Royal's POV"Talk to me, Rico. What's going on? Who died?"Rico sighed, trying to find the right words. It was the first time I saw him look so empty and shattered and I knew the person he lost must have been important to him. Without thinking, I pulled him into a hug, consoling him, "I'm sorry Rico. May his or her soul rest in perfect peace." We stayed in that position for some time, while I patted his back. I pulled out shortly after, "I'll go and change now. I'll be out in a few minutes."He nodded and turned around to leave to give me privacy. As he almost stepped out of the room, I called out, "Rico?" He turned to look at me, his eyes filled with unmeasurable pain. "Don't hide or bottle up your feelings too much. Mourn if you have to, okay?” He gave me a small smile and then nodded before he closed the door. "From one incident to another huh?” I asked myself and I bent to pick up the book on the floor. "I'll continue you some other time."I placed the book on the shelf and

A hush fell over the group as they waited for him to speak, their eyes filled with curiosity and concern.Rico took a deep breath, his gaze scanning the faces of those gathered around him. "As you all know, my grandmother was not only the matriarch of our pack but also a wise and compassionate leader," he began, his voice steady but laced with emotion.Today, I would love to introduce you to someone, in the presence of my grandmother. He placed his hand in mine, "This is Royal. The latest addition to our pack."Whispers started flying around, and he gave them time to talk and process the information before proceeding. "She arrived a while ago, and due to unforeseen circumstances which some of you witnessed, she was not in a healthy condition to be introduced. Although today isn't supposed to be the day either, I see it as the best time to introduce her to you and my grandmother as well."We both squeezed our h
Royal's POVWith my head lowered, I strained my ears to catch any sounds or hints of what might be happening outside the car. The seconds ticked by, each one feeling like an eternity as the tension thickened in the air.I could hear muffled voices approaching, growing louder with each passing moment, sending shivers down my spine. Rico's grip on the steering wheel tightened even further, his knuckles turning white."Rico, you're scaring me!” I whispered."Keep quiet, Royal. We'll get home soon. Just stay down."Rico drove faster, and then he suddenly slowed down. Thinking we were already in the pack house, I raised my head up a bit but the sight of a man who held bad memories came into view and I immediately bent down. "Did I ask you to raise your head?!" Rico asked, a bit angry. "I'm sorry. I thought we were home already. But what is he doing here and why today?""I don't know, and I guess we're about to find out. Don't say a word and just act like you're in pain."I nodded and mad

She wasted no time in taking control, her delicate hands running down my chest and unbuckling my belt with practiced ease. "I have missed you so much, Alpha," she said seductively, her submissive side coming into view. As she undressed me, piece by piece, her touch sent shivers of anticipation down my spine. The air crackled with electricity, the tension between us reaching its peak. I allowed myself to surrender to her, to the intoxicating allure of the moment, as she guided me to the plush couch where I had sought solace just moments ago. Feina sat on top of me and straddled me, her body a perfect fit against mine, and I could feel the heat radiating from her core, teasingly close yet maddeningly out of reach. "You're wet!” I teased and she smiled. "Just for you, Alpha," she said with a smirk, rocking me harder, with subtle moans. Our eyes locked, and at that

"Lock the door and don't open it for anyone except me."Her eyes widened with worry, but she nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Be careful, Alpha. Please."I nodded and she walked over to give me a quick kiss. Then, I darted out of the room, my senses heightened, every muscle poised for action.I sprinted through the corridors of the pack house, the clamor of chaos grew louder as I stepped out of the elevator.

I said and turned around to meet my Beta, Simon walking towards me."Congratulations on your victory, Alpha!""Yeah…" I said nonchalantly. "What should we do about the body?" He asked, staring at me, waiting for my orders. "We can't just discard him anyhow, you have to find a way to do it properly, for the pack's sake."I groaned, "Fine. Start the preparations. Inform me when it's time. I'm leaving.""Yes, Alpha." He said bowing his head and I walked out, the pack members chanting, "ALPHA CHASE! ALPHA CHASE!! ALPHA CHASE!!!"Leaving the raucous c
