The day was filled with fun and laughter. Mia and I spent the day together enjoying, we went to many stores, picking out clothes, footwears, handbags... and I couldn’t resist grabbing a few novels too.After shopping, we decided to indulge in a relaxing spa session, enjoying the facial and massage that left us feeling lighter and completely at ease.While we were at it, I also decided to bring up the topic that had been on my mind for a while. “Mia, is there anything I can do to help around the packhouse?” I asked her, trying to sound casual.She gave me a curious look and questioned, “To help out? You mean… a job?”“Yeah. I don’t want to just sit around all the time doing nothing.” I admitted, fidgeting with my fingers, feeling nervous.“I will see if there is anything for you to do. But I’ll have to talk to Caspian about it first.” she replied giving me a knowing smile, as if she knew exactly how uncomfortable I felt staying here without doing anything. I nodded, feeling lucky to
ALIZAToday after spending the day exploring the town, I ended up in a cozy little café. The fresh aroma of the coffee and chocolate making me feel refreshed and happy.It’s been two days since I moved into Grandmother’s house and I am enjoying every second of it. Although mother was not happy about this and didn’t speak to me.Back in my kingdom, I spent my days learning healing magic with Master Theo and kingdom politics from my mother, Queen Aileen, as the healing fae princess and heir to the kingdom.But now that I'm out of the kingdom, I can finally breathe. This place gave me a space to breathe from the constant stress of expectations and responsibilities of being a princess and an heir. I hadn't realized how much I needed this break until now.This town is just a few miles away from the Crescent Moon Pack, one of the largest and strongest werewolf pack in the country. Being this close makes me feel an odd mix of excitement and curiosity.As a member of the Elders Council, Grand
ALIZAJust when I thought it was over for us, a deep growl echoed through the forest. It was so loud and fierce that even the kidnapper froze in place, his face flashing with fear.My heart was filled with hope. Maybe someone from the Crescent Moon Pack is here to save us.The growl came again, closer this time, followed by the heavy sound of paws hitting against the forest ground. Despite my blurry vision, I managed to make out a huge black wolf stepping out of the darkness. Its glowing golden eyes stared at me for a moment before turning to the kidnapper.The kidnapper took a step back, trying to run from here. But the wolf didn’t give him a chance. The wolf snarled and pounced at him, knocking him to the ground and snapping its head from his body. Then the wolf shifted before my eyes, transforming into a tall and muscular man.My legs felt shaky and I tightened my grip on the kid. But before I could fall to the ground, the handsome man.. no the handsome wolfie wolf.. grabbed me by
CASPIANNolan gave me a grim look as he finished his examination on both of them. “Alpha, Ray is fine. He is just tired and will wake up by morning. We will move him to another room now.”Relief washed over me but it was short-lived as he turned his attention to her.“But her... it’s more complicated. We found wolfsbane and tranquilizing drugs in her body. Her body is reacting abnormally, almost as if the wolfsbane is trying to fight something else inside her. We weren’t able to remove it.” He pulled off his gloves with a sigh.Wolfsbane. Even the smallest dose could be harmful to our bodies. “Will she be okay?” I asked him, the thought of something happening to her made my stomach clench painfully.Nolan sighed heavily, saying, “It seems so, Alpha. We have removed the other toxins from her body and even with the wolfsbane in her body, her vitals are coming back to normal.”“But we still need to keep her under observation for a day or two. I also need more time to run tests and figure
ALIZA“I am fine except the pain and heaviness in my limbs. My family..” I started to say but froze suddenly when I realized I don’t remember a thing about myself.My mind just felt empty. I don’t remember. I can’t remember anything about myself, my family or friends except my name.A cold wave of panic washed over me. My heart raced as I struggled to steady my breath. Random flashes flickered through my mind.. voices, places, blurry faces but they slipped away the moment I tried to grasp onto them.I stared at him, feeling lost. “I… I don’t remember anything. All I know that my name is Aliza.” My voice cracked as fear crept in and I started breathing heavily.His demeanor shifted into something serious with concern shining in his dark eyes. He shifted closed to me, taking my arms gently in his hands. “Breathe Aliza.”But I was unable to do so because the fear was choking me, tightening my chest and making it hard to breathe. He repeated, in a more commanding tone. "Breathe."I didn’t
ALIZAShe looked at me and I saw relief flash through her eyes. Before I could say anything more, she hugged me tightly, her fingers gripping my shirt.Her voice cracked as she cried out burying her face in my chest, “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I remember anything? Did I do something wrong that I got such punishment?”Something inside of me broke by what she said. I didn’t know the answer but I know it will take some time for her to accept this. I couldn't even imagine her sorrow and vulnerability.“No, you did nothing wrong Aliza. Moon goddess is just testing you.” I hesitated for a moment then wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer to me, saying in a gentle tone. "And I told you we'll work this out together, right? I will try my best to find your family but until then you will stay here with us.”She pulled back and her watery blue eyes shifted to mine, filled with hope. Her flushed cheeks, red nose, puffy and innocent eyes looked so tempting that I wanted to kiss and
ALIZAThe evening sun casted a golden glow over the packhouse in a warm. Its grand size and intricate architecture were enough to leave me awestruck but I quickly composed myself, trying not to show how overwhelmed I felt.Nolan had given me the green light to go home, but I was required to return to the hospital at least once a week for a checkup.Mia, the Beta female, stood beside me. She had been kind enough to bring me here from the hospital, explaining that it was on the Caspian’s orders.“This way,” Mia said, gesturing toward the main entrance of the packhouse.I followed her through the large oak doors and into the main hall, which was just as stunning as it was outside. High ceilings, shiny wooden floors and a staircase that spiraled elegantly to the upper floors greeted us.Mia led me up the staircase to the second floor. As we walked down a wide hallway, she explained, “Downstairs, we have got the kitchen, office and a library. It’s just Alpha Caspian, my mate Caleb and I ar
CASPIANI could feel Caleb’s eyes on me as he opened his mouth to say something but then closed it once again. I exhaled through my nose, barely resisting the urge to snap at him.My patience was wearing thin. “If you want to say something, say it or get lost from here.”“Oh, I’m just thinking...” Caleb’s voice trailed off but the amusement was clear in his tone. I turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow in question.He finally spoke, “Aliza must be something special to have you paying more attention than necessary.”I stiffened, my body freezing for a moment and my muscles tensed. I couldn’t help the bitter taste that settled in my chest. Paying more attention than necessary...He was right about one thing. Aliza was special. I hadn’t expected her to affect me the way she had.“What are you implying?” I forced myself to keep my expression neutral, hoping to deflect, though it was a poor attempt.Caleb shrugged nonchalantly, though his eyes were sharp. “You were with her all the tim

I stepped out of the bathroom, my wet hair sticking to my face. Pulling my silk robe around me, I walked toward my closet, deciding what to wear. Mia had planned a girls’ day out today, despite the fact that we had gone shopping just a few days ago. But apparently that didn’t count as one, according to her, as shopping is girls basic right.But I knew the real reason behind her persistence.She was doing this for me.Because today morning had been... strange.After my checkup, Dr Nolan looked at me and told me, "We found anomalies in your blood. It's different from what we have seen in other supernaturals, similar to what happens during a transformation phase, but not exactly the same."As I stood there in front of my closet, his words replayed in my head. My blood was changing. But into what?I let out a sigh, trying to get rid of the shaky feeling that was creeping up my spine. Transformations of supernatural entities were not unheard of. However, this was not like the others. I i
The meeting room was tense as I stood in front of everyone. Every eye was fixed on me, waiting for me to say something.I looked around the room before speaking, my voice calm but firm. "We investigated the kidnapping case, it turns out Fred is involved.""Although we are still not clear about his motive, but there is something deeper going on and the possibility that he might be involved in the rogue attacks is high." I continued.The pack members broke into angry murmurs. The idea of using an eight-year-old, betraying both his family and pack, filled everyone with rage.Mia stepped forward, her voice steady but serious. “I spoke to Ray when he came to the pack house. Although he is smart kid, but he is just eight, so he was unable to catch that something was off.” she explained. The room fell silent again as Mia’s words sank in. If Ray’s uncle had betrayed us, who else might be involved? The fucker we caught didn’t help much, he didn’t know anything beyond this. He was just a pawn,
ALIZAI sat on the lawn in front of the pack house, the cool night air brushing against my skin, helping me relax. The same nightmare about the little pup haunted me yet again.My room felt suffocating, and the restlessness gnawed at me, making sleep impossible. So I had come here, hoping the night air could help calm my racing mind.I wasn’t sure how long I had been sitting there, staring at the moonlit sky, but tiredness finally started to pull at me, my eyelids growing heavy. The bench beneath me felt comfortable enough, and I decided to sleep here.Just as I was about to slip into deep slumber, I felt a presence near but I was too tired to open my eyes. Ever since the nightmares had started, sleep had become a rare luxury, leaving me feeling helpless and restless—except for that one night. The night he kissed me.My first kiss.I felt myself smiling, even in my half-conscious state, and then his scent hit me.. dark musk with a hint of lavender.Caspian.Even without seeing him, I
ALIZAAs Caleb carried Mia upstairs, I couldn’t help but smile, feeling happy for them, even if the whole scene felt a bit awkward.“Every fucking time.” Caspian muttered in annoyance, taking another sip of tea.I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment even more at his remark and looked away, not looking at him.“Do you want some Aliza?” he asked in a sexy voice, making goose bumps rise along my neck.My mind going back to our passionate yet gentle kisses last night and how warm his lips felt on mine, making my eyes widen."Ah… Wh-what?" "Ah… Wh-what?" I looked at him as I stammered. Was he really asking me for a kiss?“Tea, of course. What were you thinking?” he replied in an innocent voice. But I swear I saw flicker of amusement in his eyes. "N-no! Tea, I am fine," I mumbled quickly, once again looking down, continuing to avoid looking at him.Damn! How does he make me flustered so easily? Am I really that gullible?The room fell into silence but my thoughts were an
CASPIAN The smell of sweat and mud clung to me as I made my way to my room. I had our training time to be doubled recently because of the ongoing attacks, as if that wasn’t tiring enough, a pile of paperwork was waiting for me in my study.I cursed in frustration, wanting to shower and get back to work as soon as possible.However, as soon as I arrived in front of my room, I heard laughter coming from Caleb and Mia’s room, which instantly caught my attention.The very sound of it seemed to erase my frustration and fatigue. Then I heard her gentle and soothing voice that instantly made my mood better and a tiny smile appeared on my face before I even realized it.She had this magic of making everything around her feel brighter. But even her light would fade sometimes and last night her nightmare was proof of that.But then.. things got heated when she made the first move. She kissed me and I couldn’t resist kissing her back. Her lips were so soft and moist, like something forbidden y
ALIZA“I think he really has taken a liking to you. Trust me.. you are really special, Liz.”Her words took me by surprise. I glanced at Ray, who was fully absorbed in the novel, his small fingers carefully running over the lines as if trying to make sense of the words.“Ray is the special one Mia. I consider myself lucky to have met him.” I said, my voice filled with an unknown emotion that I was unable to understand myself, considering we just met the second time today.Ray made a special place for himself in my heart.As I spoke, I reached out and ruffled Ray’s hair lovingly. He glanced up at me, giving a warm smile before returning his focus to the book. His smile grew wider as he leaned back against the swing ropes, completely relaxed and clearly enjoying himself.For a while, none of us spoke, enjoying the silence. Eventually, Ray closed the book and looked at us, his curiosity satisfied for now."Already bored?" Mia teased him with a playful tone, still leaning against the rail
ALIZAThen his deep, husky voice came, cutting through the silence between us. “This is not how you kiss Sweetheart.”His words ignited a fire of desire, need.. and lust inside me, it burned hotter than anything I had ever felt. My breath hitched and my fingers curled into fists, grabbing his shirt.Caspian’s fingers started tracing slow, teasing circles at my waist, making my body tingle in delight. He smirked, clearly knowing the effect he had on me, enjoying the way his touch made my body tremble.“I—” I tried to speak, but my voice faltered.Then I dared to look his eyes.His eyes burned with dark and intense desire that sent another shiver down my spine. My body became aware of him as he tightened his grip on my waist, pulling me impossibly close.I could feel his breath on my lips as he leaned in, so close, too close. His scent enveloped me, making me even more dizzy and intoxicated.“Let me show you,” he whispered teasingly against my lips, making my heart skipped a beat.Would
ALIZAI sat at the edge of the river, looking up at night sky, filled with the clouds and the twinkling stars. The stars were shining brightly and penetrating the clouds like tiny rays of hope. I had never seen a sky like this before.I was enjoying a moment of peace and quiet when I heard a soft cry for help. I glanced around but nothing unusual caught my eye. I thought I imagined it.There was silence for a while and then I heard it again and this time more clearly, a desperate cry for help. I got up and looked at the darkness around me. The sound seemed to come from a distance."Hello? Is someone there?" I asked as my heart pounded in my chest.The cry came again but it was weak this time. I wanted to go and see if there was anyone who needed help but stopped as there were also many unknown dangers present in the dark of the night.And I was alone here. I didn’t even know what place this is.But what if someone genuinely needed my help?After taking a deep breath to calm myself, I d
