Eloise brought the glass of whiskey to her lips, but as the liquid hit her throat, it felt like fire. She immediately began to cough, her body reacting violently to the burn. She coughed so hard that most of the whiskey spilled from her mouth, splashing across her shirt and the floor.

"Hey, Miss Anthony, the wine is expensive. Don’t waste it," George said with a sneer, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Around her, the others laughed, their voices mocking and loud. "Drink! Drink now!" one of them jeered, egging her on.

Someone else, voice laced with venom, added, "Miss Anthony doesn’t like it. Sammy, you should give her something better."

Laughter erupted again, filling the space with cruelty. Why do they hate me so much? Eloise’s heart sank as she looked around, trying to make sense of their mockery. But there was no answer. They simply enjoyed seeing her struggle.

Before she could retreat into herself, there was a sharp knock at the door. Everyone turned, startled. A second knock foll

    Ainsley glanced at his watch, his eyes cold, calculating. Then, without a hint of sympathy, he turned his gaze to Eloise. "It's a quarter past ten," he said flatly. "You have less than two hours to transfer the money to the card."The words struck Eloise like a punch to the gut. Her heart raced as the realization dawned: he didn't want the cash, and he certainly didn't want the cheque. He wanted one thing only: a million dollars on that card."You can't do this to me!" she protested, her voice cracking with disbelief."Yes, I can," Ainsley said with sudden, chilling cheerfulness. His lips curled into a slight smirk, a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. It was the smile of someone who enjoyed playing with his prey.Her temper flared. "Damn it!" she shouted, her fists clenching in frustration. This isn’t fair. It’s always a game for him.Eloise’s voice cut through the air, sharp and uncompromising. "Let me go," she demanded, her panic rising with each breath. "Rachael, take me to the ban

    Ainsley gazed at Eloise with a furrowed brow, his voice breaking the silence. “Why did you tear up the Cheque?”Eloise’s voice was steady, too steady, as though it were floating above the weight of the pain she carried. “It was just a piece of paper.”Ainsley couldn’t understand how she could speak those words with such calm. His eyes studied her, but it was as though he was looking at a stranger, someone who had mastered the art of hiding her suffering behind a mask of indifference.But Eloise’s despair ran deeper than any mask could cover. Beneath the surface of her calm demeanor, there was an overwhelming emptiness that ate away at her, suffocating her from within. She had given up everything, her pride, her dignity, her sense of self, only to watch it all slip through her fingers, powerless to stop it. And the Cheque… it meant nothing in the end. Her sacrifice had been for nothing. There was no redemption, no freedom, and at this very moment, all she could feel was the crushing we

    Eloise clutched her chest as the pain twisted inside her, the emotional weight suffocating. Don’t bother. Don’t try to make him believe you. She repeated it over and over in her head, as though it could drown out the agony coursing through her veins. But no matter how hard she tried, the look on Ainsley’s face shattered her. The calmness in his eyes, the indifference to her pain, it felt like a punch to her gut. She was crumbling, unraveling in front of him, and he didn’t even care.Her voice broke through the eerie silence, sharp and mocking, cutting her deeper than anything physical could. "Do you think Aura was innocent? Do you think she was perfect? Let me tell you something, she deserved it. She deserved to die!"Eloise’s breath caught in her throat, her heart hammering. She didn’t know how to react. The words were so cruel, so final. And then, Ainsley raised his hand, as if to strike her. She froze, her body tensing in anticipation of the blow. Her eyes instinctively shut tight,

    Rachael didn’t need Eloise to tell her about her past. She had already pieced it together herself. The hints had been subtle at first, but over time, they had become impossible to ignore. Eloise and Ainsley had a history. A deep, painful history that lingered between them like a shadow. Rachael had seen the way Ainsley’s gaze softened when he spoke about Aura, and how Eloise’s eyes would grow hard whenever the subject was brought up.Though Rachael had joined the Litha Night Walker Pack only two years ago, she had heard enough stories to understand the weight of Aura’s name. Aura had been the younger sister of Alex, the woman Ainsley had fallen in love with. But it wasn’t just a simple love story, it was a betrayal. Ainsley had rejected his fated mate, Eloise, for Aura. But then, one fateful night, Aura was murdered by rouges.It had devastated both Ainsley and Alex. And yet, Rachael had never understood how it had happened. She had heard about the strong protection from the Litha Nig

    The Beta of the Riders' Pack suddenly snapped his fingers, a thought racing through his mind. "I remember something," he said, his eyes lighting up with realization. "George mentioned Eloise when he called."Theodore’s face tightened as the memory hit him. "Eloise? From the Golden Moon Pack? Isn't she supposed to be in the werewolf prison?" His voice faltered slightly, but only for a moment. "Call Alpha Gary. I want to hear it straight from him."The night was dark and still when the phone call to Alpha Gary finally went through. The sleepy, irritated voice that answered the phone made it clear this was a disruption."What’s so urgent? It’s late," came Gary's groggy voice.Theodore smiled thinly, his tone smooth but sharp. "Alpha Gary, are you asleep?"The voice on the other end was slow to wake, but the mention of Theodore’s name piqued his attention. "Oh, it’s you, Alpha Theodore," Gary responded, now more alert. "What do you need at this hour?"Theodore leaned back in his chair, en

    The next morning, the soft light of dawn trickled through the blinds, illuminating Eloise's hospital room in muted tones. Despite the warmth of the sunlight, there was an overwhelming chill in the air. Eloise sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers gently tugging at the hem of her hospital gown, lost in her thoughts. The walls around her seemed to close in, as if they were a constant reminder of her past mistakes, the prison she had been trapped in for three long years.Eric entered the room, his footsteps deliberate and slow. He was carrying his usual aura of professionalism, but today, there was something different about him. Something was weighing heavily on his mind. As he looked at Eloise, his lips parted to speak, but his words seemed to falter for a moment. He cleared his throat and walked over to check her vitals.“You’re free to go, Eloise,” Eric said finally, as he jotted down a note on her chart."You’re healthy enough to leave the hospital. But I need to tell you something.

    Eloise never wanted to return to those memories. She wished she could banish them, push them away like a forgotten dream, but they wouldn't leave her alone. They clung to her, sharp and relentless, as if they had a life of their own. The past wasn’t something she could escape from; it was a weight that pressed on her chest, suffocating her, reminding her with every breath that she had been deceived, betrayed in the most unforgivable way.Once, Aura had said to her, with a look of worry in her eyes, “I don’t like Alpha Ainsley.”At the time, Eloise hadn’t given it much thought. It had been a fleeting comment, a passing feeling. Aura was a sensitive soul, prone to moods, and her discomfort with Ainsley, the Alpha, was nothing more than a trivial concern. But now, those words were etched in Eloise's mind, haunting her. Why hadn't I listened?Then there was that other time when Aura had comforted her, speaking with the gentle care only a true friend could offer. “It’s okay, Eloise. You’re

    "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

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    Hypocrite

    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
