021| SOMEONE IS LOOKING FOR HER

~VAELOR~Her face turned pale as I said that. I wasn’t bluffing this time, there was no way I was letting her slip through my fingers again.I mind-linked West, while still standing before her.None of us said a word. We both stood there, staring at each other.It took everything in me not to let my eyes wander off to her lips, the same lips that had kissed me back with such intensity, only to end up saying it was a mistake.A knock came on the door, signaling that they had arrived.“Come in.” I said, finally stepping away from Vixen, who still seemed rooted to the spot.West entered then, followed by two maids.“Have them take back the box.” I told West, before adding firmly. “She is not allowed to leave. Anyone who lets her leave would be punished.”The maids shuddered and bowed.Vixen gasped behind me, stepping closer. “Vaelor, you won’t dare.”But I didn’t look at her, only signaled at them to take the box from her.Vixen rushed forward to stop the maids, but I easily grabbed her

022| THE LETTER

~VAELOR~I tore the letter open, unfolding it. But the Moment I read what was written on it, all hell broke loose.Alpha Vaelor,This is to notify you that a member of my pack was illegally taken from my pack. Whether this action was intentional or not remains to be known.I, Alpha Kael, the Alpha of Pure Moon pack demand the safe return of Vixen Puremoon, the rightful Luna of Pure moon pack.We know she is currently being held in your pack. If you refuse to return her, we would go on to enforce the law in this regard. I clenched my fists, crumpling the letter too.Who does he think he is? And what right does he have to challenge my authority?Pure Moon pack doesn’t measure up to Blackthorn pack in any way, and he was nothing but an ant I can easily squash.Holding tightly onto the letter, I shredded it into pieces, wishing so badly I was shredding the damned Alpha instead.How dare he call her by his surname and even call her his Luna?I threw the shredded letter into the fire, bare

023| WHEN GUILT VISITS

~VIXEN~“Eat dinner with me, then you can leave if you wish.”His words echoed in my head. I stopped, and turned to look at him.His eyes were clear, showing he was serious… but how could I trust his words again?“Please leave, I don’t have time for your jokes anymore.” I told him instead.Surely there was no way he would let me go; he made that clear earlier.Vaelor stepped closer, reaching out gently as though to stroke my face, but then, he suddenly stopped short, his hands dropping back to his sides.“I understand you are angry with me, but you can’t go hungry. I can leave if you want… but just eat something.”The sincerity in his voice made my chest tighten, but I kept my face straight.“Are you really going to let me leave?”He swallowed.When he didn’t answer, I scoffed. “Yeah… so much for trust.”I turned to walk away, but he grabbed my hand suddenly, stopping me.“I will let you leave,” he said, his voice low. “Just eat.”I stared into his eyes, wondering if he meant it this

024| NIGHT ESCAPE

~VIXEN~I waited till the whole mansion fell silent, making sure that no one was around before I came out of my room.I wanted to sneak out unnoticed.But when I neared the door, I heard the cars drive into the mansion.My heart jumped.Vaelor was back. That fast?I turned around, running back to my room.Without thinking, I removed my shoes, changed into casual clothes and fell on the bed.I could hear his footstep nearing my door.Why was he coming here?Does he know I want to escape?I jumped to the bed and quickly covered myself up, while pretending to be asleep.Just then, I heard him knock. I shut my eyes, listening to him knock.At first, I thought he was going to leave when I didn’t answer, but then, the door knob turned.I held my breath.He entered the room then. Even though I couldn’t see him, I could feel him lingering at the doorway.I focused on breathing, trying my best to make it seem natural.But he didn’t leave. Instead, he began walking closer to me.Every step he t

025| CONTROL VS FREEDOM

~VAELOR~I knew something was off, from the moment I stepped into her room.It was clear she wasn’t asleep, from how irregular her breathing was.But I didn’t think much of it… I thought maybe she was shy, but even that thought only excited me, because apparently, she still wanted to see me.That was a plus. Right?But I never expected she was going to run again, not after the hearty discussion we had earlier, with me thinking I made the point clear enough.I stared at her, watching her go white from shock.She turned to look at me, each movement slow and scared.“Vaelor.” She called out almost in a whisper, as though she was trying to convince herself that I wasn’t the one.“Where do you think you are going?” I asked again, unable to keep back the anger in my voice.I couldn’t help but feel betrayed. I could still feel the painful thug of my heart.“I… I wanted to go for a walk.” She said, letting out a little nervous laugh.She was lying.Why did that hurt more than any words she co

026| THE PRICE OF STAYING

~VAELOR~She didn’t respond, even though I wished desperately that she would say something, anything to give me even the slightest flicker of hope.But her lips remained sealed.I laughed at myself for even hoping in the slightest. I looked at her closely, only then did I notice that her lips were trembling.I stepped forward again, gently gathering her into my arms. I stroked her hair gently, enjoying how the soft texture of it felt against my hand.“Vie… I don’t know what you heard, but it is all wrong.”“I didn’t hear anything.” She said immediately.I smiled. She didn’t know she just admitted it to me.“I know this is going to be a dangerous mission both for me and the pack…” I started carefully, watching her reaction.She looked up then, confirming my exact thoughts.She was indeed concerned for me. For a moment, I felt my heart swell up with excitement.I barely resisted the urge to lean forward and kiss her, but instead I held her cheeks between my palms, staring closely at her

027| COUNCIL INTEREST

~VAELOR~A messenger of the Alpha Council is here, that only meant that he had already reported this case.I clenched my fists, wishing I could punch the damned Alpha’s face until he bled.I turned to West, keeping my expression as calm as possible.“Bring them in.” I told West, who bowed and left to fetch the man.I turned to Riven. “Make sure Vixen doesn’t find out about this meeting.”Riven bowed in response.Just then, the door opened and West entered, followed by a man in a long black robe, signifying his position in the council.He stood straight, the council seal displayed proudly on his cloth. His expression was neutral even as he bowed, but his eyes remained sharp and observant.He was clearly trouble.“Alpha Vaelor,” he greeted with a slight bow.“What does the council want?” I asked directly, relaxing back into my seat.West directed him to sit, but he didn’t.“I am here to deliver a formal notice from the council,” he said, pulling out a sealed document.I took it, breakin

028| DECISION TO LEAVE

~VIXEN~I knew something was wrong the moment I stepped into the hallway.The mansion felt… tense.Not loud. Not chaotic.But heavy.Like the air itself was waiting for something bad to happen.Two maids who were usually cheerful stopped talking the moment they saw me. One of them forced a smile. The other lowered her head quickly and walked away.I slowed my steps.Why were they acting like that?As I turned the corner, I heard whispers coming from the servants’ quarters.I didn’t mean to listen.But then I heard his name.“…the Council is already involved.”My heart stopped.I moved closer without thinking, my footsteps silent against the floor.“If they send investigators, they’ll search the entire territory,” one maid said nervously.“And if they find her?” another whispered.“They’ll accuse the Alpha of violating territorial law. He could lose his position.”Lose his position.Because of me.My hand tightened against the wall as the words sank in.“The Luna is furious,” the first

029| THE EMPTY ROOM

~VAELOR~I let West see Mom out before returning to the pack house. But the moment I stepped into the pack house, something felt wrong.I couldn’t really tell what it was, but I noticed just how silent the pack house was.The silence pressed heavily against my skin, unlike how it usually felt.My wolf stirred uneasily inside me.I didn’t need proof that something was terribly wrong.I forced the uneasy feeling down and walked down the corridor toward my room.When I left earlier to meet with the Council’s messenger, she was still asleep on my bed, a beautiful memory that would be forever etched in my mind.But when I stepped into my room, she wasn’t there. My heart tightened so badly as a devastating feeling washed through me.“She must be in her room,” I whispered to myself, trying to remain calm.I rushed to her room.During my time dealing with the council messenger’s follow-up report, a strange tension had sat in my chest the entire time.I told myself it was because of the counc

030| RUNNING OUT OF TIME

~VIXEN~I didn’t stop running until my legs began to shake.The forest stretched endlessly around me, branches clawing at my arms, roots catching at my feet, the cold morning air burning in my lungs. Each breath felt sharp. Each step heavier than the last.But I didn’t slow down.I couldn’t.If I stopped, I would think.And if I thought, I might turn back.The thought of him finding my empty room flashed in my mind.The letter on the table.The silence.The anger that would harden his eyes.My chest tightened painfully.“I’m sorry,” I whispered to the empty forest.But leaving was the only choice.The Council was already watching him.Kael had filed the complaint.If they searched the territory and found me there, Vaelor wouldn’t just be questioned.He could lose everything.His title.His authority.His pack’s trust.All because of me.I slowed to a walk as the trees thickened, my body finally protesting the hours of movement without rest.My feet hurt.My throat was dry.And the str
