GABRIEL

Shit. So she knew I’d been following her? It was too late to slip away now, Odette had already looked back. Just for a second but that glance told me everything, she saw me standing there. A flush of heat rushed to my face and I shifted back. I had only been in wolf form for a short while, so thankfully, my trousers remained on.

For a moment, all I could do was stand there unsure of what to do next.

I wanted to approach her and say something, but then I realized Odette wasn’t wearing anything.

I kept my gaze firmly on the ground, and from the corner of my eye, I saw her move quickly toward a nearby tree. I waited until I heard the soft rustle of fabric. When I looked up, she stepped out with a loose dress now draped over her body.

“Hey,” She said, taking a step toward me, a small smile curving her lips.

I had braced myself for anger when she caught me following her. So when Odette met me with a soft smile instead, a wave of relief and something dangerously close to excitement

She’s completely lying, remember, he had his butler escort her out quietly, and he told his butler that I believe over the phone. He didn’t even talk her yet.

Not sure why everyone is so good to Odette? Honestly I find this whole thing mate situation with Tessa and Frederick to be insincere. He has chosen Odette more times, was intimate and in love with her. Tessa is a fool for even considering moving into his pack again. He’s really never put her first

    VELMARAThe moment I stepped into the room, every gaze immediately locked on me. Tessa’s expression was one of pure shock, Frederick mirrored it with his own surprise while Atlas remained infuriatingly unbothered. He just arched a brow despite being the one who had dared to suggest such a ridiculous idea. The smug satisfaction glinting in his eyes at my reaction only made my irritation sharpen further.“I don’t want him anywhere near me!” I snapped at Frederick though speaking to him was the last thing I wanted.But I knew if there was a single person capable of stopping Atlas, it was him.“Why?” Frederick lifted his brows in that annoying superior way of his. “My Beta is good in that field. He can ensure your safety if he watches over you. After what happened to your cat, we can’t risk something like that-"He broke off abruptly.His expression twisted faintly, a flicker of discomfort that drew my attention to Tessa’s hand resting on his arm. She pressed hard, almost digging into h

    VELMARAWith the last shovelful of earth settling over the grave, Salem’s resting place was finally complete. The task had been carried out with trembling hands and tears but at least the painful part was done. I lingered beside the fresh mound for a few moments. There's a flower, plucked from the garden where he had once run, resting atop the soil.“It’s my fault,” I whispered, “I should have watched over you better, baby. I’m so, so sorry.” It feels like he was still here, nuzzling on my feet like he always does.I know I should've felt angry but I didn't even have strength left for fury. All that remained was an emptiness I knew would never fully close.Everyone would say Salem is nothing more than just a cat. But to me, he was my only companion when everyone else had turned their backs.“I want to stay with you longer, boy,” I murmured, “But you know I can’t drown in sadness forever and let that man win. I have a task to repay him.”I smoothed the dirt from my dress and rose.I h

    TESSAFrederick and I didn’t return to the hall. Instead, we wandered through the garden. The air here is cool and quiet compared to the revelry inside. “Yes, Odette has returned to my pack, but only as a regular member nothing more. It’s what I should have done long ago if I’d had the sense. The only woman my pack and I wanted as Luna, is you.”We stopped walking.His eyes fixed on mine and something dangerous sparked in my chest at the sound of those words. For the briefest heartbeat, I felt like the girl I once was; the one who had looked at him for the first time and fallen.“I know it’s hard to give me another chance after I squandered the first one, Tessa. But I’m begging…”The strangeness of hearing Frederick Alonso beg struck something deep inside me.His hand lifted, resting gently on my shoulder. “I want you and I always will..”I didn’t answer at once. My silence was dimming the hope in his eyes. Fear crept into them as though he already saw the door closing. “I said th

    TW: Animal's de*th.VELMARABeing among wolves always unsettled me. It stirred those old memories when some of them treated me as though I were less than nothing. I had lived in their world for a year now and even so, I sometimes still struggled to believe it. And tonight, here I was at their party. My gaze drifted over the crowd carefully until I saw a familiar figure.Tessa’s sister.Bridget? She’s here? The thought jolted me. And if Bridget was here, then…My eyes swept the room again, darting left, then right. And there, Atlas. Holding a wine glass in hand, speaking to someone.He was here too.The sight made me stumble back. A part of me wanted to vanish into the shadows before his eyes found me but another part refused to look away.No. It wasn’t im afraid of him after what I’d done to him. I'm afraid of the storm inside me, the unpredictable feeling that tore through me every time my eyes landed on him.“Ouch!"The small voice startled me and only then did I realize I’d coll

    TESSAWe arrived at the party later than planned. Velmara hadn’t wanted to come with us at all at first and it had taken both Irene and me to reassure her until finally she agreed.“I’m not accustomed to gatherings like this,” Velmara confessed softly just before we stepped inside.When I glanced at her, I caught the flicker of unease shadowing her face.Anxiety was seeping in, dimming her usual sharp composure.I reached out and took her hand firmly, “Hey. Breathe. I’m right here, you won’t be alone.”Her eyes darted to mine, “But I’m not one of your kind, Tessa. What if they don’t just reject me, but also humiliate me in front of all eyes?"Her words sank into me. Velmara never told me anything about the bat treatment from my kind before. And it made me realize then that she must have faced such treatment more than once at the hands of wolves who saw her as other. No wonder she has always closed herself in our presence until now. By taking her to this party, I hope to show her tha

    Third Person's POVOdette wished she could stay close to Frederick a little longer, but his cold demeanor felt like a blade that cut through the last of her hope. And when he finally turned away leaving her standing there, her hope shattered. What hurt even more was knowing that his eyes would soon be searching for someone else; the woman who had filled them with warmth just moments ago.Tessa.Odette had seen her earlier across the room. That was why she had tried so hard to pull Frederick away, to distract him. She couldn’t let him look at Tessa.She didn’t want to lose against her.Odette had imagined that tonight when they finally met again, Frederick would show at least some spark of excitement. She had hoped for even a hint of what they once shared, like the night they sealed their bond under the full moon. But she was wrong.It was clear now that Frederick didn’t want her near him anymore. The door to his heart was shut and this time, Odette Laurent no longer held the key.As
