Aldine's heart sank, but he knew better than to question Kael's orders. He had seen firsthand the cruelty and ruthlessness that lay beneath the facade of the soon-to-be king. Gathering his courage, he spoke with a tone of determination tinged with trepidation."I promise you, Your Highness, I will not fail you. I will keep a close watch on Nadine and ensure she doesn't escape or cause any trouble. You have my word."Kael's eyes narrowed, his voice laced with a warning. "See to it that you do so, Aldine. I won't hesitate to deal with you personally if you let her slip through your fingers. I expect unwavering loyalty and efficiency from you."Aldine's heart raced, the weight of Kael's threat bearing down on him. He understood the consequences of failure all too well. Taking a deep breath, he composed himself and responded, "I will not disappoint you, Your Highness. I will remain steadfast in my duties and protect your interests."Kael's gaze softened slightly, though his tone remained
Kael, in his ruthless and devious nature, found himself standing amidst the members of the Dark Moon pack, his tall and imposing figure casting shadows in the dimly lit chamber. He paced back and forth, his footsteps echoing forbiddenly through the cold, stone walls, as his mind raced with dark schemes and twisted plots. His eyes narrowed, a sinister glint reflecting in them as he contemplated his next move, his fingers tapping with rythme against his thigh.His target was Nadine, his mate, the future luna of the rival Silver Moon pack.

She was fiercely loyal to them, and her love for them was well-known throughout the packs. It was this lov
Just as Nadine musters the courage to confidently walk into the cluster of the buildings that make up the heart of the pack's territory, a young maiden with a mysterious aura and an enigmatic presence stops her progress. The maiden's eyes, a deep shade of blue, are filled with a sense of urgency and determination as she gently but firmly grabs Nadine's arm, stopping her in her tracks. Nadine, surprised and taken aback by the sudden interruption, turns to face the maiden, her curiosity arousing and her heart pounding in her chest.The maiden leans in closer, her breath warm and slightly sweet against Nadine's ear, and whispers something that seems to carry great importance and significance. The words, though spoken softly and with great care, hold a weight that makes Nadine's heart race and her mind fill with questions and possibilities. As the message is relayed, Nadine's eyes widen in shock, and she can't help but feel a mixture of fear and excitement coursing through her veins, her

He looked intensively with disgust at the maid standing in front of him, his piercing gaze filled with a mixture of disdain and contempt. The maid, appearing to look very timid, trembled under his cold glare, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't help but wonder what could be going on in his head.“Lady Nadine is innocent.” As the words escaped her trembling lips, the room fell into an uneasy silence. The air seemed to thicken with tension, as if the very atmosphere held its breath, awaiting the Almighty Kael's response.

Should she let the tears flow freely, a release for the pain she had almost endured? Or should she find solace in the fact that her beloved brother had be
