INICIAR SESIÓNMax stood outside the private chamber for a moment, his expression grim as two guards carried the dead maid inside.He had personally ordered that no one else be allowed near the body until the autopsy was completed.The maid’s death had been disturbing enough, but what bothered Max most was how little sense the entire situation made.The body had supposedly been attacked by rogues, yet something about it felt wrong.It was too convenient, too perfectly timed nd Max had learned a long time ago that when something felt too convenient inside the royal estate, it usually meant someone was hiding something.“Make sure no one enters this room without my permission,” Max instructed the guards.“Yes, Beta.”“And what about the medical practitioner?” Max asked.“He should arrive shortly” the guard answered.Max nodded.“Good.”He turned away from the chamber, his jaw tightening. He had another matter to handle and its name was Jack.Max had been suspicious of him from the moment the maid disa
Becca sat quietly beside the window, but her mind was nowhere near the beautiful evening outside.She kept thinking about Tyler, his confession, the way he had looked at her when she asked him whether he had feelings for her. And, most importantly, the way she had struggled to answer when he asked if she felt anything for him.She couldn’t get the look of disappointment in his eyes when he had come to the healer’s chambers not too long ago to try and protect him because he was worried but she didn’t let him stay.A part of her didn’t regret that decision, especially considering her title and the fact that she wouldn’t allow her pride be tarnished by words from Eugene partaining to Becca cheating on him.But another part felt horrible for making Tyler feel bad when all he wanted to do was help.Becca closed her eyes."Why can't I stop thinking about this?" She wondered out loud and she hated that she didn't have an answer.She was Eugene's mate, she had just given birth to his child an
The mansion had been unusually restless that evening. Voices echoed through the corridors, guards hurried from one side of the estate to another, and servants whispered among themselves whenever they thought no one was listening. The atmosphere was so different from the quiet routine everyone had grown accustomed to that Kaelyn couldn't help but notice.She sat near the window of her room with her baby resting safely in her arms while Ava carefully adjusted the blanket around him.Seraphina stood near the doorway, listening to the commotion outside."What is going on?" Kaelyn asked, glancing toward the hallway.Ava looked up."I've been hearing the same thing” she said.Seraphina frowned."Something must have happened."Another burst of voices came from downstairs and Kaelyn immediately became uneasy."Can someone find out what is happening?" She asked."I'll ask," Ava said.Before she could move, a guard appeared at the open doorway."My ladies."Seraphina immediately turned toward
The dungeon was unusually quiet.Desmond sat against the cold stone wall of his cell, his expression unreadable as he stared toward the flickering torch outside his bars. The faint smell of damp earth and iron filled the air, while the distant sounds of guards moving through the corridors occasionally broke the silence.He had been waiting for news, waiting to see whether Jack had managed to handle the situation and most importantly, waiting to find out whether his plan was beginning to work.Footsteps suddenly echoed through the dungeon and Desmond lifted his head as a guard appeared at the end of the corridor.The moment Desmond recognized him, his expression changed slightly.The man was one of the few guards who still secretly worked for him.The guard approached quickly and lowered his voice."Alpha."Desmond leaned forward."What happened?" He asked.The guard glanced behind him before speaking."The missing maid has been found” he said.Desmond froze. For a moment, he simply st
Dangerous SuspicionsGreta stood a few steps away from the others, but her eyes remained fixed on Mira.She didn't like this, not one bit.From the moment Mira had become involved in the situation, Greta had felt as though everything had become far more dangerous than it needed to be.And now, standing in the middle of the forest with guards scattered around them, she couldn't understand why Jack was still allowing Mira to get so close to everything."You're making a mistake," Greta muttered.Jack turned toward her."What are you talking about?" He asked."You know exactly what I'm talking about” she replied then glanced toward Mira. "Her."Jack's expression tightened."Greta...""She's becoming too involved” she added.Mira, who had been standing nearby, immediately heard her."Excuse me?"Greta turned toward her."You heard me” she said.Mira's eyes narrowed and Jack immediately stepped between them."Both of you, stop” he ordered.Greta ignored him."She knows too much, Jack” she s
Eugene stood at the edge of the forest, staring at the lifeless body of the maid. The discovery had left an uncomfortable silence hanging over everyone.Even though the guards had already explained what they believed had happened, Eugene wasn't satisfied.He crouched slightly, studying the ground around the body. There were marks in the dirt, broken branches and scattered leaves.Everything seemed to suggest that there had been a struggle and yet, something about it bothered him.It was like he had a nagging feeling constantly telling him there was more to this than meets the eyes."You're certain you didn't see anyone?" Eugene asked.The guard standing before him immediately shook his head."No, Alpha, I didn’t" he answered."Not even from a distance?" "No” he answered.Eugene straightened."Then explain something to me."The guard swallowed."Yes, Alpha?""How did a rogue get inside my estate?" Eugene asked.The guard's expression became uncertain."We... we don't know” he answered
The throne room of Blackwood Mansion felt colder than any dungeon.Becca could feel it in her bones as she stood in the center of the vast hall, her back straight despite the ache running through her body after the slap from Desmond.Mira stood beside her now, her shoulders tense, jaw clenched, her
Eugene pulled his cloak tighter around himself as he and Max stared at the woman standing in front of them, her position frozen mid-motion.He had no idea who she was but judging from the look she gave max and the one he returned back, there was something he was not being told and that alone wasn't
Morning light spilled gently into the large garden, filtering through veils of white silk and moving up to flowers that wrapped themselves lovingly around marble columns. Dew still clung to the beautiful petals of moonlilies, their soft glow reduced now by the rising sun, although they still looke
The woods were unnaturally still when Eugene finally reached the new safe house.The moon hung low and pale between tree branches, its light spilling softly across the narrow path Sax had described to him. It was a path so carefully hidden that even trained eyes would miss it unless they already k
