I sat on the edge of the bed as the healer, an old woman with peculiar attire and an even more peculiar aroma clinging to her – something akin to over-roasted carrots, I mused – began her examination. Courtesy, a newly acquired skill, forced a smile onto my face as she drew closer, the pungent scent assaulting my nostrils. Her touch was surprisingly firm as she probed and pressed various parts of my body, seemingly perplexed.

"Ow," I instinctively reacted when her fingers pressed into my lower groin.

"You seem physically sound," she declared, her gaze distant. "The eggs do not appear to have caused significant harm. However," her brow furrowed, "I am curious about the persistent coughing."

"Perhaps I simply choked," I offered dismissively, hoping to steer her away from the truth.

But Cayden, who had been observing from behind her, interjected, his voice carrying a note of concern. "Normally, even a trace of egg causes his entire body to flush red. This time, it was only his face."

    I wasn’t exactly prepared for the sudden turn the afternoon would take. But then again, when was I ever prepared for him? Without a word, Cayden yanked off his shirt, revealing a sculpted torso that was honestly, unnecessary I was already quite aware of what I was dealing with. His remaining clothing? A strip of cloth so minimal, it barely qualified as attire. Naturally, I was supposed to be impressed, I guess.And, okay, I was. Just a little.He dove into the ocean with that loud, splashy entrance, sending droplets flying in every direction like he was on some romanticized beach getaway in a movie. A few droplets hit my face. I blinked them away, trying to look aloof no one was going to think I was impressed but the truth? He was working me like a pro.“Come on in, love,” he called, grinning like the perfect golden retriever. “Take off your cloak, shed your clothes, and join me.”Now, let’s be clear: I was not above appreciating a good, confident invitation. And he was certainly conf

    The lingering romance of the beach faded as we returned to the imposing grandeur of the palace. The shift back to reality was palpable. Soon after arriving, the quiet anticipation of sleep settled over the household.The next morning, a strange heat coursed through me upon waking. It was an unfamiliar sensation, a primal stirring deep within, almost like a restless growl of a wolf I didn't fully understand. It wasn't just a physical heat; there was a yearning, a hunger that went beyond mere physical desire. And yes, Cayden’s undeniably attractive presence wasn't exactly helping to cool the sudden internal fire.I indulged in another luxurious milk bath, the creamy liquid now feeling less like an extravagant novelty and more like a welcome balm against the unfamiliar heat in my veins. The delicate scent of lavender filled the air, a soothing counterpoint to the restless energy thrumming beneath my skin.This morning, I chose a flowing white cloak. As the maids styled my hair with extra

    Of course, he ran after me, his footsteps echoing through the hallway. His voice, usually so commanding, was now laced with a desperate plea. And yes, I confess, there was a part of me that reveled in the power dynamic, in making the mighty alpha beg. But the image of that unlit kettle, the potential for exposure, was far more terrifying than any fleeting satisfaction.He finally caught up to me, his hand gripping my arm, a little too tightly. "Ouch," I started to protest, but the words died in my throat as he crashed his mouth against mine. My wolf, that unfamiliar, instinctive part of me, practically howled with excitement. Despite my resolve to maintain the act, to keep a careful distance, I found myself responding, my lips softening beneath his fierce and demanding kiss. His sweetness was addictive, his touch a dangerous allure that threatened to shatter my carefully constructed walls. Soon, I was breathless, our faces flushed and heated.He finally broke the kiss, his forehead r

    I fluttered my eyes open. We had thoroughly wasted each other and after, I did everything I could not to fall asleep. Once I was sure Cayden was out cold, I slipped out of bed. I waved two fingers in front of his face. No reaction.Perfect.Thank the stars most of the guards and maids already recognized me. It made it easier to slip through the halls without raising suspicion. Some even bowed their heads as I passed. Cute.Now, I just needed to find that damned kettle. The kettle. The one thing that could expose me. But no. I wouldn’t let it.If I found it and realized it wouldn’t respond to my touch, I’d destroy it myself. No hesitation.I darted toward the chamber from earlier the place they dragged me to for the political farce of a meeting. And there it was. Just… sitting there.Seriously?I had prepared for a full-blown stealth mission. Bribes, distractions, tears if needed. But instead? There the bastard sat, bold as ever, on a polished table like it owned the room.Did it r

  • Greedy Me Wants All Alphas to Myself    Goodbye

    After thinking and thinking and thinking… I must’ve passed out, because the next thing I knew, the maids were waking me up again. They’d prepared my bath and laid out my clothes. But this time, I wasn’t feeling any of it.I wanted the day to move slower, to drag its feet like I was. So, I started rejecting every outfit they brought forward. One after another. I ordered them to bring all the best cloaks. And still I kept rejecting them. One by one.Maybe if I skipped today entirely, I’d have more time. More time to think. Or maybe… sneak out of the palace. Find the healer. Beg her. And explain to her so she can do something about this mess.And if I could find a way to exhaust Cayden in one week? I could move on to the next suitor. At least that way, I’d be free of this Kettle disaster. That thought alone felt bold. Brave, even.So I kept saying no. No to every cloak. Every accessory. Every attempt until he brought one.“My love,” Cayden said softly, holding up a rich, dark cloak with

    I closed my eyes tightly as I walked toward the center of the crowd. "Everyone, please join me in thanking the Moon Chosen for coming to life and stepping into this crowd to help us with the Kettle of Peace. All hail the Moon Chosen! All hail!" The words rang out in unison, the crowd erupting into a cheer. Even the former Alphas raised their glasses in a mock-toast, their eyes burning with a mixture of pride and bitterness. All eyes were now on me some filled with desperation, others with pride, and many with excitement as they eagerly waited for me to light the Kettle. Their hopes were pinned on me. I walked toward the Kettle, gripping my cloak tightly. God, no. This can’t be happening. But I had prepared myself for the worst. I took a deep breath, steeling myself, and reached out to touch the Kettle. The moment my fingers made contact, I could feel its cold, ancient energy pulse beneath my skin. It was a battle of wills me against this object, this symbol of power and my destr

    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

    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

    “Darren, Darren, please calm down!” Elena’s voice trembled as she rushed to my side. Her small hands gripped my wrist, trembling, trying to soothe the rage that poured from every inch of my body. “Please, it won’t be a big deal. Trust me, we’ll—”I turned to her, sharply. My voice cut through her plea like a blade.“Please,” I said, and for once, it wasn’t begging. It was warning. My eyes locked with hers, and I felt the burn behind my lashes. “You keep telling me it won’t be big. That it doesn’t matter. But how can you say that? This—this is supposed to be him proving his love for me.”I stood still, chest heaving, heart bleeding behind my ribs. “I was confused before, Elena. When they all bombarded me with their pretty words and possessive gazes, I didn’t know who to pick. I didn’t know who deserved to be picked. But I chose. I’m trying to choose. And now? If he wants to make this difficult—if he wants to keep playing these little child games—I’ll make the decision for him.”My voic

  • Greedy Me Wants All Alphas to Myself    Disappointment

    Well, disappointment hit us like a slap to the face.No one came to meet us. No Ryan. No delegation. Just a few guards who looked like they could buy and sell the Blue Moon estate with pocket change.But I must say-Riverdale was huge. Enormous. Blue Moon looked like a pampered toddler next to this place. The gates were towering, the estate stretched far beyond what I could see, and the wolves here... they were different. These weren’t battle-worn soldiers or sweet, starry-eyed villagers.These were aristocrats.Even the guards wore tailored coats, thick woven sashes, and cloaks embroidered with sigils I didn’t recognize. Their boots gleamed. Their hair was combed back in sleek styles. And the way they moved calm, slow, expensive.When we stepped down, two of them reached to help me out of the carriage gently, like I was something precious.Then they pushed Elena back.I turned fast, my voice cold. “She’s my maid. You treat her with the same respect you show me.”They paused. One of th

    My heart was breaking.No...shattering.Everything I had built, every little piece of control, every wall I raised, every plan I held onto—it was all crumbling, one by one, like sand slipping through my fingers.Then, mercifully, Elena entered.“My Lord,” she said softly but firmly, “they are outside waiting for you.”And somehow… those words gave me the strength I needed. Just enough to push Cayden away.“I’m sorry, Cayden,” I whispered, my voice quiet, almost broken.And he didn’t stop me.He just stood there, watching. Watching me pack my things. Watching me walk away from him. Watching my back as I left him behind.His fists clenched tight at his sides, knuckles white, body trembling but he didn’t follow. Not this time.When I stepped outside, the weight of a hundred stares fell on me. Betas. Elders. Pack members of Blue Moon, their expressions twisted with confusion, pity… maybe even contempt.But I held my head high.And then I saw him.Ryan.Waiting, composed, flanked by his gu

    Cayden immediately rushed after me.“Darren! Darren”I stormed into my chamber and slammed the door in his face hard.But before I could lock it, he forced it open and grabbed my wrist.“Let me go!”“My love I'm sorry?” His voice was rough, desperate.“You let them embarrass me,” I spat. “You let them call me a monster, a thief. You stood there while they accused me of stealing my own body, Cayden.”He looked stunned, like he didn’t see it that way.“I thought you loved me. I thought you trusted me,” I hissed.“But no because I didn’t choose you, you turned on me. You made your pack treat me like an invader. You let your own people...your traitors kidnap me and stab me.”My voice cracked. “I could’ve died, Cayden.”“I..”“And what did you do in return?” My chest heaved. “You stood there and accused me. Accused me of being an imposter.”I started packing. I couldn’t stay another night here. Maybe I had a day left in this cursed deal, but that one day could be the one that revealed ever

    I'm exposed.My secret...my circuit, my curse...it’s finally out. No more pretending. No more illusions.But one thing is for sure.Even if they kill me, I’ll come back into this body. This is my cage now. No matter how they try to dispose of me, humiliate me, lock me away... I’ll still be here. Trapped.They think this is justice?When Philip and his goons tried to kill me that night, they proved the worst part. I can’t leave this body. Not unless they find the mirror where I buried it.But no.I’m not going down like this. I won’t give up. I can’t give up.I turned to Cayden. My voice trembled with something between fury and desperation.“You really believe her?”The prophet stepped forward again, cool and steady. “Alpha, soul-shifting cases have been reported before. The spell comes from a forbidden text one used by werewolves who’ve trained in shadow magic. They say it’s taught by a dark figure. One that visits in the dead of night.”Her words were a noose tightening around my nec

    Cayden and his goons were here.He’d brought the prophets. Three figures, eerie and ancient-looking, and seated himself at the center of the summoning circle like this was some kind of royal ritual.I stood there, clutching the strange mark Elena had found on my neck, fingers trembling. I’d prayed it was just some scar from the seagull attack. Something explainable. But now, I wasn’t so sure.The prophets moved quickly, forming a tight circle around me. Their robes swept the ground as they poured some silver powder onto the floor. I watched in frozen silence as the powder began to shimmer ash white and ghostly forming a glowing ring around me.They started chanting.Low and guttural at first. Then louder. Louder. My ears rang. My vision pulsed. The ash lit up with an unnatural glow, swirling with white light that climbed the air like smoke. My heart slammed against my chest.No. No, no, no. This can’t be happening.They’re going to find out. They’ll know I’m not supposed to be here.

    “Who are you? What are you? And why are you always helping me?” I demanded, my voice echoing through the dark void. “Why now?”The cloaked figure tilted its head, slowly. “You are asking the wrong questions.”“What do you mean?” I snapped, frustrated. “Tell me what this is.”The figure’s voice dropped lower, ominous and steady. “You are in danger. That body you wear... it does not belong to you.”A chill slid down my spine.“And to keep it, you will have to make a great sacrifice.”I hesitated. “A sacrifice...?”“Yes. Many. But I’m here to assist you in doing what it takes to hold onto it.”“And why is that?” I asked sharply.“You will understand in time,” the figure replied. “Just consider me... a force you can call upon. A presence in the dark. One that helps you survive.”The silence was sharp.“The power inside you,” they continued, “must be used wisely. You and I will help each other. I need that power inside you to accomplish something... and you need me to blend into this world

    Soon enough, night fell.Elena had declared she wouldn’t leave my side. Instead, she took me out into the open.Tonight was a full moon.One by one, they all began to transform—silver fur bursting through the skin, bones reshaping with wild grace. They howled at the moon in unison. Even Cayden joined them.But not me.The Moon Chosen doesn't need to howl.I watched in silence as the sound of their cries echoed into the dark. Then, just as suddenly, it ended. The wolves shifted back to their human forms. Laughter, food, and dancing followed.That’s when Cayden came to me, eyes dark with intent. I knew what he wanted.But Elena stepped between us, gripping his wrist.“No,” she said firmly. “He’s not leaving my side. Not after what happened. He was rigged, nearly killed. Stuff like that won't ever happen again. And besides”—she gave a tight smile—“tomorrow’s my last day with him. Let me steal him, just for tonight. Please.”Cayden looked at me.

    My breath stalled.All that horniness, the feverish heat, the way my body had just melted into his—it vanished. Gone in a blink. I shoved Caden off, just slightly at first. My hand trembled as I reached for the map.I had to grab it before he saw.But he was faster.Caden snatched it from my reach, eyes scanning. “What’s this about?”I watched, heart hammering.The map… had changed back. Its content was normal again.I exhaled a shaky breath. Relief swept through me.“What happened?” he asked, looking confused. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”“I thought I saw… something,” I muttered.Then he smirked. “You’re so into me, you’re starting to hallucinate?”He chuckled and moved toward me again, hands outstretched to resume where we left off.But I backed away, jaw tight.“No. Just… put your robe back on. I need space.”I dressed quickly, barely aware of my shaking fingers. Then I was out the door. I could feel his gaze on my back—confused, frustrated, maybe even hurt.What the hell j
