ANMELDENEugene reacted just in time.The moment the attacker lunged at him, he twisted his body and grabbed the man's wrist, preventing the knife from plunging directly into his chest. However, the blade still grazed his side, leaving a sharp cut against his skin."Eugene!"Max's voice rang through the stables.Eugene gritted his teeth, struggling to push the attacker away. The man fought desperately, attempting to drive the knife into him again, but Eugene caught his other arm and forced him backward.Before Eugene could overpower him completely, Max rushed forward. With one swift movement, he grabbed the attacker from behind and twisted his neck.A sickening crack echoed through the stables then the man's body went limp and collapsed to the ground."Max!" Eugene snapped.Max immediately released the dead man and turned toward him."Alpha Eugene, are you hurt?" He asked as he looked around at Eugene for any sign of a large stab wound."I'm fine” Eugene answered, his breathing slightly labore
Tyler grabbed Becca's hand and pulled her away from the crowd before anyone could recognize him and start another commotion."Come with me," he said firmly.Becca didn't argue. She was still shaken by what had happened, and the last thing she wanted was to be surrounded by those people again. Tyler led her through a narrow street between two buildings, occasionally looking over his shoulder to ensure nobody was following them.The crowd was still shouting behind them, with several people calling out Becca's title and demanding that she return."Don't look back," Tyler instructed.He quickened his pace until they reached a quieter part of the town. There was a small abandoned storage building beside a row of shops, and Tyler led her behind it, where they could remain out of sight.They waited for a few moments. When the noise finally became distant, Tyler released her hand and turned toward her."Are you all right?" He asked.Becca adjusted the robe covering her head and nodded."Yes.
Eugene marched furiously through the mansion's hallway, his guards following closely behind him. His patience was running dangerously thin.It had been several minutes since he ordered his men to find Becca and bring her back, yet none of them had returned with any useful information. Every passing moment only made his anger worse.He didn’t know if he should shout at their incompetence or just keep focused on finding Becca."Have you found her?" he demanded, turning toward the guard walking behind him.The man immediately bowed his head."No, Alpha King . We have searched the eastern wing and the gardens, but there is no sign of Luna Queen Becca” he said."What about the servants? Has anyone seen her leaving the mansion?" Eugene asked."We are still questioning them, Alpha king."Eugene stopped walking and glared at him."Still questioning them? What exactly is taking so long?" He demanded.The guard lowered his gaze, unable to offer an answer then Eugene clenched his fists. He could
Becca pulled the robe tighter around her body as she made her way through the streets of the pack town.She had managed to leave the mansion without being caught by Eugene's guards, but she knew her freedom wouldn't last long if anyone recognized her. Eugene would undoubtedly send more guards to search for her, and the last thing she needed was to be dragged back to the mansion before she could speak with Tyler.The robe she wore had been stolen from a clothesline behind one of the servants' quarters. She had felt guilty taking someone else's clothing without permission, but she hadn't had the luxury of finding another way to disguise herself.Besides, she intended to return it. She just needed to speak with Tyler first.Becca pulled the hood farther over her face and continued walking, keeping her head lowered whenever people passed her. The pack town was busier than she had expected, with merchants calling out their prices, children running between stalls, and wolves gathering in
Seraphina hurried down the narrow staircase leading to the dungeon, her mind consumed by the shocking discovery she had made in Kaelyn's chambers.The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.Kaelyn had crossed a line she could never forgive. After everything Seraphina had done to keep her secret, after all the risks she had taken to ensure no one discovered the truth about Mira's fall, Kaelyn had decided to repay her by arranging her death.She would make her regret it.The dungeon guards stepped aside when Seraphina approached, allowing her to enter the section where Desmond was being held. She barely acknowledged them before making her way toward his cell.Desmond was seated on the edge of his bed, looking entirely unbothered by his imprisonment. When he heard the approaching footsteps, he lifted his head and smiled faintly."Seraphina. You look as though someone has ruined your day” he pointed out."Someone has done considerably worse than that” she replied.His smile di
Becca quickened her pace as she moved through the mansion's corridors, determined not to let Eugene's anger change her mind.She had barely made it past the staircase when she heard his voice echoing from somewhere behind her."Find Luna Queen Becca and bring her back to me. Immediately!"Becca's steps faltered. He had actually sent guards after her.She knew this entire situation was hard for him, but she needed him to understand just how important this conversation between herself and Tyler is.Eugene was just focused on the negative aspects, which Becca felt were extremely stupid, considering the fact that she had told Tyler to leave in the first place.She closed her eyes briefly, trying to suppress her frustration. She should have known Eugene wouldn't accept her decision without a fight. His possessiveness had always been a problem, but lately, it seemed to be getting worse.She wasn't a prisoner, and she refused to be treated like one.Turning a corner, she continued toward the
Ash clung to Alpha Eugene’s shoes as if the ruins themselves were trying to keep him rooted there.He stood at the center of the devastation, unmoving, his broad shoulders tense beneath his torn cloak.Behind him, Max stood a few paces away, his arms folded tightly across his chest. His jaw was cl
Eugene stood over the table, his hands braced flat against the wood, his shoulders rigid beneath his coat. His eyes moved slowly, deliberately, committing every detail on the map to memory even though he already knew them by heart. He had walked these plans in his mind so many times they haunted h
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
The air smelled of dry herbs, a comforting scent that usually made Becca feel grounded, but tonight, the air felt tight, almost suffocating. Three strangers sat at the wooden table, Robin, Sax, and Dorian, each carrying the kind of presence that made the small room feel even smaller.Becca steadie
