However, Naomi refuses to be a pawn in someone else's game. With confidence in her heart, she sets off on a journey of self-discovery and redemption.

With each step, she inches closer to the truth about her past and the power within her. But when dark secrets come to light and alliances shift, Naomi must summon all her strength to confront her greatest adversaries. With the fate of her pack at stake, she must choose: embrace the path of revenge or forge a new destiny of love and forgiveness. Prepare to be swept away into a world where loyalty is tested, betrayals run deep, and redemption is difficult to achieve.
View MoreThat was it for me. I had finally taken enough from him.“Don't insult my father.” I told him with a resigned voice.“I'm just saying. You need to make your findings because war isn't a pleasant thing, okay?”“Have you been speaking to Mascot as well?”“Well it doesn't matter, he's been my friend for such a long time, we just fell off because of this matter..”“You shouldn't be listening to Mascot.” I shouted at him. “Mascot is jealous of you.”“It doesn't matter.” He said, paused and then asked. “Can I be the commander in chief of this army we are building?”It was a weird question coming from Thorne even though I knew him as a greedy person. Why would he want to take such a significant position just suddenly?“Is this also the handwork of Mascot? Did he put you up to this?” I inquired from him.“No one put me up to anything. I want to know if I can do that? I want to hear from you so I know I'm not wasting my time.with you.”“Where's all this coming from? Two days ago, we were good.
I stood there watching my best friend walk away. It was heartbreaking seeing this scene play out in front of me. She walked out of me and didn't even look backwards.I bent my head downwards wondering what exactly was happening. This was the time to talk to Thorne. I hope he would listen to me even though we were having a little problem.The goal was to finally get the Alpha's blessings and permission from him, allowing us to use his warriors for the war against Ice crest.That was why Mascot was here, they had come to use their cunning tactics to get the clan with the strongest warriors on their side but I was grateful I had told the Alpha first. He had told me to resolve the issue and difference we have, since we are supposed to be together fighting this.I understood what he was trying to say but my only issue is that Laura was out of the group. I didn't know how to convince her or make her believe me about Mascot, a liar and thief.My mother must have heard my voice when I spoke t
“I'm sorry.” Laura stuttered again. “I wanted to ask you.. I mean..” She turned to me with a fake smile. “I mean.. it's no big deal but can I ask you some questions?”“Go on.” I was expecting this.“I'm sorry but how do you know that Lucas is the bad guy in your story?”“I don't understand.” I told her then she turned to face me properly, she was literally glaring at me.“What made you think Lucas is actually a bad guy?” She asked again, this time carefully.I decided to give her honest answers. I wanted to fight for my friend too just like Mascot was trying to turn her against me.“Well, he killed my father. You heard when Orion, the soulshifter said it.“What if he was wrong?”“Orion, wrong? How could he be wrong? He is a soulshifter.” I said. “After all, you fell for him, huh?” I teased her and expected a shy smile but she gave me nothing.“I know but that's in the past. I have been thinking lately that maybe people that told you about Lucas lied to you.”“Why do you say so? Have
Was Laura really under a spell?I didn't want her to know that I had seen her with Mascot or she would get upset that I was invading her privacy so I hid at the corner and watched everything that went on with them.“We could go back to how we were.” Mascot continued. Laura turned away her face but using his hands, he made her face him. “Listen to me, don't you see? This is all the plan of Naomi. She wanted to get us separated and then made me look like the enemy.” Mascot said.It was obvious that Laura was falling for his misleading words. “What did she want?”Love? Attention? Was she that desperate?“I need you to listen to me, listen carefully. Naomi is the enemy and not me. Not me.”“But you're working with Lucas and he is evil.” Laura retorted and I smiled. She was still in control after all.Mascot came closer, reaching out to hold her hands. She moved a step backwards but that was it. She was totally helpless in front of him. “Who said Lucas was evil? You only listen to what N
“Yes, my lord.”“Mascot is actually against us and is plotting with a rival park to destroy us. I don't trust him at all.” I said, speaking for everyone.“I trust you because ever since you came to this land, you have brought us good tidings. The healing ointment was made by you and it has been helpful to us all and I'm grateful to you.”“Trust me, my lord. I won't take this gesture for granted. I promise if you grant us access to your warriors I'll make you proud and you wouldn't regret it at all.”“So Mascot is the enemy right?” He asked.“Yes..” I was interrupted by the outburst of Laura.“No. He'll change. He is not the enemy. Please my lord, I promise to talk to him, please do not let any havoc come to him. I promise I'll make him change his mind.” Laura bowed and ran out of the throne room leaving us all in shock.“She seems to have not gotten over him.” The Alpha noticed.“I didn't know she still had feelings for him. I promise I'll make this better and I'll get back to you.”
The next morning was a quick one. We packed up the tents and in a jiffy we were already on our way to Stormclaw.“I think horses will make our journey faster.” Thorne suggested as we walked down the valley.We had woken up from sleep but didn't see him so we waited. He came back later on to say that he had to look around the territory.“Where can we find horses?” I asked.“I know a place, not very far from here.” “Alright.” I said.Everyone was cold, Thorne was in his usual quiet mood, Laura, not quite in the mood for jokes and then my mother walking slowly and getting tired easily. No one was in the mood for chit chat just like we usually do.This has gotten harder and harder for us these days and I don't even know how to face it.Thorne led us to a little village that I didn't know even existed. As we waited by the well, taking clean water, he spoke to some men so they could give us some horses to make our journey easier and faster.I was still scared of riding a horse and even th
As we walked, I prayed we would get to Stormclaw faster because at this point, we were all exhausted.“Did you see something? You looked devastated when you came back.” My mother urged me to talk to him.I didn't want to say anything so as not to trigger any emotions, Laura had left because of Mascot so I had to wait when we were resting.Laura was staring blankly at the water bank while we put up our tent at a hidden corner of the forest. I had made sure the tent was hidden because I didn't want to be attacked by Mascot and his team.“Laura looks so distant. What did you guys see at that hut?” My mother asked again.“Mum, we saw her Fiancé, someone who promised her marriage but bailed. Instead he came after me and I can't honestly explain why.” I explained to my mother in low tones. Thorne was packing some firewood we would use to make a fire during the night.“Her Fiancé likes you?”“Not just that, he proposed to me.”“What?!”“Because I said no, he turned to my enemy and started wo
“I wonder.” Laura replied. “This is strange, why haven't I seen this hut here before even when we've come so many times.”“Yes, I remember us going through this route. Why didn't I see this hut?”We went further, but as we kept going, it seemed that the hut which was supposed to be small, kept leading us deeper into it.“What's happening?” I asked, desperately looking around and confused at what was happening. The hut was becoming longer and longer leading us to further routes.“Isn't this a hut?” I asked, doubting if I actually saw a hut or maybe it was my eyes playing tricks on me.“It is.” Laura answered. “I'm sure we all entered a hut.”“Let's not go deeper, afterall we are waiting for the rain to stop. Going deeper means that we are getting distracted from where we are going.”“I agree with him.” My mother said. She was already shaking and I knew she was scared.“How can we stay here and not know where we are?” I asked, encouraging the fact that we should work around at least an
“Mum, are you serious about this?” I turned to my mother. “I don't want you to feel pressured in any way. Not at all.”“Of course, I am. This is a decision that I should have made a long time ago. I am finally taking that courageous step.”“Isabella. This is not the time for sentiments. Your daughter is obviously out of context and instead of you calling her back, you prefer to watch her and even join her in this madness?”“Don't call this Madness.” My mother turned fiercely at him. “You can stay here like a scaredy cat while I finally take the step to my redemption.”“Luna Isabella, are you sure this is what you want to do?” Luna Rachel asked. Her face gave signs of worrying. She truly cared about our well being unlike the Alpha who cared about what his evil brother thought.“I know it's sudden and no one was expecting it but I can't keep living like a servant here, like a visitor when I have my own home, a place where I belong to.” She paused. “A place where I wouldn't beg for atten
