The Phantom In The Glass

My eyes popped out weakly immediately when I heard what Elana said. For a split second, a cold shiver ran down my spine, but I quickly pulled myself back together. I acted like I cared for a moment, but deep down, I never truly did. My mother was like a cat that always landed on its feet, no matter how high the fall. I scoffed while I sat up immediately, the leather of the Ferrari seat creaking under my movement.It seems Elana never knew my mother so well. She saw a woman being picked up by a stranger and thought of danger. I saw a woman being picked up by a stranger and thought of a conspiracy.“Elana, it doesn’t matter who took mother,” I said, my voice flat and drained of emotion. “Whether it’s an alpha of a different pack or someone from my own pack, it doesn’t change anything. Just know that she is a terror on her own. She doesn't get kidnapped, Elana. She negotiates.”I swung my hand through the air like a finality when it comes to mother. I wanted to wave away the very thought

Silk, Shadows, And Shattered Hearts

“Who was tailing us?” I asked myself under my breath, the words feeling like ice on my tongue.The engine of the Ferrari gave one last powerful purr before Elana killed the ignition in the L’Etoile Couture's garage. The underground space was dimly lit, the air smelling of expensive exhaust and cold concrete. We both stepped out of the car, the sound of our heels clicking sharply against the floor, echoing like distant heartbeats. My bodyguards pulled up in the SUV behind us, their doors opening and closing with heavy, synchronized thuds. They stood like stone statues at the perimeter, their eyes scanning every dark corner of the garage.“Who was that, Sophia? You look like you just saw a ghost and a murderer all at once,” Elana asked, her voice trembling slightly. She was leaning against the door of the car, her face pale under the flickering fluorescent lights.I rolled my eyes off, not wanting to seem overshadowed by fear. I couldn’t let her see how much that brief glimpse of golden

The Ghost In The Aisle

Elana laughed as she said that, her voice ringing out through the high ceilings of the L’Etoile Couture like a silver bell. But I didn't join her. I looked at her in confusion while staring at the dress like it had turned into my enemy already. The midnight blue silk, which had looked so beautiful a moment ago, now felt like a taunt. It was a costume for a woman who was looking for a replacement, and the very thought made my skin crawl.“You don’t get it, Elana,” I said, my voice barely a whisper as I stepped back from the glass display. “Why should I put on something that will make other men admire me instead of my mate? I don’t want the gaze of strangers. I don’t want the desire of ‘good men.’ I want him.”Elana stopped laughing and looked at me in total confusion, her brow furrowing. “Huh? Sophia, what are you even saying? Since when did you become so traditional? Come on, it’s still the same thing. Making other men look at you is the oldest trick in the book. It will make Lucian w

The Architect Of Regret

Raphael telling me to wait? Come on, was he sent by Lucian to taunt me more? The very idea felt like a slap in the face. I had already been humiliated in that office, standing there like a beggar while they discussed my life as if it were a business loss. I wouldn't take that from him for one bit. Not today. Not ever again.“Raphael, please, can you stay back? Or were you sent by your master to finish off what he started?” I said while turning to meet his eyes.The words were sharp, coated in the bitterness that had been brewing in my chest since the sunrise. I didn't care if I sounded harsh. I wanted him to feel the sting of my anger. That made Raphael stand still, his boots clicking once against the marble before he froze. He looked at me, his mouth slightly open, but he wasn't able to say a word. He looked like a man who had forgotten how to breathe.“Are you dumb already?” I asked, my voice rising. I was almost irritated by his calmness. It was the same calmness he had used in the

The Weight Of The Unforgiven

He left!My mind retraces when Lucian's father was killed. It was a day that smelled like wet earth and cold blood. I could still see Lucian's eyes burning red, a terrifying shade of crimson that seemed to swallow his humanity whole, when he left with those men in the black car. I remember screaming his name until my throat was raw, but Lucian never looked my way when I called him. He looked straight ahead, his heart already turning to stone.And Raphael. I remember running to his home, my lungs burning and my legs shaking, thinking that at least one person would hold me. But when I reached that door, all Raphael could do was shut it in my face. The sound of that lock clicking was the loudest sound in the world. The next time I heard anything about him, he was gone. Everyone of them left, so I could wander alone with the blame. I was a child left to carry the sins of my father while they escaped to better lives.And here is Raphael, standing in this temple of luxury, saying he would e

The Whisper Of A Thousand Eyes

“Like you cared?”I said that to cover my shame. The words felt like a shield I was holding up with trembling hands. The memory of the ceremony flashed behind my eyes like a recurring nightmare. Lucian had rejected me in public, his voice cold and loud enough for every elder and every servant to hear. He had cast me aside like a piece of rotten fruit, but I stood my ground. I had accepted the bond anyway, stubbornly proving to him and the entire pack that I was worth more than his hatred. But in doing so, I felt a sick twist in my gut. By forcing my presence where it wasn't wanted, I made myself no different from my mother. I was using the bond as a leash, just like Hannah used my father.“Sophia, you might say all you can to make my words invalid, but...” Raphael paused, his face tightening. He ran his fingers through his hair, a habit he had when he was losing his cool. “Why would you accept to be his mate? You know how he feels. You know the darkness he’s been feeding for fifteen

The Shadow Of The Hunter

Something doesn't feel right. It seems something shifted in the air, a sudden change in the atmosphere that made the fine hairs on the back of my neck stand up. The luxury boutique, with its gold trimmings and soft carpets, suddenly felt like a cage. Something within me felt awoken, a primal instinct that didn’t belong in a world of silk and perfume. My wolf was pacing in the back of my mind, her ears pinned back, growling at a threat I couldn't see yet.I pulled my phone out of my purse for the tenth time in three minutes, my fingers trembling as I tapped the screen. I dialed Elana’s number again. I needed to hear her voice. I needed her to tell me she was just complaining to a manager about a late shipment.The number you are calling is currently busy. Please try again later.The mechanical voice of the operator sounded like a death knell. Busy? Elana never kept her phone busy when she knew I was spiraling. She was the type of friend who would hang up on a millionaire just to answe

The Bitter Shadow Of Possession

I took my hands off Raphael's hand immediately. The touch that had been supportive a second ago now felt like a brand of fire against my skin. My heart was hammering against my ribs, not out of guilt, but out of a wild, frantic survival instinct. I wanted to warn Raphael to steer clear from me, to tell him that standing too close to Harvey was a good way to get burned, but seeing Lucian's face stopped the words in my throat.He looked like he was being betrayed. That expression on his face made me feel at full, a strange mixture of satisfaction and dread. For once, I wasn't the only one in pain. Maybe the two friends will fight it out this evening, I thought bitterly. I don't care. Let them tear each other apart over their pride. My only real problem was Elana. Her disappearance was still a cold knot in my stomach.Raphael kept a straight face immediately he saw Lucian. He didn't look like a subordinate being caught; he looked like a man standing his ground, even as he moved a little

The Pull Of The Forbidden Blood

Lucian’s POVWhat just happened?I stood in the center of the hall, the air still vibrating from the way Sophia had just walked out on me. I scoffed while rubbing my chin, my fingers grazing the stubble on my jaw. My skin felt hot, electrified by a mix of adrenaline and a strange, biting jealousy I didn't want to admit to. I looked around the room, giving the others who were still watching us a cold, predatory stare. It was the kind of look that promised a slow death to anyone brave enough to keep their phone cameras pointed my way. One by one, they scurried away, heads down, terrified. I hate being watched. I hate being a spectacle.Raphael sat on the plush velvet chair, looking completely unbothered. He leaned back as if we were having a casual drink at a lounge instead of a standoff in a public hall. I stared at him, my mind racing. I couldn't even pinpoint what just happened between Raphael and Sophia.Raphael was my right hand. He was the one who had sat in my office just hours

The Chill Of A Hidden Truth

“Hey, can you turn on the heater? I’m kind of freezing.”I said to the driver while I remained on the line with Elliott. Something in the air had shifted. It was more than just the sun going down or the air conditioning in the Rolls Royce being too high. It was a deep, bone deep chill that seemed to start in my marrow and spread outward. I rubbed my arms, feeling the fine hairs standing up. I knew this feeling. It was the bond. Somewhere out there, Sophia was feeling a coldness of her own, or perhaps her fear was bleeding into my system. It was an unwelcome intrusion, a reminder that I was no longer a solo entity. And that was what I avoided from the moon goddess. It could have been better if it was someone else apart from Harvey's bloodline.I checked my time while looking out through the tinted window to take a final view of Raphael’s fashion hall. The building looked like a giant jewel under the streetlights, but it felt hollow to me now. I peeked toward the entrance, half hoping
