Chapter: DINNER TABLEARIASheena stands next to Jonathan Manchester and smiles at me. My eyes glance at the expression on Jay's face, and his eyes are empty, almost dead.“Let's go to the dinner table.” Jonathan points his palm towards a door.Jay turns his head to me and holds my palm. He gently guides my steps to the door, escaping the living room in a rush.As we step into the hallway, I notice a glimpse of rage shrouding his face. We go down the hallway, silence flowing with us, and enter the dining room on the left.Sheena is with Jonathan Manchester. They aren't friends or colleagues. Each and every movement of their actions tells me they are together romantically.We sit at the table under a shimmering chandelier. A room that is closed with huge glass walls. Scented candles on the table and two maids to serve us.There are more than twenty dishes on the table, spicy and sweet mixed. The maids pour empty glasses with red wine and step away.“I never thought I'd meet my son's mate.” Jonathan toasts t

Chapter: A CAR RIDEA week later…ARIAThe security has increased around the academy but little did anyone know the killer is among us, one of the students, Alpha's son.Sheena reported to Lozark Aylestone about the possibility of a hunter in the pack. He stationed his guards everywhere, especially near the green line area.The students are on the edge.Two students died mysteriously under close watch, but Jerek's killer was a different person. The strategy is different in both cases.I still have no idea who killed Jerek.The night finally came when Jay took me to his mansion for dinner with his father. He invited me on the night of the mating ceremony. Wearing a long red dress, I open the door only to meet his presence. He has been waiting for me, leaning an arm on the door, exposing veins, and a playful smile glinting on his lips.His intense gaze as he slowly lifts his lashes, meeting mine, triggers a thudding pounding to my heart, growing louder, louder, and louder.For the first time, he isn't wea

Chapter: TRAGEDY ARIAI lean against the wall and cross my arms over my chest. Scott is as shocked as me. He never knew about Hale's secret love story.“We were best friends but he never told me.” “Maybe he was just afraid.” I sigh.“Can we really trust Ralix?” “He seems genuine.” “So are you going to his room for the ruby?”“Yes. That ruby is important.”Scott steps into my personal space and hugs me tightly. With his warmth, I melt down in tears. A striking pain twisting my heart feels like a wound from a dagger.“Everything's gonna be okay.”“We will soon bring justice to our Hale.” Scott has been acting as a guard for quite some time now, guarding the wall, exchanging secret notes, and having short conversations with Victor at night.As we part our hug, our eyes lock.“What about Amina's daughter?” I inquire.“She is safe with Victor. We called a doctor for her and found out she recently recovered from a heart condition but her wolf is still weak.”“Take care of her. I'll meet her when the tim

Chapter: A FRIENDARIAI stand before Ralix, confident and bold. Leaving with no choice, he set a chess date for us after 2 pm. He never expected me to come out alive from the haunted building. The portrait was drenched but I had to check the black rose tattoo on his left arm. That's my only clue for now to reach the Alpha's son.As we meet in the chess room, he asks me to sit at the table next to the window. That's his favorite spot.“Why are you participating?” His eyes look into mine, interrogating.“Ehm…I have always liked chess.”“You want me to believe that?” “Huh?” My brows furrow.In a flash, he turns over the table and grabs my neck, leaning into me.“W-What the h-hell are you doing?”“Tell me honestly…Did my father hire you to keep an eye on me?” “No.” “You're lying.” He makes his grip stronger.*Cough *Cough“You'll kill me.” His turn red and his claws come out. There's rage and fear mixed in his gaze. He gets out of control, howling a growl, and shoving me against the wall.As he appro

Chapter: A HUNTER'S PASTRIZZI slowly walk over to her and she remains calm, watching my steps.“How are you?” I sit beside her on the bed.She doesn't answer, clenching her dress on her thighs, tightening her fists. The nanny was right. She's scared of something.“You must be upset I didn't come earlier. Things aren't that great at the academy.” Her gaze drops to the floor, staring intensely.“When will you come back?”Her whole body is stiff, guarding herself. We used to get along well in the past. She was never afraid of me.“Fera…” I take out the picture from the pocket of my pants.“Do you know him?” My fingers unfold the paper before her eyes. In the blink of an eye, her breathing grows louder, sweat covers her forehead, and she drops to the floor.“FERA!” She crawls over to the wall, trembling.“What's wrong?” I move closer to her again.She covers her ears and starts crying. The horror shrouding her face has shaken me.“Do you know him? Is he your friend?”“Fera, answer my question.” Her shivering

The water slides down from my mouth, returning me to my senses.As my eyes open, he is already looking at me, flashing concern in his piercing blue eyes.He is inches closer, breathing over my lips.The air around us thickens with tension. Neither of us is speaking a word.

Once again, his intoxicating scent has wrapped me.He gently grabs a thick, drenched loose strand on my face and slides it behind my ear, caressing my skin.I don't understand this guy…at all.As we dive into the contact between our eyes, the memory of our first night replays in my head, opening up old wounds.Suddenly, a sweet voice of a morning bird echoes through the lake, hitting me with the realization th
