Charlene couldn't believe that what she had been dreading just that afternoon was happening right before her eyes. Being a seer meant she had to choose between her duties to the werewolves and her duties to her father!She would have chosen the latter every day of her life. Her father and brother were the only family she had. Even though he wasn't the best parent, Charlene believed that her duties to her father trumped every responsibility she now had towards the werewolf community. Charlene was beginning to wish that she didn't have anything to do with lycanthropy. It was true that being the new seer would make her life complicated, but it also meant that her family would have everything so much easier and this gave Charlotte some kind of sense of peace.She was thinking about this and she was certain that this was not how she wanted her life to be. The last thing her family needed at the moment was any new drama or complications. Their lives had come with too many losses already a

The old man adjusted in his seat, sighing as he did so, the old leather of his seat creaking. He leaned forward again, observing the five pairs of eyes that were staring right back at him.Being an omega wolf, this was more than a privilege for him. Never would he have dreamt of ever addressing the most elite werewolves in all the lands. He smiled again, happy that his nosiness of all those years ago was finally paying off. "I knew Morgan Hayford" the man began to speak, staring right back at the grand alpha. "I was the driver of the former alpha of the western Pack, Adolphus.""Why are we talking about Adolphus?" Calvin asked the others, interrupting the man. "Please listen to him" Phiri said and Calvin drew a deep breath before urging the man to continue."I was very much older than Adolphus, but he loved how I did my job" Fallon said with a proud smile. "Being his driver, I took him almost everywhere. I knew what he was usually up to and I knew when he began to visit Morgan Hayfo

Mark sighed deeply before giving orders to one of the Beta wolves to bring his brother in. Phiri observed how sweaty his forehead was, even though the room was air conditioned. She really wished she could just hold his hand. Mark had been a very good friend to her and she only wished she could be someone he could lean on in this moment.Everyone turned their attention as the double doors swung open and led by Greg, Richard made his way into the room.Calvin lifted his gaze and watched the man they were all expecting to see, stroll in confidently.He noted that Richard had an air of authority about him. Unlike his brother, he exuded the aura of a real alpha male who’d seen things in his life. He was handsome and his gait portrayed confidence in a way that spoke not only of strength but also of experience. His brown hair was parted on the side in a way that looked intentional and styled to accentuate his facial structure even more than usual. He was a personification of good looks and

Everyone was surprised by Richard's request. Considering how he had been talking, they had expected him to ask for his alpha position back or maybe something of value. Asking for a mating ceremony to be held for him was unexpected. Like everyone else, Calvin was thinking in the same direction. He wondered why Richard was asking for a ceremony. The man was old enough to be mated. Did he really need the permission of the grand alpha?"I'm not sure what it is you're asking for, Richard" Calvin confessed, sliding his hands in his pockets and staring at the man full in the face. "What exactly are you asking for?" The grand alpha asked. "Are you asking for my permission or my blessings?""I'm asking you to give me your word that the ritual would be carried out" Richard answered. "You do know that a ceremony can only be held between mated wolves, right?" Mark asked his brother. "You cannot have a ceremony with a random...""She is my mate" Richard said with utmost certainty. "Then I don'

On the way back to the Rex building, Mark stared at the beautiful setting sun. A warm breeze drifted through the car's open windows as it passed him by. The air was still and peaceful, but his mind, like a turbulent sea, was a jumble of emotions. His brother's words kept echoing in his head and he just couldn't shake off the bad feeling that it was accompanied by. "I know what you did for me throughout the years" Richard had said. "I am grateful for a brother like you."Mark knew exactly what his brother meant and now that he was finally able to connect the dots, he wished he could undo those things Richard had thanked him for. All these years, Mark knew that his brother was not dead. He remembered receiving a letter from Richard just a few months after he disappeared. It was a signed handwritten letter and Mark just knew that Richard had written it. In that letter, Richard had assured him that he was fine. He had mentioned that he just needed to get away for some time. Richard h
