ALPHA DORIAN ~22 CRYPTIC TEXT
Eden Monroe. As I lay in my bed, I couldn't shake off the memory of Dorian's touch. It had been a week since I last saw him, but my thoughts kept drifting back to that morning at his house. I tried to push the images from my mind, but they only seemed to intensify with each passing day.Suddenly, there was a knock on my door, and my father, Charles, entered the room. I sat up, wondering why he was there so early in the morning."Eden, I noticed this past few weeks, you have been spending a lot of time outside. Do you want to tell me why?" Charles asked, his gaze fixed on me.I knew I couldn't tell him the truth. I couldn't confess that I had been spending my time thinking about a man, let alone reveal my investigation into Carla's death."I have been going to school and visiting the library. I have a lot of assignments and research to do," I replied, hoping my response would satisfy him.But Charles wasn't convinced. "You know we have everything you might need in this house, so I don
ALPHA DORIAN ~23 IN THE SHAWDOWS
Dorian Grimaldi. I pulled my car over two streets away from Eden's house as she had requested, but I couldn't help feeling a sense of unease. I had noticed Eden's mood had been off since she saw me with Lenora at the mall, but I couldn't put my finger on what exactly was bothering her. Is it Lenora or something else? As I turned to her to speak, she avoided my gaze, and her body language was closed off. "What's wrong, Eden? You seem distant," I probed gently. Eden sighed, her eyes flicking up to meet mine before quickly looking away. "It's nothing," she muttered, twisting a lock of her fiery red hair around her finger. "Just Charles. I don't want him prying into my life." My confusion was palpable as I furrowed my brow, "Charles? What does he have to do with anything that is happening now?" Eden turned to face me, and I couldn't help but take in her features. Despite the tension between us, I found myself admiring the way the sunlight filtered through her red hair, casting a fier
ALPHA DORIAN ~24 UNRAVELING SECRETS
Eden Monroe. I had found myself in the middle of a thick, dark forest. The trees towered over me, their branches reaching out like gnarled fingers. The air was thick with the scent of pine and damp earth. I felt a sense of unease wash over me as I looked around, realizing I was completely alone.Suddenly, a voice whispered in my ear, "The answers are all around you, if only you look closer," it said to me. The voice was low and menacing, sending a shiver down my spine. I turned around, trying to find the source of the voice, but there was no one there. I was completely alone in the huge forest.As I walked through the forest, I noticed that the trees were starting to close in on me. The branches reached out like bony fingers, scratching at my skin as I pushed past them. I could hear the voice getting louder, urging me to look closer. It sounded angry now, like it was frustrated with me.I started to run, panic setting in me. I didn't know what I was looking for, but I knew I had to f
ALPHA DORIAN ~25 INCONCLUSIVE RESULTS
Eden Monroe. I walked into the hospital and approached the receptionist's desk. As I spoke with the nurse, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The sterile white walls, the smell of antiseptic, and the hushed whispers of doctors and nurses all made me feel out of place.After the nurse instructed me to wait, I sat down in the waiting room. As I looked around, I felt like someone was watching me. I turned my head, but no one was there. I shrugged it off and tried to relax, but the feeling persisted.Suddenly, a cold draft swept through the room, causing my hair to stand on end. I felt as though something was trying to reach out to me from beyond the walls. I tried to rationalize it as just my nerves, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched by something or someone. Finally, the nurse called my name, jolting me back to reality. I got up and followed the nurse down a long, dimly lit hallway towards the doctor's office. As I walked, I couldn't help but feel a sen
ALPHA DORIAN ~26 PROTECTING EDEN
Dorian Grimaldi. As I approached her, I called out her name, but there was no response. She was completely unresponsive.My heart sank as I realized that something had happened to her. I tried to shake her gently, hoping to rouse her from her unconscious state. But still, there was no response. Panic began to set in as I realized that I didn't know what to do.Thankfully, I could hear the steady beating of her heart. That was a small comfort, but it wasn't enough to quell my growing concern for her safety. "I'm sorry, Eden." I whispered. I knew that Eden was completely unaware of the supernatural world, and I couldn't bear the thought of her being thrust into it without any warning. The creature she saw had obviously frightened her beyond measure, and I could only imagine the trauma she was experiencing. I vowed to do whatever it took to keep her safe from the dangers that lurked in the shadows.As I sat there beside her, I couldn't help but take in the beauty of the park around us
ALPHA DORIAN ~27 LOST IN ANOTHER WORLD
Eden Monroe. I suddenly woke up, gasping with beads of sweat on my forehead, and sat up on the bed. I had just had a terrifying dream where monsters were about to devour me. To my terror, the creatures in my dream resembled the werewolves I had seen in movies and the experience felt so authentic, the agony felt genuine. I quickly checked my arms for any sign of harm, but thankfully, they were unscathed.Letting out a heavy sigh of disappointment, I brought my hand up to my face and pressed my palm against my forehead. It was all just a figment of my imagination, I thought to myself, reassuringly reminding myself that werewolves were not real. However, little did I know that my assumptions were about to be challenged.As I was about to recline back onto the bed, my eyes wandered around the room and I couldn't help but notice my surroundings. The bed I was on was no ordinary bed; it was a majestic canopy bed adorned with pristine white curtains that blurred everything beyond its confin
ALPHA DORIAN ~28 DUTY Vs LOVE
As I was in the car driving Eden home, I recollected the conversation I had with my mother. We had a lot of disputes, and I tried to be reasonable with her, but it's lady Maurie Grimaldi, she never listens. "The mate bond is sacred, Mother. You cannot break it just because you want me to mate someone else because of a treaty," I said to my mother."And I can't stand the sight of Lenora. I can't force myself to feel something that's not there,""You don't have to love her. The mate bond is not about love, it's about duty and responsibility. Your duty is to your park, and the bond ensures the continuity of our bloodline," my mother had argued.I had heard enough of it. I respected my mother, but I couldn't accept her words. I couldn't spend my entire life with someone I didn't love. And then there was Eden. She was different. I felt something for her, something I couldn't explain.It was until I parked in front of Monroe's house did I stop to look at Eden. She was sleeping, her hea
ALPHA DORIAN ~29 A MARK OF A WOLF
Eden Monroe. I found myself in the middle of a dark forest, with no memory of how I got there. I could hear the leaves rustling and the branches creaking, but I couldn't see anything beyond a few feet in front of me. Suddenly, a howl echoed through the trees, making my heart skip a beat. I tried to run, but my legs wouldn't move. I was stuck, like a deer in the headlights.The howling grew louder and closer, until I could see the silhouette of a wolf emerge from the shadows. It was huge, with matted fur and gleaming yellow eyes that seemed to glow in the dark. I tried to scream, but no sound came out. The wolf approached me slowly, its jaws gaping open, revealing sharp, white teeth.I closed my eyes and prayed that it was just a dream. But when I opened them again, I was no longer in the forest. I was in the middle of a deserted city which looked like North Creekville, surrounded by abandoned buildings and broken streetlights. The sky was red, as if on fire, and there was a strange s

His intense gaze scanned my body, searching for any signs of injury or harm inflicted upon me."Don't worry, Dorian. I'm alright.

ALPHA DORIAN ~95 SINISTER PLAN

What's up?" he responded, addressing me by the new title that would soon be bestowed upon me."Funny. I need to talk to you," I replied, urgency lacing every word, my tone betraying my inner turmoil."Are you okay? Cold feet? You don't want to be queen?" Ben inquired, his eyes filled with concern."No, it's not that... Ugh, just please, be serious for once. This is really important," I pleaded, my voice tinged with frustration.Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Ben guided me to a secluded corridor in the bustling hall. "Alright, now tell me, what's the problem?" he asked, his voice lowering as if to match the intensity of the situation.Taking a deep breath, I relayed to him everything I had overheard from the conversation of those I accidentally eavesdropped on."Wait, did you just sa
ALPHA DORIAN ~94 INTRIGUING WORDS

ALPHA DORIAN ~93 SHADOWED PURSUIT
Dorian Grimaldi.The day of my placement as Alpha king had finally arrived, and the atmosphere in the pack house crackled with anticipation. The halls were teeming with werewolves, their energy palpable as they hurriedly prepared for the momentous coronation. I could sense the eyes of my pack members upon me, their expectations weighing heavily on my shoulders.Lost in my thoughts, I stood in the midst of the bustling crowd when Gustavo, my steadfast beta, approached me with a grave expression. He handed me a letter, and as I perused its contents, my initial disbelief gave way to a steely resolve. The Mendalv clan, our once dependable allies, had chosen to sever their ties with the werewolf community, leaving us vulnerable and without a safety net.I read through the details of the letter, my face a mask of indifference, though inside, a storm brewed.

I muttered, my voice laced with a mix of grogginess and playful annoyance.Dorian's lips curled into a knowing smile, his voice filled with teasing amusement. "I never slept, you see.
