Don't forget to comment your thoughts always. I'd like to know what you think per time. It means a lot to me.
Reyana hurried over to Klara's chamber on her way out of the Alpha's room. Her heart felt so heavy and she needed someone to cry to. She needed a shoulder to cry on.Without bothering to announce her presence, Reyana pushed the door open, her eyes already brimming with unshed tears. When she lifted up her teary gaze, they fell on two figures in the dimly lit room - Klara and Aldric.Klara was tending to his wounds while he lay on his stomach, wincing in pain. Aldric was in severe pain. Reyana's heart constricted at the sight, her gaze fixed on Aldric's battered form."Goddess, no..." Her voice quivered, a fresh stream of tears tracing down her cheeks as she rushed toward Aldric, intending to offer him comfort but his voice halted her mid-stride."Stop, Reyana. Don't come close," His words were strained as he spoke without sparing her a glance.Sensing the need for privacy, Klara excused herself with a soft clearing of her throat, leaving the two alone in the heavy silence of the room.
"Vi... Visha?" Aldric stared at her wide-eyed as he struggled to make sense of the whole situation, "You are the mole? You were the woman Reyana saw in the woods? Why? Who..." His questions spilled out in a rush, each word tinged with a mix of anger and confusion."Hold your horses, Aldric," Visha interrupted him, her tone calm yet firm, betraying no hint of guilt or remorse."What did you mean by the words you just uttered?" Aldric's voice trembled slightly, his throat constricting with emotions he couldn't name."It all happened on the previous full moon, Aldric. I found out we were mates." She broke the news to him, letting the words sink in slowly as she watched out for his reaction."What? That isn't possible, Visha. You are more deadly than I thought. You think I'd fall for this?" Aldric's disbelief laced his words, his gaze hardening as he stared at her in disgust, letting out an amused chuckle.Visha's lips moved in a rhythmic chant, invoking ancient powers as her palm traced
"We have a mole in our pack," Alpha Randall's stern voice cut through the tense atmosphere like a sharp blade, commanding everyone's attention"And we know we do not condone such," Alpha Randall continued, his gaze piercing as he scanned the crowd for any signs of guilt. "The penalty for such treachery is instant death," he announced firmly.Visha shifted uncomfortably in her standing position. Her eyes glistened with tears as she covered her mouth with her palm at the mention of the verdict against the mole.As Alpha Randall's eyes swept across the crowd, they briefly met with Merikh's. The Alpha's curiosity flickered at seeing Merikh among the pack instead of with his usual officials, but he pushed the thought aside for the moment. There were more pressing matters at hand, and he would address any concerns later.Merikh was seen holding onto his new mate, Isanda, whom he had just marked. She appeared sickly and weak, leaning on him for support. Despite her condition, she had been un
Reyana and Ria sat in silence in Reyana's small chamber as if they were both scared of speaking to each other.There was heavy gloom in the entire pack the whole night, following the event of that day.Isanda's absence left a void in the pack's heart. Her kind and loving nature had woven her into the fabric of the entire pack, and her sudden fall from grace left them reeling.She was loved by everyone in the pack. She was a sweet girl who lost her parents when she was very young. She was taken good care of by other pack members and everyone became her family."I am scared for my life, Ria," Reyana finally broke the silence, "I still can't believe I was mated to a monster like this," her voice quivered as she fidgeted nervously, her fingers trembling as she struggled to contain her emotions.Ria had exhausted all her soothing words. She knew there was nothing else to say. Randall was actually a monster, no doubt about it.Ria, having exhausted all words of comfort, offered a reassuring
Alpha Randall had met with Klara earlier that day and he asked her about the new potion she made for him two days before. Klara had told him she hadn't gotten a new recipe yet, but she was surprised it worked for the Alpha and she was happy. Although she hadn't administered any to the Alpha the previous night, but to their surprise, he had slept peacefully that night even without the potion. Alpha Randall thought sarcastically, 'Perhaps having sex with Reyana made him sleep.' He chuckled at the silly thought of that all by himself but somehow, that silly thought made him desire her instantly. He had to send for her. Moreover, she was his mate. He had every right to her at any time. "Come to bed, Reyana. Don't just stand there," He said when she stood unmoving. Reyana cleared her throat, she felt her stomach twisting with an unsettling emotion. How was he even acting like he didn't just order the execution of one of his own? What kind of a monster was he? And now he wants to crown h
Ria and Kellan spent some quality time together after Reyana left. Ria was more convinced that Kellan liked her.He had assured her beyond reasonable doubt that he was serious about her and that what he felt for her was genuine.Ria had decided to give him a chance, to see how things play out. But she was also going to tread with care and caution.They had both agreed that their relationship would remain a secret until they came up with a better way of letting it out.Ria felt butterflies in her stomach at how Kellan held her lovingly in his strong arms, making her feel safe and shielded."Kellan?" She called softly, lifting her head to look at his handsome face."Yes, my love," He replied, making her blush really hard."There is something that's been of great concern to me..." She started."Go ahead and tell me," Kellan replied."It's about the Alpha and my friend," she paused, looking out for his reaction. It was a sensitive topic. But she got no reaction from him. He only listened.
The grand chamber was adorned with pristine white drapes that caught the morning sunlight, casting a soft glow over the room.A beautiful young woman lay gracefully on the expansive bed, her delicate features illuminated by the gentle rays, her ethereal beauty creating an enchanting sight.She watched with a mix of longing and sadness at the tall figure of the man who moved around the room bare-chested, his muscular silhouetted against the bright backdrop. He was totally engrossed in whatever he was thinking about, almost forgetting that she was lying on his bed."Alpha," Naya's voice floated softly, like a delicate melody in the quiet chamber, "Do you want to attend the coronation?" Her large blue eyes filled with innocence and concern, remained fixed on him, silently pleading for his attention."No," he replied casually, not sparing her a glance.Naya's heart sank slightly at his indifferent tone. "So... does that mean you won't be going?" She was careful with her words, not wanting
Reyana's heart skipped a beat as she looked into his eyes, "Al... Aldric..." She called out in an almost inaudible voice as she made to touch his arm but he pulled back."Reyana," Aldric responded, his voice devoid of its usual warmth, sending a pang of hurt through her already wounded heart."Aldric... Can we talk? I want us to talk. Please," she said desperately, her eyes pleading desperately for him to at least grant her audience.Aldric's response was laced with bitterness and resentment. "I don't want to die, Reyana. I've learned the hard way that you walk away unscathed while others suffer for your actions.""No matter what happens, I am the one at the risk of being punished by death while you walk away scot-free," he added as he looked at her with slight disgust on his face."Don't say that, Aldric," her eyes welled up with tears, "I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice trembling with regret, "I should have listened to you that night. I should have..."Aldric's anger flared, "Wh
