~Sophia

I 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

    ~RalphThe moonlight filtered through the window, casting a faint silver glow over the room. My mind was a whirlwind, thoughts colliding like waves in a storm. A day—just one day—before my wedding to Sophia, and here I was, making plans to send the woman I loved away. Otsana sat across from me, her eyes red from crying, yet defiant as ever. Her strength amazed me, even now. She deserved so much more than the chaos I had brought into her life. But this was the only way to protect her, even if it broke us both. “I’ve been thinking,” I began, my voice low and measured, careful not to betray the conflict raging inside me. “You need to leave the pack, Otsana.” Her breath hitched, and I saw the tears forming in her eyes again. “Leave?” she whispered, her voice trembling. “I’ll take you to Noah , the Lycan King,” I continued, forcing the words out. Just saying his name made my blood boil, but I knew it was the safest option. “He’s your fated mate. He wouldn’t hurt you, and Jasper wou

    ~NoahThe door to my room burst open, slamming against the wall with a loud bang. I didn’t need to look up to know who it was. Only one person in this entire estate would dare enter my room unannounced. Dara.“Noah!” she snapped, striding into the room as if she owned it. Her golden hair was perfectly coiffed, her makeup flawless, and her tailored dress screamed wealth and entitlement. But all of it was lost on me. She was the last person I wanted to deal with right now.I leaned back in my chair, my fingers stilling on the document I’d been reading. Slowly, I raised my gaze to meet hers. “Dara,” I said flatly. “To what do I owe this intrusion?”Her eyes narrowed, and she placed her hands on her hips, the picture of indignation. “Intrusion? Really? You’ve been ignoring me for weeks, Noah. Weeks. You haven’t returned my calls, you’ve ignored my messages, and now you’ve stopped taking my parents’ calls too. What is going on?”I sighed, closing the folder in front of me and setting it as

    RalphStepping out of my room with Otsana felt like crossing into a war zone, except this time, it wasn’t swords or claws that were the weapons, but the weight of countless eyes. Otsana's hand was trembling in mine as we walked down the hallway, her heart thundering in her chest. She tried to mask her fear, but I could feel it in the way her fingers clung to me like I was her lifeline. She whispered, almost to herself, “Do you think Jasper will come for me again? Or Grayson?” The mention of those names made my jaw tighten, but I forced a calm tone. “No one will touch you while I’m here. I swear it.” She nodded, taking a deep breath, but her eyes darted around nervously. As we stepped into the open courtyard, gasps echoed through the pack. People stopped in their tracks, their mouths agape as they stared at her. Whispers rippled through the crowd like wildfire. “She’s alive?” “We thought she was dead…” “Is that… Otsana?” Her steps faltered, and I squeezed her hand to keep

    ~RalphI stood there, staring at Grayson, my anger bubbling beneath the surface. I didn’t trust him, not one bit, and the uncertainty gnawed at me. Why was he really here? Was he going to lecture me about my wedding with Sophia tomorrow? Or worse, was this some kind of trap?A laugh slipped out, almost involuntarily. I didn’t care about his games. If he thought he could rattle me, he had another thing coming. They were in for a surprise. “Give me a sec,” I muttered, not waiting for a response. I turned on my heel and headed inside, my mind racing with possibilities. Inside, I found Otsana standing near the door, her brow furrowed with concern. Her eyes met mine, wide with worry, and I could feel the tension in the air. She knew something was off, just like I did. I softened my expression for a moment, taking a step toward her. “Otsana, lock the door when I step out. Don’t open it for anyone,” I said, my voice low and steady, trying to keep the anxiety I felt from showing.She looke

    ~OtsanaThe room was quiet except for the soft rustle of fabric as I adjusted the skirt of the dress Ralph had bought for me. It felt strange to wear something so extravagant, so unlike anything I’d chosen for myself. The material was luxurious, flowing like water between my fingers, but the design was impractical for someone like me. I wasn’t used to wearing something that demanded attention.My hands shook as I fumbled with the back of the dress. The tiny hooks were impossible to fasten alone, and I felt a flare of frustration at Ralph for putting me in this position."Dress pretty," he had said. "Like a queen or a princess."Those were his words before he left for his wedding to Sophia. My stomach twisted at the thought. He’d promised me it wouldn’t happen, that he had a plan to stop it. But he hadn’t told me what that plan was, and I was left wondering how far he’d go to break the agreement with Grayson. The man was dangerous, and I had no doubt he’d burn the entire pack to the gr

    ~RalphThe courtyard was suffused with a golden glow from the lanterns strung across the towering oaks. Every inch of the space screamed celebration, from the rows of white chairs adorned with garlands to the lavish buffet tables groaning under the weight of every delicacy imaginable. The scent of roasted venison mingled with the earthy aroma of the forest, a stark reminder of the traditions I detested. This wasn’t just a wedding; it was a statement, a spectacle designed to broadcast power and unity. My power. But I had no intention of letting it end the way they all hoped.My heart raced as I took my place near the altar. The ceremonial arch loomed ahead, an intricate weave of silver and gold ribbons that framed the full moon perfectly. It would have been beautiful if it weren’t a symbol of my impending doom. I smoothed the lapels of my jacket, trying to keep my breathing steady. Everything hinged on tonight.“Didn’t think you’d show, Ralph.” Grayson’s voice slid into my ear like an

    ~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.

    ~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.
