LOGINAva led Becca and the two guards through the forest, trying her best to maintain a confident expression despite the growing fear in her chest.She had deliberately taken them away from the mansion, claiming that Seraphina was hiding somewhere in that direction. However, she knew perfectly well that she had no intention of leading them to Seraphina.The woman was supposed to remain hidden long enough for her to escape the mansion. Ava only hoped she had already found a way out because there was no telling how much longer she could keep Becca occupied.The farther they walked, the more uncomfortable Ava became.The forest was unusually quiet, and the trees grew thicker as they approached the far end of the forest. She had chosen this route because there was an old cave hidden among the rocks, a place few people visited unless they had a specific reason to go there.She hoped Becca wouldn't question her too much."Are you certain this is where she went?" Becca asked as they continued w
Jack walked through the dungeon corridor with a troubled expression. He had come to deliver an important report to Desmond, but his thoughts kept drifting back to the encounter he had witnessed earlier in the hallway.He couldn't stop thinking about Mira. The way she had smiled at Max, how easily she had accepted his invitation, and how quickly she had turned down Jack's suggestion had left him feeling frustrated. He knew he had no right to expect Mira to behave as though they were still together, especially when she couldn't remember their relationship. However, watching another man get close to her was becoming increasingly difficult.Jack feared that if Max continued spending time with her, Mira might eventually develop feelings for him.The thought made his stomach tighten.By the time Jack reached Desmond's cell, his expression had become noticeably tense.Desmond was sitting on his narrow bed, looking rather pleased with himself. He had been expecting Jack to return with news
Becca stood near the door, watching as the two guards searched Seraphina’s room.They had already checked beneath the bed, behind the curtains, and inside several cabinets. Nothing had been found so far, but Becca wasn't prepared to leave without making sure Seraphina wasn't hiding somewhere in the mansion.She remembered the way Seraphina had held her baby and threatened to hurt him if Becca refused to cooperate. The memory alone was enough to make her furious.She had no intention of allowing her walk around freely after what she had done."Check that corner," Becca instructed when she noticed one of the guards overlooking a small section of the room.The guard immediately followed her order, moving a few items of furniture aside.Ava watched nervously."Luna Becca, I really don't think there's any need to turn her room upside down like this," she said politely. "I've already told you that I haven't seen Seraphina since last night."Becca glanced at her."Then you shouldn't have any
Jack made his way through the hallway, heading toward the dungeon where Desmond was being held. He had an important report to deliver, and he knew Desmond would be waiting to hear what had happened during his meeting with Tyler and Vincent.The conversation had gone better than he initially expected. Vincent was clearly interested in hearing what Desmond had to offer, and he had agreed that they should consider the proposed alliance. Tyler, however, had been more difficult to convince.Jack could understand his hesitation. Tyler knew enough about Desmond's reputation to understand that working with him could be dangerous. He wasn't the sort of man who would willingly become involved in someone else's scheme without knowing what he stood to gain.Still, Jack believed it wouldn't take much to change his mind. All he needed to do was make him understand how the alliance could help him achieve his own goal of getting Becca away from Eugene.Jack was still considering how to explain thi
Ava hurried down the hallway, making her way toward Seraphina's room. She had been looking for her for some time and was beginning to wonder why she hadn't shown up in the usual places.When she finally reached the room, she knocked twice before pushing the door open. Seraphina, who had been sitting beside the window, immediately sprang to her feet."Close the door!" she whispered urgently.Ava frowned at her unusual reaction but quickly shut the door behind her."What is going on with you?" She asked.Seraphina approached her, looking visibly distressed."The guards are searching for me” she revealed.Ava's expression changed."Searching for you? Why?""Because Becca has apparently decided that I need to pay for what happened yesterday” she answered.Seraphina walked away from her and began pacing around the room."That woman is furious because I threatened her precious baby. She has sent guards throughout the mansion, asking everyone whether they've seen me. I heard them questioning
Tyler stood beside the window, staring out at the unfamiliar surroundings of Blackwood Pack. He had been trying to calm himself for several minutes, but the events of several moments ago kept replaying in his mind. The accusation was insulting enough. The attempted arrest had made it worse. Behind him, Vincent was pacing from one end of the room to the other, muttering angrily under his breath. "I still cannot believe that bastard actually tried to have me arrested," Vincent said, throwing his hands into the air. "Me! As though I would sneak around and hire some fool to stab him in the back." Tyler turned away from the window. "I know you're angry, Vincent." "Angry?" Vincent stopped and stared at him. "I'm beyond angry. If those guards hadn't been so fortunate, I would have made sure they regretted stepping into this room." Tyler sighed. He knew Vincent well enough to understand that his cousin wasn't exaggerating. He had a terrible habit of allowing his temper to make decision
The hallways of the mansion carried sound in strange ways. Even when Kaelyn walked with her head down and her steps quiet, she could hear the faint hiss of whispers that silenced the moment she passed. She could hear the rustle of skirts when maids gathered in corners, their words clipped short bu
Mira’s arms ached slightly as she balanced the silver tray of Becca’s snacks. The fragrance drifted upward, soothing and delicate, but Mira herself was anything but calm. Because behind her, Max followed like a stormcloud. “Are you going to ignore me all the way up this hall?” Max’s voice was tigh
The air was heavy with the scent of blood and burning adrenaline, the numerous mass of smells twisting together until it was hard to tell where one ended and the other began. Two dominant auras clashed in the center of the arena—Alpha Eugene and Alpha Desmond—each movement a blur of claws, teeth, a
In the heart of the pack’s sprawling estate, the excitement was thick, an invisible current pulsing through the walls. Every hallway echoed with movement—warriors preparing, elders whispering, the young ones pressed against windows to glimpse the glowing horizon. Tonight, under the rise of the fu
