Novels by Margaux Dynabella

Thank you for reading! I am very, very grateful for the people who reached here. This has been a long journey and also my first novel. It means a lot that you gave this story a chance and stayed until the end. Truly, I appreciate it. If I could track the comments, I would personally thank each and everyone for the support. In all honesty, there are things I regret and wish to have done better during the entire writing process. I do feel guilty about leaving this hanging for a while and what I have lacked in some aspects—I apologize for that. I faced some unexpected hurdles along the way and went through a very tough writer’s block and challenge of picking this up. For what it’s worth, I tried. To everyone who remained patient and still read, thank you. The last few special chapters are for loose ends I may or may not be able to write. I’m not sure if I’d be given another chance to expand on this story with a sequel like I planned in my head so I wrote the extras to at least wrap it

Sebastian’s POVHelios has been the warmest it has ever been.Or at least that’s how it feels to me despite the eternal winter of the North. From afar, I could make out Veronica’s figure. She was crouched down and talking with a group of elders and youngsters alike. They were in a circle around a bonfire at the center of the town square.This has become one of the newest traditions in the kingdom.We’ve always been a pack of deep loyalty and respect to each other—yet the walls are still there. Veronica came to our territory and broke those walls like she did with mine.Suddenly it’s warmer in Helios even in the winter.“Alpha Sebastian,” said in unison by the people who saw me approach.llThe others finally noticed my presence and they all bowed down to me while I stopped and stood behind my wife.I raised my hand to dismiss their gestures and spoke, “Might if I steal the Luna from you?” I asked with a grin.Veronica looked over her shoulder and met my eyes. “Well, I guess my escort

Third Person’s POVNew Helios continues to thrive and grow under the leadership of the Rozeiros triplets.The three alphas resumed their duties once they came back to Aethiuopia after the debacle in their brother’s kingdom. They fell into their usual routine like they never left. Rowan is currently stuck in a court meeting with their officials, discussing the reports to catch up on what they missed when they were away and also reviewing the postponed works that need their approval—such tasks that the other two hate and find tedious so inevitably, it falls on him.Declan said he’ll be organizing their archives and artifacts but somehow, the silence and peacefulness of rows and rows of books and objects lulled him to sleep in one a corner; it was always his excuse though. In reality, he can start snoring anywhere he could consume space. Meanwhile, Nolan, ever the unruly and mischievous of the three, was currently climbing a balcony in the middle of the day. He jumped to hide behind o

Third Person’s POVThe moon hid itself from the world tonight.The kingdom of Helios was peaceful, oblivious of the scenes that were unfolding in the shadows. Their king and queen just left a few days ago for a short vacation. The Beta was left in charge to monitor the pack. Thankfully, winter has subsided a bit these days.In the dark of the dead night, only the iridescent blue glow of the arch illuminated the woods. Behemoth wolves lie snoring by the foot of the portal.A silhouette sat perched on the branch of a nearby tree, golden eyes glared at the opened entrance, waiting for something… for someone.The winter wind howled into the eerie silence. Af

Veronica’s POV I have never been happier—we have never been happier than this day. Without restrictions and inhibitions, we got to enjoy ourselves away from everyone but us. Along the way, Sebastian tackled me to the ground and we rolled over, messing around the snow. We crossed to the uncharted and unclaimed lands of the North. Nothing really is around except forests. It took a while until I reached the place I was trying to show him. It was already sunset when we arrived. My wolf slowed down and stopped before the clearing. Sebastian followed and halted beside me, gawking at the view in front of us. We shifted back to our human forms as the sun slowly descended, casting an orange hue to the sky. The snow stops around here. The forest is lush although this is the last stretch of the continent before opening to the large body of water. “I found this by accident during our hunting competition,” I said looking at the view. “We can’t really go far and take a break yet but this

Veronica’s POVAfter telling him my plan, I parted ways with Keldor once we reached the center of the forests.Sensing my environment, I focused to locate where Sebastian is through our bond. The moment I opened my eyes, I started dashing through the trees and reached where he was in the woods. When I started to make out his figure using my heightened sight, I slowed down to cloak my presence. I wanted to ambush him.Sebastian was just finishing up, removing a sharpened stick from a deer while I hid behind a trunk of the nearby tree. I smiled to myself as he looked clueless. Then, I prepared to attack him. However, when I looked in his direction again, he was nowhere to be found.“What the…” I stepped out slowly and sensed my environment, scanning my surroundings.He’s still near, I could feel it through our connection yet I can’t find a trace of him anywhere. As I turned around to the direction of the tree where I hid, he suddenly appeared in front of me.“I see I found a sneaky

Clover’s POVThey say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach… which is good, because I make really awesome beef stew.“I thought you’re just a maid but you're honestly a good cook,” Cuatro comments with a swallow. “Really? Do you think the Boss will like it?” I asked with a smile and leaned forward on the table, watching him wolf down on his plate.He lifted his head and said, “I haven’t tasted a home-made food in years—this hits different… Nice job, Fork!” He gave me a grin and a thumbs up.I was about to be flattered but my forehead creased at his last remark. “Fork?”Cuatro took a big gulp. “Yeah. Fork. I saw what you did in the security cams, it’s your new nickname,” he chuckled and took another bite. He raised the fork he was using and inspected it. “Never knew our utensils here are that strong. It’s a new discovery thanks to you.” He beams despite his full mouth.I instantly pulled the plate away from him and glared. “I will never cook for you again!”“Aw, c’mon! I’m j

Clover’s POV I transitioned to my newest job pretty quickly. Well, that’s what I say to myself at night. I’m just gonna pretend that this is work and not a bargain for my life. Not to mention, I have no other options. I’m not specially gifted in a lot of areas so I have to use my ordinary brain to come up with a plan if I want to get out of here. “Shipment’s being moved tomorrow night. Do you think the rat would leak information again? Uno doesn’t seem to prioritize finding them,” I heard Cuatro say, munching on his chips, while I pretend to clean the nearby end table. It was Seis who responded to him without lifting his eyes from the book he was reading. “It’s only a matter of time before we narrow down who it is. Besides, there’s a lot of pressing matters going on lately.” “Yeah, I guess…” Cuatro chuckled. “The Talons are definitely not going to sit quietly. They would want such a big haul back. I’m sure they didn’t get the crates for a cheap price.” I lifted the vase, busyi

Clover’s POVThe new chapter of my miserable escapades begins today.“This way,” Dos instructed, gesturing down the hall, after he picked me up from my assigned room.I followed closely behind.“First rule: don’t wander where you’re not told to. You're only allowed in certain areas of the mansion. Keep that in mind,” he says stoically.I nodded, pursing my lips.At least I won't be suffocated in the cramp room anymore.And honestly, the bed space they gave me is something I couldn't have afforded in town. Rents are too high lately—to the point that my captors gave me a better room than my own old house.“You can go here in the kitchen. You're not allowed to cook unless you're asked to but you can access the food to feed yourself whenever you want,” Dos dismissively showed me around.“You should avoid the dining hall, though. Just eat in your room… or in the living room we passed earlier. But don't hang around when the others are here,” he adds.“Got it,” I replied enthusiastically.Th

Phoenix’s POVThis girl is full of surprises, to say the least.Looking back to her over my shoulder, I asked, “What are you dragging your feet for? Follow me.”She looked up with eyes full of hesitation. “Where are you taking me?”“Out,” I simply said.“You’re taking me out?!” She hysterically exclaimed, “I’m still young!”At that moment, I had the urge to let out the biggest sigh of my life.I just know she’s gonna be a headache from here on. Especially with the setup I recently decided for her.“Out of this holding room,” I explained. “Unless you want to stay, of course. You can be locked up here forever.”The girl paused and thought about it deeply. She looks like a grumbling kitten with her creased forehead. I don’t think she could ever harm even an insect.“I thought you said that we should just get this over with,” I added. “That’s what I’m planning to do: end this.”Turning my back to her, I headed towards the door in quick strides. I knew she was gonna follow.“Wait…” she cha

Clover’s POVI slam my trusty fork on the floor. This is the moment where I need to decide whether I should preserve my pride and shame or my own life. It should be an easy choice, right? Except it’s not.“Oh my god,” I groaned, dragging both hands down my face. “I can’t believe I’m really gonna do this…”Biting my nails and bouncing my crossed legs, I gulped. I tried what options I could Breaching the lock and climbing the vent isn’t realistically as possible as television makes them out to be—especially when it’s quite obvious that the syndicate I’m dealing with lives up to what actual mafias are.So with fierce determination, I’ve made up my mind. I marched towards the door and knocked loudly. Then, I screamed, “I demand to see Uno!”Hopefully, this room is not sound-proofed. And now that my head is clearer of foolish desperation, I realize they are most likely monitoring me to some extent. I’m sure I’ll get the message out if I just loudly ask for it.“Tell Uno to see me!” I y

Clover’s POV Perhaps those hours spent lazily binge-watching spy flicks and hero films are not such a waste after all. This is my vindication—or supposedly, that is what I thought. But I just really have to get my reality check every now and then. “Oh, come on!” I groaned as I crouched by the door, trying to pry open even just a little of the seams with the fork I used for my day’s meal (they were merciful enough to feed me decent food). The metal panel was hard to make it budge and I swear the points of this utensil will poke holes in my palm when this is done. Still, I’m not giving up. I’ve wiped my tears and put on my big adult suit. My unfortunate life has taught me that no one is coming to save me. I have to do things on my own like always. Also, I refuse to lay here in the pool of my tears: if I’ll be dying soon, I sure am gonna die trying. However, despite the numerous pep talks I tell myself, it doesn’t automatically make things easier for me. “Why can’t you just co
