I left the dining hall feeling quite relieved. The meal was quite sumptuous, but I could only manage to eat a small portion of it. My thoughts were preoccupied with Elsa and the strange occurrence in her room. I could not wait to get back to my room and sort out my thoughts.As I walked through the hallway, I could feel the coldness of the castle seep into my bones. It was always chilly, but today it felt particularly frigid. I wrapped my fur shawl around me tightly, trying to preserve as much heat as I could.The corridors were empty, and I could hear the echo of my footsteps with each stride. It was almost as if the entire castle was in a state of slumber. The only sounds were the creaking of the doors and the hushed whispers of the guards.I made my way up the spiral staircase that led to my room. The staircase was narrow, and I had to take each step cautiously. At the top, I stopped to catch my breath, leaning against the wall. The castle's height always left me a bit lightheaded,

Elsa's POVNia looked at me with a concerned expression, "What's wrong Elsa? Why do you want to leave? You can tell me anything."I tried to speak, but my words came out in a stutter, "I...I... I can't stay here any longer."Nia placed a comforting hand on my shoulder and led me to the bed. "Just take a deep breath and calm down. Tell me what's wrong."I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself down, but I couldn't shake the fear that was gripping me. "I...I'm scared. I can't be here anymore."Nia's embrace didn't do much to ease my fear. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see the Alpha's face, hear his voice, and feel his hands on my skin. The memory of his attempted assault made me shiver with fear."I know it's scary, Elsa, but you don't have to be afraid. The King won't let anything happen to you," Nia said, trying to reassure me.But her words fell on deaf ears. I couldn't help but feel that I was in danger, that something bad was going to happen to me.Nia sat with me for hours,

ELSA'S POV.I woke up to the sound of light knocking on my door. I rubbed my eyes and yawned, wondering who it could be. When I opened the door, I saw two maids standing in front of me, with smiles on their faces."Good morning, Your Highness," one of them said. "Luna Nia has ordered that you be brought to the dining room immediately. We are here to assist you."I nodded, still groggy from sleep, and let them in. They immediately set to work, bustling around my room and gathering things. One of them ran a bath for me, filling the tub with warm, fragrant water, while the other laid out clothes for me to wear.The maids were both young, with smooth, unblemished skin and bright eyes. One had long, black hair, while the other had curly, blonde hair that fell in soft ringlets around her face. They moved with practiced ease, their movements smooth and fluid.I felt my cheeks start to heat up in embarrassment. I had never been comfortable with others touching my body, and the thought of bein

ALPHA ARTHUR'S POV.I sit in the back corner of the room, my gaze wandering around the space as the Alpha drones on about Pack business. The discussion is tedious and never-ending, and my mind keeps drifting off to other things. I try my best to pay attention, but it's difficult when there are so many other things that require my attention.The room is quiet except for the sound of the Alpha's voice. It's a steady, monotone sound that makes my eyes heavy. I wish he would just hurry up and finish, but I know he won't. These meetings are always long and drawn out, filled with discussions that go on for hours.I shift in my seat, trying to get comfortable. My back aches from sitting so long, and I can feel my eyelids drooping. I've been up since before dawn, and the fatigue is starting to catch up with me.The Alpha's voice drones on, and I can feel myself starting to drift off. I try to shake myself awake, but it's no use. The monotony of the discussion has lulled me into a state of dro

As we drove through the woods, my mind was racing with anger and frustration. How could someone dare attack my pack, my family? The scent of blood wafted through the air, and I could feel my hackles rising as we got closer to the scene of the attack. I couldn't wait to get out of the car and see what had happened to me.As soon as we arrived, I stepped out of the car and took in the gruesome sight before me. The first thing that hit me was the smell of blood. It was so pungent that it made my eyes water and my stomach churned. It was the kind of smell that invaded your senses and refused to let go. It was the smell of death, of loss, of violence. The metallic scent of blood mixed with the earthy aroma of wet soil. It was a sickening combination that made me want to retch.It was as though the very air was thick with the stench of death. I could feel it in my lungs, the cold, sharp tang of it burning down my throat. The smell of blood was overpowering, and it was all I could focus on.
