Novel & Cerita Twisted Wonderland Heartslabyul Rules

> Rule 3: You must attend every business function Lucian deems necessary, with no objections. > Rule 11: You will not initiate contact with any male guest unless permitted. > Rule 19: Your wardrobe will be curated weekly. Any personal alterations must be pre-approved. > Rule 31: You must always wear your ring. > Rule 44: You will not cry in front of Lucian unless granted permission. > Rule 50: Any breach of rules may result in severe disciplinary action. Physical, psychological, or otherwise. I stared at the last line until it blurred.

“Just the three of us, and there's a special rule. How about that?” Liam stared at Leander for a few seconds as if to see through his eyes what he was thinking. But who knows if they're telepathic? After all, they are twins. “What game?” Liam said. “It's called 'off the hook' .”. We use a deck of cards to determine rewards and punishments. In each round, the person with the lowest score has to remove something from his or her body; a watch, clothing, or something. At the same time, the person with the highest number of points can ask the person with the lowest number of points a question, or ask the person to complete a specified action or event.”

Before we enter the main area a pretty she wolf approaches blocking our way. "Good evening Gentlemen. Welcome to Undestined you made it just in time we quit allowing people in at 10pm. The rules are simple: there is no violence tolerated, well except for what is already planned. We all know finding a mate is rare nowadays but you still have until the party starts at 11pm to find them. After that you are free to enjoy yourselves judgment free. We are werewolves and very sexual creatures but everything must be consensual. Do you all agree to the rules?"

"Two people per team. To choose your partner, you’ll draw matching moon phase cards from the deck." She held up a small card, its surface etched with the crescent moon. "Once chosen, you and your partner must maintain physical contact while playing. Simple, yes? But there’s one catch." Whitney’s lips curved wickedly as her gaze cut to William. "The losers," she drawled, "must obey any reasonable command the winners issue. Pack laws of respect and tradition apply, of course." My hands tightened at my sides. The word *reasonable* hung in the air like an unspoken joke, its meaning twisted by those in power.

“How’s our little housekeeper?” Luca’s voice was behind me calm, stern. “She missed a spot.” They made me lick the marble clean. Then, they made me beg. I didn't know who entered me first. But I know who made me scream loudest. Now, every room in the East Wing holds a different rule. A different game. A different punishment. But the biggest rule of all? RULE 6: You may never fall in love. I broke that one last night. And I think they both know.

he said as he transformed into his wolf and hopped toward the battleground. He halted beside Logan’s wolf and bowed. The Council head looked at the two wolves and bowed after they had bowed for him “Here are the rules. Rule one: no shed of blood no matter how angry you are. Two, no circumstance should there be transformed into the human form. Rule three, no aiming for the brain and the heart. The new rule of disqualifying of the opponent as its back touches the ground is hereby canceled. You win when the opponent surrenders. If there is any question, you can turn to your human form and ask before we proceed.” The council head stated.

Not just yet. Clearing my throat loudly, I push Lucifer to the back of my mind. An audible hush rushes over the crowd as I raise my hands again to regain order. "Well..." I pause not quite knowing what to say after the disruption. "That was truly unfortunate. Especially on a special night like tonight." I plaster a fake smile across my face as I look down at the young werewolves that are about to enter the Labyrinth. "By now I think we all know the rules of the Mating Games," I say with a chuckle in my voice, "but I will go over the rules for those that may not be familiar."

As all of us in the room listened attentively, she spoke words that sent our mind ablaze on fire of conjectures. The candlelight flickered and danced, illuminating the walls like a living shadow, as the silence of the night descended upon the room. All of us eyes were now fixated on the soft rectangular velvet card within our hands, which held the secrets of the game. Like an otherworldly presence, the rules of the game kept us captivated and still. ╭───────────── ⋅ ⋅ ✦❘༻༺❘✦⋅ ⋅ ─────────────╮

A weird little community ritual. Instead, it felt like stepping into a battlefield, with Maya as commander, her rainbow crew as loyal lieutenants, and me standing like a rookie who didn’t even know the rules. And the worst part? Somehow, some way, I knew this wasn’t going to stay “yearly, secret, pointless.” It was going to get personal. Nia clapped again, bright and cheerful. “Alright, everyone, wrap it up. Soon we shall lie the candles and read out the anonymous message written on each paper, remember it's for fun and nothing should be used against anybody, secrets stay secrets”
