I knew at that moment that I had just crossed my boundary. ////////////////////////////////// Okay, so I have decided to give each chapter a status Frenzy(easy to write) Cranky( not easy) Frenzy but a little Cranky, you know what that is. This is imperfection, the first trilogy.

Tarun's bloodline ruled vast territories, and under his protection, I started over from scratch—slowly rising to become the Alpha female of the empire I now led. This year marked our tenth year together. After a long, quiet bond, we finally completed the true mate ritual. Tarun never asked too many questions about my past. He only ever looked at me with pain and tenderness. Thanks to the best healers from the Ancient Packs, my body was healed. I was now carrying our first litter. I thought my life had come full circle... until they reappeared. My mother looked so much older. Her once lustrous fur had turned stark white.

"You built the cages, but I know how to enforce the lock. The safe-mode state ends tonight, and the empire stays with the active command." ​

I woke up to the sun coming through the curtains and the birds chirping by the window. I looked down at Tess she was sleeping soundly her head on my chest. I picked up my phone to check the time 7:00 AM, I have to get up and get ready. My chosen mate will be at my Uncle's house at 9:00 AM. Feeling guilty I don't know how I'm going to explain this to her or to my family. Once her brother Damien finds out what happened we'll go at it. That's one fight I'm not looking forward to. Damien is born Alpha, with a temper like a tornado. Tess and Kendra are Alpha females, their parents were the Alpha and Luna of their pack high in the Carpathian Mountains. They came to our pack seeking refuge after th

But I was the one who had walked straight into him. Slowly, I lifted my gaze, and my breath caught. Werewolf. Tall. Dark-skinned. Every angle of his face was sculpted as though some divine hand had crafted him for admiration. I recognized him instantly. It was the Ascendant. The one who had first requested to buy my array. “You—” The word slipped out before I could stop it.

♡ ♡ Bella ♡ ♡ " Calculated image huh ?" he mused throwing a wink my way " It comes with my blood, Princess. I am the only heir of the Knight pharmaceuticals. I can't be a sobbing , broken mess now can I ?" My attention that has been slipping away was focussed on him once again . Not the jerkface , selfish and arrogant Jacob Knight but the Jacob Knight , The only heir of the Knight pharmaceuticals. If he was this mature about his positioning , if he already knew how to behave and act as to inherit his leadership position .

“Then we find them first.” Lucien’s eyes softened slightly as he looked at her. “You’re not even fully recovered.” “And they’re already mobilizing,” she replied, voice firm.

Phoenix Protocol. A system designed to reclaim control, to rebuild power from the ashes of exposure.

The parchment unfurled with a soft crackle, ink shimmering like molten gold. She read aloud: “By decree of the Three Thrones of Luminary—the Sun Throne of Solaris, the Moon Throne of Lunaris, and the Night Throne of Noctis—Princess Alessia Keren Endymion is hereby summoned to appear at the Imperial Conclave in seven days’ time for judgment, recognition, and ascension review.” Seraphine’s knees buckled. “Ascension?! Princess Alessia is sixteen!” Eryx groaned, “They’re out of their minds.”

“Don’t ask too many questions. It’ll be quick.” “Okay.” Concern still tightened my features when she walked out of the door. I got up on my feet. “Ren, open up!” I knocked on Ren’s door two doors next to mine. He quickly opened as if he was about to get out. “What’s wrong?” “What’s the effect of Imperium?” “How do you know about that?” He looked concerned. “Just fucking answer me.” I widened my eyes at him. “Dilated pupils and you pretty much know instantly once you see it on someone. He can be distracted or too focused when controlled.”

"Evan, I'm very sorry for what I did. I was so stupid and--" "Jasmine. I don't want to upset you or anything, but I'm not going through this with you again." "Can I ask you something?" "Go ahead." "Okay. What if you had come from a background where nothing was ever enough, and you grew up as the provider for Emma and Emily, and you were my personal assistant and I was the world's strictest boss." "Is this going somewhere Jasmine?" "Please listen, I need to get this off my chest."
