Chapter 11: A new home

“This way, miss.“ two maids helped Estelle navigate towards her room. Despite their politeness, they were trembling slightly. Estelle no longer had her mask on so they all knew who she was now. Several maids let out a collective gasp when they saw her walk past, a maid even dropped a basket of folded linens before hastily picking it up. They ascended a long flight of stairs before coming across a corridor.“Your room is this way.” One of the maid said her voice low and a little shaky. She gestured down a side corridor, narrower than the main hall, lined with doors carved with wolf motifs. Several neatly arranged wall lamps illuminated the path. They stopped at a door near the end. It was made of dark wood inlaid with gold. “ Y-your room, Miss.” The maids bowed. Estelle nods to them. But this action made the poor maids flinch. They bowed curtly before scurrying away. She sighed, the way the maids behaved made her realize just how much psychological damage Silvervale had done to

Chapter 12: Turmoil

[ South of Shkrade, Silvervale.] “ What!? what do you mean by you found no body?!?!?!“ An enraged voice shook it's surroundings. “ You heard us clearly, Darius. Despite digging up the snow for hours, and even wandering near Frostveil's territory, we couldn't find Estelle's body, only the frozen corpse of other wolves discarded before were found. In the end, because of the cold we were forced to retreat.“ Tamon spoke in a slightly annoyed tone. He didn't like the way Darius shouted at him. Behind him were several other werewolves. They currently in a wide spacious yard that belonged to Darius. They would have preferred to have the meeting at hall, but because of Darius altering the pack rules to his benefit, they had no choice but to meet him here. Moreover, he was the only one who sat on a chair. Everyone else stood. “ So there was no body? nothing at all? no limbs no nothing?“ Tamon exhaled. He wanted punch Darius above the clouds but he bottled up his annoyance and answered

Chapter 13: She's my mate

Estelle groaned as she stirred awake. The warm and dim light the fireplace gave, made her want to go back to sleep. Because of the cold, she had drawn the blanket all the way to her neck and curled into a fertile position. Her hands were in between her thighs, and her head rested on the warm pillow. She didn't want to get up at all. Aside from the sound of the curtains flapping in the wind and the low crackle of the fireplace. Estelle heard nothing else. These two background noises only served to lull her to sleep more. But... she knew today wasn't a day for her to laze around. She sat up slowly, her silky black hair tantalizingly rolled down her shoulders while she did so. She slowly shifted to the edge of the large bed. The soles of her feet made contact with the cold marble floor. Estelle shuddered from the cold. A pair of slippers entered her line of sight. She immediately put them on with haste. Then she leisurely walked towards the window and stood by the ledge. Frostvei

Chapter 14: That wasn't part of the condition you set up

“She is my mate.” Silence. For several heartbeats, no one moved. No one breathed. Their brains were currently struggling to process what they had just heard. Then. *Clap* Clap* Clap* Clap* Clap* Clap* Clap* Clap* The sound of sharp clapping broke the silence. Everyone turned and stared at the one who was responsible for it. It was the curious boy who had spoken before. He had joyous expression on his face, his coat flapped dramatically as he clapped. He seemed to have no idea he was the only one clapping until he felt the stares on him intensify. The smile on his face faltered, before he sheepishly cleared his throat and folded his arms. “ A-alpha, are you sure? “ The werewolf with blowout taper stuttered. Adrian nodded. The werewolves feel into a deep thought. A woman stepped forward. Tall, broad-shouldered. She had an athletic figure and a long braid that extended all the way down to her waist. It was platinum blonde. She had a prominent jawline and a scar on

Chapter 15: Little big monster

His left hand came to rest against the wall beside her head, sealing her last path of escape. Slowly, his thumb brushed her lower lip. Not rough. Not hurried. Just deliberate enough to make her skin burn. “Don’t touch me, Adrian!” She snarled. The corner of his mouth lifted. However it wasn’t a smile. “That wasn’t part of the condition you set up, Estelle,” he whispered near her ear. The words landed like a stone in still water. Her breath hitched. Now that she thought of it, she didn't set up the most crucial condition. The condition that had no loopholes for Adrian to exploit. The no touch rule. Adrian’s thumb stayed where it was, light against her lip. His eyes didn’t leave hers. It was dark and patient, like a predator staring at it's meal. “You’re shaking.” he said with a voice tinged with mischief. That was when she realized she was trembling slightly. “I’m cold.” Estelle shot back. That was a lie. It wasn't because of the cold. It was because of someth

Chapter 16: The garden

Estelle sat alone in the huge dining hall. Each bite felt mechanical. Her eyes were slightly unfocused as if her mind was elsewhere. And it was. Despite her attempts not to think of it, what happened this morning kept appearing in her head. The memory of his fingers tenderly caressing her lips like they were the most precious things in the world. His hoarse voice... And the way he stared at her, it made her feel... *SLAP* Estelle slammed both of her hands against her cheeks, creating a loud sound startled the maids nearby. The she covered her face with her hands repeatedly shook her head as it they would help her get rid of impure thoughts, her black hair swaying as she did so. The dining hall was so large it could occupy seventy people. A large majestic table made of black oak wood ran through the length of it. It was so polished it reflected the wrought iron chandeliers above. Everything was perfectly placed. Silver laid straight, napkins folded into sharp peaks,

Chapter 17: Warmth

' Ah...' Estelle couldn't describe what she was feeling right now. For several seconds she couldn’t breathe, she couldn’t think, she couldn’t do anything except but feel. To feel the warmth. She was in a catatonic state. Her brain was going through a meltdown. And for a moment, she forgot that Adrian was the one holding her. ' So warm.' The solid wall of him against her front. The way he held her close enough to feel his rock hard body that felt like it was sculpted by the best sculptor in the entire world... She wanted more of it. Subconsciously, her fingers held his coat in a tight grip. “Do you feel warm now, Estelle?” His voice was low, right by her ear. Soft. Almost careful. “...” Estelle blinked. Once. Twice. Thrice. Her pupils dilated. Then her brain rebooted with a jolt, like a frozen system forced back online. [ Beep, beep, beep.] Heat rushed to her face. Was it from the cold? Was it from the humiliation? Was it from the fury? She didn't know.

Chapter 18: Not what her father warned her about

Estelle remembered that day. Her mother had come to her in the dead of night during a storm. With her whole body covered with injuries, her clothes torn, her eyes puffy from crying. Estelle couldn't remember what she had said, nor could she really remember her features. But she couldn't forget the way her mother had pleaded with her leave Silvervale. Because she couldn’t bear to leave her child with a man whose cruelty ran bone-deep, a man whose true nature was hidden by facade of kindness. But Estelle was deceived by Randur's false promises and his lies.So she had foolishly stayed.She still heard it sometimes: the way her mother’s breath broke on a sob, the way she knelt on the stone cold floor and begged. “Please, Estelle. Come with me, dear.” But Estelle had foolishly pushed her hands away. She remembered how hurt her mother looked. How lonely her back looked when her mother's figure slowly disappeared through the wall of rain. That was the last time she saw her.That indisti

Chapter 19: Crisis

[ Obsidian Castle's Throne room.]Adrian swept a hand through his hair, fingers dragging the dark strands back from his face. His muscles were drawn taut, shoulders tensed like he was in a battlefield. His fingers rapped against the armrest of his throne. His expression was troubled“F*ck.” This was the umpteenth time he said that word.It wasn't supposed to be this way.He had relished resistance from Estelle. The defiance. The war of wills, the cold shoulders and the sharp words. He enjoyed all of it. Because Adrian loved defiant women the most. Because he enjoyed breaking them in the end.But he had not prepared for the way she would make him feel things he couldn't understand. He had not prepared for the way she would invoke an urge in him to protect her just because she showed him her vulnerable side.He sighed heavily.He was wary. Wary of the strange, uninvited things stirring in his chest lately. Wary of the fact that after what happened in the garden, he wanted to pull her

Chapter 20: Me? Sleep with you!?!?

Adrian strode out of his study without another word. His steps echoed down the hall, purposeful. He soon arrived in front of Estelle's door. His boots struck the stone in a steady, deliberate rhythm, each step echoing down the empty corridor like a countdown. He didn’t knock when he reached her door. He didn’t announce himself. He simply pushed it open like usual. The room was warm. Firelight spilled across the marble floor in restless gold, catching on the edges of furniture and the glass vials lined on her windowsill. Estelle stood by the hearth, her profile turned toward the flames, one hand resting lightly on the mantel. She looked composed. She looked untouchable. She turned at the sound, swift and sharp, her eyes narrowing the instant they landed on him. For a fraction of a second, something unguarded crossed her face—surprise, maybe, or the ghost of an emotion she refused to name. Then the mask slid back into place. “What now?” she asked flatly while tilting her head to
