Darius.There was a cacophony of noise coming out from the gym room on my way back to the palace. Usually, I don’t intervene as my presence may be awkward or dampen the mood. Meanwhile, the noise intensified so much I couldn’t ignore any longer. My wolf grunted as we approached closer. The soldiers were so into the excitement that they didn’t even realize my arrival. My beta Cameron tried to alert them but I gestured him to be quiet. “Shh” I placed my finger on my lips for him to keep mute. I quietly walked behind them to see what the fuss was all about. Raven has just taken down one of my biggest warriors without any hassle.“He didn’t see her coming.” I muttered to myself. I had a broad smile of my face feeling impressed on my strongest warrior Raven. She fought beside me as me second-in-command in various battles and instilled an element of fear both in our enemies and also fellow soldiers as someone who wasn’t to be trifled with. There was a sense of confidence I had when she was

AuroraAfter some few days , my wounds were completely healed. The joy of standing in the sunshine again jolted me out of the room. I took a moment to enjoy the ambiance all around me as my skin glowed in porcelain white. From my peripheral vision, I caught some of the she-wolves in the courtyard stealing glances at me while passing through. They quickly dashed as I met their gaze. The few days I rested really brought out the fairness of my skin. “Maybe it’s the portion the healer gave me to drink.” I chuckled to myself. I continued to stroll around around the palace where I met Raven training with other warrior wolves in the gym room.She was in the process of coaching the others on self defense tactics when she noticed me. Initially, I shuddered and tried to walk away but something halted my movement. “Strong and fierce..” Suddenly I remembered the advice of Cameron yesterday and it dawned on me. “I’m no more anyone’s prey.” Instinctively I faced raven and nodded to greet her. She t

Aurora“Is this a dream?” I mumbled quietly to myself. Unknown to me, it slipped out to the ears of the one who I wished didn’t hear it the most.“It's not a dream, you crazy girl.” That baritone voice was only Darius. He looked at me with a puzzled look. He shot me a glare that took me aback. My eyes widened in disbelief. I tried to tilt my head forward, but I have not gotten my full strength back, yet there was significant progress in the healing of my wounds.“Alpha…” I stuttered. His expression remained unfazed. His eyes darkened as he stared at me deeply. Before I could finish my sentence, he snapped.“I can see your wounds are healing quicker than I expected. It’s impressive for someone without a wolf.” He scuffed. I didn’t even notice he was holding my hands until he suddenly let go. He adjusted his seat back, which stirred a sad feeling in my heart. From his expression, I could tell he was trying to control his anger, yet his patience was wearing thin. He suddenly stood uprig

Aurora “Come back to me…” I remembered hearing Darius voice vaguely as I gently opened my eyes. I woke up on a king size bed with the initials “D” beautifully crafted at the head-space. I looked around to see the interior decor of the Alpha Darius' bedroom. It had a minimalistic setting but still kept an extingusihed aura. It was filled with imported furnitures and expensive artworks. It also had sculptured statures that aligned with the huge mahogany table at the corner of the room.“This is the first time I’m seeing the inside of the alpha’s room.” I mumbled to myself. Before I could nourish my sight with its’ beauty, I felt a sharp pain.“Ouch!” I grimaced as I felt a thunderous headache like a large drum beating in my brain. Suddenly, Raven rushed in quickly.“What’s wrong Aurora?” She asked in a concerned voice. She had a worried facial expression like she genuinely cared for me. It was different than the usual condescending almost disdain look that I was accustomed with her.

DariusI returned to my palace, and to my surprise, there was a sense of panic all over. My wolf grunted as I had a gut feeling it was about Aurora. I saw Raven pacing around, so I called out to her.“Raven! What’s all the fuss about?” I snapped. She averted my gaze, and she slowly bent one of her knees in respect.“Forgive me, my Alpha..I seemed to have lost Aurora.” She hesitantly replied. My wolf hissed in anger. It wanted to lash out and smack her on her face. I had to clench my fists to cool it down. Raven was one of my strongest warriors. She was the only one I could trust with the safety of Aurora. My eyes darkened in annoyance.“I entrusted Aurora’s life in your care, but... You failed me, Raven,” I grunted. She looked up to me like a child looking up to her parents with tears in her eyes. “My Alpha-” Raven replied with a sympathetic look. I dismissed her hurriedly as I rushed out. Moments later, Cameron rushed out to meet me. “My Alpha, I’m so sorry, I take full responsibil

AuroraIt had been over a month, and I had yet to have any deep conversation with Darius. It felt like we were worlds apart, yet our rooms were just a few inches away from each other. I grew tired of connecting with him. But it all was to no avail. I resigned myself to wait till he was ready for me. Alpha Darius was widely known not to open up to people easily, so I will bide my time and wait till the perfect moment when he can no longer ignore me.“He’s my second mate, I know he will come to me,” I muttered to myself. I sat down deep in my thoughts till I was tapped on the shoulders. “Are you alright, Aurora?” I turned around to view the tall man in his early twenties standing behind me. He wore a waistcoat, which gave me a dignified look. I squinted my eyes and saw it was Cameron. Darius’s Beta.“Sniff…I’m fine, Ser.” I replied calmly. I was oblivious to how much time had passed for the day. As I sat in the corridors of the palace. Cameron sat down beside me.“You don’t have to be

Irene POVWhen I got home later in the evening, I met the butler at the mansion's doorway. He had a respectable smile and slightly bowed to me.“Welcome back, Mrs. Wood,” He said in a calm tone. I huffed as I walked past him. “ What’s good about this evening, Walter?” I snarled at him. The sky was pitch black as no stars were visible that night. The air became thicker as I climbed up the stairs. One of the domestic staff dressed in a white and black uniform stood at the entrance of my door with a well-polished silver tray and a glass of orange juice. She nervously averted my gaze as her hands slowly trembled while holding it.I gestured for her to return it to the kitchen as I slammed my huge bedroom doors behind me. I could sense a headache coming up as I sat on the sofa close to my bed. I gently massaged my temples with my fingers as I slumped on the sofa.Not long after I sat down, I heard a gentle tap on my door. Before I could respond, the doors swung open, revealing Celeste in

Irene POVI heard a loud thud at the door. It startled me briefly. However, I snapped out my daze, seconds later I heard footsteps thumping angrily approaching the hallway. It felt like a huge elephant passing through.My bedroom door was slightly open as I looked in that direction with anticipation. Moments later, I saw the figure of Caleb walking past my room huffing. Surprisingly, he didn't stop to greet me, which was very unusual. No matter how late he got home, he always greeted me before proceeding to his room.“Caleb, is that you?” I called out. I listened keenly as his footsteps receded. He knocked on my door gently as he entered.“Good evening Mother-” he greeted in a calm voice. I nodded in approval as he sat down on a chair close to my large-size bed.“My apologies…I was deep in thoughts.” He said in a gentle tone. A wave of joy washed over me.“For a moment, I thought you forgot about me.” I said in a sarcastic voice. His eyes widened in shock.“Of course not Mother, that

Rainora POVWe arrived at my apartment building forty-five minutes later. The ride was quiet and awkward as no one would give in. Nikolas casually glanced at me while driving, letting out a ‘hmph’ sound. I pressed my lips in protest and feigned ignorance of his exasperation.“Goodnight, Mr.Woods-” I snapped quickly at him and stepped out of his car. He had a cold glint in his eyes as he watched my retreating figure.I clenched my bag angrily as I approached the ground floor of my building. I forced a smile as I greeted the doorman and headed into the lift. Just as I pressed the button to the floor leading to my house, a masculine fist stopped the motion of the sliding doors midway. I looked up to see Nikolas grinning as he also stepped into the elevator. My heart beat raced quickly as he stood right in front of me, his piercing gaze ran through my body as the elevator closed. Like he could see my soul. I wiped the sweat beading on my forehead as he continued to stare at me with a smu

Rainora Nikolas’ eyes darkened as he gazed at me and Caleb returning to the office. I felt a lump in my throat. A feeling of guilt washed over me. Instinctively, I stylishly moved inches away from Caleb. The aura in the room thickened as it tensed up. Low-tone whispers were hurling around the lobby. Everyone watched in anticipation, like watching a scene out of a movie. Sensing the weird atmosphere, Caleb cleared his throat to ease tension. “Cough..Fancy seeing you here, brother.” Caleb forced a smile on his face. Nikolas remained unfazed. “I was just about to ask you the same question, little brother.” Nikolas has a smirk on his face. Caleb clenched his fist. He quirked his lips in an attempt to utter something, but at the last minute changed his mind. Moments later, he took a deep sigh and replied. “ I had a private discussion with Aurora about some sensitive issues.” Caleb had a smug look on his face, I sensed he was trying to taunt Nikolas, which was working. Nikolas’s demeano

Caleb“Let me tell you how to go about it-” Celeste leaned towards me covertly and whispered some words in my ear. I gasped at the ingenuity of her plan. However, a wave of optimism washed over me as the likelihood that this plan could work seemed very high.“I know I can make her fall in love with me,” I mumbled to myself in vigor. I had a grin on my face. Celeste had a mischievous smile on her face as she met her gaze.I waited several days for the tension to quiet down. I dressed up in a navy-blue tailored suit. It accentuated my broad frame perfectly. I quickly put on my gold-plated watch and leather shoes on the way to the office.This time, I arrived a few hours after the workers had commenced their daily duties. I aimed to avoid any further attention that would alert Rainora.I entered the office discreetly and signaled the receptionists not to inform her of my arrival.It was easy to confirm my details with the security personnel as I was among the executive members of the boa

Caleb “Let go of her…” A familiar yet domineering tone snapped. It had the baritone of an angry lion. The sudden command of that voice took me aback. I turned to confront the source of the voice, and it turned out to be none other than Nikolas. He shot a dark glare in my direction, which left me shuddering. But I regained my thoughts and met his gaze. “What are you doing here so early, Nikolas?” I had a cheeky smile on my face as I replied. His eyes darkened at my response. His eyes focused on my grip on Rainora’s hands. I tried to tighten my grip to antagonize him, but suddenly, Rainora managed to free herself due to my distraction. Before I could make any movement, she rushed off to the building. I had a smirk on my face as I watched her retreating figure. The audience watching the entire scenes eventually dissipated while whispering, making their conversations inaudible. “I came for an early morning meeting, but it appears I got here just in time-” Nikolas curved his lip
