"Intruder!" the Fae girl yells.She sounds like a pissed off mobster, which is really weird.But I don't have time to think about the strangeness of it all, because at that moment, dozens of Faeries fly towards us like missiles.Instinctively, I guide Anna behind me."We mean no harm," I cry out."A petite, blonde-haired Faerie flies at us with alarming speed. I manage to grab hold of her, but she looks at me furiously and whips her long, pointed ears towards my neck. She digs her sharp fingernails into my shoulders as she tries to tear out my throat."Ouch!"My cry of pain blends with Anna's shocked cry.Out of nowhere, the ground begins to crumble beneath us. We tumble over the steep embankment and fall down, down, down into a pit of black, inky darkness.As we land with a thud at the bottom, I realize that my shoulder is bleeding profusely from the Faerie's attack. I look around in panic. Is Anna hurt?But thankfully, she was right next to me and appeared to be fine.Anna looks aro
Anna looks at me, her eyes filled with determination. "We have to help them, Adrian. We can't let these evil creatures harm these Faeries."I nod in agreement, and we quietly devise a plan. We'll use our werewolf abilities to our advantage. I'll create a diversion to draw the attention of the Dark Fae away from the vulnerable group, while Anna will lead the women and children to safety.I take a deep breath and prepare to shift into my wolf form. As I do, my body undergoes a transformation, and I feel the surge of power coursing through me.I give Anna a reassuring nod, and she silently guides the terrified group away from the danger zone. Then, with a swift and silent motion, I burst out from behind the pillar, my wolf form charging at the Dark Fae.The element of surprise is on my side, and the Dark Fae warriors are momentarily taken aback. I use my agility and strength to disarm and incapacitate them, ensuring they can't harm anyone.I identify the leader and charge at him but his
The new information I acquired from the Faeland both amazed and shocked my parents.My mother looks at me thoughtfully. "It does make sense as to why I posses the special blood to heal wounds," she says.I nod, my mind still trying to process everything. "It seems like Fae blood runs in our family, Mom. But why didn't you ever tell me about it?"My father chimes in. "Your mother and I had no idea."My mother reaches out and places a hand on my cheek. "We love you, Adrian. I wouldn't hide something like this on purpose.""I understand, Mom, Dad. But now that I know, I want to learn more about this Fae power within me. I want to use it for good, just like I did in Faerieland today."My parents exchange glances, and my father finally nods. "You're right, Adrian. There has to be a way to harness your hidden powers.""By the way, how was your date? Do you love Anna yet?" my sister chimes in.I chuckle at my sister's question, which comes out of nowhere in the midst of this serious conversa
****Author note: This epilogue is written in the third person point of view so every character can be involved.**** Six year later... It is time. Alpha Xavier decides it is time to end his leadership and hand over the title to his older son, Adrian. The weight of leadership had rested heavily on his shoulders for many years, and now, he felt the time had come to pass the mantle to the next generation. "Are you sure he is ready for this?" Sylvia asks. He looks at his Luna and smiles fondly. She had been by his side through thick and thin and he trusted her advice. "Of course, my love. Our son is more than capable of leading this pack," Alpha Xavier reassures her. Sylvia sighs. "I trust your decision. And yes, you are right. Adrian is capable. And Anna is excellent as his Luna," she says with a smile on her face. "We raised our children well, don't you think?" Alpha Xavier smiles. "Yes, we did." With a heavy heart, Alpha Xavier calls for a meeting with all the pack members. The
I am running down the long corridor of the mansion, my heart pounding in my chest as I try to catch my breath. The sound of my footsteps echoes off the walls, and I can feel the sweat dripping down my forehead.I have tried to keep it quiet in the past, but I don't care anymore. I can't let him get me.Alpha Xavier.The Alpha of the Silverblade pack takes no nonsense or disobedience. If he knows I'm the one they are after, there will be no doubt I will be sent away to the place I never want to be back again, even if I'm just a nobody to him.Or worse, I will be punished severely for trying to outsmart him.It was stupid of me to think that I could hide in this pack without being noticed and that I could pretend to be some random refugee rogue to be offered a random job for serving the pack.If he knows I have been avoiding him deliberately in the last two months, especially when he was already looking for me, I'll be doomed. I can't be put into the dungeon. No way.Because I know how
Two months ago."You two, go check that way!" The man says roughly from across the road, sending his men the other way."Oh lord, it's all my fault! I should have just gone with her!" The old lady cries, making my heart ache. "How could I not know she was running away? She said she was scared of him, but I didn't take it seriously! The Alpha and his Luna will never forgive me!"The night I finally decide to run away, it is enveloped in an eerie darkness. It is raining heavily outside, and clouds swirl menacingly in the sky.My clothes are soaking wet, but I do not care. I need to leave this place as fast as I can. I race desperately through the woods, my heart pounding with fear. My long, raven-black hair clings to my drenched face, partially hiding my tear-streaked cheeks. I can hear my previous pack members shouting as they hunt for me.With adrenaline coursing through my veins, I push forward, not knowing where I am going.I keep running until I find a hidden cave and take shelter
Who could've thought I would be much happier as a maid in a stranger's pack than living in my own?But here I am, another week later, singing my favorite tune while doing laundry.Don't get me wrong, my new life isn't completely worry-free as Alpha Gabriel's men are still out there, looking for me. I've taken special precautions to hide my identity here. I dyed my hair red to hide my raven black hair and used special herbs to suppress my wolf and its scent. So hopefully, I never get caught.Rosemary's voice breaks through my thoughts. "Sylvia, I have another batch of clothes for you!" she calls out as soon as she enters the laundry room.I smile and nod, acknowledging her request. "I will start on them as soon as I finish this load," I respond politely.Rosemary looks at me admiringly. "You've been working quite hard since you got here. I ought to recommend you to be promoted."I feel a flutter of anxiety. "I mean... I am truly grateful for your kind words, but I am quite happy here,
I noticed something while I worked in this pack house. I noticed that the other maids had been watching me from a distance. But none of them seemed to be interested in talking to me.It is probably for the best, but I feel kind of lonely. It has been a long time since I had a friend my age. And then, one day, I heard them whispering about me."She looks too good to be working in here," one said. "Almost too pretty," another said. "God, I hope she doesn't try to steal our men away," a girl with red hair giggles at her own joke.I can't help but roll my eyes. Are they seriously talking about me like this?The truth is, I'm not actually that beautiful in comparison to the other maids. But they seem to be hating on the fact that Rosemary, the head maid, praises me a lot. I can't deny that her compliments have made me feel better about myself and my purpose in this house. She's always been kind to me since I first started working here, and she makes sure that all of us are treated fairly
