And the perfect opportunity presented itself like a gift on the table. While Cayden was discussing something with that annoying-as-hell Beta and a few other important figures from Blue Moon Spark, the knight, who I figured his name is Philip, walked in. He greeted everyone, then casually strolled over to Cayden’s side and whispered something in his ear. Cayden whispered back, but when he lifted his gaze and met mine across the room, his whole body shook. According to Cayden’s reaction? Nothing. He brushed it off like it was nothing and told him to wait until breakfast was done.I kept eating, stealing glances at Philip, slowly putting food into my mouth, picturing him instead. I swear, I still wanted Cayden but somehow, I wanted this knight even more. I needed to get Cayden out of my head. I didn’t ask for any other men to deal with. So what was I even doing with this one? What did I want? I wasn’t sure. But I had made myself a promise: I would have him. It was my last four days. I n
Soon, the most anticipated night finally arrived. Elena and the other maids had helped me get ready. Apparently, Darren didn’t just have powerful blood and genes — he also had insanely fast hair growth, because the chunk I hacked off during that stupid plan had already grown back."Impressive," I muttered, running my fingers through it.They helped trim it into perfect bangs and dressed me in one of the most beautiful outfits I had ever seen — the sleeves so long they drowned my hands, the fabric flowing around me like water. Even in a male body, I felt like a damn bride."Perfect," I said, spinning a little as my gorgeous cloak billowed around me."Calm down, gorgeous. Save all this drama for your Alpha," Elena teased.I turned to her, smirking. "Don’t worry. You’ll find your Alpha very soon.""I already found him," she said with a dreamy sigh.I blinked. "Who?""Ryan, of course," she said shamelessly.I gasped. "Stay away from Ryan!""Calm down, calm down, you greedy monster," she l
And then I was tossed back into Caden's arms. He grabbed me by the waist and leaned in to whisper,"What did you two talk about?""Nah, it's just an old friend," I said. Caden narrowed his eyes. "I’ve never seen the two of you talk.""Enough with the questions," I said, brushing him off. "Didn’t you say tonight would be about me and you?"He grinned a little. "I did.""Good. First, we need to get out of here."Without hesitation, he pulled me out, leading me through the woods. We moved deeper and deeper until we reached a secluded spot where the trees glowed under a soft, magical light. Right at the center, there was a picnic map laid out carefully, surrounded by plates of food arranged beautifully."This is where we're staying tonight," he said, his voice almost reverent.It was breathtaking—the lights, the trees, the peaceful stream running just beyond the clearing. It all felt surreal like a dream spun into life.I rushed forward and plopped down onto the blanket. Then, stretching
My eyes fluttered open, vision blurry and wet.Pain. God pain everywhere.I tried to move, but my arms wouldn't budge. Thick iron chains clamped around my wrists. I looked down and froze. My legs were jammed inside a bucket, blood spilling over the rim, staining the floor red.What the hell?!Are they collecting my blood?!Fear slammed into my chest. My throat burned."Cay...y...den," I croaked weakly, the name barely leaving my lips. I was in serious trouble. I was going to die.Then, a voice cut through the room, smooth and dripping with venom."Can't believe the Moon Goddess picked someone this dumb to bear the Almighty powers."That voice.That goddamn voice.The voice that once made my stomach flutter now made my blood run cold.Philip.He sat nearby, lazily sipping from a cup, surrounded by a few other men. Realization hit me like a truck.No. No, no, no.What the hell have I done?Rage, shame, and heartbreak crashed over me.Damnit! What the fuck has my stupid heart done to me?
"Darren, Darren, wake up. Darren, wake up. Look at me!"I could feel my body shaking, reality pulling me back in. I fluttered my eyes open and met a pair of red eyes glaring down at me, full of fear and desperation."Thank God you're alive. Thank God," he said, voice thick with emotion.It was Cayden.He pulled me into a tight hug. "I knew you couldn’t die like that. I knew you were stronger than this. Those bastards who played with our lives—they won't get away with it.""Cayden... is that really you?" I croaked."It’s me, my love. Nothing happened to you," he whispered fiercely.But I knew the truth. I had died. I had felt it—the knife sinking in, my existence slipping away.What was happening?I should have died. I should have left this body behind.Instead, I stood outside myself... and then somehow came back.Was this magic? Was I playing with something I didn't understand? Was I flirting with fire without even knowing it?Cayden helped me up quickly, supporting my weak body as h
I was finally out of the healer’s chambers. It was now day three.Cayden had taken me far away from the palace, far away from the Blue Moon territory altogether, just because I claimed it was too traumatizing. I didn’t want to see the healer. I didn’t want to see anything that reminded me of Philip… or of Darren himself. I just needed to stay away. I needed space.As expected, Cayden made it happen.We sat now in the middle of a vast garden, surrounded by blooming flowers. The scent of them filled the air, almost suffocating.I was sipping coffee while Cayden fed the small animals nearby, tossing them bits of fruit. For a while, everything felt... almost peaceful.But then he turned to me.His red eyes locked onto mine, and stayed there too long.I thought maybe he was just admiring me, so I tilted my head, smiling sweetlyeven acting a little cuter to charm him.Until he spoke.“You smell weird,” he said.I blinked. “What?”Cayden stood, crossed the space between us, and grabbed my ha
Day 2The day hasn’t been nice at all. Everything feels sluggish. Today is almost the last... Tomorrow will be my final day here with Cayden. Ryan has already sent a letter. he’s coming to get me once Cayden’s week is over.Cayden isn’t happy about it.He’s been trailing me everywhere I go, his eyes never leaving me. Always following. He’s taken me to his meetings, and his bathrooms.And honestly? I’m kind of loving this prince treatment. But still... what if my eyes change color again? Or my hair? Worse what if my breasts return mid-sex?I chugged my coffee in panic, immediately burning my tongue.“Ow.”“Your sudden love for coffee still amazes me, my love,” Cayden said, his eyes glued to the map in his hands.“Well, what can I say? People changes. And I guess I’m one of the people.”“Mmhmm,” he replied distractedly.“What’s on that map anyway?” I asked.“I figured, when you leave—since next week you’ll be at Another Park—we need to be prepared. In case you don’t pick us. In case the
The screen of my phone went dark, but the residual heat of that scene still simmered beneath my skin. "The intensity of those three Alphas vying for him never failed to ignite a visceral thrill."“Ah,” I breathed out, rolling on my bed like a high school girl, a soft sound of pure, unadulterated satisfaction escaping as the scene replayed behind my eyelids. Scorching. Consuming. My heart still echoed with the frantic rhythm of the story’s climax, the agonizing choice he had to make. Just one choice, one moment, would change everything.A sigh escaped me as I turned onto my side, the image lingering.“It’s… art.”However, a selfish part of me still yearned for the delicious chaos of a different outcome. But no, the narrative had chosen its path, guided by the inevitable pull of singular love. A concept that, in my current state of heightened arousal, felt… less than ideal.Screw love’s complications. Lust—now that was a language I spoke frequently.The digital clock on my phone flashed

I stood up and started my wak toward the Alpha Chamber. As I walked, the pack members couldn’t stop greeting me, bowing, and smiling. A few even stopped to congratulate me, their words laced with excitement and gratitude. They were all laughing, their joy almost overwhelming.Wow, this is ridiculous. I thought. They’re acting like I’ve already chosen an Alpha.I hadn’t even made that decision yet, and they were treating me like some kind of deity. What would they do if I chose one of the alphas? Build a statue of me and start worshipping it? Well... that would feel nice, I mused, but it wasn’t a conversation for now.Finally, I spotted the Alpha Room. To my surprise, there were no guards in front of it, as I’d imagined there would be. Without hesitation, I stepped inside.The room was cluttered with strange and unsettling items. Swords, wolf heads, blood bags, and other oddities filled the space. But my focus was only on one thing—the kettle. There it was, sitting majestically atop a
As soon as I entered the chambers, Cayden gently guided me back to the bed. He helped me remove my clothes, his touch careful yet filled with concern.“I’m still worried about the chunk of your hair that got cut,” he said, his voice laced with worry.I met his gaze, smirking slightly, and forced a smile. "No, I’m not worried about it. It’s fine. Can I just have a moment alone, please?"Cayden hesitated for a moment, studying me. “I hope you’re not regretting anything,” he said, his voice soft but filled with concern.I cut him off, my tone firm. “I’m not regretting anything, Cayden. I just need some time to myself. Please.”He gave me a look of understanding before nodding. “If you need anything, just tell any of the maids. I’ll be at the meeting with the others.”I nodded in response, watching him leave the room, the door softly clicking shut behind him.What just happened? My mind was still reeling. In a world where I could wake up in my favorite book’s protagonist's body, it made s
