I need y'all's support. So please show me some love 🥺✨❤️🌈
The final bell of the day echoed through the school halls, and students flooded out of classrooms, their conversations and laughter filling the air. Maya lingered by her locker, her movements slow and deliberate as she placed her books into her bag. She wanted nothing more than to head home, escape the noise and tension of the day, and be alone with her thoughts. But as she zipped her bag, she heard a familiar voice behind her. "Maya!" She turned to see Lily approaching, a bright smile on her face. The sight of it stirred a mix of emotions in Maya—guilt, anger, and the faint ache of nostalgia. "Hey," Maya said, her voice neutral. Lily adjusted the strap of her bag and tilted her head slightly. "Are you going home or do you have any plans for later today?" Lily asked, her eyes scanning Maya's face for an answer."I think I'm just going to head home and crash on my bed. I'm already feeling tired from all the classes today" Maya replied.The light in Lily's eyes disappeared and s
The next few days passed in a blur of activity, but for Lily, something felt off. At first, it was subtle—an undercurrent of tension in the air whenever Maya was around. Maya’s usual warmth seemed strained, her smiles not quite reaching her eyes, and the way she fidgeted whenever Lily caught her gaze left Lily with a nagging sense of unease.Lily, ever the perceptive one, couldn't ignore the changes. Maya had always been her closest friend, the one who knew her inside and out, and Lily had always known Maya’s moods better than anyone else. But recently, something was different.It was lunch when Lily first noticed how truly off Maya was. As the bell rang and students flooded into the cafeteria, Maya was unusually quiet. Normally, she would have laughed at something Lucas or Liam said, but today, she barely seemed to register their jokes. Lily watched her from across the table, the discomfort settling in her chest like a heavy weight. She felt an instinctive need to help, but no
The drive back to Lily’s house was pleasant, with the sun dipping low on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the town. Lucas and Liam, as usual, were joking around, their energy lighthearted and infectious. Lily, sitting next to Maya, laughed along with them, the sound of her laughter filling the car. "Looks like Maya’s becoming a regular around here," Lucas teased, turning around from the passenger seat to glance at Maya. "You’re practically a part of the family now."Liam smirked. "Yeah, at this rate, you’re going to have to start paying rent, Maya."Lily laughed as she lifted an eyebrow."How can she be family but still have to pay rent. Wouldn't she have a room for free" Lily said."Her own case is different so she'll have to pay rent" Liam replied then laughed with Lucas.Lily rolled her eyes, grinning. "Oh, shut up, you two. At least Maya’s good company—unlike you clowns."Liam regarded Lily with mock hurt as he put his hand to his chest to show shock."I'll like to argue
Maya immediately regained herself and she hid her phone in the back pocket of her jeans as she looked at Lucas and she could see the suspicion in his eyes."What are you doing here, Lucas?" Maya asked, her voice slightly breaking due to fear but she tried her best to maintain a cool and calm exterior."I wanted to check on you because Lily said you were having stomach issues" Lucas brought out a small bottle. "My mum said this is the best remedy for such problems and I felt you would most probably need it."Maya's face lit up just a bit."Thank you much" Maya said.As she collected the bottle from Lucas, the small exchange where their hands brushed each other, there was a feeling radiating from her that made everything seem uneasy.Maya attempted to leave but Lucas stood in her way."What are you doing?" Maya asked, her eyes moving from Lucas's hard stare to the ground.As an Alpha, it wasn't hard for Lucas to feel when something wasn't entirely right with a member of his pack.And she
The soft light of dawn crept through Lily’s curtains, spilling onto the floor in streaks of gold. The gentle chirping of birds outside her window would have usually been a calming sound, but not today. Lily sat on the edge of her bed, brushing her hair absentmindedly, her thoughts consumed by Maya’s strange behavior the day before. She had been noticing how weird she has been acting since they got back together and she only thought perhaps she was finding it hard transitioning back into being friends because they had been apart for a while.But now it seemed like there was something more sinister at play, especially after considering what Lucas had heard from Maya when she was in the bathroom.What could she be hiding? The question gnawed at her, tugging at her mind even as she tried to push it away. Maya had always been her anchor, her closest confidant. The distance between them felt like a void, growing larger with every passing day. She couldn’t shake the feeling that somethin
The school hallways buzzed with the usual morning chaos—students rushing to their lockers, chatter echoing off the walls, and teachers issuing last-minute reminders before classes began. But none of it registered with Lily.She moved through the crowd like a ghost, her thoughts swirling with Luna Ariel's words. "Announce your pregnancy during the Moon Festival."If she could stop herself from thinking about it, she would, but even that task seemed impossible for her to do.The phrase echoed in her mind, each repetition tightening the knot in her chest. She wasn’t ready—not for an announcement, especially one that wasn't true. The entire pack deserved her honesty, but how could she possibly explain this to them? She wished she could come up with a solution as soon as possible so she won't have to be troubled by this lingering thought.Lost in thought, Lily didn’t notice Alex approaching until his voice cut through her haze. "Hey, are you okay?" She looked up, startled. Alex stood
The art room was eerily quiet, save for the faint creak of the wooden floor beneath Lily's pacing footsteps. The walls were adorned with student artworks—landscapes, abstract shapes, and portraits—all bathed in soft light from the tall windows. But Lily wasn’t paying attention to any of it. Her mind was a storm of thoughts, swirling around Luna Ariel’s demand. "Announce your pregnancy at the Moon Festival."She ran a hand through her hair, frustration evident on her face. The Moon Festival was only a few weeks away, and the pressure was mounting. As the Luna of the pack, there were expectations—traditions to uphold, appearances to maintain. But this? This was too much. Lily stopped, gripping its edge as she tried to steady her racing thoughts. She couldn’t deal with this alone, which was why she had texted Lucas and Liam to meet her here. Still, a small part of her wished she could have asked Maya for advice. Despite her friend’s recent odd behavior, Maya always had a way of c
The intruder's footsteps echoed faintly in the distance as Lucas and Liam charged through the hallway like shadows in pursuit. Their heightened senses—razor-sharp hearing, the ability to catch the faintest scent—were in full effect. They knew they couldn't let whomever it was to escape because he might go ahead and spill their secrets to the wrong person, thereby leading to the pack not being able to trust that they would be able to lead properly.This wasn't just about protecting a secret, it was about making sure the pack doesn't erupt into chaos."I’ll take the left corridor," Liam said in a low growl, his golden eyes gleaming as his wolf instincts surged to the forefront. A part of him was happy to be able to use his powers to such an extent and it surprised him how much he was enjoying the possibility of hunting someone."I’ll flank him from the right," Lucas replied, his voice firm and commanding. They split seamlessly, their movements fluid and synchronized. The scent trail
The dressing room buzzed with energy, the air thick with perfume and excitement. Rows of mirrors lined the walls, reflecting the image of Lily and Maya as they stood side by side, putting the finishing touches on their looks for the Moonlight Dance.They were all smiles as they took their time to make sure they looked more beautiful than they have been all year. This was supposed to be a very special day for both of them and they wanted to look the part. Lily wore a flowing, deep red gown that hugged her figure perfectly, the fabric shimmering under the dressing room lights. Her long, dark curls fell down her back, and the delicate silver necklace around her neck added the final touch of elegance.Maya, standing next to her, looked just as stunning in a sapphire blue dress, the off-shoulder sleeves giving her a regal appearance. Her short, dark hair was styled in loose waves, and her makeup was jaw dropping.Lily sighed, taking in their reflections. "We actually made it, Maya."
As Lily qmd Maya got closer to the boutique, they made sure to keep their distance as they monitored their targets.The boutique was filled with soft classical music, the scent of expensive perfume lingering in the air. Rows of elegant gowns lined the walls, their sequined and satin fabrics shimmering under the bright chandeliers.Lily and Maya stood just outside the store, pressed against a decorative pillar, peeking inside like a pair of detectives on a stakeout."Okay, this is ridiculous," Maya whispered, adjusting her stance to get a better view. "But I can’t lie, I kind of love it.""Shh!" Lily nudged her. "We have to be quiet if we’re going to figure out what’s going on."Inside the boutique, Lucian was standing beside the mystery girl, his arms crossed as she held up a deep emerald dress, pressing it against herself. He nodded approvingly, and the girl beamed. They continued lookingthroughother clothes, occasionally laughing and whispering to each other.Maya narrowed her eye
The soft hum of the engine filled the car as Lily gazed out the window, watching the busy streets pass by. The town’s biggest mall stood just ahead, its glass windows reflecting the bright afternoon sun. Inside, countless shoppers bustled about, their excited chatter mixing with the faint sound of background music playing from the stores.Maya, sitting beside her, tapped away on her phone. "I still can’t believe we’re finally getting our dresses for the Moonlight Dance. It feels so real now."Lily turned to her, a small smile tugging at her lips. "I know. It’s like the final piece of the puzzle.""Exactly!" Maya grinned. "And I already have a vision for my dress. Elegant, sexy, but also just enough sparkle to make Graham lose his mind."Lily chuckled. "You’re really excited about this, aren’t you?""Duh!" Maya tossed her phone into her bag. "It’s not every day we get to have a perfect night with the people we love. And after everything we’ve been through? We deserve this, Lily."L
The grand dining hall in the Alpha mansion was bathed in golden candlelight, the scent of roasted meat and fresh bread filling the air. The long mahogany table was elegantly set with silverware and polished plates, while the large windows let in the glow of the moon. Lily sat between Lucas and Liam, across from Alpha Dean and Luna Ariel.Despite the warm atmosphere, her mind kept replaying Graham’s words from earlier that day."Lucas and Liam don’t think they need to ask you."Her grip tightened around her fork as she poked at her mashed potatoes, her appetite fading. She couldn't believe how clueless they were."So, Lily," Luna Ariel's voice pulled her from her thoughts, "you’ve been quiet all evening. Is something on your mind?"Lily hesitated for a second before deciding now was as good a time as any. "I was just thinking about the Moonlight Dance."Alpha Dean chuckled. "Ah, the famous tradition. I remember when I asked Ariel to the dance back in our school days. I made a compl
The scent of fresh plants and autumn leaves filled the air as Lily and Maya walked down the school hallway, their shoes tapping rhythmically against the polished floors. Sunlight streamed in through the large windows, casting golden streaks across the lockers. Laughter and chatter surrounded them, the school buzzing with excitement. Weeks had passed since the chaos with Alex, and life had finally returned to normal.Lily inhaled deeply, a smile stretching across her face. "You know, I never thought I'd say this, but it's actually nice having a normal day at school again. No kidnappings, no rogue wolves, no dramatic fights. Just classes and... the Moonlight Dance."Maya grinned, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "I know, right? It’s like everything is back on track. And now, we get to focus on the important things—like waiting for our mates to ask us to the dance."Lily chuckled. "Right! I mean, I am expecting Lucas and Liam to ask me at some point. It is the proper t
A heavy silence hung over the battlefield, thick with tension and the scent of blood. The wolves surrounding Alex stared fiercely at him, their growls low and menacing, awaiting their Alpha Dean’s command. Moonlight shined across the road, casting eerie shadows on the wounded rogue who stood his ground despite his battered body.Alex's chest heaved with ragged breaths, his clothes torn and soaked in blood. Yet, despite the pain coursing through his veins, his gaze was still filled with defiance as he met Alpha Dean's unyielding stare.The towering Alpha took a deliberate step forward, his presence radiating an undeniable authority. His silver eyes bore into Alex like a predator assessing its prey. "Alex," Alpha Dean's voice was deep, steady, and laced with finality. "You stand accused of multiple crimes against this pack. Kidnapping, conspiracy, endangering the life of one of our own—Lily—and defying the authority of the Alpha."Alex sneered, blood dripping from the corner of his m
Lucas barely registered the sound of the car door slamming shut behind him as he ran toward the wreckage, his heart hammering wildly in his chest. The harsh scent of burning rubber and twisted metal filled the air, mixing with the distant echoes of the crash that still seemed to vibrate in his bones."LILY!" he shouted, his voice hoarse with desperation.Liam was right beside him, his face a mask of pure fear. "We need to get her out of there—now!" He screamed as they approached Alex’s fallen vehicle. Graham and Lucian followed closely, their expressions tense as they scanned the overturned vehicle for any sign of movement. The headlights from both cars cast long shadows across the deserted road, the flickering light illuminating the smoke rising from the crumpled hood.None of them knee what to think but all they could do was hope that Lily had only sustained minor injuries.Lucas's entire body felt like it was about to combust from sheer panic. If something had happened to her—i
Lily’s heart leaped with joy when she saw Lucas’s car gaining on them. The headlights cut through the incoming darkness like two forces of salvation, and she could feel their presence closing in. Relief surged through her veins like a tidal wave.They found me!Without thinking, she pulled open the window and stuck her head outside, the wind whipping her hair violently around her face."Lucas! Liam! Help me!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice raw with desperation.Lucas, behind the wheel of the pursuing vehicle, locked eyes with her through the rushing wind, his gaze fierce and determined. She saw Liam right beside him, his face twisted with rage, and Lucian and Graham in the back, all of them ready to fight for her.But before she could scream again, a rough hand dragged her back inside."Shut up!" Alex roared, his fingers digging into her wrist as he dragged her back into the seat. "Do you have any idea what you’ve done?"Lily struggled against his hold, her chest he
Lily sat sadly in the backseat of Alex’s car, her hands clenched into fists as she looked at Alex. The soft hum of the engine and the occasional bump of the road beneath them were the only sounds filling the tense silence. But inside her mind, there was chaos.She knew it.Lucas and Liam had lost her.The tracker was gone.Her last hope of being rescued was slipping away, and panic clawed at her chest.The car smelled like leather and a faint trace of Alex’s cologne—a scent that once made her heart race with something close to affection. Now, it only made her nauseous.She turned her head toward the front of the car, her eyes burning with fury.“You really think you’re going to get away with this?” she spat, her voice sharp with hatred.Alex, sitting comfortably in the driver’s seat, didn’t even flinch. His hands were relaxed on the wheel, his jaw set in quiet confidence.“I don’t think I will,” he said smoothly. “I know I will.”Lily let out a bitter laugh. “You’re delusional.”Alex
