Zoey woke up, stretching her arms above her head. She blinked groggily at the corner wall of her room before turning to the side, expecting to see Elliott. But the side of the bed where Elliott slept last night was empty.She suddenly felt worried and panicked. She got up and looked around the room, but he was nowhere in sight.She sighed and sat back in her bed. She thought back to what Elliott had said last night– "I love you, my mate."The words echoed in her mind, causing her heart to flutter. The butterflies in her stomach were going wild, just like they did when he said it last night.Trying to get it out of her mind, she took a warm bath and headed out of the room. She ran into Vanessa along the hallway. Vanessa gave her a knowing look. "So, how did it go with Elliott last night?"Zoey blinked, surprised. "What do you mean?"Vanessa rolled her eyes. "Come on, Zoey. You guys seemed to be cozy last night."Zoey felt her cheeks heat up. "It's not like that, Vanessa. He was just dr
By the time Zoey woke up, she was back in her room. She looked around, taking a while to remember what had happened. She turned to her side to find Vanessa there, Knitting something in the corner. She looked up when she noticed that Zoey was awake."Zoey, you are finally awake," Vanessa said as she came to Zoey's bed."Are you okay now, Zoey?" She asked, her eyes filled with worry. Zoey was about to tell her she was fine when she noticed something on her wrist. Black veins twisted around her wrist like a bracelet, and her heart dropped upon seeing that.She fell back onto the bed with a sigh. "I'm not okay, Vanessa," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm far from okay."Vanessa put her knitting down. "What is the problem, Zoey?" She asked.Zoey showed Vanessa her wrist, the black veins standing out starkly against her pale skin. "I'm dying, Vanessa.""Why?" Vanessa asked curiously."Elliott is my mate, and he wants me to reject him. I can't bring myself to reject him, a
Uncle Toni was sitting in the car on his way to the Blackwood pack, a smirk on his face as he thought about his plan. He knew that Lynx was too proud to do what was necessary to break the curse, and that would be his undoing, he thought.He had already gathered a group of subordinates who are loyal to him, and they are now waiting for his signal. He had a plan to take over the pack, and he was confident he would succeed.As the car pulled up to Blackwood pack, he felt a rush of excitement. He was about to take control of the pack and he felt nothing could stop him.As he stepped out, he kept a calm and collected demeanor. He wanted to appear innocent, and to make sure that Lynx didn't suspect anything.As he walked into the pack house mansion, he saw Lynx sitting in the living room, looking exhausted. He knew Lynx had a lot of things on his plate, and he felt it's only a matter of time before he would be too weak to defend himself.Uncle Toni's smile widened as he approached Lynx, all
Uncle Toni then decided to retire for the night. He made his way upstairs, but a silly thought crossed his mind. He wasn't just ready to sleep yet, so he called one of the guards into his room. "I want you to send the most beautiful maid to my room," uncle Toni said to the guard.The guard looked at him in surprise, but he didn't question his orders. He immediately left the room and found the most beautiful maid in the pack house mansion.The maid was young and fair, with long dark hair and large doe-like orbs. She was hesitant at first, but the guard convinced her that it was Uncle Toni's wish, and she had no choice but to obey.Uncle Toni was waiting for her in his room when he heard a knock on the door. "Come in," he said. As the maid walked in, Uncle Toni was impressed by her beauty and he wondered where Lynx got all those beautiful maids from.However, that wasn't his concern. His only concern was getting down to business with her.The maid stood before him, trembling with fear.
"There is a way to rid yourself of this haunting experience. It won't be easy, and it might take time. But if you are willing, I will help you.""Please, Help me, what's it?""The only way to be rid of the torment and the curse," uncle Toni said slowly, "is to go to the parents of the people you killed and ask for their forgiveness."Lynx looked at Uncle Toni and paused. He knew that it would be nearly impossible to find the parents of the people he had killed, and even if he did, it's very uncertain that they will forgive him."And if I don't," Lynx asked, his voice barely above a whisper."If you don't," Uncle Toni said, "Their ghosts will keep haunting you till you lose your sanity completely.""How do you expect me to do that?" Lynx demanded. "Do you expect me to walk up to their doors and ask for their forgiveness? I'm an Alpha; I can't do that!""I understand your reservations," uncle Toni said, trying to keep his voice calm. "But I'm telling you, this is the only way to rid you
Vanessa woke up feeling a little bit energetic for some reason. She hadn't felt that fit in a long time. It was like an electric current buzzing beneath her skin, making her feel alive. She wondered if Alexander had injected her with supplements while she was asleep.She blinked away the sleep in her eyes and rolled over, expecting to see Alexander's sleeping form next to her. But the space beside her was cold and vacant. She sighed in defeat; these days, Alexander was never next to her each time she awoke in the morning.Alexander had been so busy with pack-related matters, and Vanessa could not help him yet as she was yet to be officially his Luna. They had hoped to make it official after their little one had been born.With a sigh, she moved out of bed but she was met with quite the struggle. Getting up was a bit of a struggle for the past few days with the extra weight, but she managed.She pushed herself up, her muscles protesting slightly. She walked over to the window, stretchi
Blackwood Pack…As Uncle Toni sat down with Lynx to discuss the matter of raping the maids, he could tell that Lynx was not taking it seriously. In fact, Lynx seemed to find the whole thing to be amusing."Lynx, you need to stop whatever it is you are doing. How could you be raping all your maids?""You can't be serious," Lynx said, laughing. What do you expect me to do? Pamper them? They are just maids. They do not even deserve any respect."Uncle Toni was taken aback by Lynx's statement. He had always known that Lynx was a bit spoiled, but he had never heard him say anything so callous before."Lynx, I know that you are used to getting your way, but you need to understand that there are bigger things at stake here," Uncle Toni said, trying to be patient. "We are going to need to prepare for a great war, and we need to focus on that. You can't take it lightly by getting distracted by the maids."Lynx rolled his eyes. "What are you talking about? This war is a win already. There's not
"Oh my goodness, I think I know who the bad omen is.""The bad omen is probably Uncle Toni, he is even more powerful than Lynx's father was. He's known as the dark one. I don't trust him," Zoey said."My trusted maid in Blackwood pack called me this afternoon and told me he is back in the Blackwood pack," she continued.The room was silent as Alexander and Vanessa tried to process what they had just heard. "That's… a lot to take in," Vanessa uttered finally.Just then, Alexander received a text message on his phone, and he immediately checked it. "Elliott just texted me now," Alexander said. "He says I should meet him somewhere, and it sounds urgent.""I will go with you," Zoey said, her voice firm. "I tried calling him, he didn't pick up my call.""I don't think that's a good idea," Alexander said, shaking his head. "Whatever this is, it's clear he doesn't want you involved. Maybe you might get hurt or something.""I'm going with you," Zoey said again, crossing her arms."Okay," Alex
