LOGINThe scarred man's room was cold and dark, with only one window, which was covered with neatly arranged bricks whenever he wasn't at home. Xer didn't mind, since being in cold, dark places was something he was already used to.When he was taken in by the scarred man, he had been locked inside a dark cell with a tiny window—barely large enough for air to pass through.Though he didn't mind the darkness, if he was going to complete what he came here for, then staying in the dark was not an option.He moved stealthily across the room, his hands tracing the stone wall until they found a candle resting in a small holder.Pulling out a piece of flint and steel, he struck them together a few times. Tiny sparks leaped onto the wick, and after gently blowing on it, the candle flickered to life.Once that was settled, he began searching frantically around the room, checking drawer after drawer and the small cupboard tucked into the corner.What was he searching for?He didn't know.All he knew w
Aria blinked slowly as she looked around, her brows drawing together in confusion. White mist surrounded her from every direction, so thick she couldn't see more than a few feet ahead. It stretched endlessly, hiding everything beyond it. There was no sky, no trees, no familiar scent— just silence. An unsettling, unnatural silence in the cold white environment.She turned slowly, her eyes scanning the endless fog, hoping to find something that made sense. Anything. But there was nothing.Her heartbeat picked up as unease settled in her chest."Where... am I?" she murmured to herself, her voice barely above a whisper. The words echoed back at her before fading into the mist."Help!!" she has a soft, low and muffled sound, echoing from a distance.She turned around abruptly trying to trace where the sound came from."Did someone say something?" she asked, in a loud whisper.But no response came. Just the sound of her voice echoing back at her.She frowned as s result, nibbling on her low
"Kael?!" Mariella muttered, then gasped, clasping a hand over her mouth as she took two steps back."Kael?!" she called again, her pupils dilating in shock. "What are you doing here?"Lynn took five steps away from them when Kael glanced up at her."Do I need a reason to walk around my pack?" he answered, slightly raising a brow."But still..." she pressed her lips into a thin line. "This is the Left Wing Pack.""Doesn't change the fact that it's my pack. I have every right to be here," he mumbled, then scrunched his nose, his brows furrowing together as he stared at the stain on his clothes.Mariella wondered what had made his expression change so abruptly. Following his line of sight, only then did she remember what she had done.She gasped again. "Oh no, I'm so sorry about that. Oh my gawd," she muttered, trying to use the sleeve of her gown to clean it up.Just as she closed the gap between them so she could wipe the stain off, Kael moved back hastily, putting about three steps of
Two days afterThe throne room- hall of assembly was filled with all the elders whose whispers and murmurs circulated the entire hall.This was their first reasonable meeting and gathering since Aria was poisoned and thanks to her recovery, they were finally able to gather today— though not because if pack affairs.The grand door pushed open and just like their very last meeting, Aria and Cain walked in together— in their purple regalia embroidered with silver threads, taking one slow step at a time.The whispers stopped and all head went down as they walked towards the throne.Aria's butt length hair was let down, adorned with silver hair clips, pins and several other ornament. She used a deeper shade of rogue which gave her a dangerous look along side the blank expression she gave.Shortly after, they settled side by side on the throne, the door pushed open again and this time- Maida dressed in a plain white gown, face slightly paled and red in fury didn't or rather couldn't hide he
Maida paced around the dimly lit room, where only two candles were fixed to the walls and a burning torch crackled near the entrance. Their flickering flames danced across the stone walls, casting long shadows that stretched and twisted around the room.The warmth from the torch fought against the coldness, but it wasn't enough to make the place comfortable.Nothing could make this place comfortable.After several restless laps around the room, Maida let out a frustrated groan and dropped onto the small bed pushed against the wall. The mattress creaked beneath her weight. She dug her fingers into her hair and scratched her scalp vigorously, her face twisted with irritation."Why isn't Cain coming?" she muttered for what felt like the hundredth time. "I can't be locked up here forever.""You have been saying that for weeks now, but has it gotten you anywhere?" Elder Gavin said from the opposite cell, which was separated from hers by an iron gate."I want to get out of here. I can't sta
"Aria, stop. You just got better and so you should be resting and certainly not moving around." Cain tried to convince Aria for the hundredth time as he kept following her around the whole room while she tried to dress well.Immediately after they had broken the kiss and stared into each others eyes loving, with happiness, so much spark between them and a smile which Aria replaced moments later with a smirk before saying that she had to visit her favourite enemy, Cain had done nothing more than trying to stop her."Don't try to stop my babe. You know what going to make me feel so energetic and alive is the surprise look on her face when she sees me. Damn!!" she exclaimed facing him. "The thought is fueling me up.""You can always do that some other time— like tomorrow for instance." he suggested."No can't do. Tomorrow will be too late because she would have already heard the news that I'm healthy and alive. Moreover, I will love to see my brother." she mumbled, as she finished applyi
"Master, here is the letter!" Xer handed the letter over to the scarred man, who had his back turned against him.They were in their hideout, hiding deep into the forest, between several thick line of tress making it go unnoticable by people who wander about.Only a small fire torch, burning bright
The scream shattered the quiet of dawn.It spread through the pack like wildfire—fear, disbelief, panic tangling into one suffocating wave. Wolves poured into the courtyard from every direction, half-dressed, weapons hastily grabbed, eyes wild as they followed the trail of terror toward the General
Beta Thorne moved quietly through the pack grounds, the night breeze brushing against his skin as he walked with unhurried steps. Sleep had refused to come, his mind restless, senses alert. The moon hung high above, casting silver shadows along the paths he knew too well.He inhaled deeply, letting
Aria sat on the low stone bench near the inner courtyard, sunlight spilling through the open space above. A gentle breeze tugged at the hem of her dress as she flipped through a bundle of herbs she had offered to sort for Lady Mana earlier, though her mind was clearly elsewhere.Lynn burst into the
