It has been three long years since Savage had died to bring our daughter Alena home to her triplet siblings and family. The years have passed in a blur of joy and sorrow, the memories of Savage forever etched in the hearts of Levi, Adrian, and Blake. Alena, Samantha, and Dominik have grown into resilient toddlers, their bond as triplets unbreakable despite the loss that has marked their childhood. Levi stands on the cliff overlooking the clearing where he had last seen Savage, the evening sun casting a warm glow over the landscape. Adrian and Blake stand by his side, a silent tribute to the love they had shared with their fallen mate. As they watch the sunset, a familiar presence stirs in the air. A soft breeze ruffles their hair, carrying with it a whisper of laughter that seems to echo from beyond the veil of the physical world. Levi, Adrian, and Blake exchange knowing glances, a smile tugging at their lips as they feel Savage's spirit among them once more. Savage's ethereal pre
“Rise and shine, it's time to start your day and get ready for school,” mom softly utters as she gently massages my back to wake me up. Reluctantly, I shift to my side and meet my mom's gaze, murmuring, “I really don't want to go to school today, mom. I'm not feeling well.”Concern etched on her face, mom places the back of her hand on my forehead and asks, “What's the matter, sweetheart? You don't have a fever.” Tears welling up in my eyes, I confess, “My stomach is aching, and I have a bad feeling about today.”“Honey, everything will be ok, I promise,” Mom whispers as she kisses me on the forehead. “Now get up, birthday girl. I made your favorite breakfast of blueberry and banana crepes, along with french vanilla coffee.” Just the thought of food makes my stomach grumble, causing me to squeak before we both start laughing. “Looks like your stomach agrees. Now up with you,” mom demands with a laugh while standing up and heading out of my room. Groaning, I glance at the clock an
Reaching the school, I pull my cellphone out and text mom, “Made it to school with Clair. Going to her house after school to get ready for the party.” Mom, “Sounds good, sweetheart. Hopefully, you feel better before then. Dad and I will meet you ladies there.” “Sounds good, mom! I love you, and thank you for breakfast. Sorry, I didn't eat more of it. I am just feeling off today.” I reply to her text before putting my phone in my pocket and walking into the building. Welcome to Obsidian High School, where only those in sports are important, or so cheerleaders and jocks think. As I approach my locker, I take a moment to inhale deeply, preparing myself for the day ahead. Retrieving the necessary books and supplies for my morning classes, I suddenly feel a wave of unease wash over me. Sensing their piercing gazes, I pause and take another calming breath. However, before I can even react, the notorious “slut squad” surrounds me, led by Wendy, who can't help but mockingly remar
As we finish preparing ourselves, the sun starts to dip below the horizon, casting a golden hue over the town. Making our way to the party venue, we find ourselves in a stunning garden illuminated by twinkling fairy lights and vibrant decorations. The sounds of laughter and music fill the air, creating a lively and festive atmosphere that is contagious.Clair and I step into the garden, feeling like characters from a fairytale in our sophisticated attire. Walking through the garden, we are met with warm greetings and compliments from friends and acquaintances, adding to the already jubilant ambiance of the evening.The night unfolds with energetic dancing, delectable cuisine, and an abundance of drinks circulating among the guests. The music reverberates through the air, encouraging everyone to join in the celebration and revel in the moment. Clair and I take to the dance floor, moving in harmony with the beat, sharing laughter and spins under the twinkling stars above.As the evening
Alpha ApolloBuzz Buzz Buzz… Buzz Buzz Buzz…“Hello,” I say in a rush as I am trying to get out of the house. I am already late for Savage’s birthday party.“Apollo, are you still at home?” Council elder Micha asks.“Yes, I am running behind.” I reply as I hear Micha sigh through the phone.“You might want to sit down for this call.” Micha suggests.“Why! What’s wrong!” I demand.“We just got a report of the Obsidian pack being attacked tonight,” Micha replies.“What! I just talked to Blane a couple of hours ago.” I exclaim as I collapse on the chair.“The council needs you and your pack to investigate and see if the report is true.” Micha exhales.“I understand,” I reply, my mind racing with worry about Savage and the rest of her pack. “We will leave immediately to assess the situation and offer any help we can.”After ending the call, I swiftly gather my fellow pack members, urgently informing them about the time-sensitive situation that has arisen. The news of the attack immediatel
Levi, Adrian, and Blake“Men, we need you to go to Obsidian pack lands and investigate the attack that happened there last night.” Council elder, Leroy, says.“Alpha Apollo and his pack went last night to find any survivors, and only one survived.” Leroy informs us. “We need you to search the entire area to find out who did this.”Levi, Adrian, and Blake exchange a look, their jaws clenched in determination. They knew the importance of this mission, not just for their pack, but for the safety of all supernatural beings in the region.“Understand,” Levi speaks firmly, his voice carrying the weight of responsibility. “We will leave immediately and begin our investigation.”The three of them isted no time, shifting into their Lycan forms as they set off towards the Obsidian pack lands. The air is heavy with the scent of blood and fire, leading them towards the heart of the devastation. As they arrive at the edge of the territory, they can see the destruction that has been wrought upon the
Savage “Savage, can you hear me, sweetheart?” I hear someone say beside me, causing me to cry out in pain as I turn my head. “Uncle Apollo?” I whimper out as tears pour down my face. “Yes, baby. It’s me.” He whispers as he gently wipes the tears from my face. “Mom… Dad…. OMG my pack… They are all dead!” I cry out as I cough while screaming from the jarring pain. “I know, baby girl. I am so sorry! Nurse!” I yell, my tears falling as well from the loss.“Yes, Alpha… OMG, she is awake. Doctor, come quickly.” I hear the nurse yell as she rushes into my room. “Good morning, Savage, it's so good to see you awake. Can you tell me how you are feeling?” Dr. Becca asks. “I feel like death!” I whimper while closing my eyes once more. “We will continue to provide you with pain medication until your pain is completely manageable. However, considering that your body is healing at a normal human pace, it may take a little longer than expected.” Dr. Becca reassures me as she carefully hangs a
SavageFinally, unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I set my mug down on the nightstand and turn to Lily, studying her expression carefully. “Lily, is everything alright? You seem…… different somehow,” I venture tentatively, not wanting to overstep but unable to ignore the subtle shift in her demeanor.Lily's gaze flickers up to meet mine, a mixture of emotions swirling in the depths of her eyes. She takes a deep breath, as if steeling herself for what she's about to say. “Savage, there's something I need to tell you,” she begins, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness.My heart clenches at the serious tone in her voice, a sense of foreboding settling over me. “What is it, Lily? You can tell me anything,” I urge softly, reaching out to squeeze her hand in a gesture of support.Taking another steadying breath, Lily plunges into her revelation. “It's about your parents, Savage. There's something you need to know about your parents and the circumstances of their passing,” Lily say
