The wind blows, swaying in the rhythm of the trees, and birds sing. The light so blue gives so much energy. Eliana closed her eyes the sun hit her face, and suddenly fast footsteps approached, and a loud growl followed in a flash. Then the light seemed dark, and thunder was sprinting in the sky. She turned around, and her eyes widened. The woman…Eliana wakes up with a sweaty head. She is trying to catch her breath while holding the blanket. In her thoughts, what a weird dream—-A different one, giving so many emotions inside her that feel so real.She shook her head and continued her chores. She did not see Gonzalo all day until evening. She decided to forget her dream and expected to sleep so well.But that evening, just as she had drifted into a fitful sleep. She stood on the edge of a cliff, staring out at the vast, endless ocean below. The air was thick with the scent of salt and wind. The sky was a strange shade of crimson as if the sunset itself was caught in a constant state of
Eliana gets up and takes a shower to forget about the dream. But she can’t forget how Gonzalo reacted when she told him about the dream. She sighs while wrapping the towel to herself.After half an hour of preparing, Eliana stared at the mirror. Her eyes dilated and moved backward until a loud noise on the floor echoed in the room. She turned around and saw the pieces of glass. She frowned and was about to pick it up when the door opened.Gonzalo stepped into the room, his gaze lingering on her a moment longer than necessary, before he nodded and gave a smirk. "Get dressed. We’ll head to the office now." She nodded and then Gonzalo walked out of the room.—Eliana was working quietly, her hands methodically cleaning the space around her. She didn&
Eliana awoke in a strange, disorienting haze. Her senses were heavy, and the world around her seemed blurred. The rain, still pouring outside, had taken over her every thought. She hadn't realized when she’d drifted off to sleep against the tree, the cold seeping into her bones. Yet now, as she tried to gather her thoughts, the steady rhythm of the storm was the only thing grounding her to reality.The wind howled, but there was something else, too. A distant sound that seemed so far away, but unmistakable. It was a voice, faint and whispering through the storm. Eliana's breath caught in her throat.She blinked rapidly, trying to clear the fog from her mind, but everything felt distant. Her hands clutched the branch beneath her, trying to steady herself as dizziness swept over her. She was on the verge of panic when her mind began to clear.
Eliana stood motionless, watching the woman as she turned to leave. The sense of unease had only deepened in her chest. Who was she? Her calm, impassive demeanor seemed to mask something far darker. Something that made Eliana’s skin crawl.The woman’s quiet footsteps echoed in the hallway as she vanished from view, and Eliana was left alone in the oppressive silence of Gonzalo's house. It felt like everything had shifted since the first day she’d arrived. The strange behavior of the woman, the abrupt disappearance of the previous security guard, and now Gonzalo’s refusal to explain anything. It was as if the house itself held a secret—one that Eliana wasn’t sure she was ready to uncover.Her thoughts were interrupted when the door to Gonzalo's office opened again. Eliana quickly straightened, expecting to see Gonzalo. But ins
"I miss you," she whispers, her voice as sweet as the melody of the wind through the trees.Caleb’s heart swells at the sound, a voice that belongs to the woman he loves. Around him, the air is filled with the fragrance of blue roses and red petals scattered across the grass. The soft, harmonious music seems to emanate from the trees, accompanied by the gentle hum of hummingbirds fluttering nearby. It’s a scene of serene beauty, almost ethereal in its perfection.He takes a step forward, each stride measured as he ambles through this paradise, drawn by the voice that has become his beacon of hope and love.Caleb finally reaches Lia, standing still as if afraid to break the fragile beauty of the moment. Her smile is like the sunrise, bright and warm, melting away the shadows in his heart. She rea
The forest was dense, and the air scent of pine. The towering trees cast long shadows across the ground, creating a maze of darkness and light. Caleb and his warriors moved silently through the underbrush, their senses heightened, their every movement calculated. The tranquility of the woods was elusive, masking the threat that lurked ahead.Caleb could feel the tension in the air, the calm before the storm. His heart pounded in his chest, not from fear, but from the fight to come. He knew Damien Ferns, the Alpha of the Lycan Shadow Pack, was cunning and ruthless. Their pack had clashed with his before, but the stakes were higher. This was no longer about territory—it was about survival."Alpha," Charles whispered, signaling with a hand gesture. "We’re close."Caleb nodded, his eyes narrowing as he scann
Eliana felt a pain in her back. She moved to the side and felt a hard object beside her. She slowly opened her eyes and was horrified to find herself in the middle of the forest with mud on her dress.“Where am I?” she whispered, trying to recall everything from last night. She shook her head, but her memory was a blank slate. No matter how much she tried to dig into her thoughts, a curtain had been drawn over them. Panic crept in as she tried to remember until a loud noise in the bushes startled her.She stood up quickly, but her legs wobbled, and she fell back into the grass. Her hands gripped the earth beneath her as she tried to steady herself. The sound in the bushes grew louder, and her heart raced. Was it an animal? Or worse?All of a sudden, someone shouted her name. “Eliana!”
The house felt quieter these days, the spaces between words more noticeable. Gonzalo, who had once been distant and cold, had become something else entirely. Eliana wasn’t sure what to make of it. His gestures were softer now, almost too soft, and his eyes held a warmth she wasn’t accustomed to. He seemed... kind, but in a way that made her feel on edge.She stood at the dining room table, absently wiping down the surface, watching him from the corner of her eye as he stood by the stove, stirring something in a pot. The rhythmic motion of his hand, the way his brow furrowed in concentration—it all felt so... intimate. It unnerved her.The absence of the woman who had once been a fixture in this house hung heavily in the air. Eliana couldn’t shake the feeling that the shift wasn’t just in the walls of the house—it was in Gonza
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
Eliana’s decision came swiftly, but it wasn’t an easy one. She couldn’t keep this delicate game going—the dance of questions that led nowhere and answers that only confused her further. Gonzalo’s behavior was too unsettling, his warmth too sudden, too pointed. She resolved to draw a line, to limit her world to the four corners of her maid duties. No more office runs, no more strained conversations where she felt his eyes linger too long. She would be just the maid—nothing more, nothing less.She brought it up one morning while clearing away breakfast. Gonzalo, seated at the dining table, flipped through papers with a kind of distracted focus. His pen tapped the edge of the table in a steady rhythm, but the moment she spoke, it stilled.“I’ve been thinking,” Eliana began, keeping her tone even though her hands trembled around the tray. “I’d like to stop working
The air in the house had changed again—subtly, but unmistakably. Eliana could feel it, like how the atmosphere shifts before a storm. Gonzalo hadn’t mentioned the incident. Not once. Not in passing, not funny. He’d continued as if nothing had happened. But his eyes carried something she couldn’t solve—a silent weight pressed against her ribs.Eliana’s footsteps echoed lightly as she moved through the hallway, her hands brushing against the smooth surface of the walls. The house seemed quieter than usual, the absence of guards making it feel unnervingly intimate. Gonzalo’s presence was harder to ignore without them around. He was everywhere. Or at least it felt that way.This time, he was waiting in the living room, lounging on the couch as though he belonged to the space in a way she never could. He held a book in his h
