Aria's eyes scanned the pages of the leather-bound book, her mind racing with questions. The symbols and diagrams seemed to dance before her eyes, holding secrets she was determined to uncover."What does it mean?" she asked Lyrien, her voice barely above a whisper."It means that the lunar pack is not what it seems," Lyrien replied, his eyes gleaming with a knowing light. "They're hiding something big, something that could put you in danger."Aria's heart raced as she looked up at Lyrien. "What kind of danger?""The pack is bound by a curse, Aria," Lyrien explained, his expression serious. "A curse that forces them to roam the shadows, to hide their true nature from the world.""But what does this have to do with me?" Aria asked, her voice shaking slightly."You're connected to the pack, Aria," Lyrien said, his eyes locked onto hers. "Connected in ways you don't even understand. You see, the pack's leader, Kael, has a special interest in you."Aria's mind raced as she tried to proces
Kael, the alpha wolf, stood tall, his eyes scanning the forest. He could sense something was off, something that threatened the balance of the pack."Kael, what's wrong?" asked Lyra, his beta wolf, her eyes narrowed with concern.Kael's expression turned serious. "I sense a threat, Lyra. A threat to our pack, to our way of life."Lyra's ears perked up. "What kind of threat?"Kael's eyes locked onto hers. "A human threat. Aria, the village girl, has been asking questions, seeking answers about our kind."Lyra's growl was low and menacing. "She's a danger to our pack, Kael. We can't let her expose us."Kael's expression turned thoughtful. "I agree, Lyra. But we need to be careful. Aria's not like the others. She's different, special."Lyra's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"Kael's voice dropped to a whisper. "I mean that Aria has a connection to our pack, to our history. She's the key to breaking the curse."Lyra's eyes widened in shock. "The curse? You mean the one that turned us int
Kael, Lyra, and Zephyr sat around a large stone table, deep in the heart of the forest. Maps and scrolls were spread out before them, detailing the pack's territory and Riven's possible movements."Okay, let's get down to business," Kael said, his eyes scanning the maps. "We need to come up with a plan to stop Riven before he can harm Aria or the pack."Zephyr nodded, his eyes gleaming with intensity. "I've been studying Riven's movements, and I think I know how we can take him down."Lyra leaned forward, her ears perked up with interest. "Tell us, Zephyr. What's the plan?"Zephyr smiled, a fierce glint in his eye. "We'll need to work together, use our unique skills to our advantage. Kael, your strength and leadership will be crucial in this battle. Lyra, your speed and agility will allow you to outmaneuver Riven's minions. And I..."Zephyr paused, a sly smile spreading across his face. "I'll use my knowledge of the ancient arts to weaken Riven's powers. But we'll need to be quick and
"You look ravishing, Luna," Beatrice said as she styled her hair into a ponytail with coils at the front."Do you think so?"Katherine asked, turning to face Beatrice. For some reason, she trusted Beatrice more than all the maids in the Mansion, but Beatrice played with her trust and thrashed it like it was a dog's truth."Luna! Which of the dresses are you going for?" Beatrice asked, bringing out a green short gown with a split that ended at Luna's thighs."Which of them do you love? The green sexy gown or the black powerful gown?" Luna questioned, pulling out another gown from her wardrobe."I don't know, Luna. I think the green sexy gown would suit you. Alpha appreciates such sexy clothes, you know?" Beatrice smiled as Luna took the gown from her hand."Really? Does that mean you've been seducing my husband with such a dress?" Luna retorted, and Beatrice opened and closed her mouth like a fish. Luna guessed she was surprised at how she found out she was sleeping with her husband, ev
The early morning sun shone brightly on Katerina's face, and as she gasped out, her heart immediately started beating wildly as she remembered what happened last night.Only if Beta Edward agrees to do what she wants, maybe things would be sorted out smoothly.The door opened, and two maids walked in with their heads bowed."Leave, I will dress myself," she muttered, stepping down from the king-size bed.As she walked into the bathroom, she stared at herself in the mirror, realizing she had slowly become someone else.After having her bath, she went downstairs for dinner and noticed the maids gossiping around."What is it? There seems to be something I'm missing," she said, digging her fork into the fried chicken."First lady isn't back, and Mrs. Beatrice is missing," one of the maids replied to her, and she rolled her eyes.How's that supposed to be an issue? She had been maltreated for two years now, yet no one saw it as an issue, huh? Impressive."I hope that all die and perish; no
Opening her eyes, it dawned on her. She didn't hit the ground. Looking up a bit, she met his charming face: thick jaw, deep brown eyes, sharp nose, and a bloody lip. This description suits no one else than Alpha Raymond, the Lycan king known for his deadly acts.“If you wish to end your miserable life, then it's okay, but not in my company,” he dropped her down, and she turned around.Her stupid mind didn't think through; trying to commit suicide in a company, wasn't smart at all.“You should not have stopped me,” Katherine said, and Alpha Raymond nodded.“Don't get confused, darling. I didn't stop you; I just don't want bloodstains on the wall. Drinking poison would be best,” he brought out a little bottle with a green substance.“Are you a psychopath? Who on earth carries poison daily?” She raised her eyebrows, finding the strange man a bit unbelievable.“Who knows, I might stumble upon ignorant fools like you,” he responded, and she scoffed, alongside an eye roll.“Lunatic.” She wa
Luciano could only look at her with a compressed surprised expression on his face “So, let's get straight to business,” she said as she carefully settled on the chair whilst caressing her pregnant belly once more. He looked at her, monitoring her every movement till she settled before looking back at her face “Since your business desperately needs my help, I'm willing to partner with you” she spoke with a cold expression on her face and he cleared his throat to speak “No! I don't need to hear what you have to say, I've read all the terms and conditions including the profit distribution and I'm okay with everything” she cut in, making him swallow his words. He couldn't believe it was the same Katherine he was once married to who was sitting right in front of him. She pushed the papers close to him and he stared down at it “I have already signed the agreement so I'm good with everything. You can go through it and decide if you're comfortable with it but on second thought, you're in
“But why do you have to go so out of the blue, you don't look too good let's go to the hospital” Katherine beckoned for the millionth time as Alpha Raymond continued packing a suitcase with some clothes“I'm fine and there's nothing I can do to avoid going, I'll just have to go”“B..but why?”“The investors I'm working with urgently called for a business meeting and I have to go. I'll be back before you know it, okay?” He kissed her forehead, closed the suitcase, and the maid in the room with them carried it down from the bed to take downstairs. Katherine folded her hands in defeat and just followed him till he got outside where the car was waiting. She knew she couldn't change his mind at this point and besides, he was going for an understandable reason but it seemed like her pregnancy hormones were messing with her ability to understand or compromise“Bye, please take care of yourself and my little prince inside you okay?” Katherine pouted and he chuckled“So cute” he lightly squeez
