It was a brisk morning, and Jenny had just returned to the office after a meeting with one of the producers. She was sorting through her notes when her phone rang, its ringtone loud and jarring. It was her friend, Jessica."Hey, Jenny, listen, I think someone's been following me," Jessica said, her voice strained."What do you mean?" Jenny asked, concern evident in her voice. Guilt building in her stomach."I mean, I keep seeing this guy or girl, I don't know, but they are everywhere I go. Every time I turn around, he's there. And he's not exactly subtle about it," Jessica replied, a hint of panic creeping into her voice.Jessica was trying her best to look human, she knew someone's eyes were on her, and she had to play her part well.Jenny took a deep breath and tried to calm her friend down. "Okay, okay, listen. Do you have any idea who this guy might be?""I don't know," Jessica said. "But it doesn't matter. What matters is that I need to be careful. I can't have anyone following m
Zane could remember when he first met Jessica.Zane sat alone in the bustling hall of his industry, sipping his Cinnamon tea and trying to focus on his book.The aroma of freshly roasted beef filled the air, but his thoughts were elsewhere.His gaze kept drifting to the enchanting figure sitting at a corner table.Jessica, with her flowing auburn hair and captivating emerald eyes, seemed to possess a delicate beauty that left Zane mesmerized.Ever since coming in contact with her, Zane had been unable to shake off the desire to get to know Jessica better.He found himself stealing glances whenever he could, hoping she wouldn't notice.Finally, after weeks of internal debates and a surge of courage, he resolved to become friends with her.Gathering his nerves, Zane stood up and walked over to Jessica's table.He cleared his throat and sparked a conversation, stumbling slightly over his words.Surprisingly, Jessica responded warmly, a shy smile gracing her lips.As they started talking,
Zane shook his head. "I always saw them together, but I trusted them both so much that I never thought about the possibility of them having feelings for each other."I guess I was blind to it."He said with pain in his heart as he had a flashback of the last family meeting they had together.Jessica placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, Zane. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you."Zane looked up at her and took a deep breath. "Thank you, Jessica.I appreciate your efforts."And I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for putting you in this position."He had said, with deep concern.Jessica smiled warmly at him."There's nothing to forgive, Zane. I understand the importance of duty and responsibility.And I will do everything in my power to support you and the pack."Zane felt a sense of relief wash over him.He had been so worried about how Jessica would react to his proposal, but her willingness to help him was a weight off his shoulders.
Zane could remember when his parents ambushed him in his apartment, just to talk to him about finding a good Luna for their pack and a good mate for him.They had arrived unannounced, barging into his small apartment with their entourage of guards and advisors. Zane had been caught off guard, his parents never visited him unless it was a matter of great importance. And it seemed like this was one such occasion."Zane, my son," his father, the Alpha of the pack, had said with a stern expression. "We have been discussing your future and we think it's time for you to find a Luna to lead our pack with you."Zane had bristled at the suggestion. He didn't want to be tied down to anyone, especially not someone chosen for him by his parents and their advisors. But he knew better than to argue with his father."I'll consider it," he had said through gritted teeth."And we also think it's time for you to find a mate," his mother chimed in, her voice sweet but her eyes cold. "It's time for you t
Jessica thought it was a pleasant morning to spend with Zane and proclaim her love all over again, but the said Alpha had other plans in mind.While he was calm, Jessica's mind was racing a thousand miles away, cowering from the fear of rejection, she quickly got off the bed and gathered her clothes, ready to leave before the rejection slapped her in the face harder than anticipated."No no no…" she kept chanting, fighting off the tears that threatened, waiting to roll out of her eyes.Zane stayed rooted in his seat on the bed, wondering what had got the lady in tears."Jess, are you okay? I said we needed to talk, not that you have to leave." He sprung into action, ready to hold her back from leaving.If any other person left him, he would be devastated. Not ready to face that, he hugged Jessica to himself, restraining her movement."Zane?" She sniffled."Hmmm…" he answered, making sure to hug her tightly."Just let me go, please, I can't stand this anymore, I know I fucked up, I kno
The relationship between Hugo and Briella once again was becoming a shadow of the past. Hugo had to seek the support of Brittany. He hoped she could convince Briella to trust him. Little did he know that this plea would set off a chain of events that would test the limits of love and loyalty.Brittany's heart burned with jealousy. Her love for Hugo had not waned, and seeing him with another woman ignited a fire within her. She vowed to do whatever it took to win him back. Briella, on the other hand, couldn't understand why her sister harbored such animosity towards her. She longed for their sisterly bond to be restored, but Brittany's resentment only grew stronger with each passing day.One evening as Oscar, a warrior, returned from a hunting trip he was shocked to witness the tension between Briella and Hugo since he had presumed that they'd settled their differences. Anger flared within him as he learned of Brittany's desperate attempts to undermine Hugo's happiness. Determ
Hugo settled himself beside Brittany, intertwining their fingers as he gently held her hand."I've been feeling a bit self-conscious lately, especially since we severed the mate bond"He confessed, his thumb caressing the back of her hand.The tension emanating from him was palpable, but Brittany sought to alleviate his unease by giving his hand a reassuring squeeze."You should have said since I broke the bond," She responded with a tinge of guilt evident in her voice. "If only I could undo it.""Don't blame yourself. You did what you believed was necessary to protect yourself and us.My pack was unaware that our unique method of communication left us vulnerable.None of us had ever considered it a weak point.Once we resolve the current issues with your clan, we'll have to explore what this means for Lycans and whether there's a way to rectify it."Hugo observed the profound distress in her eyes.Despite his longing for the intimate bond shared between mates and his hurt at her abru
"What?!" Bianca voiced, the car key dropping from her hand.It seemed like she was in a dream, a worst nightmare she often prayed would remain a nightmare."What did you say, Zane?" She asked, this time, her voice louder."Let's break the mate bond, I've found a suitable Luna." Inside, Zane was hoping Bianca wouldn't cause him any trouble, but outside he was void of emotion. Keeping his face blank, he stood his ground."We are mates, the Goddess paired us, why would you want to break it?" Bianca spoke like a clueless person.Zane gave her a pointed look that said, "Really?"Bianca rolled her eyes despite the boiling inside of her."Okay, we are having troubles, that doesn't mean we won't solve it. Zane we just have to sit and talk, and if this is a ploy to get me to speak to you, it's working okay? Let's talk, I'm going to the office now, come with me so that we can talk." She tried her best not to sound desperate, but her voice was slightly shaking."No Bianca, this is not a plo
The sound of Zane's voice in her ear pushed her over the edge. She cried out his name, her body quaking from the intense orgasm that rippled through her."Yes, Bianca, that's it." Zane gasped as her inner walls clenched around him, milking him for his release."Let go, Zane." Bianca breathed, urging him to finish."Mate, Bianca." Zane gasped her name as he found his release.The release took him over like a tidal wave, washing over him as his hips continued to thrust. "I can feel it."Bianca's breathing slowed as her body relaxed beneath him. "I can feel you."They lay together for a moment, both breathing hard. Zane's head was spinning from the intensity."I love you, Zane." Bianca whispered, repeating the same words over and over again."I love you so much, Bianca." Zane replied, using his mind link, the one they newly generated with their mating.The next day, the newly mated couple couldn't keep their hands off of each other, not that either of them minded.But, eventually, they t
"I will accept you with the condition that we mate and complete the whole mating under a full moon with our pack elders present." Those were the words Bianca uttered when she laid eyes on Zane.After several attempts from Zane to get Bianca to forgive him, eventually, she sent for him."I accept all the conditions, I accept." He agreed without missing a beat."Tonight." Bianca finalized, not wanting to waste any more time."Tonight?!" Zane was shocked, but who was he to decline? He accepted right away, with the condition that he had to go back to moonshine to make plans before the moon rises.His pack members were all happy for him, finally, he was going to be with his mate and be a complete Alpha.For Bianca, she wanted a hot steamy night where she'll indulge in every one of her desires with Zane as they mate under the moonlight. Her body was feeling hot as it was.Night came quicker than imagined, the moon was high up in the sky, and a tent was made for the two mates to perform thei
Before Zane woke up the next day, Bianca had taken every one of her pack members back home to SunVille."She left?" Zane asked, seeking confirmation from Ivan."Yes alpha, she left early this morning." Ivan nodded."She must have been exhausted, why would she leave early? Is it because of me?" Zane questioned, mostly at himself.After all the heartbreak Zane let her go through, it was no surprise Bianca would leave just to avoid talking to Zane.But, even at that, Zane knew he had to get dressed and go to the SunVille pack house to see Bianca, and if she allowed it, he would beg for her forgiveness.Zane quickly got dressed, jumped into his car, and drove as fast as possible to the SunVille pack house.When he arrived, he could feel the tense atmosphere that surrounded the pack house. Everyone seemed to be on edge, and he knew it was because of him. He took a deep breath and walked towards the pack house.As he walked towards the door, he could hear the sound of snarls and growls com
In the end, both the moonshine pack and SunVille pack decided it was best to march upon the rogues unsuspectingly.With all their warriors trained to fight both in human and wolf form, both Alpha Zane and Bianca were ready to conquer the rogues in their rogue Kingdom.The moon shone brightly upon the clearing where the two packs met, its light casting long shadows across the ground.The air was thick with tension as the two packs prepared themselves for battle.Alpha Zane stood at the front of his pack, his dark fur bristling with anticipation.He scanned the clearing, his sharp eyes searching for any sign of movement. Beside him, Bianca stood tall and resolute, her fur a brilliant shade of white in the moonlight."Are you ready?" Zane asked, turning to his pack.A chorus of growls and barks answered him, and Zane felt a surge of pride in his chest. These were his warriors, his pack, and they were ready to fight.With a nod, Zane signaled for his pack to move forward. They advanced sl
Alpha Zane was lost in thoughts before the war slowly approached."Now that it is all settled, we are going to use my mom's way the next morning.""I could finally rest a little and keep calm with a feeling that everything would be okay even deep down I knew it might not go that well.""I just needed to try what my mom said and then hope for the very best and nothing more.""I won't let her down, I will show her that I am her true son and my years of practice won't go just like that.""I won't let all her words and help be useless.""We would fight this war and win it. I am sure nothing could go wrong.""We would ambush them and fight them.""If they seem to be too stubborn for my liking, we would tear them into pieces one after the other.""This time we start with violence and then advocate peace later on.""And if they decide at that point not to go for peace, I can't blame Myself for ending their lives.""And I will use the death of my mother to push up how they killed my mother, a
"Honestly Zane, this might not work. These rogues can be trusted for one minute.""They might use this as an advantage and then turn against us at the last minute. We lost both of your mothers to this.""Are you sure you really still want to go with the same option which killed your mother?""This isn't smart of you. We can't lose guard. We can't just afford to risk the safety of the pack just because you want to give something a trial.""And I am ninety percent sure this won't work out. And we just can't risk this; we have a lot at stake." Bianca said with a cold look.She was really uncertain about his idea because even he wasn't sure he was doing the right thing.But she was right about it that if this plan backfires and the rogues turn against them, they would have lost guard.And won't have any hope of winning which will mean the fall of the entire pack.But Zane just felt it was better for them to try this method that would stop all these fighting and Killing once.And for all b
Jessica paced in the cabin that Jude owned, it was empty.Kit that there was nothing on there, but it felt like someone had not been in since the last week, like an abandoned home.After Zane saw Jessica prove herself, she was on the way to redemption and since the first phase of their plan was over, he let her leave with the right supervision.The moment she got her freedom, she went looking for her brother, who for unknown reasons had abandoned her.After searching up and down for him inside the cabin, she decided to look for some of his minions in one of the hideouts in the forest.With a determined look on her face, Jessica stepped out of the cabin and into the thick forest. She had a hunch that her brother's minions would know where he was hiding, and she was willing to do whatever it takes to find him.As she walked deeper into the forest, she could hear the sounds of nature all around her.The rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the occasional snap of a twig.She ke
Before Kaden could make another move, a group of moonshine pack warriors emerged from the trees, surrounding Kaden. They tackled him to the ground, binding his hands and feet with heavy iron chains.Kaden struggled against his restraints, but it was no use. His eyes flashed with anger and a hint of fear as he looked up at the moonshine warriors."Don't hurt her," he growled, his eyes flicking to Jessica."As if we would," Zane said in amusement. "We need her alive to lure the other rogues to us."Jessica felt a knot tightening in her stomach. She had never been so nervous her entire life. "What...what do you mean?" She stuttered.Zane's eyes flashed with anger. "Isn't it obvious? You're going to lure the other rogues here so we can capture them." He snarled, his fangs flashing in the moonlight."But how?" She whispered, horrified."Don't worry, we'll think of something," he said, a cruel smile spreading across his lips."No! You don't understand, if they find out they'll kill me!"
"Today is the day Jessica, are you ready?" Zane asked her.It was finally time for them to lure out the rogues one by one, they were starting with Kaden, the rogue King's right-hand man.Kaden was a father figure to Jessica, so she knew it would not take much for her to convince him to walk straight into the moonshine pack trap."Yes, I am ready." She nodded in agreement."You know what to do?" He asked again and she nodded.She was supposed to go to the rogue kingdom to conjure a plan to lure Kaden out.As Jessica made her way toward the rogue kingdom, she couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal. Kaden had always been there for her, had always protected her, and now she was about to hand him over to the enemy.But she couldn't let her emotions get in the way. The safety of the moonshine pack was at stake. And besides, Kaden had made his bed, he had chosen to betray himself by siding with the rogue King.Jessica squared her shoulders and approached the gates of the rogue kingdom.
