Alpha or Lycan : Otsana's Dilemma Chapter 45
~OtsanaI closed my eyes, taking in the apology that felt more real than I had expected. The tension I had been holding onto began to loosen, and my chest ached with the need to forgive him. Pulling back slightly, I met his gaze, searching the depths of his dark eyes, looking for something more than just words.“Ralph, I forgive you,” I said, my voice soft and steady. The words were simple, but they carried more weight than I could express. “But you shouldn’t be here right now. It’s dangerous out there.”His expression shifted, and I saw a flicker of determination in his eyes. “Otsana,” he whispered, his voice low and urgent. “I need to show you something.”He reached out, his hand finding mine and clasping it with a firmness that seemed to say more than words ever could. “Please, trust me,” he said, his eyes locked onto mine. “I promise it won’t take long.”My mind swirled with hesitation. What could be so important that he would risk sneaking into the night? But there was something

~OtsanaWe shifted back into our human forms, our naked bodies steaming in the cool embrace of the night air. The silence around us was broken only by the faint rustle of leaves and the distant hoot of an owl."I found her just a few days ago," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. Ralph's piercing gaze fixed on me, his brow furrowed deeply, disappointment etched into every line of his face. "Why didn't you tell me you found your wolf?" he asked, his tone laced with hurt and confusion. His voice struck a chord in me, each word laden with emotion that made my chest tighten. I bit my lip, unable to meet his eyes. My heart felt heavy, a storm of guilt and regret brewing within me. "I was going to tell you, Ralph," I murmured, my voice soft and filled with contrition. "That’s why I came to your chambers that night." I hesitated, the memory of that moment still raw. "But you asked me to leave, and I didn’t get the chance." Ralph exhaled sharply, his shoulders sagging as though the

~OtsanaAs I closed the door behind me, the quiet of the room enveloped me, a suffocating stillness that heightened my unease. The familiar sense of dread crept over me like a shadow, making my skin prickle. "Otsana, wake up from your slumber," a deep, guttural voice growled, cutting through the silence like a blade. I froze mid-step, my breath hitching as I recognized the unmistakable voice of Ebony, my wolf. "What do you mean?" I whispered into the darkness, my voice trembling despite my best efforts to sound composed. "Ralph is not our mate," Ebony snarled, her tone sharp and commanding. "The Lycan king is our true mate. You must sever this false bond you share with Ralph and embrace your destiny." Her words echoed ominously in my mind, igniting a spark of defiance deep within me. I squared my shoulders, determined not to let her dictate my life. "I don't care if Noah is my destined mate," I snapped back, my voice resolute and unyielding. "My heart belongs to Ralph, and

~NoahI stood frozen, my mind struggling to process what had just happened. Otsana was walking toward me, her eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that made everything else blur. In that moment, it felt like the world had disappeared, leaving only the two of us.From the first time I saw her, I knew. She was my mate. She awakened something deep inside me, a feeling so strong and unfamiliar it scared me.The room fell silent, the kind of silence that felt heavy, like every single person was holding their breath, watching. My thoughts were a whirlwind, unable to settle or make sense of the storm inside me.Time seemed to slow. My heart pounded loudly in my chest, and each breath felt like a struggle. It was as if the world had stopped, waiting. But then, just as quickly, the moment broke.Otsana’s expression changed. Her brows furrowed in confusion, and she glanced at the crowd. Suddenly, realization washed over her, and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. “No, no! This can’t b

~OtsanaAs Noah turned to leave, my gaze fell back to Ralph, his body limp and bleeding in my arms. His usually strong frame was now frail, his breaths shallow and uneven. “Ralph, please,” I begged, my voice breaking with emotion. Tears blurred my vision as I clutched him tighter. “You need help. Let me take you to the physician. Please, Ralph.” He weakly shook his head, his movements barely noticeable. Blood stained his lips as he struggled to speak, each word a painful gasp. “Otsana… don’t… please…” His voice was barely a whisper, fading with every syllable. My chest tightened, panic clawing at my throat. “Callan!” I screamed, my voice slicing through the murmurs of the shocked crowd. Callan appeared, his face pale with horror as he stared at Ralph’s battered body. His lips parted as if to speak, but no words came. “Help me!” I shouted, my voice shaking with desperation. “We need to get him to the physician! Callan, please!” Snapping out of his daze, Callan knelt bes

~OtsanaThe small maid quarters felt colder than usual. I sat on the edge of the bed, clutching my knees to my chest, tears streaming down my face. Noah’s words echoed in my mind, each one a blade slicing through my heart. He had left . The mate bond we shared felt like a curse, chaining me to someone who could tear me apart so effortlessly.A soft knock on the door broke my thoughts. Before I could answer, Kate and a few of the other maids bustled in, chatting animatedly.“Did you hear?” one of them began, her voice filled with excitement. “Otsana’s mated to the Lycan King, Noah!”Kate’s face lit up. “Is it true? Are you really mated to him, Otsana?”The other maids chimed in, their voices overlapping with congratulations and hushed awe. But then, they noticed me. Kate’s smile faltered as her eyes fell on the tears staining my cheeks.“Oh, Otsana,” Kate whispered, rushing to sit beside me. “I’m so sorry. We heard… we heard about what happened to Ralph.”The others murmured their agre

~RalphThe morning came too quickly, dragging with it the weight of what was to come. My eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the pale light filtering through the curtains. The warmth pressed against my chest made me hesitate to move. Otsana was still asleep, her head resting on me, her breath soft and steady. Her hair spilled over my skin, and the faint scent of her comforted me in ways I hadn’t realized I needed.I reached up, brushing a strand of hair from her face. For a moment, I let myself forget the battle waiting outside these walls, focusing instead on the peaceful look on her face. It wouldn’t last long. A loud noise shattered the silence—voices, heavy footsteps, and the distinct clang of weapons. The sound pulled me from the moment, and Otsana stirred, mumbling something incoherent as her brow furrowed. A sharp knock on the door followed, jarring us both fully awake."Who is it?" I called out, my voice gruff with sleep."It’s Callan, Alpha," came the reply, firm and steady."C

~OtsanaThe morning sun slanted through the tall, narrow window, casting thin rays across the ornate room Ralph had given me. It was beautiful, too beautiful, with its rich mahogany furniture and soft, cream-colored drapes that fluttered gently with the breeze. A large bed sat at the center of the room, covered with white linens and dark-blue pillows that matched the carpet. I had never had a space so grand, so... regal. But now, it felt more like a prison.I paced the length of the room, my heart pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears. Every few steps, I would pause to peek through the window, straining to see what was happening in the clearing below. The roar of voices and the clash of weapons reached my ears, even from this distance. A chill settled in my chest when I saw Ralph, limping as he fought off a group of Grayson’s men. I sucked in a sharp breath. My hands trembled as I pressed them against the window, willing my mind to slow, to stop spiraling with thoughts of what c

~OtsanaTWO YEARS LATERThe sound of laughter echoed through the large packhouse as my twin boys darted past me, their tiny legs carrying them with surprising speed. They had inherited Ralph’s boundless energy and my mischievous spirit, a combination that kept the entire house on its toes. I leaned against the doorframe, a soft smile tugging at my lips as I watched Ralph chase after them, his deep laughter filling the space.“Gotcha!” Ralph exclaimed, scooping one of the boys up in his arms while the other giggled and tried to hide behind the couch. “Daddy’s too slow!” shouted Liam, the braver of the two, sticking his tongue out before Ralph mock-growled and lunged for him, sending him into fits of laughter.Life had changed so much in these past two years. Ralph’s curse had been broken the moment he marked me as his mate. The dark cloud that had once loomed over him dissipated, leaving behind a man who was capable of love, laughter, and boundless devotion. Together, we rebuilt what
Alpha or Lycan : Otsana's Dilemma Chapter 93
~RalphThe hospital room was too quiet, save for the faint hum of the machines monitoring Otsana. My heart felt like it was about to burst out of my chest as I paced the length of the room. We needed to leave before Noah arrived. Every second wasted was a chance for him to track us down. I turned to Otsana, her pale face pulling at something deep inside me. “Come on, Otsana,” I said gently, touching her shoulder. “We need to go now.” She blinked at me, clearly exhausted, but she nodded weakly. I helped her sit up, her body frail and unsteady. She was strong—too strong—but even she couldn’t fight against the poison wreaking havoc inside her. “Ralph, hurry up!” Jasper hissed from the doorway, his eyes darting down the hallway. “We don’t have time for this!” I ignored him, focusing on Otsana. Her breathing was shallow, and just as I was about to help her stand, her body jerked violently. “Otsana?” I froze, watching in horror as she started convulsing. Her head snapped back, her

~NoahThe trembling maid stood before me, her knees almost buckling under the weight of her guilt. She couldn’t even meet my gaze. "Who sent you to poison Otsana?" I asked again, my voice as sharp and cold as a blade. Her lips quivered. “It… it was Dara, your betrothed.” I froze. Time seemed to stop as her words sank in. Dara. That manipulative, power-hungry witch. My fists clenched so hard I thought my knuckles would crack. "Dara?" I repeated, my tone low, dangerous. "Y-Yes, my lord," the maid stammered. "She... she paid me to do it." I cursed under my breath, anger flooding my veins. My vision blurred with red for a moment, and it took every ounce of restraint not to lash out. That woman… she dared to attack Otsana, my queen-to-be? The maid’s trembling grew worse, tears streaming down her face as if she knew her confession had just sealed her fate. I turned to one of my guards and made a subtle hand gesture. "Take care of her." The maid’s eyes widened in horror. “N

~RalphThe guesthouse was quiet, eerily so, as Jasper and I crept through the shadows. The soft rustle of leaves from the open windows barely masked the pounding of my heart. Every corner we turned seemed to be occupied by Noah’s guards. Their positioning was methodical, almost suffocating, as if they anticipated our every move.Jasper nudged my arm, his expression grim. "We can’t keep skulking around here. How are we supposed to get out with all these guys loitering like statues?"I shook my head, my mind racing. "We need to find a way out without alerting them. I already called Otsana… but she’s not answering her phone." I clenched my fists, the thought of her in danger fueling my frustration."You called her again?" Jasper whispered, his tone skeptical."Three times," I replied, my voice low but laced with tension. "No answer."Jasper frowned. "You think Noah’s got her locked away? That bastard would pull something like that."I exhaled sharply, trying to keep my emotions in check.
Alpha or Lycan : Otsana's Dilemma Chapter 90
~OtsanaI woke to a piercing light stabbing through my eyelids. Groaning, I turned my head away, the sudden brightness making my head pound. Where was I? My body felt heavy, like I’d been weighed down by sandbags. My fingers twitched as I tried to push myself upright, but a wave of dizziness forced me back onto the soft mattress beneath me. I blinked several times, my vision slowly adjusting. White walls. The sterile smell of disinfectant. Machines softly beeping in the background. A hospital. My mind scrambled to piece together how I got here. “Otsana?” The familiar voice pulled me from my haze. I turned my head and saw Jessica sitting beside me, her face pale, her eyes rimmed red as though she’d been crying. “You’re awake,” she said softly, relief flooding her features. “You scared us, you know that?” I blinked at her, trying to make sense of her words. Scared? Why would she be scared? Then, like a dam breaking, fragments of last night rushed back to me. The dinner. The fo

~RalphSitting in the SUV parked a short distance from Noah’s mansion, I adjusted my seat for the fifth time. My nerves were on edge, but I kept my face calm. Outside, the night was dark and quiet, except for the faint hum of crickets. My men were silent, their eyes fixed on the mansion as if staring hard enough would give us a way in. Jasper, sitting in the driver’s seat, broke the silence. “So, Ralph,” he began, turning his head slightly to glance at me, “congratulations on the baby.” I froze for a moment, caught off guard. My throat felt dry, but I managed a shy, “Thank you.” He chuckled softly, shaking his head. “The mighty Alpha Ralph, my little brother, speechless. Never thought I’d see the day.” I gave him a small smile, staring out the window. “I saw it in my dreams,” I admitted quietly, almost to myself. “Otsana… she’s the only woman who could give me a child. I knew it would happen. I just didn’t know when.” Jasper grinned, leaning back. “Well, the Moon Goddess cle
Alpha or Lycan : Otsana's Dilemma Chapter 88
~OtsanaA knock startled me. I froze in place, staring at the door, every nerve in my body on edge. Noah wouldn’t knock again. He’d been here moments ago, and he had no reason to knock again. If it were him, he would have burst in like he owned the place—because, in his mind, he did. Another knock came, softer this time. Could it…Could it be Jessica? My breath caught in my throat, and I rushed to the door. If it was her, there was no time to waste. My heart thudded as I cracked it open cautiously. Relief washed over me like a wave. It was her. She slipped into the room quickly, her movements sharp and hurried. “Close the door. Now,” she whispered, her voice low but firm. I slammed it shut and locked it this time, double-checking to make sure it was secure. Turning to her, I saw her sharp gaze sweep over me, taking in my tense posture and trembling hands. “What’s wrong?” she asked, her tone softening. “Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?” I exhaled shakily, tryi

~Otsana“Pick up, Ralph,” I whispered, biting my lip anxiously. When the call abruptly ended, my chest tightened, panic clawing at me. Jessica’s eyes darted to me. “Did he pick up?” I shook my head, my voice shaky. “He ended the call.” Jessica’s brows knitted together. “Try again.” With shaky hands, I redialed his number. This time, the phone didn’t even ring. Instead, a robotic voice informed me, ‘The number you are trying to reach is currently switched off.’ My stomach sank. “No, no, no,” I muttered, my voice cracking. I turned to Jessica, my eyes wide with fear. “His phone’s off. What should we do now?” Jessica exhaled sharply, placing her hands on her hips. “Calm down, Otsana. Panicking won’t help.” I couldn’t calm down, not with my thoughts spiraling into every worst-case scenario imaginable. “What if Noah forced an abortion on me? What if Ralph doesn’t know what’s happening here? Jessica, what if—” “Stop,” she said firmly, grabbing my shoulders. “We’ll figure thi

~RalphThe car sped down the dark road, the headlights slicing through the night like twin swords. Jasper sat beside me, his hands resting casually on his lap, but his eyes were sharp, scanning the horizon. Behind us, two more vehicles followed, packed with my guards. The silence in the car was thick, broken only by the occasional hum of the engine. I gripped the steering wheel tighter, my knuckles whitening. The thought of Noah’s smug face flashed in my mind, and my grip tightened further. I swear, if he so much as touched her— "Ralph," Jasper said, breaking my thoughts. "You're gonna crack the steering wheel in half if you keep doing that." I let out a heavy sigh and loosened my grip, though my mind remained restless. “Jasper,” I began, my voice low, “what do you think Grayson’s up to?” Jasper turned to me, raising an eyebrow. “Grayson? What about him?” I shrugged, my eyes fixed on the road ahead. “His silence. It’s unnatural. The man doesn’t know how to stay quiet. It feel
