Chapter: CHAPTER 114Asher's POVI sat still, my back against the low wall of the rooftop, eyes locked on Dante’s unconscious body. The moon still hung heavy in the night sky. Its light made his skin look almost translucent, like he could shatter at any moment. I swallowed hard. Dean was pacing in my head, snarling, restless. "You let him see us," he growled. "Let me finish what you can't.""No," I snapped mentally, gritting my teeth.“I love him, but he is a human, he is a threat. He saw everything. He saw me."I clenched my fists against the cold floor. “He is not saying anything. I will make sure of it.”Dean howled again, pushing against the inside of my skull, frustrated and violent. But I did not move. I couldn’t. The image of Dante’s eyes widening in horror before he collapsed still lingered. I had not meant for this to happen. Not like this.I exhaled slowly, trying to calm myself down. The full moon's pull was fading now. I was fully back to my human form, my breathing was ragged, with sweat cl

Chapter: CHAPTER 113Dean's POVThe shift was glorious. Finally! Every time I took over, it always feels like liberation. A full moon would plaster on the sky, making the environment just right and the energy that pulses through me is raw, ancient and of course intoxicating. Tonight was no different, except maybe... better. Because Asher was weak. He had gotten drunk, his human mind dulled by the after-party, the thrill of a match won. It makes slipping through so easy. He did not even fight me.I stretched my limbs as fur exploded across muscle and bone. My paws touched the cool rooftop gravel with a satisfying crunch, my claws clicked, my tail flicked in satisfaction. The air was crisp. Chill. But it did not bite me. It welcomed me with open arms. And then, the scent hits me.Dante. Why did he of all people have to be on the rooftop tonight, alone…. And vulnerable. He looked concerned having seen me come out of Asher. I stared at him, I could barely hold myself back. His scent was maddening. I saw

Chapter: CHAPTER 112Dante's POVThe sky was bright and beautiful tonight. The darkness did not consume the town and it would not do that this night. A pale, stretched moon hung lazily in the sky, glowing cold and indifferent. The kind of night where the world felt still, too quiet. And yet, here I was, again, on the rooftop. My stupid makeshift safe haven. Blankets pulled up to my chest, hoodie zipped tight, and breath fogging in the air like ghosts.It was getting harder to lie to myself.I kept saying I was fine. That Nora’s breakup text did not get to me. That I had not read it a hundred times, looking for some nuance I missed. That her sudden, effortless exit had not left a hole I did not know how to patch.But truth was? I had been going crazy. Everything I did the last few days had been, weird. Cleaning my side of the room with obsession. Skipping meals. Sleeping all day and staying up all night. Snapping at people who asked me what was wrong.

Not the hum of the dorm’s radiator or the faint scent of fabric softener clinging to the sheets I laughed on. No, it was warmth. Deep, layered warmth that wrapped around me like safety. My heart stumbled. I sat up slowly, blinking into the soft morning light.I was in my bed. My dry bed. And I was wearing clean clothes. The hoodie I had on was not mine. It smelled like Asher's. The memory hit me in fragments. The rooftop. The rain. My fingers so cold I could not feel them anymore. My pride burning even as my body trembled. I remembered pushing him away, snarling at him through clenched teeth, telling him to leave me alone. Or did I? I could not recall everything, but I know for a fact I had tried to fight his help. And then, I remembered arms. Strong arms. Steady hands. He did not yell back, just said shut up and lifted me carefully. He carried m

I bolted back down the stairs, two steps at a time, water dripping from both of us. My arms ached, but I did not stop.When I burst into our room, I kicked the door shut behind me and carried him straight to the bed."Stay with me," I whispered.I walked up to the door and locked it. Dante lay curled on his side in my hoodie, chest rising and falling in shallow breaths. Water pooled on the sheets and hoodie, but the chill had receded. I pressed a hand to his shoulder.“Dante.”His eyes fluttered open, confused and distant. A catch in his breath.“You are soaked,” I murmured. His teeth chattered. I swung my legs over the bedside, scooped him up carefully, and carried him into the bathroom.The tiles were cold, but I did not hesitate. I stripped him of wet clothes, set them aside in a heap.

My jaw was starting to ache from the smile I was giving. But I did not stop. The energy buzzing in my veins as I walked back to the dorm was electric.My phone would not stop vibrating, messages, mentions, memes, and very importantly praise from the team group chat. I had my AirPods in, laughing along with the guys on a voice call."Asher, bro! What was going through your mind when you got the ball for that third goal?" Malik asked, his voice full of awe.I grinned, slowing my steps. "Honestly? I saw that gap between the defenders, and everything else just went quiet. It was like... tunnel vision you know.

That Was No Prince: She fooled the Lycanis
For twenty-four years, Alpha Draegon longed for a son, but the Moon Goddess had other plans. When his wife bore a daughter, he defied fate and raised her as a boy, hiding her true identity from the world.
On Valen’s eighteenth birthday, the feared Lycanis warriors descend upon their kingdom, demanding a male from every family—or war will follow. To protect her secret, Draegon prepares to offer himself in her place. But before dawn breaks, Valen is gone. She has surrendered herself to the Lycanis.
Taken to the High Dark Mountain—a cursed land where no man has ever survived—Valen learns the terrifying truth. The Lycanis are on the brink of extinction, and the men taken captive are meant for one thing: to breed. The strongest among them will become warriors, the weakest will become slaves. To her horror, Valen is both strong and dangerously beautiful, making her the most desired among the Lycanis females.
But one man’s attention is deadlier than all their King. A monstrous warrior feared by all, he chooses Valen as his personal guard, unwittingly drawn to the one person who holds his fate in her hands. Valen struggles to conceal the truth because he is bound by duty, tormented by forbidden dreams, and forced to endure his darkest indulgences.
Yet, secrets have a way of unraveling. And when war erupts, a single spear thrust reveals the one truth that could change everything—Valen is no man.
Now, the King must decide: will he cast her aside as a traitor, or will he claim the only soul that can soothe his madness?

Chapter: SOLD BODYValen stood at the doorway, silent as a stone, watching the two guards carefully lay Rhydian down on his massive bed. His body had returned to normal, no longer the snarling beast that had rampaged through the whole place. But his eyes remained shut ever since he came back to himself. Valen stepped forward, his heart pounding. "Be gentle with him," he said, almost in a whisper. The guards nodded and bowed as they exited, leaving him alone with the unconscious king. During his beastly moment, he had injured himself numerous times. It must have been because of the struggle. There were marks all over his body, which of course had been cleaned up, and bandages to avoid infection.Poor king. This must be what he was facing in secret. A terrible life. He lowered himself beside the bed, his gaze moving over Rhydian’s form. His chest rose and fell, slow but steady. Valen reached out, his fingers brushing the side of Rhydian’s neck to check for a pulse. It was faint, but it was there. He pr

Chapter: ARE YOU ON OUR SIDE?Iza paced slowly in front of the line of young men and women. Each was dressed in white garments, loosely tied with vines at their wrists. The sun had not fully risen, but Iza needed this to be done with and over. He had made it compulsory that they should cover their heads with something that looked like a veil. That was the ritual. Only the beast could touch them now. "Form a straight line," Iza ordered. "Anyone who tries to escape or does anything annoying will be punished severely. Remember the rules that I gave you. Hide your fears and just go ahead to the cave. If you're willing, the beast will spare you." From the look of things, however, especially with the raging howls, it didn't seem like it would for once occur to the beast to spare them. But who could say no?He looked around and muttered, "Thank the goddess Valen is nowhere near to interrupt this. I was suspicious about the peace of mind that I suddenly have." Just then, Aldridge approached with his arms folded.

Chapter: DEN Valen sneezed and rubbed his nose. This was a sign that he was in a place that he ought not to be. This journey took him half a day already, and not only was he weak, but the temperature was worse than he thought. His body wasn't used to the kind of cold that came with this. It was night, but the sky was surprisingly clear. The wind was also blowing. If not because of the clear sky, Valen would have easily concluded that it was about to rain. "I can't give up now. I have come too far to want the give." He wished and crouched low beneath the twisted roots of a gnarled tree. His breath was shallow and his eyes were scanning for any movement in the shadows. It would be terrible for him to get caught by the vampires. After a day and a half of travel, he finally reached the borders of the Vampires’ territory. The cold here even went deep into his bones, unlike anything he had ever experienced. It was far worse than the one he experienced while coming. It wasn’t just the chill that le

On his way, he collided with Iza. A few things fell from Iza's hands and scattered everywhere else on the floor. Iza hissed and cast a glare at the intruder. It was not far-fetched that he was a werewolf. Lucan immediately got on his knees and quickly picked the strange objects up before handing them over to Iza apologetically. "You werewolves don't seem to know your place anymore in these mountains. What are you doing here? Who are you? Raise your head and look me in the eye when I'm speaking to you, young man!" Lucan slowly raised his head, fidgeting with his fingers, "I...I am sorry. I am Lucan and I am here to see Sir Aldridge." He was going to add that it was urgent, but doing that would only open the door for more impromptu questions. "Aldridge?" Iza asked pronouncing the name with disdain as he eyed Lucan. The young

The King’s monstrous howls had grown louder, deeper, and more terrifying. Each wail tore through the trees and echoed like a curse over the mountain. No one dared to come near. Even the guards stationed nearby had begun to pull back, leaving only Valen to witness what was happening. Rhydian kept on hitting the door, wanting to break free from the place. With each hit, they feared that he might actually just do it. Valen hadn’t seen Iza or Aldridge since they left. Now, every second felt like a day. He even contemplated whether they had decided to abandon him with the beast which would have been terrifying if they did. "Still here?" Lucan’s voice startled him.Valen turned slowly. "Hmm, I can’t leave him," he muttered, nodding toward the cave. "I told Aldridge I’d guard the entrance." He paused and then sighed, "Well, he ordered me t
