Drake

I was about to slide my pants down when we heard a knock at the door, I let out a groan, and Zelda laughed.

“Oh, come on, we've got to answer it,” she said, giving me a gentle nudge.

I sighed and stood up, grumbling under my breath as Zelda covered herself with blankets.

When I opened the door, my anger immediately dissipated as I took in the sight before me. A guard stood on my doorstep, his face contorted with worry. His brow was furrowed, and his eyes were wide with concern.

He looked at me with a pleading expression, and my heart sank. Something was clearly wrong, and I knew it must be serious. My mind raced as I tried to figure out what could be the matter. I was completely perplexed, unsure of what to do next.

The guard stood there, his eyes full of pain. I waited for him to speak, but he seemed unable to find the words.

“What is it?” I asked, my voice quivering.

“Someone attacked the border,” he finally said, his voice shaking.

I felt my heart sink into my stomach. This

    ZeldaI watched Drake leave the room, his shoulders hunched and his head bowed. He looked defeated, and I could feel the tension in the air. I wanted to ask him what was wrong, but I would rather not push him if he didn't want to talk.I know how it feels to have someone prying into your life, and I don't want to do that to anyone else. It's a fine line to walk, wanting to help but not wanting to intrude.

I didn't want to think about it, I didn't want to remember. But it was hard to forget, the sensation remained fresh in my mind.

He stood there, a small smile playing on his lips. “I'm earnest,” he said, his voice full of mirth. I stopped laughing, looking at him in disbelief. “You are kidding, right?” I asked, my voice laced with doubt.“No, I'm not kidding,” he said, his voice firm. “You can't rely on me to be with you all the time.

    ZeldaAs I tried to slow my racing heart, the woman stepped in front of me, blocking my path. She looked familiar, but I couldn't figure out where I had seen her before.“Excuse me,” I said, trying to step around her. But she refused to budge, her eyes fixed on me.“Do you think you can ever be our Luna?” she said, her voice filled with disgust. I was taken aback by her words, not understanding what she was talking about.“I… I don't know what you mean,” I stammered, my heart sinking.“You can never be the Luna or queen,” she repeated, her voice full of venom. “We don't want you here.”I felt like the world was collapsing around me, my mind spinning with so many questions.“You don't have to need me,” I said, a smile on my face. “Drake wants me, and that's what matters to me.” But she just laughed, a bitter, sarcastic laugh.“Oh, sweetheart,” she said, her voice dripping with scorn. “Drake will toss you aside like a used toy.”I felt like she had punched me in the gut, the words hit

    DrakeZelda's brow was furrowed, and there was a look of worry on her face. I leaned in and gave her a soft peck on the cheek. “It's nothing to worry about,” I said, my voice soothing.She managed a smile, but it didn't quite reach her eyes. Her eyes were still clouded with concern, and I could tell she was trying to hide it.“Really?” she asked, her voice uncertain. I nodded, and took her hand in mine. “Trust me,” I said, my voice gentle.“Okay,” she muttered, but I could tell she didn't quite believe me.I couldn't blame her, really. If the roles were reversed, I probably wouldn't have believed her either. But I was determined to make her see that there was nothing to worry about.“I promise, everything is fine,” I said, my tone firm.She looked up at me, her eyes searching for mine for reassurance. I held her gaze, wanting her to see the truth in my words. “Okay,” she said again, this time her voice was more sure.“By the way, you look perfect with a sword,” I said, trying to c

    DrakeI stood there, transfixed by the sight of the dead man in front of me. His blood pooled on the floor, a stark reminder of the violence that had just occurred. I tried to process what had happened, but my mind felt like a jumbled mess. What did this man's death mean? And why had he chosen to take his life rather than betray his boss? Was his boss a powerful man? A man with the power to make someone take their life rather than risk crossing him?“Search the body for any proof,” I said to my beta.“Yes, Alpha,” my beta said, his voice steady and calm. He knelt down next to the body and began to search it, looking for any clues that might help us solve this mystery. I watched, my heart still racing, as he carefully went through the man's pockets. Finally, he pulled something out. A small piece of paper, crumpled and stained with blood. I held my breath as my beta slowly unfolded it. What would it say?But when he opened it up, there was nothing written on it. Just a blank p

A nagging thought kept pulling at the corners of my mind until I could no longer ignore it. I sat up, my heart pounding in my chest.I looked around, but Drake was nowhere to be found. I stood up, my legs feeling shaky beneath me. I put on my slippers and held my nightgown close around me. I walked to his chambers, my heart beating faster with every step. I hesitated outside his door, my hand hovering over the knob. Should I go in? What if he was still asleep?I turned the knob and stepped inside. The room was empty. I stepped outside and saw one of the maids in the hallway.“Where's the Alpha?” I asked, my voice trembling slightly. “He's gone on a journey, my lady,” she replied, her eyes downcast.I was angry at Drake for leaving without saying goodbye. I felt like he should have woken me up, e

    DrakeThree years later.I stood at the grave, my hands clutching the flowers I had brought. My kids stood beside me, their eyes fixed on the stone before them. I took a deep breath, clearing my throat. “Owen looks exactly like you,” I said, my voice quivering. “I know you're not here, but occasionally I believe you are.” I paused, my eyes hard as I looked at my kids. “He's as strong as you are. He's selfless, just like you. You would have loved him.” The words hung in the air, heavy with emotion.“Sometimes it's difficult to believe that you're not here with us, that I won't ever hear your voice again or feel your touch. Sometimes I think it's all a nightmare, that I'll wake up and everything will be like it was before. But I never do. The truth is, life without you is hard. I find it hard to trust anyone, to open up to anyone. “My kids ran off, giggling as they chased each other through the grass. I got up to follow them, making sure they didn't go too far.

    ZeldaNine Months Later.I looked in the mirror, my eyes drawn to the slight bulge in my belly. I placed my hand on my stomach, feeling the life within. It was a strange sensation, one that filled me with both joy and fear. I was growing, my body changing, my life changing. But I was still me, still whole. And that was all that mattered to me. I traced my fingers over my cheeks, feeling the slight swelling of my nose. Drake said I looked beautiful, but I couldn't see it. All I saw was a monster. But he loved me anyway.He still wasn't happy that I was keeping the pregnancy, but I knew in my heart that this was the right decision.

    ZeldaI couldn't tell how long I'd been unconscious, but when I opened my eyes, my head was pounding. I struggled to sit up, but someone helped me, supporting my weight. I looked up, and my heart sank. It was Drake. His expression was unreadable, and I was unable to remember the last time he had smiled. “Where's my family?” I asked, my voice breaking. I was afraid of the answer. “The doctor had asked that we give you some space,” he said. I nodded, my mind racing. He was staring at me with a strange look in his eyes, and I knew something was wrong. “What is it?” I asked, my heart in my throat. “Nothing,” he said, his voice monotone. I knew he was lying. We'd known each other for too long. He knew I could see right through him. I waited, the silence weighing on me like a heavy blanket. “Just tell me,” I said, my voice shaking. He let out a long sigh. “You're pregnant,” he said, his voice low and serious. My jaw dropped, and I looked down at my stomach. “I thought about what the

    ZeldaI heard footsteps approaching, and my heart leapt into my throat. A guard appeared, a limp body slung over his shoulder. He dropped the body on the floor, and I held my breath, dreading what I would see. The guard stood back, his face pale. “He's dead,” he said, his voice flat. I forced myself to take a step forward, my knees shaking. I knelt beside the body, my hands trembling as I reached out to touch it. I pulled back the blood-stained cloak, revealing the face of Jake.“Jake, the Fierce,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “Don't do this. You can't leave like this.” I reached out to touch his cold cheek, my hands shaking. I looked down at him, my heartbreaking as I took in his broken body. “Please… please don't go.” I cradled his body in my arms, my tears falling like rain.My mother rushed to my side, her arms wrapping around me. “Shh, my dear. Be strong,” she murmured. Drake stood in front of me, his eyes hard and unyielding. His arms were crossed behind his back, hi

    ZeldaI felt Jake's hand slip from my grasp, and I heard a sickening thud as he hit the rocks below. I wanted to believe he was still alive, but I knew it was a futile hope. I sank to my knees, my eyes fixated on the jagged cliff that loomed before me. “Jake! Jake! Jake!” I heard Drake’s voice as he called out, but the only response was the echo of his own voice. Desperately, Drake yelled again, his voice hoarse and cracking. But there was no reply, only a heavy silence. I turned to Drake, his expression unreadable. “Let's go,” he said quietly, his voice heavy with grief. “No!” I cried, shaking my head. “We have to find him! We have to save him!” I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. I couldn't accept that he was gone. Drake took my face in his hands, his eyes filled with sadness. “He's dead, Zelda,” he said softly, his voice cracking. “I'm so sorry.” I shook my head, refusing to accept that Jake was gone, and then I freed myself from hi

I was too far away, the space between us was too great. “I can't reach you, Drake,” I cried, my voice cracking. He took a step closer, his eyes pleading. “Just try, Zelda,” he said, his voice shaking.I strugg

He responded, his mind filled with a sense of urgency and determination.Cindy's wolf was impossibly fast, making it difficult for me to shift into my wolf form.

I could feel my wrists and ankles bound, my body aching with the strain of being tied up. My head pounded, a dull ache spreading from the base of my skull. As I took stock of my surroundings, I noticed that I was in a small stone room, the only light coming from a small window high above my head. The room was bare, save for a single wooden chair in the corner.The last thing I remembered was a sudden, blinding pain as something hit me on the head. Now, here I was, tied up and at the mercy of Cindy, a woman who had always been a pest in my life.“Why are you doing this?” I asked, my voice cracking with fear. Cindy's smirk only widened, her dark eyes glittering with malice. “Oh, you know what you did,” she said, her voice dripping with venom.

    Zelda“My lady,” a voice called from behind me, making me jump. I turned around to see a maid standing there, her gaze fixed firmly on the floor. “Your room is ready,” she said, her tone deferential. “How many miles is it from here to Cindy's grandmother's house?” I asked, my voice betraying my anxiety. The maid hesitated, then said, “I do not know, my lady.” I felt a wave of frustration, but I bit my tongue. “Thank you,” I said, my tone cool.I pulled the curtains closed, blocking out the moonlight. With a weary sigh, I let my shoulders slump. “My lady,” the maid said, “I hope you find the room to your liking.” I nodded my thanks, too tired to speak. She left me alone, and I entered the room, closing the door behind me. I sank onto the bed, its softness enveloping me. The silence was broken only by the ticking of the clock on the wall.
