"What? Grayson hasnโt even been gone for a full day, and those elders are already asking questions about him?" Diana asked, letting out a scoff.Beta Luke leaned back against the wall, his gaze blank as he shrugged. "Do you think they know?" Diana pressed, her eyes narrowing in concern.Luke shook his head. "Only a few of us are aware of the truth. Unlessโฆ" His voice trailed off, his expression darkening."Unless there's a mole among us," Diana finished, crossing her arms tightly. "And of course, there is! Ryan. You put too much faith in him, Luke. He sold you information about Gilbert just for moneyโdonโt you think heโd sell this secret, too? Heโs a rogue. Loyalty isnโt his strong suit.""Shit," Luke muttered, running a hand through his hair. "I didnโt even think about that possibility.""We need to act fast and move Graysonโs body away from here," Diana said, urgency rising in her voice."Agreed," Luke nodded. "Weโll transfer him to his quarters tonight.""But how?" Evelyn interjec

James staggered back, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. The crowd erupted in gasps, whispers quickly turning to cheers of relief."IโI thought..." James stammered, his face pale as beads of sweat formed on his face."You thought I was dead," Grayson snapped, his voice sharp as a blade. "And why, James, would you assume something so outrageous?""I...erm...I..." James fumbled for words.He cast a quick glance at the elders for support as the thought of How Grayson was alive clouded his mind.Sensing Jamesโ faltering composure, Elder Demas stepped forward."We asked about you from your Beta yesterday, Alpha," he said quickly, "and his behavior was strange. It raised suspicion."Graysonโs eyes narrowed, his piercing gaze shifting to Demas. "How was it strange, Elder Demas? Did Beta Luke not inform you that I had gone on a mission?" he demanded.Elder Demas hesitated, looking away as the weight of Graysonโs stare bore down on him. "He...he did, butโ""But nothing,"

*Back to present*Beta Luke shook his head, snapping out of the memory. He smiled to himself. โNo one expected this. Grayson is a fighter, and that antidote pulled through,โ he thought to himself.Beta Luke made his way into Grayson's room where he met Diana setting up an IV fluid by the bedside."How are you feeling now?" she asked softly, her eyes scanning his pale face.Grayson let out a slow exhale, his frustration barely concealed. "A bit better physically, but mentally..." He paused, clenching his fists. "I had to summon every ounce of strength to address the pack earlier. And now, the thought of what those elders didโit's infuriating.""James," Beta Luke muttered, crossing his arms. "I'm sure heโs behind this."Grayson's jaw tightened, his anger bubbling to the surface. "I canโt wait to catch that bastard red-handed. The moment he slips, Iโll make sure heโs put away for good."Diana raised a hand, her voice firm. "Enough, Grayson. You can deal with James and the pack later. R

James pounded on Lisa's door with such force that it echoed through the silent environment. Lisa rushed to the door, alarmed and out of breath."Elder James!" she exclaimed, clutching her chest. "Why are you pounding like that? You scared me half to death!""You lied to me," James hissed, his voice seething with rage.Lisa blinked in confusion. "Lied to you? What are you talking about?"James leaned closer, his eyes narrowing. "Grayson is alive."For a moment, Lisa froze. Then she let out a short, incredulous laugh, shaking her head. "That's impossible. Please, come inside. Let's talk," she said, stepping aside to let him in.Once inside, Lisa gestured for James to sit, but he remained standing, his arms crossed."I saw him with my own eyes," James continued. "He was alive and well in his quarters, speaking as though nothing had happened."Lisa furrowed her brows, her mind racing. "Elder, I donโt know what you saw, but itโs not possible. I was there when they said he was gone. He was

The room was dimly lit, with only the soft glow of the bedside lamp casting a golden hue on the walls. Grayson reclined against a stack of pillows, his features more relaxed than they had been in days. Evelyn sat by his side, her fingers gently brushing through his hair. It was a quiet, intimate moment that neither wanted to break, though unspoken thoughts lingered between them.Graysonโs voice broke the silence. โYou donโt have to keep hovering over me, you know.โ His tone was light, but his eyes were full of warmth as they rested on her.โLook who's talking?โ Evelyn teased, a playful smile tugging at her lips. โThat's exactly the way you treated me when I was on the sick bed too.โGrayson chuckled softly, the sound low and gravelly. โSo this is revenge.โEvelyn leaned closer, her smile softening. โYes, Alpha. So stay put.โ She reached out to adjust the IV line, her hand accidentally brushing against his. For a moment, they both stilled, the contact sending a spark of warmth thro

Grayson started getting stronger with each passing day. Though his wolf, Kyle, remained silent, his physical recovery was progressing steadily. The Alpha's presence was slowly reinstating balance within the pack. He resumed back to the office and started attending to his duties once more.Seated behind the large oak desk in his office, Grayson looked through the pile of reports Beta Luke had left on his desk. A rogue sighting near their borders and the recent unrest within the pack were among the top concerns. He let out a sigh but straightened when Elder Robert knocked and entered."Alpha Grayson, may I have a word?" Elder Robert asked, bowing slightly."Make it quick, Elder," Grayson said, his voice firm and unkind.Elder Robert stepped forward, his expression a mix of concern and frustration. "I implore you, Alpha, to reconsider your decision about dissolving the council. The council has been a cornerstone of governance for generations. It offers checks and balances, ensuring n

Evelyn and Tara sat cross-legged on the floor of Evelynโs room, swatches of fabric and design sketches spread out before them. Tara picked up a piece of white satin, holding it against Evelynโs frame.โThis,โ Tara declared with a grin, โwith silver embroidery down the bodice. It screams elegance but still keeps that ethereal Luna vibe.โEvelyn laughed, brushing her fingers over the fabric. โYouโve thought about this more than I have.โโWell, someone has to! Youโre marrying an Alpha, Evelyn. You canโt just show up in a plain dress,โ Tara teased.Evelyn rolled her eyes, smiling. โI wasnโt planning on wearing plain clothes, thank you very much. But I want somethingโฆ simple. Nothing too extravagant.โTara gasped dramatically, clutching her chest. โSimple? Evelyn, no. Youโre not just any bride; youโre going to be Luna! You have to shine, especially with some of those pack members still grumbling. This is your moment to shut them up with sheer beauty.โEvelyn shook her head, laughing. โI d

Evelyn became so engrossed in wedding preparations that she barely had time to visit Grayson. Her days were packed with meetingsโvisiting the seamstress, coordinating with caterers, and overseeing the decorators in the packโs square. As Evelyn stood in the square, giving instructions to a group of decorators hanging floral garlands, she noticed Diana walking into the bustling area. Evelynโs face lit up with hope, thinking Diana might have come to show support or perhaps even to reconcile.โDiana! What brings you here?โ Evelyn greeted, her voice warm with optimism.Dianaโs eyes narrowed as she folded her arms across her chest, her posture exuding disdain. Evelynโs smile faltered, sensing the hostility.โI can see youโve finally achieved your mission in this pack,โ Diana said coldly, her tone laced with contempt.Evelynโs brows furrowed. โWhat are you talking about, Diana? I donโt understand.โDiana scoffed, her expression hard. โHow could you not understand? This was your goal all

The day finally came and the Silvermoon Pack's square was transformed into a magnificent wedding venue, adorned with flowers of every shade. White roses and lavender scattered through the air, their sweet scent mingling with the fresh breeze. The pack gathered around, their faces glowing with excitement as they eagerly awaited the ceremony.Evelyn stood at the front, her delicate frame wrapped in an elegant white gown, her hair styled in loose waves, a subtle crown of silver roses perched atop her head. Beside her stood Tara, her best friend, radiant in a pale lavender dress, and Diana, who was equally stunning as Tara.Both women smiled proudly at Evelyn, their eyes brimming with joy and support.Across from them, Grayson stood tall in his dark suit, his gaze locked on Evelyn. His heart pounded with every beat, and every fiber of his being screamed that this was right. At his side stood Beta Luke, his best man, looking at him with pride.Elder Bernard stood before the couple, rea

The pack members trooped out in their numbers to welcome Evelyn back to the pack.Grayson stood beside Evelyn, his arm gently resting around her waist, guiding her forward. The moment they reached the center of the gathering, cheers erupted from the pack. Faces that had once been filled with uncertainty and hesitation now glowed with excitement and admiration.โTara!โ Evelyn called out, her voice bright with joy as she spotted her friend among the crowd. Tara rushed over, her arms wide open, and they embraced each other tightly.โI canโt believe youโre back!โ Tara exclaimed, pulling away slightly to look Evelyn over, her eyes welling with tears. โWe missed you so much.โEvelyn smiled, squeezing Taraโs hands. โI missed you too, Tara. It feels good to be home.โโI'm glad the truth finally came out, Evelyn. I knew there was no way you would do what you were accused of,โ Tara said.โThank you, Tara. Thank you for believing in me,โ Evelyn said, smiling as she hugged her friend again.Ta

The night stretched on as Grayson, Nix, and Luke kept their vigil by the burnt remains of Jerryโs car. The fire had long since dwindled, leaving only smoldering embers and charred metal. None of them spoke much, the weight of the nightโs events keeping them silent.As the first rays of dawn broke through the trees, Grayson exhaled deeply, his sharp gaze still fixed on the wreckage. โItโs over,โ he said quietly, his voice laced with finality. โJerryโs gone.โNix stretched his arms, yawning. โIโll admit, I didnโt think the bastard would ever meet his end. But seeing thisโฆ yeah, heโs not crawling out of that one.โLuke grinned, patting Grayson on the back. โWell done, Alpha. That was one hell of a chase. Iโll never doubt your driving skills again.โGrayson smirked, finally stepping away from the ashes. โLetโs get back. Weโve been out here long enough.โThey walked back to the car, the adrenaline of the night fading into exhaustion. Grayson slid into the driverโs seat, Nix and Luke ho

The roar of an engine pierced through the forest as Jerry sped down the dirt path, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. His eyes darted to the rearview mirror, scanning the darkness for any signs of pursuit.The night was thick, cloaked in shadows, and the dim headlights of his car barely illuminated the uneven forest trail. His pulse raced. He thought he had escaped until the unmistakable hum of another engine reached his ears, faint but growing louder.โDamn it,โ Jerry cursed under his breath, glancing at the mirror again.The faint gleam of headlights in the distance confirmed his fears. โCan this bastard drive?โ He muttered to himself.He slammed his foot on the accelerator, the car jerking forward as it sped along the rugged path.In the car behind, Graysonโs hands were steady on the wheel, his sharp eyes cutting through the night like a predator stalking its prey. The trees blurred past as he maneuvered skillfully, avoiding rocks and low-hanging branches with ease.

The chaotic roar of flames engulfed the camp as the hunters, determined to hold their ground, lit the perimeter on fire. Thick, choking smoke billowed into the air, a fiery orange glow illuminating the battlefield.Jerry barked orders amidst the chaos, his voice cold and commanding. โHold the line! Donโt let the wolves take us down easily!โโWe canโt let them escape!โ Luke shouted, his voice cutting through the noise as he and his men charged forward.Hunters fired their weapons wildly, the sound of gunfire mingling with the guttural growls of wolves mid-shift. Nixโs warriors flanked the hunters, their speed and strength overpowering the disorganized defenses.In the chaos, Jerryโs sharp eyes caught sight of his car parked near the edge of the camp, half-hidden in the shadows of the surrounding trees. The faint glow of flames flickered against the vehicle's surface, and he clenched his jaw tightly, determination flashing in his gaze.โTime to live and fight another day,โ he muttere

Shadows danced beneath the canopy as the afternoon sun slowly began its descent. Beta Luke led the group, his sharp eyes scanning the ground for any sign of movement or disturbance.Alpha Nix followed closely, his keen senses on high alert, with their men fanned out behind them.โAnything yet?โ Nix asked, his voice steady but laced with urgency.โNot a damn thing,โ one of the guards replied, frustration evident in his tone. โItโs like they vanished into thin air.โโThey didnโt vanish,โ Luke said sharply, crouching to inspect a patch of broken twigs. โTheyโre just good at covering their tracks. Keep looking. They canโt have gotten far.โAnother guard called out from a few meters away. โBeta, over here! I think Iโve found something.โLuke and Nix moved quickly to the source of the voice. The guard was pointing to a faint trail of flattened grass leading deeper into the woods.โLooks like a footpath,โ Luke muttered, crouching to get a closer look. He ran his fingers along the trampled g

โWhat? How did that happen?โ Jerry snapped, his eyes flashing with rage as he shoved Evelyn away from him.โThe other Alphas in the regionโฆ they came to Silvermoonโs aid,โ the hunter stammered, his voice trembling. โWe were outnumbered. I pretended to be dead so I could escape and bring the news to you.โJerryโs eyes widened in disbelief. โSo Frank is dead?โ His voice was low, filled with a mix of shock and anger.โYes, boss,โ the hunter replied, his head bowing in submission.Jerry let out an unhinged scream, his rage vibrating through the camp like an earthquake. The remaining huntersโabout ten of themโhuddled close, their faces a mix of fear and uncertainty.โWhat do we do now, boss?โ one of the hunters asked, voice shaky.Jerryโs eyes burned with fury. โTie this bitch back to the tree,โ he growled, pointing at Evelyn. โAnd get the cars ready. Weโre leaving for the human world. Weโll reorganize and gather more reinforcements.โThe hunters immediately obeyed, quickly moving to secu

โYou sick bastard! Why did you have to kill him? He was your ally for years, and yet you killed him like an animal. Youโre nothing but a monster!โ Evelyn screamed, her voice trembling with both anger and disbelief. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she stared at the man who had taken so much from them.Jerryโs lips twisted into a cruel smirk. โYes, I am a monster. Did you just figure that out?โ With a sudden movement, he sprang to his feet and struck the side of Evelynโs head with the barrel of his gun.Blood dripped from the spot where the gun had connected, but her glare remained defiant.Graysonโs body shook with rage. He clenched his teeth so hard they might have cracked, his eyes burning with fury. He struggled against the chains that kept him bound, but the metal dug into his flesh, searing his skin with every futile pull. His growls rumbled from deep within his chest, a primal sound filled with raw frustration.โLet her go,โ Grayson snarled through clenched teeth, his

Jaxon returned to the camp with his men, as promised. His eyes narrowed when he saw Jerry standing over Grayson, taunting him with a malicious smile.โHow have the mighty fallen?โ Jerry sneered, his voice dripping with venom. โI lured you away from your pack, the very pack you fought so hard to protect. And now, Iโm about to ruin itโdestroy everything youโve struggled to hold together. After that, Iโll kill you.โGrayson met his gaze with unwavering defiance. โYou can never ruin Silvermoon. This pack is stronger than you realize. It doesnโt matter if Iโm here or not. I have warriors who will die to keep Silvermoon safe.โJerry laughed, a harsh, cruel sound that echoed through the camp. โWe shall see about that, wonโt we? I want to see the look on your face when you hear the news of your packโs defeat. Letโs see if you still keep that same pride when you know itโs all gone.โโIโll be free from these chains soon,โ Grayson growled through clenched teeth. โAnd when I do, Jerry, I will kil
