Chapter: An evidence /-Isla-/My heartbeat was a thunderous roar in my chest as the servant approached with trembling hands, carrying a small, worn-out video cassette tape.I wanted to scream. To cry. To run.But I stood there frozen, my feet rooted to the floor, as Allen inserted the tape into the player at the center of the room. A large magical screen glowed to life behind the elders' seats, and the room fell into a breathless silence.Then, the static buzzed. The screen flickered.And my father's face appeared.He looked younger. Sharper. Like a teenager. There was no warmth in his eyes. He sat at a desk with a glass of wine in his hand, his other hand lazily twirling a dagger. I didn't recognize the man I was looking at. This wasn't the father who tucked me into bed. This man was cold. Calculating.He looked straight into the camera and smirked.“So this is it, huh? I get to watch my face all day and that's it? Quite lame for an expensive gift. What do I do with you?” he huffed. I figured this was pr

Chapter: The Anger/-Manda-/“Luna.” I turned from her retreating figure to him. His head was still bowed. “I think you are misunderstanding the situation. She meant no harm and I… I would never do anything to betray you…”“Oh really?” I scoffed. “You really think I care what you do? I was only trying to save her from you. You should be ashamed of yourself. You have a mate and yet you are looking towards another woman!” Call me a hypocrite or whatever but who cares? Aaron was my mate! It's not my fault that I happen to have a husband I love very much.He should always wait until I am able to get my husband back from that homewrecker that claims to be his mate.He raised his head slowly and I saw the hurt dancing in his eyes. “I'm sorry.”“What were you even thinking? If you have nothing to do, just stand at my freaking door so I can reach you whenever I want!” I said. “It's just that… last night you…”“Last night I slept with my husband, so what?” I retorted and I could see the raw pain in those haz

Chapter: Cold Feet /-Isla-/ “With all due respect sir, is this a joke?” I asked. “You barely even know me. I only started working for you yesterday and you want me to be your fiance?” Not to mention the fact that I hate his guts! Who goes around making such offers to complete strangers? It doesn't make any sense. “I don't need to know you and you should have no interest in knowing me either. This is business. You need the money, I need a fiance. It's a win-win. Besides, it's just six months and you'll be walking away with millions. We don't ever have to see other again,” he said. I squinted my eyes at him, barely trying to conceal my suspicion. It just seemed very fishy to me. “Why me?” I asked. “Because you're pretty much the only woman in this entire city who isn't trying to get in my bed,” he answered. A laugh escaped me at the cocky response. He must really think he's all that. I mean sure, he did have a handsome face. Raven black hair with beautiful turquoise eyes and sharp features,

Chapter: A bad plan/-Isla-/“You've been so jumpy, Isla. Are you alright?” Elsie asked me. I shook my head. How could I feel alright when all I could were eyes everywhere I went?Like someone was freaking watching me. I wasn't sure how to explain it to Elsie. It didn't even make sense saying I had a panic attack because I felt like someone was watching my every move. “I don't know. I just feel anxious,” I told her. “I guess I'm not yet used to being around so many people.” “I see…” she mumbled, leaning back against the bed frame with furrowed brows. Studying me. Her eyes suddenly brightened, a flint of mischief sparkling in them. Goddess, what is this girl thinking about now?“I know how to fix it!” She was off the bed and by my side at an alarming speed I barely caught. My breath hitched as her hands wrapped around me in a death grip. “We should go to Fratana.”“What is that?” I asked, keeping my eyes on the grin that spread across her face. This was a little too suspicious, wasn't it?“It's a club,

Chapter: The pretence /-Isla-/ We were headed to see his lawyer now so I could sign the contract. After forcing me to pick a dress, it took him another two hours to actually agree on what I wanted to wear. A lot of debate and a hundred insults later, he finally agreed to the white flair dress I picked. The sleeves were so tight that I had to adjust every five minutes. The unsympathetic jerk, of course, insisted that it was either that or nothing at all. I wouldn't have listened to him at all if there were better choices. We finally arrived at the firm and I got out of the car. “You're supposed to wait for me to get the door. How terrible are you at acting?” He complained. “I hope I'm getting ear treatment every month with how much you're nagging,” I retorted and he shot me a thick glare. He stomped past me and I huffed. “I wonder who's the uncouth actor now. You don't know you're supposed to take my hand as we walk in? Like a couple?” He turned around with a blazing look and I smirked inw

Chapter: Misunderstanding ISLA “Don't touch me.” His hand froze mid-air. His gaze dropped slowly and he retracted his hand. He closed the balm and dropped it on the bed. “Will you at least promise to use it?” His flickered back to my face. In their depths, I could see the guilt swirling. A scoff fell off my lips. “If this is your attempt to erase your guilt, then I'll tell you it's pathetic,” I spat. “I will never forgive you for what you did to me.” “My feelings don't really matter, Isla,” he sighed, turning away from me. I stared at his back, contemplating asking him to look me in the face and say whatever he had to say. “I'm not trying to erase what I did. I see it every time I look at you. I know it's going to haunt me forever…” The words made my stomach twist so hard that I almost couldn't breathe. “I just don't want you to look at yourself that way,” he said and my heart squeezed. My stomach clenched. I shook my head rapidly feeling the familiar sting in my eyes. I couldn't let him get to m

Dear Alpha, You Are Not My Type!
“Say you're mine, Raven,” Declan pushed his tongue against my earlobe. I struggled to stiffle the moan fighting it's way to my lips. It was bad enough I was a squirming mess, I couldn't let him win.
“And if I don't?” I struggled to keep my voice steady.
“Then I will bend you over and each time you moan, I will inscribe a letter of my name on your neck, where everyone can see it, wherever you run to, my lovely Raven,” the husky whisper sent shivers down my spine.
I didn't put it past the psychopath to do exactly as he said.
*******
Raven was a trained assassin and pride of the BloodFrang Tribe, until she was tasked with bringing the head of Alpha Declan of the IronClaw Pack. Right when she's about to drive a knife through his heart, she discovers he is her mate and her mission instantly fails.
To makes things worse, Declan captures her and her fiance goes ahead to marry someone else. It doesn't take long for her to realise she had been a pawn in their games and now, she just wants to see them burn.

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

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

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

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!

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.

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
