Jacob's POV

I hated how other girls leer at him without restraints in public, I couldn't bear the sight of it. Even if Jacob hated my guts,I resolved in my heart to stay and love him with all I have. My wolf, Nala, didn't agree on that, she always argued in my head.

Nala was right; I deserved better, but I couldn't help it. I was in love and I resolved to stay. Afterall, werewolves didn't live extraordinarily long lives. I was already past the young age and life was too short to waste it without being in love even though I knew I wasn't happy.

As Luna and the wife of the head Alpha, I wanted to, by all means, make my marriage work. I didn't want to be made the laughing stock of the fellow lunas and be shamed by the entire pack. For my dignity, I knew that it was necessary that I remained steadfast in my dedication to my husband, regardless of how he might act towards me—

Jacob suddenly came in interrupting my thoughts.

“It's almost time for the party and you haven't prepared?” He growled in a harsh tone.

“What party?” I asked with a look of confusion written all over my face. I didn't remember him informing me or talking about any party. These days, he's used to giving me impromptu tasks and updates. In his words, I just have to be prepared for anything that comes up.

“The party organized by the Alphas of different pack to celebrate peace and friendship between ourselves for the past years”

“We are invited to it and stop sitting there moping at me.” He bellowed, and I felt myself suddenly begin to space out.

“But I..” I argued but Jacob cut me off.

“No buts, get dressed, we leave in about five minutes. If it wasn't for the fact that your presence as a Luna is needed, I would certainly be going with Juliana. She looks more presentable to go with than you anyway” He replied scornfully as he left the room.

Juliana was my elder sister and Jacob grabbed at every opportunity he had to compare and place her over me, everything especially in the aspect of looks. True Juliana’s beauty surpassed everyone else, but beauty wasn't everything!

With a beautiful set of gap teeth, wonderfully pointed nose and a skin that glowed like precious stones all the time, there could be no argument that Julianna's seraphic features were rare to be seen even in other packs.

Rumors had it that Jacob had eyes for her even after we've been married. I didn't want to believe that at first because he was already mated to me and according to the stories my mother told me, werewolves of Jacob's pack can be very possessive of their mates.

According to her, once you've been mated to them, it's hard to get out…at least not alone. But secretly seeing the way Jacob literally responded to Juliana's flirtatious looks and stares all the time, I immediately got that story out of my head.

At the same time, I hated the fact that Juliana caught Jacob's attention. She once bragged within my earshot about Jacob being so loving in bed but obviously, I ignored her like always. I knew more than anybody that she was merely trying to get under my skin. And even if she wasn't fabricating lies, I didn't want to doubt my husband's fidelity in any way by confronting her without proof.

I suddenly came into reality as I heard approaching footsteps. I quickly adjusted myself just as Juliana entered. Her hair glittered in the red hue of the chandelier light as she walked majestically towards me.

She looked just as perfect as always and everything I'm not-beautiful, sexy body, glowing skin, bold and extremely wicked.

Inside me,I wondered how someone with such an angelic build could manage to be so cruel and ruthless at the same time.

“Hey sis, having another fight?” she asked with heavy sarcasm in her voice. Obviously, she had heard everything that transpired between Jacob and myself.

“None of your business, it's my marriage and you have no rights to eavesdrop or make decisions about it” I fired back.

“Little lamb,watch your tongue. Your place as a Luna here was definitely not on merit, if it wasn't for the fact that you're of royal blood who would have thought of you by now?” She replied with a mischievous grin on her face.

By now, I began to boil with rage inside. To calm myself down, I got up and headed outside, but that enraged her the more. Before I could make a step, I felt a slap land on my back. I turned around and pushed her to the wall. She screamed as her head hit the hard tiled wall.

Her shrill cry had attracted attention towards us, and soon I heard Jacob's footsteps coming towards us.

“What's happening here?” He inquired as he glared at me suspiciously, his eyes filled with rage and disdain.

Before I could say a word, Juliana immediately answered, “Honestly, I don't even know why she's jealous of me. She's accusing me of plotting to take her place as Luna”.

Brainwashed and enraged, Jacob turned fully towards me, his eyes darkening fiercely as he made a steady approach towards my direction.

“Why should you allow your jealousy get the better part of you? Why do you have to attack her? Is it her fault she is in a better position to be Luna than you?”

I was so shocked that I stood rooted to the ground for minutes. Alpha Jacob must have really been mistaken. In a fit of anger, I rushed at Juliana once more, and without care for her wounds, I made to attack her a second time.

Reading through my bloodlusted intentions, Jacob immediately read my movements and stopped me before I could get closer to Julianna. Fiercely, his strong arms encircled mine and he forcefully yanked me away as though I was worth nothing.

He stood straight and his next words reeled me back.

“I Alpha Jacob son of Alpha Swan and Luna Lola of the Starlit park reject you Caroline Ashton as my mate hereby stripping you of all the rights and privileges bestowed upon a Luna—”

“You shouldn't do that” a voice echoed in the darkness.

    Lisa's POVI struggled against my bonds as I was roughly dragged by one of the goons as we went to the palace. I couldn't believe that this was happening. I had been captured by the werewolves after all despite my best attempts. They had learnt their lessons the hard way so my hands were tied behind stopping me from using my powers to escape.They all must have looked an intimidating sight to anyone watching judging from their appearance. The sentinels around must have never heard of shirts as their upper bodies were bare leaving their well defined muscles to all and sundry. In a different world I would have swooned at the sight of all these hot male bodies around me.The brazen show of bodies was something that creatures like the vampires wouldn't do. They more much too noble and proud to behave barbaric. At least in public. When outside, their lords affected a gentlemanly air around them that could fool the unwary.

We couldn’t rest yet.Dorian scanned the empty lot, his sharp eyes searching for threats. When he was satisfied we weren’t being followed, he gestured for me to follow. The motel’s chipped paint and broken sign told me everything I needed to know—no security cameras, no questions asked.Inside, the air smelled of stale cigarettes and mildew. The receptionist barely glanced at us as Dorian handed over cash, securing a key without a word. He didn’t ask how long we’d stay, and I was grateful for that.The moment we stepped into the room, I locked the door and sagged against it, pressing my forehead to the cold wood. The adrenaline was wearing off, leaving only exhaustion and the lingering terror of how

Not until I knew exactly what I was stepping into.As the plane taxied to a stop, Viktor unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to me. “This is your last chance to turn back.”I met his gaze. “You and I both know that’s not an option.”His jaw tightened, but he said nothing. He stood and grabbed his coat, nodding for me to follow. The moment we stepped off the plane, a sleek black car was waiting for us, the driver already holding the door open.I slid into the backseat, my fingers curling into my lap as Viktor settled in beside me.

    “Sir! It’s such a pleasant surprise to see you!” Rey was instantly greeted by a very excited Aldred Winsley.The man was grinning sheepishly at him. He seemed almost starstruck, like a fan meeting their favorite celebrity for the first time.‘He’s literally gushing…’ was Rey’s impression as he nodded slightly, entering the room.‘I was just asking your subordinate here when we might see you next.’Rey glanced at Noah and noticed him giving an uncomfortable smile.‘Were they pressuring him to convince me to come? Is that why he took so long?’It was just a guess, so Rey dismissed it.“In any case, it really is good to have you here. We have a lot to discuss.”Taking a seat on the sofa, Rey observed as Noah quickly positioned himself behind him.‘Good. He knows how to keep appearances without me needing to tell him…’ Rey felt relieved.Noah seemed to be able to handle himself in business now, but sometimes he was still an indecisive klutz.Like now, when he allowed his time to be delay

    “Keuk!”Billy winced as something landed heavily on his stomach, the force of it creating a rush of wind even before impact.Fortunately, his quick step backward lessened the impact of the blow by a considerable degree.‘A-ahh…!’Still, a sharp burning sensation spread across his abdomen, making him grit his teeth to suppress a cry.It stung him, to say the least, but he endured the pain.He also tried to hide his downright shock, but Billy failed woefully at that.His bulging eyes were glued to Rey, who had resumed his standby stance—almost as if prepared to deliver another volley.‘D-did Rey just land a hit… on me?’ Billy stared in disbelief.Sure, Billy was aware that he lacked the advantage of using his incredible Skills, but his Stats were meant to be superior.How was Rey able to do something like that?!‘Calm down, Billy.

    After the Trial, everyone went their way and Rey had to return to his room.Although he had the freedom to wander the central Living Room, he opted to stay put since he preferred not to.No one could blame him.As night descended and everyone else slept soundly, a certain student couldn’t sleep."Damn it…" He muttered, his eyes were wide open as he stared at the ceiling. Before long, he sat upright and clapped his hand over his face.“I screwed up big time…” He murmured in the dark.It was hard to make out the expression on his face, but it appeared to be a grimace. ‘I didn’t expect to be asked for another testimony. It wasn’t part of the plan…’In the dark of the night, Adam Sanchez lay on the bed going over the earlier events of the day.How he had been humiliated before everyone.“I really fucked up!”“Ahh… don’t blame yourself too much.” A voice suddenly said from the corner of the room.“Eep!”Like a little child, Adam shrieked as he jumped from his position, startled.The figu

    In a luxurious office in an undisclosed location, a man stood by the window, paying no attention to the elegant chair and stunning desk behind him.The blond hair on his head was a lot longer than a man’s, but a tad shorter than a woman’s. He had a few wrinkles on his face, indicating his age, and a short beard that was neatly trimmed.His outfit matched the layout of the room—elegant and clearly expensive.He was watching the events of the marketplace—the Black Market—with a smile on his face.As one of the six members of the Obsidian Council, it pleased him to see the community thriving.As he savored the taste of his wine and reminisced, a sharp knock interrupted his thoughts. The man’s emerald eyes snapped towards the door, his smile slowly fading.“Come in.”The door creaked open, revealing a man dressed in a lavish waistcoat and formal attire. Despite his youthful appearance—likely in his early thirties—the wisdom reflected in his gaze betrayed his age. This was Aldred Winsley
