Shattered Masks

It was not Andre standing before her beneath the moonlight, much to her shock it was Theo.

Bella’s breath left her in a quiet gasp as the silver mask came away in her hand, she backed away from the man standing before her. Her hands flew to her mouth muffling the shiver running through her nerves.

The soft glow from the moonlight caught the side of his face, no longer hidden, no longer disguised, igniting a mischievous smile over her face.

It was obvious— The gentle voice, the c

  • MARKED BY THE WRONG BROTHER   seventy six

    Shades Of Him.The corridors of the estate lay still in a hush that seemed heavier than usual, as though the very walls had absorbed the tension of the morning and now guarded it in silence. Sunlight streamed through the tall arched windows, casting pale golden lights upon the marble floors, but the warmth did little to dispel the lingering unease that lingered like an unseen force around him.Theo moved through the hallway with cautious steps, his expression was thoughtful, as his mind was burdened by questions that refused to quiet with time drifting slowly.The encounter in the gardens replayed in his thoughts with unsettling clarity. Andre’s gaze, had been intense and possessive, he should be used to it by now but somehow something was off…It was how Bella’s composed yet uneasy demeanor seemed to unrattle him that made him more concerned.The subtle tremor beneath her calm voice couldn't be hidden much as she had tried to. Something was wrong and he intended to uncover it.

  • MARKED BY THE WRONG BROTHER   seventy five

    Do all Alpha Get Jealous?The morning assembly dispersed slowly, like the mist as conversations resumed this time in hushed tones, as the grand hall gradually emptied, leaving behind echoes of polite laughter and unspoken suspicions that clung stubbornly to the air.Bella lingered near one of the stained-glass windows, her fingers clasped lightly before her. The vibrant colors painted her reflection against glass, yet the warmth of the light did little to ease the unease lingering in her chest.For now, their deception had worked just as they had expected it to but one thing she knew is it was better than to mistake a moment’s reprieve for victory.Drawing a steady breath, she turned and made her way toward the eastern corridor. The estate stirred with life around her as she walked cautiously, the servants carrying polished trays, the distant rustle of curtains stirred by the breeze, and the faint melody of birdsong drifting in from the gardens beyond.Everything seemed normal to sa

    At the Wake of DawnThe first light of dawn crept cautiously over the estate, spilling pale light across the towering walls amidst the dew that clung to the lawns. Already, Servants stirred quietly in the corridors, their footsteps hushed as they made their way through everything.The estate, though outwardly serene, bore the invisible weight of last night's event in a strange way.In her chamber, Eleanor had not slept. She stood by the window where she had remained long after Bella’s departure, her posture tiring with the dark look shadowing her eyes. The morning breeze slipped through the parted curtains, cool and crisp against her skin. It carried the faint scent of roses from the gardens below, a reminder of a world untouched by suspicion and deceit.Her reflection lingered faintly upon the glass, slowly time was slipping through her fingers.Eleanor closed her eyes briefly, steadying herself. She had long understood that survival demanded sacrifice, and that truth, when reveale

    All For The Good Of The PackThe night settled heavily over the estate, wrapping its towering walls in a hush that felt more like a warning of more trouble to come than peace. The wind stirred faintly through the corridors, whispering against the walls as though the past itself lingered in the shadows.Within her chamber, Eleanor stood motionless before a gilded mirror. The soft glow of candlelight traced the elegant lines of her face, illuminating a calm that masked the feeling of anxiety beneath.Her reflection did not waver, but her thoughts did. Andre’s gaze had lingered on her too long and now she wonders of it meant something or he was just being dramatic. His words though unexpectedly polite, carried a weight she could not ignore. He had apologized, yes, but beneath the civility lay suspicion that was triggered by her istinct. He was not a man easily deceived and he wasn't one to apologize or be polite and that made him dangerous.Eleanor exhaled slowly, her fingers tight

    Echoes of His Doubt.Andre’s silence stretched thin, taut as he looked around the room. His gaze moved between them, still probing.The air in the room grew heavy beneath his scrutiny, every second pressing down with quiet, suffocating tension.Bella felt it like a hand tightening around her throat. She kept her breathing slow and even, her lashes lowered as though exhaustion held them shut. Beneath the covers, her fingers curled faintly against the sheets, willing herself to remain still. Any misstep now, any flicker of fear could unravel everything.Eleanor stood poised beside the bed, her composure unshaken. One hand rested lightly on Bella’s shoulder to calm the younger woman, her expression composed with the effortless grace expected of her rank. If she felt the weight of Andre’s suspicion, she gave no sign.Andre took another step into the room..The soft thud of his boots against the polished floor echoed faintly in the silence. His presence seemed to draw the candlelight to

    Silent Footsteps.The sound came again unmistakably close. Bella’s breath caught as her gaze snapped toward the door. Eleanor straightened slowly, every trace of warmth from their earlier conversation vanishing beneath a look of fear and anxiety.The room seemed to shrink around them, its forgotten stillness now heavy with danger.Another step followed. Then a pause that made both women hold their breath.Bella’s fingers tightened against the edge of the settee, her heart pounding so loudly she was certain it could be heard beyond the door. The fragile hope they had begun to nurture only moments ago threatened to unravel, replaced by a familiar dread that curled tightly in her chest.Eleanor rose soundlessly, her movements controlled as she lifted a finger to her lips, signaling for silence. Bella nodded faintly, forcing herself to breathe more quietly, though her pulse refused to obey.The handle shifted and Bella froze.Just then whoever it was stopped and instead a soft knock fo

    Lurking In Darkness.The corridor led back to Bella's room who was completely unaware of the conversation just underneath her window if she looked outside.She wasn't in her room anyways. Bella had remained where she was until her father disappeared beyond the curve of the staircase. Only then did

    What Lingers in SilenceThe morning came quietly, almost too precise for a place that had known so much unrest the night before. It almost didn't feel like it even as the sunlight slipped through the tall windows in rays. Settling across the room in soft glitters.It brushed over the bed, over the

    Brothers By Blood.It was Theo when she turned. Even if she knew by his voice when he had spoken standing right there made it seem different.He stood in the doorway with his chest rising hard and falling. He was heaving heavily with his eyes darker than Bella had ever seen them. The force with
