I stood in front of the mirror, my slightly trembling fingers smoothing down the plain maid's uniform Isabella had managed to bring me.

The dull brown fabric felt rough against my skin, nothing like the expensive gowns I'd grown accustomed to wearing as Luna. It hung loosely around my body, deliberately oversized so I wouldn't attract attention.

Good.

That was exactly what I needed tonight.

Invisible, forgettable, just another servant carrying out orders.

I slowly adjusted the sleeves befo

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   Who Is Responsible?

    LyraFor several long seconds, I simply stared at Gwen.Then, almost instinctively, I slowly lifted a finger and stuck it into my ear, giving it a little wiggle before pulling it back out again.No... Surely I'd heard wrong.I blinked once, then twice. Finally, I looked at Gwen."...What did you just say?"She sniffed, her shoulders trembling as fresh tears gathered in her eyes."I..." Her voice cracked. "I'm pregnant."The words hit me all over again.My breath caught.Pregnant?My eyes instinctively drifted downward, settling on her stomach before looking up at her again. It suddenly felt as though I was seeing her for the very first time.All the signs I had noticed in the past suddenly flashed through my mind: her loss of appetite, the days she'd looked unusually pale, the mornings she'd insisted she was simply tired or had eaten something bad.How had I missed all of it?"...What?"I slowly walked back toward the bed before lowering myself beside her."Gwen..." I searched her fac

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   Leaving The Pack

    LyraThe moment I stepped into the room, I let out a dramatic groan."Remind me again why you have to leave?"Gwen glanced over her shoulder, a small smile tugging at her lips as she continued folding the rest of her clothes left in my room before placing them neatly into the travel bag resting on the bed."It'll only be for a brief while, Ms. Lyra. Once I finish taking care of my sick aunt, I'll come back to Stormfang."I leaned against the doorframe and crossed my arms. "I still don't like it."She chuckled softly. "I know.""No, you don't." I walked farther into the room. "I really don't like it."Her smile widened.I watched as she packed another dress, smoothing out every wrinkle before placing it inside."I'll be back before you even realize I'm gone," she assured me."That's easy for you to say."She laughed quietly.I sighed dramatically before throwing myself onto her bed."Isn't there anyone else who can take care of your sick aunt? Why does it have to be you?"Gwen paused.

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   Beyond the Pack Gates

    MayaThe distant voices echoed through the hallway, growing closer with every passing second.Gretchen heard them too.A slow, wicked smile spread across her aged face.The look alone sent a chill crawling down my spine.Before I could react, she suddenly lunged forward and seized my wrist. Her fingers clamped around me with shocking force."I've got you now," she hissed.I gasped. "Gretchen—""You're going nowhere!"Her grip tightened until pain shot up my arm."You'll remain in this pack," she snarled, her eyes gleaming with twisted satisfaction. "You'll stay here and give Alpha Alaric the pups he deserves!"Panic slammed into me. "No!"I yanked backward with all my strength, trying to wrench my hand free.Nothing.What the hell?How could an old woman possess this much strength?I twisted, pulled, and shoved against her, but her grip refused to budge. It felt like iron shackles wrapped around my wrist."Gretchen!" I shouted desperately. "Let go!""No."Her lips stretched into a tri

    Maya"Going somewhere, Maya?"Everything inside me froze.My heart stopped beating for one terrifying second.The color drained from my face as every muscle in my body turned rigid.No...I slowly turned around. The moment my eyes landed on the figure standing behind me, my stomach dropped.Gretchen.She stood a few feet away, her wrinkled hands folded neatly in front of her as though she had all the time in the world. Her silver hair was pinned into its usual tight bun, and the dim light only made the sharpness in her old eyes even more unsettling.Her old, sharp eyes swept over me from head to toe, lingering on the oversized maid's uniform, the faded apron, and the plain white nose mask covering half my face.A slow, mocking smile tugged at the corners of her lips."Did you really think this disguise would fool me?"She shook her head, letting out a dry chuckle."You could dress yourself in rags, wear a servant's uniform, or hide behind a masquerade like this..." She took one unhurr

It hung loosely around my body, deliberately oversized so I wouldn't attract attention.Good.That was exactly what I needed tonight.Invisible, forgettable, just another servant carrying out orders.I slowly adjusted the sleeves before tying the faded apron around my waist. My fingers fumbled with the knot twice before finally getting it right."Calm down..."I whispered to myself and drew in a deep breath before picking up the plain white nose mask lying on the bed.One last disguise.I slipped it over my face, making sure it covered my nose and mouth completely before tucking a few loose strands of hair beneath the cap.Just then, a sudden, soft knock on the door nearly made me jump out of my skin.Before I could even res

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   A Desperate Alliance

    MayaThe sound of the door opening pulled me from my restless thoughts.Isabella stepped inside the room, quietly closing the door behind her before turning to face me."You... sent for me, Luna?"Her voice was calm and respectful, but I could hear the faint uncertainty beneath it.For a brief moment, I just looked at her.A lump formed in my throat.No matter how hard I tried... every single time I saw her, that image of her and Alaric together in bed forced itself into my mind.I shut my eyes for a brief second, trying hard to forget it and erase that sight from my mind.For over a week, I had forbidden Isabella from appearing before me because I couldn't bear looking at her without remembering that night.During those long days alone, I replayed Alaric and Gretchen's conversation over and over again.I had spent countless sleepless nights trying to come up with a solution, one plan after another, but every possibility ended the same way... failure.Because no matter how much I hate

    Kael“Fucking asshole!”I rubbed my temple in irritation as Asher's furious voice exploded inside my head.“Will you shut up already?”The damn mutt had been yelling at me nonstop ever since I left Lyra's room.“No, I won’t shut up!” Asher barked furiously. “What the hell was that?”I shot back, “Y

    LyraGrowing up, I had always been told that there was no greater love in the world than the love in a matebond. It was deeper than love, stronger than loyalty, and more powerful than anything else.But then, I had also been told about the darker side of the bond. A love this strong could become a

    LyraMy whole world collapsed in one night.I sat silently in the backseat of Samuel’s car as the dark road stretched endlessly ahead of us. My mind kept replaying the same horrifying images over and over again until I felt like I was suffocating beneath them.My fingers tightened around the silver
