MasukMira 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
Mira couldn't take her eyes off the body and for several seconds, she simply stood there as her mind refused to process what she was seeing.Mira took a step closer to the body."She needs a healer" she said.Greta immediately grabbed her arm."No."Mira looked down at Greta's hand."Let go of me."Greta released her then she stared at her."She needs help" Mira said.Greta's expression hardened."She's dead" she pointed out.Mira froze."What?"The words seemed to echo around the room and Mira slowly shook her head."We need to call the healers" she said."They can't help her" Greta replied. "Then we need to report this' Mira said.Greta's eyes widened."Don't report anything" she warned.Mira stared at her in disbelief."Greta, there's a dead woman in this room and someone needs to know" she said.Greta shook her head. "No one needs to know."Mira's expression hardened."Are you listening to yourself?"Greta stepped closer."You don't understand" she said.Mira looked back at Gret
The sound of claws scraping against marble, the echo of growls, and the heavy, rhythmic thuds of battle filled the hallway. Eugene watched as Max tried hua best to stand against the snarling, hulking beast that had already brought Desmond to his knees. Becca and Mira stood a distance away, tensio
The air inside the Vargus pack infirmary was heavy with the scent of crushed herbs and the soft, rhythmic hum of lanternflies flickering outside the high arched windows. The stone walls, smooth and warm from the afternoon sun, seemed to breathe with the silence that enveloped the room. Only the o
The hallway trembled with the echoes of power and the aftermath of violence. Marble pillars bore fresh signs of destruction, and blood painted patterns across the floor. Yet, in the eye of this storm, a different battle was beginning.Seraphina let out a sigh, her eyes narrowing, her lips curling
The stone corridors of the Blackwood mansion echoed with murmurs and scattered laughter as the doors were opened once again to call the guests back in. The hunt had begun in the forest beyond, but within the estate walls, the energy remained electric. The grand hall buzzed with guests who had dec
