Denera

"Oh, my dear Denera! Look at this exquisite hand-stitched cradle!" Granny Yeneva exclaimed, her voice practically vibrating with excitement as she held aloft a tiny, intricately carved cradle. "It's made from the finest oak, imported from the heartwood of the Whispering Woods. Such craftsmanship! It's perfect for a little prince or princess."

I smiled politely, trying to suppress a yawn. The sheer volume of baby-related gifts was starting to feel overwhelming. It wasn't that I didn't appreciate the thoughtfulness, but the endless stream of tiny clothes, rattles, and bassinets was beginning to feel a bit repetitive.

"It's beautiful, Granny Yeneva," I said, trying to sound enthusiastic. "I'm sure it will be well-loved."

Granny Yeneva beamed, her eyes sparkling with delight. "Oh, I have no doubt about that, my dear. You and Rockan will make the most wonderful parents."

I glanced at Rockan, who was seated beside me on the plush velvet cushions, his expression unreadable. He had bee

    Denera “We finally found a teacher who could teach you about your powers.”Excitedly, I stood at the entrance gates of the castle, wondering who the teacher was. I was so carried away with the Luna ceremony that I had almost forgotten about the side of me that healed people with a touch. "Who is it?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper, as I paced back and forth, my gaze fixed on the imposing castle gates. "Tell me, Rockan, who is this teacher?"Rockan chuckled, his amusement tinged with a hint of exasperation. "Relax, Denera," he said, his voice laced with a warmth that always calmed my nerves. "You're practically vibrating with excitement."He reached out, his hand gently cupping my cheek, his thumb tracing the soft curve of my jawline. "I know you're eager to learn, but there's no need to rush. We'll have plenty of time for you to explore your abilities."His touch, so familiar, so comforting, did little to quell the storm of emotions swirling within me. My mind raced, conjuring i

    Denera"Good morning Luna," a maid walked up to me with a smile and a curt bow. The whole idea of calling me by a title I didn't work for was still very unsettling to me, but I decided against cutting her off. "Oh good morning," I replied, mirroring her smile."You haven't had breakfast all morning and it's almost noon," her eyes were turned to her feet as she spoke to me, making it more unsettling that they think so highly of me. I was once a maid too, and the deference they showed me still felt unnatural."Oh, I got too distracted by the gift opening," I laughed nervously, trying to brush off the awkwardness. Before making a decision on whether to stay where I was or to leave with the maid and finally eat, I looked over at Adrianna, who stood quietly as she picked some flowers. Rockan had left me with her outside a few minutes ago, and I couldn't really bring myself to have a proper conversation with her. There was still an air of uncertainty and unfamiliarity between us.Then my

    Denera I walked into the room that was now meant to be a classroom where I learned about my healing powers. Hours had passed since the commotion Tyris and Rockan caused, and the sun was already setting, casting a warm glow over the space.The place almost looked like a laboratory, which was surprising to me, as I had assumed the teachings would be mostly theoretical. Rows of shelves lined the walls, filled with various vials, jars, and other equipment that I couldn't quite identify.Adrianna's heels clicked on the tiled floors as she strolled around me. "Today is an introduction to who and what you are," she announced, her voice smooth and authoritative.Her hair flowed down her back gracefully, and her tight leather pants fitted her body well. She had taken her jacket off and was left with just a sleeveless top, revealing toned arms. Her familiar scent made me remember when I first met her at the meeting Rockan had taken me to. I had to admit that she had a striking and captivating

    Denera It didn’t take long for the day to finally come to an end. Rachel just left for the day. The events of the day had been very busy, and as I sat in front of the mirror, staring at my own reflection, the weight of it all began to sink in. It was almost like a dream come true to think how much my life had changed in such a short time.Not long ago, I was trapped in a nightmare of my own - a victim of my uncle and aunt's cruelty, subjected to their twisted ideas of slavery and punishment. They saw me as nothing more than something they could get rid of by selling me off to a pack and a mysterious leader they were sure would end my life.But fate had other plans. When Freya, my cousin who had also hurt me, saw that I was now the Luna of the most powerful pack, the look of shock and disbelief on her face was very satisfying. I couldn't help but wonder how her parents must have felt, knowing that the child they had so carelessly cast aside had risen to a position of power and respe

    RockanI undressed her slowly, savouring each moment as I peeled away her clothes. My eyes drank in every inch of her exposed skin, lingering on the curves of her body, the rise and fall of her chest as her breath quickened with anticipation. I started by trailing soft, lingering kisses along her neck, feeling her pulse throb beneath my lips. I move to her collarbone, biting gently, just enough to make her shiver.“You have a really beautiful body,” I whispered to her and I enjoyed watching her shiver. As my hands explored her body, I made sure to take my time, caressing the soft curve of her hips, and the smooth skin of her stomach. I unhook her bra, feeling the weight of her breasts fall in my hands, teasing her nipples with the pads of my thumbs until they harden under my touch. I want to hear the gasp that escapes her lips, feel her body arch toward me, begging for more.“You make me feel beautiful,” her voice was shaky but she managed to speak up. I kissed my way down her sto

    Denera….“Denera…”I found myself back in that damned forest, the twisted trees and shadows closing in around me. "Denera..." The voice sent a chill down my spine, a familiar yet deeply unsettling tone that filled me with fear.I whipped my head around, searching for the source, but the thick foliage obscured any sign of another presence. My heart raced as I realized I was trapped in this nightmarish place once again. But this time, I was not the scared little girl I once was - my body had transformed, shifting into Sevyn’s wolf form. Still, the gut-wrenching dread crept up my spine, the instinct to flee overwhelming my senses."Run, Denera!" the voice commanded, and without hesitation, I took off, my paws pounding against the forest floor, snapping twigs and kicking up leaves in my desperate sprint. My muscles strained as I pushed myself to run faster, deeper into the woods, away from the unseen threat."Help!" I cried out, my wolfish howl echoing through the trees. I needed her p

    Denera It was all happening too fast. As I peered out from the shadows of the corridor, observing the bustling activity in the grand hall, a sense of both amusement and anxiety washed over me. The guests, all dressed in their finest attire, mingled about, their laughter and chatter filling the air with tangible energy. It was clear that they were eagerly awaiting my arrival – the guest of honour whose birthday they had gathered to celebrate.Me…“Us,” Sevyn argued in my head. “It is our birthday, remember?”I rolled my eyes, knowing that she was as happy as I was at the moment. A part of me wanted to believe it was a dream or even a prank. Another part of my new life that was too good to be true. Maybe I was going to get out there and the whole room filled with werewolves would burst into laughter upon my arrival. Having my birthday celebrated and acknowledged by others was just too good to be true. And despite the festive atmosphere, I found myself rooted to the spot, unable to

As we approached the top of the stairs, I could feel the weight of countless expectant gazes upon me, the soft murmur of conversation gradually fading into an anticipatory hush.Pausing for a moment, I took a deep, steadying breath, my gaze sweeping across the sea of unfamiliar faces.

    DENARA’S POV I had nowhere else to go now. The darkness enveloped me like a heavy blanket, and I could feel the chill of the night seeping into my bones. It was probably past midnight, a dangerous hour for anyone to be wandering alone, especially a woman. My heart raced with the thought of what could happen if I encountered the wrong person.But then a thought struck me like a beacon of hope. “The Smith’s bar,” I gasped, a wave of relief washing over me. It was always open through the night, a sanctuary amidst the chaos of my life.Mr. Smith had always been kind to me, a rare warmth in a world that often felt cold and unforgiving. He had given me shelter whenever my home became unbearable, always treating me like family. The memory of his reassuring smile filled me with a sense of safety as I quickened my pace, eager to reach the familiar haven.Each step felt both urgent and heavy, a mixture of gratitude and determination swirling within me. I could still hear Freya’s words echoin

    DENARA’S POV “Denera,” I froze in my tracks, my breath catching in the back of my throat. My eyes widened as the reality of the situation hit me.Someone saw me.“Oh my goodness, it is you.” The voice was unmistakable, sending a chill down my spine. I turned slowly, hoping against hope that I was imagining things.“Freya,” I breathed, my heart racing as dread washed over me. A long pause stretched between us, her frown deepening as she struggled to comprehend my presence. At that moment, I felt exposed and vulnerable. The fear of being recognized and outed gripped me like a vice. “What’re you doing here?” she asked, suspicion lacing her words as her eyes roamed over me, assessing, searching for any sign of wrongdoing.She probably thought I had come to steal from them. The thought of that made my pulse quicken, and I stood frozen, my mind racing with the potential consequences. She might end up calling out to her parents, if Aunt Rosa and Uncle Austin found me here, I knew exactly

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    A discovery

    DENARA’S POV It was dark and cold. I should’ve worn thicker clothing. The chill seeped through the layers I had on, biting at my skin and making my teeth chatter as I navigated the familiar but haunting terrain toward my old pack. Each step felt heavier than the last, the weight of memories pressing down on me like a dense fog.“Why did I think this was a good idea?” I muttered to myself, trying to break the silence that surrounded me. The only response was the rustle of leaves and the distant hoot of an owl, a reminder that I was alone in this endeavor.After about an hour of walking, I finally spotted the outline of the cottage behind Aunt Rosa and Uncle Austin’s house. The place where I had spent so many years felt like a ghost now, a shadow of the life I once lived. I crouched low, moving quietly to avoid drawing attention to myself. “Just get in, grab your things, and get out,” I whispered, forcing myself to stay focused. I didn’t want to linger, didn’t want to remember the pa

    ROCKAN’S POVI overreacted. I felt the weight of that realization pressing down on me like a heavy burden. Things spiraled out of control in my mind, and I lashed out. I didn’t mean what I said to her; deep down, I knew she loved me. Yet the anger simmered just beneath the surface, fueled by the unsettling thought that she could be using me. But who wouldn’t?Denera was maltreated by her own family, and when she finally found herself in a position of power, of course, she would seek revenge. It was only natural.“I messed up,” I groaned, running my hands through my hair, gripping it tightly as if I could physically pull myself back from the edge of despair. In an attempt to clear my mind, I took a walk out of the castle, but the night had already settled in, wrapping the world in a cloak of darkness. The cool breeze brushed against my skin, its crispness helping to ease the tension coiling within me. I took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air, but it did little to calm the storm

    Denera’s POVHe hated me.They both hate me now. I wouldn’t blame Rockan for his anger; I used him. He loved me, but I deceived both him and myself. The weight of that realization crushed me, pressing down with an unbearable force. My world spiraled around me, a chaotic whirlpool of regret and despair. Tyris was right. I believed my world here with them would be rainbows and sunshine, a fairytale in real life but now, I was trapped in a nightmare of my own making.The truth struck me like a physical blow: I was a burden to them, to everyone. The walls of the castle felt like they were closing in, the air thick and suffocating. Each breath became a struggle as Tyris’s words replayed in my mind, echoing like a relentless drumbeat. “You’re nothing but a burden.” The anxiety twisted in my stomach, a knot of fear tightening with every thought. I could almost feel the stone walls pressing closer, as if they were conspiring to suffocate me. I needed to find Rockan, to apologize, to expla

    TYRIS’ POVI heard it all—the dispute between my brother and Denera. At first, I was furious to know they were still together after he revealed that side of him. But as the reality sank in, I found myself lost in thought. It disgusted me to acknowledge that they were both in love with each other. This was the perfect opportunity to get a hold of her. Maybe this time, she would finally see that I was the only one who could handle her with care and understanding.“Denera,” I called out, and she immediately turned on her heels. Her mind seemed occupied, like a storm brewing behind her eyes, but when she caught sight of me, I noticed the shift in her demeanor—her posture stiffened, her expression closed off.It was annoying how she looked at me, like I was the last person she wanted to see.“Prince TYRIS,” she replied, her voice lacking warmth. She didn’t even bother to take a step closer.“What’s going on?” I questioned, feigning ignorance. “You seem troubled.”“I’m looking for Rockan,”

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    The lingering question

    DENARA’S POVWe didn’t talk after the library incident. Rockan and I could barely even meet eye to eye. The weight of his earlier question hung heavily between us, an unspoken barrier that seemed to grow thicker with every second that passed. I felt the distance between us, an ache in my chest that I couldn’t shake off.The ceremony came to a close sooner than I anticipated, and the room began to empty as Alphas and their Lunas departed to their respective territories and packs. I watched them go, feeling a mix of relief and exhaustion. All I wanted was to retreat into the comfort of my room, away from the world and the weight of expectations. I stood in front of the mirror, practically glaring at my reflection. The day’s events played over in my mind, and I felt the frustration simmering just beneath the surface. Rachel was undoing the pins holding my hair up, letting the strands fall freely around my shoulders. The thought of a hot bath after a long day filled me with a sense of

    DENARA’S POV“Denera,” Bruno insisted, pulling me back but I felt Rockan’s protective presence looming in the back of my mind as I glared at him almost immediately. Before I could react further, I felt Rockan’s hand gently brush against my shoulder, grounding me. “Is there a problem here?” he asked, his voice low and steady.Bruno straightened, his demeanor shifting as he met Rockan’s intense gaze. “No problem at all, Alpha,” he said quickly, stepping aside. “Just catching up with your Luna.”Rockan’s grip tightened slightly around my waist, and I could feel the tension in his body. “Let’s keep it civil, shall we?” he said, his tone firm.I stepped past Bruno, grateful for Rockan’s presence. As we moved back into the crowd, I felt a rush of relief wash over me, knowing I wouldn’t have to deal with Bruno’s antics for the time being. “Are you okay?” Rockan asked, concern etched on his face as we navigated back into the festivities. His brow furrowed slightly, and I could see the tensi

    Denera“It’s an honor to be here, Alpha Rockan,” Bruno said, that infuriating smirk still plastered on his face. I held back the instinct to hiss at him. Instead, I focused on the floor, feeling the tension in the air rise. “Thank you,” Rockan replied curtly, nudging my side gently. I felt his urge for me to respond, forcing me to give both of them a curt bow of apprehension. It was the last thing I wanted to do, but I followed his lead, knowing that I had to maintain calmness.My anger towards them knew no bounds. Heaven knew I wanted them to rot in suffering. They were the exact offspring of the wickedness their parents bore in their hearts, and now they were in my pack, pretending to be at peace with me. I could feel the resentment boiling beneath the surface, but I promised myself I would show my best behavior in front of the other Alphas. These two would not ruin that for me.They turned away from us to mingle with the rest of the crowd, and Rockan’s hand snuck its way around
