She smiles now the food being placed on my own legs, which was causing the pain in my stomach to grow worse now the food was right in front of me. “Why do I feel like I have been dumped in a type of cult?” I ask forcing my eyes away from the food to look at her, where she laughs shaking her head at me. “This place isn’t a cult, but you won’t learn what is really going on if you die from hunger.” She says holding up a fork with the same expression on her face, I knew what she was doing and quite frankly, my body didn’t have the willpower to stop it due to starvation.

Pathetic, I thought, lips curling. My pencil skidded across a blank page. I recreated her concept with more polish, more symmetry, embedding pave diamonds along the jagged metal shards she’d left exposed. By the time I was done, the piece looked nothing like hers. At least, not to the untrained eye. To me, it was obvious – an elevated theft. I smiled, adrenaline coursing through me. Outdo her. Outshine her. Outlast her. That was how I would keep Lucian by my side. That was how I would erase Eloise once and for all.

But it turned out that she was just using me, manipulating me for her own gain."

By the time she finally stepped back from the painting, it was nearly midnight. The room smelled of paint and rain seeping through her window. She stared at the chaotic masterpiece in front of her. It was perfect in its imperfection. Angry. Vulnerable. Powerful.

The truth is, it was a trick within a trick. Didn't you enjoy stealing? Then I'll put it on display for you to grab. Pity Donell Cedar. He truly believed he had stolen a real gem, and spent a lot of manpower, resources, and money to publish the song and lyrics, and get it to the top of all the music streaming platforms.

he had told her to say to her enemies at least to ease the pains unlike the cowards in existence. She wouldn't love nor care about any damn single person or thing, and grows into what they made her become; an emotionless thief. Is it all about money, or love, or her? How manipulative she could be? "I won't only steal from him, I'll break him too, into pieces and shatters." That's what you get for bullying an innocent young girl. It's all about her.

My brother accepted them both into our pack as members so they didn’t smell like rouges. Over the years, we have developed a skill set that has fit us well. Courtney taught us the trade of pick-pocketing and we taught her how to use that for good. It started as a simple thing. An Alpha and Luna had visited our store and purchased a beautiful blue diamond earring set. I had to hand deliver it to them in South Dakota. Right before we left from dropping it off, someone had stolen it from Luna and almost killed her in the process. We managed to track it down and return it to the Alpha. The Luna survived and they were in our debt for returning the jewellery. Word spread that that and now we are l
