Chapter 21.*"As much as I want to reprimand myself for believing in the unattainable, I feel you are a species that should be investigated," Tessa stated as she got out of the tub."Me? A species? That's quite weird" Cora rose as Tessa got out of the water.Tessa fixed her attention on Cora for a long while. She was enthralled by her and wanted to learn more about her right away."What went wrong with your eyes back there? First and foremost, I saw that radiance over lunch yesterday and__""Cee is who you saw. As I have stated, she is my wolf's side. She makes an appearance under unusual circumstances" Tessa's brows wrinkled as Cora spoke."Are you referring to werewolves when you say "wolf"? I believed a buddy of mine was crazy when he said things like that about those creatures." Tessa clenched her eyes shut, praying that the narrative was a myth."Yes, there are werewolves, witches, and rogues__"The ringing of the bell made them stop conversing as they headed toward other patien

Chapter 23.*Mountain Howl Pack.Max stood alone in the council room, hands behind his back. His eyes were riveted on the chair designated for the Alpha.His father, Alpha Rex, had sat on the throne, and he was expected to be the one to take it over.But he wasn't as strong as his step-brother, Creed, who had taken over as the pack's new Alpha and was running things efficiently.If only he could enlist the help of Creed's most faithful subordinate, Lucas, the gamma of the pack. He pondered.Lucas was his father's most devoted servant, and after his father died, Lucas passed on his devotion to CreedMax was aware that Lucas was assisting Creed in learning how to govern the pack, but Lucas refused to commit his loyalties to anybody until he was certain that the Alpha was dead.Lucas had been quiet in the pack since the pandemonium and the witches took Alpha Creed away for healing, and nothing truly interested him as long as the Alpha was gone.He refused to forgive himself for failing

Chapter 25.*"Cora, hurry up. You are taking far too long. Let's get this over with so you don't lose your priceless necklace." Sean remarked while clutching a metal plate containing a few syringes and other medical supplies."Right," Cora murmured as she approached him."Lie down on the bed and face up" He stated this as she nodded and moved to the bed, doing what he had directed."Are you sure, Cora, that this is a good idea?" Cee inquired for the first time after Cora had silenced her."Do we seem to have a choice here, Cee? All we have to do now is do what the damned man wants, and we'll be free to leave with our necklace." She sighed as Sean approached her on the bed.He tried to bind her hands with some metal steel cuffs as she sat up properly on the bed and gazed furiously at him."What are you attempting to accomplish?" Her voice was as frigid as ice when she inquired.Sean was taken aback by her steely tone, but he knew she wouldn't do anything dangerous to him because he ha

Chapter 27.*TRIGGER WARNING!!! CONTENT INCLUDES SEX SCENECora returned the kiss by reaching for him, placing her little, warm hand on the back of his neck, and pressing her lips against his.They kissed, at first lightly, then more passionately, his tongue in her lips, her hips slanted towards his, her breasts on his chest, her entire body sending an unmistakable message.He didn't mind that her mouth tasted like blood and salt as he continued sucking on her tongue and then softly kissing her lips, relishing the wonderful sensation of the kiss.She slid her fingers through his coarse hair, lightly massaging it, and continued kissing as if her life depended on it.He then interrupted the kiss as she stood there watching him remove the molar mic from his teeth and throw it aside.He drew her closer to him and kissed her again, unable to let go. He felt compelled to protect her, to murmur lovely words into her ears, and nibble on her earlobes.Cora let out a deep soft throaty moan tha

Chapter 29.*Cora was greeted by the pungent fragrance of cooked bacon and eggs, which engulfed her in luxurious vapors that stroked her eyelids as she inhaled deeply and smiled with her eyes closed.When she tried to open her eyes, she was welcomed with beams of sunlight streaming in through the open windows, which had their blinds drawn."Today is the full moon, Cee," she muttered, but Cee remained silent.She turned to wrap her arm around her husband, only to come to a halt as she came into contact with an empty sheet.When she eventually opened her eyes, she realized he wasn't really there. Then she sat properly on the bed, taking her time to become acquainted with her surroundings for the first time.A bedside table to the left of the bed had a computer and, behind it, a mysterious small jewel box adorned with an exotic base relief. A stack of books and periodicals lay almost hidden on the floor behind the bedside table, serving as emergency provisions.She was resting on a purp
