Steven's POV"Steven, it's time. The pack has arrived," Liam announced, his voice a mix of urgency and excitement, peeking into my room."I'll come," I responded, attempting to conceal the mix of anticipation and anxiety swirling in my stomach.He nodded and departed, the door clicking closed behind him. I stood in front of the mirror, staring at the Oakwood Moon mark on my shoulder, feeling a mix of pride and pressure. This mark was not just a symbol; it was a reminder of my responsibilities, of who I was meant to be."It's time," I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper, as I took a deep breath to steady myself before leaving my room.As I stepped outside, the sight of the Oakwood Moon pack gathered below the mansion struck me like a wave of energy. The air was thick with their eager chatter, the excitement palpable. "Pay your respects to the Alpha of the Oakwood Moon pack!" Liam yelled, and they all bowed, a show of loyalty that warmed my heart. It felt good to know they looked

Steven's POV"Bunch of manipulative beings," I scoffed, shaking my head as I walked away from the gathering. The words felt heavy on my tongue, fueled by frustration and a sense of betrayal."Take me to the captured human," I instructed Liam, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside me. The grand mansion felt oppressive as I stepped inside, the air thick with secrets and shadows.He led me down a narrow corridor to a dimly lit room where the human was held captive. He was awake now, his eyes wide with confusion and defiance."What is your name?" I asked, trying to maintain a semblance of authority."Williams," he replied, his voice surprisingly calm."Do you realize where you are?""I don't know, but I do know you'll kill me eventually. So just do me a favor and get on with it." His resignation struck me like a blow, and I felt a surge of surprise."You don't seem afraid of dying, Williams," I said, kneeling beside him, my curiosity piqued."Before your men captured me, I was going

Ashley's POV"What's up, sweetie? Why are you here so early, and why do your eyes look like you’ve cried a river?" Mabel asked as I walked into her office at the hospital. The moment I saw her, I broke down into tears."Sweetie," she hugged me tightly, concern etched on her face. "What happened? It’s supposed to be a happy day for you—your first day at your new job. Why the tears?""I... I got fired on my first day!" I sobbed, unable to contain my despair."Oh my God!" Mabel gasped, her grip tightening around me. "What did you do? They can’t fire you for no reason at all!""We... we were in Steven's office for introductions, and when... when he was leaving, he stopped by my side and winced in pain, so I... I just touched his hand and asked if he was okay.""And then?" Mabel prompted, her eyes wide with disbelief."And then he fired me!" I cried again, the tears spilling down my cheeks."That darn CEO! How can he just dismiss you because you touched him? That’s insane!" Mabel yelled, h

Steven's POV“Marry me, Ashley Green,” I declared, watching as her expression turned from confusion to disbelief.“Marry you?” she stammered, clearly taken aback. “Umm... Are you okay, Mr. Steven? Are you sure you’re at the right place? Something must be wrong because this can’t be happening.”“The wedding will be held in four days,” I continued, my voice steady.“Wait a minute. Why do you think I’ll marry you?” “Because I’m telling you to,” I insisted, the conviction in my voice unwavering. “I made you a promise fifteen years ago. I promised to marry you.”“What? The first time I met you, you fired me for no reason at all! So when exactly did you make this supposed promise?” I could see the wheels turning in her head, the memories struggling to resurface. “I guess you don’t remember me,” I replied, my tone softening. “That kid and I are almost like two different people now. I’ve changed a lot.” “Can you please tell me what’s going on? I’m in the dark here.” Her eyes searched mine,

Ashley's POVI broke into uncontrollable laughter, and Steven’s intense stare only seemed to fuel my amusement. His cold eyes bore into mine, making my giggles grow louder."I’m… I’m sorry," I gasped between bursts of laughter. "It’s just… it’s just so funny to think of you magically healing my mom and then forcing me to marry you in three days."The moment I said the words, his face darkened. A low, rumbling growl echoed from deep within him, and the sound sent a chill down my spine. My laughter instantly died, replaced by a deep, uneasy silence. I slowly looked up at him, and what I saw made my blood run cold.In an instant, Steven’s form shifted before my very eyes. His body rippled, muscles growing and shifting unnaturally. His face twisted as his teeth elongated, and soon, a terrifying beast stood before me—a hairy, towering figure with glowing, predatory eyes and fangs that seemed to gleam like daggers under the dim light. "Ahhh!" I screamed, stumbling backward in a panic, my b
