MasukGIDEON“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
AXELFather stood in the middle of the training grounds, surrounded by warriors engaged in rigorous combat practice. “Alpha Prince.” Various voices echoed in unison as warriors bowed in respect when I approached him. The moment I reached him, he threw a sword at me. I caught it instinctively, b
VIOLET“Who are you?” I asked the voice in my head. “I am Onyx. Your wolf. I’m glad to finally meet you,” she responded warmly. I was about to ask more questions when Axel jumped off the car hood, interrupting me. “So, met your wolf yet?” “No,” I blurted out. Suddenly, he seemed even more
