The garden lake lay quiet and serene, its surface shimmering under the late afternoon sun. Ava often wandered here when she needed a moment of peace, a chance to breathe in the calm beauty of nature away from the watchful eyes of the palace.

As she stepped around a curve in the path, she stopped abruptly. Just a few feet away, by the edge of the lake, stood a small figure—Prince Ansel. He was crouched by the water, tossing stones and watching as they splashed and disappeared into the depths. Ava hadn’t expected to see him here, but she smiled, thinking perhaps it was a chance to make a gentle introduction.

“Hello, Your Highness,” she greeted softly, stepping forward so he would notice her.

The young prince looked up, and immediately his expression shifted. His gaze grew cold, startlingly so for a child his age. He stood, brushing his hands off on his fine tunic, his mouth curling in distaste.

“So, you’re the king’s *slave*,” he said, his voice sharp and accusing. "Mother said that’s w

    AXEL VOSS It had been over a week and there was no sign of Axel waking up from his unconsciousness, the maester's and the physicians never left his side for once. Working hard for the recovery of the king, Both using the medical and ancient methods, Apparently the poison Cahir had shot him with was unlike any they'd ever seen—a foul blend of aconite-wolfsbane and silver powder, Lupine’s Bane, crafted to hunt him. It leeched through his blood, burned his muscles, suffocated his bones.. This had essentially destroyed his regenerative ability and rendering him unconscious for this long, and worst preventing any natural recovery. Inside his mind, a storm of memories came. Axel was trapped in a pit of despair where past horrors played on an endless loop, darkened visions seared into his closed eyes. His consciousness was fractured, seized by the primal instinct of his wolf nature, but unable to release him from the cage of his human pain, as his mind still swirl and suffer the ordeal

    AVA KILLIAN Ava’s eyes slightly open, barely slits, enough to glimpse the physicians hovering around her battered body. Pain flared through her every limb, a raw and relentless ache that turned even the slightest movement into a fresh torture. Fractured memories tore through her mind, replaying the ordeal of the night before—a night consumed by the monstrous rage of Alpha Axel. Alpha Axel had become something else, something far darker than she’d thought possible. Any trace of humanity in his gaze was snuffed out, replaced by an icy void that left her shocked in terror. His heart, if he still had one, had calcified into unfeeling stone. The hatred she saw in his eyes that night wasn’t human; it was a venomous fire, far beyond anything she’d ever seen. He had changed to an entire new beast, And it looked like all his hatred for her had only become heightened. Ava had thought she was beginning to understand Axel, she thought she was beginning to build something, at all a trus

    AVA KILLIAN "Would you kill me for ?" Ava asked and Jared was taking aback for a second, it was a knight's duty to protect, and even kill anyone who poses harm to those under their protection.He took it that way and replied."Ofcouse I would." Jared had said.Ava had now somehow left the palace in protection of Jared, "For me to trust you and your words, you should be able to at least keep this little secret with you" Ava had said to him. And Jared kept to his words and illegally brought Ava outside the palace to the ocean's shore where ashes of the dead, the ashes of capital sinners, and unclaimed body were disposed.Layla's ashes was most probably disposed there too, She wanted to visit Layla's resting place first, and make her promise to her. Ava took a deep breath as the ocean stretched before her, the breeze blowing on her face and for a brief moment she could perceive that sweet scent of Layla. Her kindness, her loyalty. Dieing unjustified like that made her heart ache, she

    AXEL VOSSThe room felt more like a dungeon than a chamber, its cold stone walls pressing in on everyone present. Alpha Axel stood with his intimidating gait, his cold gaze cutting through the tension like a blade. No one dared meet his eyes for long, not even the guards stationed by the doors. Ava stood tall, her presence as sharp and unyielding as Axel’s own, despite the attack she’d barely survived, which made Axel wonder.Jeremy knelt on the floor, shackled and trembling. A thick muzzle strapped across his face silenced his panicked breaths. His wrists were raw, and the other fists had been chopped off and were still dripping with blood, his resolve crumbling under the weight of the stupid things he had done.The evidence against him was hard—he’d dared to strike at the King’s property, and there would be no mercy. Especially since the King came back from the DarkSword Pack. He had been colder and wilder than he had actually been before.“Your Majesty,” the royal physician spoke c

The room was dim, illuminated only by the moonlight filtering through the window. Her breaths came slow and uneven as her eyes adjusted to the darkened space.And then she saw her.Kaila stood at the foot of the bed, her posture rigid, her expression carved from stone. But her eyes—burning with disgust—made Ava’s blood run cold.Ava scrambled to sit upright, her palms clammy against the floor. “What are you doing here?” she rasped, her voice still fragile from earlier.Kaila tilted her head slightly, a mockery of curiosity. “I’m here to make a deal.”Ava’s lips curled into a faint, bitter smile, her voice laced with sarcasm. “A deal? Let me guess, you’re scared. Scared you and Jeremy are going to burn for everything you’ve done to me… to Layla.”Kaila’s face didn’t flinch, her tone sharper than a blade. “I’m not here to apologize.

Axel stared in shock struggling to understand what he was hearing."Spare him. I Beg of you. Spare my son. He is my only first surviving son.""Sister...

    She was frozen in absolute shock. The scream about to escape her lips got muffled by his big, veiny hand that covered almost half of her face."You don't seem to understand me, do you?"He asked coldly as his fingers applied pressure on her cheeks.Her ocean eyes were opened wide as fear danced in them. She immediately tried to get off his lap but his free hand grabbed her thigh keeping her in place.Her frail hands came up as she attempted f to remove his hand from her mouth but he just watched her struggle. Her eyes were closed."Don't scream," He muttered and she immediately nodded her head. He slowlymoved his hand away.Aurora took in a deep breath filling her lungs to the fullest as her lips parted slowly and then she screamed at top of her lungs."HELP." He abruptly covered her mouth again rather roughly and grimaced at her.Her eyes were closed as she tried to pry his hand off her mouth."If*cking hate disobedience," He hissed lowly near her ear as he pulled her face closer.H

    AVA KILLIAN The next morning Ava stood before the mirror in her room, the light seeping from the open winding casting on her as her fingertips traced her neck and collarbone, searching for the bruises Alpha Axel had left the previous night whist trying to force her to confess who had burnt, and who instilled that panic of fire in her.His tortures, bruises and hickeys wouldn't make her tell him anything, knowing she doesn't have enough evidences and the way he's known her as a cunning spider, he wouldn't believe her if she told him it was Kaila's doing.She would rather keep this card and use against Kaila in the future, perhaps to threaten her. Than rather wasting it by telling Alpha Axel now and she wouldn't be believed.Using it against Kaila sounds reasonable instead.She bit the inside of her cheek, willing herself not to cry, seeing the scars from the fire and the painful memory it brought back, Though Alpha Axel had ordered his royal physician to deal with all the scars, that

He was handed everything on a gilded platter, and yet now—now—we shared a mate? The word seared my mind. My wolf clawed at the edges of my control, demanding blood, demanding dominance.But I tried harder to calm my wolf; he could rule all day and night, but this night was mine. I have to be in control of my wolf.I glanced at Vissera. She stood stiffly beside me, her head held high, a fragile thing pretending at strength. She was looking at Cole as he entered the hall. She didn’t dare look at me. She was trembling, and it wasn’t the chill of the hall that did it. It was me.I terrified her.No matter how softly I spoke, no matter how carefully I moved, my presence consumed the air around her like smoke. She was suffocating. The fragile bond between us hummed with fear, and that fear only fuelled my rage. My fists clenched at my sides. Not toni

    VISSERA ASHTOWER I was safely escorted into Alpha Soft-heart's automobile with him by my side. He held my hand tightly as the car drove us off towards the Moontower. I felt some relief because this time it isn't the Bloodtower.But I noticed something with me that I felt so embarrassed about, and I do not want Alpha Cole to notice this: the moment Alpha Stoneheart left the moonspire with his entourage, my body had instantly started to feel that foreign insatiable feeling that I felt when I was in Alpha Cone's captive, That irresistible heat spreading in my core made my vagina wet and throb when he dominated me and made me submit to his wild sexual ordeals. When I begged to not be his hunt and begged to be submissive and do anything he wants because I have heard tales of him totally losing it to his beast, and his beast would hunt and suck the blood of his hunt dry.I didn't want to become that, be his hunt, and the fear etched my heart for betraying him.

    Unedited VISSERA ASHTOWER I woke up in the middle of the night to meet Alpha Cole just by my side; the chandelier's candles in the room all lit up his handsome, well-structured face. His face was like it was moulded by the dexterous hand of the Creator of heaven and earth himself, but the room feels like it was melancholic. "You are awake, "he growled as he caressed my forehead with his hand; my heart fluttered... I couldn't tell why, but I could say it is still the disbelief that the most revered Alpha, Cole, is my mate, and right here checking if I'm alright. "Yes… I feel better. I can assure you I am in good health, Alpha." I quickly defended. Most Alphas will send their mates back immediately if they show the slightest message of unhealthiness. Inbred nobles and weak mates, I'm not any of those. I'm not ready to be chased back because of a damned uncontrollable heat. I am not ready to lose all this. This is my chance to save myself and Yennefer from the hell of all these men

"No..." Alpha Cone choked out, his voice low, barely audible. "Vissera…” He called; he realised now that he was only able to stay in control for so long because Vissera was his mate and nearer to him, but now that she was gone, he couldn't keep control of his beast anymore.Something inside him snapped.It started in his chest, a pain so fierce it felt like his heart was being ripped apart. He staggered out of the car clutching at his ribs; the pain wasn't only physical. Her betrayal consumed him, feeding the rage that swirled together like a storm within him, His beast surged forward, no longer asking permission. It tore into him, merciless and wild. The pain became unbearable, ripping through his nerves like fire. He fell to his knees, his hands si

The beast I know would have made her his hunt.This littlest humane part was the way he fought to own Vissera, The way he went the human route by actually speaking words with me Instead of spilling blood, and also taking my entourages hostage not making them corpses.The Cone Brackenridge I know would not leave, he would take what he wants with bloodshed, and everyone in this moonspire would be his victim..But he restrained himself?

    “Note:- Chapter will be Fixed”Chloe's POV: I finished my work for today, and I bade Ella goodbye and left for my home. I bade the security man as well; I stopped a cab, and it waited, and I entered. It carried me to the address I gave him, which was my home. I walked to our house door, pressed the doorbell, and it rang, and Nicki rushed out as she almost bumped into me. She looks stuffy as she stuck chicken's lap in her mouth. "Huh, welcome, miss," Nicki said. "Thanks," I said with a smile. "Where's sister? "I asked, "I'm here; welcome, she said as she stepped out of her room. "How was the work? "She asked, "Good." I said as I quickly remembered the memories I see lately, "Sis, I'm confused about something that happens to me lately, I said, "Huhh??!! What's that?" she asked with a worried face. "I usually see someone else's memory lately," I said. "Hmm!! Was that not imagination? Or reflection to the stories you've read," she said. "No,not at all." "Really?? "Yes, I'm sure," I sa

Anger crackled through Ava's heart.“What a lovely sight,” Kaila said, her tone warm and deceiving, Ava could see through her hypocritical tone, “It’s good to see the children so full of life, isn’t it, Ava?”Ava stiffened. There was a deliberate sharpness to Kaila’s words, like she had something up her sleeve, Ava needed no one to tell her Kaila had something on her for her to visit her room in the first place.Kaila turned to Axel,

    AVA KILLIAN Ava felt the deep feeling of being used, a deep feeling of being cheated; anger boiled in her, but at the same time she felt helpless. What gnawed at her inside was the fact that she had thought Jared was genuinely nice to her; it hurts to see he never was. It hurts to realise he had put on that mask and waited for her weakness in order to penetrate. He was a predator. It shouldn't have been him. Ava strutted through the palace, and eyes were on her, their whispers trailing her like ghosts, but their pressing glare wasn't what concerned her now; let them watch, let them judge; she had a bigger demon to face. On reaching her room, her fingers trembled slightly against her cold doorknob as she twisted and opened it; at least she could lock herself in her room, alone, and cry till there were no tears left to cry. Instead, she was met with a sight that she would never expect; she'd never anticipated this. Alpha Axel sat comfortably on her bed, ease with a loving war
