LOGINI saw the shock in their eyes when I told them to leave.
Real shock.The kind that cracks straight through the mask they always wore. For years, they had been so sure of their place above me. So sure I would never fight back.And now… I had.Not with words.But louder than words could ever be.They must be crazy to think I will forever remain the weak Doris they knew.For so long, I had been the quiet one. The broken one. The girl they could push, slap, mock, and sThe Thunder Pack warriors lowered their heads respectfully. And slowly picked up their fallen Alpha’s remains and carried him away in silence.Dad suddenly grabbed my shoulder tightly and his face broke into a proud smile.“We did it, son.”I smiled back tiredly.Then Blade, Julius, Alpha Kelvin, and Ethan walked toward us, all covered in blood and dirt but alive. We had survived an unexpected war.Ms. D and Doris walked toward us together, both smiling softly despite the exhaustion written all over their faces. Dirt and blood still stained their clothes from the battle, but seeing them standing there alive felt like peace after chaos.Dad let out a deep breath the moment they got close enough.“You two should never try something like this again,” he said, pulling both Doris and Ms. D into a tight hug. His voice carried relief more than anger. “Do you know how worried we were when we realized you were both missing?”Ms. D laughed quietly. “Worried? Yo
~ Ryder ~The arrow flew straight toward Doris.For one terrifying second, the entire battlefield disappeared around me. I couldn’t hear the screams anymore, neither could I hear the clash of claws or the dying cries of warriors.All I saw was that arrow aimed directly at her chest.“DORIS!” I roared.My heart slammed violently against my ribs as I ran toward her. Panic burned through me so hard it felt like fire spreading under my skin. I knew I wouldn’t make it in time.But what happened next stopped me cold in my tracks.The arrow froze mid-air, just inches from her chest. It hovered there for a heartbeat, trembling, before dropping harmlessly to the ground. Doris stood tall, a small smirk on her lips. Even the enemy warriors froze in shock.Her hands still glowed with power, but her eyes had returned to normal. She looked unstoppable.Then Doris slowly raised her hand.The enemies standing in front of her were suddenly thrown backward
~ Doris ~The moment Alpha Stone and Ryder left the basement, something inside me snapped. I couldn’t just sit there anymore. I was tired of watching people I loved sacrifice themselves for me, and tired of being the reason everyone kept getting hurt.“I’m done with this,” I whispered, hitting the side of my head in frustration. “No more.”I pushed myself up, ignoring how weak my body felt, and slipped out of the basement. The pack house was quiet. Thank the goddess no one was in the corridors. I moved quickly, heart racing, and headed straight for the gate.Two warriors stood guard. I tried to sneak past while their backs were turned, but a small hand suddenly grabbed mine. I spun around. It was Gab.I quickly scooped him up and ducked behind a corner, pressing a finger to my lips.“Hey buddy,” I whispered, trying to smile. “What are you doing outside?”“I woke up and couldn’t find you,” he said innocently.“Where is your grandma?” I
We raced back to the pack house, my heart pounding hard against my chest like it was trying to break free.The moment we reached the entrance, Gab stood there crying, his small shoulders shaking as tears streamed down his face. The little boy must have felt the heavy tension in the air.“Hey buddy,” I said softly, bending down and lifting him into my arms. I held him close against my chest, rubbing his back. “Stop crying, okay? Go inside your room and stay with Grandma. Everything’s going to be alright.”Gab buried his face in my neck, still sobbing. I hated to see him like this.Before I could say more, the front doors swung open. Dad walked out fully dressed for war — black combat gear, silver wolf emblem on his chest. He looked strong, like the Alpha I remembered from my childhood.“Everyone get ready!” Dad commanded. “We are heading to Thunder Pack to rescue our Luna and the mother of this pack!”The warriors roared in agreement, raising their fists and
The warriors dragged Lucious away, his chains scraping against the ground.I stood there for a second, watching the crowd surge behind them, hungry for blood. My eyes caught Blade at the edge of the compound. He leaned against a wall, arms crossed tight over his chest, staring at nothing. The pain on his face hit me hard. No child should carry that kind of weight.For a moment, he didn’t look like the strong man I knew.I walked over slowly and punched his arm lightly. “Hey, man.”He didn’t respond immediately. His eyes were fixed ahead, but I could tell he wasn’t seeing anything.“You good?” I asked quietly.Blade blinked like he was coming out of a daze. He let out a dry, broken laugh.“Yeah… I’m fine,” he said, but his voice betrayed him. “I just… didn’t expect any of this. I kept hoping it was all a nightmare. That I’d wake up and none of this would be real.” His throat moved as he swallowed hard, fighting back the tears.I pulled h
“I need to go save her,” Doris said, her voice tight with fear and fire. She clenched her fists so hard her knuckles turned white. That was when I really looked at her—boots laced tight, dark fighting leathers hugging her frame, hair pulled back for battle. That’s when it hit me.If I hadn’t walked in when I did, she would have charged straight into Thunder Pack territory alone.I stepped closer and grabbed her hands gently before she could move again.“Baby girl, you need to breathe,” I said firmly, rubbing her knuckles with my thumbs. “If it’s truly Thunder Pack that took her, then rushing in blind is exactly what they want.”Her chest rose and fell too fast. Her eyes were wild with fear and anger.“They took my mother, Ryder,” she said sharply. “You expect me to sit here and breathe?”“I’m not saying sit,” I replied calmly. “I’m saying we plan. If we go in without strategy, we’re walking into a trap. They’ll be waiting for us to react emotionally
Frustration burned hotter than the rage inside me.Rage was clean and simple because It gave me something to destroy.But this… this helplessness… it sat in my chest like poison, spreading with every breath.I should have found her.I should have brought her back.The pack hou
Chapter 36~ Doris ~The evening sky was painted soft pink and orange, like the sun was saying goodbye slowly. I stood in front of the tall mirror in my room, heart beating so fast I could feel it in my throat. Today was the parade. The special evening walk every Luna from the f
All I could focus on was the man sitting so close that I could smell the faint leather of his gloves. The single bulb swung slowly, throwing his long, dark shadow across the dirty floor and making him look even taller, even more dangerous. My heart raced, but this time it wasn’t just fe
~ Clara ~My head felt like someone had filled it with rocks and shaken it hard. A dull, heavy pain throbbed behind my eyes. My mouth tasted bitter like bitter chocolate. I tried to move, but my arms wouldn’t listen. Something rough and tight bit into my wrists. Rope. Thick rope.I b
