LIANA

I froze the moment I came face to face with James, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest. Every nerve in my body screamed for me to run, but I stood rooted to the spot, terrified he would recognize me.

I could almost feel Sara's breath hitch behind me, her fear mirroring my own.

The seconds stretched into an eternity as I braced for the inevitable confrontation.

My mind raced with the potential fallout. If James recognized us, all our careful planning and risky visit would be for nothing. Everything we had worked for would collapse like a house of cards. I could already see our plans unraveling, leaving us exposed and vulnerable.

But then, in a twist that left me reeling, James simply walked past us.

His eyes barely skimmed over us, showing no hint of recognition. It was as if we were invisible, just two more faces in the crowd.

I could hardly believe it. The tension drained from my body, replaced by a mix of relief and confusion.

Had we really just escaped unnoticed, o

    LIANA"What are you two doing here?" I blurted out, my voice betraying a mixture of surprise and anxiety.Zaylen's expression was a mix of concern and disapproval as he glanced between Sara and me. "We can ask you both the same question," he replied evenly, his voice tinged with a hint of reproach. "Weren't you about to have a fun girls’ night with Sara? Is this your idea of fun?"Zaylen's protective instincts were as sharp as ever, and I knew we had some explaining to do.Before I could respond, Jordan stepped forward, his presence adding another layer of tension to the already charged atmosphere. "No, Zay, you are wrong," he interjected smoothly, his voice calm but laced with a hint of amusement. "They were just about to chill at home and binge-watch movies."Zaylen nodded with a mocking smile. “Oh, right. They both told us different things."I exchanged a panicked glance with Sara, our disguises suddenly feeling flimsy under the scrutiny of our significant others. James might not

    LIANAI sat at the café table, tension palpable in the air as I laid out the pieces of information I had gathered about Lara. Sara sat beside me, quietly supportive, while Zaylen and Jordan listened across from us."Lara sometimes leaves her home only after midnight," I began, my voice steady despite the frustration bubbling beneath the surface.Zaylen raised an eyebrow skeptically. "That doesn't specify she is going to murder people," he countered, his tone cautious.I sighed, feeling more frustration knotting in my stomach. "She is in a relationship with James again," I continued, hoping this detail would strike a chord.Zaylen leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. "Again, Liana, not related," he insisted, his skepticism unwavering.My frustration peaked, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "She also attended the same high school as the murder victims," I added pointedly, hoping this detail would finally break through his skepticism.Zaylen was speechless for a moment, his

    LIANA“So… what information did you find from your tabs?” I inquired, curious."Well, to start with, Lara only goes out after midnight because she volunteers at an old-aged home during the night shift," he explained patiently. "And as for James and Lara having a relationship, it's not that. James also only lives in that apartment complex, not as Lara’s boyfriend."Sara leaned forward, her brow furrowed in confusion. "So Lara's boyfriend is somebody else entirely?" she asked, seeking clarification.Zaylen nodded again, his expression serious. "Yes," he confirmed, and it made me question a lot of things, my anger returning."If you knew all of that, then why did you charge me so much for visiting their neighborhood if they are harmless?" I demanded sharply, my hands resting firmly on the table.Zaylen met my gaze evenly, his expression serious. "I never said they are harmless," he replied evenly. "They are harmful to you, Liana, not to others. Besides, these two aren't smart enough for

    LIANAThe meeting hall was grand and imposing, its high ceilings and ornate decorations designed to instill a sense of reverence and authority. As Zaylen led me inside, I couldn't help but feel a flutter of nerves. I had been in this room before, but this time was different. This time, I was here to be scrutinized as Zaylen's mate, as the potential Luna of the pack.The elders were already assembled, their expressions ranging from curiosity to skepticism. I recognized Marcus and Sophia among them. Sophia gave me a warm smile, while Marcus's gaze was hard and unyielding."This is Liana," Zaylen announced, his voice strong and proud. "Everyone, I present to you my mate and the future Luna of our pack."Sophia nodded approvingly. "Welcome, Liana. It's good to see you again.""Thank you, Sophia," I replied, my voice steady but my heart pounding.Marcus, however, was less welcoming. "So, this is the human girl who recently discovered her werewolf heritage," he said, his tone dripping wi

    LIANAThe room was silent for a moment, and then a ripple of impressed murmurs spread through the elders. Even Marcus, who had been so skeptical, seemed to regard me with a newfound respect.Sophia leaned forward, a smile playing on her lips. "That’s a bold pledge, Liana. It takes courage to make such a promise."Elder Gregory nodded in agreement. "Indeed. Your determination is commendable. We need leaders who are willing to take action. After all, we have gotten nowhere with ongoing murders."I could feel Zaylen’s annoyance bubbling up through our telepathic link, his voice echoing in my mind. ‘Liana, this is reckless. You are putting yourself in unnecessary danger.’ His frustration was palpable, but I forced myself to ignore it, focusing instead on the task at hand.Marcus cleared his throat, drawing my attention back to him. "Very well, Liana. If you are truly determined to take on this mission, you have my permission. But know this: you will be held accountable for your actions. P

    LIANASophia approached me with a warm smile. "Liana, I believe you have the potential to be a great Luna. But potential needs to be nurtured. If you are to protect and lead this pack, you must be stronger. I would like to offer you training to enhance your abilities and fully embrace your werewolf nature."Her words filled me with both gratitude and anticipation. "Thank you, Sophia. I would be honored to train under your guidance."With the formalities concluded, I walked out of the meeting hall with my head held high.Just as I stepped into the hallway, Zaylen grabbed my arm and pulled me into a quiet corner, his face a mix of anger and concern."Why did you say that in there?" he demanded, his voice low but intense. "I told you to stay out of this case."“Wow, aren't you going to congratulate me on officially becoming the Luna?” I met his gaze, unflinching, and he didn't seem to be in the mood for light jokes, so I sighed. "Look, you told me to stay out of it,” I continued, “becau

    LIANAAs Jordan slid into the driver's seat, I watched the forest around us dim under the evening sky. I could feel his anticipation, the unease in his posture as he settled in beside me."Liana," Jordan began cautiously, his voice cutting through the silence that hung heavily between us. "There are already plenty of people posted around the forest. We don't need to go out and be on standby—""We are not going out for that reason," I interjected, my tone steady but tinged with a sense of urgency.Jordan glanced at me, his brow furrowing with concern. "Then?" he probed gently.I hesitated, my mind racing with how to explain our mission. Finally, I opened my mouth to respond, knowing Jordan wouldn't like my answer. However, he beat me to it. After all, he was a smart cookie."Are we investigating James and Lara? Please say no," Jordan pleaded quietly as he turned the key in the ignition, the car humming to life."Unfortunately for you, yes," I admitted, my voice firm but tinged with re

    LIANAMy heart raced as I backed away slowly, my gaze locked with James's, who now stood over Jordan and Mia's fallen form, his fangs bared in a menacing snarl."I have been waiting so long to see you again, Liana," James sneered, his voice filled with malice. "It's a shame you had to interfere. This was all supposed to be so perfect."Fear mingled with anger as I steadied myself, preparing to face him. "Why, James?" I demanded, my voice shaking slightly despite my efforts to stay composed. "Why help Lara with these murders?"James chuckled darkly, his eyes flickering with a dangerous intensity. "It was my idea, not hers," he admitted coldly. "She's just following my lead, like always."What? And here we thought it was related to Lara because of the relation of high school."Why, James?" I demanded, my voice trembling with a mix of fear and anger. "Why do all this?"James sneered, his expression twisted with bitterness. "Because of Zaylen," he spat out, his voice tinged with venom.

    LIANAThe morning sun poured through the curtains, casting a gentle light across our bedroom. I woke up to the soft, familiar hum of the world outside, the sound of birds chirping in the distance. I turned to see Zaylen sleeping beside me, his face relaxed in peaceful slumber. The sight of him always filled me with a profound sense of contentment and love.I stretched, carefully sliding out of bed to avoid waking him. Today wasn’t just any day—it was a day I had looked forward to for a long time. The house was still, the calm before the storm of our bustling family life. I tiptoed down the hallway, my heart swelling with excitement as I made my way to the nursery.Our twins had brought a new kind of joy into our lives, their arrival a culmination of love and anticipation. The nursery was painted in soft pastel colors, with a cozy crib in the corner and shelves lined with toys and books. The gentle hum of the white noise machine filled the room, blending with the soft sunlight filte

    LIANA It was mid-morning, and the office was bustling with the usual activity. The gentle hum of conversation and the clacking of keyboards filled the air, but I could barely focus on anything other than the growing discomfort and irritability that had become a constant companion over the past few weeks. I sat at my desk, my fingers drumming impatiently on the surface. The pile of paperwork before me seemed to mock my inability to concentrate. I sighed heavily, feeling a wave of frustration wash over me. Zaylen, ever observant, noticed my agitation from his office. He appeared at my desk, a look of concern etched on his face. “Hey, baby. How’s it going?” I glanced up, trying to muster a polite smile. “Just peachy,” I said, though the words were more of a snarl than anything else. “If you consider battling an insurm

    LIANA The next few days, I couldn’t shake a strange feeling. I was more tired than usual, and the scent of coffee, which I normally loved, was suddenly making me nauseous. Sara noticed my discomfort. “Liana, are you feeling okay?” she asked, her brow furrowed with concern. “I’m fine, just a bit tired” I replied, trying to brush it off. “Been feeling nauseous and my head is pounding these last few days.” Sara gave me a knowing look. “Maybe you should take a pregnancy test.” I blinked, surprised by her suggestion. “A pregnancy test?” She nodded. “There might be a possibility.” The idea was both thrilling and terrifying. Could it be possible? I decided to take Sara’s advice to heart. During my lunch break, I headed to the pharmacy just a few blocks away. The fluorescent lights and the hum of the store seemed unusually bright as I picked out a pregnancy test kit. My heart raced with a mix of excitement and anxiety as I made my way back to the office, clutchin

    LIANAThe past few months had flown by in a blissful haze. Our honeymoon had taken us from the Maldives to the enchanting streets of Paris, and finally, to the serene countryside of Tuscany. Each day had been filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. But now, it was back to reality—our reality, where Zaylen and I were not only husband and wife but also Alpha and Luna, and for the time being, colleagues.I walked into the office, the familiar scent of coffee and paper filling the air. As I made my way to my desk, I couldn’t help but feel a flutter of excitement mixed with nerves. This was our first day back after the long honeymoon, and though I was eager to dive back into work, I couldn’t ignore the butterflies in my stomach.Zaylen’s office door was slightly ajar, and as I passed by, I saw him sitting behind his desk, engrossed in a document. He looked up, catching my eye, and a slow, mischievous smile spread across his face.“Good morning, my Luna,” he called out, his

    LIANAThe following morning, we decided to explore more of the city. After a quick breakfast, we set off to visit the Louvre Museum. As we walked through the grand halls, admiring the masterpieces, Zaylen kept me close, his hand never leaving mine."Look at this one," he said, pointing to a painting. "Doesn't it remind you of one of our dates?"“The one we had just before you proposed to me?” I asked to be sure. As he nodded, I laughed, remembering that endearing evening. "It does. We have come a long way, haven't we?""We have," he agreed, his eyes softening as he looked at me. "And I wouldn't change a thing."We continued our tour, losing ourselves in the beauty of the art and the history that surrounded us. As we exited the museum, we found a street vendor selling crepes. Zaylen insisted on buying one for each of us, and we sat on a nearby bench, enjoying the sweet treat."These are delicious," I said, licking a bit of Nutella from my fingers."Almost as sweet as you," Zaylen tea

    LIANAThe Eiffel Tower stood tall and majestic against the twilight sky, its twinkling lights casting a romantic glow over the city of Paris. I marveled at the sight, my heart swelling with awe and excitement. Our long honeymoon had brought us from the tropical paradise of the Maldives to the enchanting streets of Paris, and I couldn't have been happier.Zaylen and I strolled hand in hand along the Seine River, the soft murmur of French conversations and the distant sound of street musicians creating a magical atmosphere. He looked dashing in a tailored suit, and I felt like a princess in my flowing dress."Isn't this beautiful?" I sighed, leaning my head on his shoulder."It is," he agreed, pressing a kiss to my temple. "But not as beautiful as you."I blushed, my heart fluttering at his words. "Always the charmer.""For you, always," he replied with a playful wink.As we walked, we passed a quaint café with outdoor seating. Zaylen tugged me toward it. "How about a little dessert?"

    LIANAThe soft rustling of palm trees and the rhythmic lapping of waves greeted me as I stepped onto the sunlit balcony. The warm, salty breeze of the Maldives caressed my face, bringing with it a sense of serene contentment I hadn't felt in years. The crystal-clear waters stretched out endlessly, a shimmering expanse of turquoise that promised days of relaxation and intimate moments with Zaylen.I leaned against the railing, closing my eyes and letting the sounds of paradise envelop me. A gentle smile tugged at my lips as I thought of Zaylen still asleep in our villa, the man who had turned my world upside down in the best way possible."Liana?" Zaylen's voice, husky with sleep, reached me, making my heart flutter.I turned to see him standing in the doorway, his dark hair tousled and his eyes still heavy with sleep. He looked so different from the domineering, fierce leader I had first met. Here, he was just Zaylen, my husband, the man I loved with all my heart."Good morning, sle

The anticipation and excitement in the air were palpable, mingling with the fragrant scents of blooming flowers and the soft rustle of leaves. Our wedding was set against a backdrop of lush greenery, the venue a picturesque garden that seemed to be alive with joy and celebration.The sun shone brightly, casting a warm, golden glow over everything. The ceremony was to be held in a charming outdoor setting, with a floral arch adorned with cascading white roses and delicate greenery.

    LIANAThe morning sun filtered through the canopy of trees, casting dappled light across the campsite. The soft, golden rays glinted off the sparkling surface of the waterfall, creating a mesmerizing display of light and water. The gentle roar of the falls provided a soothing soundtrack as the water cascaded into a clear, shimmering pool below.The campsite, nestled beside this natural wonder, was waking up with the day. The cool, fresh air carried the crisp scent of pine and morning dew. The grass was still damp from the night, and the tents stood slightly crumpled, evidence of a night spent in cozy slumber.Trevor, ever the early riser and mischief-maker, had a gleam in his eye as he set his plan into motion. He crept quietly towards Zaylen, who was enjoying a leisurely breakfast by the fire, unaware of the prank that was about to unfold. Trevor had filled a bucket with water and carefully rigged it to tip over when Zaylen’s chair was moved.I observed from a distance, sipping my
