Chapter 105"You will," he said firmly, even though he always wanted me to give up.His constant efforts to break me were wearing me down, leaving me weak despite my best efforts to appear powerful in his company.As the sound of Elodie's approaching footsteps aroused Xavier, I remained in the cell with Vera. She was casting spells that rendered Felix and Marina asleep and concealed their activities from curious eyes."I think we can discuss now in peace," said Elodie, turning to face Xavier on her right, who was slightly to her left."I am right here on your left side," said Xavier to Elodie, when she was too far away to notice his direction. "How are you doing, Hina?" Or should I call you Vera?" mocked Elodie."I'm better than you, at least I don't swallow the innocent's soul," answered Vera defiantly.Soul? The word grabbed my interest, and I noticed Xavier staring at me quietly. Though he tried to hide it, his eyes were filled with despair and anxiety. However, I could see the exp

Chapter 1 My face pressed against the damp, muddy earth, my fingers plunging deep into the mire, I found myself in a desperate situation. The monster who had my leg in his grip possessed strength far above my desire to flee. Despite my sadness, a spark of resolve burned within me, prompting me to resist. I managed to flip onto my back by twisting my body with all my power, taking advantage of the chance to toss handfuls of muck at his face, temporarily disorienting him.The stakes were enormous, and my life was on the line. There was little chance of survival, and I didn't have time to catch my breath or seek relief. I was racing against the unrelenting passage of time, straining my weary legs to carry me along the perilous path in quest of a haven.I propelled myself forward, pushing through the murky waters, and navigating the hazardous terrain covered with the wreckage of the rainstorm. Though my body screamed in pain, I continued, seeking safety behind the shade of a gigantic tre
Chapter 2 As I returned to the mansion with Adam and Edward, the pack's home where the rest of our kind lived, I encountered a hostile environment.Ruth Lane, the silver-haired woman with a heart as cold as ice, grasped my neck in a vicious hold, her desire to kill me. Ruth had always had feelings for Levine, but her desire to spend the night with him had gone unfulfilled since he had never given her the opportunity. In her view, I was nothing more than a threat."I will end you," Ruth screamed, her rage boiling over."Show some restraint, at least until the truth is revealed," said Adam, moving quickly to keep her at bay."There's nothing left to uncover when everyone already knows the truth," said Ruth, her tone mocking.Ruth was not alone in her hatred. Other pack members glared at me with venom, their gazes like scorching arrows searing my heart. I could only avert my gaze, avoiding any type of eye contact with the gathered crowd. As the crowd gathered, Adam stepped forward, putti
Chapter 3 I made my way towards the designated area where the accused stood, guided by the Omegas, and entered the courtroom filled with the entire pack. The air was thick with suspense and judgment, and the tension was apparent.The judge's seat was taken by Xavier Ronan, the Alpha of the Oak Pack, who was dressed in a deep brown cloak. Despite his youth, he radiated authority and leadership. Aside from him, another judge named Leia Gamora piqued my interest. She appeared to be around thirty years old, with her blond short hair, golden brown brows, and pale skin.I was unprepared to face my husband, the guy who professed love for me, seated as the judge presiding over the trial that would determine my destiny under the Oak Pack's statutes.Xavier arrived, his cloak wrapped over my cold figure. It protected me from the pack's probing eyes, which could see through the tiny gown that barely covered me. Many were surprised and upset by his actions because they had expected him to treat m
Chapter 4 I lay on the chilly floor of the poorly lighted dungeon, encircled by my thoughts and the weight of a broken heart. The pack members' heated protests pierced the air as their voices rebounded through the walls. To keep my sanity, I concentrated on filtering out the angry voices, instead of delving into the depths of my psyche.I did not know how the other day had arrived so quickly; I felt someone's presence in my half-sleep; if that person wanted to harm me, he would have done it sooner; why did the person take a risk to come by?A soft creaking sound entered my ears, jolting my frozen body awake. I struggled to catch a glimpse of the stranger before he vanished into the darkness, my vision fuzzy.My attention was drawn to the door for a brief moment, and my interest peaked. I rose slowly, ignoring the throbbing anguish in my damaged body. My actions were led by determination as I approached the door with caution, opening it slowly and deliberately, aware of the creaking so
Chapter 5 Back in time seven months.Reality morphed into genuine dreams in the blink of an eye, a concoction of anxieties and elation swirling within me. It was undoubtedly real, but it felt like a dream—a dream full of amazing beauty.Have you ever felt the enthralling ecstasy of love? It's an indescribable emotion, a profound connection that sweeps you off your feet and envelops you in a cocoon of care and devotion. And there I stood, on the verge of a life-changing event, preparing to go on a journey with the man who had stolen my heart—Logan Jareth.He was more than a boyfriend; he was my soulmate, the one who adored me flaws and all. The level of his affection left me wondering what made me so special in his eyes. The anticipation was mixed with joy and a tinge of dread as I prepared to present myself to him, dazzling in a bridal gown.I walked down the aisle with a bouquet of lovely blossoms, an immaculate white maxi dress, and an exquisite long veil cascading around me, touchi
Chapter 6Logan, who was about to take his last breath, was still looking over me with teary eyes. This was a traumatic experience for both of us.We were just celebrating the best moment of our lives a few minutes ago; who would have predicted that things would go so wrong? Our hopes and dreams were crushed.Xavier moved in closer to kiss me. How could I let strangers kiss me so soon after the meeting? My eyes were welling up with tears.When their gazes were fixed on us, they were all waiting for the kiss. I held my breath as Xavier leaned in closer, looking into my eyes for a brief moment.His scent was unfamiliar to me, and he was too close to my lips. I clutched my hand, wanting to beat him, but any wrong move would result in Logan's death.Xavier leaned in closer to my ear and said, "Our kiss is due." before leaning back."Get the car ready; the bride wants to leave," said Xavier to Edward."Sure," said Edward politely, motioning for another member to leave.They all left while L
