MELANIA…..

The dungeon was cold and damp, the air thick with the scent of blood, rust, and lingering fear. Torches flickered along the stone walls, their unsteady flames casting eerie shadows that danced across the corridor. Chains and iron shackles hung from the walls like grim decorations, clinking softly whenever a cold draft swept through the underground chambers. Water dripped steadily from the ceiling, echoing through the silence.

At the far end of the cell, the traitor hung chained to th

    MELANIA….."Alpha Melania..."The moment the man entered my study, he dropped to his knees. Before anyone could react, he lowered his head and pressed it against the floor."From this day forward, I am your loyal dog. I will do whatever you command."Gamma Aaron and Arthur stared at him as if he had lost his mind. Just a few hours ago, this same man had chosen torture over betraying his master. Now he was kneeling at my feet, pledging his loyalty. The irony wasn't lost on me. I remained seated behind my desk."What changed your mind?" I asked, keeping my calm posture intact.The man's body trembled with fury. "They betrayed me."The bitterness in his voice was impossible to miss. Slowly, he raised his head. His eyes were bloodshot with rage and disappointment."When your guards escorted me to the border, someone came to meet me. My kin from your pack." His fists clenched at his side."At first, I thought he was there because he was happy to see me alive."A bitter laugh escaped him. "

    MELANIA…..The dungeon was cold and damp, the air thick with the scent of blood, rust, and lingering fear. Torches flickered along the stone walls, their unsteady flames casting eerie shadows that danced across the corridor. Chains and iron shackles hung from the walls like grim decorations, clinking softly whenever a cold draft swept through the underground chambers. Water dripped steadily from the ceiling, echoing through the silence.At the far end of the cell, the traitor hung chained to the wall. His wrists were bound above his head, forcing him to remain standing despite his weakened condition. His body was covered in bruises, cuts, and burns from the interrogation. Blood stained his torn clothes. Some wounds were fresh. Others had already dried into dark crimson streaks. His head hung low against his chest, making him appear almost lifeless.For a brief moment, I wondered if he had already lost consciousness. He slowly lifted his head when he heard our footsteps approaching the

    MELANIA….The rest of the breakfast passed amidst endless teasing. Everyone teased me while Raymond sat there looking entirely too pleased with himself.The shameless man.Even Isla joined their side.By the time breakfast ended, I was seriously considering banishing all of them from my sight. As the servants began clearing the table, everyone slowly stood up from their seats."I'll take Isla to the garden," Raymond said."Yay!" Isla cheered excitedly.I shook my head helplessly.Just as I was about to leave the dining hall, a voice stopped me."Alpha Melania."I turned around. Arthur had remained seated while everyone else was preparing to leave. The expression on his face immediately caught my attention.The lighthearted atmosphere vanished from my mind."What is it?"Arthur stood up and approached me. "I need to speak with you." His tone was low."Come to my study."Arthur inclined his head. "Yes, my Alpha."A few minutes later, we entered my study.The moment the door closed behin

    MELANIA….."Stop smiling.""I'm not smiling.""You are.""I'm really not."I glared at Raymond. This man had been grinning nonstop since he woke up. It was irritating. Very irritating. And somehow, that grin became even wider.A knock suddenly sounded on the door.Before either of us could respond, the door swung open."Mama! Papa!"Isla rushed inside. We were still in the closet. I heard her footsteps growing closer to the closet. She popped her head inside to check if we were inside it. A wide smile spread across her lips when she found both her father and mother inside the closet. My heart nearly stopped. I quickly wrapped a towel around myself to hide my body from Isla. How am I going to answer her if she asks me what happened to my body and from where those marks came from.Raymond coughed into his fist, earning a glare from me."Good morning, sweetheart." I greeted her.Isla froze. Her eyes moved from me to Raymond. Then back to me. A mischievous smile slowly spread across her

    MELANIA…..The warmth surrounding me was the first thing I felt when I woke up.For a moment, I remained still. Because it was too comfortable. Then reality slowly returned. My eyes fluttered open.The summer morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, bathing the room in a soft golden glow. I blinked sleepily. Only then did I realize I wasn't alone and I wasn't sleeping in my room either. Then I noticed strong arms were wrapped securely around my waist. My breath caught.Slowly, I lifted my head to find Raymond was asleep beside me.No. Not beside me. I was practically tangled up in his arms. His chest rose and fell steadily beneath my cheek. One of his arms was possessively wrapped around my waist while the other rested beneath my head. As though even in his sleep, he refused to let me go.A strange warmth spread through my chest. For six years, Raymond had respected every boundary I placed between us. Never pressured me. Never demanded anything. Never complained. And now, for

    RAYMOND…Today, I came home late again.A mountain of paperwork and endless meetings had kept me occupied throughout the day.As soon as I stepped into our room, I stopped in my tracks. The room was dark, not completely dark. Dozens of candles illuminated the space, casting a warm golden glow across the room.Confusion filled me.‘What was all this?’I slowly walked forward only to be greeted by her mesmerizing voice. "Welcome home, My Alpha."I immediately looked around, searching for her. Then she stepped out from behind the wardrobe with a bright smile on her face. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe. The candlelight danced across her features, making her look ethereal.Like a fairy who had stepped out of a dream.She wore a long white dress that flowed gracefully around her figure. Her dark hair cascaded freely down her back and over her shoulders. A touch of makeup enhanced her natural beauty. And somehow, she looked even more breathtaking than usual."What's all of this?" I as
