Eleanor could not help but notice Benjamin acting strange during the practice. He hardly even tried to make conversation like he always did, hardly responding to her too whenever she tried to talk to him.

Was he mad at her?

But why?

She tried to retrace what she did wrong to result in him acting that way towards her but Eleanor could not find out what it was. Strange as it sounded, she was beginning to like their friendship and his company. He had been there for her since day one with utmost persistence.

She decided to quench her curiosity and approached him. “Hey." Benjamin twisted to her upon hearing her voice beside him. "Is everything okay? You have been acting weird."

"It is nothing." But everything in his features said otherwise, from the frown lines on his forehead to the glances he threw at her neck area from time to time.

She had caught him before focused on it one too many times but did not care to ask. Why could he not speak up if there was a problem?

    Emma still was not at the lab when Eleanor returned to pick up her potion. She needed it to help the Queen and had planned to ask Emma for an extension on the assignment to make another one.When Eleanor waited for a few minutes for Emma to arrive and she did not, she took out her potion and headed back to the Queen's room.She gently nudged the door and strode into the big room.Bettie dropped the book she had held over her face. "I did not expect you to be back so early.""Yes, I know. But I could not stop thinking about your illness," Eleanor admitted, looking down at the bottle in her hands. "I have been working on something at the clinic that might help.""Really? What is that?""A Hibiscus potion. It is not a remedy. It would only reduce any discomfort you feel." Eleanor braced her up on the bed and screwed open the bottle. "You only need to take a little. Then you would be fine."It smelled a lot different than the potions Bettie was used to. A harsher kind of aroma pricked at

    Eleanor got out of bed the next morning and recalled last night's events. She did not muster the courage to question Benjamin's motives for taking her to a vampire's lair during a blood moon, though it was an odd place to go for a date, especially as a human.Other than that, she had spent the night eating and drinking to her fill. Which was why her head buzzed a bit this morning from the alcohol she had consumed. Benjamin coerced her into drinking more than she could manage and Eleanor had given in.She was starting to regret it as she already felt a slight hangover coming up.It all went away when she took a cold shower. Eleanor got ready to visit the Queen, confident that the potion would have worked its effects. She took along the rest of the potion and hastened there.The Queen was up when she went in. Eleanor smiled and walked up to her."How do you feel this morning?""Quite amazing. I had a good night's rest thanks to you."Eleanor's grin spread wider. "The pack doctor is not

    Drakken walked out of a meeting with Duncan behind him when they were finished. The Alphas of Red moon pack and Silvercrest had been engaged in boundary disputes that were escalating to war, which meant Drakken had to involve in their cases. The two packs were at war for it for months until Drakken decided it was time to clear the misunderstanding.The Alpha of Silvercrest had been the most difficult to deal with despite running the smallest out of all twelve packs. Drakken was reminded why they never got along in anything.Fatigue nipped at his bones. The sun was hardly down but he needed to retire and rest for the day."Cancel the rest of my schedule," he instructed Duncan. "I'm done dealing with everyone today."Duncan didn't ask questions and simply nodded. The chauffeur held open the door for Drakken as he slipped into the backseat. He rested back on the seat, letting out a sigh of contentment over today's successful meeting.A sharp pain suddenly sliced across his chest. Drakke

    "Somebody help me!" Eleanor cried as she ran down the familiar maze the has been seeing recently in all her nightmares, an eerie wind billowing wildly followed by the crow of the evil bird as it flew over her head as though guiding the angry men that thundered after her.Her white dress was shredded in different parts, and her wild hair flew about her that due to the angry wind, most times covered her face.But no one was there. And the maze was endless. Soon, she rounded a corner at the same time, she heard the mocking laugh of the men whose faces she couldn't see but were intent on catching her by all means. "Come back here, you little wench!" One of them swore and as he tried to grab her, the earth began shaking fiercely beneath Eleanor who fought to hold on but as it intensified pulled her with it that soon she was falling, falling and as her hands flailed for balance so did her voice claw in her throat and then..."Open the door!"Elanor jolted up from the bed in full force, he

    Very early the next morning even before Evie came to her room, Eleanor hurriedly went to check on the Queen. She was still fast asleep and her temperature was stable. There was nothing amidst. She dropped a scented Lilac potion in the hands of the omegas to give the Queen once she woke up. It was to keep her hydrated and replenish whatever strength she might have lost. She also informed them not to allow her out or to do anything stressful. Or eat anything heavy. After that, she went back to her room, prepared and hurried out. She had a lot to do today, one of which was finding out about Silverweed and its effects on werewolves. She really wanted to ask Emma but then asking Emma would bring up questions. Questions she wasn't able to answer. So, she opted for a better option, the clinic library.She did her ward rounds and then she sneaked off to the library.She went through the different shelves in search of anything relating to the topic and finally on the plant shelves, she saw

    Eleanor found herself standing in the middle of the garden after her conversation with Emma. She did not have much time to waste. The Queen's life was on the line and the pack doctor had not returned yet with a remedy. She picked up the cannabis flower, a plenty amount of them- that she received questionable looks from workers in the garden. If Eleanor noticed, she paid no heed. She hurried back to the healing school to mix the flowers in the new potion she recently concocted as the previous one was almost finished. Eleanor intended to mix it so it would be ready before evening when she would serve it to the Queen. Grabbing the container from her bag, she hurried back into the lab to blend them. However, to her dismay, Merit suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bumped into her, causing the container to slip from her hands and shatter on the floor. Eleanor's heart was devastated at the sight of her hard work being destroyed. All the content that had been preserved was gone. She was

    "Is he back yet?" Drakken questioned the minute Duncan walked into his study. He had been anticipating George's return from a kingdom mission, missing his gamma's company more than he wanted to know how his mission went. Plus, he was tired of receiving guilt-tripping looks from his Beta. So, he was excited when that morning, Duncan came in with good news. "Yes. He arrived just last night." Drakken slammed the file in front of him shut, not interested to spend even a second more in his study. He was already out the door. "Tell him to meet me up for fencing." An excuse was what he needed, to take a break from working. Sitting there in his study all day almost drained the life out of him. George's absence in the palace had him realizing his gamma was more useful than he thought. There were not many people Drakken loved spending time with. His mother always stayed in her quarters these days for some odd reason and so he rarely saw her, he was also ignoring the vampire princess for obv

    It was Friday and Eleanor didn't have many activities that day. It gave her more time to round up the potion she started preparing last night for the school's project. She put some aside for the Queen and made a mental note to visit her quarters later on.Eleanor had rushed out for work this morning and created no time to visit Bettie. She wondered what improvements her health made.She studied the cannabis flower more that afternoon in the lab, reading on its components. Eleanor did it for the greater good of all the omegas who had no one caring enough to make potions specifically for them.She'd only seen Emma and the others create medicines for the more powerful werewolves and none for the weaker creatures. They deserved fair treatment even if they were the lowest in the pack.It was a few minutes later when Emma strolled into the lab, her reading glass drawn down to her nose. She inspected the flowers Eleanor experimented with and picked one up."You're making progress," she sound

Eleanor screamed at the top of her lungs as she chased after her last child who seemed unaware of her mother's rage she giggled heartily, racing down the well-trimmed meadow at the back of the house where they went out to relax every day. "Magdalene!""Daddy!" The girl squealed, changing course from her favourite hiding spot at the back of a tall tree, towards her father who was smiling as he stretched his hand to catch her. "I am going to make sure you are sent off to a boarding school just like your older brother!" Threatened, Eleanor, tapping her forehead. She had been chasing the little foot from the house, refusing the help of the guards whom she knew her daughter feared greatly. Drakken had insisted his daughter was never to be left at the mercy of the brutes under any circumstances."Forgive us, Luna, we have sinned." Drakken made a face as they approached her, rephrasing the biblical words. "You spoil her, baby and then you leave

    ONE MONTH LATER."I can't believe this is finally happening, dudes. Can y'all believe it?" George asked as he took a long swig from the glass in his hand, his face squeezing from the strong taste of the brown modern ale. "I can't believe it too," Duncan let out cheerily, his face a mask of smile. "So... I thought to ask Evie out today.""What!" George thundered, half sitting up from his seat in astonishment as his eyes widened in shock. "Eleanor's maid?" Duncan was nodding his head, his smile not breaking. "I haven't approached her yet, but I have been keeping tabs on her and know her real mate rejected her which somehow works to my advantage, you know.""What about your mate?"Duncan shrugged casually. "I have been crushing on Evie for as long as I can remember, Geroge. I am telling her tonight. If there's anything I'm certain of, is that I see the way she looks at me sometimes in a sneaky way.""That didn't answer my question, Duncan. Do you want to break her heart in the future?

When Drakken went to punch once more, Benjamin was very fast to move away, giving Drakkn a kick to the face. George rushed to carry Eleanor from the ground, getting Benjamin's attention who was on the verge of attacking Drakken and Drakken used the opportunity to clasp his big hands around his shoulders and crushed it over his knees.

His mind was in turmoil, his thoughts consumed by the fear that something terrible had happened to her. He could feel his wolf inside him, agitated and restless, struggling to break free in his anger.Every room he searched, every door he opened, brought him no closer to finding her."Drakken, you need to calm down," George said as he approached him. "Destroying the palace won't help us find Eleanor.""I can't just sit here and do nothing!" Drakken snapped, his voice rising in frustration. "Eleanor is out there somewhere, and make sure she is safe."Duncan stepped forward and placed a hand on Drakken's shoulder. "We understand how you feel, but we need to approach this logically. We'll cover more ground if we split up and search different areas of the palace."He took a deep breath and tried to reign in his anger, but it wasn't easy.Just then, Emma appeared at the end of the hall.

    Merit’s hands closed around a heavy object when Benjamin turned back to Eleanor. Before she could even raise the object to strike, Benjamin lunged at her with incredible speed. Merit tried to dodge, but he was too fast. He caught her by the throat and lifted her off the ground, squeezing with all his strength.Merit gasped for air as she struggled to break free, but Benjamin's grip was too strong. She could feel her vision starting to fade as the world around her turned black.Suddenly, Benjamin was thrown back by a force. Merit crashed to the ground, gasping for breath as she tried to regain her bearings. When she looked up, she saw that Eleanor had somehow managed to break free from her restraints.Eleanor was wielding a chair, her hands still bound tightly to it as she swung it at Benjamin. Merit watched in horror as Benjamin dodged the blow, and the chair hit her instead.Merit's head spun as she tried to shake off the blow. She could feel the blood rushing to her head as she stru

    Eleanor slowly opened her eyes, her head throbbing with a dull ache. She blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the darkness that surrounded her. Panic rose within her as she realized that she had no memory of how she ended up here.As she tried to get up, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle and winced. Her heart was pounding now as she looked around the room, hoping to find some clue as to where she was. But the room was empty, except for a single chair in the corner.She tried to shout for help, but her voice was hoarse and barely audible. Suddenly, the lights came on, and she squinted, trying to adjust to the sudden brightness.To her horror, she saw two figures standing in front of her, smirking evilly. It was Merit and Benjamin.She attempted to get up, but her ankle throbbed with pain, and she collapsed back onto the ground."Merit!” She said in shock from seeing her. “What the hell is going on?" Eleanor demanded, her voice strained.Merit stepped forward and delivered a hot sl

    Drakken sighed heavily as he stood up from his desk, shuffling papers into neat piles before grabbing his black leather jacket from the back of his chair. He had been looking forward to this meeting for days, hoping to persuade the Vampire King to leave the palace and take his daughter with him. He was also about to send word to Eleanor that he wouldn't be joining her tonight. But now, with the news that George had just delivered, his mind was elsewhere."You were right about Gwendolyn," George was saying. "I caught her...with one of the palace guards."Drakken shook his head disapprovingly. "I told you so. It's best to forget about Gwendolyn. She isn't good for you. You'll find your mate soon enough."George nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "And you deserve to be with yours.""I will be dismissing Gwendolyn and her father from the palace tonight. It's long overdue."As a slight frown appeared on George's face at the news, Drakken felt frustrated with his fri

    Eleanor stirred in her bed and tried to shake off the remnants of sleep. She rubbed her bleary eyes and groaned, dragging herself out of bed as the carpeted floorboards protested beneath her weight as if voicing their own complaints about being disturbed so early in the morning. Eleanor stumbled into the bathroom, staring at her haggard reflection in the mirror and wondering how she would make it through the day.She was feeling restless that morning, and so she opted for a run. That was the only thing that could calm her, or at least she hoped.Eleanor put on her running shoes, tied her hair in a ponytail, and started to jog toward the forest at the back of the palace.As she entered the forest, she felt the cool breeze on her face, and her mind started to clear. She was running at a steady pace, but soon, she felt that same sensation that she always felt when she came here- like something was about to burst out of her.Eleanor stopped in her tracks and knelt down on the ground.
