Chapter 32: Manga's Desperate Escape. Annatoria rolled from one side of her bed to the other. She couldn't sleep and now, Chingu Moon was in her arms. “What do you want, little buddy?" She said softly fondled it's fur. It made the normal cute sounds every dog made and that seemed to annoy her. "Let's go to sleep then,” She said, patting it's back. "Prepare your army. He's coming” The dog finally said something just as it was about to sleep. She stiffened. What did it mean? Of course, it was no one different from Manga. She had a feeling that they were coming but, she didn't want to rush. She wanted to take her time to reason and think about it…..to avoid total defeat. When it was daybreak, she summoned a meeting with those she'd appointed as head of army, head of Weapons storage, head of war strategies, the five elders of the pack and Asher. “How many army does this pack have now?" She asked Alaric, the head of Army. He was a tall, and muscular young man with a face and hea

Chapter 33: Secrets from the deep. No one could pretend forever.A lie, no matter how well-crafted, would always crack under the weight of truth. Some took months, others years—but eventually, the mask would slip. It could not last longer than destined. The old bald wizard, wrapped in a thick black cloak, moved slowly toward the Ember Wolves' Pack. His beard, long and white, swayed slightly as the wind carried whispers of an ancient past. His journey had been long, his feet weary, but his purpose was unwavering….. delivering the message.He sought the Alpha, but for what? What message? As he reached the pack’s entrance, the guards stiffened. Their hands hovered over their weapons, eyes narrowed in suspicion as they scanned him. He carried no visible threat, yet something about him made their wolves restless.“I seek the Alpha—Alpha Radolf of this pack,” the man declared in a voice that cut through the air like steel.The guards exchanged glances. Was this an attack? A test? A chall

Chapter Title: Radolf! The Moment That Almost Was intense….Asher’s wolf howled in his mind.“ Kiss her. I want her” For the first time in a long time, Asher didn’t fight it. He took a slow step forward, his pulse quickening as he neared her. Annatoria turned, her eyes meeting his, and for a split second, something unreadable flickered across her face.Was it longing? Uncertainty?His fingers twitched at his sides. He wanted to close the space between them, tilt her chin up, and-Boom! The doors flung open."Alpha Asher! Miss Annatoria!" Axel’s voice rang out, breathless, urgent. His eyes were wide, his usual composed demeanor shattered by whatever he had just seen but at that moment, he wasn't really concerned. .Annatoria stepped back instantly, the atmosphere between her and Asher snapping like a fragile thread.“What happened?” she asked, already on edge as she waited for his response..Axel swallowed hard. "The search team found a body. We’re heading there now.”The tension in

Chapter 38: He knows her weakpoint. Ever since Radolf returned to his pack, his mind kept echoing her name. “Annatoria".....His mind travelled to that minute he saw her walk towards the podium to receive her award, the smile on her face. The way she carried herself—graceful yet powerful—made his chest tighten. He had spent years convincing himself he didn't need her, that she was better off gone. But now, watching her from afar, he felt the weight of his own mistakes pressing down on him.Radolf clenched his fists. Why now? Why is she haunting me when I was the one who let her go?The cheers of the crowd faded into a dull hum as he fixated on her. Annatoria looked…different. Stronger. More radiant. And worst of all, completely untouched by the pain he had caused.He should have been proud. Instead, he felt something dangerously close to regret as his mind travelled back to the words of that wizard. “Ask for forgiveness".He had a feeling that he was going to get her back….he was go

Chapter 40: The Quest For TruthThis day was totally different from every other day. It was different as Loreen could sight her misery coming close to her. She could sense her destruction and doom, coming closer to her. She felt helpless, weak, and insecure.A day hardly passed by without fear gripping her heart. It wasn't what she'd signed up for and now, she was to be thrown down into the dark and endless pit that her jealousy was pushing her into. She knew Radolf had been suspecting her and the more she tried to act normal, the more suspicious she seemed. It was obvious to the pack members that something was wrong. Candace knew something was up as well but of course, she had no idea about it. Loreen got dressed and didn't even wait for breakfast before she grabbed the keys of her latest Lamborghoni X550R. She had everything she wanted but, she was already losing it. All she gathered was slipping away from her hands. She was to attend an important meeting with fellow Lunas.
