Shadows of a Journalist Chapter 81: Shadows in the Night
The roar of battle had dimmed to distant echoes, replaced by the creeping stillness of a war-torn night. Yet the war was far from over. Beneath the masking cloak of darkness, a bold plan was set in motion—a covert strike aimed at crippling Jeremy’s remaining strongholds and unraveling the dark web that threatened to consume them all.Travis stood beside Lena in the fading twilight, the weight of exhaustion evident in his eyes as he watched the camp prepare for the dangerous mission ahead. His gaze softened when it met hers, worry threading through his voice.“This fight... it’s not your burden to carry, Lena,” he said quietly, placing a steady hand on her shoulder. “You have to survive this—for our child, for the pack’s future. You’ll be safe at the safehouse. I promise, I’ll come back for you.”Lena’s fingers curled around his, fierce yet tender. “You think I’m just going to sit and wait while you risk everything?”“You’re stronger than anyone,” Travis admitted, voice thick with emot
Shadows of a Journalist Chapter 80: The Flames of War
The night’s black cloak was ripped apart by the relentless fury of battle. Jagged bolts of flame erupted from crude bombs, igniting thick underbrush and sending towering infernos curling toward the darkened sky. The forest echoed with the sharp staccato of gunfire, rifles barking from concealed nests, punctuated now and then by the harsh crack of pistol shots in close quarters.Arrows with poisonous barbs sliced through the air with deadly intent, skewering flesh and lodging in bone. Warriors screamed, clutching wounded limbs, collapsing into the cold, unforgiving earth amid the chaos. The scent of blood, gunpowder, and burning wood created a suffocating haze that choked lungs and blurred vision.Selene fought at the edge of exhaustion, her body slick with sweat and blood. A jagged gash traced across her forearm, burning with each pulse of movement. Worse was the deep slash running along her thigh—a blade from a loyalist pack member that turned her legs to lead. She stumbled, pain rad
Shadows of a Journalist Chapter 79: Preparation and Resolve
The dawn was a fragile whisper, barely touching the horizon as Lena stood at the edge of the allied camp. The cool morning air drifted through the trees, carrying the sharp scent of pine and damp earth. Around her, the camp was alive with preparation - warriors moved with quiet purpose, sharpening blades, tending wounds, checking weapons and supplies. The crackling of small fires blended with murmured conversations, a symphony of tension and resolve.Lena’s hand rested gently on the swell of her belly, a small and precious life growing within her. Despite the chaos that surrounded them, this tender connection anchored her - fueling a fierce determination to protect what mattered most. Every breath, every beat of her heart was a vow for the future.Her mind drifted back to Jeremy Rathbone, and the dangerous path she had narrowly avoided. She remembered the way he had approached her with a predator’s grace, a velvet promise masked in charm and power. The way his dark eyes held her capti
Shadows of a Journalist Chapter 78: A Chance Meeting
The rain fell in gentle sheets, obscuring the world outside the cozy coffee shop where Sarah sought refuge from the storm. She sat by the window, fingers wrapped around a steaming mug, savoring the warmth that spread through her palms. The soft murmur of quiet conversations and the rich scent of roasted beans offered a brief escape from the heaviness weighing on her mind.Then she noticed him, dark hair, blue eyes - so handsome it should be sinful.Jeremy Rathbone entered with a self-assured grace that turned heads, but it was his eyes that fixed on her - dark, intense, yet unexpectedly searching. There was a spark in those eyes, a promise of worlds she hadn’t dared imagine.“Mind if I join you, beautiful?” he asked, sliding into the seat across from her with a smile that promised secrets and adventures.Sarah hesitated, then shook her head. As he sat, his presence filled the small space, a mix of danger and allure.Conversation flowed with surprising ease. Jeremy spoke of loyalty, po
Shadows of a Journalist Chapter 77: Shadows Deepen
Lena’s breath hitched as the chaos of war crashed around her like a relentless storm. The acrid scent of smoke and blood filled the air, mingling with the sharp cries of battle. Around her, steel clanged and fangs snapped - wolves clinging desperately to every inch of ground. Yet amid the swirling violence, her mind was elsewhere, haunted by questions darker than the night itself.She pressed her palm to her swelling belly, a tender gesture rooted in fragile hope. The thought that gnawed at her heart was one she dared barely voice even to herself - was Jeremy’s cruelty fueled by more than ambition and rage? Had he shared a secret with Sarah, a connection that cut deeper than pack politics and treachery?The memory emerged suddenly: whispered conversations caught in shadowed moments, stolen glances charged with unspoken words. Sarah’s fierce gaze met Jeremy’s more than once with a flicker of something forbidden - a relationship tangled in secrecy and danger.Lena’s voice trembled in th

The destruction of Jeremy’s dark crystal had shattered a core element of his power, sending shockwaves through Rathbone Manor and striking a blow to the confidence of his loyalists. Yet the fractured alpha’s fury ignited like a raging inferno within him - an uncontrollable tempest fueled by desperation, rage, and a fierce hunger to retain control at any cost.From the towering battlements of Rathbone Manor, Jeremy’s voice boomed, echoing like thunder through the stone corridors and across the dark woods.“Arm the loyalists! Seek out every traitor and wavering soul! Show them the price of disloyalty - merciless and absolute!” His words were a decree of wrath, a call to arms that summoned the fiercest and most ruthless warriors from the shadowed corners of his pack.In the allied camps nestled amidst the forest, the warning of Jeremy’s retaliation reached Selene with cold immediacy.
