The garden flourished under the golden hues of the setting sun. As I practiced harnessing my newfound abilities, I felt a warm presence beside me—Caleb, the beast in my eyes before, but now slowly fading and becoming an integral part of my journey. The air crackled with energy, and an unspoken connection between us seemed to deepen with each passing day.One evening, as the vibrant colors of twilight painted the sky, Caleb suggested a break from training. We strolled through the garden, the delicate fragrance of blossoms swirling around us. The enchanting atmosphere ignited a spark within me, one that transcended charm and touched the realm of emotions."Caleb, there's something I need to understand," I began, my gaze fixed on the intertwining vines that adorned the garden walls.He turned to me, his eyes reflecting the depths of a story he had yet to share. "Ask anything, Eliana. I owe you the truth."The truth—I craved it like the air I breathed. "What do you know about the Safe Hav
As the night enveloped us in its embrace, Caleb's presence brought a sense of security, yet questions lingered like shadows in the corners of my mind. His touch ignited a flame of desire within me, but beneath the surface of our budding romance, secrets lurked, waiting to be unearthed.As Caleb's lips brushed against mine, I felt the weight of uncertainty pressing down upon me. Was I ready to surrender to this bond, knowing that the truth remained shrouded in mystery?But before I could dwell on my doubts, a sudden realization dawned upon me—I couldn't ignore the truth any longer. The events of the evening, the eerie howls, Caleb's abrupt departure, and his mysterious demeanor—all pointed to a reality I had been reluctant to confront.Gathering my courage, I gently pushed Caleb away, searching his eyes for answers. "Caleb, there's something you're not telling me, isn't there?"His expression faltered, a flicker of hesitation betraying the facade of calm he had worn. "Eliana, there are
My body trembled and I couldn't move from my place. Is it happening? Tears continued to flow into my eyes. Caleb is gone. Some creatures abducted him. Before I could move my feet, the light turned off. I hugged myself and sat down on the floor. I looked around, and everything was too dark; I couldn't see any light. I wiped my tears. I need to be strong. Perhaps, I am just dreaming. I tried to pinch my shoulder."Ouch!" I shouted. I am no longer dreaming. I hugged my knee and looked down. Staring at the floor made me feel at ease until loud waves of laughter echoed around."It's not funny!" Caleb shouted. I stood up and looked around."Caleb?!" I shouted in fear. In an instant, broad shoulders pulled me and hugged me tight."I am here," he hissed. "It was only a prank from my friend, Charles."I looked up. "How…." I gulped, trying to ease my voice. "How did he do that?" Caleb carefully pushed me to look into my face. He smiled and my heart melted."Caleb's smile, warm and reassuring, m
As we ventured deeper into the unknown, a sense of unease settled over me like a heavy fog, clouding my thoughts and casting doubt upon our journey. With each passing moment, the questions that had been lingering in the back of my mind grew louder, demanding answers that seemed to slip through my grasp like grains of sand.Chief among those questions was the nature of my relationship with Caleb.For as long as I could remember, Caleb had been my constant companion, my rock in times of uncertainty, and my guiding light in the darkest of moments. Together, we had faced countless trials and tribulations, emerging stronger and more united than ever before. But now, as we stood on the precipice of a new adventure, doubts began to gnaw at the edges of my consciousness, threatening to unravel the fragile threads that bound us together.Was Caleb truly the one for me? Or were we merely clinging to the familiarity of our past, afraid to confront the uncomfortable truths that lay buried beneath
Running around Caleb's mansion is one of the ways I remove my worries. I started running at 5 in the morning to ensure my mood was good and I could fully show him my smile. I caught my breath when something growled behind the trees near the gate. My heart pounded fast as I walked, and fear crept into my system. "No," I whispered, trying to comfort myself. As I got closer and passed the trees, I felt something strange. The hair on the back of my neck began to stand up. It was like a wave of anxiety rising. A loud howl echoed inside the mansion. I looked back, and the birds in the sky started to fly away. My eyes widened, and I didn't know where to go. The howls were coming from both near the gate and inside the mansion. I screamed as I saw something moving in the grass. It was so fast.I ran inside the mansion, thinking about Caleb's safety. I ran and ran until I reached Caleb's room, but to my surprise, he wasn't there, and a gust of wind hit my ears. I walked inside and saw the curta
I couldn’t move even though Diana was no longer around. "Caleb?" I muttered to myself multiple times. Was it the same Caleb that I loved? My eyes widened. Love? Did I love him? I shook my head and ran. I had no direction and didn’t know where to go. It was too much to carry. My scar made Caleb mad, but I didn’t know why.I felt something in my stomach that made me stop. I looked around. The gust of wind was so noisy. It sent shivers down my spine. I took a seat in the grass and closed my eyes. Everything flashed back to me.It had been too easy to leave the orphanage. I thought it was better for all of us, but it seemed it was not. I took a deep breath and lay in the grass. My heart beat so fast as I tried to think about every moment.The first time I met Caleb, he was so arrogant. Caleb rarely spoke to me after he accepted me into his mansion, but for some reason, he started to talk to me. His eyes always held a certain sadness, a depth of pain that I could never fully understand. Yet
Days had passed, and Caleb remained despondent. He was always sleeping and refused to go outside. I took a deep breath and closed the door behind me. As I looked around, I forced a smile for the people there. Walking through the trees, I felt a strange sensation coursing through me, my skin prickling with goosebumps when I heard a loud howl. I sprinted through the grass, my heart pounding until I heard someone calling my name.“Eliana.” I turned around, stunned. It was Caleb. He appeared suddenly and grabbed my hand, pulling me as we ran out of the village.“Wait,” I tried to protest, but he kept running until the village was no longer in sight. We stopped, gasping for breath, and I seized the moment to speak.“Are you alright?” he asked, gently brushing a strand of hair from my face. I nodded. “It’s good that you kept nagging me to wake up. That village is no longer good for me.”“What do you mean?” I asked, bewildered. He just smiled and tapped my head.“Don’t worry about it. Let’s
As Caleb left me in the kitchen to tend to the meal, my thoughts swirled with uncertainty. Charles had already disappeared into the living room, leaving me alone with the daunting task of preparing a meal for an unexpected gathering. The clatter of pots and pans echoed my racing heartbeat as I pondered over my place in Caleb’s life.Does he love me? The question lingered like a stubborn shadow. Had he ever uttered those words to me? I couldn’t recall, and the uncertainty gnawed at my insides as I mechanically cleaned the shrimp, trying to distract myself from the whirlwind of emotions.Outside, the sounds of boisterous laughter reached me through the kitchen window, drawing my gaze. I peered out to see six men arriving, their camaraderie evident in their easy banter and hearty laughs. It was a rare sight—Caleb seldom had visitors, let alone a group of six.Turning off the stove, I hesitated for a moment, debating whether to join them or retreat to the solace of the kitchen. Before I c
Eliana’s fingers trembled as she pulled open the black bag that Headmistress Rosie had handed her, her heart racing. The objects inside shimmered in the dim light, and a sudden wave of familiarity washed over her. The fragments in her mind, blurred and distant, started to come into focus. Something stirred deep inside her, a memory, a feeling she couldn't quite place.She stood frozen in the center of the room, gazing at the bag, as the sounds of muffled voices and low growls filtered through the walls. Then, the roar rang out—louder this time, raw and primal. Eliana’s pulse quickened, a sense of dread seeping into her bones. She dropped the bag onto the floor, its contents scattered. The picture of the woman in her dreams. Starting to see the clear pictures in her memories while she rushed toward the door. Her feet barely touched the ground as she flew outside, the air thick with tension.Her gaze darted across the yard, and there, in the clearing just beyond the
The forest was cloaked in an eerie stillness as Caleb made his way through the dense foliage, his senses heightened. He had finally pieced together the truth, thanks to Damien Ferns. Gonzalo’s plan had been revealed, as well as the secret of his identity. Gonzalo was not merely a rival—he was the catalyst for all the suffering Caleb had endured.As Damien Ferns was about to be defeated he asked for his mercy in exchange for telling him the truth. At first, Caleb was hesitant because ¼ of his pack members died at the Lycans hands. But, Damien is begging and kneeling at him. “You can kill after you know the truth. I am tired of being manipulated by Gonzalo.” Damien answered. Caleb widened his eyes.“What do you mean?” Caleb pointed her sharp claws to Damien's neck. “Tell me everything!”The truth about Lia’s reincarnation struck him like a thunderstorm, each revelation hitting him harder than the last. Eliana wasn’t just someone who reminded him of
The moon hung high in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the battlefield as the Blood Moon Pack and the Lycan Shadow Pack squared off. The dense forest echoed with growls, snarls, and the crackle of branches underfoot. Tensions were high as the two opposing packs braced for a confrontation that would change their fates forever.Caleb stood at the front of his pack, his sharp eyes scanning the opposing force. Despite the burning silver cuffs that had bound him hours ago, his strength had returned, his wolf's fury unrelenting. Damien Ferns, the Alpha of the Lycan Shadow Pack, stood opposite him, his expression smug and taunting."Damien," Caleb growled, his voice steady but laced with venom. "You made a mistake coming into my territory, taking my people, and dragging me here. You'll regret it."Damien smirked, his amber eyes gleaming under the moonlight. "Oh, Hemmington, you're always so predictable. Charging in with all your might, yet blind to the truths that surround y
The night was shrouded in an ominous silence as Caleb moved through the outskirts of town, his senses heightened, and his wolf on edge. The name Damien Ferns had been whispered in every corner of the territory lately, a rival whose shadow loomed larger with each passing day. Caleb knew that the Lycan Shadow Pack’s sudden resurgence was no coincidence, and all signs pointed to Damien as the leader of this growing threat.Caleb indeed wanted to find justice for her Luna Lia. He needs to be strong to fight the enemies. He takes a deep breath and then the woody scent lingered around.“Alpha,” Charles’s voice came through the field, steady but tense. “Our sources say Damien’s been spotted near the old warehouse by the river.”Caleb’s jaw tightened. “Keep the patrols on high alert. I’m heading back to the mansion to regroup.”But deep down, a growing unease twisted in his gut. Something was off—he could feel it. He knew something would happen but he couldn't point it out.
Eliana’s breaths came in shallow gasps as she leaned against the tree trunk, the forest’s damp air clinging to her skin. Memories swirled in her mind like a whirlwind, pulling her back to the moment everything changed.It was late one night at Caleb’s mansion, the quiet of the vast estate broken only by the soft rustling of leaves outside her window. She had been restless, her thoughts occupied by Caleb’s piercing gaze and the unspoken tension between them. That night, he had appeared in her room unannounced, his presence commanding yet tender.“I shouldn’t be here,” Caleb had said, his voice low, almost a whisper. But he didn’t leave.Their connection was undeniable, magnetic even. The walls Eliana had carefully built around herself crumbled as she allowed him to step closer. That night, under the dim glow of the moonlight streaming through her window, they had shared something intimate, something that transcended words.But the morning after, the truth unraveled. S
The forest was alive with tension, a stark contrast to the stillness that once surrounded it. The moon hung low, casting an eerie glow over the Blood Moon Pack and Lycan Shadow Pack as they clashed under its watchful eye. Growls and howls echoed in the night, accompanied by the sounds of snapping jaws and tearing flesh. The war between the two packs raged like a storm, its ferocity shaking the quiet town of Scottsdale to its core. Damien Ferns, the Alpha of the Lycan Shadow Pack keeps on glaring at Caleb.Amid the chaos, Caleb stood firm at the edge of the battlefield. His amber eyes scanned the horizon, searching for any sign of the woman he sought. But it wasn’t Eliana he found. Instead, his path led him deep into the heart of the forest, where the oldest wolf in existence waited.The ancient wolf’s fur shimmered silver under the moonlight, his ey
Eliana blinked in confusion at the message she had just received from the woman guard. Gonzalo had instructed that he wouldn’t be returning home for a week, and she was strictly reminded not to step outside the house. The sternness in the woman’s tone as she delivered the message only heightened Eliana’s unease. Gonzalo had always been unpredictable, but something about this felt... different. Off.Her gut churned, that all-too-familiar sense of foreboding settling in her chest. She couldn’t quite place her finger on it, but she knew—she just knew—that something was wrong. Still, she forced herself to focus on her chores, hoping the monotony would quiet the gnawing worry in the back of her mind.The following morning, Eliana woke up to an even stranger reality. She blinked against the soft light filtering into her room, only
Caleb couldn’t shake the unease gnawed at him as he watched Gonzalo. Something about his movements was off. Gonzalo, usually composed and confident, seemed... jittery. His eyes darted around the room like a cornered animal, and he kept adjusting his tie, which was already perfectly straight. Caleb’s instincts screamed that something wasn’t right.Charles, standing beside Caleb, nudged him with a smirk. “Looks like someone’s hiding something,” he said in a low voice, his tone teasing.Caleb shot him a glare, but it wasn’t enough to stop the amusement dancing in Charles’s eyes. Caleb didn’t have time for his beta’s games. His focus remained on Gonzalo, who was making his way toward the door, his movements stiff and unnatural.“Gonzalo,” Caleb call
Caleb stood by the large bay window in his office, the warm glow of the setting sun bathing the room in a soft amber hue. The golden light kissed the sharp angles of his face, highlighting the tension in his jaw and the flicker of something buried deep in his eyes. His thoughts swirled like a storm, fierce and unpredictable, torn between the weight of his duties and a gnawing feeling that he couldn’t quite name. It wasn’t just the responsibility of being an Alpha that pressed on him—it was something else, something that threatened to unravel him if he acknowledged it.As he spoke to his cousin, his lips lifted in a genuine smile, a rare moment of ease slipping through the cracks of his usually guarded manner. The conversation flowed effortlessly, a reminder of the good times he’d shared with Luna Lia. His voice softened as he spoke of her, the memories of their shared laughter and u
