GREY

The rain lashed against the windowpane, a steady rhythm that matched the thrum of my thoughts. The glass of bourbon in my hand sloshed as I swirled it absentmindedly, staring out at the darkened woods surrounding the Pack House. Memories flitted through my mind like ghosts—each one a reminder of the choices I had made and the threads of deception I'd so carefully spun

Playing with people's minds has always been something I enjoyed. Leaving things to fate was a risk I couldn't afford. The thing I wanted could be snatched from me in a blink of an eye and I could not let that happen. I always had to be in control or life would control me. That was until I met her.

The first time I met her—my mate—I knew fate had played a cruel joke. She was kind, delicate, everything I wasn't. Opposites attract or some bullshit. Cora was like a dove. So pure and so innocent.

You would think a bond forged by the Moon Goddess herself should've been enough, but it wasn't. I found Cora so boring that it

    BELLAI could feel it deep in my gut, something wasn't right. I could not put a finger on it yet, but I knew inside me.Grey. He was the most conniving person I knew. And not only conniving, he was manipulative and deceptive. What if calling me back home was just another trap?He did say he would make me pay for running away, and although he asked for five million dollars and I sent one million, he hadn't pestered me for more.There were so many loopholes and the more I pondered, the more confused I got. It was tiring.Maybe I was just overthinking it and Cora was really in trouble. Maybe she was really dying. I couldn't ignore that. She was very sick even when she helped me escape the dungeon.What if Grey was responsible for her health deteriorating? What if he beat her up despite her failing heart condition. I honestly wouldn't put it past him.These thoughts made me restless through the day, and gave me sleepless nights.I want to make sure Cora is fine but for that to happen, I h

    LAYLAI walked back into the pack house, looking for Ralph. The servants had told me he was back, and I needed to talk to him or rather he asked me to come talk to him. I wanted to make some excuse but I sister or not, I couldn't just say no to an Alpha.I spotted a maid hurrying down the hall, her head down as she tried to avoid making eye contact with me. I wasn't in the mood for being avoided, so I stepped into her path and called out, “Hey, do you know where Ralph is?”She looked up, startled at first, before quickly composing herself. “Alpha Ralph is in his office ma'am,” she said, her voice a little nervous. “Alpha Kai is also here as well.”The mention of Kai hit me like a wave. I definitely hadn't expected to hear that. My stomach tightened, but I kept my face neutral.Without another word, I stepped past her, heading toward Ralph's office, the fact that Kai was here already making my thoughts swirl.Honestly, I had wanted him for years. I mean, who wouldn't. He was strong, re

    BELLAKai being here with me made me feel safe. Grey had not dared to raise his voice at me, let alone his hand. It made my heart flutter, the knots in my stomach tighten. It made me happier that I would have imagined. And for the first time in forever, I didn't feel alone. That void was no longer there and it was kind of weird how he fit properly into the space.As we walked towards Cora's hospital ward, I stole glances at his profile, etched in sharp relief against the soft glow of the hospital lights. His jawline, strong and defined, moved subtly with each step, its gentle flexing a testament to the tension coiled within. The faint scruff on his chin added a rugged edge to his refined features.With each stride, his broad shoulders shifted beneath his fitted shirt, accentuating the powerful physique that commanded attention. His eyes, fixed ahead, gleamed with an intensity that bordered on ferocity, their piercing quality undeniable even in profile. The sharp lines of his nose and

    KAIThe hum of the plane's engines created a steady rhythm that somehow intensified the silence between us. I leaned back in his seat, casting a glance at Bella, who sat across the aisle with her gaze firmly fixed on the sleeping figure of Cora beside her. Her eyes held a mixture of worry and exhaustion, and though I longed to reach out to her, I kept my distance, respecting the unspoken boundaries she had put up between us.In the dim light of the cabin, Bella looked more vulnerable than I had ever seen her. She wore her strength-like armor, a shield that kept everyone at arm's length. But now, after everything I had learned about her past, I saw the weight she carried—sorrow, betrayal, and the lingering scars of heartbreak. It stirred something deep within me, a fierce desire to protect her, to be the one who could finally ease her burdens.I wanted to heal all her scars and take back every word they had said to make her feel like she was nothing because, to me, Bella was everything

    BELLAI couldn't deny having noticed Kai's new behavior towards me. And while it felt nice, I didn't trust his actions completely. For all I knew, I could be his rebound. Or maybe he was just looking to pass time and find a replacement.I sighed, staring at myself in the mirror. The floral dress I had on fitted my body perfectly. I almost smiled, merely staring at my reflection. I imagined Kai's reaction to seeing me. Something in me looked forward to it, as a matter of fact.I practically flew to the front door when I heard the doorbell. Kai. I stopped right in front of the door, smoothing my dress and my hair, before pulling it open.“Hi.” I said simply, stepping aside for him to enter the house. He looked me over, his eyes twinkling with something indecipherable. His lips drew into a thin line before he focused his eyes back on mine.“Bella,” he said, his voice coming out breathless. The little flutter in my chest was enough to remind me that he was not to be trusted, not completel

    BELLAMy breath hitched at the low tone, my body stiffening from where I was still wrapped around Kai's arms. Firmly, the voice repeated, the shudder that racked through my body accompanied by a tingle from the hand on my shoulder.“Don't touch her.”I felt the hand on my shoulder tightening as Kai's hold loosened, giving the stranger freedom to gently tug me away, causing me to stumble closer to him.“Lemons,” I thought. “He smells like lemons.”Slowly, my eyes abandoned Kai's slightly annoyed face, drifting over to the hand that squeezed my shoulder—it felt more protective than possessive—and trailing up the arm to settle on an oddly familiar face.I hadn't seen him before, that was certain, but the resemblance he held to Luna Olive was a bit uncanny.They looked almost alike, the most obvious differences being the fact that the man had a more tanned skin tone and the corner of his eyes were sharper, slightly upturned, just like mine.As I looked closer, my gaze observant and focuse

    Luna Olive smiled, her pearly white teeth in full display as Layla walked into the private ward. The latter didn't want to be here. She felt choked by the smell of drugs mixed with the lavender scented candles, but she masked it all behind a faux smile as she took steps towards her bed.“Layla,” Olive was beyond glad to see her adopted daughter. She loved her so much more than words could explain.When Olive's only daughter got kidnapped twenty years ago, she was devastated and slipped into depression but the day she set her eyes on Layla; a four year old blonde with piercing ocean blue eyes, it felt as though her daughter had returned to her but in another form.“Mother,” Layla sat in the chair beside her bed, taking Olive's hands in hers and caressing softly. She came here with a motive and she was going to achieve it no matter what.“Baby girl, I'm glad you came,” her eyes gleamed with admiration. Layla saw it and was going to take advantage of it.“How couldn't I come? My mother w

    BELLAThe cold air of the evening breezed past my skin as Lennon and I walked back into the pack house. After listening to his lengthy explanation, I spent the rest of my time walking back in silence, taking in the news i was just given.Layla was Luna Olive and Alpha Luther's foster daughter.What a pleasant surprise.She had pretty much been my replacement, or at least that's what Lennon said that everyone thinks.Thankfully, I had prepared myself for something like this. Well, not exactly like this but I did brace myself for the possibility that I was going to have someone be in my place in my biological family already. I thought that by the time I discovered whether or not it was true I would be filled with rage, jealousy, maybe even bitterness. But what settled in my chest was none of those things.Instead, I felt gratitude.As much as I didn't like her as a person, and I still don't, Layla had brought comfort to my mother in my stead, how could I hate her for that? I just couldn

    BELLAThe night before my wedding, my brothers kidnapped me.Not literally—though with them, anything was possible—but they barged into my room, dragged me out of my wedding preparations, and declared that it was a “sibling bonding emergency.”I barely had time to argue before Xavier threw me over his shoulder like a sack of flour, Ryan tossed a blanket over my head for “extra security,” and Hunter and Lennon led the charge down the hall, laughing like a bunch of lunatics.By the time they finally set me down, I was dizzy, breathless, and slightly concerned for my safety.“What the hell was that?” I gasped, pushing my hair out of my face as I looked around.They had brought me to one of the old gathering halls, now transformed into something unrecognizably cozy. The fire crackled in the grand hearth, a feast of steak, bread, and wine set out on a long wooden table.Lennon grinned, throwing an arm around my shoulder. “Welcome to the Official Quadruplet and Bella Pre-Wedding Party.”Rya

    BELLAThe ruins still smelled of blood and magic. The battle was over, but its echoes remained in the shattered stones, in the bruises on our skin, in the exhaustion that pressed into our bones.I stood at the heart of it all, surrounded by warriors who had once been divided—now united. Alive.And yet, my gaze was fixed on only one thing.Ollie.Kai knelt beside him, his face tight with worry as he brushed the damp curls from the boy’s forehead. Ollie’s chest rose and fell in uneven breaths, his small fingers twitching slightly against the cold stone beneath him.“Come back to us, baby,” I whispered, sinking to my knees. My hands hovered over him, unsure if I was strong enough to touch him without breaking.Kai’s jaw clenched. “He’s breathing.” His voice was steady, but I could hear the fear beneath it. The same fear that had been clawing at my ribs since we found Ollie in that cursed chamber beneath the ruins.I reached out, my fingers grazing Ollie’s hand. His skin was too cold.Too

    BELLAThe Ruins Forest was alive with whispers. Not voices, not creatures—just the wind curling through the gnarled trees, carrying an eerie hum that never faded. The deeper we ventured, the thicker the air became, pressing against my skin like unseen hands. Every step forward felt like wading through something old and rotten, as if the forest itself resisted our presence.Kai moved beside me, silent and sharp-eyed, scanning the shadows ahead. Hunter led the way, his posture rigid, his fingers twitching as though his body anticipated a fight before one had even begun.The darkness here was unnatural. It clung to the trees, seeped into the soil. The deeper we went, the heavier the feeling became, an oppressive weight that coiled around my ribs.“We’re close,” I murmured, voice low. I didn’t know how I knew. I just did.Kaibglanced at me. “You feel it too.”I nodded. It was a sickening pull, something deep beneath the ruins calling to me. Not a voice. Just a presence.Hunter inhaled dee

    BELLAThe Ruins Forest was eerily silent, the dense canopy above swallowing the moonlight, casting shifting shadows across the decaying remnants of a civilization long lost. The air was thick with damp earth, the scent of moss and rotting wood mingling with something sharper—something unnatural.My breath came in slow, controlled inhales, but my pulse pounded in my ears. The ruins around us felt ancient, almost sentient, as if they had witnessed countless tragedies before this moment.And now, they would witness Layla’s end.She stood a few paces ahead, her figure outlined against the pale moonlight breaking through the trees. Dark energy crackled around her fingers, pulsing with anger, desperation. Blood streaked her face, her once-pristine clothing torn and muddied, but her eyes—her silver, stormy eyes—were still alight with the same bitterness that had festered in her heart for years.“You always take what isn’t yours,” she hissed, her voice raw with fury. “First my place, then my

    BELLA.“You think you can save them?” he snarled, stepping forward. His sword gleamed in the dim light. “You couldn’t even save your own father.”A knife twisted in my chest.I refused to believe it.This wasn’t real.Kai was not my enemy.The fog was lying.I stood my ground, forcing my breath steady. “You’re not real.”A flicker of hesitation crossed his face.Good.“You’re just another trick,” I continued, voice firm. “Another lie.”The mist shuddered.The illusion of Kai faltered—his form wavered, then shattered like glass.Gone.But the fog remained.A new voice slithered through the mist.“You’ll never be enough for her.”Kai.His real voice.But laced with something wrong.I turned sharply, scanning the haze. “Kai!”A figure moved through the mist. Nathaniel, rigid, fists clenched.He didn’t turn.Didn’t answer.“She’ll leave you, just like the rest.” The voice came from the fog, its edges curling like smoke.Kai’s shoulders stiffened.I saw the tension in his jaw, the way his

  • Make Way, The Real Alpha Princess Returns!   Chapter 96 YOU THINK YOU CAN SAVE THEM?

    BELLAThe Ruins Forest loomed before us, its canopy thick with ancient trees that swallowed the light whole. A hush settled over the land, the kind that preceded a storm. The air was damp with the scent of moss and decay, and every step felt like an intrusion into something forgotten. Kai walked beside me, silent but alert, his hand never straying far from his blade.We had barely passed the threshold when a rustling in the underbrush made me spin, dagger in hand. A shadow emerged from behind a gnarled oak, and I was ready to strike—until I saw him.Hunter.Dressed in a loose tunic, a satchel slung across his shoulder, he grinned at me like this was any other day. “Fancy seeing you two here.”I exhaled sharply, lowering my weapon. “Hunter, what the hell are you doing here?”He held up a weathered sketchbook. “Would you believe me if I said I came to draw the ruins? The landscapes here are—”“—dangerous,” I finished, stepping toward him. “This place isn’t some scenic retreat. Harper an

    BELLAThe war room was dimly lit, the scent of parchment and ink thick in the air. Maps lay scattered across the table, marked with hastily drawn lines and notations—plans that had now shifted.The battle was over. The border was safe.But the war wasn’t.I ran my fingers along the edges of the old, worn notebook in front of me, my mind spinning through the words scribbled inside. Oli had left behind a trail—one that led straight to the heart of our enemy.Kai stood beside me, arms crossed, golden eyes scanning the notes as if he could pull more meaning from them just by glaring hard enough. Lennon, on the other hand, sat slouched in his chair, legs stretched out, fingers drumming absently against the table.The tension in the room was thick, pressing in on me from all sides.I exhaled. Time to begin.“We have confirmation,” I said, voice steady. “Harper’s plan failed. The border remain

    BELLAThe sky churned with storm clouds, thick and low, casting the battlefield in an eerie half-light. The air was thick with the scent of burnt flesh, wet fur, and the metallic sting of blood. Screams and snarls tangled together in a chaotic symphony, the ground trembling beneath the weight of bodies clashing, breaking, and falling.I had seen war before. I had felt its weight in every wound I stitched, in every heartbeat I fought to save. But this—this was something else.The magical beasts came in waves, their forms flickering with unnatural energy, their movements sharper, faster—unnatural. I had no doubt now. Someone was controlling them. Someone was feeding them power.And I was going to find out who.But first, we had to survive.“Push forward!” Kai’s voice cut through the chaos like a blade, his massive form cutting through the oncoming beasts with raw, relentless force.
