A Blessing in Disguise
“I Marcus Brennon of Shadowmoon, hereby reject you as my mate,” he declared with finality. “Not only are you a disgrace to me, but you are a curse to this entire pack. I do not wish to be associated with such bad luck.”
Marcus stood before me, his voice extremely cold as if we didn't just share a special bond a few hours back. As Marcus turned to leave, the pain of his rejection sliced deeply through me. I stumbled to my feet, my limbs feeling weak under the weight of the broken bond.

Chapter: How's Work So FarI padded down the stairs, my feet bare on the cool wood while holding my sneakers, the scent of freshly brewed coffee and warm bread wafting up to greet me. The clock on the wall read 5:00 AM, and I had just enough time to grab a quick breakfast before heading to the bakery. I had been working at the bakery for a day now, and I loved this early morning shift. The smell of freshly baked bread and the quiet morning atmosphere were now my favourite things.As I entered the kitchen, I was greeted by the warm smiles of the housekeeper and James. Mike was sitting at the table, his eyes fixed on his laptop, his face bathed in the pale blue light of the screen."Good morning, Bella," the housekeeper said, getting up to pour me a cup of coffee. Her voice was warm and welcoming, and I was grateful for her."Good morning," I replied, taking a seat next to James. I smiled faintly at him, and he smiled back. With this family, it was still hard to tell who was friendlier. They all seemed to have i

Chapter: I Can't SleepThe clock on the wall read 2:47 AM, and the silence of the night was oppressive, like a thick blanket smothering the life out of me. I tossed and turned, my mind racing with thoughts of the new job, the new town, and the new family I was living with. I missed my old life terribly. I had only arrived a day ago, and everything was still overwhelming. And I couldn't sleep peacefully without dreaming of my chasers or my father's death. With a sigh, I threw off the covers and swung my legs over the side of the bed, letting the cool air hit my skin. The room was stifling, the air thick with the scent of old books and stale air. Don't get me wrong, I love the scent of books and stuff, but not now. I have a lot on my mind I just need peace. I stood up, my eyes adjusting to the darkness, and padded over to the window. Fortunately, the moon was full outside.I felt a bit of nostalgia as I gazed out at the peaceful scene. I had always loved gardens, and this one was no exception. The family, th

Chapter: Nice To Meet You Bella After a quick bath, I stood before the antique mirror in the guest room, smoothing out my clothes. Unfortunately, Eira didn't pack any dresses for me, only two pieces each of black tights, pants, t-shirts, undies and a sweater. But I totally understand her, there was no room for all those corset dresses and all the heads turning little numbers. I just hope this family is not too strict when it comes to dinner dressing, as I'm about to rock out with pants and a sweater. And just to avoid curiosity and any questioning I decided to keep a beanie on to hide my hair which seemed to be getting more snowy with each passing day, sometimes it seemed to be even glowing. The room itself looked Royale, with simple but elegant patterns on the wallpaper and a plush, velvet-covered armchair in one corner. I felt a little out of place especially remembering the grand dinner table I found earlier and all the antiques, but at least Annie had told me to feel at home.I took a deep breath, quickly runn

Chapter: The MansionAfter clearing the counters and making sure that everything was on point, Annie finally locked up the bakery while Brian and Luu waited with us. I could tell by Brian's body language that he was still angry and had no intention of hiding it. Anyway, Annie led me towards the one-way street leading north of the bakery. As we walked in the hazy darkness, my mind raced with questions. Why were we going so far from the bakery? “Didn't she say she lived upstairs?”I wondered inwardly, but I didn't want to bother her yet, so I just followed them. Though there were a few street lights, it was clearly not enough as we walked in a dim path. On a normal day, I could have channelled my abilities and used the eyesight of my wolf to see clearer in the darkness. But I couldn't risk it, not when I wasn't even sure how long my freedom would last. I planned to keep Elsie hiding for as long as I could. For now, I'll make it a point to learn the art of being a normal human. After walking about 5 miles

Chapter: A New JobThe woman’s expression softened, a hint of sympathy in her eyes. “I’m Annie,” she said, extending a hand towards me. “It’s nice to meet you, Annie,” I said, shaking her hand. “I promise I won’t disappoint you if you give me a chance. And not to brag, I'm a hard worker, I can keep up with work long hours, without messing anything up.”Annie rolled her eyes and said, “Don't they all say that when scamming us?” We both laughed and Annie’s expression was thoughtful again. “We’ll see about that. But for now, I suppose we could use an extra pair of hands.” She motioned towards the table, where a stack of pans waited to be cleaned. “Why don’t you start by cleaning those? Then we'll talk properly later and I'll get to show you around.”I nodded quickly and rushed towards the pans, I couldn't believe my luck and for the first time in a long time, a flicker of hope started rising in my chest. I silently vowed to myself that I wouldn't mess this up anyhow. As the hours passed, I worked tireles

Chapter: The BakeryAfter running for what seemed like an eternity, I eventually saw the outskirts of the human settlement, Eira had told me about. I wanted to crash in the woods for some time, just to scan and observe from a safe distance but at the same time, I understood that the pack and possibly the recent rival wolf were thoroughly searching for me and might soon catch up. So I had no choice but to try and blend in with everyone. And possibly find a job to sustain me ASAP. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even notice that it was already nighttime. Some things are normal in wolf packs but in human settlements, it might be totally the opposite and I wasn't about to land in another guard's custody on my first day here. So I moved swiftly and silently through the outskirts, my feet barely touching the ground. My eyes darted from shadow to shadow, looking for a place to hide until dawn, when the townspeople would wake up and hopefully provide me with the cover I desperately needed.Luck
