เข้าสู่ระบบIn the cold stone chamber of Ashbane's war hall, Garrett and Alpha Kael stood over a large table, looking down at a rough map of the Dark Moon Pack sprawled across its surface. Several key locations were circled in dark ink. The council of elders chambers, training grounds, supply routes, and guard posts.Alpha Kael's sharp claw traced along a narrow path that etched into the northern border."This is where they are weakest. The forest trails near the old mill are barely guarded at night. We should slip in through here."Garrett nodded, his expression taut with calculation. "You are indeed a man whose calculations are unpredictable," he commented.Alpha Kael scoffed. " I did not rise to this position by being meek or following the usual trend,""Right!" Garrett nodded. "Once we are able to infiltrate the place, the seed of chaos is sown. We should start with small acts at first. Sabotage their armories, burn whatever supplies they have and finally whisper lies into the ears of waverin
Hours before the hearing, while most of the pack were still sleeping or preparing for the council session, Garrett met with an old contact on the outskirts of town, behind an abandoned bakery, where the scent of rot masked most conversations.The man waiting was draped in a tattered cloak, bearing the sign of the old Iron Watchers, mercenaries who served gold, not honor."I need you to stop a mouth from opening," Garrett had said, in a controlled low tone.The man slowly nodded. "The person in question is a maid. The one staying in the Alpha's quarters?""Yes," Garrett said. "I assure you that you will be paid in gold, land, or blood. Whatever currency you want!"The man smirked. "Done. But if the kill fails....""It should not!" he said angrily. "She is no tough wolf, she is just a girl haunted by guilt and fear. She will not and cannot fight back.""Does the Luna know about this?" The man asked, paying closer attention to Garrett's body language."Why are you bringing her into all o
The great hall of the Dark Moon Pack's council chambers had never felt so suffocating. The space was full to the brim. Every elder, high-ranking warrior, personal guards, healers, and representatives from allied packs sat in silence, with the weight of anticipation pressing on every shoulder.At the head of the long, arched chamber which was a little above ground level sat Alpha Edwin, who was dressed in jet-black attire, flanked by Ralph, and a few other trusted guards. Together with the neutral elders, Marah sat close to him.His face was expressionless, but his fingers tapped slowly on the stone armrest of his chair. A gesture which was a signal: a show of readiness, go-ahead and anxiety.On either side of the room, the rest of Edwin's best guards stood alert. Ralph, stood right behind Marah's chair, kept his gaze sweeping the crowd.At the far back, Vanessa and Garrett sat together. Garrett's smile was too wide, too confident. Vanessa, however, watched the proceedings with arms cr
Garrett's study was unusually quiet. No fire raged in the fireplace. No guards lingered by the door. It was just father and daughter, Garrett and Vanessa, who were standing in silence over a spread of papers and scrolls scattered across the table.*What do you think, Luna?* He finally said, breaking the silence."What do you mean by what do I think, father?" She answered. "I thought that you were the one calling the shots here," "Vanessa," he softly called. "You and I both know that this is not the time and place to start coming at each other or being sarcastic. At this point, we have very limited time, and it will be ideal for us to maximize it to our advantage," he said with a serious tone." Fine!" She grudgingly replied."Great!" He exclaimed. " So back to what I think, I think...." he said, shaking his head. " I know that she is nothing short of a liability," Garrett muttered, pointing at a record bearing Marah's name. "And if she testifies, it is really over for us. We will be

The firelight from Garrett's fireplace burned low, casting angry flickers across the stone walls of his private chambers. The stench of burnt scrolls and records still clung to his cloak as he paced.Two of his masked enforcers stood silently before him, with their heads bowed. The kind of wolf who did not need details, only orders. Garrett's voice was low, deadly calm."We are at your service, Beta Garrett," one of them spoke after a moment of silence."Your task tonight is simple and straightforward," Garrett said."You should go into Alpha's residence," he said. "There is a maid called Marah. She sleeps under heavy guard in a place that I do not know if but I trust you to find your way around it. "The two assassins nodded, wordless, although they had doubts in their hearts."No mess," Garrett added. "No noise. You can poison her if you can. But make sure to silence her before dawn."Before the command could be echoed, a sharp voice ran through the room:"Are you out of your mind?"
The Scarlet Pack was way quieter and peaceful than Edwin had expected.Situated between hills of crimson-streaked rocks and evergreen trees, the settlement felt strangely reverent as if even the wind knew to move carefully.The Seer’s dwelling was not grand like he had envisioned and thought of it.
Days rolled into days, and Tiara continued her life of great toil and sweat. From dawn to dusk, she did menial jobs, trying to make ends meet. Still, the people still whispered behind her back.And though she still lived in a broken cottage behind the arena, Tiara now walked with a quiet strength
The arena was dead silent.A training accident, they called it. It had happened that a rare spearhead had dislodged from the ceiling where it was hanged and it sank right into the little boy. No one expected it. No one could have stopped it.Except for one girl.The same girl they had mocked, ridi
After a very long day of doing the usual routine, Tiara finally got to go home, after enduring so much during the day.Not long after she jumped on her bed, she closed her eyes and patiently waited for sleep to engulf her.And in no time..... "Scrub the floor...." She mumbled in her sleep, finally
