Adrien stormed back to the pack house, his frustration simmering beneath the surface. The weight of his failure hung heavy on his shoulders, gnawing at his conscience. He retreated into his study, the door closing behind him with an audible thud, shutting out the world and its incessant reminders of his helplessness.For two days, he immersed himself in his thoughts, pouring over maps and strategizing every possible scenario in his quest to find Hera. The isolation of the study mirrored the isolation he felt within his own heart. He shut himself off from the outside world, unwilling to face the sympathetic gazes of his pack members, their whispers of concern trailing in his wake.In the depths of his study, surrounded by books and memories, Adrien became lost in his own internal battle. Doubt gnawed at him, questioning his abilities as an alpha, as a protector. He berated himself for his inability to find Hera, for letting her slip through his fingers. Anger swirled within him, direct
“Listen here you optimistic piece of shit. How about we make an agreement that benefits the both of us?” James proposed.The alpha's words struck Hera with a mixture of dread and cautious curiosity. She cautiously listened as he elaborated on his proposal, a glimmer of hope flickering within her. Perhaps there was a chance for her to find a way out of this nightmare."You see, Hera," he began, his voice laced with a deceptive gentleness, "I can offer you an opportunity to escape the confines of this desolate room. A chance to have a purpose, to serve a greater cause."Hera's eyebrows furrowed as she processed his words. Could it be possible that he was offering her a way to regain some semblance of freedom? Her gaze met his, her eyes searching for any signs of deception."What do you mean?" she inquired cautiously, her voice tinged with skepticism.A smile danced on the Alpha's lips, revealing a hint of triumph. "I want you to be my personal maid," he declared, his eyes glinting with
Hera's eyes widened as she gently and hesitantly stood up from the cold, hard floor, her body trembling with a mix of anticipation and apprehension. Before her stood a woman of formidable stature, her gaze piercing and her expression hardened. Not a word was uttered, yet the air grew heavy with tension.With a voice that carried the weight of authority, the woman bellowed, "Straighten your back, girl! Show some respect in this house! who do you think you are? Stand right!"Hera straightened herself, her spine rigid, as she faced the woman who seemed poised to unleash her fury. The woman approached her with determined strides, her eyes scrutinizing every inch of Hera's being, as if searching for any signs of weakness.In a voice laced with venom, the woman spat out the rules of the house, her words slicing through the air like shards of ice. "In this house, you will obey my every command. You will clean, you will cook, and you will serve without question. Failure to adhere to these rul
The sight before Lisa was both haunting and macabre. Two lifeless bodies lay sprawled on the forest floor, their contorted forms telling a tale of violence and death. The stench of decay hung heavily in the air, assaulting her senses and intensifying her feelings of horror and disgust.She approached cautiously, her steps hesitant, unwilling to disturb the grim tableau before her. The moon's feeble light cast eerie shadows, painting a ghastly portrait of the lifeless figures. Lisa's heart raced, her mind racing to comprehend the ghastly scene unfolding before her eyes.As she drew nearer, a mixture of fear and curiosity fueled her determination to uncover any clues that could lead to the identity of the unfortunate souls. She squinted, desperate to find even a flicker of recognition in their lifeless faces, but they remained strangers in death—silent witnesses to a dark and unknown tragedy.The realization of the danger lurking within the forest sent a shiver down Lisa's spine. Instin
Adrien's behavior, though slurred and muddled, carried an unexpected tenderness that pierced through Lisa's heart. She found herself caught in a paradoxical mix of emotions, torn between the need to break free from his grip and the strange desire to stay, to revel in the closeness that intoxicated moments sometimes brought.As Adrien continued his ramblings, expressing sentiments of affection and adoration, Lisa couldn't help but feel a stirring in her heart. It was as if his drunken state had unleashed a vulnerability within him, allowing him to express emotions that he might otherwise keep hidden. And in that moment, she found herself captivated by the sincerity behind his words."Lisa, you're... you're everything to me," Adrien mumbled, his voice laced with a drunken sincerity. "I never want to be without you. You make my world brighter."Lisa's gaze softened as she looked into his eyes, seeing the flicker of truth amidst the haze of alcohol. Her own heart yearned to reciprocate hi
The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, gently rousing Adrien from his sleep. As he blinked his eyes open, he felt the unmistakable pounding in his head, a painful reminder of the indulgence from the previous night. However, the sight of Lisa, peacefully nestled beside him, stirred a different kind of astonishment within him.“Huh! My head is so heavy and my mind is cloudy as well. But hey…” he said to himself.He stared at her serene countenance, her features softened by the morning light. Slowly, he reached out a hand, his fingers hesitantly tracing the curve of her cheek, marveling at the delicate skin beneath his touch. With gentle precision, he carefully tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her ear, his actions tender and affectionate.In that fleeting moment, Adrien found himself captivated by her beauty, a sight that never failed to stir something deep within him. He whispered to himself, his voice filled with a mixture of awe and admiration, "You’re such a bea
AriezelI stepped out to the living room in a rush to see her struggling to remove her shoes.“Alys?” I called out.She looked like she was prepared to get out of her skin. She didn't notice me, nor answer my call. The closer I came, I could finally see what was wrong.On her cheeks tears shone, with unmistakable tear streaks. And I realized that she was stripping. It hit me too late.“Alys wait!" I called out, but the moment she stripped her last piece of clothing, she was off.I saw her transform into her wolf form, a deep brown wolf before she ran off further into the woods. …Only an hour later, Harriet came back, looking more worn out than I had ever seen her. her defeated look alone halted any questions that I wanted answered.Instead, I remained silent the moment she walked in, plopping over the couch with a sigh. With Alys gone and Harriet defeated, it was evident that none of them were going to do much, if anything- tonight. So burying the questions and worries away, I ins
Lisa was still standing there with her hands crossed over her chests, but adriens silent gaze still bore into her and made her feel like she had to do something real quick.She paced back and forth in the room, frustration etched on her face as she confronted Adrien about his excessive drinking. "Why would you drown yourself in alcohol, Adrien? It's not the solution! We need to stay focused and clear-headed to find Hera," she exclaimed, her voice tinged with a mix of concern and reproach.Adrien sighed heavily, running a hand through his disheveled hair. His eyes met Lisa's, revealing the turmoil within. "You don't understand, Lisa. I couldn't bear the thought of Hera in danger, or worse. The pain of not knowing, of not being able to protect her—it was unbearable," he confessed, his voice laden with a mixture of guilt and vulnerability.Lisa's eyes softened, recognizing the depth of his emotions. She closed the distance between them and placed a gentle hand on his arm. "I know it's ha
The morning sun emerged from its slumber, casting its radiant glow through the delicate lace curtains. Its golden rays danced across the room, painting every corner with a soft and ethereal brilliance. The light embraced the space, infusing it with a tranquil and enchanting aura that seemed to suspend time itself.Adrien's footsteps, light as whispers, carried him closer to the beautiful form of sleeping Lisa. Each step seemed to harmonize with the gentle melody of the morning, as if nature itself conspired to create a moment of tender intimacy. His movements radiated a strong sense of respect and admiration, and were careful not to disturb the delicate peace that had enveloped the room.With a touch as gentle as a butterfly's caress, Adrien brushed aside a stray strand of Lisa's hair that had ventured upon her serene face.“You look even more beautiful sleeping, I’d really watch you all day do only that and never get tired.” He whispered softly.The warmth of his fingertips against h
Adrien drew her closer, and as their bodies pressed together in a delicate embrace, the world around them seemed to fade away. His touch, gentle yet filled with longing, ignited a spark within Lisa that she had thought extinguished. The warmth of his fingers caressing her skin awakened dormant desires, erasing the pain of their fractured connection, if only for a moment.In this intimate dance, their bodies moved in sync, guided by an unspoken understanding of the past they shared. The air crackled with anticipation, each breath a verification to the longing that pulsed between them. The barriers that had once separated them now blurred, their souls yearning for solace in the familiarity of their touch.Amidst this raw vulnerability, Adrien's voice trembled as he uttered apologies, his words laced with a sincerity that resonated deep within Lisa's core.“Listen carefully, Lisa. I swear that everything I did was not in purpose. I really didn’t know what was going on, I was so confused.
In the confines of her room, the familiar surroundings seemed foreign, transformed into a sanctuary tainted by the echoes of their broken trust. Lisa's trembling hand reached for a nearby chair, and she sank into it, seeking support amidst the range of emotions overwhelming her.With each breath she took, the weight of Adrien's betrayal and Hera's deceit seemed to grow heavier, burdening her heart and suffocating her spirit. The once vibrant light within her had dimmed, overshadowed by the pain that radiated from the depths of her being. It felt as if the very essence of her existence had been shattered, leaving behind a void that no words or apologies could fill.Tears streamed down her face, tracing a path of anguish and vulnerability. They were the silent testament to the depth of her pain, expressing what words could not convey. In the solitude of her room, Lisa allowed herself to surrender to the waves of sorrow that crashed upon her, surrendering to the cathartic release of tear
Adrien left the confines of the dungeon, his mind heavy with the weight of Lisa's words. As he sat down for breakfast, his thoughts swirled in a very wild storm of confusion and doubt.“But what if she’s the righteous one? What if she’s actually innocent and being framed by Hera? Not like Hera can’t do something as terrible as that. What’s really going on right now?” He asked himself, lost deep in his own thoughts.The words she had spoken echoed in his mind, challenging his beliefs and questioning the very foundation of his trust.“I’ll make you pay for this!” He remembered her say, her voice high pitched, ringing in his head like an emergency dial.A cloud of uncertainty hung over him as he deliberated on whom to believe. Both Lisa and Hera presented their versions of the truth, each painting a different picture, leaving him lost in a maze of conflicting narratives.The lines between right and wrong blurred, and his mind became a battlefield of conflicting emotions. He now became so
The morning unfolded with a breathtaking display of nature's beauty. Soft hues of orange and pink painted the sky, casting a warm and gentle glow upon the world below.The air carried a crisp freshness, tinged with the promise of a new day. The serenity of the surroundings stood in stark contrast to the turmoil within Lisa's heart.As the first rays of sunlight filtered through the window, Lisa's eyes fluttered open, only to be met by the intense gaze of Adrien.“What?” She shouted, surprised.Startled, she jolted upright, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and anxiety. She instinctively backed away from him, seeking distance from the uncertainty that seemed to surround him.“You demon! What are you looking for here and now? Oh, you want to experience more of my suffering. You sadist!” She said out angrily. Trepidation colored her voice as she questioned his presence in her room, especially at such an early hour.“You’re sure you want to take this the hard way? Come on it’s sti
Tensions flared between Adrien and Hera as he tightly gripped her hand, his anger simmering beneath the surface. His voice grew cold and cutting as he confronted her, demanding an explanation for her actions."Why did you do that? Why the hell will you ever do that to Lisa?" Adrien's voice dripped with accusation, his eyes fixed upon Hera, searching for answers."You crossed a line, Hera. You went too far, let me be frank. You went to the extreme just to humiliate your fellow one on front of everyone… for what? Are you happy now? " he rapped continuously, his blood boiling by every second passing by.Confusion etched across Hera's face as she struggled to comprehend his sudden change in demeanor. She retorted, her voice tinged with defensiveness,"And what about you? You ordered the guards to take her away. Don't try to shift the blame onto me when you played your part. It’s obvious you also don’t like her, and same goes for me. Let’s just put her where she belongs." She said in reply
Adrien's sudden transformation from the loving mate to a terrifying stranger sent shivers down Lisa's spine, and thorns into her little fragile heart.His voice boomed through the room as he suddenly lashed out at her with disrespectful words, tearing down the connection they once had.“Your worthless piece of crap!” He cursed.“I thought you were worthy of the dress, now look what you’ve done… pushed my reputation to the mud. You’ve sent everything crumbling. You’re such a terrible person if I’ll be honest.” He continued, calling her all sorts of names, cursing and insulting her without minding what connection or relationship they ever had together.The pain in her heart intensified with each hurtful remark, and she felt like she was crumbling under the weight of his accusations."You're nothing but a liar! I shouldn’t have even picked you up that first time, I regret my actions" Adrien yelled, his face contorted with anger."I can't believe I trusted you with my mother's dress. You'
The tension in the throne hall escalated as Hera called upon a maid to support her claims.“Tina! Please show your face.” Hera yelled.Tina was the maid Hera had planned to use as her witness, and so she called her forth to come testify.The maid stepped forward and nervously said, "Yes, I saw Lisa selling the dress and receiving money from someone I didn't recognize."Feeling cornered, Lisa's eyes welled up with tears as she fought to defend herself."Adrien, you know how manipulative Hera can be! She could have easily coerced the maid into lying for her. Please believe me! I know nothing about any of these, absolutely nothing!" She cried.Adrien's heart was torn as he struggled to make sense of the conflicting stories. He looked at Lisa, then at Hera, and back again. His mind was in turmoil, not knowing who to trust or what to believe.“Okay but what the fuck exactly is going on here? No doubt Lisa is obviously the bad person. How dare her sell the dress I entrusted to her? Just for
The next morning, the world seemed to awaken in harmony with the sun rising, painting the sky with hues of pink and gold. The gentle breeze carried the sweet scent of flowers, and the birds' songs filled the air with melodies.Adrien woke up, feeling determined to face the day ahead.“Yet, another day. Just how lucky am I to be awake.” He gladly glorified.He knew he had to push aside the turmoil in his heart and focus on his responsibilities as the pack leader. With a resolute spirit, he went to his room to get ready, hoping to find some semblance of peace amidst the chaos within him.As he entered the room, he saw Hera standing there, but she remained silent.“Huh… is anything the matter? Hera?” Adrien asked.Lisa looked up at him neither smiling nor frowning , rather blank, and she said nothing in response. This wasn’t so respectful to Adrien and that got to him a bit, kicking away all the sweetness that might remain running in his cold bloody veins.“You can talk or simply get out
