Denera

I shuffled restlessly on the bed, my mind buzzing with anticipation rather than the restful sleep I so desperately needed. Despite the exhaustion of the dance, the adrenaline coursing through my veins refused to subside, leaving me wide awake and restless.

Glancing over at the big wall clock on the mantel, I saw that it was only just past 2 o'clock. Surely Rachel would be waiting outside, expecting me to be resting as I should be.

But the thought of staying cooped up in my room while the preparations for the ceremony were underway was simply too much to bear.

With a resigned sigh, I pushed myself up from the bed, smoothing down the soft fabric of my shirt and pulling up my shorts. Perhaps a brief stroll through the castle would satisfy my curiosity and allow me to stretch my legs before the ceremony tomorrow.

As I opened the door, Rachel's concerned face greeted me. "My lady! I thought you would be resting."

I offered her a reassuring smile. "I'm afraid I just can’t settle dow

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    The wrong guest

    Denera The day had finally come. The day my life changes drastically, from a poor slave girl to the Luna of the most powerful pack. Very unbelievable cliche when you think about it. But it was my reality. "Breathe in!" Rachel commanded, and I obeyed. The two maids behind me swiftly tugged on the strap laces, tightening the corset around my waist. The pressure was almost uncomfortable, but I knew it would be worth it in the end."Perfect!" Rachel exclaimed, a satisfied smile spreading across her face. She stepped back, allowing me to fully appreciate the reflection in the mirror.The dress was a vision of ivory satin and intricate lace, tailored perfectly to my frame. The long sleeves hugged my arms, and the bodice accentuated my curves in a way that made me feel both regal and alluring. As the maids worked their magic, my plain features were transformed.They smoothed the foundation over my skin, creating a flawless canvas. Delicate strokes of eyeshadow enhanced my eyes, making the

    BrunoI stared at the ceremonial invitation, my heart racing with a mix of hope and trepidation. The names etched on the parchment seemed too unbelievable to be true – Rockan and Denera. Could it really be her?Freya's voice cut through the deafening silence, her grip on my arm tightening. "I've told you," she said, her tone firm, "it's not her."I glanced over at her, not believing her words. We had been driving for nearly an hour, making our way to the Dark Lion pack's territory. The invitation was extended to every alpha under the Dark Lion's rule, with the opportunity to bring a plus one.I begged my mother to accompany me, but she insisted that I bring Freya instead. Now, as I held the invitation in my trembling hands, I couldn't help but wonder why.It wasn't until this morning that I finally took a closer look at the invitation, and that was when I saw it – the names that set my heart racing: Alpha Rockan and Denera.Denera? Could it really be her? The girl I had thought lost t

    Denera“Bruno…” Sevyn, my wolf finally spoke. I blinked several times, my breath catching in my throat as I stared into the piercing gaze of Bruno. He looked as if he had seen a ghost, and I knew the expression mirrored my own."What is he doing here?" Sevyn's voice growled, the anger and disbelief vivid. "After all he's done, he dares to show his face?"I felt the tension coiling within me, a mix of shock, fear, and resentment. Bruno, the man who had so callously rejected me and banished me from his pack, stood mere feet away, his eyes locked onto mine with an unreadable intensity."This can't be happening," I whispered, my fingers trembling as I gripped the bouquet of flowers in my hands. "He has no right to be here."Sevyn's growling rose, her presence in my mind a constant reminder of the pain and humiliation I endured at Bruno's hands. "We should tear him apart, Denera. Make him pay for what he's done."I swallowed hard, my gaze shifting to the familiar face of Freya, my cousin

    Denera“Denera,”Bruno…I felt my once disoriented emotions and voice become monotone in an instant as I glared at him. "What are you doing here?" "I..uh.." he started, trailing off as he rubbed the back of his head. "I came to see you. Do you recognize me?""Of what importance is it to recognize you?" I retorted, my face turning into a frown. "It's my Luna ceremony, so I suppose you didn't have a choice, all Alphas were meant to be here," I stated, hoping the conversation would come to an end and he would leave."You..." he paused, "you look different. A good type of different.""Yes, we're no longer on our knees serving or begging you. Now you bow before us instead." Sevyn said with a scoff, and I could almost see her roll her eyes."What are you doing here?" I repeated my question sternly."I really did want to see you. I need to talk to you and it's important," he clasped his hands together, and he looked like he was about to cry, but I couldn't care less."Well, talk then," I sa

    Denera“Leave and don’t let me ever set eyes on you again,” Rockan ordered and I felt my heart sink in an instant. My breathing quickened and my eyes shut close as I tried to hold back my tears. It felt like I was being rejected all over again, my whole body was going to fall apart, and I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me. “Yes, Alpha,” Bruno responded and a forced sigh left my mouth. I opened my eyes to see Bruno walking away from us and I couldn’t help a smile that grew at the corners of my lips. I was holding my breath, bracing for the fallout, but Rockan's words were not directed at me. I opened my eyes, blinking away the tears, and saw Bruno walking away. Relief flooded through me, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips. But the reprieve was short-lived as I turned my gaze back to Rockan. His expression was one of obvious displeasure, his eyes narrowed and mouth set in a hard line. "You have an ex-mate?" The low rumble of his voice sent fresh shivers of fe

    Denera“Also, as a gift for your new position as Luna. I’m giving you a blank cheque. Ask for anything and I will see to it that it is done.”The room felt heavy with the echoes of the celebration outside. The ceremony had not ended yet. Laughter and music filtered through the thick wooden door, but the sound seemed distant, almost otherworldly. The world outside felt like a different realm, separated from the emotions swirling within me.I took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm that had been brewing since I laid eyes on them—Bruno and Freya. I never believed I would even set eyes on them so soon. Then Bruno had the audacity to approach me. Rockan cleared his throat, drawing me out of my thoughts, his presence a steadying force. The sight of him, with his imposing figure and that ever-present mask had always brought a strange mix of comfort and unease. He was my mate, my Alpha, but also a man of many secrets—secrets I hadn’t yet uncovered. But tonight, he had just offered the

    DeneraI missed his touch so badly.His kiss deepened, his hand moving to the back of my neck, pulling me closer. I responded in kind, my arms wrapping around him, holding on as if letting go would mean losing his touch forever. There was a desperation in our kiss, a need that had been building for so long, finally finding its release.When we finally pulled away, both of us were breathless, our foreheads resting against each other's as we tried to catch our breath. Rockan's hands were still on me, his touch grounding me, reminding me that this was real, that he was real."Denera," he whispered, his voice rough with emotion. "I've been waiting for this moment, for the ceremony to be over, so I could finally hold you like this. But I also don't want to rush you. We have all the time in the world now."I shook my head, a small smile playing on my lips. "I don't want to wait anymore. I've waited my whole life for something like this, for someone like you.

    Tyris“Lord Tyris, slow down,” Serena cried out. She was actually crying. I had her in my clutch for less than thirty minutes and I could already see tears dropping from her eyes. Pathetic. “Shut up!” I ordered, my hand meeting with her cheek and tapping it profusely. Grabbing her legs, I hung them on my shoulders, shoving my length even deeper inside her as she screamed out. I couldn’t even tell if she would actually survive or pass out but I knew I was enjoying her moans, screams, and cries. She came twice already and I still was not done with her. Heck, she wasn’t here to be pleased. She came here, voluntarily, to please me. I warned Serena often but she always came back here for more, so no matter how much she begged or cried out for me to stop, she knew I never listened until I was satisfied. Knowing this, she could have easily avoided me, to equally avoid my wrath on her in bed, but for some reason, Serena always came crawling back. “Maybe she has a pain kink?” Nile, my w

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    Gratitude

    DENARA’S POV My eyes felt heavy, too heavy to open. Every nerve in my brain pulsed with pain as my head throbbed, a dull ache that seemed to echo in the quiet room. It took a while for me to gather the strength to finally crack my eyelids open, the morning light spilling in like a gentle reminder of the world outside.As I blinked into focus, memories of the night flooded back: the tears, the heartache, the overwhelming sadness that had consumed me. I had spent the entire night curled up, sobbing into the sheets, feeling utterly lost. Rockan was the only one who could bear witness to my pain, holding me close, and whispering comforting words that felt like a lifeline amidst my despair. Turning my head slowly, I looked at him. Rockan was fast asleep, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. He had been through so much, yet here he was, the man I loved, resting peacefully beside me. My heart swelled with gratitude as I gazed at his mask-less face, a sight I had longed to se

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    An overwhelming loss

    DENARA’S POV The world around me felt like a haze, a blur of voices and shadows. I blinked slowly, trying to piece together the chaos that had erupted. I had thought I passed out but I didn’t. I couldn’t, it was like the pain wanted me to feel every bit of it.My body was heavy, weighed down by the remnants of pain, but there was a soothing numbness spreading through me, courtesy of the anesthetic shot I had received.As the wave of anesthesia began to lift, I blinked against the bright light that filled the room. My heart raced, and the world around me slowly came into focus. The sterile smell of antiseptic mingled with something else—something warm and familiar. And then I saw him. It wasn’t a dream all along and I was definitely not dead. “Rockan,” I breathed, my voice a mere whisper, but it felt like a shout in the silence of the room. The sight of him propped up against the pillows, his hair tousled and eyes bright, filled me with a wave of relief. It felt like I had been los

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    Moment of chaos

    TYRIS’ POV “Sir, your attention is needed quickly.” The urgency in the maid's voice snapped me from my thoughts. I turned, my heart racing as I searched her eyes for any hint of good news. My brother had been in critical condition, and every minute felt like an eternity. “What is going on?” I asked, forcing myself to remain calm, though my insides churned with anxiety.“I was asked to call you down to the emergency ward,” she replied, her voice steady but lacking the reassurance I desperately sought. “The emergency ward?” The words felt heavy on my tongue, and a sinking sensation settled in my stomach. I forced my legs into action, propelling myself through the hallway of the hospital, each step a frantic prayer that the news would be good.As I approached the entrance to the emergency ward, I paused, staring at the glaring sign that loomed above me. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. Whatever had happened to Rockan, it couldn’t be good. I braced myself for wh

    ROCKAN’S POV I was floating, enveloped in a vast nothingness. I couldn’t feel or move my body. It was dark and quiet, so quiet that it was almost deafening.“Am I dead?” I thought to myself. There was no one to talk to, and I couldn’t even move my mouth to think out loud.“Is this punishment for all my misdeeds?”The weight of my past decisions pressed down on me. There was no way I could have died so easily; my life and goals had not been achieved.Denera...I missed my mate. An ache settled in my chest as I longed to see her, to tell her how much I loved her. It felt as though I hadn’t said it enough, or shown it enough. But I did love her, fiercely and without reservation.Tyris would never forgive me if I died. I really owed him an apology, too.“No…” A faint wind blew past me, carrying the sound of a voice. Was I imagining things?“What’s happening?”The same voice echoed again, almost recognizable, yet just out of reach.I held my breath, hoping I was not imagining it. Then the

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    Determination and effort

    DENARA’S POV The air in the hospital room was thick with tension as everyone quietly cleared out, leaving the three of us—Luna Danielle, Adrianna, and me—standing by Rockan’s bed. The murmurs from the pack outside faded into a dull roar, and I felt my heart race. This was it. This was my chance to finally prove myself to Rockan and the pack. Panic and anxiety was an understatement to what I felt in that moment. “His life is in your hands, save him,” Luna Danielle urged, her voice steady yet laced with urgency. I nodded, though anxiety gripped me like a vice.As the door swung shut, sealing us in, I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. Rockan lay there, still and vulnerable, the mask from his previous injuries now removed. The sight of him sent a wave of emotions crashing over me—fear, love, and desperation all mingled together. “Let’s begin,” Adrianna said, her tone serious as she approached Rockan’s bedside. She gently placed her hands on his shoulders, her expre

    DENARA’S POV “Step one is complete,” Adrianna murmured, her voice filled with a mix of excitement and anticipation.“Now it’s step two,” Luna Danielle added, her gaze steady on me as I blinked in disbelief, trying to wrap my head around what that meant.“There’s more?” I deadpanned, my mind racing with the implications.“Yes,” Adrianna responded, her tone serious. “We can’t give you a full life form to heal unless you’ve tested it. Plus, the note never said anything about waking him up from the coma. I think it was only to heal the scar.”My heart sank as I processed her words. “What if he never wakes up—”“No, no, no, negativity will not fix anything. Adrianna, quiet,” Luna Danielle interjected sharply, shooting a scornful look at Adrianna. She then picked up a flower pot and handed it to me. I accepted it hesitantly, staring at the pot that was filled only with soil. “What am I supposed to do now?” I asked, confusion swirling in my mind.“What do you think?” Adrianna teased, her p

    DENARA’S POV The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm glow over the garden where I had spent a few afternoons with Adrianna, learning about herbs and potions. The familiar scents of lavender and rosemary filled the air, but today, the atmosphere felt charged with urgency. A day had gone by before the healers could reach our pack. As I approached, I could see Luna Danielle, and Adrianna deep in conversation, their expressions serious. Luna Danielle, with her long, flowing hair and strong demeanor, looked every bit the leader I remembered. She also had a big resemblance that showed she was my mother’s cousin, a woman who had always embodied grace and strength. “Denera!” Adrianna called out, her eyes lighting up as she spotted me. “We’ve been waiting for you.”“Is it true?” Luna Danielle asked, her voice steady but concerned. “About the masked alpha?”I nodded, swallowing hard. “Yes. I found a letter from my mother that might hold the key to helping him.”“Oh I knew your mother wo

    DENARA’S POV “Oh my goodness,” I gasped, my heart racing as realization dawned on me. “Where is that letter?!”I bolted towards my room, desperation fueling my every step. The memory of the letter had slipped my mind in the chaos of recent events, but now it felt like a lifeline. I had to find it.“My lady, please tell me what is happening!” Rachel called out, struggling to keep pace behind me.I didn’t have time to explain. The anticipation bubbled within me, an urgent need to uncover the answers hidden within that letter. My mind raced with thoughts of Rockan and the implications of what I might find.As I flung open the door to my room, I felt a rush of panic. The room was a whirlwind of clothes and papers, remnants of my frantic state. I scanned the space, searching for any sign of the letter.“Where is it?!” I muttered, launching myself onto the bed, my hands clawing through the sheets and scattering the pillows.“Where is what?” Rachel pressed, her voice laced with concern.“Th

    DENARA’S POV I took a deep breath, stepping out onto the balcony overlooking the gathered crowd. Their faces were a mix of anger, confusion, and curiosity. I felt the weight of their expectations pressing down on me like a heavy cloak. The murmurs quieted as I raised my hand to signal for silence, my heart racing in my chest.“Everyone, please!” I called out, my voice trembling yet firm. “I know things have been difficult lately, and I am here to address your concerns.”The crowd shifted, some expressions softening while others remained hardened. I could see Tyris standing just behind me, his gaze steady and encouraging. I took another breath, grounding myself in the moment.“I want to start by admitting that I haven’t been of much help,” I continued, my voice rising above the restless murmurs. “When I first arrived at the castle, I was just a maid. I was sold out, tossed into a life I never imagined. I was terrified, overwhelmed, and unsure of my place in this world. And I know that
