A scream cut through the early morning air.

It came from the eastern pathway– close to the communal well where pack members fetched water, both the left and right wing.

People passing froze at the gruelsome sight in front of them.

"It's a body!"

Within moments, footsteps thundered from every direction. Pack members rushed out of their homes, some half-dressed, some clutching their children. Murmurs spread fast like wildfire.

"Am I the only one, or did I just hear 'it's a body.' "

    "Kael?!" Mariella muttered, then gasped, clasping a hand over her mouth as she took two steps back."Kael?!" she called again, her pupils dilating in shock. "What are you doing here?"Lynn took five steps away from them when Kael glanced up at her."Do I need a reason to walk around my pack?" he answered, slightly raising a brow."But still..." she pressed her lips into a thin line. "This is the Left Wing Pack.""Doesn't change the fact that it's my pack. I have every right to be here," he mumbled, then scrunched his nose, his brows furrowing together as he stared at the stain on his clothes.Mariella wondered what had made his expression change so abruptly. Following his line of sight, only then did she remember what she had done.She gasped again. "Oh no, I'm so sorry about that. Oh my gawd," she muttered, trying to use the sleeve of her gown to clean it up.Just as she closed the gap between them so she could wipe the stain off, Kael moved back hastily, putting about three steps of

    Two days afterThe throne room- hall of assembly was filled with all the elders whose whispers and murmurs circulated the entire hall.This was their first reasonable meeting and gathering since Aria was poisoned and thanks to her recovery, they were finally able to gather today— though not because if pack affairs.The grand door pushed open and just like their very last meeting, Aria and Cain walked in together— in their purple regalia embroidered with silver threads, taking one slow step at a time.The whispers stopped and all head went down as they walked towards the throne.Aria's butt length hair was let down, adorned with silver hair clips, pins and several other ornament. She used a deeper shade of rogue which gave her a dangerous look along side the blank expression she gave.Shortly after, they settled side by side on the throne, the door pushed open again and this time- Maida dressed in a plain white gown, face slightly paled and red in fury didn't or rather couldn't hide he

    Maida paced around the dimly lit room, where only two candles were fixed to the walls and a burning torch crackled near the entrance. Their flickering flames danced across the stone walls, casting long shadows that stretched and twisted around the room.The warmth from the torch fought against the coldness, but it wasn't enough to make the place comfortable.Nothing could make this place comfortable.After several restless laps around the room, Maida let out a frustrated groan and dropped onto the small bed pushed against the wall. The mattress creaked beneath her weight. She dug her fingers into her hair and scratched her scalp vigorously, her face twisted with irritation."Why isn't Cain coming?" she muttered for what felt like the hundredth time. "I can't be locked up here forever.""You have been saying that for weeks now, but has it gotten you anywhere?" Elder Gavin said from the opposite cell, which was separated from hers by an iron gate."I want to get out of here. I can't sta

    "Aria, stop. You just got better and so you should be resting and certainly not moving around." Cain tried to convince Aria for the hundredth time as he kept following her around the whole room while she tried to dress well.Immediately after they had broken the kiss and stared into each others eyes loving, with happiness, so much spark between them and a smile which Aria replaced moments later with a smirk before saying that she had to visit her favourite enemy, Cain had done nothing more than trying to stop her."Don't try to stop my babe. You know what going to make me feel so energetic and alive is the surprise look on her face when she sees me. Damn!!" she exclaimed facing him. "The thought is fueling me up.""You can always do that some other time— like tomorrow for instance." he suggested."No can't do. Tomorrow will be too late because she would have already heard the news that I'm healthy and alive. Moreover, I will love to see my brother." she mumbled, as she finished applyi

    "Is this where the Moon Goddess resides?" Aria asked, looking around again. "It's heavenly, like I'm in an entirely new world. But why am I here?""Where is Cain? And Lynn? Mariella? Matthew and Xervin?" she asked."You are here because this is the only place that can save you from dying," the Moon Goddess responded."Dying?" Aria mumbled, then remembered that she had been poisoned and had fainted in Cain's hands after spitting out blood.She shook her head. "I can't die. No, I can't. I promised Cain I would never leave him."The Moon Goddess nodded. "You are chosen as a protector, so definitely, you can't die yet. Not without accomplishing your purpose, Aria." She smiled at her."I want to go back," Aria replied."You will," the Moon Goddess responded. Then, with a gentle wave of her hand, she displayed a vivid image of what was happening in the werewolf world.Aria stepped closer to the vision. "Cain," she mumbled, her heart breaking as she watched him sitting beside her unconscious

    The soft rays of the afternoon sun slipped quietly through the curtains of Mariella's room.Mariella stirred weakly on the bed before slowly opening her eyes.For a moment, she looked confused, then she heard the soft clinking sound of plates beside the bed.Turning slightly, she saw Lynn placing down a tray carefully on the small table nearby."Lynn," Mariella called softly while sitting upright slowly.Lynn immediately turned and a small relieved smile appeared on her tired face."You are awake?" she muttered softly. "I made lunch, but before that take this tonic that Lady Mana brewed. She already said you will wake up around this time and it's true."Lynn handed her the tonic, which she gulped down at once. Then Lynn took the tray of food and placed it on her laps. "Here, eat." she muttered, handling her a silver spoon.Mariella stared at her for a while and that was when she noticed the dark eye bags beneath Lynn's eyes and how exhausted she looked."What happened?" Mariella asked

    "Why did you pack a lot of bags with you?" Lynn complained as they carried Mariella's bag to her room.They were both going to share the room as it was spacious enough to contain a lot of people."You will soon know what I packed. I brought a lot of goodies from the human world and different clothe

    "What in the moon goddess name is this?" Aria gasped.Mariella simply let out a grin, revealing her set of perfectly white teeth. "Just a little something that will burst the brains of your man and make him go crazy. BOOM!!!""Why would she want Alpha Cain to go crazy?" Lynn asked with furrowed bro

    "Master, here is the letter!" Xer handed the letter over to the scarred man, who had his back turned against him.They were in their hideout, hiding deep into the forest, between several thick line of tress making it go unnoticable by people who wander about.Only a small fire torch, burning bright

    The scream shattered the quiet of dawn.It spread through the pack like wildfire—fear, disbelief, panic tangling into one suffocating wave. Wolves poured into the courtyard from every direction, half-dressed, weapons hastily grabbed, eyes wild as they followed the trail of terror toward the General
