OLENA I finally managed to ease his hand off my waist. It took some time and a lot of patience, but I reminded myself why I had to, this was the right moment to get my necklace back from where he’d hidden it.I tiptoed toward the door, moving slowly so I wouldn't wake him. Before slipping out, I carefully placed a pillow in his arms, hoping it would trick him into thinking he was still holding me.“I just need to be quick... and maybe return before he notices,” I whispered to myself as I opened the door and slipped out, heading quietly down the stairs.But then, Kane.Our eyes met. His brows furrowed instantly.Without a word, he grabbed my hand and pulled me quickly down the remaining steps. I stumbled, nearly falling, but he didn’t stop until we were tucked in the corner of the hall.He ran a hand through his hair, clearly agitated, then scoffed under his breath.“What the fuck do you think you just did back there in the building?” Kane snapped, his eyes narrowing on me.I knew exa
Abraham took a deep breath, the panic in his chest slowly easing. For a terrifying moment, he’d truly believed he would lose control, explode and burn everything around him to ash… with Olena right there in the fire.But then something shifted.Both he and Olena stared in stunned silence as the flames, wild and consuming just moments ago, began to die down softly, almost unnaturally. It was like someone had poured water over them… yet there was no water. No steam. No trace.Just silence.Everything had been quenched. Abraham himself couldn’t believe it. His body felt too heavy, too drained to stand. Before he realized it, his arms had wrapped around Olena, holding her close. Eyes shut, he breathed her in, her scent grounding him in a way that silenced the chaos still trembling beneath his skin.She felt the heat rising from him, his body still burning up but she didn’t move, didn’t flinch. She stayed there.Footsteps echoed through the half-burned building.Olena turned slightly to l
OLENA But I grabbed her wrist and pulled her a little closer, something I’d never dared to do before. I knew she wouldn’t make a scene here. Not in public. The worst she could do was yank her hand away and storm off and that’s exactly what she did.I stood there, watching her leave, then slowly lowered my head, feeling really sad about this.Running my hands through my hair, I sighed. Maybe I was asking the wrong person. My eyes flicked across the hall, just in time to see Ronan slipping out.Abraham was still surrounded, basking in the attention of the guests, so I slipped away and followed Ronan instead.As I stepped out of the hall, I caught him glancing over his shoulder but by the time he turned fully, I was already gone.“Ronan!” I called out, raising my voice.He didn’t stop. He looked… happy. Relaxed, even, as he walked toward the mansion and slid into his car. I didn’t think twice, I rushed over and pulled the door open, slipping into the back seat just before he could drive
OLENA What was I even thinking? I shouldn’t be thinking like this. I need to stay positive. Maybe it’s just decoration. Maybe my father isn’t dead. He can’t be. He looked fine before I left, strong and healthy. Not even a sign of sickness. Just maybe… though even that felt like a lie.We stepped into the hall, already packed with rich people. The air shifted as it smelled with their expensive perfumes, women with their gowns and the men with their gowns and jewelries."Am I seeing vision or is that the Lycan King?" someone whispered with a stunned laugh.Gasps rippled through the crowd like a wave."Shh! Do you want to get your head chopped off?" someone else hissed."He looks so chiselled," another said in awe.The tension rose. A few bold men stepped forward, trying to greet Abraham, but the guards weren’t having it. They shoved them back with firm hands and cold eyes.“Stay back,” one of the guards growled, expression hard as stone. As Abraham came to a stop and scanned the room,
MORGANLast night it flowed like honey. Music, drinks, laughter, just me and my girls lighting up the room. I tossed my head back as our glasses clinked, not a single worry on my mind. Somewhere out there, she was probably being dragged through hell by Zubby or whatever name he bears. No one ever really saw that guy around the kingdom anyway. Ghost with a charming smile.“Are we just gonna leave her?” Rubbie asked, her gaze locked on me like she was trying to read something underneath my smirk.I paused, letting the grin curl slowly at the corner of my lips. That girl really thought she could throw that filthy word at me... insecure? She had no clue who she was dealing with. I leaned back, chin lifted just enough to remind the room who I was.Me — Lady Morgan. Mistress of Lycan Abraham Namtaru. Daughter of the fiercest warrior this kingdom’s ever known with a mother who's the Eyes of the kingdom. Future Luna. Soon this land would kneel for me, inch by inch, and she’d watch it all from
OLENA Then I caught the subtle nod Abraham gave me, signaling for me to follow as he turned and walked away.I lowered my head respectfully and started after him, feeling his gaze burn into my back. I couldn’t risk looking over my shoulder.When I saw he was heading toward his private chambers, my steps faltered. That place, it was the reason she’d put me through all that hell yesterday, and I didn’t want to go through it again.I froze, hesitating, but then remembered Abraham had the upper hand. The worst part was that even though he had the power, he never bothered to clean up the mess he caused, just left me to suffer.How was it that his future Luna wasn’t allowed inside his private chambers, yet I, a slave, could go there freely? And if it was really about me being his personal slave, then what about his Beta or Catzn, why couldn’t they go in too?He was the root of all this, and honestly, I couldn’t even blame Morgan as she’d only acted out of jealousy, and somehow my life was
