A Thousand Warriors

Dominic's PovAfter two minutes, the door opened and Shantel was escorted into the room.My gaze settled on her immediately.She was dressed in a simple silk-blue gown that fell gracefully to her ankles. Unlike the other maids, who wore plain brown uniforms with neatly pinned hair, Shantel's dark hair was gathered into a loose, slightly messy bun atop her head, giving her a softer and more youthful appearance.For a moment, her face brightened when she saw me.Then, as though she suddenly remembered who I was, she lowered her head and avoided my gaze."Alpha, what brings you here?" she asked politely.The maids' quarters were unusually quiet. Several young maids stood nearby pretending to organize linens, though their curious eyes kept drifting toward us.The head maid glanced at me,I gave a subtle nod, understanding immediately, she bowed before ushering the other girls out of the room.The door closed behind them, leaving only Shantel and me."Shantel."At the sound of her name, sh

Father's Chamber

Natalia’s POVEvening settled over the pack grounds as dark clouds rolled across the sky, flashes of lightning illuminating the distant horizon. After countless failed attempts to sleep, I sighed and pulled the blanket tighter around me.I had been alone in my chamber since Dominic left, and Hazel had been pacing restlessly beneath my skin, uneasy with our mate's absence. Even my favorite book, which usually helped calm my restless thoughts, couldn't hold my attention. Earlier, Shantel had sent word that her pack duties would keep her occupied until nightfall. I decided to change into something simple and take my usual walk through the pack grounds. It’s a routine I usually have whenever restlessness took hold of me, I wandered through the pack grounds until exhaustion finally pulled me toward sleep.So I quickly settled into a silky, light white dress which stopped below my knees, while a braided silver cord cinched the fabric at my waist. I checked myself out in the mirror by the

Golden Knife

Natalia's POV"Natalia!" my father roared, his Alpha command snapping me back to reality. "Talk to me, sweetheart. What did you mean when you said she's still not remorseful?” he asked, one question pouring after the other.I exhaled sharply, my heartbeat racing. Even Hazel lowered her head instinctively beneath the weight of his Alpha aura.I looked up to meet his gaze, steady on me without blinking. He was so seriously waiting for my response, but I just didn’t know how to present it to him.Would he believe Samantha had turned to dark magic?“Father," I finally said.His brows knitted.“It wasn't important, Father. I spoke without thinking. I actually wanted to say She has always held resentment toward me no matter how I treated her. So do you think someone like that would change, even when we banished her from the pack?” I asked, my voice steady, but his eyes still did not leave mine.“Since her mother passed away, I vowed to guide her as both her father and Alpha. But when a chil

Who's At The Door?

Natalia's Pov "Hey, watch where you're going!" I said as a body bumped into me the moment I was about to turn toward the hallway.I had just left my father's chamber and was on my way back to my room.The figure stopped, covered in a dark hood and robe. Hazel stirred uneasily beneath my skin, warning me that something was wrong despite the familiar scent of Shantel.Why was she dressed like this, and why did she seem desperate to avoid me?"Forgive me, my lady. I'm so sorry," she muttered.Without lifting her head, she tried to slip past me. I frowned at her unusual behavior and grabbed her arm firmly.She stiffened before slowly turning toward me."Shantel, stop hiding. I know it's you. Where are you headed at this time of the night?" I asked, my voice stern.The sharp scent of fear rolled off her in waves.She didn't say a word. She simply stood there silently with her head lowered."Remove your hood and let me see your face this instant.’ I thundered, my impatience rising.She swa

Furiously Enraged

Natalia's POV“Natalia, it’s me. Why are you taking so long?”Dominic’s voice suddenly echoed from outside the door, and even from where I stood inside, Hazel stirred excitedly at our mate’s arrival.But why didn't I smell his scent before?Shantel quickly shot me an "I told you so" look before turning to open the door for him.He exhaled sharply as he stepped inside, then pulled me closer before brushing his lips against mine in a brief kiss.When we disengaged, I asked. “What is really going on, Dominic?” He dropped onto the couch and released a weary sigh, as I watched Shantel close the door behind her.Perhaps, she didn't want to disturb our conversation so she's probably standing by the door.I turned to meet Dominic’s gaze on mine.“I really don’t understand what is happening, my love,” he said, his voice filled with concern.“What do you mean you don't understand what's happening?” I asked, my brows furrowing as I crouched beside him.He wrapped his hand firmly against mine the

Female Wolves Gathering

Natalia's POV“My Lady, are you alright?” Shantel said immediately after opening the door, and scurrying to my side."I'm fine, Shantel. Thank you for your concern.” I said, giving her a subtle smile. I knew she didn't believe me, but she didn’t argue with me. She only nodded.“I’d like to return back to my room, my lady. I’ll see you by morning.”I nodded, sniffing silently.“Okay, Shantel. Good night.”With that, she bowed slightly then proceeded out of the door, shutting the door with a soft thud behind her.I sighed heavily as I made for my bed, plopping gently against it.Where had I gone wrong? And why had Dominic become so furious? Because I didn’t tell him I had an encounter with my stepsister? Had he really been serious when he said I shouldn’t keep things away from him? Anything at all?I thought to myself as I proceeded to lay my weight on the bed. Exhaustion finally caught up with me, as Dominic's furious gaze followed me into sleep.****“My Lady, it’s me, Shantel. Pleas

A Great Speech

Natalia's POV Another she-wolf, who looked no older than fifteen suddenly raised her hand. I nodded, and she stood to speak."My Lady, I value your courage to speak up for us on these issues, but this has not happened before in centuries. Are you sure this will go well?"I inhaled deeply. I had not prepared myself for such questions, but I kept a neutral face without allowing my uncertainty to show."She-wolves of Moonshine Pack, I commend you all for speaking out and asking real questions. To answer your questions, I'll start with the first one that asked if our mates, fathers, or brothers agreed to let us learn such skills."Let me answer your question with one of my own." I paused, looking around until my eyes suddenly landed on Dominic.Admiration flickered in his gaze despite the unresolved tension between us. I quickly looked away avoiding any distraction."If, by chance, rogues corner us when our fathers, mates, or brothers are fighting at the battle grounds, how would you all

Magnificent Estate

Natalia's POV “Did you two just arrive together?” I asked, my brow furrowing as I looked from Shantel to Dominic, my gaze curious.Shantel shook her head.“No, my lady. I was almost at your door before I saw him approach,” she said, her voice steady.I raised my gaze back to Dominic. His expression remained unreadable, as though my question hadn't affected him at all.“Pack your bags. We’re leaving,” he suddenly said, breaking eye contact with me and starting to walk away.“Dominic!” I called behind him."You can't expect me to leave without discussing it first. I still have things to do at the pack—”I shouted behind him, but he was already striding away.I exhaled sharply, while Hazel growled softly beneath my skin in annoyance, then I turned to Shantel, who quickly lowered her gaze. I headed inside, and Shantel followed behind me, her hands fidgeting with the front of her dress.When we were inside with the door closed. I plopped back on the couch and faced her.“Shantel, it woul

Doing This On Purpose

Natalia's POV Shantel was led to her room by one of the mansion maids, who was dressed in a flowery yellow dress. I just realized that each maid had a unique dress, and it all stood out from the maids at the pack house and those at the previous mansion.None of the maids looked older than eighteen and had their hair neatly tied into tight buns.I stood still, stunned by the sight of the living room. It was so huge that I was sure more than a hundred wolves could gather there without feeling crowded.The walls were lined with large portraits of Alphas and Lunas from generations ago. Even though they were only paintings, the former Alphas looked so powerful that Hazel lowered her ears without thinking.At the center of the wall above the living room hung a massive family portrait.When I looked closer, I saw a man, a woman, and two young boys. One looked about seventeen years old, while the other looked around twelve.One of the boys looked so much like Dominic that I almost gasped. Ma

Scented Fragrance

Natalia's POVA sigh of relief escaped my lips the moment the door closed softly behind me.At last, I could finally breathe.Today has been one long day. So many things had happened that my mind still struggled to keep up with everything. From speaking before the she-wolves of Moonshine Pack to returning with Dominic to this new estate, it all felt like a dream I had yet to wake up from.Hazel shifted lazily inside me before settling comfortably. I smiled faintly and shook my head."I know. We both need some rest."My eyes wandered around the sitting room again before my curiosity got the better of me.The maids had only shown me the closet before leaving, which meant there was still so much of my quarters left for me to see.I slowly walked across the room, my fingertips brushing against the polished wooden furniture as I admired everything around me.Nothing had been placed carelessly. Everything had its own place.Fresh white lilies rested inside crystal vases, filling the room wit
