Curled up in a warm blanket, Sibyl blushed and smiled like a high school girl as she read Keshton’s message: “Good morning, I will be there to pick you up in an hour.”
For the past three days, she had woken up to one of his lovely messages, always ending with him telling her he was coming to see her. No matter how much she wanted to take it lightly, it played with her heart. It was as if they were dating.
Sibyl shyly buried her face in her pillow. Since she had not responded to his confession the thing between them could not be called dating but Keshton had been treating her more like his girlfriend.
Sibyl got off the bed and stepped into the shower. She didn't know how or when it started, but he would pick her up and drop her off at home daily. She had asked him not to postpone his business affairs because of her, but he never listened. Sometimes he would even show up during her lunch break, taking her for a meal and a walk where they talked about a lot of thin
Sibyl raised her hand and gently placed it on his cheek to calm his wolf down, with Zara making a successful connection with him. She looked deeper into his eyes, her heart skipping a beat. His priorities were written all over his face, and his commitment was made evident by his actions. For the first time in her life, she found herself believing in a man.“Calm down,” she whispered, grazing her thumb on his cheek. “Just look at me,” she murmured, closing her eyes as her lips touched his.Keshton instantly regained control over his wolf, his amber eyes widening at the feeling of Sibyl’s soft, rosy lips initiating a kiss for the first time. It had always been him kissing her, dominating and claiming her. And now, the woman who had awakened all his dead emotions and desires was kissing him. The woman he could no longer let go.“I have always looked at you. If only you knew from the beginning,” Keshton confessed, kissing Sibyl back.Sibyl's whole being shook
In the evening at Sibyl's apartment, the scene was one of unexpected delight. Sibyl stood by the kitchen counter with freshly prepared dishes, while Keshton stood by the small dining table with a large box of food in his hands.“I didn't know you were bringing food,” Sibyl said, her voice a mix of surprise and confusion.“And I didn't know you could cook,” Keshton replied, eyeing the bowls in her hand with great surprise.They looked at each other in silence, their surprise hanging in the air for a moment before they broke into a fit of laughter. The realization that they had both wanted to surprise each other had led to this amusing situation.“I guess we have plenty of food now,” Keshton chuckled, setting the box down on the table.Sibyl nodded, her eyes sparkling with amusement. “What did you buy?” Sibyl giggled, placing the food bowl on the dining table.“Crab cakes, prime rib, and dessert,” Keshton replied.Sibyl glanced at the food Keshton had brought: expensive, delicious, and
“Why don’t you remember?”Sibyl looked up at him, revealing a hidden part of her life. “When I was ten, my mom abandoned me. The only thing I remember is watching her back disappearing from view in the middle of the night when she opened the door and left without looking back. Later, Dad went insane when he read the letter she left behind. She was fed up with having a drunkard mate, a good-for-nothing son, and living in poverty. She abandoned us to start a new life,” she casually explained, but Keshton could clearly feel her sadness behind that slight smile. “Don’t look at me like that. I really don’t remember her now. I stopped hating her years ago when I realized how mean my father and brother were. She deserved better, and that couldn’t happen if she hadn’t abandoned me too,” she smiled, taking the empty plate from his hand before she got off the bed.He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled he
“Alpha Keshton," the Red Moon Pack Beta hesitantly reapproached Keshton, who had been standing alone in the garden of the packhouse. All the guests had already arrived for the ball. "My apologies, but the rest of the guests are growing nervous over your absence. They're under the false impression that you are offended and the ball might be attacked or something," he managed to squeak out the last sentence.Keshton had been standing alone, glancing at the moon, his features as sharp as blades and his aura as intimidating as ever. "I am waiting for my date. When she shows up, I will be joining the ball with her," he replied curtly.The Beta’s curiosity intensified as to who the she-wolf was that made the rogue Alpha wait for her for an hour. "But what if she does not come?" Lured by curiosity, he momentarily forgot the danger he was putting himself in.Keshton glared over his shoulder, his eyes filled with wrath. The Beta quickly lowered his head, his heart pounding in fear. "My apologi
Quickly putting the gown back on, Sibyl hurriedly ran into the city from the woods. The hair she had beautifully styled before leaving the apartment was now a mess, as was the gorgeous gown Keshton had bought for her. Her heart was heavy with guilt for not going to Keshton, but after receiving Kaha’s call, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing. During the call, Kaha had been terrified, crying, and begging for help, having no one else to turn to but Sibyl. The sound of Kaha's baby crying added to Sibyl's anxiety. Kaha was clearly running from something or someone.The thought of always living with regret if she didn't help Kaha dominated Sibyl's heart, mind, and soul.“Kaha!” she yelled, her voice echoing down the deserted street.The area was unfamiliar to Sibyl, and she didn't know where to find Kaha. There were many abandoned houses marked with government notices of impending demolition for reconstruction. The more Sibyl looked around, the gloomier the atm
Keshton spotted a group of werewolves running out of the soon-to-be-demolished area. Their faces clearly showed they had done something evil, but before Keshton could get out of his car, they had all dashed into the woods in their wolf forms.Keshton gritted his teeth and immediately ran to the area in search of Sibyl. He could instantly track her location, thanks to the bug he had put in Sibyl’s gown pocket when he had bought it for her. Along with her scent, he caught the smell of a fire. The flames of the burning house were so intense and high that he immediately knew where to go.“Sibyl!!” Keshton’s voice echoed in the burning house.His eyes widened at the sight of Kaha’s naked body burning in the fire and Sibyl sitting still amidst the flames. The roof was about to collapse on her.“Sibyl!” he shouted, racing in and grabbing her hand. “Let’s go!” he yelled, dragging her out of the house. Just as they made it out together, the roof collapsed, consumi
Joseph’s evil laughter echoed in the room as the sight of Sibyl and Keshton’s breakup and separation played out on every shattered piece of the mirror. “Such a magnificent view of Keshton’s heartbreak,” he sneered, his heart swelling with joy the longer he looked at it.Min, standing beside his Alpha, also chuckled. The scene unfolding in front of them was truly exceptional and had gone exactly as they had planned. However, as he glanced at Joseph’s face, he noticed the smile slowly fading, replaced by a hint of resentment and hatred.“How dare you fall in love? How dare you forget her…” Joseph’s last comments were spoken under his breath so quietly that Min was not able to catch them clearly.However, Daisy, sitting on the couch beside him, silently observed the scene unfolding in the mirror as well as the hostility in Joseph’s eyes. She had been with him for a couple of days and had realized that the enmity between Keshton and Joseph was abnormal and frightening on many levels. She
In a high-end shifter hotel, the manager and Beta stared at Sibyl with surprise and admiration in his eyes. “You want to take the second shift too?”One shift already required eight hours of hard work. Sibyl had begun working at the bar and event section of the hotel. With an upcoming event around the corner, they had hired new staff but were still short-handed. Within two days of starting the tiring job, a she-wolf asking to take on a second shift was truly an unexpected surprise.“Yes, I will make sure not to disappoint you,” Sibyl replied.The man took his time to study the beautiful features of the she-wolf standing before him. She was strong and confident, yet her face was pale, her red lips slightly dry. Even though he couldn’t see her eyes behind those sunglasses, he could tell they were tired and not in good condition.He took a deep breath and remarked, “Alright, you can take the second shift. You already know that I don’t care about your sunglasses or how many shifts you tak
Joseph replied with disinterest, “Only the Goddess knows. It could be wolfsbane or poison,” he slowly shifted his admiring gaze from his wine to Sibyl. “Or a spell?” His eyes shone with insanity.Sibyl’s eyes widened. If it was a spell and she could see it then Keshton could not, that meant he was still under the blind spell and would drink the wine without a question!“NO!” Sibyl shook her head and turned to see Keshton accepting the glass. “KESHTON, DON’T DRINK THAT!” she screamed, crawling off of the bed and rushing to the mirror. However, she tripped and fell face first.A sharp pain surged through her forehead but was quickly surpassed by a realization. She opened her eyes to find shattered pieces of the mirror on the ground beside her. It had knocked over because of her.“NO...” she sat on the ground, seeing that the mirror was completely broken and she could no longer see anything. “Keshton…” she called his name, then turned to look at Joseph, who
A wave of shivers ran down Sibyl's spine. Just like in the past, this man's aura was as malicious as a poisonous snake, capable of devouring one whole without spitting out the bones. Even after all these years, nothing seemed to have changed, including his effect on her wolf, which set off waves of alarms in her heart with his mere presence.Joseph inclined slightly, revealing his brown wolf eyes fully in the dim light as he locked eyes with Sibyl. “Or could it be that you don’t want to keep your tongue anymore?”Even if he was in his human form, he had an eighty percent tendency towards leaning into his animal nature. He enjoyed feasting on raw flesh and bones in his wolf form every day, something Sibyl was well aware of. The stare that could even scare the Devil, how could it spare Sibyl?Barely controlling her fear, she forced herself to speak. “What do you want from me?”Given the elaborate trap he had set in order to approach her, his motives were clearly not just to have a casua
Eclipse Moon PackUnder the evening sky, Aries, Glen, and Trace sat in the packhouse backyard, reviewing important documents that were scattered on the table in front of them.“These are the packs that Keshton doesn’t wish to renew treaties with,” Glen put those files aside and tiredly stated, “Let's take a coffee break.”“Why is Keshton suddenly breaking off so many alliances?” Trace casually inquired.“Probably because of Joseph,” Glen shrugged his shoulders. “We all know that Joseph's return has brought a lot of uncertainty and suspicion. Anyone could be our enemy and Joseph’s ally so Keshton is just trying to get ahead of the game by getting rid of those that he does not trust,” he explained seriously and then added, “Who would have thought that he would be still alive. That fucking snake!”Trace gave only a nod in response, unaware of Aries’ gaze fixed on him. “So, what exactly happened between them four years ago in the Moonrise Pack?” Aries brought up the matter that was buried
Eclipse Moon PackIn the Alpha’s office, Glen impatiently went through the files on the desk. “Fuck! Where did it go? I remember leaving it here for Keshton to sign a few days ago. If it went missing Keshton will kill me,” he grumbled in frustration and panic.Trace, sitting by the window, staring outside and lazily smoking asked, “Are you looking for the file related to Sibyl’s debt and everything else?”Glen frowned, raising his head up, “How do you know?”Trace took a dang of the cigarette, “Look outside, you will know too.”Glen came over to look outside the window only to be stunned by what he witnessed. “Fuck,” cursing, he rushed out of the packhouse and grabbed the hair of the wolf who was about to toss the file in the bonfire. “Fucker, what do you think you are doing? How dare you steal this from the Alpha’s office?!”The man shivered under Glen’s furious growl, “Beta Glen, it is the Alpha’s order,” he stammered.“What?” Glen let go of the man in surprise.The man turned to fa
