NatalieI yawned out loudly and stood up from the bed. I rubbed my hand gently on my eyes as I walked up to the window. I pulled the curtain down. I closed my eyes gently as I tried to adjust to the brightness of the room. I slumped hard on the couch with a frustrated look on my face. I let out an exasperated sigh as a thought crossed my mind. It has been a week that I've been staying under the persistent pressure of Damien who wouldn't stop flirting with me in one way or the other. I've thought of telling Ryan but each time I remembered how they fought because of me I got rid of the idea in my head. I don't know what to do anymore. Though I feel guilty for hiding it from Ryan, I think I'm doing the right thing. Despite the love and care that he'd showered on me, I can't bring myself to tell him about what's happening between me and Damien. I don't know what to do about him. I'm just stranded with no help. I can't possibly tell Ryan because I know it could cause more problems be

NatalieI shook my head as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I sighed deeply as I touched my pale cheeks. I'm becoming lean with each day. And it's because of the two brothers, Ryan and Damien. I don't know what to do about them anymore. I'm just stranded with no help. Things haven't been the same again, it wasn't loving and peaceful as it used to be. Though Ryan had apologized again, things don't seem right like they used to be. I ruffled my hair with a frustrated and sad look as I recalled how Ryan lashed out at me with hurtful and disheartening words that shook my heart. I'm still finding it hard to forgive him because his words keep haunting me. I wish he'd never said such words to me. Damien also wasn't helping the case either. He has been flirting with me. Though I've been trying to resist, he keeps coming to me relentlessly trying to have his way into me. I wish I could just end this once and for all. And aside from the hurtful words Ryan said to me, I'm feeling a

Ryan"What's the pack business and security statistics?" I asked as I sat down on the swivel chair in my office. It has been a long time since I've visited my office, and everything seems to be the way it used to be. Mark looked up at me and smiled. He walked closer to me with a file in his left hand. I nodded my head gently giving him approval to go on with the report he has for me for the day. "According to the report from the chief of guards, there's no security problem or invader, things have been going fine, Alpha," he said, and I stroked my chin gently. "About the pack business?" I asked as I reached out to a file on the wooden table. He looked at me with a bright smile beaming on his face. It seems he has good news about the pack business. "What's up with that smile? You'd better go straight to the point," I spoke, and he nodded his head gently and cleared his throat. "The pack business has been going smoothly lately. The debt has been cleared from the income we got from

Natalie"Ryan," I muttered with a sigh as I watched him walk past me without sparing a glance at me. What's wrong? I couldn't help but ask myself. I stared at his departing figure with a surprised and confused look on my face. I wonder what could be wrong with him. Why is he avoiding me?I wanted to go after him and find out what could be wrong with him but I stopped myself before I could move. I can't chase after him even knowing that he's avoiding me. I'm sure he will come back to me. I let out an exasperated sigh and walked into my room. I slumped hard on the couch with a heavy heart, my heart ached as I remembered how Ryan ignored me. Is this also how he felt when I was avoiding him? Though I don't want to think about him, I can't help it. I'm worried that something could have happened to him to make him act in such a way. But what could it be?I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up as I heard a dry chuckle. My eyes darkened as my gaze landed on Damien who was standing

Natalie"It's really sad that we've lost one of the most important people in the Red Moon pack. The Alpha of the pack, Alpha Ryan," one of the elders said, and I scoffed inwardly. I stared at them indifferently. "We've been grieving over the death of the Alpha for the past two weeks,""The throne of the Alpha has been empty for the past three weeks, and it's having a bad effect on the pack members and even on us, the council members and elders,""What do you think we should do, elder Raphael?" The one who seemed to be the head of the elder cleared his throat and stood up from the chair. "As the head of the elder what I'll suggest is that we look for another candidate to make the Alpha of the pack,""Though none of us is happy about the death, we can't let the throne be empty for so long. No matter how we grieve, it can't bring him back to life," my heart sliced with sadness as I listened to the statement of the elder. I stared at the elders blankly uninterested in their so-called
