MasukThe morning sun hung gently over the mansion grounds, casting a warm golden glow across the garden.Tyler had been working for most of the morning.He had spent the last few hours tending to the flowers, trimming some of the overgrown branches, pulling out weeds, and making sure everything looked as beautiful as it possibly could.It was one of the few things that gave him peace, away from the tension inside the mansion.Eventually, Tyler decided to take a short break.He leaned against the wooden handle of the gardening tool in his hand and lifted his gaze toward the flower beds.The flowers swayed gently beneath the soft breeze.Pink petals danced beside white ones, while the taller flowers bent slightly with every passing gust before returning to their original positions.Tyler watched them quietly and for a moment, everything seemed peaceful.He wished his life could feel that simple. Instead, his thoughts inevitably returned to Becca.He remembered the conversation they had share
Max kept his eyes Jack, his penetrating gaze fixed on the one man that had been the bane of his flesh for as long as he could remember.For several seconds, neither one of them said a word and who could blame them. The entire situation was not the most common, especially considering the fact that the woman both of them loved had spent the night in the one of their rooms while the other had been stuck, made to listen to her moans all night.It would’ve been absolute torture.The silence between them was suffocating. Jack stood near the center of his room, his expression hardening as he looked at Max, who had finally stepped out of the wardrobe after hiding there throughout the night.Max didn't bother explaining himself, he didn't apologize, he didn't even attempt to justify why he had been hiding inside Jack's wardrobe in the first place.What was there to say?He had heard enough, far more than he ever wanted to hear.Every sound from the previous night had burned itself into his mem
Mira hurried through the corridors of the mansion, barely paying attention to the maids and guards she passed along the way.The moment she had remembered Becca was supposed to be moving back into Alpha King Eugene’s room, guilt had settled heavily in her chest.She had promised herself she would be there.She should have been there to help Becca with her belongings, to make sure she didn't overexert herself after everything she had been through.But she had been distracted by Jack and by everything surrounding him.Mira quickened her steps as she approached Eugene's room. When she finally reached the familiar doors, she saw that they were already open.She stopped for a moment.Alpha King Eugene stood near the center of the room, fully dressed in his usual royal attire. His hair was neatly arranged, his expression serious, and several documents were tucked beneath one arm.He looked like he was preparing to leave for his study but something about the room immediately felt wrong.Mira
Kaelyn walked through the hallway with a satisfied smile on her face. She could still remember the look on Becca's face when she had opened the door that morning.The shock, the confusion, the jealousy that Becca had tried so desperately to hide. Kaelyn had seen all of it and even better, Eugene had seen it too.For the first time in a long while, Kaelyn felt as though things were finally moving in the direction she wanted.Becca might pretend that she didn't care, but Kaelyn had seen her eyes. She had seen the way Becca looked at her and Kaelyn knew jealousy could be turned into something much more powerful.She was still thinking about it when she approached the door to her room then she heard voices.Kaelyn slowed down. She stopped just outside the door."We need to move faster” Seraphina's voice was low, but Kaelyn could still hear her clearly."Move faster with what?" Ava asked."Everything. We can't keep waiting."Kaelyn's smile slowly disappeared. She leaned slightly closer to
Becca stood in the middle of the room, trying very hard to concentrate on anything except Kaelyn."Put that over there."She pointed toward the large cabinet near the window."Yes, Luna.""And the baby's things should go beside the crib. Please be careful with those."The maids moved around the room, carrying the belongings that had been brought from the healer's chambers.Her eyes briefly drifted toward the couch then toward the bed but she quickly looked away. She didn't want to think about it. She absolutely did not want to imagine what might have happened during the night.Eugene had told her nothing. In fact, he had behaved as though everything was perfectly normal.That almost made it worse.Becca glanced at him. Eugene was standing nearby, watching the maids organize everything. He looked completely calm.Becca's eyes moved toward Kaelyn who was standing near the bed and she was practically glowing. There was something about her expression that irritated Becca immediately.She
Mira slowly opened her eyes to the warmth of Jack's body beneath her.For a few seconds, she didn't move. She simply lay there with her cheek resting against his muscular chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. The room was quiet, washed in the soft morning light that slipped through the curtains.A small smile formed on her lips as last night came rushing back to her.The closeness, the kisses, the way Jack had held her like he had forgotten about every problem surrounding them for a little while.For once, there had been no Desmond, no dead maid, no secrets, no fear of being discovered.It had just been them.Mira lifted her head slightly and looked at Jack. He was still asleep.His face looked completely different when he wasn't carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. The usual tension around his brows was gone, and his lips were slightly parted as he breathed peacefully.Mira smiled again. She reached out slowly and brushed a few strands of hair away fr
Dusk descended upon the Blackwood mansion like a veil.Desmond stood by the long balcony of the his chamber, his hands clasped behind his back.Behind him, the soft rustle of fabric announced Luna Seraphina’s entrance. She moved with the grace of a Luna Queen, her red gown trailing behind her. “St
The crescent moon hung beautifully in the sky, shining down on the chaos that was about to errupt down below in the forest now that Max and Eugene had been seen by one of the tracker unit wolves.For a fraction of a second, no one moved and it was like the forest held its breath.Then the man shout
The tension pressed its weight onto the forest like a heavy, silent blanket. The trees were blackened silhouettes against a moon faintly obscured by clouds, and the wind whispered through the branches. Every rustle of leaves sounded like a footstep, every snap of a twig set nerves on edge.Eugene
When Becca pushed open the door to one of the bedrooms and stepped inside, she exhaled with relief.“Two bedrooms,” she announced after a quick look around. “Not bad for a place that looked like this.”Mira stepped in behind her, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Two bedrooms?” Eugene repe
