The sun began its descent, casting a warm golden hue across the quiet neighborhood. The door creaked open, revealing a tired and weary Faith stepping into her humble abode. The weight of the day seemed to press upon her slender shoulders, the lines of exhaustion etched deeply into her face. She had endured a long and arduous day in cleaning the complete training building. Her footsteps, slow and deliberate, echoed through the narrow hallway as she made her way towards the room where her little daughter, Echo, awaited her return. Faith closed the door gently behind her, the click resonating throughout the silent room. She let out a heavy sigh, releasing the pent-up tension that had accumulated within her. As Faith approached the room, she could hear the faint sounds of soft weeping, punctuated by tiny sniffles. A heaviness settled in her chest as she recognized the familiar sound of her daughter's sadness. Faith's pace quickened, her concerns growing, and she gently pushed open the do

Kendrick stood outside the secret door of the dungeon to make sure there wasn't anyone standing outside. He didn't want anyone to find out about this place. When he didn't hear any sound near the place, he slowly opened the door. As he stepped through the door, he noticed a small petite body at the opposite side, leaned against the wall and laying down. Walking further toward that body, Kendrick discovered Faith lying asleep on the floor. His brows frowned as he couldn't hear her heartbeat. "Faith…?" He kneeled down and slowly called out her name, but received no response.Worry welled up inside him as he rushed to her side, gently shaking her to wake her up. However, Faith remained in a deep slumber, oblivious to his presence.Kendrick's worry turned into a mix of relief and tenderness as he realized she was unharmed and simply exhausted from cleaning the whole training building herself. He carefully scooped her up into his arms, cradling her against his chest. Her head nestled aga

The dimly lit room was filled with an air of despair as Steven carefully tended to the wounds that marred Faith's delicate skin. They were in a room beside Faith's room on Faith's request. The crimson stains on the bandages bore witness to the violence she had endured. Each gentle touch of the sterile gauze was a reminder of the pain she had suffered, and Steven didn't like it at all. Faith tried to hold in her cries as much as possible.As Steven gingerly wrapped the bandage around her battered arm, his hands trembled with a mixture of sadness and frustration. The sight of Faith's injuries, inflicted by those with ill intentions, unleashed a torrent of emotions within him. His hatred for Selena increased some more. The weight of guilt settled heavily upon his shoulders, for he had been unable to shield her from the clutches of Selena. He was going to deal with her later. "I'm so sorry, Faith," Steven whispered, his voice quivering with remorse. "I should have protected you like I p

Kendrick sat alone in his office room, the evening shadows casting a somber hue over the space. The walls were adorned with faded family photographs, capturing moments of joy and togetherness that now felt distant. Dust particles floated in the air, catching the faint light that seeped through the half-closed curtains.He went to a neighboring pack for a meeting. He had returned earlier than intended. He was feeling uncomfortable and restless so he wrapped up the meeting soon.His heart felt heavy, burdened by a pain he couldn't quite explain. It was as if invisible tendrils of anguish wrapped around his chest, constricting and squeezing with an intensity that left him breathless. The weight of the world seemed to rest on his shoulders, a culmination of his own struggles. "What's happening?" He asked himself, almost breathless. "Our mate…" His Lycan howled in his mind as well, making him frown. "What happened to her..?" He asked his Lycan while groaning in the unbearable pain which

"Kendrick." Faith breathed, her voice a fragile melody. "Please, help me…I can't take this pain." She almost begged as uncontrollable tears rolled down her eyes which she closed again. Kendrick understood that either she was under medication or she was in a daze because of high fever or pain. Because she was losing consciousness and regaining it. Tears welled up in Kendrick's eyes without his control or permission, his heart breaking anew at the sight of the woman he still held dear, battered and broken. He approached her with aching tenderness, his hand reaching out to gently clasp hers. In that touch, he offered solace, a silent promise to be her unwavering support."I'm here, Faith," Kendrick murmured softly, his voice brimming with care and sadness. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what." And in that moment, he resolved to protect her. They both knew they would be out of this beautiful dream soon but till that time comes, they both want to hold onto this moment. The momen
