dinner they are having tomorrow I'm not going to attend it. Father would not be pleased to see me so why stress myself going there only to see his angry and displeased face ? A knock on the door jolted me from my thoughts and I frowned, who is it that dare to disturb me ? I made a rule that no one is allowed to knock in my bedroom expect it is about something very important. I wonder what will make whosoever it is at the door distrub me by this time of the day. It better be an emergency because I'm not in the mood for jokes right now. "Who is at the door ?" I asked. "It me master" Chelsea answered and I frowned. What does she want ? She is the daughter of my butler and is she keeps the house clean for me, and what does she want now. I never expect her to be by the door, I was expecting someone else, someone who was going to bring me important news not Chelsea. "You may enter" I replied calmly and she opened the door slowly and walked in timidly. Her head was bow to the ground as she did not dare to look at me until I gave her the permission to. "Raise your head and speak" I instruced and she raised her head up. She was still unable to look at me directly into the eye, her eye roamed every where else expect my face. "Master there is a lady in the house" she answered and I frowned. A lady ? Has mom sent her here so fast ? You got to be kidding me ! There is no way Anabella is here right ? "A lady ? Who is she ?" I Inquired. "I have no idea who she is sir, she had just appeared from no where" she replied making me more confused than I was before. It like the more she talked the more I was confused about what was going on. What does she mean by she just appeared from nowhere ? "I don't understand you Chelsea" I asked calmly. "I found her lifeless body right at the center of the compound few minutes ago" she answered and I frowned. "A lifeless person in my mansion ? Where is she now ?" I asked. "She is at our quarters, she is now awake sir" she replied and I hissed angrily. How did that type of person entered into my house in the first place ? And why is she telling about such unimportant thing. If she had woken up let her go back to where she come from. This is not the first time ladies who try to get into the house only to seduce me and get me to sleep with them, all of them ends up falling and some times they suffer great punishment for thier actions. Most of them are sent to the house by mother because she wants me to find interest in them and make any one of them my mate but none of them has been lucky enough to get my attention. "Send her out, she probably one of mom's girls" I instruced and took a sip of my drink, I was expecting her to leave but she still stood there with her head slightly bowed. "Didn't you here me ?" I asked angrily. "Forgive me sir but she is a spy from the Moonery north park" Chelsea informed and I scoffed. A spy ? How the hell is that possible ? The Moonery north park was the number one enemy of my park and they wouldn't stop at nothing until they see one of us end another. I was there main target, I had a long history with the alpha of there park and he his adamant on making sure he has his revenge on me. He his unable to face me directly so he send spies from his park to attack me, the last spy he sent was killed with my own bear hands but now he send another ? A woman at that ? He sent a female spy this time around ? No matter what gender of his spies he send the are all going to meet with the same fate. I would not pardon or take pity on any of them ! "A spy ? How the hell did she get in here ? Does she has a death wish ! Where is she ?" I barked angrily at her and she shake in fear. "Right at the small quarters sir" she replied hurriedly and I stood up immediately. "Right now lead the way to where that spy from Moonery north park is !" I instruced and she did immediately. How dare a spy come into my mansion ? Do she has a death wish ? I'm going to show her what happens when I get angry and why I am known as the most brutal and ruthless lycan wolf. She dare come in here ? I swear she won't live to tell the story of what I am going to do to her.Lisa felt it again the ever-present pull of darkness, thrumming under her skin like a beating of its own. The mirror had shown her a truth she hadn’t been ready to face, and now it felt as if the very shadows of the Moon Goddess were wrapping themselves around her, smothering her. Every breath was harder than the last, and the fight to keep herself in control was becoming unbearable.She stood by the edge of their camp, looking into the forest’s darkness, trying to calm the chaos whirling inside her. Dominick had insisted on staying close, despite her protests. He hovered behind her now, but she didn’t turn to face him. She couldn’t."I can feel it," she whispered, though she wasn’t sure whether she was speaking to him, or to the darkness that clawed at her thoughts. "It’s like it’s alive in me, Dominick. It’s getting stronger with every passing moment. I don’t know how much longer I can fight it."Dominick stepped forward, his movements light but filled with haste. He reached for her
Lisa stood at the edge of the old ruins, her heart pounding as the weight of their task pushed down on her. Dominick was by her side, his presence a steadying force, but even he couldn’t deny the unease that had settled over their pack.They had come here to find answers, but the ruins were steeped in silence, their old stones worn by centuries of neglect. The air was thick with an eerie energy, and Lisa could feel it in the pit of her stomach something dark, something old, was waiting."Are you sure this is the right place?" Lisa asked, her voice low, almost respectful.Dominick glanced at her, his eyes filled with purpose. "It’s the only place left, Lisa. The old books... they all point here. The answers are hidden in these ruins. We just have to find them."She nodded, but doubts remained in her mind. The pack’s trust in her was weakening. They didn’t say it, but Lisa could feel the strain. She had once been their center, their guide, their link to the Moon Goddess. Now, without th
The first thing Lisa felt was warmth. It wasn’t the kind of warmth that could be mistaken for sunlight or the heat of a fire, but the kind of warmth that pulsed deep within her chest, spreading through her limbs, wrapping around her like a protective embrace.She blinked, slowly opening her eyes. The world around her was blurry at first, fading in and out of focus. But as her senses began to sharpen, she could feel it—the weight of Dominick’s arms around her, holding her close. The familiar scent of him, of the pack, surrounded her, grounding her. And yet, something was wrong.Something was very wrong.Lisa sat up with a sharp gasp, her body trembling from the sheer effort it took to move. She looked around, eyes wide, searching for an answer. The pack was gathered around them, silent, watchful, and… worried. They looked as though they were waiting for something waiting for her."Lisa?" Dominick’s voice was scratchy, filled with a quiet desperation she hadn’t heard before. "Are you ok
As Dominick's hands hovered above Lisa's motionless body, they shook. Even though the combat was done, it seemed like the conflict had only just started. He stared at her chest, looking for some indication that she was still alive. His anguish made every breath feel heavy and shallow. Her face had turned pale and lifeless. Everything he didn't want to know was revealed to him by the blood stains on her clothing."You can't leave. In a ragged echo of the man, he once was, Dominick muttered to her, "You just can't." Leaning down, he brushed a lock of hair away from her face, allowing the tears he had been suppressing to finally fall."Please, Lisa. Get your eyes open. Return to me.Around them, the pack had gathered in stillness. Even though they had prevailed in the fight, it felt meaningless. His evil power had been broken, and Eryndor's citadel had collapsed, but at what price? With her heart as frigid as the stone under her, Lisa, their ray of hope, lay still.Marcus's face was unre
There was a lot of darkness in the room, and the shadows were thick and moving around them like living things. The stone floor beneath Dominick was stained with blood as he lay unconscious, his body broken and battered. With tears in her eyes and her heart racing, Lisa knelt next to him, but there was no time for sorrow. She was thinking of only one thing.They all needed to be saved by her.In front of them, tall and victorious, Eryndor's eyes were full of vile laughter. "Lisa, you believe you have won, but the game is far from over." The air felt oppressive, and his voice was like ice. "There is no force or power in this world that can defeat me."Lisa's heart ached as she felt the warmth of Dominick's pulse wane with every second that went by, and her hands shook as she reached out to touch him. Even though she still had a close bond with him and the pack, it wasn't sufficient. Not quite yet.Then something changed within her.Her inner wolf spirit awoke with a roil, its restless e
The pack was positioned before the imposing gates of Eryndor's stronghold, which appeared to have impenetrable walls and a dense, oppressive, and dark aura. The weight of the approaching conflict made the air motionless. With the resolve that had brought them this far, Dominick's eyes were hard and his mind was keen. They would put an end to this now.“All units, move out!” he ordered, his voice like a razor slicing through the quiet.With ferocious determination, the pack charged ahead, their warriors trailing behind. Standing by Dominick's side, Lisa felt the strength of the black magic emanating from the fortress walls, her heart pounding and her thoughts turning into its own battlefield.They were nearly instantly struck by the first wave of rogue wolves, their eyes blazing with the strange light of Eryndor's might. The pack was more than ready, but they were swift, vicious, and unrelenting.With her claws cutting through the air and tearing through the rogue wolves that approache
The vista in front of them was a never-ending length of rocky land and forest that led to the impending fortress of Eryndor. With the burden of the trip bearing down on him, Dominick led the way. The strain in the air was evident, and each step felt like it may be his last. The odds were stacked against them in the impending last fight.Lisa followed closely behind him, her steps steady but her thoughts focused on the future. They both understood the seriousness of the situation, and their closeness was strong despite their inability to express it verbally. Although they all had a part to play, nobody could foresee the cost of winning.Marcus kept up with the others despite the emotional and physical strain of saving Chelsea. Even while his expression was fixed on stern determination, his eyes would occasionally flicker with the wounds from the ambush, both the ones on his body and the ones still present in his heart. Chelsea was almost lost to him. He would not permit such to occur o
Dominick stood at the edge of the camp, surveying his warriors' faces while the wind howled all around him. He felt as though the entire universe was resting on his shoulders. The moment had arrived. They were at their breaking point. Eryndor was too near his objective, too risky. In his bones, Dominick knew that the last battle was coming.The tension in the air was broken by Dominick's voice as she said, "We can't wait for more signs, more opportunities." "Now we fight. We battle together.Though there was a hesitancy and a sense of trepidation, the pack stirred and whispers of agreement rippled through them. They had suffered a great loss. They were still grieving over the loss of their siblings in the previous conflict.Chelsea stepped forward from the crowd and said, "Dominick." Her voice was steady, but her eyes were rimmed in red. You want us to put everything on the line. After everything we've lost... after everything we've endured...Dominick responded, his eyes hardening, "
The tension in the camp was high due to the weight of Chelsea's capture. Marcus paced, anger and hopelessness swirling in his head. His fists were clinched at his sides, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was being tormented by the idea of losing her and failing her.Lisa murmured softly, "Marcus," moving into his direct line of sight.He halted his pacing and looked at her, his jaw clenched. "I'm pursuing her." I can't just sit here doing nothing.The unadulterated agony in his voice made Lisa's heart hurt. She was aware of Chelsea's importance to him. "I get it, but we can't just show up without a strategy, Marcus. We shall be met by Eryndor.Marcus shot back, his voice strained and low, "I don't care." There's Chelsea inside. She cannot be left to rot in that hellhole by me.Lisa paused, fully aware of the dangers. After that, we'll travel together. However, we must consider this. Dark magic guards Eryndor's stronghold, and he won't make things simple.For a minute, Marcus's eyes soft
