LAUREN'S POV "Luna, am sorry for being part of this mess," he said to me.As I looked at Hunter with a blank expression, I couldn't help but feel a sense of uncertainty. I didn't know what else to say to him after everything that had happened. "It's alright Hunter, it's not entirely your fault," I said to him reassuringly, "you only followed your alpha's orders to keep his secret for him and I understand." His words were comforting, but I still felt a sense of guilt weighing on him.However, Hunter didn't stop there. He continued, "But I have a question for you as a friend." I said to him and His expression changed, and I could tell he was a little scared, I saw the panic in his eyes, and it made me wonder what he was going to ask me. "Are you leaving the pack?" he asked me."Yeah, Hunter." I said to him and he looked down defeatedly, I saw the sadness in his eyes.""Hunter, you are the beta of the pack," I heard myself say, "what do you suggest I do in the situation I am in?" I aske
LAUREN'S P0V As I walked towards the main hall of the pack, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and unease. The hall was where almost every pack member gathered to discuss important matters and decisions, and I knew that my presence would attract a lot of attention.I made sure to enter the hall late, wanting to make an impact with my arrival. As I walked in, I could feel every pair of eyes in the hall on me. The room was silent, with only the faint sound of shuffling feet and rustling clothing as the pack members stood up in acknowledgement of my presence.I felt a rush of pride and responsibility wash over me as I walked towards the front of the room. I knew that as the leader of the pack, it was my duty to set an example for the rest of the pack members to follow.The feeling of belonging is one of the most powerful emotions we can experience as humans. The same goes for werewolves, who thrive in packs. They find comfort and security in the company of their fellow pac
LAUREN'S P0V I observed Sandra's embarrassed expression and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. She had always been arrogant towards me, but now the tables had turned, and she was the one feeling uncomfortable. Without hesitation, I called a nearby guard to help her find a seat at the front.As Sandra made her way to the front row she shot me a warning look. "You might think you've won this time, Lauren, I would watch my back if I were you," she warned me.With a chuckle, I said, "Sweetie, you don't need to bother. I deal with people like you every day, always looking over my shoulder." My response seemed to catch her off guard, and her expression quickly shifted to anger, She didn't like being challenged, especially by someone who she thought she can intimidate. I couldn't help but laugh at the sudden change in her mood.I've always had respect for myself, but from that moment on, I felt ready to confront anyone who tried to mess with me. It's important to stand up for
LAUREN'S POV The scene was tense as my mate stood in front of the pack members. I watched from the side, ready to jump in and help him stand if needed. But to my surprise, he stood boldly upright as the true alpha that he was. Despite his frail state, he held his head high and his voice was commanding."It is an honour to have you all here," he began, addressing the pack members. "I want to express my gratitude to every one of you for standing by my beta and my mate during my time in the hospital following the attack on our pack. Your unwavering support and loyalty have not gone unnoticed."I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride swell within me as I watched my mate carry himself with such grace and dignity. Despite his struggles, he was still able to put the needs of the pack first and lead them with confidence.He went on to express his condolences to the families of the fallen warriors, his words carrying a weight of sorrow and respect. The pack members listened in silence, thei
LAUREN'S POV The tension in the air was palpable as Sandra's facade of composure shattered into a million pieces, revealing the manipulative core beneath. Her once haughty demeanour dissolved into a desperate display of feigned vulnerability, her tears a calculated ploy to elicit sympathy from those around her. But amidst her cries, there was a sense of dissonance, a subtle discordance that hinted at the insincerity of her anguish."Alpha," she wailed, her voice piercing the silence of the hall, "this woman has poisoned your mind against me! How could you believe her lies over my truth?" Each word dripped with accusation, her gaze locking onto my mate with a mix of desperation and defiance.But Alpha's response was swift, his eyes ablaze with a righteous anger that matched the intensity of Sandra's outburst. "Sandra," he growled, his voice cutting through the chaos, "don't think for a moment that I don't know the truth. Don't make me reveal to the pack the extent of your betrayal."T
LAUREN'S POV As I walked with the alpha to his office, I couldn't help but notice a stark difference in his demeanor. He seemed weak and frail, a far cry from the powerful leader who just moments ago had addressed the pack with such authority.When we finally arrived at his office, he sat down heavily in his big chair and closed his eyes. I could tell he was in pain, and I couldn't help but worry about his well-being."You don't look good," I said to him, concern etched on my face.He nodded, confirming my fears. "Yes, Doctor Luise will be here soon to check up on me," he replied, his voice heavy with fatigue.I couldn't help but feel a small pang of guilt when I remembered that he had only just been released from the hospital. "You shouldn't have come out of the hospital so soon," I said to him, unable to keep the reproach out of my voice.He opened his eyes and a small smile played at the corner of his lips. "I know, but I cant continue to see you get hurt. So, I did the right thin
“Fine, Lauren, you win!”The teen warrior who was older than me cried, “Seriously, why are you so strong? You are only 7!”“No. You are too weak. A good warrior in my father’s pack should be as strong as I am.”I knew what I said was not exactly true. He is full of potential and expected to be the strongest warrior in the future.It was a serious battle which is normal among wolves.“Another victory isn’t it? my little cupcake. Congratulations!”It’s my mother’s voice.My father came, too. He hugged me, “Today is our little warrior’s birthday, remember?

LAUREN'S POV Sitting on the towel I've laid by the river of a deep forest close to my pack, my hideout the place I consider my paradise.This is the only place I can be myself without the fear that someone will find out my true identity. I like to spend my quiet time by the river in the forest, not too far from my pack. I often visit the beautiful forest to clear my head from the day's stress. The thought of a dream I had a day before crossed my mind, the moon goddess appeared to me again."My child, it is time."Her message to me was clear, but I asked still, “Am I prepared?”Am I prepared to take back my father's throne from the traitor, who killed my parents and took over our pack?It was just one sentence. She smiled at me and then vanished.The first time she appeared to me, I was just thirteen years after I first shifted into my wolf form. The day I met my companion and my wolf Jada. “She’s gone, Lauren.” Jada said and then added, “She’s so incomparably beautiful.”“Beautiful
