~Ralph

Morning of the Wedding

The first rays of dawn streamed through the thin curtains of my room, doing little to chase away the dread that had been building inside me. My chest felt heavy as if the weight of the entire pack—and more—rested squarely on my shoulders. Today was my wedding day.

To Sophia.

Not Otsana.

I rolled over in bed, groaning, my hand reaching for my phone on the bedside table. Without thinking, I dialed Otsana’s number. It rang once. Twice. No answer. I cursed under my breath and dialed again. Still nothing.

“Damn it, Otsana,” I muttered, pressing the phone against my forehead. “Just let me hear your voice.”

I knew she was with Noah now. The thought of that bastard—her mate—taking care of her both comforted and infuriated me. At least she was safe. At least she wouldn’t have to witness this farce of a wedding.

A tear slipped down my cheek before I could stop it. I clenched my jaw, wiping it away angrily. Alpha Ralph didn’t cry. Yet here I was, falling apart like

    ~OtsanaThe sound of the heavy lock turning echoed through the cold, damp dungeon. I sat up quickly, my back pressed against the stone wall as the metal door creaked open. A man stepped in, holding a tray of food that smelled like it had been scraped off the bottom of a pan. “We leave at sunrise, get ready” he said, as he placed the food on the ground and turned to leave.“Wait,” I called out, my voice raspy from thirst. “Where are you taking me? You said we leave at sunrise… where are we going?”He glanced over his shoulder, his expression unreadable. For a moment, I thought he might answer, but he just shook his head and left, the door slamming shut behind him. The lock clicked again, sealing me back into silence.I stared at the tray of food. A chunk of stale bread, a piece of overcooked meat, and a small cup of water. It wasn’t much, but it was better than nothing. Hunger gnawed at my stomach, and I reached for the bread. As I broke it in half, I heard the faint scuttling of tiny

    ~RalphThe tension in Noah’s office was suffocating, but I wasn’t about to show weakness—not in front of him. He sat there like he owned the world, his casual posture irritating me as he swirled a glass of amber liquid. I refused to meet his smug gaze. The sound of the clock ticking on the wall was louder than my own heartbeat, yet my thoughts were racing faster than ever. Otsana was out there, and we were wasting time. "Are you going to sit there all night, or are you going to eat something?" Noah finally broke the silence, his voice calm, almost amused. He reached for a plate of sandwiches on his desk, pushing it toward me. "You need energy if we’re going to find her."I glared at him. "I’m not here to eat, Noah. Save your hospitality for someone who cares."He smirked and leaned back in his chair. "Suit yourself, but starving yourself won’t help you think any clearer. And we both know you need clarity right now." I clenched my fists. "Don’t act like we’re friends. We’re not. You’

    ~OtsanaThe air was thick with dampness, the dim light of the corridor flickering weakly as I was dragged by Jasper’s men. My wrists throbbed from the tight ropes cutting into my skin, and my heart pounded in my chest. They didn’t say a word as they pulled me through the old building. My captors’ silence was almost worse than the occasional sneers they’d thrown at me earlier. Finally, we stopped in front of a door. It was heavy, made of dark wood, and bore the scars of years of use. One of them pushed it open, and I was yanked inside.The room smelled of stale air and dust, and I could immediately tell it hadn’t been used in a long time. A worn bedframe sat in the corner, and a tattered carpet covered parts of the creaky wooden floor. The wallpaper peeled at the edges, revealing the rough stone beneath. “This used to be mine when I was a child,” Jasper said, stepping into the room after us. His voice was low, almost contemplative, as he looked around. “Fitting, isn’t it? That you’d

    ~RalphThe night stretched on endlessly, oppressive and heavy, like a storm cloud refusing to break. The silence inside the packhouse was deafening, broken only by the sound of my boots hitting the cold stone floor. Every step echoed around me, as though mocking my desperation. Otsana was here—I could feel it. Or at least she had been. “Jasper!” I roared, my voice reverberating through the halls. There was no answer. Of course not. That coward wouldn’t face me directly.Behind me, Noah followed at a leisurely pace, his calmness a stark contrast to my barely contained fury. His footsteps barely made a sound, but I could feel his presence, smug and unbothered. “You know,” he began, his voice smooth and maddeningly relaxed, “yelling at the walls won’t do much good. They’re not going to suddenly sprout mouths and give you answers.”I ignored him, my focus locked on the door at the end of the corridor. Each door I opened, every room I checked, only heightened my frustration. I didn’t nee

    ~RalphThe guest house was too loud. Too damn loud. Laughter, the clinking of glasses, and the obnoxious hum of chatter filled the air. It was the kind of noise that grated on my nerves even on a good day—and today was anything but a good day. My fists clenched at my sides as I stepped through the doorway, trying to make sense of what the hell was going on. Grayson's pack members were scattered everywhere, lounging like they didn’t have a care in the world. Some leaned against walls with drinks in hand, others huddled in groups, talking and laughing like life was perfect. The smell of roasted meat and spilled wine hung heavy in the air, turning my stomach. What in the actual hell? Did they win a lottery I didn’t know about? I pushed further into the room, my boots thudding against the hardwood floor. My jaw tightened with every step. Something about this scene was off. Wrong. Celebrations like this didn’t belong here, not with everything that had happened lately. And then I

    ~SophiaI stood rooted to the spot, staring at Ralph as his words echoed in my mind. My fists clenched, and my jaw tightened as the rage simmered beneath my skin. How dare he speak to me like that? How dare he look down on me—on our future—as though it was nothing but a joke?I turned on my heel and stormed out of the packhouse, slamming the door behind me with enough force to rattle the windows.The night greeted me with a chill that sent shivers down my spine. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the dense forest that surrounded the packhouse. The wind whispered through the trees, rustling the leaves as though mocking me. My long dress fluttered in the breeze, and I clutched my pregnant belly protectively.“I’ll do whatever it takes,” I muttered through clenched teeth. “Whatever it takes to make sure you marry me, Ralph. You don’t have a choice in this. You hear me? You don’t.”My hand drifted to my belly, tracing its curve with trembling fingers. The life growi

    ~OtsanaI paced around the room in my nightdress, the soft fabric brushing against my skin as the chill of the night seeped in. The air was heavy with silence, broken only by the occasional crackling of the fireplace. My eyes flickered to the clock on the wall. He should’ve been here by now. I walked to the mirror, pausing to examine myself. My fingers brushed my cheek as I leaned in, hoping the days I spent in the dungeon hadn’t dulled my appearance. My skin looked pale, and faint shadows rimmed my eyes, but I wasn’t completely unrecognizable. “You’re still you,” I whispered, attempting a smile. “Ralph will still see you.”A sudden noise startled me—a soft creak from the door. My heart leaped into my throat. Ralph! My lips curled into a smile, and I spun toward the door, smoothing my hair quickly. “Finally,” I murmured, my heart racing with anticipation. I glanced back at the mirror, adjusting the thin strap of my nightdress. I wanted to look perfect for him, even if exhaustion

    ~Otsana The cool night air brushed against my skin as I lay on Ralph's chest, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat a soothing melody against my ear. His arm rested around me, holding me close, while we both gazed out of the large window in his room. The full moon hung high in the sky, its silvery light streaming into the room, wrapping us in its ethereal glow. "It feels like it's watching us," I murmured, my fingers idly tracing circles on his chest. Ralph chuckled softly, his hand brushing through my hair. "The moon?" "Yes," I said with a smile, lifting my head slightly to meet his eyes. "Almost like it's giving us its blessing." He smiled back, his eyes warm and tender. "If it is, I’ll take it. We could use all the blessings we can get." For a moment, we just stayed like that, wrapped in each other’s warmth, basking in the glow of the moon. Then Ralph shifted slightly, a mischievous grin creeping onto his face. "You know," he began, his voice teasing, "I don’t think

    ~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

    ~OtsanaThe garden was peaceful, a sharp contrast to the storm raging in my mind. My feet dragged me along the stone path, the soft crunch of gravel beneath me echoing louder than it should. Noah’s words played on a loop, haunting me. Abort the baby. The phrase cut deeper every time I thought of it. I paused and placed my hand protectively over my belly. “No,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “No matter what, I will protect you.” My hand lingered, and I could almost feel the faintest flutter from within, as if the baby was agreeing with me. A weak smile formed on my lips. “Ralph,” I murmured, tears streaming down my face. “We have a bundle of joy now. Where are you? Come save us.” The plea hung in the air, but the silence that followed felt suffocating. Reality crashed down on me—I was alone. The mansion’s security was tight. Even if Ralph somehow managed to get here, how would he break in? How would he get to me and take us away? I sank onto the edge of a stone bench, the weight o

    ~NoahWe sat in the doctor’s office, a quiet tension in the air. I leaned back in my chair, keeping my face calm, though my mind was anything but calm. Otsana sat beside me, stiff as a statue, her hands trembling on her lap. She refused to look at me. I didn’t blame her; this entire situation had spiraled into something neither of us wanted.The doctor, a tall man with glasses perched precariously on his nose, finally entered, flipping through a file. He looked up with a smile. “Ah, Your Majesty,” he said, nodding at me respectfully. “Congratulations are in order.”My brows furrowed. “Congratulations?”The doctor gestured toward Otsana with a warm smile. “Yes, King Noah. Your queen to be is pregnant. Approximately ten weeks along. You must be very pleased.”I froze. The words hit me like a punch to the gut. Pregnant? I forced myself to nod, offering a tight smile. “Yes, of course. It’s…” My throat felt dry. “Wonderful news.”Beside me, Otsana shrank into her seat. Her face was pale, h

    ~OtsanaSitting at the long, polished mahogany dining table, I stared down at my plate. Roast chicken, mashed potatoes, and a vibrant assortment of steamed vegetables were arranged neatly, but I had no appetite. Across from me sat Noah, his piercing eyes fixed on me as he ate in silence. I could feel the weight of his gaze, but he hadn’t spoken a word to me since we sat down.The tension between us was noticeable, lingering like a storm cloud. After what had happened between us—his sudden Nate oull, the forceful way he brought me here—I knew he was struggling to bridge the silence, but I didn’t intend to make it easy for him.Noah’s fork clinked against his plate as he set it down. He gestured to one of the chefs standing nearby. “Bring more food,” he ordered. “She needs energy for the mating ceremony ritual tomorrow.”I froze, my fork halfway to my mouth. “What mating ceremony?” My voice was sharp, my heart hammering in my chest.He leaned back in his chair, folding his arms as if th

    ~RalphThe knock on the door was sharp and insistent, jolting me out of my brooding. I turned sharply, already irritated. “Who is it?” I barked, my voice carrying the edge of frustration that had been simmering all day.“It’s Lilith,” came the soft reply from the other side of the door.I froze. Lilith? I hadn’t seen her in dsys, not since the debacle with Grayson. What the hell was she doing here? I yanked the door open, and there she stood, a shadow of the woman I once knew. She had lost so much weight; her once-bright eyes now seemed dimmed with exhaustion. “Can I come in?” she asked softly, her voice almost timid. It was a far cry from the fiery woman I remembered.I nodded stiffly. “Sure.”She stepped inside, and I couldn’t help but stare as she walked past me. Her frame was frail, her movements careful, as if she feared breaking. She made her way to the sofa and sat down, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. She took a deep breath before speaking.“I know you’re surprised to s

    ~RalphIt had been seven days since Otsana disappeared. Seven excruciatingly long days. I kept replaying the last moments I saw her, hoping for a clue, something I’d missed. Each passing second felt like a failure. The guilt gnawed at me like a ravenous beast. Now, driving back to the Greyhound Pack after helping Jasper secure the Silverwaters Pack, my patience was wearing thinner than ever. The car hummed softly as it sped down the winding forest road. Jasper, seated next to me, had been trying to strike up a conversation for the past twenty minutes, his voice grating against my already frayed nerves. “Ralph, I appreciate you stepping in back there,” he said cautiously, testing the waters. “I couldn’t have claimed Silverwaters pack without you.” I didn’t respond, my eyes fixed on the road ahead. He tried again. “It’s good to see you in action, you know. Reminded me of the old days, back when—” “Stop,” I snapped, cutting him off mid-sentence. My hands tightened around the st

    ~OtsanaThe mate bond between us was undeniable, pulling me toward him with a force I could hardly resist. But my love for Ralph, my commitment to him, held me back.I quickly broke free from him, and gathered my clothes, my hands trembling as I dressed. "Noah, you need to leave," I said, my voice shaky but firm. "We can't do this."Noah's eyes searched mine, a mixture of longing and regret. "I'm sorry, Otsana," he murmured, standing up from the bed and dressing up. "I didn't mean to overstep."I avoided his gaze, clutching my clothes to my chest as if they could shield me from the whirlwind of emotions inside me. "Please, just go," I whispered.He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, turning to leave. As the door closed behind him, the weight of what had just transpired crashed over me. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I sank onto the bed, sobbing uncontrollably.Ebony, my wolf, stirred within me. "Why did you push him away?" she asked, her voice filled with confusion. "We both felt t

    ~NoahThe moment Otsana stormed out of the garden, I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. My heart felt like it had been split in two. How could she reject me like that, especially after the connection we just shared? My wolf, Fridolf, was restless, pacing in my head like a caged animal. "We can't let her go, Noah. She belongs to us," he growled, his voice edged with desperation. "Not now, Fridolf," I replied sharply, trying to keep my composure. "Now is the perfect time! Did you see her? Ebony wants me as much as I want her. You’re being ridiculous." Fridolf was in heat, and his longing for Ebony was making him impossible to reason with. I tried to calm him, but he wouldn’t stop. "You’re ruining this. Calm down, Fridolf! She’s not ready. I won’t scare her off," I said, trying to walk away from the pull I felt toward her. But Fridolf wasn’t having it.
