~ Alister's POV~Elijah's heart pounded against his chest as he surveyed the chaotic scene before him. The ground was littered with the bodies of fallen wolves, both rogue and from his own pack. The air was thick with the metallic scent of blood and the sounds of growls, snarls, and yelps filled his ears.He noticed the path that Alister had cleared for him before he heard Alister’s voice in his head, “ go Elijah! Get to the pack house!... Go” Alister shouted through the mind link.The pack house was the heart of the pack's territory, the place where they gathered and took refuge in times of crisis. It was heavily fortified and well-guarded, but the recent attacks had taken a toll on their defenses. There were some warriors there, but most of them were either injured or not able to defend the pack house. Elijah knew that if the rogue wolves breached the pack house, the consequences would be dire.Alister had already cleared a path for Elijah, but the young wolf hesitated. "Are you su
~ Elijah's POV~The scene before Elijah was one of utter devastation. As he looked around at the corpses of his fallen pack mates and fellow warriors, he felt a sense of hopelessness wash over him. These were wolves he had trained with for years, wolves he had shared countless battles and victories with. And now, they were gone. He felt nauseous, seeing the sights.He couldn't help but gasp in shock and horror at the sight before him, his knees buckling beneath him. If it weren't for Matt, who was holding him up against the wall, he would have crumpled to the ground in despair. It was difficult to come to terms with the fact that so many of their own had perished in this terrible conflict.As he struggled to compose himself, Matt's voice cut through his despair like a knife. "Elijah," he said, his tone firm but gentle. "You need to pull yourself together and tell us what to do. Alister isn't here, and you're in charge now." Matt added.Elijah's mind raced as he considered the gravity
~ Alister's POV~Alister's heart sank as he laid eyes upon Noah, sprawled out on the cold, hard floor of the home he had generously provided for the young man. A wave of emotions washed over him as he observed his son, tears streaming down his face, propping his head up on his leg in a desperate attempt to find solace in this moment of profound grief.With a heavy sigh, Alister slowly made his way towards them, his footsteps filled with a somber familiarity. He had experienced this exact pain before, the anguish of losing a father figure, and he understood all too well the overwhelming sense of hurt, abandonment, and disorientation that engulfed Noah's heart.As he approached, Alister turned to Elijah, who stood quietly by his side, seeking solace in his presence. "The Omega kid?" he inquired, his voice filled with a mix of concern and curiosity, as he sought answers in this sea of sorrow.Elijah's eyes darted around the room, searching for a glimpse of understanding before returning
~ Alister's POV~"Alister," Elijah called, his voice breaking through the fog of Alister's thoughts.Alister let out a weary sigh, forcing back the tears that threatened to spill from his eyes. The weight of the losses they had suffered today was heavier than any he had experienced before. He followed Elijah outside, stepping into the aftermath of the recent events. Though the pack members had already carried away the fallen, the air still hung heavy with the scent of blood, a somber reminder of the tragedy that had unfolded.As Omar's sobs subsided, Alister reached out and gently patted the young boy's shoulders, providing a comforting presence as he buried his face in Alister's neck, seeking solace."We need to regroup, to plan our next steps," Elijah suggested, his voice filled with a mix of determination and understanding. "The fallen will be laid to rest with the respect they deserve, but after that, we must address the pack's needs. It won't be easy for a grieving alpha, but y
~ Luciana's POV~Luciana woke up with suddenly, fear gripping her heart. She felt that something was not right. She turned on the bed to see that the space beside her was empty and Alister was not there. It was also cold, meaning the space had been empty for long.She frowned, climbing out of the bed. Ever since the attack on the pack, everyone has been on edge. The once friendly and happy pack was no longer booming with joy. People were scared of coming out of their houses.They were all still recovering from the attack, she knew that. But their recovery was taking longer than she anticipated. She sighed, sensing Alister’s presence in the house. She left her room and climbed down the stairs to the kitchen to see him working. He had a laptop on and was furiously typing on it. He looked up the moment she entered the kitchen and smiled as she approached him.“Hey babe… “ she said, kissing his cheek.Alister pulled her into his laps and nuzzled into her, “ Hey… what are you doing u
~ Luciana's POV~Luciana, after bidding farewell to Alister that morning, had mentally planned out the activities for the day, eager to spend quality time with Keita and Omar. The delightful idea of a weekend free of school activities fueled her excitement. However, before fully diving into her plan for the day, Luciana decided to make a brief stop to the clinic on her way back to inquire about the well-being of the injured pack members." Are we going to see doctor doc?" Keita asked her, jumping on his feet.She snorted at the nick name that Keita has for doc since everyone called him doc in the pack. Keita had simply assumed that his real name was doc." Yes we're going to see doc and visit some pack members who are still healing…" she told him." Yay!" Keita shouted excitedly whole Omar simply looked bored to be doing anything. She shook her head at the contrast between both boys.With a gentle push, Luciana swung open the clinic doors, ushering Keita and Omar inside before grace
~ Luciana's POV~Luciana didn't have to wait for very long before Ophelia arrived at the clinic. She must have rushed there as fast as she could after receiving the phone call. When Ophelia opened the door to the doctor's office, her eyes were filled with fear, showing just how worried she was.The expression on Ophelia's face didn't bring any comfort to the woman. In fact, it made her even more scared. Ophelia immediately asked, "Where is he?" She looked around the room and spotted Keita sitting on the couch. She walked over to him and knelt down in front of him.Ophelia reached out her hand towards Keita and gently said, "Can you hold my hand?" She said.Keita looked at her face, perhaps wondering if it was alright to hold the hand of an older woman. Luciana nodded slightly, giving him permission. Keita shifted on the couch and took Ophelia's hand in his own.The moment Ophelia squeezed his hand, she gasped and looked at Keita, tapping his shoulder gently. " tell me to stand up, ki
~ Alister's POV~Alister was jolted awake as the car jerked to a halt, and he groggily opened his eyes to see where they currently were. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he glanced at the dashboard clock and let out a tired sigh. They had been on the road for what felt like an eternity—almost two whole hours—and they still had another grueling hour to go before reaching their destination, the Council.Now, when you think about werewolves, you might imagine these fierce creatures racing through the woods in their wolf form, swiftly navigating the shadows to reach their destination. But Alister wasn't like those typical werewolf alphas. No, he preferred a more modern approach. He didn't want to be the alpha who arrived at the council meeting all disheveled and naked, so he opted for a different mode of transportation—driving."HeyAlister… you're awake, we're stopping for gas," Matt said from the driver seat beside him, breaking the silence.Alister yawned and stretched his tired limbs,
