INICIAR SESIÓNThe morning sunlight had barely reached the windows of Alpha King Eugene's study when he sat behind his enormous wooden desk, staring at absolutely nothing.A book lay open before him but he hadn't read a single word. A cup of tea sat untouched beside his elbow and it had gone cold.Eugene didn't care, his mind was somewhere else, back in the dungeon, back with Desmond as his mind kept on replaying the words he hadn't been able to get out of his head since he heard them. "I have proof that Jack is responsible for the death of a maid."Eugene's jaw tightened. He hated the memory of those words.Desmond had always been a manipulator, a man who could turn a harmless conversation into a trap.Eugene knew his half-brother too well. If Desmond wanted him to believe something, there was usually another reason behind it.And yet, something about the accusation refused to leave his mind.Eugene leaned back in his chair."Jack."He said the name quietly.It didn't make sense. Jack was not the
Morning arrived quietly at the mansion.Soft golden sunlight slipped through the curtains of the healer's chambers, painting thin lines of light across the floor.For several seconds after opening her eyes, Becca simply stared at the ceiling. She didn't know where she was, her body felt strangely heavy, her head felt light and her muscles ached as though she had spent the entire night fighting a battle.Then she remembered the labor, the pain and the cries of her baby.Becca slowly swallowed."Where's my baby?" She asked, her voice was weak.The healer, who had been arranging bottles of herbs on a nearby table, immediately turned around."You're awake."Becca blinked."Where is my baby?" She asked again. The healer smiled."Your son is perfectly fine."Relief washed over Becca's face then she closed her eyes for a moment."Thank the Moon Goddess" she said.The healer walked toward her bed."How are you feeling?" She asked."Lightheaded" Becca answered. "That's expected. You lost a d
The dungeon was colder than usual.The stone walls seemed to absorb whatever warmth entered the place, leaving the corridors dark, damp, and suffocating.The guards stationed outside the main chamber immediately straightened when they saw Alpha King Eugene approaching.Eugene didn't acknowledge them, his expression was hard and his steps echoed through the corridor.He was very irritated. He had been in the middle of dealing with Tyler when Desmond had asked for him and Eugene hated that, especially by a prisoner.When he reached the cell, he stopped. Desmond was sitting calmly on the stone bench inside.bHe looked almost comfortable.Eugene's eyes narrowed."What do you want?"Desmond looked up then a slow smile appeared on his face."Is it bad I asked to see you?" He asked. Eugene stepped closer to the bars."You will never do that again" he warned. Desmond raised an eyebrow."Good afternoon to you too" he said."I'm serious. You don't summon me like some servant" Eugene cautioned
Mira could feel the tension in the room becoming unbearable.Alpha King Eugene stood near the door, his expression cold and unreadable, while Tyler remained opposite him with the same stubborn determination that had been irritating Eugene from the moment he arrived.She couldn't blame Eugene entirely.Tyler had just stood in front of him and confessed that he was in love with his Luna. There was nothing normal about that situation and Tyler didn't even seem particularly ashamed of it.Mira stepped between them."Okay. That's enough" she said then looked at Tyler first. "Tyler, I think you should leave. You need to calm down."Tyler sighed."Mira, I'm not afraid of him."Eugene's eyes narrowed."You should be."Eugene took a step forward and Mira immediately moved between them. He stopped but his eyes remained fixed on Tyler."He's deliberately provoking me."Tyler gave a small smile."I'm not trying to provoke you" he replied. Mira sighed."Tyler, please."He looked at her then shook
The storage room was silent. Jack stood near the far wall, staring at the empty space where the maid's body had been only minutes earlier.Everything had been cleaned, the ropes were gone, the blood had been wiped away, the vial had disappeared, even the traces that might have raised questions had been carefully removed.Jack stared at the floor."Where did Desmond even get a poison like that?"Greta didn't answer then Jack continued thinking aloud."If it killed her that quickly, what would happen to Alpha King Eugene?"Greta's eyes narrowed."Alpha Desmond said it would make his wolf lose control but he didn't say it would kill him immediately" she answered. Jack's expression darkened."Exactly, that's what worries me" he said.Greta folded her arms."Why?""Because if Alpha King Eugene survives long enough to realize something is wrong, he'll investigate eventually find the person responsible" he replied. Greta's face tightened."You mean us."Jack looked at her."Yes."For a mom
Mira forced herself to breathe normally. Alpha King Eugene stood near the door, his presence immediately changing the atmosphere in her room.Tyler was still standing several feet away, his shoulders tense. Neither man looked willing to make the first move.Mira decided that if she didn't say something soon, the silence would become unbearable.She forced a small smile."Alpha King, what are you doing here?" Mira asked carefully. "Is there any news about Becca?"Eugene's eyes shifted toward her then his expression softened slightly."Yes."Mira's heart jumped."Is she—?""She's stable. She's no longer in immediate danger" he said.Mira released a breath she hadn't realized she was holding then a smile immediately spread across her face."Thank the Moon Goddess. That's wonderful" she said as she clasped her hands together.She turned toward the door."I want to see her."Eugene nodded."You can" he urged.Mira paused. She had expected resistance so she looked at him suspiciously."You'
The low hum of the morning wind swept through the corridors of the Blackwood estate, carrying the scent of dew-soaked earth and the faint tang of blood. Eugene winced as he swung his legs over the side of the infirmary bed. His arm pulsed with a dull, stubborn pain that radiated from the angry da
The late evening breeze moved through the slightly open window of Alpha Eugene’s bedroom, stirring the curtains to be dancing in the air. The deepening dusk bled a soft amber light into the room, casting long shadows across the floor and the walls. Eugene stood by the carved oak armoire, his stro
Becca moved swiftly between the wounded wolves, her hands steady and precise as she applied her skills.Outwardly, she was composed and efficient. The perfect Luna healer.But Inside there was a storm in her heart.Every word Eugene had spoken earlier still echoed in her chest.She ground her teet
Luna Seraphina’s eyes snapped open, fury flashing in their emerald depths as the echoes in the mansion grew louder. She sat up, her hair falling in perfect waves over her shoulders despite having been asleep moments ago.“What in the name of the Goddess is this racket?” she hissed, her voice low a
