The weight of his question hung in the air, thick with unspoken implications.

“Uhm, nothing serious,” I answered evasively, walking to the wardrobe, I could feel the weight of his gaze on my back, a pressure that made the hair on my arms stand on end.

My voice also lacked conviction. I could sense his frustration building as he stepped closer, the air between us thickening and his presence intimidating.

“That’s not the answer to my question,” he insisted, voice low and taut.

Taking a deep breath, I said, “Well, we didn’t discuss much,” glancing at him from the corner of my eye. “Just things about the pack.”

“Like?” he pressed, his tone sharp, demanding clarity. I could see the tension in his jaw, the way his eyes narrowed slightly.

“Well, what else would we talk about if not you?” I said, feigning nonchalance.

“What do you mean?” he asked, confusion flickering across his features.

“You didn’t tell me I was coming to meet another of your lovers.”

Ashton’s expression hardened. “Elar

    The man knelt down, his head bowed in remorse. "Sorry, I'm so sorry," he stammered, clearly flustered by the encounter."Sable," I whispered, and as soon as the name left my lips, he lifted his gaze. A flash of recognition crossed his face before he quickly bowed his head again.“You clueless fool! How could you not see her?” Elara lashed out.“It’s… it's okay, Elara," I replied, trying to calm her down. "Come on, let's go," she reluctantly did.So we left him and joined the others. I was happy to see him but also curious; I have so many questions to ask him.As soon as we entered the room, Ashton turned to me, his eyes assessing and probing. "You alright?" he asked, genuine concern etched across his features."Yeah, all cleaned up," I replied, brushing off his worry. But I could sense that he wasn't convinced. "What is it, Ashton? thought I’d eaten her up,” Elara asked with a mix of annoyance and amusement."I would be more surprised if you hadn't," Ashton shot back.Elara laughed,

    "Hello, Reena. A lovely day, isn't it?" Linda asked with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.Not now that you are here. "It is, indeed," I responded with a smile of my own, two can play this game.“I didn't know you were coming on this trip.”“Why's that?” I asked.With a casual shrug, she replied, "Well, because you know nothing about the pack, your coming along seems kind of… useless.”I inhaled sharply but kept my composure. I didn’t want to show her how much her words affected me.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ashton stepping out of his car to speak with Cauldron, then I faced her.“Oh really? Well, he might have had a change of heart. Which explains my being here.”“Not quite, you must have seduced or coerced him into bringing you along.”“Coerced? Ashton? That's surprising; I had no idea you held my abilities in such high regard.” I said with my hand to my chest.Her face contorted with anger and annoyance. "Of course I don't, you weakling!”"What are you guys talking

    Lyra rushed into my room the next morning, her voice cutting through the remnants of my sleep like a sharp knife. “Your Highness, wake up!” she called, urgency lacing her tone. Still drowsy from sleep, I squinted at the sunlight streaming through the window. “What is it?” I mumbled, rubbing my eyes. “The king told me to get you ready and to pack a few essentials for traveling.” she explained, her hands busy gathering my clothes."Traveling?" I exclaimed, the words he said about leaving last night replaying in my mind like a haunting melody. "But he’s the one who’s leaving today!" I protested.“Well, he said you should get ready,” Lyra insisted, her expression unwavering. Panic surged through me, this is not right. “I need to see him!” I declared.“Wait, Your Highness, he…”Without listening to her, I dashed downstairs, intent on confronting him. I needed to understand why he was taking me along with him.When I reached the grand hall, I halted abruptly. There, gathered around a lo

    "What was the situation?" I asked.“There have been kidnappings and killings going on.” As she spoke, I could see the worry etched on her face. “The lycan king is working on it though.”“Have those issues been resolved?”“No, but during the celebration, five members of our pack went missing. Now, everyone is scared.”A profound heaviness settled in my chest. These people are becoming like family to me. The idea that something malicious could threaten them sent chills down my spine."What measures are being taken?" I asked, my concern palpable."The lycan king has spoken with the elders and the guards. They’re increasing patrols and setting up watch groups. I hope it's enough," she said, anxiously."Okay, I hope so too. So, how was the celebration?" I asked, trying to cheer her up, and immediately her eyes twinkled.“It was so much fun! I really wish you could have joined us; you would have enjoyed it!”“All the same, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Lyra?”“Yes? Your Highness.”"Have you hear

    Okay, but it didn't just halt midway, it seems it's been restrained. I saw it snarl at something behind me and felt a shiver run down my spine. Instinctively, I turned around. And there he was, majestic and imposing, my tormentor as well as my savior. The lycan king stood in the middle of the hall with one of his hand raised.Turns out he used his ability to immobilize the beast’s movement. I exhaled, I’ve never been so relieved to see someone.With a swift wave of his wrist, he tossed the creature aside. It flew through the air, landing with a heavy thud.I felt momentarily relieved, but that relief was short-lived as the creature quickly stood up.I ducked behind a pillar as the beast shook its head, its eyes blazing with rage. It snarled and charged towards Ashton.They both fought, the creature exhibited immense strength, yet Ashton proved to be the more formidable opponent. Realizing it could not overpower Ashton, the beast then turned its attention toward me.Without hesitati
