Ella sat in her car at the parking lot outside her home, lost in thought as she stared at her reflection in the rearview mirror. Her wolf, Lila, stirred inside her.

"Derek is still our mate," Lila whispered, her tone a mixture of hurt and hope. "He didn’t accept our rejection.”

Ella closed her eyes, feeling the familiar stab of grief. Memories from the past came flooding back, and her voice trembled as she responded, "If Derek had accepted me as his Luna… our pup would still be alive." Her words were soaked with bitterness, the pain of her loss still fresh, even after all these years.

Lila whimpered softly inside Ella's mind, sharing in the sorrow. "But he didn’t, Ella. Maybe there’s still a reason why we haven’t fully severed that bond.”

Ella shook her head, refusing to listen to her wolf. "No, Lila. It's too late. There’s nothing left between us but ashes.”

Back at the hospital, Alpha Derek paced the hallway, his mind in turmoil after his unexpected encounter with Ella. His assi

    “Doctor South?” Derek echoed, his eyes wide with shock. “You?!”“Yes, I am Doctor South,” Ella said with a small smile, relishing the moment of revelation. She turned to follow Felix inside, leaving Derek and his assistant stunned. They trailed after her, their expressions betraying their disbelief.Inside, Derek's gaze shifted around the room, landing on a portrait of Ella and Alpha Moore. In the image, Moore’s arms were wrapped possessively around Ella as they both smiled contentedly. An uncontrollable surge of jealousy bubbled up inside Derek as he watched Ella take a seat beside Moore, her hand resting on his lap while Moore draped an arm across her shoulders protectively.“I’m Alpha Moore,” Moore spoke first, his voice laced with subtle amusement. “I believe you’ve already met my Luna, Dr. South. Please, have a seat.”Derek, his hands buried in his pockets, stood defiantly as he glared at him, the jealousy bubbling beneath his cool facade. "I’m simply surprised to see that a She-

    Derek stood stunned for a second as he watched her walk away. Derek, however, wasn’t about to let her go that easily. He followed her out, his voice rising as he called after her. "I mean it, Ella! Just give us a chance. Please, hear me out!" Ella stopped in her tracks, her hands clenching into fists as she fought to keep her composure. She spun around to face him, her eyes blazing with anger. "A chance?! What happened to the first chance you had? Please stop using your fake affections!" she shouted, her voice trembling with barely contained fury. "Just get to the point!" ”What exactly do you want from me Alpha Derek?” Derek’s jaw tightened, his fists clenching by his sides. He took a deep breath, feeling the weight of her anger press against him like a storm. "I do care, Ella. More than you know. But right now…my people are suffering, and I don’t have any other options. I came to you because I know you have the power to help them.” A bitter laugh escaped Ella’s lips as she shook

    After I left Ella's home, I couldn’t bring myself to head back to the Moonstone Pack—not without taking her along. The thought of leaving her behind, married to another man, was unbearable. The memory of how close they were gnawed at me, twisting my gut. Clenching my hands into fists, I growled low in my throat. "No, she’s mine," I muttered, gritting my teeth. "She can’t belong to another." ‘It’s your fault,’ Leo snarled in my head, his anger boiling beneath the surface. I sighed, knowing what was coming. "Why didn’t you accept her as our Luna?!" Leo’s voice was thick with rage. "Now you’ve driven her into the arms of another man!" His words stung, the truth piercing deep, and it took everything in me to calm him down. 'We won’t leave without our mate!' Leo insisted, his voice firm with resolve. 'We searched everywhere for her, and the Moon Goddess finally brought us back to her. She’s still ours! We can’t repeat the mistake from five years ago!' And he was right. Five years of r

    Derek paced the hallway of the Northern Pack hospital, his patience wearing thin. He had been waiting for Ella for what seemed like hours as she finished her rounds. The sterile smell of antiseptic hung in the air, and the sound of soft footsteps echoed through the nearly deserted hallway. He hated hospitals—the coldness, the desperation that lingered in the air. But for her, he would wait a lifetime. Finally, the door to one of the patient wards opened, and Ella walked out, looking completely exhausted. Her hair was slightly disheveled, and the dark circles under her eyes only made her look more worn out. She rubbed her neck absentmindedly, clearly lost in thought. "It doesn’t help that you check on me every day, Alpha Derek," Ella said, her tone unconcerned as she spotted him waiting. Derek’s lips curved slightly. "You look exhausted," he replied, ignoring her clear annoyance. "Can we discuss things over dinner? I already booked a place, and I’m sure you’ll love it." Ella scoffed

    Ella walked into Alpha Moore’s office, the familiar scent of leather and aged wood welcoming her. As usual, he sat behind his large mahogany desk, composed and focused on a document in his hands. His face, though calm, had a glimmer of intensity in his eyes as he read. Without thinking, Ella moved toward him, her exhaustion weighing her down. She leaned slightly against the edge of his desk, seeking comfort in his steady presence. “A patient lost his wolf today,” Ella said softly, her voice laced with frustration. “I don't know how I could have helped him. I…” Alpha Moore’s eyes softened as he looked up at her, gently placing his palm over her hand. His touch was warm, reasurring her. “We’ll sort that out later, my dear,” he said in a soothing tone, cutting her off. “Right now, we have a more urgent matter to deal with.” Ella raised an eyebrow in question, her attention shifting as Moore slid a letter across the desk toward her, its edges slightly crumpled from his earlier handling.

    Alpha Moore had decided to throw a lavish welcome party for Alpha Derek, not because he wanted to, but he has to. It's their tradition to respect another Alpha who came into their pack and Alpha Derek had come seeking help. The hall was filled with a sense of grandeur and celebration. The main ballroom of the Northern Pack’s grand hall was meticulously decorated. Crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceilings, casting a soft, golden glow over the room. Velvet drapes in deep burgundy and royal blue adorned the walls, giving the place a regal yet warm atmosphere. Round tables covered with white linen and gold-trimmed napkins were spread around, each adorned with tall floral centerpieces of roses and lilies. The sweet scent of the flowers mixed with the enticing aroma of gourmet food being served by the staff. Pack members dressed in their finest, mingled with guests from neighboring packs. The men were in sharp suits and tuxedos, while the women glittered in gowns of silk and lace. S

    The hall was filled with wolves, pack members, and guests, but none of it mattered. None of it. My focus had been razor-sharp all night. From the moment I entered the party Alpha Moore had thrown in my honor, I knew this was going to be more than just a welcome. This was a test—a game of dominance.I was here for one reason only: her. Ella.From the corner of my eye, I spotted her as soon as she walked in, and it was as though the air had been knocked out of my lungs. My heart slammed against my chest, and for a second, I couldn’t breathe. The world around me blurred, the voices, the music, the clinking of glasses—all of it faded into the background.She entered the hall like a vision, stealing the attention of every male wolf in the room. My chest tightened. I hated the way they looked at her, the way their gazes followed her every step. I had to fight back the possessive growl threatening to spill out.She wore a stunning midnight blue dress that hugged every curve of her body, and

    Derek stormed out of Moore's presence because he didn't know what he would do if he stayed another minute. The tension between them had reached a boiling point, and his wolf Leo was dangerously close to taking over. His mind replayed the words that Moore had smugly thrown at him, “Marked or unmarked, I have tasted every part of her body.” His chest tightened with rage, the possessiveness clawing at his insides. He needed to find Ella. Now. His eyes scanned the banquet hall, flickering past the guests and decorations, until they finally landed on her. She was standing gracefully, smiling at one of the guests, her aura of elegance and beauty undeniable. "There she is," Leo growled, his voice filled with hunger and impatience. Without hesitating, Derek started toward her, his strong strides cutting through the crowd. His gaze never left her, the sound of his heartbeat hammering in his ears. The anger he felt toward Moore still burned in his chest, mixing with his overwhelming desire

It's quite unfortunate he couldn't kill her yet, but he would use her to show to Valen what it meant to be hurt.He didn’t want to underestimate her powers. Though she was surrounded with silver, he still made sure she wasn't fed so she would be too weak to resist what he intended to do.Murmurs and whispers of why Valen hadn't arrived yet, despite his mate being captured, were already spreading amongst his allies and he knew he needed to act fast before their impatience ruins his plans.He watched as Ella slowly regained consciousness.“Finally you're awake” Sebastian chuckled dryly.Ella slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurry at first, she shook her head to regain some clarity.

    A heavy silence immediately filled the room after Alpha Kael's outburst.Derek's eyes narrowed slightly as looks at Maxwell, waiting for his reaction. He knew Kael had struck a nerve.Maxwell didn't disappoint, but one thing he didn't know was that Alpha Kael wasn't just an ordinary werewolf or a ‘mutt’ as he just called them.His fingers twitched, his sharp fangs peeking out as his eyes darkened. The anger in his gaze was unmistakable. Then, without warning, he charged at Kael, his speed as fast as lightening but dark.He aimed for Kael's throat, but Kael had seen so many battles to be caught off guard. Before Maxwell could strike, Kael twisted his body slightly and slammed his elbow into Maxwell’s side. The force sent the vampire stumbling back, his cloak fluttering as he steadied himself.Maxwell's eyes widened in shock. His jaw tightened. He was fast—faster than some vampires, faster than most creatures. But speed meant nothing if your enemy could predict your moves.Kael smirked

    Valen stomped into his office, slamming the door heavily behind him. Dorian was lucky enough not to be hit by the door as he followed behind Valen.“Useless!” Valen muttered, rubbing his hands against his hair and jaw.Dorian stood at a safe distance trembling slightly. He was doing it again, releasing that powerful aura that brings people to their knees.Clearly Valen was so mad, he has unleashed this aura just twice. This was only the second time Valen had ever let his emotions slip so much that his power surged uncontrollably—the first time was when Ella came into his life and now that she had disappeared.Dorian could see from his clenched fist that he was fighting so hard to control it. His crimson eyes were now a darker shade of red.“Did she just vanish into thin air? Are you trying to tell me there are no leads? No clues?” Valen asked, his voice filled with rage.Dorian stood speechless, he swallowed hard, his throat dry. He had no answer that wouldn't further enrage Valen. He

    “I will be stopping by briefly in Devil's City, target was last seen nearby.”Derek stared absentmindedly at the text he had just received from Alpha Kael.His fingers tightened on the phone. Kevin was last seen somewhere nearby, and Drake had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, was there a connection? Does Kevin have a hand in this? But how did he even know where to find Ella?His mind immediately recalled when he had gone to rescue Alpha Moore and had sought Kevin's help to rescue Doctor South. Did he discover Ella and Doctor South were the same person? or Is this his way of taking revenge on Doctor South?“Shit! Shit! Shit!” Derek muttered angrily, stamping his feet on the ground. One day has passed since Ella was kidnapped—still no news. Valen had sent out news to various clans concerning his mate's disappearance. From the way everything is going, a war might spring out soon. Valen was hardly at the manor, he had been following one lead and another but still nothing. It was just a

    Ella gasped as Sebastian's image came into clear view.“You?” You're the mastermind behind all this?” Ella glared at him angrilySebastian chuckled darkly. “Easy werewolf, I know you want to tear me apart right now but unfortunately…” he clicked his tongue, his smirk deepening “you're surrounded by your weakness, you can't shift and even my dear brother won't be here to save you.”Ella knew he was right but unlike before when she initially lost Lila, she wasn't scared. Her jaw tightened, eyes burning with pure hatred as she spat directly onto his face.“Fuck you”Silence.Drake's eyes almost popped out from its socket. How could she be bold? Did she just… spit on Lord Sebastian?Sebastian was momentarily stunned, he didn't expect that. He scoffed as he slowly wiped off his face.“Feisty huh? I like that” he crouched down and grabbed her chin. “It just makes me anticipate having more of your blood running through my veins” he roughly let go of her chin, causing her head to tilt.Ella w

    Valen slowly stirred awake, his body was heavy with exhaustion. His arm instinctively reached out, searching for the warmth beside him. But all he felt was the coolness of the sheets. His brows furrowed, memories of last night came crashing on him, and his eyes snapped open. He turned but found only Derek, sprawled on his stomach, his bare back exposed, his breathing deep and steady. But aside from him, Ella was gone. Panic surged in his chest as he abruptly stood up.The incense, having burnt out, he was back to his senses. He puts on his clothes quickly as his mind races. How could he have acted out of proportion last night? Where's Ella? Did they hurt her?.It was as if something had taken over his very being last night.Her scent wasn't fresh, like she didn't even sleep here last night. What's that supposed to mean?With powerful strides, he walked towards the door and yanked it open, only to see the guards at the door. A look of relief washed over him. If they had been guarding

    “Arrrrgh” Ella groaned, holding the back of her head as she slowly stirred awake. She felt a sharp pounding headache and her body felt unnaturally heavy as though a thousand chains were weighing her down.Her thick lashes fluttered as she tried hard to regain focus, her vision was blurry and her thoughts foggy.Where was she?She tried sitting up, but the ache from her body made her collapse back on the floor, her throat felt dry as if she hadn't spoken in hours.

The last thing she remembered was leaving Devil's City with—Drake.Her heart skipped immediately. Drake. Where was he?

    Valen laid on the bed, Ella held his cock with both of her hands. She gasped at the size. Half the size of his cock was big enough to hit the back of her throat.Derek placed two pillows underneath her stomach, raising her ass up in the air. He spanked her ass cheeks and went ahead to spread them, revealing her anus. In an animalistic manner, he pressed his bicse against her anus and took a deep breath. Leo was raving mad from her scent and arousal.“Mmmm…Arrrrgh” Ella moaned as Derek started using his tongue to play with her anus. Ella almost bit into Valen's cock as Derek continued to assault her anus with his tongue, but she was able to control herself. Lila was on fire, this was what she had always wanted, but didn't know the pleasure could be this maddening.As the tightness of Ella's anus softened up, Derek rubbed his fingers on his precum and rubbed it on Ella's anus to lubricate it.Ella moaned deeply, arching her back as Derek pushed his middle finger into her ass.

    The scent of something sweet permeated the air. Derek stood and inhaled, wondering what it was. It was not the scent of his mate and neither was it the fragrance of one of her many beauty products."Why does your bedroom smell urm... Nice?" He asked her. Ella whirled around immediately to look at him. She wondered if he had noticed already."I…" she began to explain in a guilty stammer, her voice trembling, as she moved away from Valen who was holding her. Oh shit! She knew they were smart. This might turn out to be a wrong idea after all.She stared at them through the thick curtains of her lashes, not knowing how to respond. Alpha Derek gulped hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. For some reason, the very scene made him shiver in pleasure. It was the same for Valen as well. They both suddenly felt drawn toward her in an unusual way.She has to distract them. Breathing heavily, Ella stepped backwards.
