Something soft touched my forehead. I flinched immediately, scared. Agony shot up in my whole body, and I whimpered, almost sobbing.
“Hey. Hey, it is me.” the voice was just as soft as the touch had been. And it felt familiar.
I tried to open my eyes. Since they were swollen shut, I could barely see anything. I blinked a few times, trying to clear my vision. When I could finally see, I saw the figure of a man bent on his knees in front of me.
“A- Adrian?” I asked, barely about to whisper through chapped lips. I had not eaten or drank anything since I had been brought to the dungeons. I think it had been more than three days because the guards came every day to investigate the truth out of me.

“Go over there, and bring some of it.” Lucinda commented and pointed at the burning hot pot of the porridge that had been set at the dining table.Nodding my head, I stood up and started to walk toward the kitchen to grab a small bowl. “Where do you think you are going?” Lucinda’s snap made me halt, and then turn around, “where are you running off to?”“Bowl.” I said. Wasn’t it obvious?She scoffed. Her fingers pulled the gum out of her mouth and put it on the freshly cleaned table that I had just spent ten minutes cleaning up.“Use your hands.” she said, shooting me a vicious stare. “What?”She rolled her eyes, got up from her seat, and walked over to me. Snatching my wrist, she took a spoonful of porridge from the pot. My eyes shot to the burning hot pot. The smoke was still coming from the food.“No, please do-” I tried to snatch my hand back but she poured the hot porridge all over my hand.“Ah…” I cried out in pain.My skin burnt immediately, turning bright red. Tears welled up

I was still as a rock. I had a faint idea of what he was about to say but I did not want him to confirm my fear.“You were running away from this pack?!” he barked angrily, “I went to your house and the sight that greeted me was of a very clean house that had all things packed already. You were fleeing from here? Without even saying one damn thing to me?”I flinched at his loud voice but then turned my head away and muttered, “It has nothing to do with you.”“The hell it doesn’t!” he shouted, his hand slamming on the wall beside my head, “you are my mate! I have every fucking right to know what goes on with you!”“No, I am not your m

Adrian kept staring at her in silence. Indifferent. It fueled her anger more. Grabbing a vase from the side table, she smashed it on the ground. And then continued to pick whatever came in her hands, screaming madly. “You! You ruined it! Why is it that every time I am in front of you, you don’t see ME?!” she flipped around to face Adrian again, her breaths heavy, eyes red, and unfocused. Her pupils were so enlarged that she looked like a mad woman. “I love you so much! I did so many things for you! Why don’t you see that? What the hell is wrong with me?!” “Get out.” Adrian said in a calm voice. She grabbed more things, throwing them on the ground. The whole floor was now filled with glass, and plastic, and all the other broken objects. “Guards!” a man rushed inside the room. “Take her out of my room.” The guard grabbed Lucinda’s flying arms. She still kept screeching wildly, completely out of control. I had never seen her like this ever before. I guess the shock of Adrian bei

I opened my mouth to scream my lungs but but then stopped at the very first squeak when I saw it was Adrian. With my eyes wide, and heart still thumping wildly in shock, I ran to the bedroom door to lock it from inside. “Surprise!” he grinned, standing up on his feet. “Shock!” I said breathlessly, “please give a small knock on the window when you come in next time. I don’t want to have heart problems in my twenties.” “Oh, so your heart beats fast when you see me?” he smirked, getting closer. “In fear. Trust me.” I said, looking out the window to make sure no one was watching. “And what are you doing here? If mom saw you, she is going to skin me alive. And I am not even saying that rhetorically. I mean literally. She WILL skin me alive.” He made a face and plopped down on the bed, making my anxiety rise. One, he was not supposed to be anywhere in my house. The thought of mom knocking at the door any second and smelling his scent was giving me a panic attack. And two, who would ev

“Just put everything down, and go back, please. I will settle in.” Leila said to the workers who had already arranged everything in the new house that alpha had gifted to live next to the pack house. I wished I did not have to face her again because it gave me a really painful feeling in my chest whenever I saw her smile. I don’t know why, but I detested being anywhere near her, especially because Lucinda was literally glued to her everywhere she went. And also because people had still not stopped talking about the same damn thing that happened with Kaya’s murder, but I was not that much affected anymore. I had to be courageous now. “Oh, hey, August!” Leila chirped sweetly, “are you here to clean the house?”Like you did not ASK for me to be sent specifically. What a random question.“Yes.” I bowed in front of her.And like my nightmare coming alive, Lucinda walked out of the house in her usual high and might self with displeased expressions on her face, “These omegas are just getti

My fingers tightened in a fist but I held back. Dropping my face to the ground, I mumbled, “Sorry.”“Don’t hit other people, Ara!” Leila scolded.Ara stepped back. “Oh, I also asked Ara to bring one of our most precious artifacts from our pack.” Leila smiled and took a seat, followed by Lucinda.She peeked over Lucinda’s shoulder to look at me, “August, will you bring it out of that box, please?”She pointed at the small box at the table. I pressed my lips tightly, and nodded my head. As much annoyed and angry I was, I had much important matters at hands now. Walking over, I grabbed the heavy box and brought it to their table. I bent down on the ground on my knees to open it. Opening the top of the box, I pulled out the piece that was quite heavy. It was something made of glass. Something very precious clearly. Just as I was just pulling it out, something clicked in my mind.Although this house was new, Alpha had already given it to Leila the day she had come here. Her servants were

What is this? The paper had been stuffed inside the cover to hide it. Why would Kaya or anyone push it into the mattress? Was I overthinking this or Lorenzo really had something to do with Kaya’s murder?I kept staring at the paper, wishing somehow some magical words would appear on it to give me a hint. But it remained as it was. I stuffed it in my pocket, and then quietly tiptoed out of the room. I was carefully closing the door behind me when a soft whisper slipped across my ear, “Snooping around?”I jumped in shock, and flipped around immediately. My eyes wide.Lorenzo stood in front of me with a smirk on his face, staring at me from top to bottom. Shit!“Wh- what? No. I was,” I gulped to hide my nervousness and quickly think of something, “I was looking for the washroom. Miss Leila said it is here, but I could not find it since thre are so many rooms in this corridor.”“Liars get set on fire, omega.” Lorenzo’s voice remained cold and emotionless even though there was a smirk on

I shifted immediately. Down on my knees in my human form, my arms covering my chest, I stared at the now dead guard with wide eyes.“What… did you just do?” I whispered, and lifted my eyes to look at Lorenzo, “you just killed a man?”He appeared indifferent, and casual like he had just chugged down a bottle of beer instead of committing murder. He jumped over the dead body of the man to get close to me, and then looked down at me with a smile. “Of course. Anything for you.”“For me?! FOR ME?!” I repeated the words. Why was he not making any damn sense?”“Well, yeah!” he shook his head like it was SO OBVIOUS, “something is wrong with your wolf, isn’t it? You shined in the dark. Pretty sexy, by the way,” he smirked, “but whatever it is, I don’t want to know. He was calling his pals over to get you in trouble, I stopped him from doing that. So didn’t I just help you?”My heart thumped with slight relief. He did not know about a the shining wolf tale. My secret was still safe.“I never a
