AXEL

I stepped inside, my eyes scanning the dimly lit interior. The air was thick with the scent of smoke and something else... something sweet. I moved cautiously, my senses on high alert, as I made my way deeper into the space. Tom followed close behind, his presence a reassuring reminder that I wasn't alone. We moved in silence, our footsteps echoing off the walls as we delved further into the unknown.

My heart skipped a beat as I caught sight of Eliana, her eyes locking onto mine with a mixture of fear and relief. She was standing in the center of the room, her wrists bound by thick ropes, a look of desperation etched on her face. My instincts kicked in, and I felt a surge of adrenaline as I took in the scene. Without hesitation, I moved towards her, my eyes scanning the room for any signs of danger.

My eyes widened in horror as I took in the scene before me. Eliana's father, his face twisted in a snarl, had his hands wrapped tightly around her throat, his fingers digging deep int

    ElianaThe voices of doubt grew louder, a deafening chorus that echoed through my mind. "You'll never be able to do it," they screamed. "You'll never be good enough."I felt like I was shrinking, dwindling away to nothing. My confidence was eroding, worn away by the constant barrage of negative thoughts.I couldn't escape the feeling that I was trapped in a never-ending cycle of self-doubt. Every step forward was met with two steps back, every small victory overshadowed by a crushing defeat.The world seemed like a daunting, overwhelming place. Every challenge loomed large, every obstacle seemed insurmountable. I felt like I was standing at the foot of a towering mountain, with no hope of ever reaching the top.‘I wasn’t capable of…’The words trailed off, lost in the depths of my own self-doubt. "I wasn't capable of..." What? Of succeeding? Of achieving my dreams? Of being loved?The uncertainty was suffocating, a heavy fog that shrouded my mind and obscured my vision. I felt like I

    ELIANAA loud shattering sound made me spin around, and my eyes widened as I took in the broken glass scattered across the floor. The window was smashed, and Herald's face was etched with fear. Without hesitation, I used the distraction to my advantage and pushed him aside. But it seemed he had anticipated my move, and his grip on my arms was swift and firm. I winced in pain as his fingers dug deep into my skin."Let her go this instant!" The familiar voice was low and commanding, sending a shiver down my spine.

    AXELI watched the scene unfolding before me with a mix of disgust and anger, Herald's cowardice and her feigned pain starkly evident.I wasn't buying any of it – I knew both of them were putting on an act. Herald's nervousness and her fake shame weren't fooling me for a second.She'd been in cahoots with her father just days ago, and now she expected me to believe she was some kind of victim? Please. I wasn't born yesterday. Did she really think I was that gullible, that naive? It was insulting.My anger simmered, but it wasn't mostly directed at her – it was the self-proclaimed pack elder who had the guts to tell me he bought someone.The man's blatant disregard for honour and decency made my skin crawl.I took a menacing step closer, my voice dropping to a low growl. "Do you want to lose your position as an elder in this pack?" I snarled, my eyes blazing with fury. He met my gaze, attempting to conjure up a pitiful expression, but it only made me more disgusted.

    ELIANAI felt a surge of gratitude toward Axel for rushing to my rescue.His demeanor caught me off guard. Typically, he was stern and inscrutable, but this time, I detected a hint of something beneath his reserved exterior, something that piqued my curiosity."Let's go," he ordered, and Tom fell in step behind him. I stood there, frozen in confusion, unsure if he intended to take me with him or leave me behind.I had a question, but I kept quiet, still feeling embarrassed about the awkward hug I'd initiated, and the fact that he'd completely ignored it."Come with us," Tom ordered, and a wave of relief washed over me.Living with this monster was unthinkable, yet a lingering fear held me back. I recalled my father's ominous words, warning me of the dire consequences if I failed once more.Although I knew Axel was strong and powerful, a lingering fear still haunted me. What if my father retaliated and Axel wasn't around to protect me? The thought of my father coming for me when Axel w

    ElianaHis words hung in the air, and the tension I thought was dissipating increased. "You don't have to worry, I don't care about your personal business," he said, his tone calm and collected, yet laced with a hint of defiance. My heart skipped a beat as I tried to decipher his true intentions. Was he genuinely uninterested in my personal life, or was he just saying it to placate me, to ease the tension that had been building between us? Or perhaps, he was speaking those words out loud, more to convince himself than me, a way to shield himself from the effects of his own anger and frustration. The uncertainty swirled inside me, making my mind race with questions. Did he truly mean what he said, or was it just a momentary lapse of emotion, a reaction to the heated moment we shared? I searched his eyes for answers, but they seemed to hold a million secrets, leaving me wondering if I'd ever truly understand what lay behind his words.I tried apologizing again, hoping that my words woul

    ELIANA"What are you doing?" he asked, his voice sharp with suspicion. I dropped what I was holding immediately, my heart racing as I tried to think of an explanation. My hands instinctively went to my sides, trying to appear nonchalant. "Just, uh, just looking around," I stammered, hoping my response seemed innocent enough. Axel's eyes narrowed, his gaze darting to the object that had fallen from my hands. I held my breath, praying that he wouldn't notice anything out of the ordinary. But as his eyes met mine again, I couldn't shake the feeling that he saw right through me.My heart was beating fast, pounding in my chest like a drum.

I had been drifting off, my eyelids growing heavy, my mind slowly unraveling the threads of consciousness. But the knock came, abrupt and unannounced, like a sudden storm on a calm sea. I groggily got up, my movements slow and reluctant, and made my way to the door, wondering who could be visiting at this hour. The knock came again, louder and more insistent, and I quickened my pace, my heart beating slightly faster in anticipation. Who could it be? A friend, a stranger, or perhaps someone with news? The possibilities swirled in my mind as I reached the door and hesitated for a moment, taking a deep breath before opening it to face whatever lay on the other side. The uncertainty was palpable, and I steeled myself for what was to come, my hand r

    ELIANA"Thank you very much," I said to her. She smiled and nodded, seeming to accept my gratitude. I felt a sense of appreciation for her willingness to share information with me, even if it was limited. The conversation had left me with more questions than answers, but I was determined to learn more. I stood up, and she followed suit, our eyes meeting in a brief moment of understanding. "I will go and freshen up now, I will meet you later," I said to her, and once again expressed my heartfelt gratitude for the delectable meal she had prepared, "and thank you for the extraordinary culinary experience, the flavors were sublime, the presentation was impeccable, and the warmth with which you served it was truly touching, I'm deeply appreciative of the effort and care you put into cooking such a wonderful meal, it's a pleasure to dine with someone as hospitable as yourself, and I look forward to reciprocating the kindness in the near future, thank you for the food, it was a treat for t

    ELIANA"Hey, Emily," Sarah greeted Emily with a warm smile. Emily's eyes flicked to Sarah, and she returned the greeting, but her gaze quickly snapped back to me. I could sense a mix of emotions crossing her face - surprise, curiosity, and maybe a hint of wariness. It was clear that she hadn't expected to see me here, and I wondered what she was thinking. Sarah seemed oblivious to the tension, chatting with Emily about her day and what she'd missed. I stood there, feeling a bit like a spectator, as Emily's eyes continued to dart between Sarah and me, her expression a mask of polite interest. But I knew that beneath the surface, she was probably wondering the same thing I was - what was going on, and what did it mean for us to be roommates?Emily smiled at Sarah. "Hi," Emily said, her greeting warm and friendly. But when I greeted her, she didn't respond to me. Instead, she seemed to freeze, her smile faltering for a moment as her eyes met mine. It was as if she was choosing her respon

    ELIANA"When is it?" I asked, my curiosity piqued as I leaned in slightly, eager to know the details of the alpha's annual ceremony and what it might entail, especially given the intrigue and importance surrounding such an event."Tonight," he replied, his voice low and smooth, the word hanging in the air like a promise or a warning, leaving me to wonder what the night would bring and what lay in store for me at the alpha's annual ceremony.Alphas and their Lunas were going to be present, I remembered always begging Gabriel to let me go along with him, to be a part of that world where power and prestige walked hand in hand. But he never agreed, always saying it wasn't important for me to be there, that my presence wouldn't add any value to the proceedings. The memory stung, a mixture of frustration and longing that I couldn't shake off. Why had he been so adamant about keeping me away? Was it truly because he thought I wouldn't be interested, or was there something more to it? The que

Everything seemed to be shifting, like sand slipping beneath my feet, leaving me unsteady and unsure of what came next.Axel was being extremely nice, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor. His words were laced with kindness, and his smile seemed genuine, but I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to his sudden change than met the eye.It wasn't as if he was the same person who looked at me with rage in his eyes just a few days ago. The memory of that intense glare still lingered, making his current niceness feel like a carefully crafted facade, one that could shatter at any moment.I was certain of what I saw in his eyes - a depth of emotion that seemed almost raw, a flicker of something intense and unspoken that left me wondering what lay beneath his tough exterior, and whether I'd ever get to see the real him.It was warmth, it was soft and kind - a gentle contrast to t
