"They're coming, Benedicta. Grab all your stuff right now!" One second, I snapped my head around at the panicked Paul who clutched a towel around his waist. But when I looked back, the creature was gone. Shocked by the sudden disappearance, my eyes darted around in search of nothing. "Did you hear what I fucking said? Gather your stuff and let's go!" "Did you-did you see that?" I pointed at the empty window oozing in chilling air. As the breeze got stronger, so did my confusion. "Wake the hell up, Beni," Paul yelled, startling me off my trance. "What is wrong with you?" Without saying a word to Paul, I followed him like a doll as he led me out of the room through a secret passage. "Find them. They haven't gone far." That deep scratchy voice penetrated the walls. "Search the bushes. As ordered, bring her alive." —-------------- —-------------- Benedicta, a young girl sets out to retrieving a glowing stone buried in the depths of the earth, located near Beast Land, a terrifying place inhabited by massive werewolves known as the Lycans. Despite the danger, Benedicta is determined to find the stone, which is said to possess great power. Meanwhile, the Alpha of the lycan pack is cursed, and has been unable to produce an heir for thousands of years. Each time he chooses a pair of lycans to mate and produce offspring with, the pups turn into stone as soon as they are born. His Lunas (female werewolves) also die soon after the curse takes effect. When Benedicta crosses paths with the enraged Alpha, she inadvertently restores his youthful appearance, with just a STEP, triggering a rage that threatens to destroy them both. Hot tension rains down on them as the changes begin.

My boss had a new boyfriend called Eugene Larson. The first day he came to the office, he put on a great show of exerting his dominance. He deleted my number from my boss's phone right in front of me. Eugene waved his phone in front of me while playing innocently. "You can talk to me about anything you need to communicate to Tina, Mr. Sanders. I'll help you pass the message to her. I don't have much sense of security, so please don't mind this. It's to avoid any misunderstanding between us." I was hoping my boss, Tina Kayden, would be able to say something fair on my behalf, but all she did was stare at Eugene approvingly and adoringly throughout the conversation. She turned to me and said, "This is a pretty good plan, Mr. Sanders. Do take good care of Eugene from now on." As there was no way for me to reject her, I was forced to add Eugene's contact to my phone. However, the moment he had my number, he flooded my phone with messages. [Mr. Sanders, is the client you're meeting tomorrow with the surname Charleston a man or a woman?] [Where are you having the meeting tomorrow? Wear something casual tomorrow. It would be best if you avoid washing your face and hair. Otherwise, I would think you're trying to seduce my wife.] [I believe your relationship with Tina is innocent. You're not allowed to betray me because I'm treating you like my buddy!] [By the way, you have an extra duty from now on. You need to remind Tina every 30 minutes to send me a message telling me that she loves me.] As I read these ridiculous messages, I laughed in anger. I put my phone on silent mode and flung it to the side before going to bed. The next morning, I woke up to dozens of missed calls on my phone.

A grim look flashes past Daniel's face as he heard someone knocking on the door. When he finally sees Heather's pretty face so deeply imprinted in his head, his lips curl into a sarcastic smile. "So you've been telling people I'm dead?" Daniel asks.

“Don’t you have other things to do than follow every movement I make?” I flared at him as he trapped me against the wall, his breath fanning my face as his nose brushed slightly with mine. “Do you think I would make the mother of my son go around without protecting her? What if someth—” “Daddy, do you want to kiss mummy? I’ll close my eyes,” Nathan’s words made I and Leo snap our heads toward him. “No! We are not kissing,” I say in shock.

C'était notre septième anniversaire de lien. Pourtant, Xavier Martin, l'Alpha qui contrôlait tout, a ramené à la maison sa maîtresse enceinte. Depuis sept ans, il me vouait un culte. Il baisait ma main devant tout le monde en disant que j'étais sa lune, la seule Luna de sa vie. Mais aujourd'hui, sa main reposait sur le ventre d'une autre louve, comme pour exhiber un miracle. « Elle porte mon premier petit. Tu as le pouvoir de la Déesse Lune. Je veux que tu la bénisses. De plus, elle fait des cauchemars durant sa grossesse, alors elle prendra la chambre principale. » Je suis restée figée, croyant avoir mal entendu. « Est-ce une plaisanterie ? C'est ma chambre ! » Il a levé les yeux, le ton chargé d'avertissement. « À partir d'aujourd'hui, c'est la sienne. » La colère a manqué de me faire rire. Ma voix tremblait, mais elle était claire. « Tu as mis enceinte une louve Oméga de bas étage et tu la ramènes dans notre maison ? Xavier Martin, tu as complètement perdu la raison ! » « Je ne le répéterai pas une troisième fois. Libère la chambre maintenant. » Son aura est devenue glaciale en un instant. Sa pression d'Alpha m'a frappée de plein fouet, faisant gémir ma louve en moi. Il a cru que j'allais me soumettre docilement, mais il ignorait que j'avais déjà fait mes valises il y a des semaines, quand j'avais reçu la vidéo de son adultère. Alors que je marchais vers la porte d'entrée, je l'ai entendu ricaner derrière moi : « Laisse-la faire sa crise. Elle reviendra rampante dans moins de trois jours. » Les membres de la meute ont ricané dans mon dos, pariant déjà sur le nombre de jours que je tiendrais cette fois. Cependant, la voiture privée envoyée me chercher attendait déjà devant la porte. Cette fois, je rompais définitivement avec lui.
