Sylvia has created a halo that transported the two of us inside a room that I did not recognize before.From the moment I stepped into the dimly lit room, a chill ran down my spine. The air was thick, and heavy with a scent I couldn't place—something ancient and foreboding. I blinked, my eyes adjusting to the dim light, and that's when I saw it.The room was cluttered with shelves upon shelves of glass bottles, each containing swirling mists of colors that seemed to defy nature."What is this?" I whispered to myself.Jars filled with unidentifiable objects, some pulsating as if they were alive, lined the walls. Dried herbs hung from the ceiling, casting eerie shadows that danced across the stone floor.I couldn't believe it; this was my home, yet I had never seen this room before. It felt like I had been drawn into a nightmare.In the center of the room stood a cauldron, bubbling with a potion that emitted a luminescent glow, casting an otherworldly light over the figure standing befo

"T-Thank you, Hazel!" I whispered, groaning in pain while we were running towards the heart of the forest. "Just stay calm. We can get out of here, Nat..." she whispered.The forest around us was alive with the sounds of the night, but above it all, I could hear the ominous crack of gunfire slicing through the air.My heart raced, thumping violently against my ribcage, as if it too was desperate to escape the horror we found ourselves in.Hazel and I were running for our lives, our breaths coming out in sharp, ragged gasps that mingled with the cold night air.Hazel had my arm draped over her shoulder, providing the support I desperately needed to keep moving.Each step was a battle, a fight against the pain that wracked my body with every movement. But Hazel’s unwavering strength was a beacon of hope in the overwhelming darkness."We can't stop, Nathalie," Hazel gasped, her voice a mix of determination and fear. "We have to keep moving, no matter what.""I know," I replied through

The first day in a new place always carries an air of uncertainty, a mix of fear and excitement for what lies ahead.I was acutely aware of my status as a newcomer, an omega, at the bottom of the hierarchy. I was introduced to this new pack by Killian, an omega who had been with the pack for some years. He was kind enough to guide me through the sprawling compound of the pack areas designated for the various ranks within our community.Our first stop was the place I would come to know all too well—the cleaning area."This is where we're assigned, day in, day out," Killian explained, gesturing towards the grimy surroundings.It was evident that the omegas bore the brunt of the pack's disdain, tasked with maintaining cleanliness in a place that seemed perpetually covered in filth.Am I going to clean this place every day?I couldn't hide my disappointment, the reality clashing with the dreams I harbored."I wanted to be a gamma," I confessed to Killian as we moved away from the cleanin

"Lycan Prince Steven seems to always go back here even if we clean the whole room. Does he want it to be sparkling clean? Ugh! Such a damn hassle!" Lady Sabrina said in frustration as the omega cleaners gathered around for a meeting. I didn't speak and let them converse. Killian was just beside me. After the incident yesterday, he kept on asking if I was alright or not.Of course, I told him that I am okay.Even though he wanted to punch the gamma chief, Brandon, he couldn't. "That fucking bastard! He should know his place! This was never been the first sexual harassment case he had ever done, and he did not learn!"It was comforting yet overwhelming.The conversation shifted suddenly, drawing me back to the present."It's alright if Lycan Steven comes here very often! I could get a glimpse of his handsome face!"The topic had turned to Lycan Steven, and the room was abuzz with excitement and admiration.Someone giggles and agrees. "Yes, you are right! I haven't seen him in ages whe

"I'm sorry but I'm not going to the party," I told Lady Sabrina and the rest of the omegas talking about the masquerade party that Lycan Steven had invited them to.It has been three days since Lycan Steven visited our pack. They were excited to plan for the masquerade party."What? You should be there!" Lady Sabrina insisted and sighed."Wait, are you perhaps thinking about what to wear? Don't worry! We will help you get a dress!""No, I'm not really into parties. I'm so sorry, Lady Sabrina."I smiled at her. The omegas huddled around me, their expressions a mixture of disappointment and determination."But Nathalie, you can't miss this! It's the event of the year," Elara, one of the omegas, exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement."Yeah, think about the beautiful dresses, the masks, the dancing!" another chimed in, trying to entice me with the glamour of the event.Lady Sabrina stepped forward, her gaze soft yet persuasive. "Nathalie, we understand parties aren't your thing, b
