Eleanor was getting one too many unexpected visitors that night. First was the vampire princess. Now Benjamin had shown up too, towering over her door in an intimidating manner. He might not mean to seem that way, but taking up that much space with his size surely did make it so.

Fear kicked in again and Eleanor wished she had not asked Evie to leave for the night. If she had not been in such haste to see the Alpha King, she would not have dismissed her maid.

"What brings you to my room?" Eleanor summoned up the courage to ask. It was unusual for him to visit. She had agreed to be friends with Benjamin, but it did not insinuate he could show up to her room whenever he liked without invitation. It made her a bit uncomfortable.

It was almost late at night. What if Drakken had seen them and gotten the wrong impression? She could not be bothered about that anymore, Eleanor reminded herself.

"I am curious," he spoke, moving away from the door. "Where were you going?"

She had no reason to a

    A few days later, there was a meeting in which Drakken was present. Various contentions arose during the pack's meeting regarding the upcoming moon festival, but Drakken kept mute amidst all that. Benjamin sat opposite him on the table, seeming unbothered and uninterested in the preparations. His presence irritated Drakken who thought it would be better for him to leave. He was not contributing in any way after all."Security has to be tighter than the last festival, I suppose," one of the elders said. "We can't afford to have any more attacks on the pack.""I agree. They came after the Alpha King last time. Who knows what they would do next?"The recent attack on the Alpha King spiked insecurity in the kingdom, and an unhealthy amount of rumour. Some said it would be best if Drakken wedded the vampire princess sooner for added security from the vampire kingdom, while others were suspicious of the vampires themselves.Drakken's own suspicions were targeted at his half-brother. But he

    The seamstress arrived that afternoon to take Eleanor's measurements. She was too chatty for Eleanor's liking, even worse than the first time they met. And a bit gossipy. The woman did not stop asking questions about the Alpha king’s new lunaquen, which Eleanor corrected a few times as the princess was not Lunaqueen yet.Eleanor's mind drifted away to Benjamin's visit and what he had said to her. It was harsh, but it did not make it any less true. Drakken's focus would be on the princess when they tied the knot. There would not be a need for her anymore which meant a lot of things.She could no longer sneak out to his room in the middle of the night. Their late night horse rides would be a thing of the past. And she would be cast away like garbage, just as Benjamin described.Eleanor blew out a sigh as the seamstress stared up at her. "What is wrong?""Nothing. Carry on and do not mind me."The woman whipped out her measuring tape and resumed. Gregory had come to Eleanor the other nig

    Benjamin was astounded when one of the palace guards came to inform him that his father had summoned him to his study. It wasn't often the old man did, so getting such an offer came as a surprise to him.When he arrived, his father's head was bent over an old ledger that held his attention but on noticing him, closed it and waved him in. A girl soon dashed in to serve them some red wine.Alfred dismissed the girl as she stood by in case of more orders, for some privacy."You were not being too discreet in eye fucking that girl," Alfred pointed out. "I brought you to this palace for a purpose but it seems you are getting distracted by the women in it.""I can have a little fun along the way, can't I?" He smiled into his cup as he tasted the sweetness on his tongue. "Alcohol and women are what a man needs. I'm trying to have the best of both worlds here.""I do not want you swayed from keeping an eye on your brother. You never know what he is up to."His father made it clear the only re

    "I want to go home," Nicky whined. "When are we leaving?"A headache started at Eleanor's temple. She had seen that coming. Nicky had asked her about it countless times but she had always diverted the conversation to something else. There was no escaping it now."We can't go home yet, sweetheart." She said calmly, stroking his hair softly as he lay on the bed. His lower lip pouted. "I want_”"It is simply not possible." Eleanor inhaled and then said in a quieter voice. "I am sorry. Mama has an aching head. Let us discuss this later. For now, all you need to know is that we must stay for the meantime.""Fine," he sulked."Shall I read to you another story from the fairytale book?" Eleanor tried to pacify him, picking a book from the kiddie's shelf on the wall beside his bed. "There are lots of them in here.""It is okay for the night. You just said your head ached."He was too considerate for his age. Eleanor smiled and closed the book, glancing over at Gregory who dozed in a chair no

    Drakken stormed out of his study immediately after he received the news. The palace guard had given him a description of someone coming out of the nursery, and Drakken knew without a doubt it was Eleanor. Everyone described her the same way because of her outstanding features.Nicky was the reason she never attempted to escape the palace. It gave him the upper hand. But now she had found him. Drakken could not say how. He had underestimated her too much. He was slightly terrified she was going to leave now that she had found Nicky. He had done his best to avoid that outcome.He was not ready for her to leave yet. Drakken did not think he would ever be ready for it. Nothing could prepare him.As he swung the door to his mother's private parlour open, he was gripped to see Eleanor sitting side by side with his mother, her hands clasping Eleanor's tightly. How had they become that close in a matter of minutes?"There you are, son. Perfect timing." His mother released Eleanor's hands. "Th

    Eleanor knew she made a huge mistake saying what she did to Drakken. She never meant any of it. It would fuel whatever anger he had toward her for sneaking around the nursery. That is if they told him.She was only mad at him for being so reckless with his mother. The woman seemed to be extremely nice, and he just had to speak to her in that manner.Eleanor wanted parents but did not have that luxury. She wished every single day they were still alive being one happy family. Drakken had it. He had parents and he took them for granted.She heard hefty footsteps stomping down the hallway before the object of her thought came in without knocking. Hands folded across her chest stubbornly, Eleanor matched his gaze with the same intensity. He was not going to intimidate her. Not this time."What the hell was that about back there?" Drakken left her bedroom door open behind him and walked in. "Why did I get a report that you were sneaking out of the nursery?" Oh, Lord!Both were rhetorical qu

    Eleanor stared into space as Evie packed her bag to go camping. The maid's lips moved like she was saying something but they all fell on deaf ears. Eleanor's mind had wandered off. After the argument with Drakken last night, she felt drained and only wanted to stay in all day without talking to anyone. But she had promised Emma she would show up camping with the rest of the hospital crew.The last thing Eleanor wanted was Emma getting mad at her too, or else she would have come up with an excuse for not going.She needed the exposure, Eleanor thought again. Going out there was a better option than being depressed in her room. It would take her mind off the nagging feeling of hopelessness that had haunted her in the last hours.She had been debating in her head who was more at fault for her recent disagreement with Drakken and everytime, Eleanor was caught at a dead end. Nothing seemed to be making sense."You do not seem like your usual self." Evie zipped up the small bag and handed i

    Drakken’s temper had been awful since the argument with his mate. Awful was putting it mildly. The situation kept him up the whole night until the early hours of the morning when he headed to his study to look for something to distract himself as his friends weren't awake yet to fence with him. It was almost midday now and Drakken's bottle of whiskey had already emptied.He had hoped alcohol would do something to reduce the pain in his chest as it always did. But no, his mind kept replaying last night's activity. Had he been too harsh on her?Sighing, Drakken moved to his window and pulled back the curtain, staring outside. The first thing he saw was his father guiding a horse which Gregory was perched on top giggling heartily. The mere sight of his father increased Dtakken’s anger. He was the bane of Drakken's life. An annoying obstacle responsible for the misfortune he was going through.Drakken swayed slightly on his feet, the alcohol in his veins taking its course. He was drunk b

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?

    Drakken threw himself at Benjamin at his words, already deciding within himself that if Benjamin wanted the throne then he had to win him for it. But one thing was for sure; he was done tolerating the bullshit called his stepbrother. As the situation was right now, someone's head had to roll for peace to reign.He delivered a clean punch to his guts and Benjamin toppled over, spewing out blood. 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. There was a painful growl and Benjamin started transforming into his hideous wolf.This was part of the reason Drakken had never been comfortable around Benjamin. When he was born, he overheard his father telling Benjamins's mother that he was never going to accep

    Eleanor’s hands shook uncontrollably as tears streamed down her face. The world had stopped making sense to her. How could she have been so blind to the truth? The man she had trusted with her heart and her secrets had been the one responsible for the greatest tragedy of her life.She remembered the day when her family was murdered, the horror and pain etched into her memory forever. It had been Drakken who murdered them. And to think, she had trusted him all this time.But that wasn't the worst of it. The spy had gone ahead to reveal the thing that made Eleanor's heart sink to her stomach. Drakken was the one who had violated her, stolen her innocence and left her with scars that would never heal.

    Drakken charged through the palace, his eyes scanning every corner and room for any sign of Eleanor. 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.
