As emotions reached a fever pitch in the Blood Pack's domain, an unexpected savior arrived from the darkness. Andrew, Alpha Allen's son and Dylan's half-brother, entered the scene with a commanding presence that immediately calmed the chaos.His authoritative presence and firm reprimand quiet the ridiculing guards, allowing him to seize control of the situation. With a sense of duty and obligation, Andrew escorted Beatrice and Dylan to the palace, which housed the pack's power.As Andrew led the way forward, Beatrice couldn't help but feel a mixture of relief and anxiety. Although she appreciated his help, there was still a tension that she couldn't seem to get rid of, especially between Dylan and Andrew.Even though they were related by blood, Dylan's aloof response and Andrew's desire for closeness revealed the obvious distance between them.While strolling through the opulent corridors of the palace, Beatrice noticed Andrew's quiet attempts to close the distance between him and Dyl
As the atmosphere becomes intense. Jai, Dylan's ex-mate couldn't stop herself from asking him again about his decision."Dylan, what is this I hear about you getting married? Is this some sort of joke?" Jai's eyes narrowed upon him.Dylan was steadfast. "No, Jai. It's not a joke. Beatrice and I have made the decision to get married." He replied to her.His ex-mate swallowed hard. Dylan knows where she's coming from but he is determined right now. He will marry her. Beatrice Everdeen. He won't hesitate it. Right after what had happened before. He is persistent to seek his revenge.Nervously, Beatrice interrupts. "We understand if this comes as a shock, Jai. But we hope that in time, you'll see that our love is genuine."The three of them were shocked and at the same time look at each other most especially Jai and Dylan. They don't know why did she said that but in fact, Jai will get married soon. She just did that to smoothen the heavy atmosphere around them and not jump to a conclusio
In the midst of the unexpected development, Dylan's former partner, Jai, was experiencing a wave of emotions.She was furious that Alpha Allen had shown Beatrice and her twins such hospitality, and she found it difficult to remain calm in the face of such kindness.Even though she felt guilty about Beatrice and her kids being accepted by the pack, she was aware that it was inappropriate to openly challenge the Alpha's authority.With the majesty of Alpha Allen towering above the assembly, Jai experienced the burden of her own shortcomings bearing down on her.The possibility that Beatrice would be accepted as a valued member of the pack threatened to dominate her own position in the hierarchy.Knowing that she could not publicly disagree with the Alpha's choice without risking the tenuous power structure within the pack was a painful pill to take."You aren't going to defy me, Jai. You won't like it if you did," Alpha Allen blurted out without hesitation.As the room full of heavy ten
After that night of intimacy between Jai and Dylan. No one knows about it. It was a secret. A secret that cannot be revealed.And today, it was the wedding of Jai and Andrew. The wedding ceremony is grand. All are cheering for the newlyweds couple. Jai started to throw her bouquet of flower and Dylan was the one who catch it.Jai smiled but it fades when Dylan give it to Beatrice. She felt so annoyed and irritated. Right after they had sex, she thought that they will get back together even if she was married. But it was wrong. It was not the plot twist of having sex with him last night.She was jealous of her. She was jealous of Beatrice. She thinks that she should be the only one that Dylan treat her like that."Congratulations to the newlyweds!" The visitors cheered for them.Andrew, on the other hand is not happy while seeing your his bride watching his ex-mate. He crumpled his fists but he didn't complain. He was just observing Jai beside him. He could see jealousy in her eyes and
Beatrice gathered all of her courage and will to cross the dangerous and restless territory of the forbidden woods, despite the chaos and danger that Jai's deceit had thrown upon her.Her heart pounded in her chest with every step, a constant throbbing that urged her through the tangled leaves and thick undergrowth.She was panting, her heavy breathe contained her. She couldn't ven run properly. She has a lot of bruises.She moved forward, her senses attentive to every creak and rustle of the forest, and it seemed to come alive around her, its ancient guardians whispering secrets of times long past.Beatrice remained fearless in the face of the incoming threat that hid in the shadows, her will strengthened by the realization that her survival hinged on her capacity to dodge the threats surrounding her.The forbidden woods' darkness surrounded her like a disguise as she ran, making her path difficult to follow and trying to force herself at every turn. However, Beatrice pushed herself
Beatrice found herself in a dark cave, her senses dulled by the lingering haze of unconsciousness, as consciousness slowly returned.A small fire flickered and danced across the rugged stone walls, illuminating the figure of a man leaned over her, the play of light and shadow masking his features.Beatrice groaned and tried to get up, but when she did, a stinging pain raced through her body like a flurry bolt."Stay still," Lucas blurted out. "You are full of wounds," he added.Beatrice looked at the man in front of her as her eyes grew used to the low light. It was Lucas, of course, outlined against the fire's flickering light. When she saw him, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a flurry of emotions as she tried to process what was going on around her."L-Lucas..." she called his name. "H-How?"She couldn't finish her words because Lucas hush her with his finger."Rest, Beatrice..." his voice is pleading her."B-But... the twins, Lucas..." she tried to get up. "T-They're at the
A piercing pain grasped at Beatrice's chest as she lay in the cave's darkness, an image of the fear and agony that consumed her. She felt like the weight of her emotions was crushing her from the inside out with every breath.Upon hearing what he had said to her, the pain sank in her chest even more. She doesn't know why she feels like that but she realized it is because of their bond. She could feel pain in that kind of situation.She's confused of everything. Even her feelings. She does want Dylan to be by her side but she doesn't want Lucas to end the bond between them. She really is confused and don't know what to do anymore.With every beat of her heart, she felt a stinging pain in her chest. She couldn't suppress it any longer.Despite the searing pain that gripped her chest and the overwhelming fear that threatened to consume her, Beatrice summoned every ounce of strength within her to maintain a facade of calm."Oh, alright. Let's end the rejection," she agreed.Lucas knitted
In one last attempt to soothe Lucas's wounds, Beatrice put her quivering palms to his lips and offered him her blood. She felt a wave of heat course through her veins as the red liquid seeped into his mouth, along with a bittersweet rush of both comfort and fear.But the atmosphere changed in an instant. Lucas's expression changed the minute he tasted her blood, his eyes blazing with a need that made Beatrice shudder. He moved faster than she could have imagined, trapping her beneath him with such force that she was left gasping for air and unable to fight against it.Beatrice looked up at him, pulse pounding in her chest, her voice trembling with a mix of terror and perplexity, "Lucas, what are you doing?"His eyes, which had previously been filled with agony and despair, were now blazing with a primordial longing that made her heart race. His hungry intensity made her blood run cold as he hovered over her, his full weight pushing down on her and his every breath heated against her s
