The golden rays of the setting sun filtered through the windows of the mansion, casting a warm glow over the room. I sat nestled in a plush armchair, engrossed in the pages of a novel titled "The True Heir." The fictional world of the book offered a temporary escape from the complexities of my reality, a way to lose myself in a different narrative.The sound of footsteps echoing down the corridor caught my attention, and I instinctively closed the book, setting it aside as I looked toward the door. The familiar creak of hinges signaled the entrance of a visitor, and my heart quickened as I recognized the tall, commanding figure that stepped into the room.Alpha Galan.A mixture of excitement and uncertainty stirred within me. I had become accustomed to his presence, to the enigma that surrounded him. Our interactions were often charged with unspoken tensions and underlying emotions, and I found myself both drawn to and wary of the connection we shared.I pretended to be engrossed in t
"Alice, what brings you here?" The words fell from Alpha Galan's lips like shards of ice, sending a shiver down Alice's spine. I exchanged glances with the gatekeeper, whose eyes darted away as quickly as a startled deer's. "Galan, what you did was so uncalled for and so unfair," her voice pierced the air, carrying with it a storm of resentment and frustration, casting dark shadows over the scene. Caught in the crossfire of their exchange, I realized Alice had addressed him with familiarity, unaware of his true title and the power he held. My frustration welled up, tainted by the intrusion of an unfamiliar presence. "What's so unfair, Alice?" His tone remained steady, a mask concealing any hint of emotion beneath its surface. "Everything is so unfair. You dumped me for her?" Alice's accusation resonated like thunder, her finger pointing at me as if I were a target in a game I didn't sign up for. Startled by her revelation, I found myself whispering, "She was dumped?" Alpha Galan's
Marcus and I were welcomed by the scene of Alice being raised from the ground and Alpha Galan's hand wrapped around her neck. The lass gasped for air, pleading to be spared but all her pleas fell on deaf ears.The gatekeeper was terrified by the scene and passed out. I was terrified as well but I didn't move an inch. My eyes were shaking, threatening to fall from its socket. Marcus, on the other hand, was surprised by the impulsive turn of things."What did Alice do to deserve this?" I whispered to Marcus who turned to face me."She must have provoked him. Please, girl, go inside while I speak to Alpha Galan." Marcus said, trying to safeguard me but I was being persistent and didn't want to leave.He kept on insisting that I should go but I stood my ground. "I'm the mate of a dangerous Alpha and only I can speak some sense into him," I said in confidence as Marcus was surprised by my proclamation. He sighed in defeat, leaving me all alone to witness the horrific scene in front of me.
My heart hustled as I stood covered behind the weighty oak entryway, my ears stressing to get each expression of the discussion between Alpha Galan and Marcus. Their quieted tones resonated through the faintly lit hallway, the unease intense. Interest had a grasp on me, a steady desire to understand what they examined in secret.I inclined in, stressing to hear, my breath held in expectation. Their voices were simple mumbles, similar to the weak reverberations of mysteries that wouldn't uncover themselves. My fingers brushed against the wood, and I flinched, my pulse beating in my ears. Similarly as I reclined marginally, the floor gave way underneath me.My heart dashed as I felt myself lose balance, my arms thrashing trying to recapture balance. Be that as it may, it was past the point of no return. Gravity had guaranteed its award, and I tumbled forward with a frightened cry. The effect was both sudden and off-kilter, and to exacerbate the situation, the entryway flung open as thoug
The moon had ascended high in the night sky, projecting an ethereal shine over the chateau's nursery. Marcus and I strolled together, the memory of Alpha Galan's chilliness still new to me. My contemplations were a hurricane, conflicted between the puzzling man and the startling association I was shaping with Marcus.As we walked around the nursery ways, Marcus' voice pulled me from my dream. " Theia, there's a spot I might want to take you."I took a gander at him, my heart vacillating with a combination of fervor and fear. " Where?"He smiled, his eyes shimmering with a sprinkle of wickedness. " It's a shock."His secret was both charming and terrifying, and I understood that Marcus had the uncanny capacity to whisk me away from my viewpoints, if by some stroke of good luck for a brief period.The air was cool against my skin, and the delicate stirring of passes on gave an encouraging background to our discussion. Marcus' words conveyed a profundity I hadn't expected, as though he we
Mr. Mario stepped into the faintly lit office of the slave foundation, his face scratched with a combination of expectation and disquiet. Mr. Old Face, the heavy owner of the foundation, gazed upward from his papers with a wide smile that extended his endured highlights into something looking like jauntiness."Ok, Mr. Mario! What an unexpected, yet wonderful treat," Mr. Old Face shouted, his voice slick with faked excitement.Mr. Mario's appearance stayed unemotional as he answered, "I want to say something very similar, Mr. Old Face."Old Face laughed, his affableness not faltering the least bit. " Directly to business, I see. How might I help you today?""I've come for data," Mr. Mario expressed gruffly, his penetrating look locking onto Old Face's.Old Face's grin faltered somewhat, however he immediately recuperated. " Obviously, obviously! I'm at your beck and call."Mr. Mario's look bore into him. " There was a red-haired young lady that I offered to you as of late. I need to kno
Marcus and I returned to the house, visiting and chuckling on our way. I appreciated his conversation and his warm signal that makes my pulse. Whenever he let a loud laugh, I generally respect his steel blue eyes that I believed were once brilliant."Did you have an eye to eye connection on?" I asked, wondering for no specific reason as my look was as yet fixed on his eyes."No, why?" He raised his temple, giving me a scrutinizing look."At the point when you moved toward me right away, at my grandmother's cabbage store, your eye tone was brilliant yellow, similar to the beams of daylight."Marcus laughed. " I had eye to eye connection on previously. I'm a model." He expressed, winking at me with his hot blue eyes.I couldn't resist the opportunity to get drawn to him yet I would have rather not uncovered my sentiments yet. I reminded myself about the indentation on my neck yet it wasn't helping things.He saw my steadiness and how I continued to contact my neck sometimes. " Does it ac
(18+)"What are you doing?" I asked, looking into his eyes searching for an answer but only saw desires filled within them."Don't go, I want you, Theia. I want you so bad that it hurts here." Alpha Galan said hovering over me while pointing downwards towards his hard rod."I'm not in the mood for..." I was about to protest and break free from his embrace because I was still waiting for an apology from him but he shut me up with a kiss making me unable to finish my words.While we engaged in a fiery kiss, I could feel some pain on my lower lips causing me to throw hard glares at him."You're going to enjoy it too, trust me." He said with a gentle haze as his hands went to my breast, groping it through my thick clothes making me release an unwilling moan."Stop..." I called out more consent to go on than stop.He smirked as he removed my shirt, gently making sure to caress my skin in the process before finally removing it.A smile settled on his face as he stared at my cleavage, using h
Weeks passed, and Marcus found himself entrenched in the clandestine machinations of Alpha Galan's enigmatic world. The city's heartbeat pulsed with the rhythm of secrets, each echoing footstep and whispered conversation carrying its own hidden agenda. Marcus had become a shadow within the shadows, a vigilant sentinel on the lookout for any sign of Mr. Mario's movements.Theia's safety was his paramount concern, and he couldn't escape the gnawing guilt that accompanied his role in the intricate web that ensnared her. He had become a pawn in a grander scheme, one that remained shrouded in mystery. Alpha Galan had shared only morsels of information, keeping Marcus in a state of perpetual uncertainty.One chilly evening, Marcus received a cryptic message on his encrypted phone, summoning him to a dimly lit alleyway on the outskirts of the city. As he arrived at the appointed location, the shadows seemed to close in around him, and he couldn't help but feel as if he were walking into a tr
The city's pulse quickened as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows that danced across the bustling streets. Marcus stood in the dimly lit parking lot beside his unassuming car, his face concealed beneath the hood of a dark sweatshirt. His fingers danced over the small recording device he had wielded like a spy, replaying the pivotal conversation between Mr. Mario and Evelyn.The digital file was his ticket to influence, to maintain his position within a web of secrecy and power that ran deep within the city's underbelly. Marcus knew that the information he possessed was valuable beyond measure. With a few deft taps on the device's screen, he forwarded the recording to a secure location, ensuring it was tucked away from prying eyes.Once the data was safely stashed away, Marcus retrieved his smartphone, the screen bathed in an eerie, bluish glow. He dialed a number he had committed to memory, one that had remained dormant for far too long. Each ring felt like an etern
Mr. Mario's room, a dimly lit and confined space, was a reflection of his tumultuous thoughts and his increasingly desperate situation. The dwindling days of September cast long shadows through tattered curtains, further accentuating the gloom that seemed to envelop him. He paced back and forth, the aging floorboards groaning beneath his footsteps, as he tried to come to terms with the harsh reality that time was running out.September was rapidly drawing to a close, and with it, the ominous deadline for repaying Sergio loomed ever larger. Mario had dabbled in the shady corners of the city's underworld before, but this predicament was of an entirely different magnitude. The debt he owed was substantial, and the consequences of failing to repay it were too dire to contemplate. He needed a solution, and he needed it urgently.His thoughts continually circled back to a name – Theia. She held the key to his salvation, or so he believed. The elusive woman had vanished into the shadows, lea
"Ma'am, Ms. Marshmallow is awake." The nurse came out of the operation room adjusting the nose mask she had as she broke the news to Alpha Galan.I couldn't help but jump for joy and wrap my hands around Alpha Galan's neck, jumping on him. "I'm so happy!"Alpha Galan's eyes opened in awe as he least expected my actions. I chuckled noticing how uncomfortable he was as I respected myself and maintained poise, clearing my throat as I turned to face the nurse."How's she? Can we go and see her?" I asked not being able to control my excitement.Nurse Emily giggled. "No, you can't for now. The doctors are still packing up." She explained before excusing herself to leave. And of course, she didn't leave without batting an eye on Alpha Galan who remained a straight face until her disappearance.My jaws dropped in disappointment but I didn't let that pull me down because I was too excited to see Marshmallow. I had a lot of apologies to do and some encouragement to give."I can see you're super
The medical team, despite their exhaustion, continued to work diligently. Dr. Reynolds, now with a bead of sweat rolling down his temple, gave orders with precision. "Nurse, hand me the micro-sutures," he said, his voice steady but tired.Nurse Emily, who had been assisting since the beginning, quickly passed the required instruments. Her hands moved with practiced efficiency, a testament to her experience. "Here you go, Doctor," she replied, her voice calm and respectful.The beeping of the heart monitor continued to provide a rhythmic backdrop to the room's activities, a constant reminder of the patient's fragility. Marshmallow lay still, her chest rising and falling in the controlled rhythm of the ventilator.Dr. Reynolds meticulously sutured the incision he had made earlier, his hands moving with expert precision. Each stitch was a testament to his skill, a delicate dance between life and death. The room's tension had not dissipated; instead, it had shifted into a different form –
As the medical team began their assessments and preparations for Marshmallow, Nurse Emily turned to me with a gentle but firm expression. "I'm afraid you'll need to leave the room, Miss," she said kindly. "We have to perform an operation on Marshmallow, and it's important for the doctors to work without any distractions."Reluctantly, I nodded, knowing that Marshmallow's well-being was the top priority. I leaned down to give Marshmallow's hand a gentle squeeze, whispering words of encouragement once more before stepping out of the room.The waiting room felt like a purgatory of anxiety and uncertainty. It was filled with the hushed voices of worried family members, each waiting for news about their loved ones. I found an empty chair, my heart heavy with concern for Marshmallow.Time seemed to stretch endlessly as I sat there, lost in my thoughts and prayers for our friend. The minutes turned into hours, and with every passing moment, the weight of the situation pressed down on me. Wou
I sat in the hospital room, my eyes still fixed on Marshmallow, who lay motionless in the bed. Alpha Galan's words lingered in the air, his offer to bring me food and clothes a testament to his thoughtfulness. However, my desire to be with him, to support him in this trying time, tugged at my heart."Alpha Galan, I appreciate your kindness," I began, my voice soft but filled with determination. "But I want to be there with you when you go home. I can help you gather everything we need, and it'll be a welcome distraction for both of us."Alpha Galan hesitated for a moment, his crimson eyes searching mine. I knew he wanted to protect me, to shield me from the harsh realities of Marshmallow's condition. But we were a team, and I couldn't bear to be away from him when we needed each other the most.Finally, he nodded, a reluctant agreement in his expression. "Very well," he conceded. "But promise me you'll be careful and stay strong. I'll need you by my side when we return."I nodded, gra
The hospital corridors bustled with activity as we made our way through the maze of sterile white walls and echoing footsteps. Alpha Galan's phone continued to buzz intermittently, the messages and updates a constant reminder of the urgency of our mission.Finally, we arrived at the door of Marshmallow's hospital room. My heart pounded in my chest as I watched Alpha Galan push the door open, revealing a small, dimly lit room. The sight that met my eyes sent shockwaves through me. Marshmallow lay in the hospital bed, her petite frame pale and fragile against the crisp white sheets. Tubes and wires were connected to her, monitoring her vital signs, and a ventilator softly hummed in the background.Tears welled up in my eyes as I took in the sight of my friend, battered and bruised, lying motionless in the hospital bed. It was a stark reminder of the brutality she had endured, the pain she had suffered at the hands of Mr. Old Face.Anger and regret churned within me as I cursed Mr. Old F
The morning sun bathed Marcus's room in a warm, golden glow, casting long shadows that stretched across the floor. The room itself, an oasis of calm in the midst of chaos, seemed to hold its breath as Marcus stood before his open wardrobe. He moved with a quiet determination, each garment he selected meticulously chosen, each fold of fabric a testament to the gravity of the task at hand.I observed him in silence, my heart heavy with the knowledge that the moment had come. The mission against Mr. Mario and his network of shadowy collaborators was no ordinary endeavor. It was a labyrinthine puzzle with stakes higher than we could fathom, and Marcus was at the forefront, willingly stepping into the unknown.Beside me, Alpha Galan stood like a guardian, his presence a source of strength in the face of the impending challenge. We had become a trio bound not only by circumstance but by a shared sense of purpose - a purpose that demanded secrecy, courage, and sacrifice.The question that ha
