The alpha, with a subtle nod, motioned for two guards to escort Lisa towards him.“Yes sir!” They shouted in a perfect rhythm, obeying their alpha’s command.As they took her away, a cold shiver ran down her spine, and her fear intensified.“Going as planned but not looking so good. All I smell is trouble. What have I done to myself?” She questioned herself.Lisa's heart pounded in her chest, each beat resonating with the raw intensity of the moment. She stole a glance back at Adrien, her eyes pleading for reassurance amidst the mounting dread.Adrien stood frozen, his mind consumed by a whirlwind of emotions. Fear gripped him tightly, squeezing at his core. He felt powerless, a gnawing emptiness settling in the pit of his stomach. Every instinct in his being screamed at him to rush to Lisa's aid, to protect her from the clutches of this enigmatic alpha. But reason prevailed, his rational mind prevailing over impulsive desires.As he watched Lisa being guided towards the alpha, an ind

All the maids stood in a somber silence, their collective presence a testament to the weight of their shared burdens. Lisa's gaze swept across the sea of faces, her heart sinking with each passing moment.“How I wish we’d just get this over with already. I can’t even see Hera anywhere nearby, and now I can’t do anything but hope we’ve not made a move against the wrong people.” Lisa said, heaving a deep sigh.Hera, the reason for their daring venture into the lion's den, was nowhere to be found among the gathered maids. Doubt began to creep into Lisa's thoughts, gnawing at her confidence like a persistent beast.As realization dawned upon her, a wave of despair crashed over her. The enormity of the situation settled heavily upon her shoulders, and a torrent of self-reproach engulfed her mind.She chastised herself for plunging headlong into this dangerous gamble without confirming Hera's presence within the lion's den. Doubt clawed at her every thought, whispering taunting reminders of

An hour later, the anticipated arrival of the pack members and guards brought a renewed sense of hope and determination to Adrien's heart.“All right! Let’s get started. At ease! At ease!” Adrien shouted.They gathered in a secluded spot, where the moon's gentle glow illuminated their faces, casting an ethereal aura upon their united front.Adrien, his voice steady yet filled with urgency, recounted the events that had transpired within the house. Every detail, every emotion, was conveyed with unwavering clarity as he outlined their mission. The weight of responsibility sat heavily upon his shoulders, but he stood tall, resolute in his purpose.“Please, I beg of you all, let’s do this with every strength we got in us. It’s time for us to play our part and as you know… we never fail nor lag. Even if it costs our lives.”His beta, a voice of reason and caution, raised a pertinent question, probing the depths of Adrien's conviction. "Are you absolutely certain that Hera is within those w

Adrien stood firm, refusing the offer of a seat and any semblance of comfort within the hostile environment. The tension in the room thickened, each passing moment pregnant with anticipation and suppressed aggression. The alpha, perched upon his throne, regarded Adrien with a mixture of amusement and veiled hostility."I didn't come here to engage in idle banter," Adrien declared, his voice laced with restrained fury. "I demand to know where Hera is, and I won't rest until I have her safely by my side."The alpha's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes glinting with a sinister glimmer. "I have no knowledge of any individual by the name of Hera," he retorted, his tone dripping with calculated deception. "You must be mistaken, my dear Adrien."Adrien's patience wore thin as he reached his breaking point. The anger that simmered beneath his calm façade erupted, fueling his actions. With a swift and decisive motion, he lunged at the alpha, his fists clenched in a determined display of f

Adrien's commanding presence halted the maids in their tracks, their eyes widening with trepidation as he addressed the head of the maids. The air grew heavy with tension, each breath fraught with anticipation."I need someone to guide me to my temporary quarters for the next day or two," Adrien asserted firmly, his gaze unwavering.The head of the maids hesitated, uncertainty etched across her features. "But... but Alpha Adrien, we were instructed to leave immediately."Adrien's piercing gaze bore into her, a silent challenge resonating within his eyes. "I understand the orders, but I require someone to assist me. I trust you will comply."A palpable unease settled upon the maids, their fidgeting betraying their apprehension. The head, caught between duty and fear, weighed her options before reluctantly relenting. "Very well, Alpha Adrien. I shall accompany you and show you to your quarters."As the remaining maids began to disperse, Lisa found herself unexpectedly singled out by Adr
