Chapter 75: LUCAS RETURNS TO BLACKWATER PACK

LUCAS.

I walked into Blackwater Pack with a heavy heart, knowing I needed to report back to Alpha Damon. I couldn't find any clues about what happened to Catherine's parents. Knocking on his office door, I entered when he called out for me to come in.

"Alpha Damon," I greeted

"Lucas, you're back."

"Yes Alpha"

Alpha Damon looked up from his desk, his gaze meeting mine with concern.

"What did you find, Lucas?" he asked, his voice steady.

"I've been trying to get information from the elders at Skylight Pack, but they've been silent and warned me not to get involved," I explained, frustration creeping into my voice.

Alpha Damon leaned forward, his expression reflecting his concern. "I see. It's a sensitive matter, Lucas. And I think something is threatening them.

"Catherine deserves to know the truth, Alpha," I said earnestly.

"I understand your sentiment, Lucas, but we must tread carefully. We don't want to cause any conflict between the packs," Alpha Damon cautioned, his tone measured.

"What is the next plan, Alpha?" I asked.

"We found Catherine's mother, and she's here with us; that should be enough for now. We will dig further into it later."

"Oh! That's good news; I'm glad her mom is safe," I said.

"So Lucas, have you decided if you want to be in my pack or if you want to go back to the Skylight Pack? Alpha Damon asked

"I'd rather serve in this pack, Alpha; my loyalty is with you," I said as I bowed. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Alright, then Lucas, continue your duties here at Blackwater Pack," he instructed.

"Thank you, Alpha Damon. I won't let you down," I said gratefully, feeling a renewed sense of purpose.

FAYE

When Lucas returned from Skylight Pack, I was overjoyed to have him back. We spent the entire day together, relishing each other's company and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. We shifted into our wolf forms and ran through the woods, feeling the exhilarating rush of freedom as the wind whipped through our fur.

As we ran side by side, the worries of the world seemed to melt away, and laughter bubbled up from within me.

"I've missed this, Lucas! Just being out here with you, feeling the wind in my fur," I exclaimed, a wide smile spreading across my face.

Lucas, matching my enthusiasm, replied, "Me too, Faye! There's nothing like running through the woods with you by my side."

We continued our playful romp through the forest, the sun casting a warm glow over the trees. The scent of pine and earth filled the air, and for a while, it was just the two of us, lost in the simple joy of being together.

As we slowed to a stop in a sun-dappled clearing, I nudged Lucas with my nose, a mischievous glint in my eyes.

"Race you to the old oak tree!" I was challenged, excitement coursing through me.

Lucas laughed and wagged his tail, his eyes sparkling with merriment.

"You're on! But you know I'm going to win," he teased, his competitive spirit shining through.

With a playful bark, I took off, my paws pounding against the earth as I raced toward the towering oak tree in the distance. Lucas was hot on my heels, his laughter mingling with mine as we sprinted through the woods.

Reaching the tree at the same time, we both collapsed in a heap of laughter, our sides heaving as we caught our breath. "Tie!" I declared, grinning from ear to ear.

"Agreed! You're a formidable opponent, Faye," Lucas praised, his eyes alight with admiration.

"Remember the time we first went for a run?" Lucas asked, breaking the silence as we gazed at the clear, starlit sky.

I turned to him, a smile tugging at the corners of my mouth. "Of course I do! You were so determined to show off your hunting skills, but you ended up chasing your tail instead," I teased, a playful glint in my eyes.

Lucas chuckled, the sound filling the air with warmth. "Hey, I was just trying to impress you," he said, his tone light and teasing.

"I was already impressed by your enthusiasm," I replied, reaching over to nudge him gently.

We laughed together as the leaves rustled, making a beautiful sound that seemed to reflect our bond. Lying next to each other, our problems seemed less important, and we just enjoyed a peaceful time together.

"Sometimes I wish we could stay like this forever," Lucas murmured, his voice tinged with a hint of longing.

I turned to him, my gaze meeting his with understanding.

"I know what you mean. But no matter what happens, we'll always have these moments to cherish," I reassured him.

We remained there by the stream, our quiet conversation punctuated by the occasional rustle of leaves and the gentle murmur of the water. In those simple, unguarded moments, we found a sense of peace and understanding that bound us together in a way words could never capture.

As the night deepened, we finally rose to our feet, ready to return to the pack grounds. The moon bathed the woods in a soft, silvery light, casting a serene glow over everything around us.

"Thank you for today, Lucas. It's been perfect," I said, gratitude filling my voice.

"Thank you for being you, Faye. I wouldn't trade this day for anything," Lucas replied, sincerely coloring his words.

As we returned to the pack house, I felt happy. The moon shone, and I knew something special had happened. Lucas and I looked at each other and then went to our rooms.

In my room, I thought about the night and got ready for bed. It felt nice to remember everything that happened. I lay down, feeling peaceful, and closed my eyes.

Suddenly, a loud howl broke the silence. It was a call for help from someone in our pack. I got worried and went to the window. Outside, I saw our pack members gather urgently. Something was wrong.

I quickly dressed and went to join the others. I saw Lucas, and we both knew that something serious had happened. Alpha Damon started talking, and I felt scared.

"What happened?" I asked Melissa when I got to the square.

"We're under attack."
