His room was vintage themed.Old paintings and artefacts littered on the wall but no personal item was in sight.The bedsheets were under the bed the only evidence of the activities of the previous night.

''I better start working,whatever he does should not be of my concern.''

Noises from outside  brought me out of my  cleaning trance  and I could not help but run towards the direction of the noise which was  the huge windows in his room.

Below was a group of young wolves whom I assume were being trained and the noise was from their cheering.In the middle were two men spurring,Ryker and a man I had not yet seen.The size of his body was a dead giveaway that he was a top warrior.

As I walked down the hallway,I heard whispers.

''Have you seen the new girl ? ''

''I only caught a glimpse of her when she was being taken to her room.''

I followed the voices which led me to the pack kitchen ,the shock plastered on their faces was enough proof that they had not expected me to appear in their presence.

I cleared my voice.

''So where do I air these beddings ? ''

''Behind the house ,there is a hanging area.I'm Emma and that's Melissa we are usually incharge of kitchen duties.'' Came a voice from a brunette headed girl.

''Thank you. And  kindly address me as Trixie not the new girl.'' And with that I left through the back door .

 ''Melisa one of these days your big mouth will land us into trouble.''

The hanging place was breath -taking.It was a nice place to escape the world.The fcolorful flowers with pretty butterflies on them were to die for.

''You need to get those checked out ,''came a silky voice which made me loose my footing.

Expecting the incoming crush ,I fell on a pair of steady arms.

''You should be more careful,we would not like you injuring yourself more.''

As I opened my eyes,a pair of blue eyes paired with a nice smile greeted me.He carefully placed me down and stretched his hands.

'' You can call me Will.I am the pack doctor and I really insist on treating those bruises on your wrist.''He said.

Instinctively ,I held out my hand,I do not know how we reached what appeared to be his working space.

''I do not think I got the name.''He came again

''Tri..Trixie .'' I stuttered.

''So Trixie the alcohol will burn,but I need to disinfect those before wrapping them up.''

''SSss''I hissed.

''I warned you, it would burn .'' He chuckled and continued dressing my bruises.

''In three days I recommend you come here.''

''I guess you're not much of a talker.You may go now .I would not like to make you more uncomfortable.''

Fleeing the site was an understatement.I was practically taking off , my heart beating 1000 times faster.

I slammed on a hard surface due to the speed I was in.

''Watch where you're going young miss.''

I looked up.It was the man that was sparring with Ryker.

''I'm Eric,the beta and bestfriend of Ryker.Speaking of him.He said you should meet him in his room.''

''Al-alright .'' I squeaked

His bedroom door  was slightly open.I still knocked, nonetheless.

'' Come in.'' Came his grunt voice.

Ryker stood next to his wardrobe,his hair loose , water dripping on his back.

He had a toned body,gotta give due where it belongs.

'' What was your name again ? Tr-Trixie.Did I get it wrong ? ''He said, ending  with a jeering laughter.

''Acting all cute in front of the doctor would be futile.'' He sneered at me.

The more I interacted with this man the more I hated his guts.

''You summoned me.'' I mastered my most polite voice.I could not risk the man who held my life by a thin thread.

''We are going for a run.I assume you have shifted.''

''Yes ''

''Alright then meet point at the backyard .I assume you're familiar with the place.''

And with that he turned his back to me once more.A clear signal of my dismissal.

Nervous was an understatement.I could still remember the pain I went through from my first shift.I hoped the second time would hurt less.

Soon a couple of other wolves had assembled.All waiting for their Alpha.Even the pack doctor,Eric, was here.

''We head South.'' Ryker shouted and with that howls filled the air as they shifted.

Here goes nothing.The pain was not less but I could bare it.

The only thought in my mind .

'' I hope I do not die along the way.''

The other wolves were fast like really fast,they were one with the forest.

I could feel the harsh breath intake in my system.

I was going to pass out sooner or later.

I guess later was closer than I thought.

I  met with Eric's concerned face.

''Are you alright,you passed out and Ryker had to carry you.'' He explained.

My blood went cold.Ryker had carried me.

''Calm down Trixie ,you might end up having a panic attack.''

Eric patted my back gently.As if the day could not get worser Ryker was next to us.

''I mean rather than being a burden you could have said you are not used to intense runs.'' Sarcasm laced  his words 'The harshness enough to make someone cry.

''let's head back we cannot afford more mishaps.''He shouted to the rest.

When almost everyone was out of sight,Eric nudged me.

''Do not take it to heart,he can be an ass but it's for you own good.Next time speak up.He might be rough but he does not subject anyone to forced activities.''

''Let's head back,slowly this time.''He held out his hand together with a warm smile.

By the time the we reached the pack house,almost everyone had retreated to their homes.

As I passed past his room,I heard the shower running.

Maybe I was just a bad luck hotpoint just like my family had said.

  • SILVER IN THE SHADOWS   Coincidence or not ?

    The moonlight sifted through the pines like silver dust. Ryker felt Droco’s presence before any words were spoken a measured stride that spoke of old loyalties and firm purpose.Droco emerged from the forest’s edge, coat bristling, eyes heavy with a truth Ryker could already sense. Beside him, Trixie—silent, taut, as if she too felt the weight of what was coming.Droco’s voice cut into the night: “Ryker. Trixie.” His tone was neither deferential nor commanding just solemn.Ryker nodded, wordless. They moved deeper into the clearing, where the scent of moss and cold earth seemed thicker, pregnant with revelation.Droco looked at Trixie. “I found your trail where the forest thins. Lost. Banished.”Trixie’s breath caught barely a whisper of wind.“You are Alpha-blood,” Droco continued. “Blood that once ruled this entire ridge.”Droco faced Ryker. “She was forced out.”The forest’s hush deepened as Trixie’s world opened and collapsed in the same breath.She stepped forward, voice shaking.

  • SILVER IN THE SHADOWS   Confessions

    The full moon had risen, and the forest was alive.Feet pounded the earth in a primal rhythm. Wolves ran like shadows -flashes of fur and heat between trees, the collective heartbeat of a pack woven into a wordless, wild pulse. Ryker led the run, his wolf just beneath the surface, energy thrumming with the scent of moss, blood, and something deeper.Freedom.It was the one time he could almost forget. Almost.Except she was still there.Marla.He didn’t see her at first not until the run broke into groups, some peeling off for a chase, others weaving deeper into the northern ridge for the endurance loop. Ryker slowed, breath even, and turned toward the clearing near the river bend.She was already there. Waiting. Leaning against a tree like she hadn’t just run ten miles through underbrush.And when she looked at him, it wasn’t the way a wolf looked at an Alpha.It was the way a woman looked at the man who had stopped calling.“Really?” she said, arms crossed over her chest. “You’re g

  • SILVER IN THE SHADOWS   Advice

    The moon hung low, silvering the edges of the herb crates Trixie had spent all day organizing mostly to keep her hands busy, her mind at bay. The rest of the pack had retired, save for one.Will sat on the edge of the low stone fountain, shirt damp with post-training sweat, a water bottle tucked between his knees. He looked up when she approached, eyebrows lifting in quiet surprise.“Can’t sleep?” he asked, his voice gentle, always gentle.She hesitated before answering. “Not really. I was… hoping to talk.”He patted the stone beside him. “Well, the ghosts have gone for the night. It’s just me.”Trixie sat, folding her hands tightly in her lap. It took her a few false starts before she blurted, “How did you know Eric was the one?”Will smiled slowly, brows drawing together with the weight of memory. “Because he didn’t run when I did everything I could to push him away.”Trixie exhaled a shaky breath. “What if someone doesn’t run, but also doesn’t come closer? What if they… confuse th

  • SILVER IN THE SHADOWS   Silence before collapse

    The days passed like a tightening noose.The air in the pack house had shifted. It was no longer tense but brittle, like one wrong breath would shatter everything. Trixie still did her duties with mechanical precision: checking the pups' bruises after training, brewing calming teas for insomniac warriors, even running supply checks for the infirmary. But Ryker could feel her absence even when she was in the room.Especially when she was in the room.They hadn’t spoken since the confrontation. Not a glance. Not a word. Just silence thick enough to choke on.The pack felt it.They always did.Ryker stood outside the strategy hall, arms crossed, jaw locked. Trixie walked past him on her way to the supply station without so much as a flicker of acknowledgment. Not even the usual sarcasm. She was wearing her usual black joggers, her braid swinging behind her, and Ryker hated how his eyes still found her, still searched her.She didn’t look at him.And that—that burned more than anything.“

  • SILVER IN THE SHADOWS   Colliding hearts

    ''Look at my babies,such beautiful angels given to me by the moon goddess. ''Laughter and baby voices filled the amosphere.The nice weather turned to gray skies,a storm brewing from a far.The winds picking up.The tree branches falling as the storm increased.In front of me lay a woman,dress covered in blood.A happy soul now laid on the ground,lifeless and cold.''Mama,mama please wake up.I promise I wont ever run to the stream alone.''A young girl pleaded.Tears clouding her eyes .''Leila ! '' A voice had come from behind.''Papa,I did not mean it.'' The young girl had pleaded .''From now henceforth,you're no longer part of the pack.'' A voice with finalty had been directed to her.'Well.well..Get her ! ''This had been enough to jolt her from her dream.It had been ling since Trixie had gotten a nightmare.''Oh..Oh.Ryker...Fuckk...''The storm outside did little to mask the grunts and screams from Ryker's room.After a few minutes the house was free from the moans,just thunder noises

  • SILVER IN THE SHADOWS   The truth that stings

    The bruises on my thigh had started to throb again.I told myself it was fine—I could walk it off, push through the pain like I always did. But when I almost collapsed while carrying water buckets to the kitchen, Emma all but shoved me out the door.“Go see Eric,” she ordered. “Now. Before your leg gives out for good.”I didn’t argue.The walk to the medical wing felt longer than usual, partly because of the ache in my muscles—and partly because of the soft flutter I always felt when I thought of him.Eric.Not Ryker, with his dangerous eyes and painful silences.Not Will, who was calm and kind like a gentle snowfall.But Eric—sunshine in human form. His smirk could knock the air from my lungs. The way his fingers lingered when he patted my shoulder or helped me up, the way he winked when I passed him in the hallway. All of it made something bloom in my chest. Something silly. Something I hadn't allowed myself to feel in a long time.A crush. A sweet, stupid crush.He was funny. Stron
