Hades,

The celebration was in full swing, laughter and music echoing in the air. I stood among the crowd, a glass of wine in hand, my thoughts anything but on the festivities around me. Persephone, with her ever-present thirst for power, had been trying to get my attention all evening, her eyes following my every move like a predator circling its prey. She had no idea I could see through her. But that didn’t stop her from playing the game.

I noticed the moment she slipped the request to the bartender. The aphrodisiac she asked him to add to my wine—how predictable. I wasn’t fooled for a second. The moment Carlos had sensed her plan through the mindlink, he’d alerted me, his voice sharp and urgent. “She’s trying to drug you, Hades.”

I played it cool, raising my glass to my lips, swirling the wine as I considered my next move. Persephone didn’t know I knew. She was oblivious to the fact that I was fully aware of her manipulation. I let her think she was in control. I let her believe sh

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    It wasn't lust

    The moment Elysia’s body pressed against mine, something inside me snapped—a shift that I didn’t expect, but couldn’t deny. Her hands, trembling with a mix of urgency and confusion, fumbled with the buttons of my shirt, as though the fabric was the only thing separating us. I should have stopped her, should have put distance between us and reminded myself that this was a dangerous game. It was going to be another hate game between us. But in that instant, all I could feel was the overwhelming heat of her skin against mine, the way she seemed to fit into me as if she had always belonged there.Her breath was shallow, her chest rising and falling in quick succession as she fought the effects of the drugs those bastards had given her. I could feel her body trembling—her strength and her vulnerability intertwined. She was a warrior, a fighter, but right now, in my arms, she was nothing more than a woman on the edge. The sharp scent of her, heady and wild, only fueled the hunger that I

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Violated...

    Elysia,The first sensation that I was aware of when my eyes fluttered open was the sharp pounding of my head, like a thousand hammers were relentlessly striking my skull. My stomach twisted uneasily, and the very air around me felt thick and heavy. I could feel the weight of someone else’s presence beside me, the warmth of another body—his body.Hades.My breath caught in my throat, my heart racing as panic surged through me. My skin felt sticky, coated in a sheen of sweat, and the heat radiating from the body next to me seemed to press down on me like a suffocating force. What happened?The memories came back to me in fragmented flashes—hazy images of the night, the sound of laughter, the taste of the wine, and then... a sharp, searing pain in the back of my neck. The world had tilted, everything spinning out of control as the edges of my consciousness blurred. I had been drugged. I tried to push myself up, my body aching, my legs unsteady. But the weight beside me only pulled me

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Found her

    Hades,The first thing I noticed when I woke was the silence.A thick, heavy silence that filled the room like a suffocating fog. My eyes snapped open, instinctively searching the room. There was a lingering warmth in the air, the soft scent of her still clinging to the sheets, but she was—gone.Elysia.My heart clenched. Panic gripped me immediately. The sheets beside me were rumpled, as if she had tossed and turned, but there was no trace of her. No sign. I shot up from the bed, the sense of unease growing with every passing second. The light filtering in through the window told me it was still early morning, but everything felt wrong. My hands were already moving, searching for any sign of her. Her scent was faint, almost indistinguishable, swallowed by the air. I stood up, fists clenched, and immediately reached for my clothes, my mind racing. She couldn’t have just disappeared. I wouldn’t let her. I’d been in her presence just moments ago, and now... nothing. Where the hell is

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Your fault

    The moment she turned her face toward me, my breath caught in my throat. Wide, haunted eyes stared back at me—eyes that held an emotion I couldn’t quite place. Fear? Betrayal? Pain? It twisted inside me like a knife, the cold edge slicing through something raw inside my chest. "You... you left," I said, my voice rough, as if the words themselves were scraping against my throat. She flinched. A barely noticeable tremor ran through her body, but I saw it. I felt it. "I had to," she whispered, and something about the way she said it made my stomach tighten. Had to? My hands curled into fists at my sides. I had searched everywhere for her. Gone mad trying to find her. And now she was standing right in front of me, acting as if she had no choice but to disappear? “What do you mean you had to?” My voice came out harsher than I intended, but I couldn’t control it. The rage. The frustration. The goddamn ache that had been sitting in my chest since the moment I woke up and found

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Realization

    The air felt too thin, too cold, pressing against my lungs with each labored breath. Elysia's body, typically taut with her unyielding defiance, was limp in my arms. Her chest rose and fell too shallowly for my liking, her skin pale as if the very life had been drained from her. The blood from her nose had slowed, but its remnants stained her skin like a constant reminder—of my carelessness, of the cruelty I'd inflicted on her without even thinking.I ran, not paying attention to the pounding of my feet on the earth, nor the snapping of branches around me. All that mattered was the fragile weight of her in my arms. Every step I took was laced with panic, with guilt, and with the overwhelming urge to undo everything I had done. The spell, that cursed magic, had been meant to protect her—to keep her near me, safe. But it had only done the opposite. It had burned her, both physically and emotionally. And now she was barely clinging to life.I gritted my teeth, my jaw aching from the forc

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Not an ordinary Wolf

    For her better treatment and comfortable stay, I decided to discharge her from the hospital. With this decision, I decided to go somewhere where I should have from the beginning. To her father, Gamma Celeriac. The journey from the hospital to my residence was a blur. Each passing moment felt like an eternity. Elysia’s body remained still in my arms, her breathing shallow, as if the weight of the world had pressed down on her fragile form. I could barely concentrate on the road, my mind consumed by the burning guilt that gnawed at my insides. Every beat of my heart seemed to echo the torment I felt for what I had done to her. I had broken her. I had broken her in a way that couldn’t easily be undone. She misunderstood the entire situation but the pain I caused was unforgivable. As I entered my residence, the doors slammed open with a force that rattled the stone walls. I strode through the entrance with purpose, my every step heavy with the weight of responsibility.

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    A never-ending nightmare

    Elysia,How did I end up like this? How did my strength suddenly drain from every inch of my body, leaving me hollow and weak? I stood frozen, my vision blurred, my breath unsteady. My mind refused to process what I was seeing. Ruby—the tiny, strange-looking creature—was burning two bodies. A sickening wave of nausea crashed over me. My stomach twisted painfully, and the next moment, I doubled over, vomiting onto the ground. My entire body trembled, cold sweat forming on my skin. My heart pounded erratically, my mind spinning. I had been drugged. My body ached in ways I couldn’t explain. And now, my pet—my gentle, affectionate Ruby—was burning human bodies as if it had been waiting for this moment. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, my breathing ragged. My stomach clenched again when I saw the flickering flames reflecting in Ruby’s round, teary eyes. Ella, my wolf, stirred inside me, but she felt weak, distant. It was as if something was preventing her from reaching me

    "How are you feeling right now?" Dad asked gently, his voice laced with worry as he held a spoonful of porridge before my lips. The strong scent of herbs filled the air, making my stomach churn slightly. I nodded quietly, unable to summon the strength to speak. My body felt drained, as if all the energy had been sucked out of me, leaving behind nothing but exhaustion. Even Ella was weak, her presence flickering in the back of my mind like a dimming candle. The results from my blood test had confirmed the worst. Those two people had not only injected me with an aphrodisiac but had also poisoned me with a slow-acting venom. A cruel, calculated toxin designed to kill me slowly if I did not receive the antidote in time. Their plan had been meticulous. Before attacking me, they had already decided my fate. First, they would violate me, shattering my soul, and then the poison would finish the job. Dad’s hand trembled slightly as he brought the spoon closer. His eyes, always so strong

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Revenge of Carolina

    Carolina, The lights of the grand manor flickered like a dying flame as I stepped through the threshold, uninvited, unseen for years, but never forgotten. My heels echoed against the marble floors, the sharp rhythm slicing through the silence like a blade. I knew where he would be—where he always ended up when the world became too much for him. Drowning himself in whiskey, in bodies, in power. And tonight, I would be the ocean that pulled him under. Jonathan Hornet. Who tossed me aside once he met Elysia. He promised me that he would make me his Luna. He used me , my family and friends to get favor from them. But once I was no more useful, he forgot my existence. He used to say my name like it was a prayer. Now, it would taste like poison on his lips. I stood at the door of his private chambe, the guards already dismissed or unconscious with liquor and bribes. They had grown careless, just like him. Inside, I could hear muffled laughter, moans, the sound of ice clinking in a gl

    Jonathan, The memory of her voice echoed in my skull like a mocking bell. " I am already marked, can't Alpha Jonathan sense it? Or you don't have that ability!" Those words—those sharp, venom-laced words—had silenced the entire ballroom. Every eye turned toward me, not with admiration, not with fear, but with barely concealed pity. As if I were a dethroned monarch, stripped and paraded before the wolves I once commanded. She made a fool of me. She knew that I wasn't blessed. She knew that I was only an Alpha in name and she mocked me in front of everyone. That bitch... She was supposed to kneel down, spread her legs and carry my heir. She was supposed to be my perfect slave. But instead, she threw herself onto that bastard. How dare she!!! I clenched my jaw as I stared at the broken glass on the floor. I had crushed it in my hand without realizing, shards still embedded in my palm. Blood trickled between my fingers, but the pain was nothing compared to the searing rage in m

    The sky had turned a soft gray, painted with streaks of peach as the sun began its descent behind the lake. The gentle rustling of wind through the trees whispered against the glass walls of the penthouse, and the koi pond shimmered with scattered reflections of the dying light. Hades lay beside me, his arm slung protectively across my waist, the remnants of our shared warmth still lingering on our skin. My fingers trailed along his collarbone, tracing the faint lines of old battles that lived quietly on his body. He looked peaceful—more peaceful than I had seen him in a long time. His dark lashes rested against his cheeks, his expression soft in sleep, like a child who had found momentary safety. But I knew what lay ahead. I had to return to my pack, to my father, and to the mess Jonathan had created in my absence. And I had to do it without Hades.I couldn't tell him that I was ordered to be executed... If he knew that this had been happening behind his back, he would kill Jonat

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    The origin of Ruby's name

    " I want to have a baby after everything settles down!" I whispered in his arms. The soft rustle of leaves outside the open window carried the scent of night-blooming jasmine, folding into the air between us like an unspoken promise. The moonlight filtered through sheer curtains, casting gentle shadows over Hades’s features. He looked so peaceful, so human, so mine in that moment that my heart clenched in a way I hadn’t expected. His hand caressed my waist, firm and warm, anchoring me to the present. “Do you mean it?” he asked after a long moment, voice quiet, hesitant, almost boyish in its vulnerability. “About the baby?” I nodded without hesitation, brushing a stray strand of hair from his forehead. “I do. With every piece of me. I have forgotten about those nonexistent past. But now I am here with you, with Ruby and my father, I want to be happy and have my own family. A proper family!” He exhaled slowly and pulled me closer, pressing my hand to his chest where I could feel

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Making up

    I hadn't told Hades about the verdict that Jonathan announced. I knew the man lacked spine, but behind him, it was Luna Astoria who was clearly pulling the strings. Her influence had grown insidiously, and now it was starting to threaten everything I had built—everything I had bled for. But as much as I wanted to face that battle, today wasn’t about the pack or the politics.Today was about the strain in my relationship with Hades. That silent tension that hummed in the air whenever our eyes met but neither of us spoke the words buried beneath the surface. He didn’t want to talk about the past. And I didn’t want to force it out of him. But I also couldn’t let this chasm grow wider. We had already lost too much in our previous life. I wouldn’t let silence steal what we still had left.After lunch with his parents—an unexpectedly warm and light-hearted affair—I excused myself and made my way toward the penthouse he had built near the lakeside. Hades had once called it his place of solit

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Acknowledgement

    The Wraithborn Pack had not changed much over, though I saw it now with different eyes. Its stone walls still stood tall, carved with ancient symbols of power and legacy, but the air was different. It wasn’t suffocating as it once had been—not bitter, nor judging. It had been still cheerful and peaceful. Despite having some uneasy feeling, related to that night, I started feeling close to the Pack. Maybe I was marked by the Alpha of the Pack. The sense of longing wasn't frail. I walked along the marble path, hands clasped behind my back. The garden was awake with life. Roses bloomed red like secrets kept too long, and silver ivy curled against the wrought iron arches. I hadn't talked to Hades about the conflict between us. He left soon after we spent some time together. He was really busy with handling everything that he left unfinished when we went to the human world. My Man is really hardworking. "Elysia."The voice was familiar, but it lacked the pride I once associated with h

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Perverted thoughts

    Elysia,In my previous life perceptive, Hades and I were sworn enemies who were ready to kill. However, after learning the truth about his nature, it was clear that my Blood sword wasn't enough to kill him. And even if he killed me out of spite, it was completely understandable and acceptable. He wasn't nothing to me in my previous life. It was me who killed him, and I had no rights to hold such a grudge.But I felt so heartbroken after remembering the child I raised inside me. I knew that he had his reasons, but I started grieving for the baby that would never exist in this life. The ache was quiet, nestled somewhere deep, but it was persistent—like the residue of a love song that never finished."Elysia!"Dad's voice brought me back to the house. Hades left soon after I fell asleep... Or I pretended to fall asleep last night. He apologized precisely, thinking I was sleeping. But I couldn't, because my emotions were rollercoasters—too steep, too fast. I was torn between anger, confus

    The silence weighed heavy in the room. My chest rose and fell with shallow breaths as I knelt beside the bed, head lowered, fists clenched. The storm inside my head refused to calm. I had betrayed her. No matter the reasoning, the truth could never be buried. The blade had come from me. From Carlos. From the ones who had sworn to protect her.And she didn’t even know. She didn't even get the chance to see who stabbed her from behind.Our target was to destroy her heart. Serene said once her heart would be corrupted, we wouldn't be able to stop her. So we did what we were supposed to do.Or so I thought.The guilt hollowed me from the inside. It wrapped around my ribs like a serpent, squeezing, choking, taunting me with her soft breaths that lingered behind me.She was alive. She was breathing. But she wouldn’t be when the truth surfaced. And yet I couldn’t tear myself away.I stayed there, frozen, as each second dragged like an eternity. My vision blurred. The pain of it—what we did,

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Memories of Past life

    Hades, The night air was quiet as we stepped into the manor, but the stillness did little to soothe the storm brewing within me. Elysia walked beside me, her expression unreadable yet beautiful in the low candlelight. She hadn’t said much since we left the ballroom, but her silence wasn’t emptiness—it was concentration. Her mind worked like mine. Both of us were thinking of the Book Knowledge and the parts we had recovered.We reached the chamber where the pieces were laid out—ten fragments of ancient parchment, each humming with a soft, otherworldly pulse. Elysia closed the door behind us and stepped into the circle they formed.“Tonight,” she said, her voice quiet but firm, “we find out what they were hiding.”I nodded once. “Are you ready?”She glanced at me, her eyes a reflection of fire and shadows. “Always.”Together, we began the invocation. The symbols etched into the floor around the parchment glowed faintly as Elysia spoke in the old tongue, her voice a melody lost to time.
