*Amber*

The day has finally arrived. Today, Tjeck and Adis have agreed to put me through my final trials, a series of tests that will determine whether I am ready to step into the world outside Tjeck's protective walls. Under Tjeck's leadership, every new member must endure a rigorous evaluation, and though Adis usually shies away from such formalities in his pack, he has conceded that this is the best way to assess my readiness and to ensure that Tjeck honors the pact they made regarding my training.

For nine long months, I've poured my heart and soul into my preparation, and now a whole new chapter awaits me. I can almost taste the freedom of becoming an active member of the pack, the thrill of leaving the familiar behind and embracing the untamed wilderness that lies ahead. At the same time I am a bit nervous, I thrive in my current life, what if I am about to mess that up by wanting more?

As dawn breaks, the first rays of sunlight filter through the trees, casting dappled shado

  • The lost packs   What he fears

    *Tjeck* I’m sprawled out in one of the faded armchairs, my fingers drumming an erratic rhythm on the armrest as I listen to Amber and Kattie. They’re animated, their voices weaving through the air like a lifeline in the storm brewing outside. The faint light from the cracked windows dances off their faces, but my mind’s too occupied to appreciate the warmth. Thorn’s wedding. The words alone send a chill down my spine. It’s not that I don’t want to celebrate him… Thorn’s like a brother to me, and I’d stand by him any day. But the city? The mayor? The pack? That’s where the real danger lies. I glance between Amber and Kattie, who are caught up in their debate. Amber’s eyes sparkle with determination as she defends Thorn… he is her brother after all. “He would never let anyone hurt us. He’s not like that,” she insists, her voice steady. Kattie arches an eyebrow, her skepticism clear. “But this isn’t just about Thorn, Amber. You know that. We’re stepping into a world that’s been hos

  • The lost packs   What side will he take

    *Zombie* The wooden floorboards creak beneath my restless feet as I pace the length of the pack house. The scent of saltwater lingers in the air, a reminder that the harbor is just a stone’s throw away. But right now, the ocean’s calmness feels like a taunt, an unsettling contrast to the storm brewing within me. I can still see Amber’s face, her eyes bright with determination, and it unsettles me in ways I can’t articulate. There’s a pull in my chest, a magnetic force drawing me toward her, yet I know better than to give in. She’s a kind of an ally now, not a potential mate. The brother of her dead mate shouldn’t even entertain such thoughts, also she accepts me, but she probably still hate me. I stop and lean against the wall, running a hand through my hair, trying to shake off the remnants of our conversation. There’s something about her resolve, the way she stands firm against the chaos, that makes me feel both inspired and inadequate. I shouldn’t care. I should focus on the loom

  • The lost packs   Alpha meeting

    *Thorn* As I step into the mayor’s office, the atmosphere thickens with tension, swirling like the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. The room is lavishly decorated, a stark contrast to the gritty underworld I’ve known for so long. But no amount of opulence can mask the wary glances exchanged among the high-ranking Alphas gathered around the polished mahogany table. I can feel their scrutiny, each gaze a silent accusation, a reminder of the chasm that still separates us. I take my seat across from Mayor Alden Price, Teyla’s father, my future father-in-law. He wears a mask of calm professionalism, but I sense the underlying current of doubt in his posture. It’s not just me; it’s the underworld itself. I’ve come from shadows they don’t fully understand, and I can feel the weight of their skepticism pressing down on me. “Thorn,” Alden begins, his voice steady but laced with the sharpness of a blade, “we appreciate your willingness to join us today. As you know very well, these are

  • The lost packs   What is up with Zombie?

    *Amber* I push through the heavy door leading into the common area, my heart still racing from the encounter with Zombie. The air feels charged, crackling with the weight of everything hanging in the balance. I need to find Kattie, I need to talk things through with her. She’ll know what to do. I scan the room, searching for her familiar face, and there she is… sitting in one of the old mismatched chairs, her legs tucked beneath her, a book spread open in her lap. The moment she sees me, her eyes light up, a warm smile breaking across her face that momentarily chases away the shadows clouding my thoughts. “Amber!” she exclaims, putting the book aside. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” “More like a walking disaster,” I reply, rushing toward her. “I just had a conversation with Zombie.” Her smile falters, and I catch the flicker of tension in her expression. “Oh. Was it… good?” I nod, feeling the weight of my words. “He wanted to know about Christopher and Thorn. He’s worried

  • The lost packs   Still scared of Tjeck

    *Amber* The sun peeks through the curtains, casting a gentle glow throughout the nursery as I watch Adion play with his toys. The warmth envelops me, but it’s quickly interrupted by the sudden sound of the gate alarm blaring insistently. A guard shows up at my door, “It is Zombie, he is asking for you.” My heart skips a beat. I can’t help but feel a flutter of anxiety mixed with a strange, inexplicable excitement. I’ve learned not to ignore my instincts, and today they’re buzzing like bees. “Stay right here, sweetheart,” I whisper to Adion as I place a soft kiss on his forehead, his little giggle bubbling up like a melody. I step out of the nursery and make my way down the hallway, the familiar creaks of the old school echoing like ghosts of the past. As I approach the gate, I see him waiting there… Zombie. He stands with an unusual mix of confidence and nervousness, shifting on his feet like a man unsure of his welcome. The sight of him stirs something in my chest; a cocktail o

  • The lost packs   Back to his new life

    *Thorn* As we settle into the plush backseat of the town car, the soft hum of the engine wraps around us like a warm blanket as we slide through the gate and soon leaves the underworld behind. Teyla sits beside me, her eyes sparkling with the remnants of joy from our visit. I can’t help but glance out the window at the stretch of forest before the familiar city skyline comes into view, the lights twinkling like stars against the night. It’s a sight I’ve seen countless times, but it is the first time in my life I see it coming home. I’d sworn an oath to myself and the underworld a long time ago, a promise to never let go of the life I’d built within its shadows. But the moment I bonded with Teyla, when I realised what we can do together, not just for ourselves but for my friends and family in the underworld, everything shifted. The weight of my past suddenly felt like a distant echo, drowned out by the possibilities of the future. I turn to Teyla, her profile illuminated by the sof
