FATED MATES IN THE SHADOWS The Alpha's Dilema
CHAPTER EIGHTI cried out, my voice shaking, "Mom! No, please don't leave me!", I shook her vigorously, in an attempt to see her open her eyes and shout "surprise!" , or "it's a prank"But it was too late, a surge of power escaped her body, I knew she was gone, and I was left with the pain of that memory.Even now, the memory brought tears to my eyes, a memory that was like a punch to the gut, leaving me breathless and sad. My Aura began to fluctuate wildly, becoming dangerous and unpredictable. I could feel it affecting the air around me, making the plants wither and the lights flicker."No... no... no..." I whispered, trying to push the memory away. But it was too late. The pain and grief had already consumed me, I felt like a murderer, if only I had a wolf, if only i wasn't incompetent.Just as I was drowning in my sorrow, my phone rang, shrill and insistent. I groaned, feeling the flashback recede like a tide pulling back from the shore. I hesitated for a moment, then picked up
FATED MATES IN THE SHADOWS A Prison Of Her Own Making
CHAPTER NINEJay trembled, taking a step back. "I-I'll take you to her, Alpha. Please, follow me."I strode behind Jay, my anger building with each step. How dare she try to escape? Didn't she know the danger that lurked outside these walls? Didn't she know I was the only one who could protect her?We reached the east wing, and Jay led me to a room guarded by two burly men. "She's in there, Alpha," Jay whispered, cowering.I pushed open the door, my eyes scanning the room until they landed on Selene. She sat in a corner, her eyes flashing with defiance. I could feel my anger boiling over, but I knew I had to keep it in check. For now."What were you thinking, trying to escape?" I demanded, my eyes blazing with anger.Selene's response was immediate and rude sounding scornful. "I was trying to get away from your prison, Mr Orion!"But she bit her tongue, her eyes widening in fear, as if realizing her mistake.I took a step closer, my voice low and menacing. "Do you have any idea how d
FATED MATES IN THE SHADOWS The Weight of Grief
CHAPTER TENSeleneI was locked in the room, feeling trapped and helpless. Beta Jay had looked at me with pity in his eyes, but he couldn't bring himself to disobey the Alpha's orders. "I'm sorry, Selene," he had said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I can't be disloyal to Orion, no matter what I think is right."And with that, he had left me alone in the room locked up, leaving me to my tears. I cried until I felt weak and exhausted, my eyes red and puffy, my hair a tangled mess of golden locks that cascaded down my back like a river of sunset hues. My birthmark on my hand, seemed to throb with a dull ache, as it reminded me of the secrets that I was yet to unravel. I felt stupid for thinking that asking Mr Orion's permission had been the right thing to do. Stupid for thinking that he would ever let me go. Stupid for thinking that I had any control over my own life.As the tears streamed down my face, I couldn't help but wonder what must have made Mr Orion act out of the blues

CHAPTER ELEVENMr Orion's eyes spilled over, tears streaming down his face."The rogue, it tore her apart, broke her. She was bleeding, Selene. Bleeding so badly. And I... I was too scared, too weak and my wolf..... I couldn't even save her."Mr Orion's voice cracked as he continued, "She died right in my hands, Selene. I felt her life force slipping away, a surge of power leaving her body as she took her last breath. I was too young to understand what was happening, but I knew it was the end. I felt it, the moment her soul left her body."He paused, his eyes frozen on a distant memory, his voice was barely audible, and his body was shaking with sobs."I've lived with that guilt ever since, Selene. The guilt of not being able to save my mother. And I won't let it happen again. I won't lose you too." "I was just a child. My mother, she... she was taken from me. Killed by the same creatures that I'm trying to protect you from."He paused, his eyes distant, lost in the past. I could see

I was trapped, and I knew it. The weight of my situation crushed me, and I felt myself drifting off to sleep, my mind numb and my body exhausted.I dreamed of a hidden cave, dimly lit and eerily quiet.

I quickly rinsed off and stepped back into the room, wrapped in a towel.As I sat on the bed, as my eyes scanned the room, still searching for any signs of the monster from my dream.

But he didn't, he stretched out his hand as he pulled me in.As Mr Orion's arms wrapped around me, I felt myself being lifted off the ground. My legs instinctively wrapped around his waist, as my feet dangled in the air. I was suspended in mid-air, as my body pressed against his, and his eyes locked on mine.

CHAPTER FIFTEENMR ORION; I'll admit, I initially thought I was just playing games with my maid, Selene. But as I drew her closer, something strange happened. A part of me began to stir, like a awakening from a deep slumber. It wasn't my wolf - I knew that much, since my wolf was still absent - but it felt similar.
