I need y'all's support. So please show me some love 🥺✨❤️
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
Lucas and Liam returned to the art room with an air of frustration lingering between them. The once-determined glint in their eyes had dulled, replaced by a mix of irritation and disappointment. Lily, who had been anxiously pacing the room, stopped in her tracks and turned to face them, her heart racing. “Did you catch them?” Lily asked, her voice filled with hope. Liam shook his head, a heavy sigh escaping his lips. “No. We almost had them, but…” Lucas cut in, his tone sharper. “But Alex showed up and delayed us. By the time we got past him, the spy was gone.” Lily’s face fell, the color draining from her cheeks. She ran a hand through her hair, her anxiety visibly mounting. “This isn’t good. Not good at all.” She began pacing again, muttering more to herself than to the twins. “If word gets out about what we talked about… if the pack finds out…” Lucas stepped forward, placing a calming hand on her shoulder. “Lily, take a deep breath. We’ll figure this out. We always do.”
The school day dragged on, but Lily could barely focus on anything. Her mind was an endless storm of worry and confusion. Every interaction with her classmates and teachers felt like it took an eternity, and she couldn’t stop replaying the events of the morning in her head. The idea of making a pregnancy announcement at the moon festival loomed over her like a dark cloud, and now the added fear of being spied on made everything worse. After her final class, she retreated to an empty corner of the library, hoping for some peace to sort her thoughts. However, her fidgeting and anxious glances didn’t go unnoticed. Maya had been watching Lily all day, and the more she observed, the more concerned she became. Maya approached Lily cautiously, not wanting to startle her. “Hey, Lily,” she said gently, sliding into the seat across from her. Lily blinked, snapping out of her thoughts. “Oh, hey, Maya. Didn’t see you there.” Maya tilted her head, studying Lily's face. “You’ve been off al
The evening sun bathed the pool area in a warm, golden glow that made the entire place seem a little more magical.Liam floated lazily on his back in the pool, letting the water lap gently against him as he closed his eyes to enjoy the calming silence that followed.The soothing sound of ripples and the occasional chirping of birds was the perfect backdrop for his much-needed solitude. He rarely got moments like this, especially with the mounting tension surrounding Lily and the pack. Lucas and Lily had stayed back at school to study for an upcoming test, leaving Liam with the rare opportunity to enjoy the peace of being home alone. He wasn’t particularly concerned about the test—they always managed to pull through, but Lily’s nerves had been fraying lately, and he knew Lucas would be there to support her. For now, the water was his escape. He had just closed his eyes, the faint scent of the water mixing with the summer air, when he heard the faint sound of heels clicking against
The school courtyard was unusually quiet, except for the faint rustle of leaves in the evening breeze. Maya sat on one of the stone benches, her arms wrapped around her knees as she stared blankly at the ground. She hadn’t touched her lunch, her appetite buried under the weight of guilt and regret. “How did it come to this?” she whispered to herself, resting her chin on her knees. She thought about Lily—kind, trusting Lily—who had always been there for her, even when Maya didn’t deserve it. And what had she done in return? Betrayed her. Allowed herself to be Lexa’s puppet, driven by anger and a desire for revenge that felt so distant now it seemed almost absurd. “I’m a terrible friend,” she muttered, her voice breaking. For the first time in weeks, Maya allowed herself to reflect honestly on her actions. It wasn’t just the fear of Lexa that had kept her in line—it was the bitterness she’d harbored toward Lily. It was easier to blame Lily for her own insecurities than to face th
The dim light of dusk bathed the parking lot in a hazy glow as Alex leaned against his sleek black car, his arms crossed, a calculating glint in his eyes. His friends stood in a tight circle around him, their voices low but firm as they hashed out their plans. They were now on a tight schedule to exact the full force of their intentions in the pack and they needed to come up with a full proof plan that was sure to guarantee their victory."We have to make sure they fall into the trap perfectly," Alex said, his voice cold and cunning. "If even one thing goes wrong, Lucas and Liam will walk out alive—and we can't afford that." One of his friends, Darren, frowned. "But they’re alphas, Alex. Their strength alone is unmatched, and they’re not stupid. We can’t just lure them into a simple snare and expect it to work." Alex’s lips curled into a thin smile. "That’s why we’re not relying on something simple. We’ll use their arrogance against them. They think they’re invincible—untouchable
The gravel crunched under Graham's boots as he steadied himself, his sharp gaze darting between Darren and Jared. The two wolves circled him like predators closing in on their prey, their eyes gleaming with malice under the dim light of the parking lot. Darren, now fully shifted into his wolf form, growled low and deep, his massive frame quivering with raw power. Jared, still in his human form but partially shifted, cracked his knuckles, a wicked grin splitting his face. "Didn't think we'd catch you this easily," Jared taunted, his voice dripping with smug satisfaction. "Alex will be pleased." Graham smirked, though his heart pounded like a war drum. "You think this is easy? Hate to break it to you, but you’ve bitten off more than you can chew." Darren snarled, his sharp teeth glinting in the light. Without warning, he lunged, a blur of fur and muscle hurtling toward Graham with deadly intent. Graham sidestepped just in time, Darren’s claws swiping inches from his torso. He mo
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
