AmandaWhat I did not expect as soon as I got to the scene of the fight was to see so many of Zane’s men crowding my men. At that moment, it just seemed like he had called all of his forces for this particular mission which just told me that he valued Tiana more than anything else. Normally, that would have put a pain in my heart but at this point and stage I was at in my life, I just couldn’t care. Now, it was established that they were two peas in a pod and there was nothing we could say or do that would change either of their thinking. I had just been wasting my time when I thought there was a way I could have talked Tian out of helping Zane. How foolish I had been.“Secure the exit and the entryway. No one gets in or out!” I commanded.Alex, together with some of my men, ran towards the areas I had mentioned and as they ran, I couldn't be more proud of the people who had stuck by and with me for as long as I could remember. We were all in this together and the last thing I would
Zane“All?! All of them?!!!” I barked.My hands were literally shaking when I realized that the men I had sent to rescue my wife from Amanda’s pack were all dead and what’s worse, she used our very weakness against them, knowing quite well that they had no chance of escape. How she has thought about that all these years was something I was trying so hard to understand.Now, she had proven to me that she was one I couldn't just cross and get away easily. She didn’t come to play at all and I knew I needed to be fully ready for whatever she had in store for me. “Yes sire, all of them.” My chief guard said.Slumping on my throne, I suddenly grew tired. I had hoped that my wife would be rescued but not only did she remain in Amanda’s pack but my men paid the ultimate price. How Amanda with so little guards could defeat mine and even with fire was something I just couldn’t understand. If I didn't know better. I would have said she had outside help but from who?As far as i knew, there was
AmandaI took slow, deliberate steps across the battlefield, my heart heavy with grief and rage intertwining in a tumultuous storm within me. The scene before me was a chilling tableau of devastation, the aftermath of an attack we never saw coming. As I approached my people, each face etched with pain and shock, I could feel their collective anguish weighing heavily on my shoulders."Is everyone alright?" I called out, my voice trembling with emotion. My eyes scanned the group, searching for any sign of life amidst the chaos. Some were injured, others shell-shocked, but thankfully, most seemed to have survived the onslaught.Meanwhile, my men were already busy conducting a headcount, meticulously tallying the survivors and the fallen. The task was grim, each name spoken like a solemn prayer for the departed. Every loss felt like a dagger to my heart, a reminder of the price we paid for simply existing in a world fraught with conflict.As I knelt beside a fallen comrade, grief threaten
AmandaThe morning after the devastating battle, I called for an emergency meeting with my pack mates. As we gathered in the dimly lit council room, the weight of the previous night's losses hung heavy in the air. Alex stood beside me, his expression grim as he began to give me a breakdown of the casualties."We lost five pack members in the battle," Alex said, his voice tight with emotion. "And ten others are severely injured. Zane's pack showed no mercy."I clenched my fists, struggling to contain the rage boiling inside me. These weren't just numbers on a report—they were my family, my responsibility. Each loss felt like a dagger to my heart.I nodded, determination burning in my veins. Zane had crossed a line, and there would be consequences. We couldn't let him think he could attack us without facing retaliation."We need to plan our next move," I said, my mind already racing with possibilities. "We can't afford to wait for them to strike again. We have to take the fight to them.
Amanda ‘’I need to speak with Tiana,’’ I said.That meeting was long overdue and now that she was in my custody with nowhere to go, now was the perfect time to do that. I called in my Gamma, Beatrice who was just recovering from the wounds she sustained. I felt bad, seeing her this way and i wished there was something i could do, anything at all to alleviate the pain that she was going through but still, despite all of this, she still put on a brave face, one thing i would forever admire her for.I had called for this meeting with Alex, and Beatrice. We gathered in the war room, where plans were devised, strategies were honed, and secrets were shared. As I sat at the head of the table, I could feel the weight of the decision I was about to make pressing down on me."Thanks for coming, both of you," I began, my voice steady but tinged with apprehension. "There's something I need to discuss with you both."Alex leaned forward, his expression serious. "What's on your mind, Amanda? You
Amanda As I sat in my room later that night, thinking over the recent upheavals in our pack house, a sense of urgency gripped me. We couldn't linger in this foreign territory any longer, not with Zane's reign of terror escalating by the day. It was time to return to our own pack, where I knew we could regroup and strategize effectively.With determination coursing through me, I made the decision then and there. We had to leave, and we had to leave soon. My pack needed me, and I couldn't afford to delay any longer. Rising from my chair, I called out to Alex and Beatrice, my most trusted allies, to join me."Alex, Beatrice," I began, my voice steady despite the urgency in my heart. "We need to prepare for our journey home. Zane's grip on this land is tightening, and it's no longer safe for us to stay."Both of them turned to me, concern etched on their faces. They knew as well as I did the dangers that awaited us if we remained here. Without hesitation, they nodded in agreement, ready
ZaneAs I sat upon my chair, surrounded by my loyal men, the atmosphere in the hall was charged with anticipation and readiness for action. We were discussing our plans for the week, strategizing our next moves in the ongoing power struggle that defined our existence. Suddenly, the heavy doors swung open, and one of my trusted lieutenants burst into the room, his breath ragged and urgency evident in his eyes."Zane!" he exclaimed, interrupting our conversation. "Amanda and her pack members are leaving the town as we speak!"Instantly, my mind whirled into action. She was slipping away, and I knew we couldn't let her escape unscathed but before I could give the order to mobilize our forces, my advisor stepped forward, his expression grave."Zane, we mustn't act impulsively," he cautioned, his voice low but firm. "Attacking her now would be playing into her hands. She's expecting us to retaliate, to chase after her in a blind rage. But we must be smarter than that."I regarded him with
AmandaAs we moved through the bustling streets of the packs, my heart was heavy with the weight of the task at hand. Beside me, Tiana glanced at me with a wicked laugh dancing on her lips. Her eyes gleamed with defiance, challenging me silently as if daring me to try and take her away from her people."Do you really think you can succeed, Amanda?" she taunted, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Do you truly believe you can tear me away from everything I've ever known?"Her words stung, striking a chord deep within me. I hated what she had become, what she stood for, but beneath that hatred, there lingered a sense of sorrow for the sister she once was, the bond we once shared.I met her gaze with a mixture of determination and resignation. "I have to try," I replied, my voice firm despite the turmoil raging inside me. "For the sake of our family, for the sake of our people."But even as I spoke, our conversation was interrupted by a small noise, barely audible amidst the din of the to
