DrakeZelda stood up and reached out her hand. “I will go with you,” she said softly. I nodded, and took her hand. We began to walk in silence, the air between us heavy with unspoken words. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my mind racing. I knew I needed to stop overthinking, but I could not, my mind was a jumbled mess.As we stepped inside, Zelda pulled me towards her, her eyes searching mine. “What's wrong?” she asked, her hand gently touching my face. I looked down, my heart beating so fast I thought it would burst out of my chest. “Nothing,” I said, but I knew she could see right through me. “Look me in the eyes and tell me everything is fine,” she said, her voice gentle but firm. I took a deep breath, knowing I couldn't lie to her. I looked up, my eyes meeting hers. “I can't,” I whispered, and saw the sadness wash over her face.“We are partners, Drake,” she said, her voice full of emotion. “We need to trust each other, and be honest with each other. We are in this
DrakeAs I prepared for my journey with Jake, I could feel the moonlight shining down on us. It was a full moon, and the light cast a silver glow over the landscape. It felt as though the moon was watching over us, guiding us on our way. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with the crisp night air. It was a beautiful night, and I felt a sense of peace wash over me. But it was short-lived, as I knew the danger that lay ahead. We set off, the moon shining down on us as we made our way into the unknown danger.The image of Zelda's teary eyes stayed with me as we walked, her sadness etched in my memory. For a moment, I hesitated, wondering if I should turn back. But I knew this journey was necessary, and I couldn't let my personal feelings get in the way. As we walked, I thought of everything I was leaving behind. My pack, my friends, and most importantly, Zelda. But I knew I had to do this, for the sake of everyone I cared about.Only Zelda and my beta, Marcus, knew where I was goin
Drake“Answer me!” he yelled, his voice echoing in the stillness of the night. I was rooted to the spot, my breath coming in shallow gasps. “I could not sleep, so I decided to take a stroll,” I said, my voice quivering.His voice was stern and commanding, his tone leaving no room for argument. “You are not meant to be here,” he said, his hand resting on the handle of his sword. I felt the blood rush to my head, my heart pounding in my chest. “I'm sorry,” I stammered, my voice barely a whisper. “It wasn't intentional.” Lucas's eyes narrowed, his jaw set in a hard line. “Leave now,” he said, his tone leaving no room for negotiation. I turned on my heel, fleeing from the room and trying to forget what had just happened.As I entered the room, I sank to the floor, my breath coming in short, ragged gasps. I tried to focus on calming myself, but my heart was still racing, my mind still racing with images of the encounter I had just had. My whole body was shaking, and I could feel my han
DrakeThe sudden sensation of cold water on my skin jolted me awake, and I sat up, startled and annoyed. I was about to shout in anger, but then I remembered where I was. I was no longer an Alpha, I was just a servant here. I tried to shake off the feelings of indignation, reminding myself that this was the situation I had chosen. I closed my eyes, focusing on the sound of the water dripping from my body, the feel of the cold stone beneath me. I tried to steady my breathing, to bring myself back to the present moment.“Get up, you lazy brats,” a voice said, the words sharp and cutting. I turned to see an older man standing in the doorway, a look of disgust on his face. I looked at the clock, and saw that it was six o'clock. I wanted to scream, to tell him that I had been awake all night, that I was exhausted and sleep-deprived. But I knew that would only make things worse, so I bit my tongue and forced myself to stand. I gave him a small nod, trying to keep my face impassive.I tur
Drake“Hey, you,” he said, his voice firm and commanding. I turned, confused, unsure who he was talking to. “Me?” I asked, pointing to myself. “Yes, you,” he replied, his gaze intense. I felt a flush of heat rise to my cheeks, and I tried to swallow the sudden dryness in my throat. “I need to talk to you,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. I nodded, my mind racing with questions, my heart beating wildly.As I approached him, I wondered what he wanted to say. What did Charles want with me? I held my breath, my heart pounding in my chest. As I got closer, I was visibly nervous, fidgeting with my hands. What did he want to tell me? I couldn't help but wonder if he knew where I was from, if he knew about my past. I prayed to the Moon Goddess, hoping that he wouldn't ask about it. I had worked so hard to keep my identity a secret, and I would rather not jeopardize that now.He looked at me, his eyes scanning my face. “You look new here,” he said, his voice low and steady
Drake“Hey, guys!” I said, forcing a smile onto my face as I sat down with them. “What's up, newbie?” one of them asked, his eyes full of mischief. I knew he was looking for a reaction, and I refused to give him the satisfaction. “Not much,” I replied, keeping my tone neutral. “Just enjoying the night.” I looked around at the group, studying each of them, memorizing their features. I was looking for any weaknesses I could exploit, any way to give myself an advantage.“Where's your brother?” one of them asked. “He's fast asleep,” I replied, my voice betraying nothing of my true thoughts. I knew he was talking about Jake, and I had to keep up the act. “He's missing out on all the fun,” another chimed in, a sly grin on his face. “Yeah, he's such a bore,” another added. I just nodded, keeping my face blank. I looked down at the bottle in my hand, knowing that it could be my ticket to freedom.“What's that?” one of them asked, gesturing towards the bottle in my hand. “It's alcohol
DrakeA beam of sunlight suddenly streamed through the window, hitting me directly in the face. I squinted and blinked, trying to adjust to the sudden brightness. As my eyes adjusted, I saw a figure standing in front of me. I let out a silent hiss, realizing that it was our Master, the one I had been avoiding for so long. I felt a surge of panic, but I forced myself to remain calm. After all, I had made it this far, and I couldn't let my fear get the best of me.“Alpha Charles demands all of your presence now!” he screamed at us, his voice booming throughout the room. I smiled inwardly, knowing that this was the moment I had been waiting for. “Why are you smiling?” Jake whispered, confusion in his voice. “I finally did it,” I said, unable to contain my excitement. “What did you do?” he asked, his eyes wide with curiosity. “You will see,” I replied, savoring the look of bewilderment on his face.“There's no time for discussion,” the old man said, his tone clarifying that he was no
Drake“No one will leave the room,” Charles said, his voice low and dangerous.Lucas looked at him confused, his brow furrowed. “Why?” he asked, his voice uncertain. “No one is to leave,” Charles repeated, his voice firm. “There is an investigation underway, and we must make sure that no one interferes.” I could feel the panic rising in the room, as we all tried to make sense of what was happening. But we knew better than not to question him.Slowly, we all made our way back to our former positions, our heads bowed, our hearts pounding in our chests. Charles was always one step ahead of us, always one step closer to uncovering our secrets. I knew I had to be extra careful, to make sure I didn't give anything away. I could feel the weight of his gaze on me, and I tried to keep my body still, my expression neutral. But inside, I was terrified.I could feel Jake's eyes on me, trying to communicate something, but I refused to meet his gaze. I knew that Lucas and Charles were watching c
