The air in the training room was heavy with concentration. The students, a mix of aspiring fighters and seasoned athletes, sat in a circle, their eyes fixed on Dominic, who stood in the corner watching them. His arms were folded, his expression, unreadable. His focus,however, was not just on the group, but on one person in particular.Fay felt the weight of his gaze, even if it was brief. She could feel his presence without seeing him directly. Her chest tightened.What's wrong with him? Why is he behaving like this? Questions raced through her mind as she tried to focus on the exercise at hand. She had done her best to push thoughts of Dominic's coldness out of her mind, but it was difficult."Fay, Lena," Dominic shouted, his voice cutting through the room. "Get up."Thy both got up simultaneously,they exchanged silent glances and nods at each other but they walked to the center of the circle. The others watched curiously as the two prepared for their training session.Fay could fe
“Here" The gamma thrust a bucket and a scrubbing brush into Fay's hands," Go get busy”Fay was looking worn out and weak from all the tasks she had been subjected to from the minute she was forced out of bed.The door to the staff's bathroom was held wide open and a stench rushed into her nostrils as she walked inside set for work.“Make sure you do that fast,you still have tons of work waiting for you" The gamma reminded her and shut the door .Fay placed the bucket down on the greasy floor and drew in a breath,she wiped her hands on the dirty apron she was wearing over her hand sewed clothes and glanced around the bathroom.Fay sighed and began to fill the bucket with warm water from the faucet.She added a small amount of detergent and stirred it in,creating a weak sudsy solution.She dipped the scrubbing brush into the bucket and wrung it out,then began to scrub the filthy floor.She started in the corner, working her way across the room in slow, meticulous strokes.The brush scra
Fay woke up to the sound of the door bursting open,her eyes adjusted at the bright light that drifted into her poorly furnished room from the door.“Put this on" The gamma said immediately she stepped in,thrusting a dress on the floor.“What is going on?" Fay asked silently, picking up the unattractive dress.“You must be stupid for asking me questions,your mate would be here in less than thirty minutes”The gamma snapped at her," Put that on immediately"In five minutes,Fay was walking out of the omega's quarters where she slept and through the dark corridors , following closely behind the gamma as they walked hurriedly to the main house.Fay's heart was pounding madly against her chest, threatening to burst out. Her legs were shaky as she walked quickly, trying to catch the pace of the gamma.“I heard she's going to see her mate today" An omega gossiped as they passed byAnother snorted,”She has bad luck,no one would want someone like her"“The Lord is just trying to get rid of her b
The gamma took Fay to continue with her harsh labour as if nothing had happened.Fay knew by now the news of her rejection must have gone around and she would be bullied even more by the omegas.She felt hurt and dejected and her heart bled with pain. She changed from the dress she wore to her normal clothes and as usual,she was given a bucket and a scrubbing brush.She worked in the dark corridor throughout the day without any food or water,her throat felt perched but she dared not ask for anything.The gamma left her there in the dark corridor as she knelt on the sharp granite floor, scrubbing the floor tiredly.Fay took a handful of water from the bucket and gulped down the dirty water she had used in scrubbing the floor She let the liquid flow down her throat and was relieved a little,her stomach rumbled as she stared down at the corridor,she sighed at the length that she had to cover.Fay wiped her sweaty forehead with the back of her hand and scrubbed harder so the gamma wouldn
A hand clasped her mouth and her eyes flew open ,it was dark and someone was hovering above her, pressing his hands to her lips.Fay wanted to let out a scream but it was muffled by the powerful hand against her mouth.Some people were in the room,the door was ajar and she could make out two huge figures standing by the door.What was going on?Her heart was pounding madly against her chest and she was panicking,she tried struggling with whoever it was that pulled her roughly out of the bed and dragged her to her feet.Another powerful hand twisted her hand painfully behind her and tied a cord around her wrist,the other hand still clasped to her mouth.Fay tried with all the strength she could gather to fight whoever it was but the person was just too powerful.A sharp pain came at her neck as the needle of a syringe dug into her neck and she felt something slid into her blood.Fay felt paralyzed to the bones,she fell back against the bed , looking up at the ceiling without being able
Fay's eyes fluttered open slowly,a rush of sunlight drove into her eyes and she shut them quickly with a grunt.She attempted to open her eyes again, slowly this time and squinted at the sunlight that was pouring from somewhere .Fay's eyes adjusted to where she was and she looked around.She was lying in a very soft bed,in a magnificent room…that was odd.Where was she?The question jammed into her head,she tried to get up but an ache ran through her body , settling on her head and she grimaced.She tried to recollect what had happened and what she was doing here but the more she tried,the more the pain jammed into her head.The door pushed open and some uniformed maids filed in,two of them wheeling a trolley filled with delicious food and drinks while others wheeled a cloth trolley.Fay watched them wheel them towards the bed and they turned to her,Fay tried to sit up irrespective of the pain and soreness she felt all over her body.“Where am I?" Fay asked silently“Good morning,ma'am
Fay stood in front of the large,ornatemirror,mesmerized by the reflection staringback at her. The harsh, rough edges of herpast had faded, replacedby the image of ayoung woman who looked almost like astranger.Her hair now ,brushed and shining, fell insoft waves around her shoulders and thetattered clothes that once clung to her skinin desperation had been replaced by asimple yet elegant dress that hugged hercurves in all the right places.For the first time in what felt likeforever,she didn't feel like the world wasclosing in on her. She stared at thedelicate sapphire necklace Dominic hadgifted her, its blue stone reflecting a lightthat almost seemed to glow.It was a small touch but it's made herfeel... Precious. Special, even. She inhaleddeeply, trying to ground herself but therewas still that lingering tension in her chest.The trauma she had endured was notsomething that could be wiped away with apretty dress or a new life in a mansion.The sound of footsteps
Dominic had been searching for hours.After the rigorous training session, he'dexpected to find Fay somewhere within thefacility, still working to master the basics.But when he'd checked the gym, theweight room, even the locker rooms, she was nowhere to be found.His Patience was wearing thin, not because he was angry but because he worried about her, about how she was feeling. She had so much potentials but the pressure of her new world ,the weight of it all had begun to crush her.It was when he was nearing the edge of the building ,walking along the perimeter near a small garden that he spotted her.She was alone, sitting on the edge of the company's outdoor pool,her legs dangling lazily in the water.Her back was turned to him and she looked small, almost fragile against the vastness of the steel walls that surrounded them. The contrast of her delicate form against the raw, industrial landscape made something inside Dominic twist with concern.He moved closer, his steps quiet

Domenic's car engine roared incessantly as they drove along the winding roads, the evening air cool and heralding night. The silence between them was thick and uncomfortable, the only sound coming from the occasional horn or tires scraping the asphalt. Domenic clutched the wheel tightly, his face frozen in a stern expression. Fay, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at him from time to time, the agitation rising in her chest. She expected the usual pleasantries, a few kind comments after the exercise, but he was distant, almost too distant. Fay shifted in her seat, trying to break the silence."Dominic?" Her voice was confused.He didn't answer. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead of them, as if all his attention was on the path they were taking.Fay frowned, feeling a pain in her heart she couldn't explain. "I didn't think you'd be so calm after training," she said softly, hoping for a reaction. Nothing. Her mind raced as she tried to
The soft light of morning filtered through the curtains, casting long shadows across the room. Alpha Roderick awoke slowly, his head pounding with a dull ache, and for a moment, he wasn't sure where he was. His senses were still clouded, the remnants of deep sleep clinging to his mind. He groaned softly, trying to push through the haze, but by by the pain in his temple was unrelenting."What sort of pain is this?" he muttered to himself, rubbing his forehead with a groan. He couldn't recall every detail, but he knew that something had shifted. He had been with Gwen, and the connection between them had felt stronger than ever. But there was something... different. His thoughts were muddled, as if a fog had settled over his mind.The weight of the night before still hung heavy in the air, but he couldn't quite place why it felt So... significant. A strange sensation lingered in his chest, a tugging pull towards Gwen that seemed deeper than anything he had felt before. Was it just their
The room was bathed in the soft, silvery light of the moon, casting a gentle glow across the space. The night air outside was still, almost as if the world itself was holding its breath for what was about to unfold. Gwen stood near the door, her heart pounding in her chest. The time had finally come the seven crescent days of waiting had led to this moment. She and Alpha Roderick had grown closer over time, their bond slowly becoming undeniable, but tonight,that bond would be solidified.She wore a delicate nightdress, made from soft, flowing satin. The fabric clung to her body in a way that felt almost ethereal, shimmering faintly with each movement. The nightdress was simple, yet it accentuated her form, its lavender hue complementing her skin in the softest way. As she stepped further into the room,Alpha Roderick's gaze met hers, and in that instant, Gwen could feel the weight of his attention.He was sitting at the edge of the bed, his broad shoulders relaxed but powerful, a ca
Dominic walked down the hallway, his footsteps echoing softly against the walls. The day had been long, the training intense, but his mind kept drifting back to the session with Fay. He had seen her progress—her moves were becoming sharper, more precise. As he strode through the hallway , a figure stepped out from the shadows, causing him to stop abruptly."Kara?" he asked, surprised to see her there. He hadn't heard her approach, and the way she stood, arms crossed, watching him with an unreadable expression, made him uneasy.She stepped closer, her eyes fixed on him with an intensity he hadn't noticed before. There was something different about her tonight. The warmth that had once been in her gaze now seemed absent, replaced by something sharper. "We need to talk," Kara said, her voice calm, but there was an edge to it, a hint of something that made Dominic pause."Talk?" he repeated, his mind trying to catch up.The last thing he needed was another emotional conversation, but he
Fay's body moved with an increasing fluidity, her fists and feet flowing in a rhythm that was no longer foreign to her. The man training her was a seasoned fighter, his movements sharp and calculated as he pushed her harder, testing her limits.Dominic stood at the edge of the training area, his arms crossed, watching intently. He had seen Fay stumble through the basics when she first arrived, but now, the girl was beginning to understand the art of combat. She was starting to respond faster, her defenses tighter, and her counters more effective. He couldn't help but smile to himself, a feeling of pride swelling in his chest.The man she was sparring with aimed a punch at her midsection, his fist cutting through the air with precision. Fay sidestepped quickly, but the punch landed with a sickening thud, knocking the air from her lungs. She staggered back, her face scrunching in pain as she fought to regain her balance.Dominic's smile disappeared instantly. His heartthudded in his ch
The night air was crisp and cool, wrapping around them like a blanket as Dominic walked Fay to her room. The moon, low and full in the sky, bathed the grounds in a soft silver glow, casting long shadows beneath the trees outside the mansion.They walked slowly down the quiet corridors,their steps seeming to echo in the stillness and Fay held her breath.They reached the door to her room, and Dominic held the door open for her,his gaze lingering on her.There was something in the way he looked ather...gentle, yet filled with an unspoken words. It was a look that seemed to say everything without needing words. He shifted slightly, running a hand through his hair, a nervous tension in the way he stood."Thank you," he said quietly, his voice low andsincere. "For tonight. For... everything."Fay's heart fluttered at his words. It wasn't just the gesture, the way he spoke them with such sincerity, but the warmth that seemed to emanate from him. She smiled softly, shaking her head."No, Do
"We should head home now" Dominic said .The cool night air wrapped around them as Dominic slowly lowered Fay onto the soft earth beneath the towering trees. There was something magical about the moment just the two of them, hidden in the embrace of nature, far from the world's prying eyes. The tension between them crackled in the air, thick with anticipation, a sense that the moment they were about to share had been building for so long.Fay's heart was racing, every nerve in her body alive with desire as she looked up at him. The way Dominic's eyes darkened with hunger made her pulse quicken. She reached out instinctively, her fingers brushing against his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart beneath his shirt. His body was warm, firm, and every inch of him seemed to beckon her closer.Without a word, Dominic moved toward her, his lips capturing hers in a kiss that was slow at first, exploratory his touch is soft but undeniable.The kiss deepened almost immediately, as if the
Fay's eyes fluttered open, her heart racing from the rapid ascent. The first thing she noticed was the vast, open sky above her—clear, endless, and stretching out in all directions. But that wasn't what made her breath catch. It was the breathtaking view below.They were perched atop an enormous tree, theheight so dizzying that Fay felt like she could reach out and touch the stars. The forest stretched out beneath them like a sea of green but as her eyes scanned the horizon, she saw the outline of the pack's territory spread out far below. It was overwhelming, humbling. Fay's heart leapt and she immediately clutched onto Dominic, her fingers digging into his shirt."Dominic!" she cried, her voice tinged with panic. "What— what are we doing up here? How...how did we get here?"Dominic, steady as always, laughed softly, a warm sound that seemed to carry with the wind" Relax,Fay. I wouldn't let you fall," he reassured her, his grip firm around her waist, keeping her steady.She could f
