Eloise watched him disappear into the night, her breathing shaky, the words replaying in her head. Why does he care?

The door was still open, a draft brushing her face as she took a long breath. She closed her eyes for a moment, exhaling slowly as if trying to push the anger, the confusion, and the overwhelming sense of betrayal out of her body.

But before she could shut the door fully, a force slammed against it with a violent thud. It bounced back, almost throwing her off balance.

“Mavis?” Eloise muttered, recognizing the voice that followed.

Mavis stood there, her face twisted in fury, like a storm ready to break. She stormed in without hesitation, her eyes wild with accusations. She looked like a terrifying evil spirit.

“Eloise! You hypocrite! You said you would intercede for me! Did you do anything? Did you? No, you didn’t!” Mavis raged, her voice shrill and cutting. “You’ve been playing the saint, haven’t you? Trying to act all kind and benevolent, but I see right through you.

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    She's not a Pushover

    Mavis was having a really bad day. And by "bad," I mean so bad that if bad days were an Olympic sport, she would’ve won gold, silver, and bronze. She had just lost her job at Club Scarlet Heart. Not a small gig-oh no! This was a job that not only paid her rent, paid her tuition fees but also funded her little weekly shopping trips for things she didn’t really need but bought anyway because of shopping therapy. You know, essentials. The kind of stuff that made her feel like she was living in a glossy magazine, even though her reality was more like a "how-to-survive-your-twenties" blog post.But here’s the kicker: it wasn’t just the job loss. Opps! Mavis’s voice, once rich and sultry, had become... well, let’s just say she now sounded like someone who had been chain-smoking since the age of 13 and had been hit in the throat with a brick. Every time she opened her mouth, it was like a wounded animal was trying to escape.But hey, she wasn’t going to let that stop her. Nope. Mavis was res

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Lunch Date!

    The sharp morning light filtered through the windows of Club Scarlet Heart, casting long shadows on the floor as Eloise entered. She moved quickly, a sense of urgency in her every step, though the weight of her thoughts seemed to slow her down. She dropped her bag in her locker and headed straight for Rachael’s office. Her heart was pounding, but she tried to ignore the flutter of anxiety building in her chest. Just get this over with, Eloise. You’ve got this.She knocked gently on the door, her hand a little unsteady.“Rachael, I need you to hold my money again,” Eloise said, placing a thick stack of bills on the desk in front of her.Rachael looked at the money for a long moment, her eyes widening. "Who gave this to you?"Oh, here it comes, Eloise thought, feeling the familiar twinge of nervousness. She had no intention of explaining the full details, but she knew she would have to. “I’ll tell you in a second. It’s... from last night.”Rachael frowned deeply as Eloise quickly recoun

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Put up a good fight.

    Eloise stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection like it was a crime scene. She could almost hear her conscience whispering, "You are truly a walking disaster, Eloise." The shame gnawed at her insides, and honestly, she couldn’t blame it. She had considered asking Lucian for help, begging him to buy her way out of the Scarlet Heart Club and free her from this nightmare. But the words? Yeah, they just refused to leave her mouth. Her throat felt like a desert."Do you want to say something?" Lucian’s voice sliced through the awkward tension. Just as he turned to leave her at the door of the club, he caught her attention. She could feel him sizing her up, probably trying to figure out if she had something dramatic to say."No. Nothing," Eloise managed, her voice dry enough to make a sandpaper commercial. He felt like she was lying, and not just lying to him, but lying to herself, too.Lucian paused, looking at her for a second longer, but then he just shrugged and walked of

    Ainsley opened his eyes in the darkness, the silence heavy around him. His body ached from the weight of exhaustion, but he couldn’t stop himself from turning to look at Eloise. She was still sleeping, curled in his arms, her soft breathing the only sound in the room. His gaze fell to her neck, where he could still see the marks he had left, the angry, purple hickeys scattered across her delicate skin.To Ainsley's surprise, Eloise left so many bloody bite marks on his shoulder.He didn't understand. Why did he let her do it? And why did he kiss every part of her body so madly?His hand instinctively brushed the edge of her neck, but as soon as his fingers touched hers, he quickly pulled them away. His mind was swirling with thoughts he couldn’t control.With a sigh, Ainsley closed his eyes again, trying to push the thoughts from his mind. He could feel the warmth of her body against his, could smell the sweet scent of her hair. And yet, his instincts urged him to do more, to pull her

    In the Ocean Moon Pack, Michael stared at Jack across the room, his expression hardening as he noticed the smug smile on Jack’s face. The atmosphere in the office, thick with tension, made the air feel suffocating. Jack was lounging casually on the couch, but Michael could see the flicker of something darker behind his eyes."You seem to be in a good mood these days," Michael commented, his voice cool but laced with something that could almost be concern.Jack's smile widened, and he leaned back further, his arms resting comfortably behind his head. "Why wouldn't I be?" he replied nonchalantly. "I've stumbled upon some very interesting prey."Michael set the document he had been reading aside, narrowing his eyes as he studied Jack. "Jack," he said, his tone turning serious. "Stop, there's nothing funny about this."Jack chuckled softly, the sound carrying a hint of arrogance. "Michael, you're an Alpha. Don't you know that hunting is a very elegant sport?" He winked as if this were som

    Jack didn't care about her attitude. "The wounds must be treated. Leaving them untreated will only make them worse."Eloise stared at him coldly, her expression hardening. Why does he always feel the need to control everything?"It's none of your business," she said with a chill in her voice. Then she remembered that she had just received 20 thousand dollars from Jack, and her mood shifted slightly. She adjusted her tone, trying to be more civil, and continued, "Alpha Jack, please don't kiss me on the forehead again."Jack, however, didn't seem to be deterred by her coldness. He looked at her with a knowing smirk, his eyes glinting mischievously. "So, can I kiss you?" he asked, his voice soft but laced with a challenge.Before Eloise could even process his words, Jack closed the distance between them and quickly kissed her on the lips. Eloise’s gaze dropped to the floor, a flash of disgust crossing her face.She forced a smile. "Alpha Jack, the kiss is included in the money, right?" s

    Eloise returned to the Public Relations Department office and sat at her desk, the sterile surroundings offering her little comfort. She was the only one there. Time seemed to slow down as she stared at the empty room. There were no calls from her colleagues or supervisors. Soon, the clock ticked past the hour, and it was time to go home.Just like the day before, and the day before that, she hadn’t received any work at all.She sighed and stood up from her desk, gathering her things before heading out the door. She left the Scarlet Heart Club behind, and made her way back to her dorm.The walk back was uneventful, and the stairs creaked under her feet as she ascended to her apartment floor. Just like yesterday, as she reached the landing, she saw Jack standing by her door, his figure as imposing as ever.This time, Eloise didn’t ask anything. The previous days of questioning, of wondering, had led her nowhere. She simply pulled out her key in front of Jack and opened the door. Her mo

    "Alpha, Jack, I never said that the meal I cooked was worth a hundred thousand dollars. You gave it to me because you thought it was worth it. I was short of money, so I accepted it. Why did I accept it, even though I knew it wasn't an equal exchange? Perhaps you've forgotten that I'm a woman who will do anything for money. I'm a company girl, not a socialite. I need money. I need a million dollars. It means the world to me. If I don't get this money by the deadline, I'm going to lose something very important," she said frankly.Jack was silent, his face expressionless. He didn’t care about anyone else, least of all her problems.He raised his hand, looking at his watch. "I've already wasted enough time. Miss Anthony, I've bothered you for too long. There's no need for us to meet again in the future.""I thought that too. That's why I accompanied you downstairs," Eloise replied thoughtfully. She paused, and added, "Alpha, Jack, thank you. Also, you were wrong about one thing. We're ju

    "If I were you, I’d send her away," Eric’s voice sliced through the heavy silence of the room. His gaze held no warmth as he thought back to Ainsley "She had a lot to do with Aura’s death, you know. And you, Alpha Ainsley... You’re just shocked by how much Eloise has changed. After all, the two grew up together. You’re just shocked by what she’s become. That’s all."The words struck Ainsley like a punch in the gut, yet he said nothing for a moment. His chest tightened, but he couldn’t bring himself to argue. He simply murmured, “Let me think about it.” His voice sounded hollow to his own ears.As the Alpha of the Litha Night Walker Pack, Ainsley had been conditioned from childhood to believe that mates were unnecessary distractions, that emotions were weaknesses. He’d grown up to be a leader, not a lover, and for the longest time, he hadn’t even questioned it. But now... Now, the walls that had kept him distant from everyone, from her, were crumbling. Eloise, the very woman he had onc

    Ainsley slouched back in his chair like it was his throne, the weight of his thoughts pressing down on him like a lead blanket. The flickering light from his desk lamp cast shadows across the room, but none of them could match the dark cloud hanging over his mood. Eric broke the silence, his question hanging in the air like a stubborn fly."Ainsley, it’s not because of her, is it?" Eric asked, his finger tapping out a beat on the desk. The rhythm was annoyingly steady, like a metronome ticking down to his doom.Ainsley didn’t budge. He didn’t even flinch. His gaze was as cold as a freezer in Antarctica. Jacob, on the other hand, was practically vibrating with curiosity. He leaned in, practically licking his lips. "For her? Who? Spill it, man. Who are we talking about?"Eric’s stare never wavered, but Jacob’s playful smirk was the real problem here. "Alpha Ainsley, have you found your mate? Who’s the lucky lady? What pack does she belong to? When can we meet your future Luna? Are we ta

    The night air was thick with tension as Gary’s car came to a stop, the wheels grinding to a halt next to Alex. The distance between them felt like miles, the silence hanging heavy, but Alex didn’t move. He stood rooted to the ground, watching as Gary hesitated before getting into the car.Gary’s eyes flickered briefly towards Alex, his face filled with guilt and something like regret. With a deep sigh, he finally spoke, his voice heavy with an emotion Alex couldn’t place. “Beta Alex,” he said, looking at him through the windshield. “We failed to raise that girl right. Everything that happened to Aura... was all her fault. I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry.”The words were like a cold slap, but they didn’t sting as much as they should have.If Eloise were here, she would be devastated too, Alex thought, the anger churning in his chest. But she wasn’t here. She hadn’t confessed her own sins, and yet, her father stood there, offering up apologies for her. How many times has he been asked to tak

    Gary couldn’t believe what he was hearing. The words hit him like a freight train. Did Eloise just say that Ainsley owns Club Scarlet Heart? Ainsley? The Alpha of the Litha Night Walker Pack?Gary, the Alpha of the Golden Moon Pack, couldn’t process this fast enough. He was used to being in control, to commanding the situation. But this… this left him scrambling. He quickly tried to gather his thoughts. But as the pieces fell into place, his face twisted with rage. He growled, "Bitch! You’ve crossed paths with Alpha Ainsley again?"Eloise felt the bitter sting of his words. Her chest tightened with disappointment. Is this really how he reacts? Is this really the first thing he thinks of when he hears Ainsley’s name?She couldn’t believe it. He wasn’t concerned about her. About what she had been through. He wasn’t even concerned that his daughter had been imprisoned. No, what bothered him was Ainsley. Is that all that matters to you?Eloise fought to swallow the lump in her throat, try

    Pamela bent down, her trembling hands reaching for Eloise, who had collapsed to the floor. Eloise didn’t resist; her body sagged beneath the weight of the years she’d carried. She slowly lifted her head, her eyes hollow with a coldness that seemed foreign to the mother who once held her in her arms.Eloise tried to speak but only a broken, hoarse sound came out. She winced, her throat raw, but even at that moment of pain, she knew she could not hide the damage in her voice. It was a voice ruined by years of neglect, imprisonment, and hardship. A voice no parent should have to hear.Pamela hesitated, then placed her hand on Eloise’s shoulder. But her touch wasn’t comforting; it felt like a cold reminder of how disconnected they had become. Eloise raised her head fully, her gaze locking with her mother's, her breath coming in shallow gasps.She stopped trying to hide the cracked, broken sound of her voice. She realized something: they weren’t here to show concern for her at all. No one

    Pamela was shoved to the ground, but instead of anger, she felt an unsettling stillness. She didn’t move, only stared up at Gary, her heart heavy but resolute.“Gary, calm down,” she said softly, her voice steady despite the tremor in her chest. “Listen to what Eloise has to say. You shouldn’t have hit her. No matter what happened, she didn’t deserve that.”Eloise stood there, pale as a ghost, her body frozen with shock. She reached down to help Pamela, but before she could, someone grabbed her wrist. The grip was firm and harsh.“Don’t touch my Luna with your filthy hands!” Gary’s voice was sharp, cutting through the tension in the room like a blade.Eloise stood frozen, filthy hands? She shook her head slowly, unable to respond with words, her body trembling as the words hit her like a slap. How could he say that to her? She was his daughter, his flesh and blood, yet she was nothing but dirt in his eyes.With a hollow laugh, she spoke through clenched teeth. “Alpha Gary... I agree w

    Eloise's heart was heavy with an overwhelming sense of defeat. The fight within her seemed to vanish, drained away by a force beyond her control. Why resist? She thought, as her shoulders slumped in resignation. Let him pull me along, like a puppet on a string. When he’s finally had enough of me, when he doesn't even want to look at me anymore, I’ll quietly slip away.The thought of leaving, of finding some peace, was almost a comfort. At least it would be on her terms, and not at the whim of someone who had never truly cared for her, someone who believed she was just another possession to be discarded when no longer needed.But then, Ainsley’s voice shattered her dark thoughts. "Eloise, stop cursing Aura. She’s dead, and you’re still alive. Don't you think it's pathetic to be consumed with hatred for someone who isn’t even here anymore? It’s not worth it."His words were an unexpected blow. For a brief moment, Eloise felt a flicker of something. Did he care? How could that be? How co

    Eloise’s expression was heavy, her words sharp like a dagger. “My biggest mistake was falling in love with you.” The seriousness in her voice, the coldness in her eyes, sent a shiver through Ainsley. It was the same Eloise he had once known, the one who had stood before him, time and again, passionately declaring they were destined by the Moon Goddess. She had insisted that they were mates, meant to be together forever.But now, the same woman who had once clung to him with unwavering belief, was telling him she was wrong. That she had made a mistake. What did that even mean? Ainsley thought, his chest tightening as confusion and pain coursed through him. She was going to correct her mistake? She had spent so much time convincing him that they were everything to each other, only to now tell him it was all a lie?He didn't understand. His heart twisted painfully, an ache that seemed to come out of nowhere. It was as if something inside him was unraveling, and he couldn't stop it. But o

    Ainsley stood over Eloise, his gaze fixed on her still form lying on the bed. His eyes burned with an intense, aching regret, the sight of blood staining the corner of her mouth eating away at him.What have you done, Ainsleyy, can you hear her? She said she regretted loving us. If she hates us, we’ll be weak. Talk nicely to her, Adrian roared angrily at Ainsley and, for the first time, he didn’t snap at Adrian, he didn’t tell him to shut up. It was as though the weight of everything had finally come crashing down.Aura’s face, once so vivid in his memory, was now nothing but a blur. But Eloise, Eloise was different. For three long years, he had never been able to shake her from his thoughts.She’s not the same. Why is she like this?Eloise, so fierce and proud, had never been one to speak ill of others. But now… now she lay there, a shadow of the woman he once knew, and it broke something deep inside him."I can't bear to see you like this..." he murmured, his voice cracking with uns
