MasukPenelope’s heart pounded so hard that she could hear it thundering in her ears. The guard seized her arm and yanked her forward. “Move!” She stumbled, barely catching herself before her knees struck the stone floor. Her legs trembled from weakness. Four days in that filthy cell had drained what little strength she had left. She had not bathed once. Dried blood clung to her torn clothes, and dirt streaked her skin. Her hair was tangled and matted, falling in unkempt strands around her face. She could smell herself, and the thought filled her with shame. She must have looked less like a person and more like someone who had crawled out of a grave. The guard dragged her through a long corridor and into a vast hall. A throne stood at the far end, raised above the polished floor. The Red Moon Alpha, Alpha Jake sat upon it, his expression hard and unforgiving. Several pack members occupied seats on either side of the hall, their eyes following Penelope as she was dragged inside. Be
The first wolf burst through the trees.Penelope's breath caught.Another followed.Then another.Within seconds, wolves emerged from every direction, their powerful auras crashing into the clearing and making her instinctively stumble backward.She had never been surrounded by so many powerful wolves before.Her heart began to pound.The wolves stopped the moment they saw the man lying on the ground.Silence.A terrible, suffocating silence.Then one of them stepped forward."Young Alpha?"The words came out barely above a whisper.Panic suddenly broke through the group."Young Alpha!"Several wolves rushed toward the unconscious man.Penelope stood frozen where she was.Her hands were still stained with blood.She looked down at them, and a fresh wave of fear rose inside her chest.This looked bad.It looked very bad.One of the wolves suddenly turned toward her.His eyes narrowed."Who are you?"Penelope's lips parted, but no words came out.More eyes turned toward her.She took
"What in the Moon Goddess's name had she stumbled into?" Penelope barely finished the thought before another growl rolled through the forest. She gasped and cursed under her breath.Her fingers tightened around the branch as she carefully pushed aside the leaves in front of her.Then she saw them.Two massive wolves stood beneath the shrubs, circling each other.One was covered in black fur, its eyes fixed on the other wolf with a frightening intensity. The second wolf had deep ox-blood fur, and from where Penelope sat, she could already tell it was larger.Neither wolf looked willing to back down.The black wolf lunged first.The ox-blood wolf moved aside just in time, its claws digging into the earth as it turned around. It snapped at the black wolf's neck, forcing it to jump backward.Penelope watched without moving. "What the heck are they fighting about?"She couldn't see any reason for it.There was no food between them. No other wolf.Just the two of them.The black wolf
Warm rays of sunlight slipped through the thick canopy above, breaking through the endless sea of leaves until they found her face. The gentle warmth stirred her from the restless sleep she had fallen into the night before. With a soft groan, she blinked several times before slowly sitting up.Every part of her body ached.Her shoulders felt stiff, her legs were sore, and the bruises she had earned from yesterday's events protested at even the slightest movement. She glanced down at herself. Parts of her dress were torn, exposing fresh scratches and dried streaks of blood. Twigs were tangled in her hair, and dirt clung stubbornly to her skin.She let out a slow breath.For a brief moment, she hoped everything had been nothing more than a terrible dream.It wasn't.The memory of her exile came crashing back without mercy—the accusing voices, the hatred in their eyes, the sentence that had stripped her of everything she had ever known.A dull pain settled in her chest.She closed h
" One, two, three...., why the fuck were three mean looking guards following us" Penelope asked her wolf in confusion. " He wants us to leave and make sure we cross his boundary without tricks" she answered in a huff. " Like as if we want to stay" Penelope countered back with a deep frown. " We want to Penelope, don't act like you don't" she said while letting out a deep sigh. " Not anymore" She replied with resilience. They reached the boundary then one of the soldiers called out to her. " Penelope" he said calmly as his face was covered with his helmet. " Sebastian?" she was shocked. " What are you doing here, don't tell me you sneaked out" she asked as warmth filled her heart. " Well just a little switching with the original guard for this escort but I'm here, aren't I" he replied in a rush while removing his helmet. " Come here" he opened his arms wide and without a second thought she crashed into his embrace with a restrained sob. " Go to the Dark Alley pack
The crowd shrank back in fear and disgust. The green field where Sophia laid was now crimson in colour and looked frightening. And with that the pack nurses rushed forward with a stretcher with Doctor John leading them, he stopped for a second and winked at her with a proud smile and she was baffled, he was....I mean he was supposed to be mad at her for being inhumane. Then a voice was being cleared and all attention was drawn towards to podium. Alpha Lucian stepped forward with a grim face. " With what happened just now, Penelope you will either be banished or choose to work" he flashed her a devilish smirk. " Your choice Omega" Her face paled at an alarming pace, she knew she was wrong but banishment was a bit overboard. Before she could gather her thoughts to respond, Sebastian snapped in anger. " For what!!, she didn't do anything wrong. Sophia was ridiculing her and besides this is a duel" he hollered out with despair written all over his face. Alpha Lucian's
The duel continues as he raised her up again to slap her but heard a warning growl from the captain, so he pushed her away like trash. Just when he thought she had given up and wanted to leave the circle, she stood up, yes she'll rather be beaten up than to give up like a coward after all she tol
As she opened the door, the aroma of pancakes and oatmeal wafted into her nostrils but another mouthwatering scent hit her too, Lucian. What was he doing here, does he wants to chase me already? , these disturbing thoughts made her frown slightly. "Come here". his voice a little hoarse as seeing
" Stop!!!, Ariana, please stop this madness" Penelope tries to stop Ariana from running like a crazy maniac." He despises me, I felt it from his aura". Came her monotone voice" Well, that's us, if you can remember, so stop running, i don't even know where we are, you need to........"." He alread
" I Alpha Lucian Dimitri rejects you as a mate, Luna and as a pack member, leave my pack this moment...." Lucian has always wanted a strong Luna not some sickly looking Omega. His mother lovely but weak, never wanting to take part in any form of training and his father indulged her because he lov
