After everything that had happened recently, it wouldn't have surprised her in the slightest.Mira rubbed her temple."Moon Goddess help those two" she muttered. She began walking down the hallway, her footsteps echoed softly against the polished stone floor.As she walked, her thoughts drifted toward Becca. She hoped her friend would remain calm, she hoped Eugene would remain calm and most importantly she hoped neither of them would say something they couldn't take back.Because despite everything, Mira could still see the love between them.A voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts."Watch where you're going, you oaf."Mira blinked. The rude tone immediately caught her attention.She turned and found herself staring directly at Greta, the former head mai
Becca sat comfortably near the window, wrapped in a light shawl while absently running her fingers along the edge of a book she wasn't actually reading.Her thoughts kept drifting elsewhere. Life had become far more complicated than she ever imagined.A knock sounded at the door but before she could answer, the door opened and Mira stepped inside. The moment she entered, she paused, her eyes narrowed suspiciously.Becca immediately noticed."What?"Mira blinked."What happened?"Becca frowned."What are you talking about?" She asked. Mira slowly approached."You look... normal" she replied. Becca stared at her then laughed.The tension in the room immediately eased and Mira felt herself relax slightly.She sat beside Becca."How are you feeling?" She asked.Becca looked down at her stomach then smiled softly."Better" she replied. Mira reached over and squeezed Becca's hand."I'm glad."Becca smiled."Thank you."Becca looked toward the window. The bright sunlight seemed almost com
The morning had barely settled over Blackwood Mansion before Alpha Eugene found himself buried beneath work.The large desk inside his chambers was covered with reports. He sat behind the desk with one hand pressed against his temple.His eyes burned from lack of sleep. He couldn't even remember when he had last enjoyed a full night's rest.Too much had happened recently but suddenly he shook his head."I'm working" he reminded himself. The last thing he needed was another distraction. He grabbed another report, only for a knock to sound on the door."Come in" he said without looking up.The door opened then a familiar voice followed."I had a feeling I'd find you buried under paperwork."Eugene immediately recognized the speaker and a faint smile appeared despite himself."Head Councilor Hadrian" he greeted.The older wolf entered. Despite his age, there was still a commanding presence about him.Hadrian glanced around the room then laughed."Eugene, what is all this?" He asked as h
Morning arrived quietly over Blackwood Mansion. Golden sunlight spilled across the massive estate, chasing away the darkness that had seemed determined to cling to every corner of the pack for the past several days.Becca slowly opened her eyes. For several moments she simply lay there staring at the ceiling. The events of the previous days weighed heavily on her.Everything felt tangled together in a giant knot that she couldn't seem to undo.She slowly sat up. A slight ache remained in her body from the attack, but it was much better than before.Carefully pushing aside her blanket, Becca stood. Walking slowly, she approached the large window overlooking part of the courtyard.The cool morning air drifted through the partially opened glass. It felt refreshing against her skin.For a few moments she simply enjoyed the view then movement below caught her attention.Her eyes narrowed slightly to a familiar figure who was crossing the courtyard.It was Tyler.Becca immediately straighte
Kaelyn stared angrily at Jack, ready to reply him when a guard came up to him then he walked away so she she stood frozen in the middle of the hallway long after Jack's footsteps had disappeared.Her entire body trembled from anger and hurt.Her fingers curled into fists.How dare he speak to her like that?She was the mother of Eugene's child, the mother of the future heir, yet lately it seemed everyone in Blackwood Mansion had forgotten that.Mira looked at her with suspicion, Becca looked at her with anger, Max barely tolerated her and now Jack had openly insulted her.Kaelyn blinked rapidly, fighting back tears."No, this is their fault" she muttered. She shook her head, her voice was barely above a whisper.Immediately her thoughts went toward the same people they always seemed to.Becca and Mira were the lead ib the conspiracy theories she formed in her head.Who else could it be?Who else would poison people against her? Certainly not Eugene.He had never spoken to her this wa
The garden had become a crime scene. The dead rogue leader remained sprawled where the guards had dropped him and a few feet away lay the body of the unfortunate guard who had collapsed after touching the corpse.The sight was enough to make every wolf present uneasy and at the center of it all stood Desmond, his expression carefully controlled.However, inside his mind was racing.This is bad, very bad. Perhaps the worst position he had found himself in since Eugene defeated him.Eugene was looking at him suspiciously and that was bad for him.The problem was that Eugene was not stupid. He could be emotional, impulsive, stubborn but he was not stupid and if Eugene truly started suspecting him, everything would become much more difficult.The plans, the manipulations, the slow destruction of Eugene's reign all depended on his freedom to move around the mansion, influence people and act without constant supervision.If Eugene became convinced Desmond was responsible for this poison, th
Pain came back in fragments. First, it was sound of ringing, distant and warped, then the smell of smoke and broken wood followed by the ache.Becca groaned softly. Her eyelids fluttered, heavily before finally opening.The night sky swam above her, broken by flickering orange light which meant fir
The steam from the tub had begun to slowly disappear into the air and that was the first thing Becca noticed as she sat rigid on the edge of the massive bed, her back straight, her hands clenched so tightly in her lap that her nails cut into her palms. The air still smelled of soap and crushed her
Eugene stood with his hood still drawn low, his posture relaxed in a way that was anything but. Alpha power coiled tightly beneath his skin, contained only by sheer will. Max stood a step to his left, his shoulders squared while Skye leaned casually against the wall as though this weren’t a privat
The sound of the carriage leaving hit Mira heavily, each turn of the wheels pounding deeper into her chest.“No” Mira whispered.Her fingers trembled violently at her sides, nails biting into her palms as if pain might anchor her to reality.She had to do something to help her friend.Becca had hel
