I was discharged from the hospital after two days of rest and care. As I stepped out of the hospital room, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. The bruises on my skin had faded away and I felt much stronger than before. My parents were by my side, helping me navigate down the hallway toward the exit.As we walked towards the reception, I was greeted with a sea of familiar faces from the pack who clamored to say hello and ask about my well-being. My father, being the well-respected Alpha that he was, took his time speaking to each one of them, taking the time to respond to them.After what seemed like an eternity, we finally made it outside the hospital and into the bright sunshine. The warmth on my skin felt good and I took a deep breath, feeling thankful to be out of the hospital room. My parents led me towards the car and I gingerly took my seat, the journey home was a quiet one with my parents giving me space to rest.We arrived home and my parents helped me up to my room. I was

I was sitting in the conference room with my IT team, eagerly testing the new software application we had been working on for months.As the tests began, my team was silent, their eyes fixed on the screens in front of them as they meticulously checked every line of code.

I felt heavy with guilt as I sat in my room, staring at the blank page in front of me. I couldn't shake the feeling that I had let Clarissa down, that I had somehow failed her. My thoughts kept drifting to the moment when I would have to tell her the truth about what had happened and I felt like a weight was bearing down on me, crushing me with its pressure.I tried to push the thoughts away and focus on my drawing, but it was no use. The thought of losing her made me feel sick to my stomach.My dad didn't see anything wrong in what he had done and my mum sided with my dad."Jalen, you're acting so irrationally," my dad said, "I don't understand why you're so against this. You need to start thinking about the pack and your future as our king Marrying Malory would secure your spot.""But I have marked Clarissa and I love her," I yelled angrily, "You can't force me to marry someone else just for the sake of the pack.""Love? What do you know about love?" my mum interjected with a scof

Today was my 24th birthday and although it was supposed to be a day filled with celebration, I couldn't shake off the feeling of dread that had settled in my chest. As a female in my pack, tradition dictated that I must be married before I turn 25. The pressure to make decisions about my future was weighing heavy on my mind.I was jolted awake by the melodic chirping of birds outside my window. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and sat up in bed, taking in a deep breath in an attempt to calm my racing thoughts. Suddenly, the door to my room creaked open and my mother appeared, dressed in her favorite night robe."Happy birthday, Clarissa," she said with a warm smile, as she approached my bed holding a small, intricately wrapped box. I tore off the pink paper to reveal a pair of stunning diamond earrings nestled inside."Thank you, Mum," I said, trying my best to sound grateful. But she could see right through me, as mothers often do."Come on, I expected a bit more excitement," she said

The car engine roared to life as I quickly jumped into the back seat. My heart was racing, I couldn't believe I was leaving everything behind for Jalen. My bodyguard looked at me through the rearview mirror with a serious expression. Bryon sat beside me, his hand gently placed on my shoulder, "Rissa, are you sure about this?" He asked in a soft voice. I took a deep breath and nodded, "Jalen needs me, and I need to be there for him."The car accelerated down the road, the wind blowing through my hair. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. The car ride was long and quiet and we got to the Lycan border. "Jeez, these guards are fierce," Bryon said to me. The car rolled to a stop and a row of imposing figures stood at attention, their eyes focusedon our vehicle. They were all dressed in black, and their expressions were stern and unwelcoming.My bodyguard stepped out of the car and approached the guards, "We are here to see Jalen," he announced.The guards frowned angrily and on

The morning of my dad's funeral was a somber one. The sun had just begun to break over the mournful hills, casting a pale glow over the world that seemed to reflect the mood of everyone who was gathered there. It was a rainy morning, with fat drops of water tapping against the windows of the funeral home, adding to the sense of sorrow that seemed to hang over the entire world.Nobody felt like eating breakfast that morning, despite the spread that had been laid out for us. The food was unappetizing, and nobody had the heart to touch it. Instead, we all sat in silence, lost in our thoughts and grieving the loss of my father.As I passed through my dad's study, I couldn't believe he was dead. The room was exactly as he had left it, and I could almost imagine him sitting behind his desk, working on one of his projects. But then reality would hit, and I would remember that he was gone and that he would never return.I found myself thinking about all the unresolved issues I had with my dad

I stepped outside and the tension was palpable. Jalen, Cade, and Jaela were huddled together in a hushed conversation, their body language radiating unease. I approached them, my instincts telling me that something was off."What are you guys talking about?" I asked, trying to keep my voice casual.Jalen shot me a fake smile. "Nothing," he lied, but I could tell he was hiding something.Determined to get to the bottom of it, I decided to bide my time. I retreated to the kitchen where I spent hours working on my laptop, replying to emails, and updating my company's website. Exhausted, I reached for the orange juice and poured myself a glass.Just as I took a sip, Jalen's mum stormed into the room, dressed in black, her face contorted with anger. "How dare you use my husband's cup?" she snapped at me, her voice echoing through the room.I apologized, feeling my face flush with embarrassment, and quickly rinsed out the glass. "I'm sorry," I said, trying to make peace. "I've tried to mak

All day, I avoided Jalen. At night, I lay on the bed, my mind racing with emotions. Jalen was lying next to me, his breathing slow and steady. Tension hung in the air between us, so thick I felt like I could reach out and touch it. I sighed my heart heavy with guilt.His dad's death didn't give him the right to snap at me as he did earlier when I was on the phone with Genevieve. I turned to face him, my anger fading into a soft sadness.He was lying on his back, his lips slightly parted. His dark hair was messy, giving him a rugged look. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for not understanding him. I resolved to apologize to him in the morning, hoping it would help alleviate the tension between us.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. I slowly let out my breath and felt my body relax, finally drifting off to sleep.The next morning, I woke up to find Jalen already gone from bed. I rubbed my eyes and sat up, taking a deep breath before gett
