Chapter: The End?~ISLA~It was finally the day Roman was taking us home.My mind was elsewhere buzzing with nerves, excitement, and that strange, overwhelming flutter that came whenever I was near him.Even though he told me that he had settled everything in the pack and they were waiting eagerly for me to return, I was still so nervous. "You don't have to be so nervous. We can stay here if you want," Roman assured me with a smile. "And rule over your pack from here? Wise thoughts, Alpha," I taunted and he laughed heartily.Aaron appeared suddenly, stepping toward Elsie with a grin that seemed almost conspiratorial. “Hey,” he said lightly, “why don’t you ride with me? Give them some privacy.”Elsie blinked at him, then blushed. "Just you and I?" She still had a massive crush on him and she was doing a terrible job hiding it. "Yes, you and I," he chuckled. "I'm sure you don't want to be listening to all of this." "I guess we can leave, if it's not a bother," Elsie meekly said, a little nervously.

Chapter: A Proposal~ISLA~The next morning, I woke up feeling quite sore from the night before.It was the first thing I noticed, the dull ache in my body, the warmth of last night still clinging to me.I opened my eyes fully and saw Roman lying beside me, propped slightly on one arm, watching me. His gaze softened the instant my eyes fluttered open, and suddenly I was painfully aware of everything, how close he was, how exposed I felt, how tangled my emotions still were.I felt flushed immediately.Heat crept up my neck, across my cheeks, settling deep in my chest. I looked away, suddenly shy, suddenly unsure of what this morning meant after everything that had happened between us.I pushed myself up, clearing my throat. “I… I’m going to have my bath,” I muttered, already swinging my legs off the bed, desperate for space, for cold water.I barely made it two steps.His hand wrapped gently but firmly around my wrist, tugging me back. I stumbled, landing against the mattress again as my heart jumped.“W

Chapter: PleasureISLA The minute his fingers made contact with my skin, a shiver ran through my skin. His lips pressed gently against mine, a slow kiss. Teasing, testing, but soon, the gentleness faded away. . My hands instinctively went to his chest as heat coursed through me. Every nerve in my body was screaming for more, and I felt myself melting against him. Even though I was a little anxious moments ago, every form of hesitation faded away as our bodies collided. He jacked me up, my legs instantly wrapping around him without breaking the kiss. The world narrowed to the heat between us, to the way his breath hitched when I tightened my hold, to the faint tremor I felt beneath his steady hands. His forehead rested against mine for a heartbeat, as h broke off the kiss briefly. Our lips were still touching, giving us both a chance to breathe, to reconsider. But his eyes, dark, intent, searching, told me everything he didn't say. It felt like he was bare before me. “Isla,” he murmured. The

Chapter: I WANT YOU~ISLA~ Roman was the first to pull back. “I’m sorry,” he said immediately, his voice low and strained. “I shouldn’t have done that.” Before I could even process them, he took another step back. Then another. Putting distance between us, like he was forcing himself to remember some invisible line he wasn’t allowed to cross. “I won’t cross your boundaries again,” he added quietly. “I promise.” And then he turned. Just like that, he walked away, his long strides carrying him out of my reach, out of my space, out of whatever fragile moment had just shattered between us. “Roman…” I started, but the word died in my throat. He didn’t look back. I stood there alone in the parking lot, my heart racing, my lips still tingling, my emotions a tangled mess I couldn’t begin to sort through. I didn’t even stop to think about it. I just drove, hands tight on the steering wheel, heart pounding, emotions tangled and messy and loud in my chest. By the time I got to back to the peach house, I w

Chapter: Longing~Isla~ It had been one whole week. Seven long, dragging days, and I was moody as hell. I noticed it in the smallest things first, the way I snapped at nothing, the way my patience wore thin faster than usual, the way everything felt dull and heavy no matter how hard I tried to shake it off. I told myself it was work stress, exhaustion, anything but the truth. It was the damn gifts. They were gone like they never existed and it was all in my head. No flowers waiting for me. No notes at all. None of those thoughtful gifts to brighten up my day. Nothing. And I hated how much I noticed. I kept catching myself glancing at my car when I closed from work, half-expecting to see something on the hood, something tucked carefully where only I would notice it. Every time there was nothing, my chest tightened just a little more. Had he really given up this time? The thought should have relieved me. It was exactly what I had told him to d. But instead of peace, all it brought was this stra

Chapter: A Rose for painROMAN After she was long gone, after her car had disappeared completely from sight, I finally stepped out of mine. The temperature felt colder than it should have as I crossed the short distance and bent down. The flower I gave her lay there on the ground, just as she had thrown it out. I picked it up slowly, wondering why she sent out a single rose from the entire bouquet. That was when I noticed the folded paper wrapped around it. A letter. For me. An unexpected warmth spread through my chest. For a brief moment, I just stood there, staring at it. Nervousness crept in, unfamiliar and unwelcome, mixing strangely with excitement. as I tried to guess the possible contents of the paper. Was this her finally giving me a chance? Did I finally get he forgiveness? Maybe not but the thought of starting things over with her made my heart race. I unfolded the paper carefully, my breath held without me even realizing it, my mind already racing ahead. For just a second, I let myself

Chapter: Chapter fifty fourFlashbackFreya stepped into Marcie's room with the juice she ordered."Your Highness, your drink" She informed and Marcie took the glass from the tray."What would you do with a hundred pieces of silver?" Marcie asked. Freya looked around to confirm Marcie's question was indeed directed at her."I... Silver is not allowed in the land.......""But you humans use it out there, don't you? You don't plan to remain a slave forever, do you?".Freya bit her lip before mumbling a response, "No, Your Highness. A hundred pieces of silver is a lot. There are so many things I could do with that"."Good. You know what happened earlier with the doctors" Marcie took a seat this time. Freya nodded slightly wondering what it had to do with the money."Good. I'm sure you're also aware that the injection will be tested in a few hours"."Yes but....""I have a job for you. If you get it right then you will get two hundred pieces of silver" Marcie studied her expression closely before adding, "I want you

Chapter: Chapter fifty three"We won't have you waste any more time. Test the injection" Iyaki commanded. The doctor looked frightened. He was visibly trembling before the Elders. The rogue before him was growling and gnashing its teeth at him. He swallowed hard."Should we use force? You might not like it" The second elder spoke."I am telling the truth. I was sent from my pack to work.....""Nobody cares where you come from. All doctors must be tested and proven worthy before being assigned to the Alpha. We do not doubt your abilities, we only want you to show us" The third elder spoke calmly."A-Alright..I-I can do t-that. I'll j-just inject it...." He stuttered and the Elders nodded in encouragement. He took a step towards the chained animal. It snarled at him and his heart stopped. What if it goes wrong?Princess Kimberly had given him this with specific instructions to inject only the Alpha. Thinking of it now, he felt like a fool. He should have questioned her. What if it was dangerous? He shut his eyes, t

Chapter: Chapter fifty twoFreya was shocked to see Valentine in the east wing. Since the night she went into the tower, Freya had assumed Eric had ripped her apart, apparently, she was wrong.She looked around quickly for a place to hide before Valentine noticed her. The only escape was the room she came out from. She sighed and entered the Queen's Chambers.Queen Estel was lying gracefully on the couch, with the maids massaging her feet. Her eyes landed on Freya instantly."Why are you still here?" Queen Estel asked distastefully. Freya swallowed hard."Actually It saw Valentine and I couldn't let her see me here" Freya rushed her words."Is that so? She's out of the tower already?" Queen Estel smiled."Yes, your h-highness" Freya stuttered nervously."That was quick," Gyai chuckled."Yes, Gyai. Very quick. Yet that makes it even better" Queen Estel said gleefully. Freya looked between them, trying to understand the conversation."Stop staring, you little swine" The Queen snapped and Freya quickly lowered her

Chapter: Chapter fifty one Valentine woke up with a bright smile. She glanced at the man sleeping beside her and her smile grew wider. She leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips.His arms wrapped around her instantly, making her grin like an idiot.She laid back tracing his features with her fingers. He looked so relaxed and...beautiful. Well, Eric had always been beautiful but now it looked different, almost angelic."Damn, Val. You're so whipped" She giggled. Slowly, she took off his arm and got out of bed. She needed clothes and food and admiring Eric all day wouldn't get any of that.She walked out of the room and found her way out of the tower. The guards seemed surprised to see her but she merely smiled at them and headed for the servant's quarters.Maya was the first person she saw as soon as she stepped in."Valentine! You're still alive?!" Maya exclaimed, wrapping her instantly in a suffocating hug."C-Can I-I b-breathe a l-little?" Valentine choked out and Maya released her instantly with an apologe

Chapter: Chapter fifty "I'm getting married?! Why?!" Aldric half-yelled. King Edmund simply sighed and took a seat beside him."Sit, Aldric" He spoke. Aldric was reluctant at first but eventually sat."It wasn't my decision" The king started."Obviously!" Aldric spat. The king shot him a look but chose not to comment."The Elders will have a meeting with you after you're properly rested to discuss the marriage"."They can't just impose their decisions on me. I am old enough to decide to marry or not" Aldric frowned."Don't think your promiscuity has gone unnoticed. You've laid with almost all female servants and you don't expect them to watch their distress silently" King Edmund stated."Is this about Valentine?" Aldric frowned."Is she your only victim?" The King threw back. Aldric scoffed."I'm glad you know the answer to that.""I'm not ready to marry anyone other than my mate," Aldric said defiantly."You prefer to go about defiling potential mates of others. This marriage does not stop you from being w

Chapter: Chapter forty nine"Who killed Alana?" Iyaki asked and Eric's eyes widened with hurt and accusation. Iyaki scolded himself inwardly."You think I killed her? Do you believe I played a part in her death? I loved her, Yaki! How could you even....." Iyaki quickly placed a hand over his chest. Eric stiffened though his eyes were filled with rage."Calm down, Eric, calm down" He spoke softly and Eric's harsh breath began to relax. He did however shove the other man's hand away."I'm sorry I misinterpreted the situation but I assure you I have never for once considered you a murderer" Iyaki apologised. His tone gave out his remorse and Eric seemed to buy that."I'm not sure I want you to look at me that way. Even though I have indeed committed a few murders of my own kind" Eric spoke with a bitter smile. Iyaki's eyes narrowed."We understand you weren't in your right frame of mind and no one blames you for that. We can only mourn the losses and hope there won't be a repeat"."You have too much hope" Eric chuc

Chapter: I Love You/-Raven-/We lay upside down facing each other with the sheets sprawled over our bodies. Our bodies were covered in sweat and we were panting heavily.“No one said our wedding night was going to be so long,” I muttered. I could barely feel my legs but my core was burning from six rounds of lovemaking. Declan smirked at me, “Our honeymoon would be even longer.” “Where are we going?” I asked him. “Anywhere of your choice,” he said and I shrugged. “I don't know, we could tour. Or just stay here…”“Don't even suggest that,” he cut me short. “Those elders always have one problem or the other when they set eyes on me. Unless you want your husband to be working during his honeymoon, I suggest you cancel all plans of staying here.” I chuckled. “You are so serious about avoiding work.” “Because I want to spend time with my wife. That is perfectly logical. Anyone can understand that,” he said and I laughed. “Of course. Like I don't have duties as Luna.” He frowned, “Cha we put this whol

Chapter: The wedding /-Francesca-/I admit it. It was pointless. Fighting for someone who didn't clearly want me. But the truth was that it didn't really matter what Declan wanted; I was giving up for Raven's sake. Right from the moment she called me sister on the roof, I couldn't bring myself to hurt her in any way. That was why I was humbly accepting defeat. It was her big day and whether I liked it or not, I was going to be happy for her.The IronClaw Courtyard had never looked more radiant.White blossoms bloomed from enchanted vines that shone under the moonlight. A carpet of silver petals led the way down the aisle, which glowed faintly as if the moon itself had kissed every inch. The air was thick with magic, anticipation, and, despite myself, love.I stood just beyond the arched entryway, my hands clasped in front of me, fingers trembling only slightly.The pack had gathered in full. Alphas from allied clans, betas in full ceremonial garb, omegas glowing with awe. Everyone had come to witness

Chapter: Clingy/-Raven-/“You smell nice…” Declan muttered, hugging me from behind out of nowhere. I was in the dressing room at the . designer's shop, trying out my wedding dress. “You're not supposed to be here,” I whispered. “Who let you in?” He chucked mischievously. “I don't need permission to see my woman whenever I feel like.” “Don't tell me you came here, all the way from the palace…”“Because I missed you? Fuck yes,” he interrupted. I couldn't believe my ears, yet as much as I wanted to scold him, I found myself smiling like a fool.“You're an Alpha, don't you have duties to perform?” I asked him. He took a step closer and I backed away. Another step and moved back. His lips curled into a mischievous smile. “You know if you keep moving back, you're going to trap yourself between me and the wall.” That brief second when I glanced to see if I was that close to the wall, he pin me to the wall and caged me in a chokehold.“Oops,” he smirked. “I got you.” I didn't even know how to react a

Chapter: The SkinwalkerTwo Weeks Later/-Francesca-/They were so happy. Raven and Declan. After everything they've been through, it was only right for them to celebrate, right? Have some rest and finally live the good life they deserved. IronClaw deserved a break. That was the thought of many wolves, not mine. I assumed you against someone as powerful as Amelia would have been enough to severe whatever ties Raven had with Declan. I hid for so long. Playing the coward. Allowing everyone to have their shots and when the chances were high, I walked in their skin, hoping to complete the mission and finally get the man I deserve. Yet every single time. Every. Single. Time. That little redhead found a way to beat me at my own game. I struck a deal with Azaiah to get her out, it failed, I set her up, it failed, I walked in her skin but it took only minutes for him to recognize me. All the while I played sweet little Francesca, pretending my elf blood was useless and magic almost non-existent, hoping I cou

Chapter: Show me your flames/-Raven-/The air smelled fresher than it had ever been. Being back to IronClaw felt like a dream. With Diane and Amelia gone, things were beginning to fall into place. The Elders regained themselves and the darkness looming over the pack was finally gone. Azaiah couldn't come back with us. He insisted on taking back the bodies of the men he lost in battle back to the mountains. I offered to help but he declined. He insisted I take Declan home and here we were. Francesca and Othelia were waiting eagerly for us and beside them was my very old friend. “Greetings, Alpha!” They all bowed and Declan merely nodded. I don't know the level of damage Diane did to him but I hoped with her death, the curse she put on him would also disappear. The way his body felt cold against mine was making me skeptical. The guards immediately rushed to help him off me. “Tim!” I exclaimed, hugging him before I even realized it. Francesca frowned beside me and I understood her jealousy. She expected I wou

Chapter: Victory at last/-Raven-/I didn’t breathe.Couldn’t.Declan’s body jerked unnaturally, his head tilting like a marionette on frayed strings. His mouth opened, but the sound that spilled out wasn’t his voice.It was mine.“I should’ve killed her when I had the chance.”My own words. A whisper I’d spat to myself as I held Ava's corpse in my arms. How the hell did she…?“No…” I stepped back, heart thudding so loud it felt like it echoed in the cavern.Azaiah's joints twisted, bones popping, contorting in ways no living body should. His eyes were a soulless abyss. Whatever spark once made him Azaiah had been stripped clean, replaced with something cold. Controlled.“Do you like it?” Diane cooed, her voice sweet and venom-laced. “It’s not possession. That’s so... temporary. I rethreaded them. Blood, bone, and memory.”She cocked her head, watching me with childish delight.“You’re lying,” I snapped, more to myself than to her. “Declan’s still in there. Azaiah too. I’ll get them back.”“You think love can
