Sebastian had taken up residence in Seth’s office. He didn’t care where his grandfather would spend his last weeks as the grand Alpha, because Sebastian had forbidden Seth to do anything anymore. Even though they were waiting for the full moon for the celebrations, the change of leadership was already in effect.
The office was filled with antiques and shelves stacked with leather-bound books. It was too dark for Sebastian’s liking, but it was not his priority to change right now. Instead, he focused his attention on Adam, who was reading some report. He was glowing, so surely, he had sex with Enora again.
The jealousy was eating away at Sebastian, and he wanted to know. He didn’t know what exactly he wanted to know, but he wanted Enora more than anything. Yet, she continued to run away from him. Sebastian knew that Lucas wanted the same, but he had mentioned earlier that for now he was okay with being able to touch all parts of her at the gym.
Enora breathed a sigh of relief as she stepped out of her car and onto the bustling streets of the city. After spending a week in the community, she welcomed the change of scenery and the familiar sights and sounds of urban life. The anonymity of the city had always been her sanctuary.Her first stop was to meet up with her friends at their favorite café. As she walked through the door, she was greeted with warm smiles and cheerful greetings. It felt good to be surrounded by familiar faces, and she quickly settled into a comfortable rhythm as they caught up on each other’s lives.Over cups of steaming coffee and plates of decadent pastries, Enora shared her recent experiences with her friends. She told them about the progress of the event planning in a close-knit community like Moonlit, and about the struggles to resist the pull of desire that seemed to grow stronger with each passing day.Her friends listened intently, offering words of comfort and
Leonora hung up the phone with her daughter quite suddenly. She had heard enough for all the dots to be connected in her mind, and she hurried outside to find her husband.“Elio?”, she asked loudly. He came out into her view wiping his hands on some cloth.“Yes, what’s wrong dear?”, he asked, confused by the panic he saw in his wife’s eyes.“It’s Enora… Her work, the event… Moonlit.”, Leonora tried to get out, but she was hyperventilating out of fear for her daughter. Elio tried to calm her down and walked her back to the house to get a glass of water for his wife. He sat her down on a chair and knelt by her knees.“Now, tell me. What’s wrong with Enora?”, Elio asked kindly.“Last time Enora was here, she mentioned that she was feeling the mate bond, you remember?”, Leonora started. Elio nodded. “Well, she had mentioned that it was not one man, b
As the days drew closer to the much-anticipated celebrations in the Moonlit pack, Enora found herself back on the pack grounds, immersed in a whirlwind of final preparations. She had wanted to come back here early, because she knew there was still a lot to do before the place would look as she had envisioned it.She had expected there to be a buzz in the air of excitement, but there was nothing. The community continued to do as they always did, and nothing hinted at celebrations that were happening in a couple of days. Enora found it strange and decided to pay a visit to Grace.She knocked on the door and heard a reply coming from inside the house.“Grace?”, Enora asked as she stepped inside tentatively.“Yes, my dear?”, Grace answered, as always coming from the kitchen, wiping her hands on a towel. “Enora! Good to see you again, my child.”Enora was enveloped in a big hug from the smaller woman, but it made her
Enora stood at the entrance of the opulent ballroom, her heart pounding with excitement and nervous anticipation. With clammy hands, she smoothed the fabric of her dress, looking the part of the friendly host. The grand event she had meticulously planned and orchestrated was about to unfold, and every detail had to be flawless. Her career depended on it. As the event coordinator for one of the most prestigious even planning firms in the city, Enora was accustomed to handling high-profile clients and extravagant affairs, and all the demands that came with those. But tonight’s event was different. It was highly exclusive, invitation-only, and themed around the sultry allure of burlesque, even though it was a fundraiser for the biggest hospital in town. Natalie, Enora’s boss and the owner of the firm, paced nervously beside her. “Did you check the drinks?”, she asked Enora. Enora nodded. “What about the glasses? Are they spotless?”, she probed. Enora nodded. “Are the hors d’oeuvres
The weekend dawned bright and clear, casting a warm glow over the quaint neighborhood where Enora’s parents lived. As she stepped through the front door of their cozy family home, she was greeted by the comforting aroma of her mother’s home-cooked meals.“Enora, darling, you’re just in time for lunch.”, her mother called out from the kitchen. A smile lit up her face as she bustled about, starting to set the table with an array of delicious dishes.Enora smiled in return. She had aimed on purpose to be in time for lunch, in dire need of some real, home-cooked food. She already felt the stress of the week melting away. Enora kicked off her shoes and made her way to the kitchen, enveloped in the warmth of her childhood home. She took a seat on a bar stool and watched her mom finish her cooking.The kitchen was a place of comfort and familiarity for Enora, a sanctuary where she had spent countless hours as a child, watching her mom work her culinary magic. She had sat in this very same pl
Enora stepped into the bustling office of the company and was greeted by the familiar sight of desks cluttered with papers and catalogues, and the sound of phones ringing off the hook. Despite the chaos, there was an air of excitement that permeated the atmosphere, a sense of anticipation for the next big event on the horizon. Natalie, her boss and the owner of the firm, greeted her with a warm smile as she entered the room. “Enora, so glad you could make it.”, she said, motioning for her to take a seat. “I have something exciting to discuss with you. But first, I want to talk to you about the fundraiser.” Enora took a seat nervously and waited for her boss to say something. “You did amazingly on the fundraiser, and our client was extremely happy with how the event turned out. Though there still were some little details that could have been better, you managed to get some wealthy guests to attend and to contribute to the cause.”, Natalie said. It was very typical for Natalie to al
In a remote corner of the countryside, nestled among towering trees and lush greenery, stood the imposing silhouette of a grand mansion. This was the home of Seth Griffin, Alpha of the Moonlit pack, and Alpha of Alphas on this continent. Seth sat in his study, hunched over as if his shoulders literally felt the burden of the responsibilities of his leadership. His features etched with determination as he dialed a familiar number on his phone. He had been putting off this conversation for far too long, but the time had come to pass the torch to the next generation. Even Seth could no longer deny this fate. The phone rang several times before it was finally answered on the other end. A masculine, deep voice answered him with an annoyed twinge to it. “Granddad.”, it stated. Seth sighed heavily, knowing that he was to blame for the strained relation between the two. One of many that he wronged along the way for his greed for power and wealth. He knew that his grandson tolerated him me
Enora had always prided herself on her independence and self-reliance. She was a strong woman, both physically and mentally, but hearing how worried her parents were for her, living alone in the city.To please them, and to find an outlet for her frustrations, Enora decided that she wanted to sign up for self-defense classes. She still believed it wasn’t necessary, but if it got her parents of her back, it might just be worth it.As she entered the gym, Enora was greeted by the sound of weights clanging and the faint hum of conversation. The atmosphere was charged with energy, and she felt a surge of excitement course through her veins. Making her way to the front desk, Enora introduced herself to the receptionist and expressed her interest in the self-defense classes. The receptionist, a friendly woman with a warm smile, handed her a registration form and explained the class schedule.Enora quickly filled out the form and handed it back, her anticipation growing with each passing mom
