Novels by Gazelle.

✓ Riya I stood frozen with my eyes fixed on the rattling chains as the guards unshackled Ama. My pulse pounded in my ears, each beat echoing louder than the next. A gnawing unease climbed up my spine, tightening like a vice around my resolve. This wasn’t right—my instincts screamed it. Was I truly doing this for a secret? Or was something else pushing me? Even I didn’t know anymore. Ama sagged as the chains fell away, her body frail and trembling. The sharp lines of her slim and gaunt face seemed etched by anguish, her tangled hair hanging like a curtain of shadows. Torn, stained fabric barely clung to her form, and despite everything, I felt a crack in my armor. Pity crept in, unwelcome but undeniable. Sweat dampened my palms as anger churned within me, coiling tightly like a snake ready to strike. My breath hitched, and I clenched my fists. What am I doing here? The question roared through my mind, unanswered. Still, curiosity burned hotter than my doubts, consuming my reas

✓ Riya“No one is taking me out of here! I am going nowhere!” Howard shouted and struggled as the guards were about to seize him. He was quite the stubborn one from what I had gathered. His father was the Beta of Nathaniel's father, Alpha Fenrir.However, Howard Moonriver began to harbor hatred within his heart, because he wasn't elected as a Beta, instead of Beta Thane— Nathaniel's childhood friend— after Nathaniel took the throne, but was only given the position as the Head of the Pack elders. “Take him away now!” I commanded. “You'll regret ever sending me away for the rest of your life!” “Says a man who's about to spend the rest of his life in a cold cell! I order you to take him away immediately.” Nathaniel replied to him in my stead. The guards tried to drag him out, but he continued to dodge them, and didn't stop speaking, “You can never escape it! You're not fit to be a Luna!” “Tell that to the walls in the cell.” I scoffed, although the words slowly, but deeply cut into

✓ RiyaMy gaze swept over the overly sized room which I presently lived in, and I just couldn't believe that I had become one who now lived in luxury. All I could think of was the situation that led me to where I was now. It's been a couple of months and I haven't wrapped my head around the new happenings in my life. While I was lost in my thoughts, a knock landed on my door, jolting me to my feet. Even after staying here for months, I was still scared of every little thing. What if they found out that I wasn't what Nathaniel had portrayed me to be? The sound of the knock on my door again finally took me out of my trance, and I dragged myself to the door, opening it to reveal the face of my maid, Lily, who I had come to really like a lot. However, she looked so scared at the moment. "What is wrong, Lily? You look like you've just encountered a ghost." I chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. "Oh, your highness. It is not my wish to look this way too." "So, who has forced the str

✓ Nathaniel "Everyone, stop moving!" The man pointed the gun at Riya's head and even the sight of it, made my torso shake with fury. “Release him now or I would burst her brain open!” He shouted, moving closer to where Riya was. My gaze stayed on Riya for a minute, and I could tell that I hadn't seen anyone as scared in my entire existence. She looked utterly terrified as she wrapped her arms around Maria, and drew closer to her, even almost syncing with my sister's body. My heart ached badly, but I had to deal with the current pest. My eyes narrowed- even at his boldness, and my wolf danced at the consequences that would followed suit. I summoned and merged with my wolf, while locking eyes with the fool, yellow flecks dancing in my irises. Suddenly, like being hypnotized, he began to tremble, and the hand with which he held the gun kicked off trembling terribly, while turning towards his right temple. He struggled immensely to control himself, grunting loudly, an

✓ Nathaniel My mind flashed back to the wounded image of Riya on the ground, and my body shook with anger. I had watched Riya in her unconscious state, and I knew she had gone through so much. Her bruised and rough hands were of someone who had spent quite a long time doing hard chores. Her skin was tanned, as though she’d lived under the sun all her life. So, seeing these people hurt Riya made me extremely angry that I wanted to end their existence. My grip tightened on Brandon's neck, and although I knew he was almost dying, my grip on him didn't loosen. My wolf was seething with revenge and was feeling blood lust, and that he needed was for Brandon to die to quench the thirst. “You can go tell your regrets to your ancestors when I'm done with you!” I growled. “No one touches my woman and leaves in one piece.” “She is not your woman!” A lady with a strong resemblance to Riya screamed, cutting me off. I turned sharply to face her, my marbles losing at her statement

✓ Riya While I looked around the room, my eyes caught a figure and I gasped, my hands flying to my mouth. ___ Nathaniel was there, grinning from ear to ear. He approached me, and my breathing set about getting caught in my throat with every step he took forward. “Wandering around, young lady? Or are you trying to flee?” He reached me and pinned me to the wall, his hands held up in a Kabedon. He leaned in closer, staring into my eyes, his breath warm on my skin. He saved no room for escape, even if I wanted to. My eyes locked with his gray eyes, with my heart thumping so loudly I could almost hear it, and then I was struck with something- like a tiny spark at the back of my head. Maybe not, maybe more than just a spark. Like a volcano, erupting and finding its way into my loud heart. I tore my gaze from his eyes, and they landed on his rosy lips. Then, without much thinking- like under a huge hypnotism- I kissed him, and surprisingly, he kissed me back- more intensely. Wh
