My hands on the wall beside the door slid down slowly as I reclined back. I looked at everyone else, and the cluelessness showed on their faces.

I didn't know how to take in that information. Really, I didn't want to believe it. It had always been my dream to be the Luna of this pack - I had fantasized about it and spent my idle time speculating on how exactly the kingdom would be with me and Ty-

He walked out of the room he was in with Audrey and closed the door behind him. With his back against the wall, he shifted his gaze to me. I could see regret and self-denial in his eyes, as if he was trying to tell me something but he didn't want anyone else to hear.

My father's voice brought back my attention, "Oh, that's splendid, Alpha. Em…when will the preparations begin?"

"As soon as my son proposes to the girl."

"He hasn't proposed yet?"

"No, but he's told me he wishes to marry her and I have come to tell you so you can talk to the girl's father."

I turned to look back at Tyler an

    Sarah listened carefully and understood exactly what I was talking about without me explaining further. She knew I had strong feelings for both Adrian and Tyler. Adrian had a mysterious charm, and we had a special connection. Tyler, on the other hand, was my first love who betrayed and embarrassed me but I still felt a connection towards. "It's completely normal to feel that way, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. It really isn't as complicated as you're making it to be." Sarah said. "What do you mean by that?" "The thing is, babes, you really need to use more head than heart in dealing with things of the heart, or else you'd just be depressed and miserable. Ask yourself what makes you attracted to both Adrian and Tyler, and then ask yourself what you want and what is important to you. If things align to one guy or to yourself, it's still a win for you." I didn't really understand what she meant so I asked, "You'd have to repeat that." "Look babes, it's perfectly o

    Tyler looked at him then dragged me to his side, still holding my arm, "It's like I haven't given you a proper thrashing yet…" "If you wanna go for it now, you can come on ahead. Let her go first." Adrian looked at me with empathy. "And who are you to tell me what to do?" "Let her go…" "Fuck my ass." Tyler said and spat at Adrian. Adrian smirked then cleaned his mouth with the back of his hand. He started walking towards us with a raised fist and just before he struck Taylor, I stood in front of Taylor and held Adrian's chest with my right hand. "No, please…don't…", Adrian looked at me in confusion as he lowered his fist. "Both of you should stop this please. Just stop everything…it's not helping anybody." I said, panting. Tyler still walked closer to Adrian so their faces were inches from one another, "If you think I'd let you take what's mine, you better think again. And I swear if I see you again, I'll tear you limb from limb." He brushed his shoulder as he walked past him

    The other pack hunters noticed my growing connection with Adrian, as a result of the number of hours I spent with him. Ever since the last incident, we had been cautious to not be seen alone so we planned to meet only at nights. When a month already passed, we got more comfortable talking during the day, as far as we were in the midst of others, except my father. The others disapproved of our connection, and their worried expressions showed their concern. It seemed like my involvement with Adrian had stirred up fear and uncertainty among them.One by one, pack members came to me (including people I had never talked to), looking worried and cautious. They spoke quietly, telling me to stay away from Adrian and break the bond between us. They warned me about the dangers of being with "someone like him" and going against our pack's traditions and values."You're our leader's daughter, you should know better." One guy who looked like Brad Pitt told me."I had asked you out not too long ag

    With her Jezebel-like voice, she did, "I was busy over there with Tiana trying to arrange the books in the library when Lily came up to me to tell me that if I thought I had won by getting you for myself, then I should think again. I asked her what she meant and she told me your mom didn't give birth to you. She said your father slept out to have you since your mom was barren and died that way. I asked her what proof she had to say such nonsense and she told me you told her yourself…" The more she spoke the more my mouth opened slowly. Her wicked smile played on her lips."That's enough! So tell me Lily, is that true?""Tyler, it seems you already believe her so whatever I say won't change anything.""So, she is right?"I rolled my eyes in annoyance and proceeded to leave but he blocked my way, "How dare you speak of my family like that? Have you no fear?""She's lying." I told him bluntly."And why would she do that?""Oh, I don't know because she wants both of us to argue and fight

    A pin drop could be heard.The vampire remained quiet. This obviously boiled my father's blood."Can't you speak?!"He remained in his ordeal, only returning the same death glare my father gave him."I'm coming, Sarah." She barely heard me since she was so focused on the vampire. Guess she was also fascinated too.I maneuvered my way to Adrian, feeling anxious and excited. I could see shock and recognition in his eyes. There was a connection between them that went beyond what I could guess. I wanted to know what had happened between them and how it would affect us now."Adrian…" I called to him, just a few people away from where he stood, but he didn't look away from the vampire."Adrian…" I called again but he didn't budge."If you won't talk, then we'll get the information out of you the hard way." My father commanded and waved his hands to signal the men to take him away to be locked up. "Meeting dismissed!"They held him roughly and as he was being dragged away, I could see the wa

    "I can't…""Of course you can't… You've become so weak, hiding yourself among these animals. You think you can hide from your true nature…" The vampire looked at Adrian with a piercing gaze and spoke in a scornful tone. Adrian's face showed the pain caused by those words."You cannot hide for so long…when they find out who you really are, you know they'll mercilessly kill you."I felt a chill run down my spine, realizing that the vampire's threats were serious. If Adrian was caught, the consequences would be severe. The vampire wasn't lying about that."That's not for you to curtail...tell me what you guys are planning to do.""I didn't tell that idiotic old man and you think it's you I'll tell?" He laughed, "I have already told you. Judgement is eminent and you will not escape it, if you continue to be an ally to them." I made a sound which made Adrian notice me hiding behind the statue, in the shadows. Surprise and concern crossed his face. I stood there, holding my chest, hoping

    Alarms were ringing around me. The escape was found out, and all hell broke loose in the grove. The others quickly jumped into action, their frantic footsteps bouncing off the ground as they they tried to track down Ethan.I couldn't decide if I should choose my friendship with Jaxon or prioritize the safety of the pack. Should I expose Jaxon's involvement in the escape? Or should I stay dumb about it, not knowing what kind of trouble it could cause? I had to figure out the reasons behind his actions first.Jax? Helping a vampire? How did that even make sense? Am I really sure I saw right?As the pack members spread out, determined to capture the vampire, I found myself at a crossroads facing a difficult decision. I couldn't ignore the fact that Jaxon had put our pack at risk, but I also couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to his actions than I knew.So, I decided to just keep my mouth shut and wait to see how things played out. I figured I'd only spill the beans about Jax

    Adrian looked around, maintaining his calm, "I had only shown the same disgust and bewilderment of seeing a vampire as the rest of the others did that evening, sir. There was nothing more to it." Poor Adrian. I wondered how he felt calling his own people disgusting… The room was tense, and I could feel the heavy weight of the accusations hanging over Adrian. I held onto Sarah's hand, unable to look away from the unfolding scene. "But why was he particularly looking at you?" "I didn't notice that, sir. I have never seen that creature before." With each denial from Adrian, my father's anger and suspicion grew stronger. As the interrogation went on, I could see the frustration and helplessness on Adrian's face. He tried to remain composed, desperately trying to prove his innocence to my father. But it was clear that my father had already made up his mind and believed that Adrian had a role in the vampire's escape. "Where were you last night?" "In my chambers, sir." "And who can

    ~ LILY'S POV~ I sat upright on the bed. I could hear my heart beating wildly, and felt beads of sweat clinging to my forehead. The dream, the same recurring dream, had invaded my sleep again. I felt a chill creeping through me as those words in the Lythian language echoed in my mind. Adrian, still half asleep beside me, sensed my restlessness and gently kissed my forehead. His voice was soft and soothing as he asked, "What's troubling you, luv?" I turned to him with widened eyes. I recounted the details of the dream. It's the second time I had that dream. I saw Cathro in the dream warning me about a certain "Darram" but she was speaking in Lythian language. Saying, "Beware, Darram comes soon and we fear you will be the last Guardian this realm will ever know." Adrian's concern was evident, but he didn't want to add to my distress. He pulled me close into his strong arms, and reassured me with the warmth of his presence. "You shouldn't think too much about it, at least not now. You

    Jaxon found himself behind a runty herb stall in the hidden market. The canopy above offered shade from the scorching sun. The cloaked man stood in front of him, carefully arranging an assortment of herbs in clay pots and glass bottles. Jaxon had come to appreciate the familiarity they both shared with nature's offerings.Jaxon took a deep breath and finally spoke, "The salves you've been giving me have been a great help to Tiana. Her scars are slowly healing, and I can't thank you enough for your help."The cloaked man nodded, his deep and wise voice always leaving Jaxon in wonder. "It's an honor to assist."Jaxon's eyes never left the cloaked man. He spoke with a sense of urgency in his voice. "Tiana's scars are fading, but her new wounds... they keep reopening. I know it's as a result of the remaining dark magic that's around her. I need something to ease her pain until I take her to the healers at the Cave"The cloaked man nodded, "I have just the thing, but be cautious. These her

    ×××××××××In the quiet of the night, Audrey was preparing herself for bed, or really, for Leo. She sat, fixing her hair while looking into the mirror. Her reflection stared back at her, and behind her, she sensed Leo watching. He lay on the bed, his eyes never leaving her.The night's silence was broken only by the gentle rustle of her clothing. As Audrey gazed at her own reflection, she couldn't help but remember the image of Leo's lifeless body. It was a haunting image that often crept into her thoughts, and tonight was no different.A shiver ran down her spine as she realized how frequently she feared his death. Audrey couldn't quite understand why his demise, or the mere thought of it, was such a constant source of dread for her. What would she do if he were to die again?Leo sensed the worry in her posture and voice, prompting him to ask, "What's the matter?"Rather than revealing her deep-seated fears, she shifted the conversation toward their recent meeting with Viktor.

    ×××××××××As Leo and Audrey stepped out into the courtyard, the air was filled with residual tension from the meeting. Leo nodded to his henchmen, silently instructing them to move forward and prepare the car for their departure. As they scurried off, leaving the two of them alone, Leo's demeanor changed.He swiftly pulled Audrey into his embrace. Her lithe form fitted perfectly against his own. It was a gesture that had become all too familiar between them. There was always a genuine attraction and the thrill of their dangerous partnership. Their flirtatious banter began as he gazed into her eyes, wanting to start something."It's about time I commend you for your loyalty. What you did back there -""Was nothing. I was tired of being in the midst of three grown-up men bickering like kids."Leo laughed and pulled her closer, "Oh, Audrey, you've been holding out on me. You've got a sense of humor buried in there."Audrey kept a straight face but he tightened his grip around her waist.

    ×××××××××The room was covered with such a thick tension as Viktor and Leo threw eachother assertive glares as they sat opposite eachother at the roundtable. The flickering chandeliers gave enough light to the polished wooden surface below it, and their henchmen stood behind them, ready to leap into action at any given moment.Leo's calculated move broke the silence. He nonchalantly tossed the Bodessa medallion onto the table, its precious metal clinking against the wood. His piercing eyes bore into Viktor's as he opened his mouth, "I brought this," Leo always sounded ambitious and too cocky, despite who he was addressing, "in exchange for men. I need more troops to raid the werewolf pack. It'll benefit the clan, and I know you've been planning a raid on one of their lower towns too. I could help with that."Viktor, the more composed and legitimate senior of the two, regarded the medallion for a moment. He gestured for one of his men to give it to him to which the latter did.

    THE WORLD OF "FORBIDDEN MATE"Someone once asked me about the world setting of the story since they saw elements of modern and mediaeval worlds in the story.This is your answer, dear:In Story 1, the setting and world are a blend of supernatural elements and modern-day life. The narrative features caves and packs, which are key components of the werewolf culture. These caves serve as communal spaces and dens for rebel groups, where they hold meetings, make important decisions, and discuss their strategies. The packs, as you already know, represent a strong sense of community and hierarchy.Amidst the supernatural background features, modern elements are also included into the story. This includes the presence of everyday technology like phones and digicams, used for communication and recording events. Weapons such as daggers are also part of this world which reflects the need for self-defense and conflicts that arise.The characters frequently visit bars, where they socialize, and so

    Out of nowhere, Audrey appeared. She was surrounded by a dark and eerie aura. Her eyes glowed with evil as she summoned the powers of her devil goddess, Ashtarah. The air around us crackled with strange energy.When she saw my present form, she seemed to rethink facing me but she proceeded still, "So you're a Guardian? An unworthy bitch like you?"I studied her."Why did you always have the good things, hunh?You should have never been born, Lily! You're my bane and I want you cut you off once and for all!""Your hatred will only lead you to your grave, Audrey!" I was trying to get to her."No! I will send you to your grave, right here!" But alas.With a furious battle cry, Audrey lunged at me, her claws extending like sharp blades. I quickly used my wings spreading wide to shield me from her attack. We clashed in mid-air, feathers and fur flying as we struggled for dominance.Ashtarah's power flowed into Audrey, making her incredibly strong and quick. She easily dodged my attacks wit

The clearing, once a peaceful neutral space, had now transformed into a battleground.Tyler stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Leo, "This ends here, Leo. We won't let you harm our pack any longer," Tyler declared with a resolute tone.Leo smirked, his fangs glinting in the moonlight. "Oh, dear Alpha boy king, you're so naive to think you can stop us. This is just the beginning of our dominance," he replied with a sinister chuckle."Chargeeee!" Tyler's voice echoed through the crowd."Make me some blood!" Leo shouted out and burst into incredulous laughter.As the armies clashed, the forest became a battleground. The air filled with fierce sounds of bodies colliding, claws slashing, and fangs biting.
