THE PREVIOUS DAY. Seated upon his throne, Edward sensed a growing unease within his heart. As he looked out upon his Pack, his gaze fell upon Olivia, and he couldn't help but notice a subtle change in her demeanor. Something seemed off, something he couldn't quite put his finger on. It gnawed at him, stirring a mix of concern and confusion within his soul.He watched as she moved through the room, her once radiant smile replaced with a distant look in her eyes. Her interactions with others lacked their usual warmth, and a shadow seemed to hang over her like a veil. Edward's brow furrowed in silent contemplation, his mind racing to find an explanation for her peculiar behavior.As he sat upon his throne, his responsibilities as Pack Alpha demanded his attention. Documents from neighboring packs awaited his signature, formalities to maintain the delicate balance of alliances and trade agreements. His duty compelled him to fulfill these obligations, but his heart remained unsettled.Pen
As the days unfolded, Edward's love and devotion for Olivia only grew stronger. He made it his mission to ensure her well-being and happiness, attending to her every need with unwavering dedication.One morning, as they sat together in the Pack's garden, Edward gently brushed a strand of hair behind Olivia's ear. "You've been through so much, my love," he murmured, his voice filled with tenderness. "I want to take care of you, to be your rock."Olivia looked up at him, her eyes filled with gratitude. "You already are, Edward. You've shown me so much love and support, and I'm grateful for every moment."He smiled, his gaze filled with warmth. "I'll always be here for you, through thick and thin. You're not alone in this, Olivia. We're in this together."Later that week, as they strolled along a secluded path in the woods, Edward noticed a slight frown on Olivia's face. Concern etched his features as he reached out to hold her hand. "What's troubling you, my love?"Olivia hesitated, her
Olivia's heart soared with joy as she walked beside Edward, her hand entwined with his. The meeting with the Council of Elders had surpassed all her expectations. The council members, though initially skeptical, had been won over by the undeniable strength of their bond and the authenticity of their love.As they strolled through the moonlit pack grounds, Olivia couldn't contain her happiness. A radiant smile adorned her face, her eyes sparkling with a newfound sense of purpose. She felt like she was floating on a cloud, enveloped in a euphoria that seemed to make the world around her shine brighter."I can't believe it," Olivia gushed, her voice filled with unbridled excitement. "The council... they accepted me, Edward! They acknowledged our love, and soon I'll be your Luna."Edward's expression mirrored her elation, his eyes reflecting both pride and adoration. "You deserve every bit of it, my love," he replied, his voice laced with affection. "Your strength, resilience, and unwaver
As soon as Olivia left the pack, Edward's mind started to wander. He couldn't help but think about how much he wanted to be with someone, anyone, in a physical way. His wolf was hungry for sex, and he knew that he needed to find a way to satisfy those desires without jeopardizing his relationship with Olivia.He tried to push those thoughts aside, focusing on his duties as the pack's alpha. But every time he saw a woman in a skirt, his mind would start to race. He knew that he needed to find a way to control his urges, but he wasn't sure how.“Sir, your meal is ready,” one of his maidens said to him. He turns to see that she is a beauty and one that could help him get over his hunger. “Do you mind letting me make love to you?” He asked like a gentleman.The maiden's mouth widened in awe at Edward's request. She had heard rumors about the alpha's insatiable appetite, but she never expected him to proposition her so boldly."I'm sorry, sir," she stammered, "but I cannot comply with your
Edward had found a conquest to satisfy his sexual urge.“You haven’t told me your name yet,” he said as he walked into the room.“I thought you were never going to ask, I am Diane by the way.”“I am Edward,” he introduced too.They both stared at each other and it felt as though Edward was being hypnotized."Help me with the zip," she whispered after an awkward silence. The short dress she was wearing had the zipper at the back and she was yet to pull it up because she was feeling hot. She heard him sigh softly, then he placed his large palm on her back and slowly ran it over her skin, leaving a soothing sensation in his wake. When his palm got to her waist, he paused and moved in, leaning on her frame. She felt his warm breath on her skin as he flickered the tip of his tongue over it, making her shiver. "Diane," he snaked his hands into her dress and around her waist again then buried his face in the curves of her neck. He carefully bit into it and then blew some hot air on the ski
Kael stared at Nadine, his eyes filled with contempt. He couldn't hide his disdain for her, and he muttered under his breath, "You are the most stupid girl I have ever come across." Nadine's heart sank as she heard his words, her eyes welling up with tears that soaked the blindfold covering her eyes. She remained silent, unable to find the words to respond.Taking a step closer, Kael's voice turned cold and venomous as he continued to berate her. "Listen carefully, Nadine. I don't care what you're wearing, be it rags or a man's pajamas. I will marry you, but don't you dare think you have any control or power in this relationship. You're nothing more than a pawn to me. I am only marrying you because I have to bear an heir for the pack before Edward does."Trembling, Nadine managed to choke out a weak response. "Kael, please... Why are you treating me like this? I don't deserve this kind of treatment. Because I'm not in your line of status doesn't give you the right to treat me like thi
Aldine's heart sank, but he knew better than to question Kael's orders. He had seen firsthand the cruelty and ruthlessness that lay beneath the facade of the soon-to-be king. Gathering his courage, he spoke with a tone of determination tinged with trepidation."I promise you, Your Highness, I will not fail you. I will keep a close watch on Nadine and ensure she doesn't escape or cause any trouble. You have my word."Kael's eyes narrowed, his voice laced with a warning. "See to it that you do so, Aldine. I won't hesitate to deal with you personally if you let her slip through your fingers. I expect unwavering loyalty and efficiency from you."Aldine's heart raced, the weight of Kael's threat bearing down on him. He understood the consequences of failure all too well. Taking a deep breath, he composed himself and responded, "I will not disappoint you, Your Highness. I will remain steadfast in my duties and protect your interests."Kael's gaze softened slightly, though his tone remained
Kael, in his ruthless and devious nature, found himself standing amidst the members of the Dark Moon pack, his tall and imposing figure casting shadows in the dimly lit chamber. He paced back and forth, his footsteps echoing forbiddenly through the cold, stone walls, as his mind raced with dark schemes and twisted plots. His eyes narrowed, a sinister glint reflecting in them as he contemplated his next move, his fingers tapping with rythme against his thigh.His target was Nadine, his mate, the future luna of the rival Silver Moon pack.

She was fiercely loyal to them, and her love for them was well-known throughout the packs. It was this lov

With a heavy heart, Nadine reluctantly came to terms with the fact that her father had chosen to give her away to Kael. This man, Kael, was a complete stranger to her.

"I'm not usually interested in other people’s lives or like to gossip, but I have a burning curiosity to know more about Kael. Please, share with me all the stories you have heard about him and if you have had any personal encounters with him, I would be absolutely glad to hear every single detail,” she politely requested, her eyes filled with anticipation."Oh, where do I even begin? Kael is a man of many tales, and I have had the fortune of crossing paths with him as well." Natalie replied, her voice filled with excitement and caution."Really?" Nadine's eyebrows shot up in surprise, her curiosity getting aroused."Yes, really." Natalie nodded, confirming the truth of her statement."His eyes, your highness, are always a fiery red. And he carries a sword, a weapon that is always stained with the crimson hue of blood." Natalie's voice trembled slightly, as if she had witnessed something truly terrifying."He is ruthless, your highness. He shows no mercy to anyone who dares to oppose
