Was what she did a stupid decision? Yes, it was. But have you ever been desperate before? You do a lot of crazy things when you are desperate, so I don’t blame her. But does me understanding her completely erase the fact that she has to suffer for trying to stab me? Yeah, no. I’ve never in my life been more tired of a chapter than I am of this phase of my life. I have been through so much shit, and to be frank, the person writing my story needs to wrap this up. It’s getting annoying. “Enough, Zara.” Ronan stepped in front of Zara and grabbed the knife. And no, he was not doing it from the sheer goodness of his heart. That motherfucker doesn’t think of anyone’s interest but his own. If Zara does end up hurting me, it’s going to go against the code of the council, which has a no-hurting-the-Luna rule, which will end up placing his kingdom in a tight spot. Even he doesn’t want that. “Control yourself.” Zara looked at her brother for help, and I’m sure deep down a part of

Penelope was halfway down the corridor when she nearly collided with someone turning the corner. Strong hands caught her shoulders before she could stumble. The familiar scent hit first it smelt like home Alex. “Whoa be careful my Luna “ “Sorry” she blushed The apology came out distracted. Her heart was still hammering against her ribs. Lara’s words kept replaying inside her head. It’s the same tattoo on that Zara’s body. The same tattoo. The same tattoo. The same tattoo. She grabbed Alex’s arm before he could say anything else. “It’s Zara.” The words left her immediately.. Just that. “It’s Zara. Lara remembered the tattoo. She saw it that night. Alex, it’s her.” She waited for surprise. For atleast some confusion. For questions Instead, Alex simply stared at her. Calm. Far too calm. Penelope narrowed her eyes. “…You know.” A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “I know, baby.” Her breath caught. “You do?” “Mm.” Her

“If I said I didn’t dream of this moment, I would be lying. I mean, for such a lousy, disgusting pest, you sure do have privileges that protect you.” I looked at Davis tied to the chair, his face swollen from all the beating Liam had given him earlier. The council chamber beneath the castle had been repurposed for moments like this—thick stone walls, silence, and no witnesses. I had told Liam not to go too far, but restraint was never his strength when betrayal was involved. I removed the cloth gag from Davis’s mouth. He gagged and vomited onto the floor, coughing violently. The disgust flowing through my veins only brewed higher. “You—how dare you reduce me to this?” he shouted hoarsely. “You did this! This is a conspiracy. You faked that video, and all those hussies in the council just followed you. Get me out of here. I’m innocent—” I reached for the drilling gun resting on the metal table. “You know,” I said calmly, “I’m really curious how deep this can go. How deep the

The suspicion flowing through me was worse than ever. This time I wasn’t just suspicious — a part of me knew it. Me and Cherry knew it. But the fact that we don’t have any evidence, and a clove scent isn’t exactly an evidence fit enough to arrest someone… I sighed. “If you sigh one more time, your highness, I would like to think you find my presence boring,” Lara said, raising a brow like she was genuinely offended. “It’s not ‘your highness,’ Lara. I’m not a queen.” “But you live in a castle, don’t you?” she chuckled, light and teasing. I rolled my eyes and chuckled too, but my chest still felt heavy. The tension had been sitting there all morning, like a knot tightening and tightening. The room felt too quiet, the air too still. Even Cherry was pacing inside my head. “Tell me what’s wrong, your highness. A problem shared is half solved.” I sighed. What’s the use of hiding it anymore? She had been nothing but kind — and honestly, the secret was eating through me. So I

Do you know that feeling when you know something big is coming? That was what I felt as I sat down on Alex thighs in the council meeting. Today was the day. Alex didn’t tell me what was happening today but guessing by the look of everyone here, we got some evidence to take Davis down. The tension in the room was so thick it could choke someone. Well this will be fun. I finally get to see Davis get destroyed. Call me petty but the few period I took charge of the pack work the dude got on every last bit of my nerve. I could feel Zara gaze piercing through my skull and that made me smile. Go ahead and cry bitch you can’t do shit, and how dare you try to seduce my man in his office. I’ll deal with you after this. “What was the cause for this emergency meeting alpha Alex?” “Has something happened again?” “Good morning councilmen and sorry for this emergency meeting but it was needed. After all, to purge a virus you must first identify it,” Alex said. I saw some of the confused face

“How long is this going to take?” I stared down at the scruffy-looking guy sitting in front of the computer. The room smelled like dust and old wires, and his chair creaked every time he shifted. Apparently, he was the guy we needed to take down a scruffy weasel like Davis. Honestly, looking at him now, you wouldn’t think someone like him could pull off anything impressive—but desperate times call for desperate solutions and right now if I could find another word apart from desperate to describe what I’m feeling that would be it “I’m trying my best here. The person that did this legit wiped all traces possible ,well atleast this just increased my curiosity “ His fingers moved across the keyboard with surprising speed, screens flashing in front of him like he was dancing with the damn computer. “So there is nothing you can do about it?” “I can, I just need time.” I exhaled sharply. Time was something we barely had. Every second wasted was another second Davis stayed ahead

I stood in front of her door like a fucking idiot.No guards. No witnesses. Just me and the soft scent of vanilla and cocoa butter that leaked from the crack beneath the wood. Her scent. Penelope. Sweet and sinful, soft and haunting—the only scent that ever made my wolf purr and snarl at the same t

The war table was a mess of unfinished reports and half-drunk coffee cups, each one a testament to how far behind we were falling. Rogue sightings along the northeastern border, patrol inconsistencies, and now whispers of unrest from within the council itself. It never ended.I pinched the bridge o

It’s been two days since Cherry said a word. Two days since my little run-in with Xaden. I was still stuck working here in the soldier’s quarters, and honestly, I don’t think that’s changing anytime soon.Xaden and I? We’ve got this weird… companionship. I clean his weapons personally. He keeps oth

The silence in my office was suffocating.The kind that crawled under your skin, clawing at your ribs until your chest felt too tight to breathe.I sat behind the massive oak desk, pretending to read over border reports, rogue activity breakdowns, and council petitions—but my mind wouldn’t stop rep
