Hand in hand, they both walked towards a pathway that had light in them. As they walked hand in hand, a sense of anticipation filled the air. The pathway ahead seemed to glow with a gentle radiance, casting a warm and inviting light."What exactly did you plan?" Fiona questioned Scott curiously as they kept heading to a particular direction that was different from the place where the Alpha ball was happening. Scott smiled at Fiona, his eyes reflecting excitement. "I have something special in mind," he replied, squeezing her hand gently. "I know we were supposed to go to be at the Alpha ball, but I thought we could have our own adventure tonight since Hercules decided to ruin it for us,""I couldn't agree more," Fiona said, a playful smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "An exploration with you sounds much more enticing than dealing with Hercules's antics. So, where are we headed?"Fiona's curiosity deepened, and she nodded, intrigued by Scott's mysterious plan. The pathway they
EDEN POVAs I stumble into the woods, panic grips my heart. Every Step I took felt heavy and uncertain, the silence of the woods was shattered by the sound of rustling leaves.Suddenly, I hear a low growl, chilling bones. I turned around only to catch a glimpse of glowing eyes peering at me through the darkness.I start running, my heart pounding in my chest. But the woods seem to stretch endlessly, with no clear path to safety. The trees close in around me, their branches clawing at my skin as I desperately try to outrun my pursuer.I glanced over my shoulder and caught sight of a shadow closing in on me, the presence was skeptical but he seemed to have the hunger in his eyes for my demise. Fear surges through me as I realize I am being hunted. I push myself harder, my legs burning with exertion. The growls grow louder, echoing through the trees, urging me to run faster. I can feel the hot breath of my pursuer on the back of my neck, its presence looming closer with each passing se
ELIZABETH POVAs I stood near the rogue camp, my heart raced with both emotion and nervousness. I knew the plan I had concocted was risky, but it was our only chance to bring an end to their reign of terror. I reached up and ruffled my hair, trying to give myself a disheveled appearance that would blend in with the rugged surroundings.I jumped into the rogue camp unnoticed by the guards.My gown, once elegant and befitting of my status, now lay torn and tattered. I had deliberately chosen to dress down, shedding the trappings of my privileged life to immerse myself in the role I was about to play. It was essential that I looked the part of someone desperate, someone who had lost everything and was willing to do whatever it took for justice.Taking a deep breath, I steeled my courage and reviewed the plan in my mind one last time. I had studied the rogue camp meticulously, observing their routines and vulnerabilities. Now, it was time to put that knowledge into action.With a devote
ELIZABETH POV"I have never seen you around here? Were you recruited by the rogues recently?" Casey asked.I looked at Casey, taking in her skeptical expression and the curiosity in her eyes. It was clear that my presence in this particular circle was still very unexpected. As I took a moment to gather my thoughts, I realized that I needed to craft a response carefully. Revealing too much about myself could potentially compromise my mission, but evading her questions might raise suspicion.With a calm demeanor, I replied, "No, I've been around for a while, just keeping a low profile. I ran away from my own pack!" I lied to her.Casey's eyebrows shot up in surprise, clearly not expecting that answer. She leaned in closer, her curiosity piqued. "You ran away from your pack? Why would you do that?"I met her gaze, making sure to maintain a level of vulnerability in my eyes. "It's a long story," I began, my voice tinged with a hint of sadness. "I never quite fit in. The alpha and I had..
ELIZABETH POVThe cold metal in my throat sent a shiver down my spine, but I refused to let panic overtake me. I focused on maintaining a composed facade, even as my heart raced with terror.Suddenly, a deep, authoritative voice cut through the tense atmosphere. "That's enough, Marcus."The rogue's grip loosened, and he reluctantly released me, allowing me to step back. I turned my attention to the source of the voice and saw a tall, imposing figure standing a few steps away. It was Victor, the leader of the rogues.My eyes locked with Victor's, and I couldn't help but feel a mixture of relief and apprehension. He was known for his ruthlessness and cunning, and crossing paths with him was never a good sign. But perhaps, in this moment, he could be my salvation.Victor's piercing gaze shifted from me to Marcus, the rogue who had just held me captive. His voice remained calm, but there was an unmistakable edge to it, a warning that brooked no disobedience."You know the rules, Marcus,"
ELIZABETH POVI watched as he handed me a weapon with a steady hand, his eyes fixed on me expectantly. I hesitated, feeling a surge of conflicting emotions within me. Part of me wanted to believe that there might be another way, a path that didn't involve taking a life. But another part understood the seriousness of the situation and the importance of gaining Victor's trust.Taking a deep breath, I reluctantly reached out and accepted the weapon from Victor's outstretched hand. Its weight felt heavy in my grasp, and I couldn't help but wonder if this moment would forever change who I was.As I approached the prisoner, his eyes widened with a mix of fear and pleading. I wanted to tell him that I didn't want to do this, that I was trapped in a situation beyond my control. But words failed me, and all I could offer was a silent apology.The dungeon was dimly lit, and the air felt heavy with tension as I raised the weapon, my hands trembling slightly. Time seemed to slow down as I grappl
EDEN POV"Why are you so into finding out about the Alpha of the midnight pack?" Adele asked me while we both painted.I looked at Adele. 'It's hard to explain, Adele," I replied, my voice filled with a sense of wonder. "There's just this magnetic pull, this inexplicable connection I feel towards him. It's like an unbreakable thread tying me to them, pulling me deeper into his world.""Is he by chance your new love interest?" She asked but i wiggled my head instantly.I chuckled softly as the thought crossed my mind, my paintbrush still in hand, as I dismissed Adele's assumption. "No, no, it's not about romance at all. It's something deeper, something that resonates with me on a soul level."Adele furrowed her brow, clearly intrigued by my response. "So, what is it then? What makes this Alpha so captivating to you?"I paused, thinking of a way to explain. "I had met him during the Alpha ball and he seemed to know enough about me, something just seemed skeptical about him!" I explained
EDEN POVWe both seemed to have ended up having paint all over our bodies while we laughed at each other but my whole attention was soon diverted when the familiar voice of Scott echoed in the air.I turned my head towards the source of the voice, my heart skipping a beat as I saw Alpha Scott standing there, his eyes twinkling with amusement at our paint-covered state. I felt a slight blush creep up my cheeks, a mix of embarrassment and excitement swirling within me."Having fun, are we?" Alpha Scott asked, a playful smirk tugging at the corners of his lips but they instantly halted when he saw Owen.I exchanged a quick glance with Owen, both of us realizing the predicament we were in. I straightened up, trying to regain some composure despite the paint splatters on my face and clothes."We...uh...got a little carried away," I stammered, trying to find the right words.Alpha Scott's gaze shifted between Owen and me, his expression turning serious. "You know better than to engage in f
