ログイン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'
Mira walked beside Jack in silence. Neither of them said much as they made their way through the quiet corridors of the mansion.The events in the storage room were still fresh in Mira's mind. Every time she closed her eyes, she could see the maid lying there.And somehow, she was now expected to pretend she had never seen any of it.Mira hated it but she had promised Jack. And that promise weighed heavily on her.Jack glanced at her."You've been quiet" he said."I'm thinking" she replied. Jack nodded. He knew exactly what was on her mind. They reached the corridor leading toward Mira's room and she glanced around before lowering her voice."Do you think Desmond ordered it?" She asked.Jack tried to act natural."I don't know" he said."But Greta is loyal to him and she wouldn't just do this because she felt like it" she replied. Jack nodded."I need to speak with Greta. I need to know exactly what happened" he said.Mira's expression became worried."Be careful and don't trust he
Eugene practically ran through the corridors. The moment the maid had told him that Becca was stable, everything else had ceased to matter.He reached the healer's chambers and pushed the doors open. The atmosphere was still tense, but it was no longer filled with panic.That alone brought Eugene some relief.His eyes immediately searched the room."Where is she?" He asked. The healer gestured toward the bed."She's here."Eugene rushed toward her.Becca lay beneath the blankets, her face was pale, her breathing was slow and steady, but she was alive.Eugene stopped beside the bed and for several seconds, he simply stared at her. The tightness in his chest finally loosened.He reached out and gently touched her forehead."Becca."She didn't respond then he swallowed."She's really stable?" He asked. The healer nodded."Yes, Alpha King."Eugene let out a breath. He hadn't realized he'd been holding it."Thank the Moon Goddess" he muttered. He sat beside the bed then his fingers gent
Alpha Eugene stood by the edge of the cobblestone courtyard, his boots clicking faintly with each restless step. The morning air was cool, scented faintly with the musk of pine trees from the eastern woods beyond the pack's borders. A soft breeze tugged at his cloak, flapping it against his legs
Becca’s eyes fluttered open to the muted gray light of dawn streaming through the thin infirmary curtains. The world around her was eerily quiet except for the gentle rise and fall of Eugene’s chest. For a moment, she was disoriented, until the cool wooden arm of the infirmary chair beneath her r
The morning sun filtered softly through the glass ceiling of Councillor Hadrian’s grand greenhouse, casting warm, dappled light across the lavish spread laid on the long obsidian brunch table. Exotic plants lined every corner, their vibrant colors and heady scents creating a serene contrast to the
The body of Lila was brought back just before the sun reached its peak.Eugene sat on a wooden bench outside the room, eyes closed, fists balled in his lap. He hadn’t spoken much since Becca’s outburst in the infirmary. Now, with the weight of death and insult heavy on his chest, he found himself
