FATED MATES IN THE SHADOWS Beyond The Cave
CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN _ARIEL_As we fought, the cave rocks began to crack and tremble, and the ground shook beneath our feet. The girl's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and she seemed to be channeling the ancient power of the cave. I stumbled back, my footing unsure, as the rocks creaked and groaned around us. In a desperate bid to claim the amulet, I ducked away from the girl and made a grab for the pedestal. But she was too quick. With a swift motion, she snatched the Moonstone Amulet from its resting place and held it aloft, its glow illuminating her triumphant face."No!" I cried, my heart racing with disappointment. "That's mine!"The girl merely laughed, a wild, untamed sound, and held the amulet out of my reach. "Catch me if you can!" she taunted, her eyes sparkling with mischief. With a wicked grin, she turned and ran, the amulet clutched in her hand.I scrambled to my feet, determined to pursue her, but the cave was collapsing around me. Rocks crashed down, blocking my pa

*SELENE* "Walking up the grand steps of Mr. Orion's imposing estate, my heart fluttered nervously in my chest. I had never been inside such a magnificent mansion before, let alone to work as a maid for the enigmatic Alpha and soon to be boss of mine. As I knocked on the intricately carved wooden door, I could feel the weight of my fate hanging in the air, unsure if this new chapter in my life would bring me joy or sorrow. my friends always talked about Mr. Orion, in fact everyone in our town knows him. and here I am offering to be his maid. This was my only option to help pay my aunt's hospital bills and go to college,since I am not a werewolf and I couldn't afford to be home schooled as my two friends Ariel and Chris. I actually live in a town of both werewolves and humans, it could be complicated at times yet amazing. I gave a long sigh... As the door creaked open, revealing Mr. Orion standing before me, his piercing gaze sweeping over me with an unreadable expression. I brac

CHAPTER TWO I left Lady Evelyn to settle into the elegance of the sitting room, her movements intermingling with the silence that hung in the air. With a quick nod, I headed towards Mr. Orion's chambers with a sense of urgency. Uncertain of what this Visit held for my Job in Mr. Orion's mansion, I breathed out to relax my nerves, my hand outstretched, as I placed a soft knock on the door to his Chambers. Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!, I knocked on the door tentatively, hoping he would hear me and spare me the embarrassment of interrupting him or barging in on him. Yet, there was no response from the inside. "Is he okay?" I asked myself, fearful thoughts running through my mind. I pushed open the door, my heart racing with anticipation. i had to inform Mr Orion about Lady Evelyn's arrival.

CHAPTER THREE As Annabelle's words broke the tension, I breathed out the breath I never knew I was holding onto. My lungs felt like they were burning, and my chest was tight. I tried to steady myself, but my legs felt like jelly, and I slipped down the wall, my back sliding against the cold surface. I sat there, trying to catch my breath, my mind racing with thoughts. What just happened? Why did Mr Orion's proximity affect me like that? And what did he mean by "deal with me later"? My breath came in short gasps, and I tried to calm myself down, telling myself it was just a moment of weakness. But deep down, I knew it was more than that. Mr Orion had gotten under my skin, and I didn't know how to shake him off. As I sat there, trying to compose myself, I couldn't help but wonder what other surprises lay in store for me in this mansion with Mr Orion. I slowly stood up from the ground, my legs still shaky from the encounter with Mr Orion. I made my way to the kitchen, trying to dist

CHAPTER FOUR He asked in a measured tone, "How is Arabella doing? How's she preparing for the next moon ball? I hope she's finding suitable prospects for a mate." His stepmother's face softened, a hint of an understanding smile playing on her lips. "Ah, Arabella's doing well, Orion. She's excited for the moon ball and hopes to find her mate there. She's been practicing her courting rituals and is confident she'll make a good impression." Mr Orion's gaze seemed distant, his thoughts elsewhere, but his tone remained polite and interested. "I'm glad to hear that. Please give her my best wishes and support. I hope she finds a suitable mate." Just as the tension began to dissipate, Mr Orion's phone rang, shattering the brief silence. His gaze darkened as he glanced at the screen, his expression unyielding. "Beta Jay," he answered, his voice firm but controlled. As he listened to the caller, his eyes seemed to gaze into space, his expression unreadable. He responded with a simple "hmm"

CHAPTER FIVE I tried to stand up, to leave and process what was happening, but Mr Orion's stepmother's words stopped me in my tracks. "Selene, your birthmark...it's a sign of your destiny. It's only given to the children of an Alpha werewolf bloodline." I turned back to her, my eyes wide with confusion. "What do you mean? I'm human. I don't have any werewolf blood." She smiled again, her eyes glinting with a knowing light. "Ah, but that's where you're wrong, Selene. You see, your birthmark...it's a mark of greatness. A sign that you're meant for something more." I shook my head, feeling like I was trapped in a dream. "I don't understand. What do you mean?" Mr Orion's stepmother leaned in, her voice taking on a conspiratorial tone. "You'll see, Selene. You'll see what you're truly capable of. And when you do...you'll join us, as one of our own." I felt a shiver run down my spine as she straightened up, her eyes never leaving mine. What did she mean? What was I capable of

CHAPTER SIXMr OrionSelene stood before me, her eyes hesitant. 'Mr. Orion, I need to ask for a favor,' she said, her voice professional. I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. 'Oh? And what might that be, Selene?''I need to take the evening off tomorrow. I have a personal appointment I can't miss," She explained her request, sounding neutral, but I sensed a hint of nervousness. I leaned back in my chair, my eyes narrowing. 'An appointment, you say? With whom?'Her hesitation was palpable, and I knew she was hiding something. 'Just some friends. We're meeting for drinks,' she replied, her voice laced with evasiveness.I leaned forward, my eyes locking onto hers. 'And can't this appointment be rescheduled? I have a lot of work for you to do, Selene.' I could see the frustration in her eyes, but I didn't relent.Wanting to push her beyond limits,I approached her and I could see the fear and anticipation dancing in her eyes.

CHAPTER SEVEN.But then, she pulled away, her eyes still gleaming with desire, yet she tried suppressing it ''You called me, sir.'' She said out of the blues. It was like a slap in the face, a reminder of our stations. I felt a surge of anger flow through me and my cold, domineering self taking over.''You'll clean every part of this mansion,'' I growled, my voice sounded very harsh. ''And you won't be going anywhere tomorrow evening.''"But, sir, I was supposed to perform my duties and leave as we initially agreed." She protested, but I cut her off, sounding firm. ''No, Selene. You'll do as I say.'' I felt a surge of satisfaction as Selene's eyes dropped, her shoulders slumping in defeat."Yes, Sir."The fire in her eyes was extinguished, and replaced by a meek submission. I felt a pang of guilt, but I pushed it aside, gaining back my control.As I stood there, gazing at Selene, I felt this strong connection that I had never felt with anyone before, this feeling was supposed to be

CHAPTER SIXTY SIX_ARIEL_ "But what if I could help them in other ways? I'm a skilled researcher, and I know how to gather information. Maybe I could dig up something on Ryker and his followers, find out what they're planning and where they are."I stopped pacing and sat down at my desk, pulling out my laptop and starting to type. I searched for any mentions of Ryker or his followers online, but there was nothing. I tried searching for other keywords, like "werewolf packs" and "supernatural threats," but still came up empty-handed.Just as I was about to give up, I remembered a book I had read a few months ago. It was about the supernatural creatures of the world, and it had a section on werewolves. I grabbed the book off my shelf and started flipping through the pages, looking for anything that might be useful.As I read, I came across a passage about a powerful werewolf artifact. It was said to be able to protect a pack from harm, and it might just be what Selene and our pack neede

CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE_ARIEL_I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease as I left the Orion's mansion. My mind was racing with thoughts of Selene's newfound identity and the secrets that had been kept from her. I tried calling her multiple times, but her number just rang and rang."Selene, pick up! I need to talk to you!" I said, frustration creeping into my voice.But it went straight to voicemail. Again.Days passed, and I grew more concerned. I tried reaching out to her on social media, but she seemed to have disappeared. A knot formed in my stomach as I wondered if everything was okay."Chris, have you talked to Selene lately?" I asked, trying to sound casual when I called him."Yeah, I've tried calling her too, but I haven't been able to reach her," Chris replied, sounding equally concerned."Aren't you worried? I mean, with her newfound identity and all..." I pressed on."I'm sure she's just processing everything. But hey, speaking of Selene, her birthday is coming up soon. We sho
FATED MATES IN THE SHADOWS A Revelation Of Truths
CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR_ARIEL_As Selene's best friend, and like a sister to her. It was the most shocking part of her life I got to know. I know how much Selene hates the idea of werewolves and all that. Not to talk of being a werewolf from an Alpha bloodline?I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Selene, my best friend, my sister in every way, was telling me that she was with a birthmark owned by werewolves? It sounded like a joke, but the seriousness in her voice told me otherwise."Guys, I'm telling you, I have this birthmark on my body and it means I'm from an Alpha werewolf bloodline," Selene said over the phone.I was taken aback. I had always known Selene to be a skeptic when it came to supernatural things, and now she was telling me that she was one of us?"Selene, that's impossible," I said, trying to reason with her. "You know as well as I do that you've always been a normal person all your life, how come you suddenly have that birthmark?"But Selene was insistent. She told us

CHAPTER SIXTY THREE_SELENE_I was leaving when I heard her talking again."I'm afraid that's not possible, Selene," the moon goddess said, her voice firm but gentle. "You are a guardian of the packs, and you cannot simply reject your destiny. You have a responsibility to protect them, to lead them.""I don't want it," I said, shaking my head. "I don't want to be a guardian. I don't want to be responsible for anyone else's lives. I just want to be free."The moon goddess sighed, her expression softening. "Selene, you are not like other humans. You have a special gift, a special purpose. You cannot simply walk away from that.""I can try," I said, my voice defiant. "I can try to leave it all behind and start a new life, a life without the constant fear and responsibility."The moon goddess shook her head. "You cannot escape your destiny, Selene. It will follow you wherever you go. And besides, you are not just a guardian. You are a leader. You have a role to play in the greater scheme

CHAPTER SIXTY ONE_ORION IN HIS STATE OF COMMA_"Wait!" she cried, her voice ringing out across the landscape. "Don't you ever wonder if Ryker is truly your master, or if he's just using you to achieve what he wants?"The werewolves were taken aback by her sudden boldness, but they quickly recovered and snarled at her. However, Selene stood her ground, her eyes locked on theirs."Do you know that Ryker plans to destroy you all once he achieves his goals?" she asked, her voice dripping with conviction. "He's using you, manipulating you, and you're just blindly following him!"The werewolves looked at each other uncertainly, clearly taken aback by Selene's words. Ryker appeared, his face twisted in rage."Enough of this nonsense!" he screamed, his voice echoing off the walls. "You're just trying to confuse them, Selene! But it won't work!"But Orion had already taken advantage of the distraction to scan their surroundings, and he spotted a flowing stream of water coming from the top of
