REGINA

I could hear her whistle as she approached me again with the rope. I didn’t want to open my eyes, trying to lie as still as possible for the right moment, like a wolf about to leap on its prey.

Her whistle made it even easier to use my sound senses and track her movement around me. She had leaned down now and shifted me slightly to hold my hands and then she slowly began to place the rope around my arm.

It was time!

With the speed of light and desperation to leave this company before the Sunbeam poison completely kicked in, I pushed her head in a deadly slam against the wall. She fell still instantly.

“Great! Let’s leave this goddess forsaken place, Ruby.”

I rose to my feet, clutching my neck as I staggered through the passageways, listening for the echoes of the men’s feet.

Soon, I found an exit and just as I slipped out into the light, I could hear the men running towards me, but I knew they were not going to make it, not when a cab had stopped right before me.

    LIONEL It was not easy to clear my head in the house, not with all the people from different packs trooping into the house to see my grandpa and greet me in anticipation of the coming marriage ceremony. With each day, it was getting realer. Some of the women already came in with decoration items and grandpa had hired some men to handle some carpentry, all for the goddamned wedding! “You know all these aren’t necessary, grandpa.” I whispered to him as I approached him in the large hall just before the study in the mansion where he was busy giving orders to some men installing new chandeliers to the ceiling. “How about you just smile and stop acting like you would shift into a wolf and tear one of them to a million pieces?” grandpa replied as casually and calmly as ever. He wasn’t even moved by everything I was trying to say. I was getting bored with all the activities disturbing my peace within the house and thought it was best to move out with Ryker to ease off, except… Where th

    LIONEL“What are you trying to say?” I couldn’t wrap my mind around the words. I was even yet to realize just how much interest I was putting into the affair of Regina Donovan, but I had set something up and I needed feedback.Coincidentally, Ryker was going to do just that – give me the information I needed.“I and Gwen were together when Regina called and told us to track her phone before she passed out.”“Passed out?”“Yeah!” Ryker continued. “We found her lying on a roadside bench unconscious just as someone had raised an alarm and wanted to have her sent to a hospital. We took over from there and rushed her to her home instead. Her father – Alpha Donovan took over from there and treated her with concoction he prepared. She had been poisoned with a Sunbeam needle.”That was strange. Sunbeam needles were not the kind of plants that anyone would see lying around. In most cases, they were cultivated in overseas countries and wer

    LIONEL“HEY! ARE ANY OF THE BABES OUT THERE? GET THE GODDAMNED MUSIC ON!”The fool was yet to even understand what was about to happen. I watched him as he waited but the only response that he got was silence. Then he grumbled again about the music and slowly relaxed back into the water. He didn’t even get my scent. There was so much foam, so much booze and of course, he was just too stupid.Then I made my own move.I held him by the hair and dipped his head into the water before he knew it. I could feel him in my hands as he gargled and spun, struggling for life beneath the water, unable to breathe. His hand held mine, his claws sticking out as his wolf spirit began to take over, struggling to tear free from my grasp but his scratches and piercing were only pinches to me.But the plan was not to kill him. No way… There was no way I’d just let him die without knowing who was there to torment him. Moreover, even though it wouldn’t be track

As I sat alone in my room days after my encounter with Damian of Eric Circle, I thought perhaps I needed to see Gwen again to discuss with her.Gwen dropped by as soon as I called her and even after I was done narrating what I thought about my life currently, she wasn’t sure of the next move to make.“I don’t know, Gina… After the danger that crazy guy put you in, I just can’t imagine you moving into another death trap while chasing your dreams.” Gwen said tiredly.“But I just can’t stay and do nothing, right? We all take risks one way or the other.”“This might be too dangerous.” She replied. “But yeah, you’re right. I have an idea, though. How about we reach Frankenstein again and you know, hear from him?”“Just hear from him?”“More like give

I was really nervous about having to go see Sir Lucky of this Goldie Pack of a thing, but I just had to remind myself that it was only the post-traumatic stress disorder from what Damian had done.We greeted Frankenstein goodbye, sending our condolences as well for the loss.Frankenstein had only shrugged in reply. “Damian and I got nothing together, just business. It’s alright.”I really also wanted to know how it was going at Sun Entertainment now that Lionel had me packing but didn’t bother to ask anyway. It was good luck to them. Nothing concerned me with Sun Entertainment anymore. As I and Gwen made our back to the house, there was so much to talk about. “Damian is dead?” Gwen screamed again for the fifth time in disbelief. “Damn! This is straight up karma for what that piece of shit did to you!” I sighed. “Yeah, he was an a

I had seen several people die did not mean I had been the person who killed them. In fact, I had killed no one and that included Damian.Damian only fell to his death.As I rose the next day, I was ready to resume my normal business like nothing happened, because, of course, nothing happened. It was none of my business. Still, I wanted to know what was being said about Eric Circle. Thanks to someone like Ryker, there was no way such news was going to pass me by.Grandpa was in the kitchen preparing some eggs and bacon when Ryker approached him.“Grandpa, have you seen the news?” I heard him say.“What’s up?”“It’s crazy. It’s the Eric Circle Pack. Damn! They lost Damian. They lost their alpha.”Boom! Here we go. I sipped from a cup of coffee as I placed my ears on their voice vibration,

    LIONELI didn’t move for some reason. No, I wasn’t moved by her infuriating display before me. I’ve had girls – in multitudes – try to catch my attention with being sexy, so sexy was nothing new to me. I remained fixed in a position because I was just trying to comprehend how foolish this girl actually was.First, she had gotten it wrong – I didn’t want anything from her when I gave her the job in place of Regina, then she proved even more stupid to show that she was so cheap, wanting to sleep with me even without me asking for it.Interesting.She drew closer now, already naked on the table, stretching forth her boobs towards my face.I remained in my position smiling at her. “Are you this desperate about having sex with me?” I asked as casually as ever.“I know you want it.” She replied as she licked her lips. “I’m only making it easy for you because you’re my type of guy and I want you.”“Alright, that’s good.

They are good and crazy with their cinematography but it’s still nothing compared to Sun Entertainment.”“I see.”“That’s what keeping the both of them away now.”“Away for how long?” I asked.Ryker laughed. “You’re missing your luna already, aren’t you?”What the actual heck?

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Where I Belong

    REGINA I made my way to Marcy’s room shortly after seeing Lionel. She looked so small lying there, her face pale but serene. Her hands rested on her swollen belly protectively, even in her sleep. My heart clenched at the sight of her. The sister I had thought I’d lost forever was here again, and despite everything we had endured, there was hope. Then I thought of the tragedy that had befallen her—of Silas and everything else. Victor had indeed taken more than we could imagine. “Marcy,” I whispered as I approached her bed. Her eyes fluttered open, groggy but quickly filling with recognition. “Regina?” she murmured, her voice hoarse. I nodded, tears already welling up. “It’s me.” She eased into a smile. “I just knew you could do it. I just knew you could. You’ve always been just too strong.” I laughed as I planted a kiss on her forehead. “How’s the b

    LIONEL The first thing I noticed was the sterile smell of antiseptic. My body felt heavy, but the softness of the hospital bed was comforting. Slowly, I blinked my eyes open. Regina’s face came into focus. Her hair was slightly disheveled, dark circles shadowed her eyes, but she was the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen. Her hand rested on mine, her touch grounding me. “Lionel,” she whispered, her voice filled with relief and tenderness. Tears welled up in her eyes as she leaned closer. “You’re awake.” I managed a weak smile. “Hey…” Before I could say more, Grandpa appeared by her side, his face a mixture of concern and relief. Ryker and Gwen were there too, their expressions lighter than I’d seen in days. “You gave us quite the scare, kid,” Grandpa said, his gruff tone unable to mask the emotion in his voice. “Victor?” I rasped, the memories of the fight f

    REGINA “No,” I whispered, cradling Lionel closer. His breathing was shallow, his usually vibrant eyes clouded with pain. Victor stood a few paces away, lowering his weapon with a chilling casualness. “You should've just cooperated with the plan, Regina.” He chuckled disdainfully. “You and that pathetic excuse of an alpha.” “Don’t you dare!” Marcy’s voice cut through the tension, and I turned just in time to see her charging at Victor. “Marcy, no!” I screamed, but it was too late. Victor swatted her away like she was nothing, sending her flying into the side of the truck. She hit the metal with a sickening thud, collapsing in a heap. My mouth dropped open, my scream coming uncontrollably. “Stay down, girl,” Victor sneered, turning his attention back to me. I froze, my arms tightening protectively around Lionel. Every instinct screamed at me to fight, but my b

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Let’s End This

    REGINA I and Marcy had been together in the room, waiting, when we heard the sounds of the war going on outside the building. Lionel was here. At first, a feeling of joy and assurance rushed to me, but almost immediately, a certain panic rushed through me when we had waited for quite long enough and Lionel was yet to show up. “Are you sure he’s still okay?” Marcy asked, the fear in her voice evident. “He is okay.” I replied with all certainty. “Nothing could happen to Lionel!” Then the men suddenly stormed in, barking orders. Marcy and I rose hastily and followed the men down the corridors, all the way to the back of the warehouse. Soon, we were out in the dark and there was nothing but the dim lights of the moon to guide us through. I could still hear the faint buzz of war on the other far end of the building. Axel led the group of Victor’s men, his expression unreadable, but

    LIONEL His taunting words drove me mad, but I refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing me fall apart. I clenched my jaw, focusing on my breathing as I adjusted my stance, preparing for the next round. But Victor wasn’t done. He was playing with me, like a predator toying with its prey. He danced just out of reach, circling me, his every movement calculated, precise. “You know, Lionel,” he began. “I’ve always admired your strength. But strength doesn’t mean anything when it’s built on lies. Your so-called ‘perfect love’ with Regina? It’s a joke. You’re both weak, just like your parents were. Too sentimental. Too tied down by your pathetic little bond.” His words struck harder than any blow he could throw, reminding me of all the mistakes I’d made, of all the things I’d failed to protect. The past kept clawing at me, refusing to let go. I roared in fury, charging toward him once more, but this time, I cou

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Ambush

    LIONEL All I needed was a location and just that, Arturo had provided. Another site, another holding of Victor’s. Even if it meant going to a hundred locations this same night, as long as I was not dead, I was going to set my eyes on Regina and there was nothing that could be done to change that. As we drew closer to the warehouse where Regina was supposedly held, we knew better than to just storm our way in. We needed to maintain a low profile. The warehouse loomed ahead, its corrugated metal walls dull and rusted under the dim glow of the moonlight. A faint chill ran down my spine as I scanned the perimeter. This was the place. I could feel it in my gut. Regina was inside, and I wasn’t leaving without her. Ryker crouched beside me, his face set in grim determination. Arturo and his men from the Eric Circle pack fanned out behind us, their movements silent and purposeful. Each of them carried

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Marcy’s Story

    REGINA “You already know how it started,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I refused to marry Lionel. I couldn’t. Not when my heart belonged to Silas.” I nodded, memories of that time flashing through my mind. Marcy had always been the rebellious one, the sister who defied tradition and sought her own path. “When I ran away with Silas, we thought we’d left everything behind,” she continued, her voice growing steadier. “We crossed borders, traveling from pack to pack, always looking over our shoulders. But eventually, we found a place where we could be safe, a small pack in a distant country. It was nothing like home, but it was ours. We built a life there, Regina. A happy life.” Her lips quivered, and I could see the love she still held for Silas shining in her eyes, even through her grief. “We planned to come back one day,” she said, her voice cracking. “To face

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Sister Sister

    REGINA I awoke slowly. “Regina?” The voice echoed in my head, but the familiarity could not be mistaken. I knew I was captured again; alone, with no one to protect me, my heart aching in ways I couldn't even put into words. This time, not just for my own mistakes, but for my sister’s life as well. “Marcy…” I cried quietly. How? I lay on the cold, unforgiving floor of the dimly lit room, the rough stone scraping against my skin. The chains around my wrists felt heavier than ever, and my heart felt heavier still. It wasn’t just the physical pain that gnawed at me—it was the emotional torment of seeing my sister’s frightened eyes, the same eyes I remembered from our childhood, filled with so much terror. "Regina?" Marcy’s voice broke through the silence. Her voice was hoarse, trembling, as though she too couldn’t find the words to express th

    REGINA I could feel the cold metal of the handcuffs biting into my skin as the car jolted over uneven terrain. Victor’s grip on my life—on everything I cared about—was suffocating, his constant presence a reminder of just how trapped I truly was. Axel was beside me, silent, but I could feel his gaze flicking over me like a hawk, calculating and waiting for any sign of weakness. But I wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction of seeing me break. Victor had been playing a game with Lionel. Each move designed to frustrate, each location a new dead end. I could tell it was wearing on him. His anger had become more pronounced, his impatience clearer. But it wasn’t just about the hunt anymore—it was about power, and I was the key to it all. The car slowed as we turned onto a dirt road, the thud of the tires against the gravel echoing in the small space. The lights outside flickered and then dimmed. I didn’t know where we were going this time,
