Midnight Fire Necklace

Alexei's POV I was at a company event. It was incredibly loud, and honestly, I missed Novel. I planned to go see her the moment this was over. I’ve always hated these functions. Viktor sat close to me, taking notes as various old men took turns at the podium.“Seriously, is this how they organize an event? If I’d known, I would have refused the invite,” I muttered to Viktor.“Your father was the one who accepted,” he reminded me.“I don't know what’s so special about this. I hate these things,” I said, turning away.“You’ll find it interesting soon enough,” Viktor whispered.“Really?”He nodded. “There is an auction today,” he replied with a smirk.I didn't know why he found it so amusing, but since there was an auction, I figured I could at least find something for Novel and my mother. Finally, after what felt like years, the bidding started. Nothing caught my attention until a red diamond necklace was brought out. I could immediately imagine it resting against Novel’s skin. It wasn

The Book Of Outer Land

Novel's POVAfter returning home, the book seemed to pulse on my desk, demanding to be opened. Earlier, I’d told that woman I had a boyfriend, but the truth stung, Alexei hadn’t even asked me out yet. How pathetic of me.“The Book of Outer Land,” I whispered, sliding on my reading glasses. As I opened the cover, a cloud of ancient dust drifted upward, smelling of cedar and forgotten places.“Ouch, cough! Seriously?” I sputtered, waving the dust away. My eyes landed on the dedication page. ‘Dedicated to my Mate, Juliana.’ I traced the letters with a small smile. Love was truly a powerful thing. I turned the page, and the tone of the book shifted instantly: This book is written for all, Human and Werewolf. My name is Alexander Volkov.I tilted my head, the shadows of the room deepening. “Wait a minute...” I murmured to the silence. “Volkov? Isn’t that Alexei’s surname?” I shrugged it off; people can have the same surname. I had seen a lot of Harts who were

What Are You?

Alexei's POV I could hardly sleep last night. The thought of Novel leaving me haunted my every waking moment. I had to tell her what I was before it was too late; I wanted her by my side forever.I was lost in thought when Viktor entered, a small velvet box in his hands.“The necklace from the auction,” he said, handing it to me.I opened the box, and there it rested. The deep red stone seemed to glow with a life of its own. I smiled, imagining it against the pale skin of her neck.“Thank you,” I told Viktor. He nodded and turned to leave. I wanted to ask him which lucky woman he had bought that bracelet for, but I didn't want to be nosy. I called Novel the second he closed the door.“Hello?” she answered with a long yawn.“Are you just waking up?” I asked.“Yes,” she replied, her voice hoarse and heavy with sleep.It was noon, and she was only just opening her eyes. My mate was truly something else.“I’ve got something for you. I’m coming over,” I said.“Really?”“Yes.”The drive to

The Blood and The War

Novel's POV I didn't sleep early; I was too consumed by the terminology of wolves. My mind raced as I memorized the hierarchy:The Alpha: The Ruler of the Pack.The Beta: Second in command.The Gamma: Elite, rare warriors.The Omega: The majority of the pack.The Luna: The Alpha’s Mate.The Anchor: A Human Mate.The Mate Bond: The supernatural pull between souls.Shift: Transforming into wolf form.Mind-link: Telepathic communication.“Wow, all this for a werewolf,” I whispered. I took a deep breath as I reached the final page. A map was tucked there, titled The Map of the Red Moon Pack. A smirk played on my lips as I traced the territories.“Time to go on an adventure,” I laughed softly. As I closed the book, my eyelids finally grew heavy, and I drifted off.The shrill ringing of my phone woke me.“Hello?” I managed a yawn.“Are you just waking up?” Alexei asked.“Yes,” I replied hoarsely. I checked the time: 12:00 noon. At least I had finished the book.“I’ve got something for you.

Not An Ordinary Necklace

Alexei's POV I sat on a stool, my heart heavy as I waited for her to wake up. After what felt like hours, she finally jolted awake, gasping as if she had just escaped the grip of death. My relief was short-lived.“Blood,” I whispered, my voice cracking.Thick, dark blood began to pour from her nose. I roared for the doctor, but before they could even burst through the door, she had fainted again. I was shoved out into the hallway. I paced back and forth, my claws itching to come out. Why was this happening today? I had planned to tell her the truth, to show her what I am. But with the full moon only eleven days away, my wolf was restless, and my mate was dying in a room I wasn't allowed to enter.After what felt like an eternity, the doctor emerged.“We can’t find anything physically wrong with her,” he said with a dismissive shrug. “The bleeding is likely due to stress.”I narrowed my eyes. Stress? I knew better, but I simply thanked him and went back inside. She lay there, pale and

Adventure

Novel's POV It's been two days since I recovered, strangely the pendant was always on my neck,not that I care.Today I had to return this book to the Library, I got dressed and hurriedly took a cab, even when Alexei offered a driver to me, After a long drive, I arrived at the Library, I paid the driver, then I entered the Library, Luckily the Librarian of that day was here, “Hi” she said excited,“Hi” I said awkwardly, as I remembered how, crazy I looked the first day we met,“Did you like the book?” She asked,“Yes, but a page was torn out” I looked around as I whispered to her, she came closer so a to hear me,“It's a page about A prophecy” “Aah, seriously” she gasped,I nodded yes feel like a boss, “It also has a map” I whispered to her again, “Really,” she asked“Yes, and I plan on going on an adventure” I confessed,“Are you going alone” she asked, “Yes, I don't have anybody to go with” I told her,“Why don't you go with your boyfriend” I laughed awkwardly,“Well we aren't

Anger

Alexei's POV I had been so invested in uncovering the secret of the necklace that I’d lost track of time. With only eight days until the full moon, the clock was ticking. I had to tell her what I am.I paced back and forth in my room, my mind racing. I had tried to tell her last time, but she had fainted before I could get the words out. Now that she was back at college, everything was more complicated. If I told her now, she would need time to process it, assuming she didn't reject me on the spot. If tell her late and she took four days to think, I’d be out of time. I couldn't bear the thought of being with Ava all because of Duty.My thoughts were interrupted by my phone. It was Emilia.“Yes?” I answered sharply.“I think someone is stalking the Luna,” Emilia said, her voice tight with worry. “I tried persuading her to let me stay, but she refused.”“What did you just say?” My blood began to boil. “And you just... left her?”“I’m watching from a distance, but she seems okay, ”“

Help

Novel's POVIt had been four days since I recovered and two since my adventure with the librarian. Today marked the start of a new school year. I couldn't believe I was already in my penultimate year. After everything that had happened with the necklace, I had to move back into my apartment to get ready for classes.I was walking through the hallway toward Mr. Maxwell’s class when a voice stopped me.“Hey!”I turned and saw Emilia. I couldn't help but smile. “Hey.”We walked quietly toward our wing of the building. My class started before hers, so we shared a quick wave goodbye before parting ways.The lecture was agonizingly boring. Mr. Maxwell didn't say a word the entire time; he just handed out a list of questions for us to answer. By the time I left, I felt completely drained. I headed to the campus coffee shop, desperate for some caffeine to keep me awake, but a strange sensation crept over me. I felt like I was being followed.I whipped around, but the hallway was empty.“Must

A Family

Novel's POV I don’t know what happened after the darkness took me, or how many days had slipped away. But when I finally opened my eyes, my first thought was of him. I expected him to be there, yet a part of me feared he wouldn't. After all, who would want to stay with a girl who was always broken and beaten down?Everything was a blur at first.“Novel.” I heard my name, but it wasn't his voice.As my vision cleared, I didn't know how to feel. For the first time in my life, I woke up in a hospital bed to find a room full of people. I tried to sit up, but gentle hands stopped me.“Slow down,” Maya said softly. The kindness in her voice made my eyes sting.“Are you in pain?” the Librarian asked, rushing to my bedside. I wondered how she had even found out, but the fact that she was here meant more than I could say.I couldn't stop the tears when I saw Emilia walk in, the one person I had stubbornly refused to trust. So, this was what it felt like? To have people actually care? To have

The Secret is out 1

Novel's POVI don't know why, but I have been having weird dreams since the attack. If I’m not in the middle of a fight between the Hunter and The Myths, I’m being killed by an arrow. The worst part is that even when I bolt upright in my hospital bed, gasping for air, my chest throbs as if the wood is still splintered inside my heart.I’ve been meaning to tell Alexei about it, but I don’t want him to worry. After recovering, I was shocked to find out the Librarian was actually Alexei’s mom. I’m so happy she doesn’t hate me, but I felt so shy; I had bonded with her thinking she was just a pretty older lady I wanted to look like. I still remember the shock on my face when the truth came out.I’ve been in the hospital for three days since I regained consciousness. Alexei has been looking tense lately. When I ask him what’s happening, he just smiles and says, “I’m just worried about you.”Liar. I can feel the weight of the secret he’s holding, even if I can’t put a name to it yet. Today
