A strange sensation, like a tingling current, surged through my body, stirring the primal instincts of my wolf. She was struggling to resist the overpowering urge to sprint back towards her mate, who was waiting for us in the distance. It took all of my willpower to hold her back, to keep us moving forward on our journey. The bond between us was strong, and I could feel every beat of her heart as if it were my own. As we continued on, the pull of our mate grew stronger, and I knew that soon, she would not be able to resist it any longer. Our fate was entwined with his.As the night wore on, I found myself increasingly uncertain about how things would turn out. My mind was awash with doubts and questions, but I kept them all to myself, knowing that my wolf was already struggling to keep up with me.Just when I thought things couldn't get any more complicated, my wolf suddenly came to a stop. I could feel her tense up, and I knew that something was wrong. For a moment, we stood there in

An intense feeling of discomfort gripped me as I attempted to turn onto my left side. Despite my efforts, something was preventing me from doing so. My body felt weighed down by an invisible force, and each movement felt like a herculean task. The frustration of being unable to do something as simple as turning over intensified my discomfort, and I felt a wave of helplessness wash over me. Despite my attempts to shake off the feeling, the hindrance persisted, and I was left feeling trapped and immobile.As I lay there, time seemed to stand still, but suddenly, an unsettling realization swept over me. My right arm was completely unresponsive, as if it were detached from my body. Though I could still feel it, every attempt to move it proved futile, and panic began to set in. Then what could have caused this sudden paralysis?As my consciousness slowly returns to me, I become aware of the world around me. I find myself lying in bed, with my eyes shut and my mind in a state of half-sleep.

DARUIS POV:I couldn't help but wonder why she had lied to me. Why did she say that her wolf had no scent? why she hid that she was my mate. My mind raced, trying to figure out what she could possibly gain from deceiving me like this.Every single thing that had happened from the very beginning was a complete and utter lie. The enormity of the deception should have sent me into a rage, but for some inexplicable reason, I found myself incapable of summoning the fury that should have been there.I knew that I should be furious with her for what she had done, but instead, I found myself feeling oddly protective of her.As she took off running, my initial intention was to discipline her sternly for her disobedience. I was determined to make her understand that such reckless behaviour would not be tolerated. However, things were not the same now. She is my mate now.As I stood there, staring at the moon in the midnight sky, my mind couldn't help but wander to her - my mate, my Luna. The me

And since he knew the truth now, and there was no escaping the consequences of my actions. Sooner or later, he would turn on me, and I would be nothing more than a pawn in his game. I could already see the betrayal in his eyes, the cold, calculating gaze that made me feel like nothing more than a means to an end. He would trade me to Fenrir without a second thought, just to get his hands on the information he needed about the Tanzanite stone like he wanted to do from the start.I knew what he wanted, what he expected of me, but I couldn't bring myself to comply. I couldn't go back to Fenrir place and be his pet, not after everything that he did to me. Death seemed like a far better option."Why don't you just kill me already? Take your revenge for lying to you all this time, and I won't blame you for anything," I said firmly, my voice shaking slightly. I braced myself for the worst, expecting him to lash out at me, to make good on his threats. But to my surprise, he simply stood ther

The clock struck twelve, shrouding the surroundings in a cloak of silence as most of the servants had wrapped up for the day. It was the perfect opportunity to sneak into the kitchen undetected. With the absence of any personnel in the vicinity, there was little to no obstacle in reaching the desired destination.As I opened the door to the kitchen, the bright fluorescent lights flickered to life, illuminating the rows of gleaming stainless steel appliances and neatly arranged cabinets.The silence was broken only by the hum of the refrigerator as I rummaged through its contents for the one thing that could quench my thirst - a bottle of water. My hand closed around the plastic container, the coolness of its surface sending a shiver down my spine. Unscrewing the cap, I popped a pill into my mouth and chased it down with a gulp of water. The liquid flowed down my parched throat, its iciness sending waves of relief through my body, as if I had just stumbled upon an oasis in the middle o
