Mag-log inGIDEON“You must be alert. You must be fully prepared to go to war at any minute because we do not know when they will strike. Do you understand?!” I growled as I walked around my soldiers.“Yes, Alpha!” their voices chorused.I was addressing my soldiers after another intense training session. Tomorrow was the scheduled day for the hunting, the day whoever was planning a coup would likely invade my territory. We did not know how many of them there would be, but we would be fully prepared for them.“Alpha,” my beta, Ethan, suddenly approached me with my phone. I had given it to him to hold for me. “Your mother-in-law has been calling continuously,” he said as he handed me the phone.I excused myself from the crowd immediately and picked it up.“Gideon,” Amelia said breathlessly from the other end of the phone.My stomach knotted instantly, sensing the worry in her tone.“What happened? Did anything happen to Daisy?” I quickly asked.“She has been taken by Gabriel,” she muttered, and a
DAISY“Lila?” I exclaimed in shock.“Healthy and alive,” she said, spreading her arms open as she chuckled.The rage boiling through me intensified. It surged through my veins like fire, hot and violent, until all I could think about was breaking free. I started pulling at the cuffs with all my strength, desperately wishing they would snap so I could pounce on Lila and destroy her with my bare hands.“Easy,” Lila muttered calmly, as though she was not evil. “You will only injure yourself like that. You can never break yourself free.”“You betrayed us!” I growled.I could feel my wolf starting to surface, clawing her way up from within me. But for some reason, she felt trapped. She was fighting to come forward, struggling violently beneath my skin, but something was holding her back. Some unknown force had locked her away from me.Gabriel had trapped her.“I swear,” I continued, poison lacing every word I spat, “I will kill you the moment I set myself free.”“Unfortunately, or fortunat
DAISYMy body felt light. Extremely light, as though a burden I had been carrying for so long had finally been lifted off my shoulders. The intense body heat was no longer there, neither was the will to destroy. For the first time in a while, I felt free. If not for the threat ahead that required my maximum magic to fight, I would have never taken it back.We continued training, and I was making significant progress. Elder Amos was a good and patient teacher, guiding me through how to control my magic. I had also been sparring with Peter, and we had grown quite close over the last seven days.Today, I had finished practicing with Elder Amos and was sparring with Peter. Before today, we had always bantered while we sparred, but now he was extremely quiet and looked gloomy, as though something was bothering him.“Are you okay?” I asked with concern as our blades clanked against each other.“What?” he asked.“You seem really quiet today. Is something bothering you?” I asked.“I am fine,”
DAISYGideon was definitely hiding something from me. He probably didn’t want to get me worried. That was why he was hiding it. If not for the fear of hurting the people I loved, I would have teleported to the pack to find out what was happening. But since I couldn’t do that, I decided to go ask Mother.I had suspected that she was in the throne room, so I made my way there.Just as expected, I found her seated comfortably on the throne, several scrolls floating around her while she reviewed them.A smile tugged at my lips immediately.“Well, look at you,” I teased as I walked further inside. “The Mighty Clan Leader.”Mother rolled her eyes dramatically.“Please spare me,” she groaned. “I have been buried in work all evening.”I chuckled softly before sitting on the step beneath the throne.“I still can’t believe you are actually leading the entire kingdom now.”“Neither can I,” she muttered tiredly. “Sometimes I miss when your grandfather handled all of this.”My smile softened sligh
GIDEONThe moment the call with Daisy ended, I remained seated in silence for a while, staring blankly at the desk in front of me.Something about the entire situation felt wrong.No matter how much I tried to ignore the feeling, it lingered heavily in my chest like a warning sign.One of the warriors claimed to have sighted some strange soldiers outside the pack borders, so I had sent Ethan and some of my other men to go check it out.Now, I was in my office, waiting for their return...A knock on the office door interrupted my thoughts.“Yes, come in,” I muttered.The door opened, and Ethan stepped inside.His expression alone told me the news wasn’t good.“What do you have?” I asked immediately as I rose to my feet.“We found camps around the pack,” he answered grimly.My jaw tightened instantly.“What kind of camps?”“Military camps,” he replied. “Massive ones.”Shock hit me immediately.“What?”“We discovered traces of several hidden camps stationed around the borders of the pack
DAISY“Try to make it smoke,” Elder Amos repeated calmly. “Without burning it.”I stared at the dried stick in my hand with disbelief.“That’s the first lesson?” I asked.“Yes,” he nodded simply.Peter snorted beside me. “Trust me, it sounds easier than it actually is.”I narrowed my eyes at him. “You don’t even wield fire magic. How do you know?”“I’ve seen my father do it countless times,” he shrugged.I ignored him and focused my attention back on the stick. I could feel the fire beneath my skin already responding to my emotions, eager to burst free the moment I let my guard down.“Fire magic is not about destruction,” Elder Amos began as he slowly walked around me. “That is the first mistake most fire wielders make. Fire is emotion. Fire is life. Fire is warmth before it becomes destruction.”I stared at the stick carefully.“So what exactly am I supposed to do?”“Control the temperature,” he answered. “You are not trying to burn it. You are trying to heat it just enough for smoke
VIOLET Two of the soldiers suddenly grabbed my arms and began to drag me back inside the pack house. I struggled, threw my body all around to free myself, but I stood no chance against them. My chest was on the verge of exploding with rage as I tried to make sense of why this was happening.They t
VIOLET“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, and I couldn’t help but laugh at how incredulous what he had just said was. “What is funny?” Father looked at me, confused, as if he wasn’t the one who had just said the most ridiculous thing ever. “It doesn’t even ma
AXELTo say that I was shocked that Silas agreed to allow Violet to remain in the school is an understatement. I had expected him to forcefully take her back. He snapped his gaze at me, a deadly glare shooting through his eyes. “I give you seven days to reject her, else you will find out what I w
VIOLET“We go through the same thing every time you have a date with him,” Daisy said exasperatedly as she helped me pick a dress for the date.“You say this as if we’ve gone on dates countless times.” I rolled my eyes as I picked up a blush pink chiffon midi dress with flutter sleeves and stared a
