Chapter: Chapter 18: First shift Arabella “Well, kids,” the instructor began, her tone warm but no-nonsense, “it’s completely normal that some of you may not find your mates right away.”“The next Lunar Moon rises tomorrow night,” she continued, her eyes sweeping across the large hall where we were all gathered. “And I know the anticipation is high, but I want to remind you, it affects everyone differently.”We were seated in the grand multipurpose hall—shifters and healers alike, lined in orderly rows. It was one of the few classes we all took together, meant to unify us before the biggest spiritual event of our lives. A general orientation, but also a mental and emotional preparation.Tomorrow night was when the moon would hang highest and fullest in the sky, pulsing with energy that reached into our very bones. I chewed lightly on my lip as I stared down at my hands. By this time tomorrow, I would no longer just be me. I would be we.I’d finally meet my wolf. Hopefully. This was basically my last year. If I d

Chapter: Chapter 17: Hunts Squad Invitation Aurora “I wonder why those girls were sent away,” Meghan said. “Yes, immediate expulsion,” Sarah added with a scowl. “And now we’re being breathed down on by forces we can’t even see.”Annabelle bit into her food calmly, her eyes thoughtful.“They were found snooping around the West Wing section,” she said, like she’d been waiting for the question.“Last night.”I paused. “The West Wing?”She nodded. “The two girls that were sent off. That’s where they were caught.”My eyebrows shot up.“That’s one of the places that’s strictly off-limits, right?”“But isn’t that kind of harsh?” I asked slowly, trying to understand. “I mean… maybe they got curious or just—wandered?”Sarah nodded beside me. “Exactly. We’ve all been tempted to poke around a bit, especially with how mysterious this place is.”“Oh no, no, no,” Annabelle said, her voice dropping a little. “It’s not just what they did. It's the question of why. " The table went quiet..Annabelle let out a slow breath. “Twilight is in po

Chapter: Chapter 16:Watched Aurora I finally reached my dorm much later, after classes and dinner. Every step up the staircase felt heavier than the last, the elevators, for some weird reason were out of service.At the door of I room, I paused.Something felt off. Wrong.The hairs on my neck stood up as I pushed the door open.Inside, the room was a mess. My things were scattered, overturned, tossed aside without care. Matrons moved about briskly, rifling through drawers, upending clothes, searching for… something.“Hey!” I called out, frozen in the doorway. My voice was more confused than angry.What were they looking for?They didn’t answer. They didn’t even stop.Before I could demand an explanation, Mirabelle appeared behind me, her heels clicking softly against the floor.“Oh no. It’s happening again,” she said under her breath, almost like she wasn’t surprised.“Come on.” She gently took my arm and began to lead me away from the chaos.“You didn’t bring anything… odd, did you?” she asked quietly. “Nothi

Chapter: Chapter 15: Hypocrite TheronThe king sat at the head, the queen beside him, looking every bit the polished, regal pair they wanted the world to believe they were. I could imagine we looked like a perfect family, framed neatly among the other important guests who had come for the dinner and the interview.I understood exactly what this was.A well crafted illusion.Strength. Warmth. Family and unity. A tight-knit royal circle, sharing a meal while the world watched.Perfection. I scowled under my breath. I took small, barely-there bites of my food, unsure if I could swallow past the bile clawing its way up my throat. My chest felt tight as my gaze swept across the room, catching every perfectly timed smile. “And about the benefit program,” someone said lightly from across the table, “I heard new attendees arrived at the academy just this week.”“Ah, yes,” the king replied with a pleasant nod. “A promising batch this year.”“It’s a beautiful thing, what you’ve done,” the woman continued. “Keeping the prog

Chapter: Chapter 14: Disgust Aurora"It was our king,” Chrissy said flatly. “Well… former king, technically.”“She had a baby… and died?” Sarah murmured, frowning. “That’s tragic.”I nodded in agreement. “Is it though?” Chrissy asked, arching a brow.Her voice turned sharp, bitter. “She wasn’t even a proper werewolf. Some kind of freak—something no one could ever really explain.”Confusion rippled across the room.“Don't you guys get it? She wasn’t fully wolf. Not a shifter either. Just… something else.” Chrissy’s lip curled. “An abomination.”The word dropped like a stone.“Imagine—just imagine—if she really was pregnant, and that thing survived. If it’s still out there somewhere…” Chrissy’s voice trembled now, but with rage, not fear. “Our world would fall apart.”“But it was just a baby,” someone whispered. “Innocent…”“Innocent?” Chrissy let out a cold laugh. “That child was never meant to exist. She and the king were never meant to meet.”“She was rumored to be part hunter and also a witch. A weird mutation

Chapter: Chapter 13:Familiar Aurora Theron, you infuriating bastard. I swore under my breath as I walked away from the building. “Aurora?”A hand suddenly grabbed my arm, halting me.I turned sharply, still seething.Orion stood in front of me, slightly out of breath, concern etched on his face.“Hey,” he said gently. “I’ve been calling you. I must’ve said your name like five times while running to catch up. Are you okay?”I looked away, jaw clenched.“I stepped out from the center for a moment,” he continued. “Lucas said you went in, but I couldn’t find you anywhere.”That’s because your charming friend locked himself and I in the damn dressing room! I screamed in my head, biting my tongue before it slipped out.I needed to cool off.Now.I started walking again, fists clenched at my sides.“Aurora,” Orion called, catching up beside me. “What happened? Did something happen?”I spun around so fast he nearly bumped into me.“Your friend happened!” I snapped. “He’s absolutely insufferable!”My voice trembled with

Chapter: Chapter 30: Insanity Hours later, Arabella was still on the floor.Her knees pulled tightly to her chest, arms wrapped around herself like a shield. She rocked gently, back and forth, back and forth, eyes vacant. Her nails had left shallow marks in her arms where she’d clung too hard, like she could hold herself together through sheer force.This wasn’t her bedroom.It looked like it, down to the smallest detail.But it wasn’t.It was a lie.A perfect, twisted copy.But none of it was real. None of it belonged to her anymore.At first, she’d fought.She’d screamed until her voice cracked and her throat felt like it had been scraped raw.“Lucas! You bastard! Let me out!”Her fists had pounded the door until her knuckles split. She’d cursed him. Sobbed. Begged.Nothing.No footsteps.Just the sound of her own voice and silence. Eventually, her strength gave out. Her voice disappeared. Her rage collapsed into exhaustion.Now, she sat in the same corner she had started in, still rocking. Still waiting.A sof

Chapter: Chapter 29: playing with fire Arabella “This is childish, Lucas,” I said sharply, pushing the papers aside. The same routine, every single morning, it was wearing me down to the bone.I was tired. Tired of him sitting across from me, slicing into his breakfast with the same cold elegance while I choked down humiliation.For several days now, I’d done nothing but cry through his carefully curated torment.“You went through hell, I get it.” I hissed, unable to keep the bitterness from my voice. “My father crushed you, stepped on you like you were nothing. But does this," I gestured around us with trembling hands, “does this make you any different?”He paused, mid-slice. A flicker of something, maybe interest, maybe amusement, passed across his face.“You’re probably much worse,” I whispered, almost to myself, shaking my head.I looked up, meeting his gaze with fire in mine. “What kind of sick game is this? You’re not teaching me anything, Lucas. You’re just a bully. A bored one at that. Surely you can come up with

Chapter: Chapter 28: Hollow heart "Arabella Montage," Lucas gritted through clenched teeth."You don’t get a say in destroying yourself, or your life. That choice belongs to me."It was long past midnight when he finally re-entered her room.The moonlight spilled in through the tall windows, casting silver streaks over her sleeping form.She lay curled on the large bed, her dark hair sprawled across the pillow Her expression wasn’t peaceful, it was strained, a faint crease between her brows, her lips parted slightly as if caught in a troubled dream.Lucas stood by the edge of the bed, unmoving.He stood at the edge of the bed, watching her sleep—peaceful, yet not quite.Her brows twitched in discomfort, her breaths shallow and uneven.She looked fragile. Too fragile.His hand lifted unconsciously, drawn toward her cheek… but he stopped mid-air, his fingers curling into a fist.Why did his hands itch for her?Why did the sight of her, soft, vulnerable, and maddeningly beautiful, stir something primal in him?His jaw c

Chapter: Chapter 27: Not your life! Lucas paced the length of the corridor restlessly like a caged predator, hands clenched at his sides, jaw locked tight.What the hell had she been thinking?It wasn't what he was thinking right? He asked himself in doubt. One moment she was eating, suddenly obedient for once, too obedient, and the next she was on the floor, gasping for air, her body convulsing in his arms. For a terrifying second,it seemed her heart had stopped. She'd gone limp. And now she was behind closed doors, being attended to, while he could do nothing but wait.Minutes dragged by like hours.Finally, the doors creaked open, and the doctor stepped out, removing his gloves with practiced calm.“Sir,” the man began, “it appears the young miss suffered an allergic reaction to something in her breakfast.”Lucas froze mid-step. His eyes sharpened, fixing on the doctor with a cold, unreadable stare. “So it’s confirmed.”“Yes, anaphylactic shock. Severe, but she’s stabilizing. She'll be okay."“Beth!” Lucas barked

Chapter: Chapter 26: Allergies "The next union is coming up at The Gentlemen’s Society," Don Antonio announced, his voice casual as he reached for his glass of aged brandy. "You’re expected to bring your new pet."He didn’t need to elaborate. The message was clear."It’s tradition. New acquisitions are to be showcased."Lucas’s knife slowed, then stopped against his plate. He didn’t look up immediately, but his grip on the cutlery tightened for the briefest of moments before he placed them down with controlled grace."Let’s see how crushed and broken she is by then," Don Antonio added, his lips curving into a faint smile that never reached his eyes.Lucas finally raised his head. His eyes were void of expression, a mask he wore with ease."I’ll pass," he said simply, rising from the table."You can’t," Antonio responded sharply, not missing a beat."She’s not a personal indulgence. She’s part of our cause."Lucas turned slightly, just enough to meet the Don’s gaze over his shoulder."She’s my property. My responsi

Chapter: Chapter 25: Dinner Arabella I stood frozen in the center of the bedroom, stark baked, heart pounding, staring at him.He stalked toward me, slow and deliberate, and my pulse raced wildly.What did he want? What was he going to do?I fought the urge to flinch, meeting his gaze with defiance.His eyes roamed my body, lingering, and I cringed, hating every second.He stopped inches away, our eyes locked in a stubborn standoff.His hand grazed my chin, and a shiver rippled through me, betraying my resolve.The cold bite of his touch, the weight of his stare, I felt my body tighten, nipples hardening against my will.I stood paralyzed, caught between the chill and a strange, unnameable heat.My skin burned, as if set aflame.“Don’t touch me!” I roared, voice cracking.He seized my face, pulling me against him. My bare skin pressed flush to his, the contact overwhelming.“You still haven’t learned, have you?” he taunted, eyes glinting with amusement.His hands slid to my bare back, lifting me closer. My brea

The Lycan’s Captive
Emma would never be good enough for the pack. She knew that.
But none of that mattered as long as she had her mate, Anthony, by her side. Until he betrayed her, announcing another woman as his mate instead.
Branded as a raving madwoman, scorned, Emma finally realizes the truth. She was never more than a tool to them, doomed to spend her life slaving away for an ungrateful pack that would never accept or acknowledge her.
So, she does what any crazy woman would.
***** She sets the pack on fire.*****
If Anthony was going to reject her, he might as well reject everything that came with her.
But leaving isn’t that simple. The pack refuses to let her go, hunting her down with orders to kill.
That night, her world ends. She thinks she died.
Until she opens her eyes... and finds herself in an even bigger nightmare.
And she thinks for a moment “maybe dying would have been better.“
She had fallen straight into the trap of the dreaded fourth Lycan prince.
Now, she is his property, one he has no intention of letting go.
This strange man with an even stranger aura leaves her questioning everything she thought she knew.
Why does he act as if he’s known her forever? And why is he so obsessed with keeping her by his side—like she belongs to him?
Worse, she soon finds herself caught in a dangerous game between the other Lycan princes.
There, in the arms of the Lycan, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about herself… and her fate.

Chapter: Chapter 4: Run!EmmaPoor, poor little girl who cannot move an inch because her bones have failed her. Oh! What would she do now that she can’t move on her own? She’s totally at our mercy isn’t she? She needs our help to clean herself up, walk, talk, or even eat. There’s no way she will be able to escape here. Right? I chuckled at the thought. Right. That’s exactly what I wanted them to think, and I made sure I displayed every necessary theatric to make sure I didn’t show any sign of strength or ability. That was the only way I could make sure they wouldn’t be wary of me. So, I remained curled up in my bed like a sick little thing, too weak to move, too many broken bones to put up a fight. Every time they came to check up on me, I made sure to leave the impression that I had accepted that whatever fate awaited me was the best choice for me.As if. As an orphan, the most important attribute I had was the ability to run when needed. I displayed it at my pack, how much more the enemy’s territory? Lu

Chapter: Chapter 3: DreadEMMA My body felt hot—too hot. A sharp headache hit me immediately I dared to part my eyelids. My gaze rested on a ceiling. Not familiar, but that wasn’t the reason my heart skipped ten beats at once, nor was it the reason my throat suddenly went dry when the rays of sunlight from the window kissed my face. Only one question continued to echo in my mind. Was this the afterlife? The room was so pretty, I was convinced it would was. It had to be. I had never heard of anyone surviving such poison, especially not a wolfless one like me.The last thing I remembered was hitting the water and, feeling myself slowly let go of my consciousness. I couldn’t keep much of what happened after in my mind, but I knew when my body kissed the sea. I knew I didn’t fight when water engulfed my body. My heart was thumping, loudly, I was alive?How was this even possible? I survived that hit? Roots mixed with nightshade? That was deadly for a wolf—how much more for someone like me, who didn’t even

Chapter: Chapter 2. Is this how I die?EMMA I nodded, a small smile plastered on my lips. I understood it all very well. Looking away from Anthony, I turned to the crowd and quietly studied the faces that looked down on me with a sneer.These people whose lives I had saved at different times…Them, or one of their loved ones, kids, or mates, held no pity for me in their cruel gazes. Only discontent, only disdain. Crazy bitch! Someone yelled out. Ungrateful lots. All of them! They felt what was happening was well deserved, that I couldn't be their Luna despite everything. Anthony would never accept me. The worst that would happen was me being forced to remain here as the pack’s healer while someone else ruled by his side as his mate and Luna. I understood how this would play out. How they expected my life to go on from this point, I would live the rest of my life in contempt continuing as the pack scorned healer. I threw my head backwards as laughter erupted from my throat. Dumb, silly girl. How could someone like me

Chapter: Chapter 1. UnwantedEMMAThe night that should have been the best night of my life almost sent me back to the goddess. I was so excited that day; tonight would be the night I would officially be announced as Anthony's mate and Luna. I could barely keep my excitement within me waltzing and humming to myself that evening. As I walked past the hall, a group of high-ranking she wolves brushed shoulders with me."Out of the way, nitwit." The blonde one hollered at me shoving me. I muttered an apology as I pushed past them. No one could ruin my mood. I was the happiest I had ever been in my entire life. "I wonder what Anthony sees in her." Another one snickered. "She thinks she'll become Luna and get to boss us around. She’s delusional," Their laughter echoed through the halls even as the distance between us grew. They didn't care that I could hear them. In fact, they wanted me to."Just wait till tonight,” I said to myself.“You'll see, I will become your Luna." I wanted to yell back at them to gloat, bu
