The sun cast a warm glow through the window, painting the room in a golden hue as Alpha Galan's footsteps echoed down the corridor, his departure leaving a noticeable void. I sat there, my thoughts swirling like leaves caught in a gust of wind, the remnants of his touch still lingering on my skin. It was Marcus who broke the silence, his voice laced with a teasing undertone."Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Theia. I've got something to share with you."I turned to face him, my curiosity piqued by his cryptic tone. A mischievous grin played on his lips, a glint of amusement dancing in his eyes as he leaned back in his chair. Intrigued, I settled back into my seat, my interest fully captured. "What is it, Marcus?"He tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed on me with an air of playful observation. "You know, Theia, it's not easy to hide something from someone like me. There's an aura of determination and strength around you, yet there's a secret you've been keeping close to your che
What's more, as the sun started its plummet, creating long shaded areas across the room, I understood that occasionally, amidst vulnerability, all it took was a veritable association with help us to remember our common mankind and the significance of sympathy in our most obscure minutes."Shouldn't something be said about I take you to her, now that Alpha Galan isn't anywhere near?" Marcus asked, his tone taking on a smart note as he reclined in his seat, his hands crossed."Really!?" I asked, my heart skirting a thump at the unforeseen deal. The possibility of at last seeing my grandma after this time sent a flood of energy through me.Marcus gestured, a little grin bending his lips. " Since you returned from the slave foundation, you've never gotten an opportunity to see her. I figured it very well may be really smart to get that going while Alpha Galan is away. Think of it as a little shock."His words filled me with appreciation, a glow spreading through my chest. " Much obliged to
The gentle breeze rustled the leaves as I strolled through the garden, my footsteps mingling with the whispers of nature. The sun bathed everything in a warm embrace, casting dappled shadows on the ground. It was a rare moment of solitude, a brief respite from the demands of the mansion, and I relished the tranquility that enveloped me.As I wandered, lost in my thoughts, I caught sight of Mabelle, my newly appointed maid, tending to the flowers with quiet grace. A small smile tugged at my lips as I approached her, curiosity and hope swirling within me."Hello, Mabelle," I greeted, my voice carrying a touch of warmth.Mabelle turned toward me, a genuine smile lighting up her features. "Good day, Lady Theia. How may I assist you?"There was genuine kindness in her eyes, a quality that immediately put me at ease. I hesitated for a moment before continuing, my words were carefully chosen. "Would you care to take a walk with me? This garden is enchanting, and I find myself in need of some
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
