The Choice

"You don't know the whole story, Ella," Damien said, his voice dropping to a low, quiet murmur. He stared down at his desk, his long fingers tracing the edge of the mahogany wood.Ella shifted her weight on the edge of the desk, the heavy green wool of her cloak rustling against the stack of crisp paper beside her. "Then tell me. Why hide it from everyone? Why hide it from me?""Because it is not a happy royal tale," Damien replied, letting out a short, bitter chuckle that lacked any real humor. He finally looked up, his dark eyes catching the amber glow of the desk lamp. "My mother met Maxwell, Ronan’s father long before he ever became the Alpha of the Voss Pack. They were young. They loved each other. But the pack elders had already arranged a political marriage for him with Ronan’s mother to secure their borders.""And she didn't know?" Ella asked softly, leaning in slightly. The room was so quiet that the faint scent of coffee beans and old leather seemed to grow stronger between

The Invite

"You went to see the Alpha?" Ella asked, a little smile touching her lips as she closed the distance between them.Jax leaned his shoulder against the cool stone pillar, watching her approach. She didn’t look like she was on duty anymore. The standard dark warrior tunic was gone. Instead, she wore a casual blue denim jacket over a plain white shirt and dark jeans. Her hair was tied back loosely."I mean, why else would I be coming out of his quarters?" he joked, offering a small shrug."How'd the proposal go?" she asked, leaning in slightly. "Was it accepted?""Ooh, that..." Jax paused, rubbing the back of his neck. The hallway grew quiet for a second, save for the distant sound of wind blowing through the open windows at the end of the corridor. "I have to go back. Damien wants Ronan to come down here himself."He tried his best to keep his voice flat, trying not to sound disappointed. But Ella caught it anyway. Her smile dropped."Bummer," she said, looking down at the polished floo

The Threat

"Oh, hi, Jax. You are finally back," Isolde said, a bright smile on her face as she stepped out from a doorway.Jax stopped in the middle of the hallway. He was holding a small, faded black backpack by its top handle. He had left it in his car earlier because he didn't want to carry it up to his private meeting on Ronan’s balcony, but he had just gone back down to the garage to grab it. It was the only bag he had taken down south to Lockwood, it was just a simple, portable backpack with a few changes of clothes.He was almost to his room when Isolde blocked his path. The smile on her face felt completely wrong, and it instantly put him on edge. He never felt comfortable around her. Even though he was always polite and respectful because she was his Luna, she always made him feel like he had to watch his back. He honestly wondered how Serena could stand being so close to her."Luna," Jax said, giving her a quick nod."So, how did Lockwood go?" she asked.Jax kept his face completely bl

Pack Territory

Liora's POV "Isn't that Ella?" I leaned forward, squinting through the passenger window.The afternoon sun was blinding, hitting the empty road at a sharp angle. We were driving down a quiet, two-lane highway surrounded by overgrown fields. Not many cars came this way. A woman was standing by the road, waving her arms to flag down anyone passing by.As we rolled closer, the heat waves baking off the tarmac blurred her figure, but the sharp, confident posture was unmistakable. It was Ella. She was standing next to a small, midnight-blue car with its bonnet propped wide open. A thick, steady plume of white steam was flowing out into the dry air."Who's Ella?" Elias asked. He took his foot off the accelerator, gently bringing our car to a halt a few yards behind her packed vehicle."You don't remember?" I muttered, watching her face light up through the windscreen as she recognized us. "The girl who saved our ass when Lena and I went to that local market the first time we got to this ci

Lockwood

Liora's POV "Isn't that the biggest pack in the South?" I asked, setting my fork down against the ceramic plate. My voice sounded a bit too tight, even to my own ears. "I didn't know you were from the Lockwood Pack, Ella.""That's because we haven't had that discussion before, right?" Ella replied. She popped a fry into her mouth, chewing casually."True," Lena agreed. She dipped another fry into the garlic dip, completely unbothered by the name.To them, it was just a name. But growing up in Voss, I had heard the stories. Whispered stories told around kitchen tables about how strict and untouchable the Lockwood territory had become over the years. According to the old rumors, they weren't always that cold. The sudden change had everything to do with Alpha Martins, the Alpha of Shadow Pack. Though I didn't ever get the full story."So, Liora, what do you say?" Elias asked, breaking my train of thoughts.I looked up and found him staring at me with big, hopeful eyes. Ever since my vis

Dinner Time

Liora's POV "So these are your famous friends who run the restaurant you talked about?" Alpha Damien asked. We were in this personal chamber.He leaned back in his big chair. His gray eyes locked right onto us. The room smelled like old books and pine wood."Yes, this is Liora, Kira, and Elias," Ella said. She pointed to each of us with a bright smile."Thanks for having us, Alpha Damien," I said, stepping forward.As I spoke, I stared at his face for a second. There was something about the shape of his jaw. The way he held his head looked just like Ronan. My stomach twisted up. I stared at him, trying to see if I was wrong. The feeling faded when he shifted his weight. I quickly brushed the thought away. I told myself I was just being paranoid. It had been a long time since I stood close to a true Alpha wolf. In the human world, wolves were rare. Their energy was always weak, maybe that was what was affecting me."Wolves who run a fine restaurant in the human world. Quite fascinatin

Out in the Garden

Liora's POV "Ahem. Cough, cough."I cleared my throat quickly, the sound loud in the small room. I felt the heat rising to my face as I looked around at everyone. Their eyes were all fixed on me, waiting."Sorry," I managed to say, forcing a weak smile. "I just spaced out there for a second.""Are you sure you're good? You seemed pretty lost for a moment," Ella asked. Her forehead was creased with worry, and she had set her fork down."Honestly, I'm fine," I assured her. I looked over at Kira and Elias, trying to keep my voice steady. "I'm really okay, guys." I let out a small, fake chuckle, doing my best to clear the awkward air that had formed within seconds.Nobody spoke for a moment. The silence felt heavy, and I could feel Damien’s eyes burning into the side of my face. He stared at me for a long time, his expression unreadable, before he finally spoke."She said she's fine. Don't bother the lady," Damien said. His deep voice ended the questioning instantly.Ella looked down at

The Warning Letter

Liora's POV."I was the adopted child while growing up," I said, my voice barely louder than the rustle of the leaves around us. I stared down at the gravel beneath my shoes. "It used to be just me and my parents, until my younger sister came along. I remember being over the moon to finally have a younger sister. I thought we would be best friends. We were at some point actually then,"Damien didn't interrupt. He just stood there, his tall frame casting a shadow in the moonlight, listening."But things changed fast," I continued, feeling a familiar tightness in my chest. "Blames started to always shift to me. Compliments went to only her. If something broke, I did it. If she cried, I made her. Of course, I was always the one at fault. It was really not very pleasant, so..."I looked up, biting the corner of my lips to stop myself from saying anything more. The memory of Serena sitting on that kitchen island chair, smirking while her mother cooked, felt entirely too close."So you got

Bloodline?

"Alpha, this was left for you by the girl who came with Ella yesterday," Lily said. She stepped into the large office and held out a small piece of folded white paper. "She said it was very important pack business."Damien did not look up from his computer screen right away. He finished typing a sentence before he reached out and took the note from her."Did she say anything else?" Damien asked. His deep voice filled the quiet room."No, Alpha. Just that it had to go straight to you," Lily replied, stepping back toward the door. "They left right after that. They said they had to get back to their restaurant.""Alright. You may leave, Lily," Damien said, waving his hand."Yes, Alpha." She bowed her head quickly and left the room, closing the heavy wooden door with a soft click.Damien stared at the paper for a moment. He unfolded it slowly, smoothing the white sheet against his dark wooden desk. The handwriting was neat but hurried. He began to read the lines, and his gray eyes narrowe

Hidden Truths

Few weeks ago Isolde pulled her dark woolen shawl tighter around her shoulders, the thick fabric rough against her skin. She stepped out into the stone walkway, intending to finish a few quick errands before it got dark.But just as she was about to cross the walkway towards the Greenhouse, she heard a voice. It was Jax.She froze and immediately stepped back, hiding herself behind the thick stone corner of the palace wall. She pressed her back flat against the cold surface and held her breath to listen, her senses entirely on alert as the cool wind rustled her hair."This last search still led to a dead end, sire," a tired voice said. It belonged to one of the pack warriors. He sounded exhausted, his boots shifting in the dirt. "We checked the lower human villages just outside the border, but there was still no trace of her.""Alright. You can go," Jax dismissed him. His voice was completely flat."Yes, Beta."The warrior’s heavy footsteps faded down the opposite hallway. Isolde let
