Sarah The parking lot was closed off to the road. I sat in the backseat, feeling out of sorts as Robert, my bodyguard, who was also acting as my driver maneuvered the car into the empty space. The journey down to this building had been emotionally draining. The sights brought back memories of my childhood. And bittersweet memories of my existence as Luna. “Are you alright back there, ma?” he asked. I smiled at the back of his head. I knew he could see my reflection in the mirror. Robert Harting but ‘Rob’ to his friends was a bear of a man. Though he was a ruthless warrior just like his master. He had fought side by side with Lucas and had retired from active battles after an injury on his right leg. Now, he’s one of Lucas’ trusted guards. I had taken a liking to him the moment we first met. He knew how to tell a joke and take one too. Lucas had assigned Rob to me as my bodyguard after my ordeal at the hospital five years ago. But when I had left the pack, Rob wouldn't follow m

Ryder Something felt different. My wolf senses were all over the place. Which made my wolf restless, beneath my skin. The guard let me through the building and people greeted me as I walked past. I had made plans for today. But only two on the list were my topmost priorities; get over this meeting and spend quality time with my son. Dennis, my ever-present bodyguard, walked at a distance, leaving me to my thoughts. My conversation with Alexis this morning hadn't been pleasant. She seemed not to be bothered about her son. She wouldn’t give two cents if he fell right in front of her, except it benefitted her. **** “You're his father. Do whatever you will. I did my part, I gave you an heir. Something the ‘so-called love of your life’ failed to do. I should be worshipped for that, not treated like a pauper and asked to babysit.” Alexis spat out, her face contorted into something hideous. “Alim is your responsibility. Don't put that on me.” “You're not babysitting anyone.

SarahThe summer was in full bloom and the air was filled with scattered pollen from blooming flowers and fragrance. Street shops were bursting with flowers, different colours and shapes.But that wasn't the reason for my excitement. My wolf had woken me early with her excitement. I was to be mated today. And the moon goddess had decided to bless me with the perfect day.A red moon was expected today, which meant, the alpha would have his transitioning ceremony. It threw the whole pack into a celebratory mood.Not me. I was solely focused on satisfying the heat between my legs.The thought of meeting my mate today made me giggly and act like a love-struck child.I felt over the moon. Nothing could ruin my day. Or so I thought. Till a car ran through, soiling my dress with the pool of muddy water on the road.I stared at the dress till tears blurred my vision. It had taken me a month's wages to buy this dress.My father had offered no assistance. “You don't need that. You're already p

Sarah “Me!? Are you sure you have the right name? I've no business with the council of elders.” “I'm not here to provide you with answers to the questions you may have. I'm nothing but a messenger.” “Well then,” Lucas interrupted, pulling his weight up. “Introduce yourself, servant.” “Tomorrow is the date,” the man continued, speaking fast, not introducing himself or acknowledging Lucas’ presence. “They will be expecting you. Here,” he stretched out his hand, revealing a small scroll. “All you need to know has been written down. Speedy recovery.” “What does the council want with me?” I threw my question at his retreating figure. He ignored my question, leaving the same way he had arrived. I threw a questioning look at Lucas, baffled at the whole interaction. He shrugged. “I've no clue what that was all about.” He took the scroll from my hand and pried it open. “It says here that ‘the house of cards has requested your humble present, Sarah Willow, tomorrow at dawn. A dri

Sarah“My mother? What has she got to do with this?”“Everything. She let her selfishness cloud her judgement.”“That's not true. You don't know anything about my mother,” I insisted, refusing to believe anything he said. “She was the most selfless person I've ever known. She taught me everything I know till death took her away.”“Your mother is alive and her name is Siea.”“You're lying,” I yelled, caught off guard by this revelation. I stood up hastily, knocking my chair to the floor. “My mother is dead.”“Sit down, Erielse,” they commanded in unison, the same way they did at the beginning.I picked up the chair and sat down with a thud. I wanted nothing more than to leave this place. But I knew that the only way that was possible was to play along.This was insane. Ambushing me and telling lies about a dead woman.“Your mother is the bastard child of Alpha Conrad. A rogue alpha, who terrorized the realm till his final breath. A nuisance, if you ask me, and glad to see his end. But,

Ryder Alexis stood beside me as we navigated through the crowded room. She was particular about keeping up ‘the happy home facade’ in public. “Don't be a snub and ruin the party for me,” she hissed, pulling my hand forcefully around her waist. I planted a smile on my face as we exchanged greetings with a few friends of ours. The room was packed full of prominent wolves across the realm. I had sighted Trevor earlier in the crowd, but he wasn't the reason I was there. I hated parties like this. Hated the pretence of happiness and perfection. I would have rather stayed home with Alim, playing crossword puzzles. That was Alim’s new obsession. Every week, he finds something new to obsess about. First, it was learning a difficult word and jotting it down in his journal. But Alpha Orin had requested my presence today and I couldn't refuse. He was a member of the council and my father's best friend before he died. Orin was the closest thing I had to a father figure. It would be

Sarah I stood still as he charged towards me, stopping only a breath away. He looked magnificent. His fur glistened in the dark. His was an array of brown and black fur. He was beautiful. “Sarah,” he breathed my name out as he shifted, taking his human form. I was stunned. Caught face-to-face with the one person I hated just as much as I had loved him. How was it possible to look at him and hold nothing but anger towards him? All I had left with me were painful memories. I backed away from him, disgusted by the mere sight of him. Though, he had aged nicely. He had let his hair run wild and tamed it with a band at the nape of his neck. His eyes had laugh lines around them. “Sarah,” he called again, his voice low and cautious. This time, the sound of my name on his lips felt like a slap in my face. My anger surged through my veins like molten liquid. “You have no right to say my name,” I hissed, my voice barely a whisper. His eyes dropped, his jaw clenched in a mix

Ryder My phone rang and I grabbed it at the first ring. Alim was sleeping beside me and I didn't want to wake him up. I was sleeping in late. “Trevor,” I answered groggily, dropping my feet over the side of the bed. “I know you said not to disturb you but something came up. We have a bit of a situation here,” Trevor sounded agitated, rushing through his words. “What’s so important?” I questioned, unbothered by the panic in his voice. Trevor has a habit of overplaying a situation or downplaying it, whenever the mood suits him. “She is here. Came in about five minutes ago, unannounced. We weren't informed. No correspondence was sent. She is rounding up the staff for a meeting.” “Trevor, what are you talking about!?” I scolded, clearly irritated by now. “Sarah is here, with her team and—” “What has Sarah got to do with this?” “She’s the new partner. She bought the shares.” Trevor wasn't making sense. But I knew I had to get down to the office, fast. “Nothing happ

Sarah I stood outside the familiar house. My mind racing with a mix of emotions. I haven't been here in years, not since Ryder kicked me out. Lucas’ arm wound around my waist. It had been a struggle trying to convince Lucas to escort me down here. He had insisted that I didn't need to grant Ryder any favours and even threatened to lock me in the house if it would keep me from going. I nestled into his arm, grateful he had finally decided to see reasons and follow me. That afternoon had been nerve-wracking. I had gone straight home from the office and cried myself to sleep. He was allowed to have a normal life with a little boy running around the house while I held on to nothing but painful memories. I could still feel the heat of his hand on my skin, where he had grabbed me, earlier today. How was it possible to feel anything towards him? Even after what I just found out? I haven't mentioned my findings to Lucas. None of this would be happening if I had told him. I kne

Ryder I sat in the office ruffling through a bunch of files, looking for any legal advice to halt Sarah in her tracks. Last night hadn't gone the way I had expected. She had thrown me off by bringing Lucas with her, unannounced. I should have expected it. That had been an oversight on my end. The memories of them cuddled in each other arms and Lucas running after her in her distressed state were seared into my brain. Jealousy blinded me for a millisecond and I instinctively, charged towards Lucas. But, then I halted mid-way, remembering that Alim was sitting right beside me. And Alexis did nothing to help last night. Only worsening the already tense situation by being her usual self— a nutcase. She wanted to create a scene and she had her moment. Sarah’s anguished face when she saw Alim, danced in front of me. I had barely held myself from taking her into my arms and kissing her pains away. But her trained pitbull sat there, watching me with cold eyes. Right now, she th
