With her ear pressed against the door, Dhara was trying to hear the conversation taking place outside of the room she was locked in. Ever since that strange man led her to this place—God knows what it looked like or where it was situated—she had been blindfolded, cuffed, and trapped in a room alone.

It smelled weird, too, as if the place hadn’t been used for a very long time and neither the windows had been opened, letting the warm rays of the sun and the fresh air in. Oddly, Dhara felt cold and uneasy, her skin prickling with weird sensations.

It was only when the hushed noises of two people conversing reached her ears that she realized someone else was there too. Earlier to this, the room had been awfully lifeless. Dhara was propelled to wonder if she was chucked into some harrowing dungeon of sorts

    After traveling for three days and two nights, Selene made it to a small village on Snowdrop mountain, a heavenly town in the snowy mountains where the ceremony of the Moon shower was organized once every seven years. They considered the day to be auspicious; the moon was said to be brighter and bigger than ever.However, instead of settling in the town and getting a room for rent, Selene camped on the outskirts of the deep and dark forest that surrounded the village. She had the money—her father had given her enough to last her for a month—but she felt more at ease lingering close to nature instead of the bustling town where only werewolves were known to live.It might also be because of the fact that she was there to take part in the ceremony. The thought made her jittery and a little nauseous. She wasn’t scared of the judgments in people’s eyes

    “WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?” Dhara screamed, her voice breaking out of the room, making the wolves minding their business outside in the hallway wince hard enough to crack their jaws. Not that Zayden felt any different. Never had anyone ever talked to him like that. With such disrespect. He almost had the urge to teach this girl a lesson. But his wolf had been at his throat since the moment those monsters abducted her. They both had been restless. Scared shitless. How did she manage to make his wolf act like a whimpering dog was par his wits? He couldn’t even begin to explain how torturous those long hours were for him and his wolf when they held her captive and didn’t allow them to have even a glimpse of her until it was dawn and they were satisfied with the trade. He told himself that b

    Dhara was tired. So damn tired.If it weren’t for someone knocking on the door, she wasn’t sure what would have happened. Honestly, she was dreadfully shocked by her ability to cave in to this man’s lust. Or perhaps he was simply exemplifying the lust of her own. Why else could she not push him away? Why wouldn’t her heart jolt with a protest at his advancements? Why did she feel like she wanted him to touch her in ways no one ever did? Why did she want to surrender herself to his will?Those were the questions that bothered her to the bones. Day and night. Right and left. On and off. There was no end to it. No end at all. He was a conundrum she wasn’t able to figure out. Like a puzzle, the pieces of which were way too complicated for her simple brain to comprehend. All that time he was far, she felt like she could do it. That everything was normal and t

    Dhara had run out of the room so fast, her head spun and her legs shook even long after she had shut herself in the room for almost an hour.It was just so weird.Not, not just weird. It was unbelievable. A meteor-shower kind of unbelievable. It just didn’t feel real. None of it did.Her chest rose and fell with untamed breathing while her eyes watered, panic settling deep into her bones. She didn’t know what to do, or how to handle this new piece of bizarre information. Was it even true? Everything that she had seen with her own two eyes. Or was it something cooked up by her own silly brain? It was so impossible to be sure. Or to believe in beings like him…Dhara shook her head and drew another rush of fresh air into her shocked lungs.

    Zayden glanced to his side and found Dhara lost in her thoughts. He knew she was lost because even though they had reached her apartment complex a few minutes ago, she hadn’t made a move. She kept staring out the window, her breathing steady, her body relaxed, but her mind? Her mind was at war with itself. He could tell. He could almost feel it in his bones. And dammit, he wished he could give her a bit of respite from all these overwhelming emotions and the conflict that she was clearly fighting with herself. But if there was anything the Alpha male had learned from his past experience, it was that one had to face their demons alone. He could assure her, support her, and give her a shoulder to worry on for all he wanted, but the truth was that no one knew her better than she knew herself. If there was anyone who could help her right now, it was her own wisdom and her strength. No one else. Quietly, he sighed, running a hand through his dark hair. A part of his was glad and overjo

    Dhara couldn’t sleep all night, but that was expected of her, considering the kind of week she had spent. God, she still couldn’t believe it. Now that she was back in her safe haven—her home—the realization of what had transpired in the last few days started to slam into her chest with a force that made her eyes go round with shock and her mouth drop open in disbelief.Fuck! Who could have thought, though? Who could have thought that creatures like werewolves and witches existed? That they lived among humans with no trace of suspicion at all. That the world was crammed with so much more than she or any normal person understood.Rising from the bed, Dhara quietly moved away and found herself standing in front of the dressing table. She saw herself wearing an extra-large t-shirt as a nightdress and noticed her dark hair piled up on top of her head, making her look even messier than she felt inside.

    “How can the moon goddess be so vicious?” Zayden thundered aloud, his body convulsing with the blind rage galloping through his bones. “How could she do this to us? How?” Standing behind the furious man, Dhara trembled with all her being. Her heart raced amok in her chest, and her knees threatened to buckle. Her alpha’s rage exploded throughout the bare room and brought sickness to her soul. Seeing him hurting and on the brink of shattering made her feel horrible about herself and their unfortunate circumstances. But what could she really do? The moon goddess molded her destiny with her own capable hands, or so she was told, and who could ever go against the goddess? However, despite all the red flags and anger visibly pouring out of Zayden, Dhara sucked in a deep breath and took one more step closer to where he stood. Despite the absence of physical contact between them, she could easily sense the rumble beneath his chest as if it were her own. He was burning up with anger, frustra

    Zayden groaned out of sheer frustration when the pounding on the door of his room refused to cease. What the fuck was going on outside? He grunted to his wolf, who only rolled his sleepy golden eyes before letting them fall shut and sleep. Zayden didn’t like the way his wolf treated him these days. Nothing pleased him. Nothing seemed to fetch his attention unless they were on a hunt or sprinting wildly through the woods, panting and wheezing out of breath. Other times, his wolf either snorted or ignored the man completely. As for now, his wolf seemed to be in ignoring mode, and that frustrated the male like anything. Shaking his head, Zayden got to his feet and stretched his broad arms out. The mirror across the room reflected a fine specimen of a man: tall height, bulky shoulders, and firm muscles in all the right places. Among all the men in the pack, Alphas were known to be much more endowed and powerful. They were the epitome of strength, dominance, and command. Not to forget,

    “But how can this happen, Grandma? How can a girl be a healer?” Jasmine questioned, her features contorted in a deep frown, her hands clasped into fists as she peered at the translucent form of her late great-grandmother. “Isn’t it against nature? Isn’t it…cruel?”No. She did not understand this, and could not wrap her head around the twisted game the universe was playing. It was outrageous, really. There was a reason a female could not be a healer. Even though in the eyes of the gods and goddesses, a woman and a man held an equal place, there were several matters and obligations only a certain gender could carry out.“It is,” the old woman agreed, her quiet eyes staring into the vast space between the two of them. Her white hair was just as white as the glow of her appearance. “But we are only humans. Never forget that. How do we know what this scheme of nature is?”

    Dhara blinked several times, but the sight in front of her remained the same. Zayden and Jules were staring at her as if she had grown two more heads over her neck. Well, what the hell?“It’s OK. There’s nothing to worry about,” Jules said after a while, waving a hand as if to dismiss the frown slowly deepening upon Dhara’s forehead.Her gaze shipped back to Zayden. He was standing near the door, not sure when he even got there, but even if she was curious, she held it back well and gave Jules a gentle nod instead.Turning back to face the table across from which Jules sat, Dhara peered down at her hands. A few minutes back when Jules asked all of them to hold each other hands and meditate, she had felt her palms growing hot as hell. As if someone had set them on fire. It did not hurt, though. No, not at all. In fact, the warmth was fairly calm, seeping out of all the pores of her body. But now that the warmth was gone and also any physical contact with either of them, strangely, she
