The new information I acquired from the Faeland both amazed and shocked my parents.My mother looks at me thoughtfully. "It does make sense as to why I posses the special blood to heal wounds," she says.I nod, my mind still trying to process everything. "It seems like Fae blood runs in our family, Mom. But why didn't you ever tell me about it?"My father chimes in. "Your mother and I had no idea."My mother reaches out and places a hand on my cheek. "We love you, Adrian. I wouldn't hide something like this on purpose.""I understand, Mom, Dad. But now that I know, I want to learn more about this Fae power within me. I want to use it for good, just like I did in Faerieland today."My parents exchange glances, and my father finally nods. "You're right, Adrian. There has to be a way to harness your hidden powers.""By the way, how was your date? Do you love Anna yet?" my sister chimes in.I chuckle at my sister's question, which comes out of nowhere in the midst of this serious conversa
****Author note: This epilogue is written in the third person point of view so every character can be involved.**** Six year later... It is time. Alpha Xavier decides it is time to end his leadership and hand over the title to his older son, Adrian. The weight of leadership had rested heavily on his shoulders for many years, and now, he felt the time had come to pass the mantle to the next generation. "Are you sure he is ready for this?" Sylvia asks. He looks at his Luna and smiles fondly. She had been by his side through thick and thin and he trusted her advice. "Of course, my love. Our son is more than capable of leading this pack," Alpha Xavier reassures her. Sylvia sighs. "I trust your decision. And yes, you are right. Adrian is capable. And Anna is excellent as his Luna," she says with a smile on her face. "We raised our children well, don't you think?" Alpha Xavier smiles. "Yes, we did." With a heavy heart, Alpha Xavier calls for a meeting with all the pack members. The
I am running down the long corridor of the mansion, my heart pounding in my chest as I try to catch my breath. The sound of my footsteps echoes off the walls, and I can feel the sweat dripping down my forehead.I have tried to keep it quiet in the past, but I don't care anymore. I can't let him get me.Alpha Xavier.The Alpha of the Silverblade pack takes no nonsense or disobedience. If he knows I'm the one they are after, there will be no doubt I will be sent away to the place I never want to be back again, even if I'm just a nobody to him.Or worse, I will be punished severely for trying to outsmart him.It was stupid of me to think that I could hide in this pack without being noticed and that I could pretend to be some random refugee rogue to be offered a random job for serving the pack.If he knows I have been avoiding him deliberately in the last two months, especially when he was already looking for me, I'll be doomed. I can't be put into the dungeon. No way.Because I know how
Two months ago."You two, go check that way!" The man says roughly from across the road, sending his men the other way."Oh lord, it's all my fault! I should have just gone with her!" The old lady cries, making my heart ache. "How could I not know she was running away? She said she was scared of him, but I didn't take it seriously! The Alpha and his Luna will never forgive me!"The night I finally decide to run away, it is enveloped in an eerie darkness. It is raining heavily outside, and clouds swirl menacingly in the sky.My clothes are soaking wet, but I do not care. I need to leave this place as fast as I can. I race desperately through the woods, my heart pounding with fear. My long, raven-black hair clings to my drenched face, partially hiding my tear-streaked cheeks. I can hear my previous pack members shouting as they hunt for me.With adrenaline coursing through my veins, I push forward, not knowing where I am going.I keep running until I find a hidden cave and take shelter
Who could've thought I would be much happier as a maid in a stranger's pack than living in my own?But here I am, another week later, singing my favorite tune while doing laundry.Don't get me wrong, my new life isn't completely worry-free as Alpha Gabriel's men are still out there, looking for me. I've taken special precautions to hide my identity here. I dyed my hair red to hide my raven black hair and used special herbs to suppress my wolf and its scent. So hopefully, I never get caught.Rosemary's voice breaks through my thoughts. "Sylvia, I have another batch of clothes for you!" she calls out as soon as she enters the laundry room.I smile and nod, acknowledging her request. "I will start on them as soon as I finish this load," I respond politely.Rosemary looks at me admiringly. "You've been working quite hard since you got here. I ought to recommend you to be promoted."I feel a flutter of anxiety. "I mean... I am truly grateful for your kind words, but I am quite happy here,
I noticed something while I worked in this pack house. I noticed that the other maids had been watching me from a distance. But none of them seemed to be interested in talking to me.It is probably for the best, but I feel kind of lonely. It has been a long time since I had a friend my age. And then, one day, I heard them whispering about me."She looks too good to be working in here," one said. "Almost too pretty," another said. "God, I hope she doesn't try to steal our men away," a girl with red hair giggles at her own joke.I can't help but roll my eyes. Are they seriously talking about me like this?The truth is, I'm not actually that beautiful in comparison to the other maids. But they seem to be hating on the fact that Rosemary, the head maid, praises me a lot. I can't deny that her compliments have made me feel better about myself and my purpose in this house. She's always been kind to me since I first started working here, and she makes sure that all of us are treated fairly
I make my way to the Alpha's room, my hands trembling as I try to keep my grip on the letters.I don't even have my face covered, so he will know what I look like. Oh, Moon Goddess, why couldn't Rosemary just assign this to someone else?I was perfectly happy tucked in the corner of the kitchen washing dishes.My nerves are getting the better of me as I get closer and closer to his room. The weight of the letters in my hands seems to increase with every step.My trembling hands fumble with the letters. One slips from my grasp and flutters to the floor. I curse under my breath, quickly picking it up and straightening it out. Taking a deep breath, I steady myself and knock on the door.A few moments pass, which feel like an eternity, but the door doesn't open.Hmm...maybe he is not inside.I turn the knob and the door opens with a slight creak. I cautiously enter the Alpha's room, and when I look inside, it's empty.The space is dimly lit, with only a faint glow from the moonlight seepi
Our eyes lock, and I feel like I can hardly breathe. Alpha Xavier's piercing gaze holds me captive, leaving me transfixed in the moment. The intensity radiating from his eyes is so potent that it sends shivers down my spine. I can sense a flurry of emotions swirling within him, yet he remains silent.Why is he not saying anything?"You," he says huskily. "You are..." he stops talking again. My heart pounds in my chest as it fills with dread. Has he recognized me from the other pack? But how could he?He clears his throat. "Remind me your name again.""It's Sylvia, Alpha," I say meekly."Sylvia," he repeats, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and intrigue. I peer into his eyes, searching for any sign of recognition, but there is none. I only notice a subtle shift in his gaze. There's something else lingering in his eyes, something that goes beyond recognition. "This is very strange, Sylvia, but I can't quite track your scent. Are you not a werewolf?""Of course I am!" I exclaim.
