ETHAN'S POV

“Come with me. If anyone asks, you're the Alpha's personal valet.”

Those words made my heart beat in excitement.

The feeling of both disbelief and fear all tangled into one heartbeat made me pause for a moment.

For a split second, I just stood there, letting the moment sink in.

"Three feet." His voice reminded me, sharp and low.

I quickly bowed, suppressing a grin, and followed behind him, skipping slightly in excitement. We made our way to the royal court.

But when we reached the entrance, I froze.

The doors were tall, carved with ancient runes that shimmered faintly under the flickering torchlight. The scent of power hung in the air, heavy, intimidating. I swallowed hard as the guards made way for Alpha Ryan, their silver-tipped spears crossing for a moment before letting the Alpha pass.

I peered inside.

The hall was filled with the pack's wolves of authority.

A massive circular table made of black oak dominated the room, ringed with high backed chairs made of animal sk

  • A Mate Bond Hidden Under The Moonlight   Tethered In The Moonlight

    ETHAN'S POV I woke up to my family around me except Aldan. Lilly looked... Scared and sad at the same time. "What happened?" I asked confused. "Something's bound to you alright." She responded as she took the piece of cloth that was placed on my forehead. "What?" I asked, my eyes widening in fear. "Something, I can't really explain but it didn't feel dangerous when I got to communicate with it." "I don't understand what you're saying, I don't even have a wolf so what could I be bounded to?" I asked as I sat up. "I can't tell but whatever is so strongly bound to you, is different from the cursed wolf I know about, maybe Mom did something that day." "I'm so confused right now." Jasmine interrupted. "Everything you did still pointed at the fact he had a hand in mom's death, the cursed wolf is bound to him right? And..." "He didn't." Lilly cuts in. "I saw what happened that day." She added before leaving the room with teary eyes. I immediately tried to stand on

    ETHAN'S POVThe room fell silent for a moment."Why the tears?" Lilly asked in a harsher tone."He's once again denying killing Mom." Jasmine responded.I shook my head violently, wiping at my tears. “No, Jasmine. You don’t understand. That’s not what happened that day at the river.”She folded her arms, glaring, her wolf aura already surfacing, trying to make me cower. Lilly walked in.“You think I’d forget the fact Mom drown because of you?” Jasmine hissed.I lifted my head, and for the first time in years, I let the words spill out. “She didn’t drown because of me. She drowned because something pulled her under.”Both their eyes flickered.“Again with the lies." Jasmine scoffed.I swallowed, forcing myself to meet their gazes. “I fell into the river, yes… but there was something there. A shadow. A wolf...no, not a wolf, not like us. Its eyes were bloody red, and it kept whispering in my head."Jasmine scoffed, but there was a tremor in her voice. “Stop making up stories, Ethan.”“I

    ETHAN'S POVThat evening, Lysa and I walked the lonely road leading to my house."Your house is a bit far from the pack house." She said."Not really, we are almost there." I smiled.In no time we got to my place.My step sisters were outside, the moment they saw me, their expression changed.I couldn't read it, but I know they're definitely not happy to see me.I waved Lysa a goodbye even though she wanted me to introduce her to my family.As I took a step in I met my step dad."Where are the coins?" He barked."I...I don't have any?" I stammered taking a step back.The way his eyes darkened made my heart beat intensify. His voice, heavy with rage as he took a step closer."You're more useless than I thought!" he spat, his breath hot with the stench of ale. His hand gripped my collar so hard the fabric cut into my neck."I wasn’t given any coins," I tried to explain, my voice trembling."You spent days in the palace only to return with nothing." He spat as he gave me an unexpecting s

  • A Mate Bond Hidden Under The Moonlight   The Longing I Can’t Name

    ETHAN'S POV The next morning started slow. I didn't get any orders from Alpha Ryan and Lysa was late.To pass the time, I helped mistress Alira clean everywhere while I waited for Lysa.While I was mopping the floor, Lysa walked in.Seeing her, my face immediately lit up."I thought you won't be coming in today." I said with a smile as I dropped the wooden mop and walked up to her."My mate fell ill, and I was attending to him all morning." She sighed.Is Mistress Alira here?" She asked glancing around. "She stepped out a while ago." I responded."Oh that's a relief. I hope she doesn't get mad at me." She muttered as she rolled her hair up."She was so mad you were running late." I joked.She rolled her sleeves up and said, “Hand me that,” taking the mop to finish what I had started.Once she was done, she checked on some of the patients, attended to the ones that needed her before she met me seated on my bed.I was so lost in thought to notice her presence.“What’s on your mind?” s

    ETHAN'S POVHis arms slowly wrapped around my waist and while I stood frozen, the pain I felt subsided.I was yet again confused."How... how do you do that?" I managed to ask.He quickly pulled away from me."By tomorrow, I will send for you when I need you." He said before leaving me alone to my confused thoughts.The moment he left, I sat quietly on my bed trying to understand what just happened. "Only a mate is supposed to do that." I muttered.I remember vividly the day I got to know about that.My step sister Lilly had fallen from the table, I think I was about fifteen.I had barely caught her as she fell, but she still had a little sprain on her ankle as a result.She cried softly while I massaged her feet, trying to ease the pain.At that moment, Jasmine walked in."What happened?" She asked as she walked up to us."I fell." Lilly cried.Jasmine sat down beside her."Don't worry, when you get your mate you wouldn't have to worry about the pains from your clumsiness anymore."

Liam responded.Ryan sighed."Where is she?""The East garden."Ryan glanced at the young warriors still fumbling through their drills. His jaw tightened.“Keep them going,” he said. “They don’t stop until they stop falling over their own feet.”Liam gave a knowing nod. “I’ll handle it.”Ryan turned without another word, heading out.But just as he had taken a few steps, he paused.He turned to Liam over his shoulder.“Before I forget...”Liam raised a brow. “Yeah?”“Tell Ethan to meet me after nightfall."
