Dangerous Games

Penulis: Stella YX
(Aria’s POV)

The room’s suffocating tension grew thicker as Whitney shuffled the shimmering silver-edged Moon Cards with a practiced smirk. Her voice rang out, syrupy sweet but laced with unspoken malice.

"Let me explain the rules for those who might be… unprepared," she began, her hazel eyes scanning the room, lingering on me with a mocking glint.

The deck gleamed under the subdued light as she continued. "Two people per team. To choose your partner, you’ll draw matching moon phase cards from the deck."

She held up a small card, its surface etched with the crescent moon. "Once chosen, you and your partner must maintain physical contact while playing. Simple, yes? But there’s one catch."

Whitney’s lips curved wickedly as her gaze cut to William.

"The losers," she drawled, "must obey any reasonable command the winners issue. Pack laws of respect and tradition apply, of course."

My hands tightened at my sides. The word *reasonable* hung in the air like an unspoken joke, its meanin

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   Silver's Retribution

    (Derek's POV)I stood motionless in the shadows, watching Whitney Stone through my ceremonial mask. The moon cast an eerie glow across the abandoned warehouse at the pack territory borders. My enhanced pack guards had positioned themselves strategically around the area, blocking all possible escape routes.Whitney was still fuming, her scent sharp with anger and frustration. I knew the source of her rage—Alexander Blackwood had publicly snubbed her at the Silver Moon Pack Gathering earlier. Her pride had been wounded, but that was nothing compared to what awaited her."One hundred silver-enhanced dominance slaps, then take her to Silver Shadows," I repeated my order, my voice distorted by the wolfsbane essence in my mask.Whitney's head snapped up, her eyes widening as she realized the command was directed at her. Fear washed over her beta wolf as the implications sank in. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably."I've never offended your pack territory," she protested, her beta

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   Silver's Retribution

    (Derek's POV)The silver-enhanced ceremonial mask felt heavy in my hands, its weight symbolic of the burden I now carried. I traced my fingers over the gold-trimmed edges, feeling each intricate pack symbol etched into its surface. This mask represented more than just my alter ego—it was freedom from the constraints of being Derek Silverstone, heir to a corrupted pack legacy.Tonight, I would become justice itself.I slipped the mask over my face, feeling the familiar sensation of wolfsbane-infused material against my skin. The ancient symbols I had painted on my neck burned slightly, activating the power-masking enchantment that would prevent other wolves from sensing my true alpha presence."The vehicles are ready, Alpha," Samuel's voice came through our secured pack bond.I exited my private chambers, the fabric of my black formal pack robes whispering against the silver-reinforced floors. The mansion was quiet, most of the staff having retired for the evening. Only Marcus Stee

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   Silver's Vengeance

    (Derek's POV)My phone vibrated. Samuel Gray's number flashed on the screen."I'll be there in twenty minutes, Alpha Silverstone," he said, his beta voice steady and reliable as always."Make it fifteen," I replied, ending the call without waiting for his response.I stood at the window of my private den, gazing out at the brightly lit Silverstone Pack estate. The sprawling grounds, manicured to perfection, gleamed under the moonlight. My ice-blue eyes narrowed with hatred.This feeling wasn't new. I'd harbored this resentment toward the main Silverstone territory since childhood. The beautiful landscaping, the impressive architecture—all of it disguised the rot beneath. A pack ruled by a monster.Victoria Silverstone had destroyed what was precious to me. Now I would do the same to her."An eye for an eye," I murmured, my voice barely audible even to my enhanced wolf hearing. "A life for a life."I moved to my private bathroom, unwrapping the bloodstained bandages from my wris

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   Silver's Vengeance

    (Derek's POV)The silence that followed my mother's departure felt suffocating. I stood motionless, my bandaged wrists throbbing beneath the wolfsbane-infused dressings, a constant reminder of my failed attempt to join Aria in the ancestral hunting grounds.Sarah lay on the silver-reinforced floor where my mother's enhanced pack guards had thrown her after bringing her to my estate. Her face was bruised, lip split, formal pack robes torn – all evidence of Victoria Silverstone's "persuasion" methods.I turned to Marcus Steel, my beta housekeeper, who stood nearby. His face had drained of all color after witnessing the confrontation between me and my mother. His beta wolf was clearly terrified, eyes darting between Sarah's injured form and my cold expression."Get a pack healer for Sarah," I commanded, careful to keep my overwhelming alpha presence tightly controlled. After my near-death experience, my wolf was dangerously unstable, prone to flares of power that could harm weaker wol

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   A Mother's Cruel Game

    (Derek's POV)Time seemed to slow as I stared at Dr. Reed's battered form on the floor. His beta wolf presence flickered weakly from the silver burns covering his body. The silver dagger felt heavy in my hand, its deadly edge still pressed against my uncle's throat.I could end him now. One quick slash would send Richard Cole to the ancestral hunting grounds. A fitting punishment for trying to drown me in silver-infused water when I was just a cub. The memory burned sharp in my mind—the fire in my lungs, my wolf's silent scream as silver poisoned our bond.But Aria's face flashed before me. Her violet eyes filled with that gentle understanding that always made my wolf whimper. What would she think of me now, ready to kill my own uncle out of rage?My gaze shifted to Dr. Reed again. His lips moved, forming silent words through his pain: "Don't...do it."Alexander Blackwood and Sarah Rivers were the most important people to Aria. If I killed Richard, my mother would attack them. I c

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   A Mother's Cruelty

    (Dr. Reed's POV)I jerked awake, a silent scream lodged in my throat. The nightmare had returned—Cassandra Silverstone's face contorted in agony, her wolf fading as silver poison coursed through her veins. Victoria Silverstone standing over her, that same terrible smile I'd seen today.My hands trembled as I wiped cold sweat from my forehead. The silver burns on my body throbbed, a visceral reminder of my current predicament. Three days of torture at Victoria Silverstone's command had left me weak, my beta wolf whimpering inside me.The pack healing chamber where they kept me was more prison than medical facility. Moonlight filtered through the wolfsbane-infused window, casting eerie shadows across the silver-reinforced floor. The door remained locked, guards posted outside—not to protect me, but to ensure I couldn't escape.I stared at my reflection in the polished silver surface of the medical tray. My face was nearly unrecognizable, bruised and burned from Victoria's "questionin
