Chapter: Chapter 104"You know, I am completely fed up with your newfound attitude of coming home late without even giving me as much as a call," Marina whined as Aiden had his dinner. It Was late, about 10 pm in the night and Marina had to stay up, waiting for him to get back home. "I'm having my dinner, baby," he said, his voice low and husky, his eyes fixed on hers with an unnerving intensity. "Let me finish it up before you talk about all the ways you would kill me." He smiled, his lips curling up in a sly, seductive grin that made her heart skip a beat. "Although, I do have a favorite way I'd like to die - in your arms, with your hands wrapped around my throat." She felt a shiver run down her spine as he spoke, his dilated pupils making her heart flutter in her chest. But she refused to back down, keeping up her angry act even as her body betrayed her. "No, I am definitely serious, and I'm not waiting," she said, her voice firm, but her eyes betraying a hint of vulnerability. "Why were you late hom

Chapter: Chapter 103"What are you talking about?" Francesca decided to use the denial route as she didn't know exactly what Aiden had said. Though with the accusing look that she was getting from her dad, she knew that whatever Aiden had told him wasn't good at all. "Don't! Don't do that Francesca." Her dad yelled banging his hands on the table as he folded his fist while gritting his teeth in anger. "Daddy! What's going on? You're just going to believe anything he said because he told you that? Is that what you're doing to do?" Francesca fired back as she walked closer to the table matching her father's glare. "That's brutal," Aiden muttered. "That's your guilty mind talking right there, Francesca. How would you even know he told me anything bad if you hadn't started incoming yourself with bad activities?" Aiden shook his head and chuckled a bit, totally amused by the show that the father and daughter duo were putting on. "That's a little twisted," Aiden muttered again. "Out of everyone Francesca,

Chapter: Chapter 102"It's been a while boy, I'm kind of concerned that you came to see me. I'm actually on my way out so maybe, you would like to reschedule?" Francesca's dad adjusted his tie as he carried his briefcase in one hand ready to leave his office for an important meeting. "No." Aiden simply stated as he relaxed onto the rolling chair and wheeled it to a position where he was blocking the entrance. "What?" "I said no! You're not leaving here until we have a little nice chat, I have other places to be too so I won't waste much of your time as that would technically mean that I'm wasting my time as well." Aiden smirked and Francesca's dad went back to his chair, dropping his briefcase on the top of the table while Aiden wheeled the rolling chair back to the center of the office, I'm front of the table. "Are we going to have a problem?" Aiden queried as he tapped his chin and Francesca's father stared at him for a few seconds before chuckling lightly. "I don't think there is any reason for us

Chapter: Chapter 101"What's going on?" Aiden questioned as he got into his office a day after firing Francesca. The whole company was in a ruckus when he got there and the workers told him that all the Hods had called an impromptu meeting in the board room. A meeting that he wasn't aware of, it only meant that things were going haywire and he raced there. Aiden walked into the conference room, a sense of unease settling in the pit of his stomach. The heads of the different departments were already seated, their faces grim as they murmured to each other. One of them had to clear his throat in a suspicious way to alert the others that their boss was present in the room. "Good morning, everyone," Aiden said, trying to sound calm as he sat down with a lot of poise and confidence going on inside of him. He didn't look slightly disturbed by anything that was going on. "Good morning, Sir." They replied in unison, their voices laced with tension as Aiden perused their faces and expressions. "Is there a reas

Chapter: Chapter 100Francesca and Claw worked in silence, their movements swift and efficient as they disposed of Grim Jack's body. "Well, that's taken care of," Claw said, his voice low. Francesca nodded, her mind already racing with the implications. "Yeah, but we're not out of the woods yet. Aiden is still out there, and he's not going to stop until he gets what he wants and you know that means exposing you."Claw's expression turned grim. "We'll deal with him when the time comes. For now, let's just focus on covering our tracks." They dismissed everyone after Claw forced Amira on a date for some unknown reasons. After 2 days, Francesca walked into the lobby of Aiden's company, her heart pounding in her chest. "Can I help you?" the receptionist asked, her eyes narrowing. "I'm Francesca, the receptionist," Francesca replied, her smile confident. "I've been...out sick. But I'm feeling much better now."The receptionist's expression turned skeptical. "Uh, okay. Well, welcome back, I guess. B

Chapter: Chapter 99Claw dragged Francesca to his main study room and shoved her to the floor while she kept a straight face though it was mixed with hurt. He turned to Francesca, his voice filled with a mix of confusion and urgency. "Francesca, how could you betray me like this? I trusted you with everything." "You betrayed me! You helped Aiden escape, you were with him all these while and I wonder how I failed to realize that." He snarled, glaring grimly at Francesca who had her hands bound. Francesca looked up from where she knelt and stared at him, a look of surprise on her face as she repeated what she had been saying all the way here. "I know you're fed up with hearing this but what the fuck are you talking about, Claw?" She quirked her brows up and he slapped her across "Don't play dumb with me!" Claw spat. "I know it was you who told Aiden about our plans. You're the only one who knew that as a new member of my team. He couldn't have possibly figured out, that he isn't a genie." Claw r

Chapter: Chapter 96Alisa~I froze, my heart pounding in my chest. How could he possibly know about my abilities? My shadow manipulation was a closely guarded secret, one we had taken great pains to conceal. It was a taboo—people with my gift were executed.He turned his head slightly, as if sensing my inner turmoil. "I have known for four months. Ever since you began spying on this castle."What?! My mind raced, weighing my options. If he truly knew what I was capable of, escaping would be futile. "What do you want from me?" I asked cautiously.He took a measured step toward me. "A conversation. Nothing more."I raised an eyebrow, skepticism creeping in. "You expect me to believe that?" I was tempting fate, and I knew it.He sighed softly. "Believe what you will, but if I intended you harm, we wouldn't be speaking right now."A tense silence settled between us. Finally, I mustered the courage to ask, "Why did you save me?"His gaze softened just a fraction. "Because what happened to you should never hap

Chapter: Chapter 95Alisa~I didn't know when I got knocked out, but when I awakened, a cold chill ran down my spine. I was no longer in the barn or on the hard cot of the maid's quarters. The bedding was soft, and the warm light of candles illuminated the room. I looked around, my throat tightening with dread. I did not recognize this place.My heart stopped when I noticed a figure in the darkness, away from the light of the candles. I clutched my chest, willing myself not to look away. I thought I was hallucinating, but when the figure rose from the seat, my heart almost lodged in my throat.By the height and broad frame of the stranger, I could tell it was a man, a huge one.*Kora?* I called for my wolf, but only silence replied. I wasn’t going to be able to shift or disappear.I held my breath as the man came into view, amber eyes glinting in the light, his long shadow casting over me.“B-Beta...” I murmured, unable to fathom who I was seeing.He said nothing, his gaze as piercing as ever.There was

Chapter: Chapter 94Alisa~He lunged at me, but this time I was ready. I slashed the knife out, catching him across the cheek. He roared in pain, stumbling back, and I used the distraction to scramble to my feet. My ribs protested with every breath, but I ignored the searing pain, my mind laser-focused on one thing: survival.The guards closed in around me, forming a circle. There was no way out. My heart pounded in my chest, my blood roaring in my ears. I could feel the darkness around us, the shadows thickening, responding to my fear and anger. I had one shot with Kora weakened now. I had to act now even but I would have to make sure they did not survive. I had nothing to lose.I lunged forward, but the nearest guard caught my arm, twisting it painfully behind my back. I cried out as another grabbed my other arm, forcing me down to my knees. The knife was ripped from my grasp, clattering uselessly to the floor. I struggled against their hold, but my strength was waning, the Lunar Veil still suppressing

Chapter: Chapter 93Alisa~"Be compliant if you want to live," a voice growled close to my ear as he blindfolded me. A shiver ran down my spine as my groggy brain placed the voice. It was not the Beta as I had feared, but none other than the perverted guard, Lou. What the hell did he want from me?*Let me take over,* Kora growled, ready to pounce. *We'll get a chance,* I told her.If I shifted, they would as well, and they would tear Kora limb from limb.I did as he asked and let them take me, knowing full well that I could have him in a headlock and snap his neck in a heartbeat. But I did not know how many of his colleagues were around me, and I would not put it past them to break every bone in my body for killing the bastard.My eyes widened as I felt something prick me and a cold sensation spread across my back. He had injected me.My heart sank as I felt Kora weaken to the point that she could not speak. It meant one thing: I had been injected with wolfbane's inferior relative, Lunar Veil, to sub

Chapter: Chapter 92Alisa---I had to time the return of my pigeon accordingly, but I knew it would not be an easy journey for Elis. That was why I ensured I only communicated with my brother's castle when it was necessary, and this was necessary.I had written the letter last night, and for the first time in this accursed place, I was given a miracle. When I checked the roster, I found out that I had been given yard duty. It was strenuous, and under that hot sun, it would be downright torturous, but it would give me the perfect time to give Elis the letter.I wiped the sweat off my brow, almost groaning from exhaustion as I watched the coast for Elis. There was a huge chance she wouldn’t fly by today, but I had to hold on to hope and take every opportunity. Yet, despite all that, I had to admit that I was distracted. The Beta plagued my mind like a curse. I could not wrap my mind around what had happened that night. Suddenly, nothing made sense. Had he truly seen me? Had what happened just been in my h

Chapter: Chapter 91Raphael~"There is nothing to be worried about, Luna," the Delta said after she was done with her examination."You are in top health, and so is your wolf," she assured.We exchanged looks. "But I can't shift," Lucianne said, worry and frustration evident in her voice.But the Delta's assured expression remained the same. "I know, but in cases like yours, it is to be expected. Wolfsbane is the deadliest poison in all werewolf kind. It kills, as we all know. But not only did you survive it, but your wolf returned to you. It is a rare occurrence, so it's not surprising that you are having trouble letting your wolf take over. Your wolf needs time to recuperate, like you did. Medicine will be prepared for you to aid with the process, but you have nothing to worry about. In due time, it will happen."The crinkle in her brow told me that the Delta's words did little to put her mind at peace.I squeezed her hand when her frown only deepened. "You don't have to worry." I tried to soothe her.

Chapter: Chapter 140CLARATwo years later."Silver, come here," I cooed at my little baby who had just finally taken his first step. "Aww, look at you. All grown up and handsome."I picked him up and caressed his chin while he tugged at my sleeve. "No, don't chew that," I scolded and yanked my sleeve away causing him to cry."Dear heavens, Olivia please take this child away from me."She chuckled and took Silver from me, who immediately stopped crying and started giggling. I scoffed as the both of them started cooing at each other."Might as well be his mother too."Olivia chuckled and sat in front of me. "Luna, he loves you and you know it.""He's stubborn.""He's like his mother," she whispered under her breath, but I heard her loud and clear."How DARE YOU?!" I playfully scolded her. We both sat there, she carried silver in her hands humming softly to him, while I knitted a cute baby cap for him.He was turning two very soon. I was so excited to finally celebrate his birthday! Even though it's a few m

Chapter: Chapter 139CLARAI woke up feeling a bit lightheaded, I looked around confused. Why was I in a hospital?I groaned as I placed my hand on my head, I felt something wrapped around it...a bandage?Wait..that's right.I was kidnapped and-What the fuck happened next?!!!I tried to move, but a sharp pain emitted and I collapsed back on my bed panting hard. I remember Cassandra hitting my hand and I hit my whole body with a tree, but what happened next?But more importantly, where's Roberto, Landon? Storm? Olivia? Mateo?!!!I groaned louder as I forced myself to get up, the hospital room was extremely large, large enough to be a whole chamber.I gently pushed the door open and I gasped when I saw Mateo standing outside. "Mateo!" I sighed in relief."Luna-" he was cut short when I wrapped my arms around him pulling me into a tight hug."Oh, sorry," I blushed and pulled away from him. "I'm sorry, I got excited and it's good to see you. Alive and well."He smiled and nodded. "It's great to see you too L

Chapter: Chapter 138CLARAI struggled against the ropes, my heart racing as I sucked in my breath. Cassandra and Alexander seemed to be deep into their conversation as both of them turned their backs on me.Suddenly, Cassandra went behind me, I could feel the ropes that tied my hands getting tighter."Cassandra, what are you doing?" I gasped, breaking through the surface.She leaned over, her lips bearing touching my ears. "Just making sure," She slid the glass I hid in between my palm. "You know, you aren't very smart."She waved the glass at my face before throwing it into the pool. "How foolish of you, you actually thought you could outsmart us and run away?""Let me go! You won’t get away with this!" I shouted at her."Such fire! But you're not in a position to make demands," She taunted, glancing back to Alexander, who was watching us with a blank expression on his face."I can't wait any longer. Let's proceed," Alexander spoke up, crossing his arms. "The longer we wait, the more unpredictable our l

Chapter: Chapter 137ROBERTOI sat in my office and glanced over at the wall clock opposite me. It's been an hour since I left Clara, but I just had this sudden urge to see her.I left my office and headed to her room. The guard who stood there moved and bowed as he sighted me. "Clara?" I knocked, but no one answered."Where's the Luna?" I asked the guard who stood outside her room."No Alpha, the Luna hasn't returned yet.""She hasn't? It's dark right now. Could she still be outside?"I went back to the courtyard, but she wasn't there. My heart started racing fast as I began to run around the palace but there was no sign of her."Mateo!" I picked up my phone and dialed his number. "Find the Luna!" I said and cut the call.After a few minutes, he ran up to me, panting hard. "Alpha... The Luna hasn't been found yet.""What do you mean you can't find the LUNA?!" I screamed at the top of my voice as Mateo returned, his eyes seemed like they were about to pop out."I left her outside!

Chapter: Chapter 136CLARAI lay on the ground, the world around me began to clear, and panic surged through my veins as I struggled to comprehend what had just happened.The last thing I remembered was the gentle breeze and stars then-"Fuck!" I cried as I held my head, all I could feel right now was a headache, one that could split my brain into two."Roberto?" I called out softly. Where am I? Suddenly, my vision began to fade, and the shadows around me began to close in. I felt the weight of the night pressing down, and just before everything went dark.I caught a glimpse of a figure looming over me."Who are-""You should have listened to your dear husband and stayed in," The voice whispered, sending chills down my spine.That voice..."You're-""Hello, sister."I gasped as the realization hit me. That voice was unmistakably familiar- my elder sister."Why did you-" Betrayal coursed through Mr as I succumbed to darkness, realizing I had been trapped in her twisted game all along."Olivia was right...

I gasped as I rubbed my eyes, I controlled myself not to scream at her."Luna? Why are you in bed?" She stared at me with wide eyes."What do you mean why am I still in bed? I've been in bed ever since you left!" I answered annoyed."I'm so sorry...it's just, I thought I saw you outside the training ground. Just now!""What?" I blinked rapidly, the sleep had now disappeared from my eyes. ~O~Roberto sat on my bed, holding me in his arms as he gently rubbed my belly, for some reason, that calmed me down and I enjoyed it.Olivia stood opposite us, her eyes wide and her hands shaking terribly. While Landon sat on the chair next to my desk."Olivia, repeat what you told the Luna," Roberto said, his voice laced with slight annoyance.She took a deep breath as she cleared her throat.
