Emily’s heart was still pounding as she made her way out of Lord Cage’s chamber. She had just been given the most impossible task of her life, and she knew that it would be a miracle if she survived. Silently, she prayed he didn't mean it. But before she could even begin to think about how she was going to accomplish this task, she needed to check on Damon. She had not set eyes on him since he returned from the hospital.As she walked into his room, she could see that he was in a lot of pain. But he was also happy to see her.“I just thought to come check on you,” she said to him.But Damon noticed something was not right about the way she spoke. He thought she was hiding something from him. “What’s wrong?,” he asked.“Nothing, just tired,” she said, trying to feign a smile.But he didn’t believe her. “You have never been a good liar,” he said to her, his eyes fixed on her.Emily knew that she couldn’t keep the truth from him any longer. “Lord Cage wants me to go into battle against a

Bobb’s heart was pounding as he walked through the dense forest. The full moon was high in the sky, casting an eerie glow on everything around him. He had been searching for Aria for the past one hour, and he was starting to lose hope.Aria was only sister, the only remnant of whatever was family to him, after their parents and his other brother, Thomas, were murdered and burnt to death in their house by a group of masked men. He had managed to escape with Aria. Having found solace in the forest, he had sworn to protect her.“As long as there is life in me, no evil will ever come near you; no one will harm you,” he would often say to her. He meant every word he said to her…But he failed!Sometimes, death gives us signals, but we are too distracted by life!On that wretched day, he had, as he was used to, set out to hunt for games. Aria was still sleeping when he got ready.“I won't be out for long, sleepyhead,” he said to her, tapping her shoulder.“I'll go pick some fruits before yo

It was a bright and sunny morning in the forest. The birds were chirping, and the leaves rustled in the gentle breeze. The sun was shining brightly, casting a golden glow on everything it touched. The forest was alive with activity, and the werewolves were no exception. Some moved in directions known, while others went in directions unknown.Damon had taken advantage of the fact that the alpha had given him an extended break so “you could fully rest your muscles for what lay ahead,” as he put it. Even if he had no idea what the alpha meant by what he said, he was grateful that he had the opportunity of a tiime off. He had decided to engage in some exercises. He had gone to the gymn before anyone else got there, lifting weights and doing squats. His muscles were bulging, and he was sweating profusely. He was so focused on his workout that he didn’t notice Tudd walking in.Tudd was a new werewolf in the pack, and he was still getting used to his new life. He was amazed at Damon’s stren

“This should never have happened?,” Damon said, as he quickly got up and dressed into his clothes.“We both wanted it,” she said in a seductive manner.“And this is the last of it,” he said, looking at her.“You know, yoy remind me of the first time we had sex,” she continued, smiling. “You set my heart on fire, and I have never recovered from it.”“Yet you chose Jack over me.”“Jack is dead, Damon,” she reminded him.“It doesn't matter!,” he snapped at her. “He was my friend, yet you chose him over me. You made me look like a fool, like I didn't matter.”“I'm sorry,” she said.“What does he want from you?,” he suddenly asked.“Who do you speak of?”“The alpha, what does he want from you?”“Nothing”“Yet he slept with you?. Come on, Emily, you have never been a good liar. You cannot tell me that…”“He didn't sleep with me, I swear it!,” she said, cutting him short. “Fine, he wants me in bed with him, but I'm not a coward.”“I should have known you were never going to tell me the truth

Fidelis had been feeling restless all day. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off.“What's wrong?,” Emily asked him, having taken note of his countenance.“I have absolutely no idea what it is that troubles me,” he admitted.“Maybe you should rest some more,” she advised. “I'm sure you'll be alright when you wake up.”But he knew that whatever got him looking so restless had nothing to do with a lack of rest. Still confused, he decided to hit the gym to blow off some steam. Maybe his body needed a lift.“I should have it all figured out when I return,” he said to her.As he walked into the gym, he was greeted by the presence of a stranger, who exercised with such intensity. Even though he had been away for a few weeks, he knew his face didn't look familiar. He had never seen him at the gym before, and he was taken aback by the sight of him, but he quickly regained his composure.He walked up to him, ready to have a conversation. “Hey,” he began. “You don't look famil
