After finishing the training session, Selena made her way to the changing room to change out of her workout attire. As she emerged from the changing room, she noticed her friend and fellow model, Alice, waiting for her outside. Alice had a hopeful look in her eyes, as if she was about to ask something important."Hey, Selena," Alice greeted with a smile. "Can I talk to you for a moment?""Of course, Alice," Selena replied, her own smile warm and inviting.Alice took a deep breath, clearly gathering her thoughts. "Well, you know, I've been admiring your journey in the modeling world. You've achieved so much, and you always look incredible on the runway. I was wondering if you could share some tips with me, especially about being a successful supermodel."Selena felt a sense of camaraderie with Alice. After all, they were both part of the same industry and understood the challenges and aspirations that came with it. She leaned against a nearby wall and cons
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the cityscape as Zayn's car rolled to a stop in front of the distinguished Prime Plaza Apartment building. With a sigh, he switched off the engine and pocketed the keys. This moment had been a long time coming, and he couldn't deny the subtle twist of nervous excitement in his stomach.He stepped out of the car, his eyes scanning the modern lobby that welcomed residents and guests alike. The concierge desk was manned by a friendly attendant who greeted him with a polite smile."Good evening, sir. How can I assist you?" the concierge inquired."Hello. I'd like to go to the 30th floor to visit my girlfriend. Can I leave this here for a moment?" Zayn asked as he handed his car keys to the attendant."Of course. I'll keep it safe while you're upstairs and bring it back here," the attendant replied.Zayn nodded, leaving his car keys and his parked car just in front of the apartment lobby. He the
Zayn and Selena's arrival at the restaurant was met with a sense of anticipation. The elegant ambiance of the place enveloped them as they stepped inside. The soft lighting, tasteful decor, and the hum of quiet conversations created an atmosphere of refined sophistication."Welcome to Gold Pine Restaurant. Have you made a reservation for tonight?" the waiter inquired upon seeing the arrival of the handsome Zayn and the beautiful Selena."Yes, I made a reservation under the name Zayn," replied Zayn.After confirming that Zayn's name was on the list of reserved customers, the waiter acknowledged and handed Zayn and Selena over to his colleague."My colleague will assist you to your reserved table, Sir and Madam," he said."Very well, thank you," responded Zayn, then he took Selena's hand. A waiter, the one referred to by the previous waiter, approached Zayn and Selena, guiding them to their seats.The attentive waitress greeted them with a war
Selena savored the last bite of her dessert, the flavors dancing on her palate in a delightful symphony. She delicately placed her fork down on the plate and took a final sip of her wine, letting the rich taste linger before setting the glass aside. With a satisfied sigh, she looked across the table at Zayn, her eyes sparkling.As if reading her mind, Zayn smiled. "Looks like someone thoroughly enjoyed their dessert."Selena chuckled, her lips curved into a playful grin. "I couldn't help it. The dessert here is truly something else."Just as she finished speaking, Selena rose from her seat, her chair gently sliding back against the floor. Zayn's brow quirked in curiosity. "Leaving already?"Selena shook her head, her expression teasing. "Oh no, I'm not leaving. Just going to the restroom."Zayn leaned back, his smile widening. "Ah, alright. Don't take too long."Selena gave him a wink before turning and walking gracefully toward the entrance
Shortly after, the hospital staff moved Selena to a VIP patient room for further observation and care. Zayn remained by her side, his worry evident in his eyes as he watched over her. He couldn't shake off the feeling of helplessness, knowing that something beyond their understanding was affecting Selena.As the evening wore on, Zayn's phone buzzed with a message. It was from Viggo. The message simply read: "I heard about Selena. I'm on my way to the hospital."Before long, there was a knock on the door of Selena's hospital room. Zayn looked up and saw Viggo standing there, his expression a mix of concern and determination. Despite the gravity of the situation, Zayn couldn't help but feel a tinge of relief at Viggo's arrival."Zayn," Viggo greeted quietly as he entered the room."Viggo," Zayn acknowledged, his voice holding a hint of gratitude. "Thank you for coming."Viggo approached Selena's bedside, his gaze softening as he looked at her. He had
The car driven by Richard finally arrived at the front gate of Celestria Castle. As they arrived, Zayn and Viggo gently helped Selena out of the car. Following Zayn's agreement the day before, Selena had been brought to Celestria. To ensure her health remained intact, she decided to cancel her schedule as the main model for the upcoming weekend's fashion show.Fortunately, Clayton, Selena's manager and trainer, approved of her taking a break. After all, Selena was known for her hard work and had even foregone her days off in the past."Take it slow," Zayn advised as he observed Viggo about to assist Selena."I'll open the door," Richard said, dashing towards the entrance and holding the door open for Zayn, Viggo, and Selena.Selena glanced towards Viggo, her body still feeling weak due to the lingering effects of the Lycan's influence. To prevent the Lycan's control, Viggo had partially sealed Selena's consciousness, making sure the influence wouldn't tak
Richard stepped out of Selena's room, his eyes meeting Zayn's as he approached. Zayn was sitting in a chair by Selena's bedside, his fingers intertwined with hers, his gaze fixed on her sleeping form. There was a mixture of concern and tenderness in his eyes, a reflection of the love he felt for her."Zayn," Richard's voice was gentle, respectful of the moment. "I need to check on Selena and administer some treatments. It's best if you step out for a little while."Zayn looked up at Richard, his grip on Selena's hand tightening slightly as if seeking reassurance from her even in her sleep. He hesitated for a moment, torn between his desire to stay by Selena's side and his trust in Richard's expertise."She'll be in good hands," Richard continued, his expression kind. "I'll make sure she receives the care she needs. You can come back in after I'm done."Zayn let out a slow breath, his gaze shifting between Selena and Richard. Reluctantly, he nodded, his fi
As the door swung open, the attention in the room shifted towards the hesitant figure entering. A shy, 14 year old girl stepped into the room, her cheeks tinged with embarrassment. Richard moved to her side, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder, and proceeded to introduce her to the assembled group."Everyone, I'd like you to meet Lavinia," Richard said, offering a warm smile as he gestured towards the apprehensive teenager.Viggo's keen eyes immediately recognized her. Lavinia, Dante's daughter. Arlo and Scarlett exchanged knowing glances, acknowledging the significance of her presence in this unfolding situation.Lavinia's gaze remained downcast, her youth and inexperience standing in stark contrast to the seriousness of the circumstances. Yet, her presence held a certain weight, as it was believed that her unique abilities could aid Viggo in his efforts to rid Selena of the lingering Lycan influence.Stepping forward, Arlo's voice carried a blend

As Harry, Emma, and Martin joined the festivities, their presence added to the sense of togetherness that had come to define this group of extraordinary individuals.Harry, with his usual charisma, shared stories that had everyone laughing, while Emma's bright smile and Martin's witty remarks kept the conversations flowing. The camaraderie was palpable as old friends caught up and new connections were formed.Dante and Natalia, the inseparable couple, joined the group, their laughter blending seamlessly with the chatter around them. Emma's curiosity led her to ask Natalia about her profession, and with a proud smile, Natalia confirmed that she was indeed a midwife.Harry, intrigued, turned to Dante. "And what about you, Dante? What's your role in all of this?"Dante chuckled, exchanging a knowing look with Natalia. "Well, I'm not as directly involved in the medical field as Natalia, but I do support her i
Seven years later….Gathering around the barbecue, the pleasant aroma of grilling meat filled the air. Viggo arrived carrying a bag of meat, his son Easton walking by his side. As he stepped into the scene, Karina's eyes lit up, and she approached him with a smile, planting a warm kiss on his lips, a familiar and comforting gesture that spoke volumes about their love and connection.A sudden commotion caught their attention. Eloise, now a lively 7 year old, darted away, her laughter filling the air as she was chased by Kaiser, the young son of Odette and Lancelot.Eloise's playfulness was evident as she skillfully maneuvered around the tables and chairs, Kaiser hot on her heels. However, the carefree chase soon transformed into a playful argument.Eloise's voice rang out, "Kaiser, stop it!

Upon hearing Scarlett's news about Harry's continued breathing after Gandalf left his body, Richard's eyes widened in disbelief and hope. Without wasting any time, he swiftly moved towards Harry's side, his heart pounding with a mix of worry and urgency.He signaled Poldo to assist him in transferring Harry to the nearby dining table, a more stable surface for medical treatment."Careful, Poldo. Let's get him over here," Richard instructed, his voice steady despite the turmoil within him.The two of them carefully moved Harry's unconscious form, and as Richard began to assess his condition, the room was tense with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.Scarlett watched anxiously as Richard skillfully worked, his hands moving with precision as he used his medical equipment to assess Harry's vital signs.

In a chaotic and fierce battle, the clash between the werewolves and the army of artificially created humans under Gandalf's command intensified. The battlefield was a symphony of roars, clashes, and the crackling of magical spells. The moonlit night bore witness to the desperate struggle for dominance, each side fighting with all their might.Gandalf, his body now a mosaic of scars and wounds, moved with an eerie determination. The dark magic coursing through him granted him an unnatural strength, but it was clear that his body was reaching its limits. The wounds inflicted by the werewolves and their relentless attacks had taken a toll, and his ability to regenerate had slowed down considerably.As he pushed through the battlefield, his gaze was fixed on the castle in the distance, his ultimate target. The castle, once a symbol of power and unity among the werewolves, now stood as the last line of defense against his relentless advance. He was determined to break thro
As the intense battle raged on, Viggo's vision slowly cleared as he struggled to regain his senses. His body ached, and the taste of blood lingered in his mouth, evidence of the toll that the fight had taken on him. Yet, something within him had changed. It was as if a dormant power had been awakened, fueled by the urgency of the situation.Summoning all his strength, Viggo pushed himself up from the ground, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew he couldn't afford to falter now, not when the fate of Celestria hung in the balance.Coughing up blood, Viggo managed to stagger to his feet, his presence commanding and formidable. With a newfound energy coursing through his veins, he felt the power of the alpha surging within him, stronger than ever before. The injuries and exhaustion seemed distant as he focused solely on the battle at hand.“Sir, are you okay?!” ask Arlo panicked when see blood in Viggo’s hand.Ignoring the pain, Vig
As the full moon cast its ethereal glow over the surroundings, a chorus of howls echoed through the night as the werewolves emerged from the shelter of Celestria. Meanwhile, inside Eloise's old room, the atmosphere was charged with a mixture of anticipation and tension.Karina's face contorted in pain as the contractions intensified. Natalia, Selena, and Zayn stood by her side, offering words of encouragement and support. Lavinia had departed, her presence now among the werewolves outside.Karina's grip tightened on the bedsheet beneath her as another wave of pain surged through her. Natalia adjusted her medical equipment, ready to assist in the process. Selena held Karina's hand firmly, her eyes filled with empathy and reassurance. Zayn was standing a bit farther, giving Karina the space she needed while his face displayed a mix of worry and determination.Suddenly, the room seemed to vibrate with a primal energy. A resonating roar, not of agony but of power, r
Everyone gathered in Viggo and Karina's room, watching as Karina began to feel the pain in her abdomen. They were all enthusiastic about the impending birth of the twin babies that would soon arrive tonight.Richard, who was also in the room, glanced out the window and saw the moonlight of the full moon still obscured by clouds. He turned and nodded to Arlo, signaling something unspoken."It's time to move Miss Karina to Miss Eloise's room, sir," Arlo said to Viggo.Viggo, who had been sitting beside Karina, holding her hand, gently kissed her forehead, providing a sense of calm. "I'm sure you're strong, my love. You're my wife, and you've come so far to overcome everything. Now it's time for you to fight for the last time," Viggo told Karina, trying to encourage his wife.Karina nodded her head, feeling her pain increasing as if the time to give birth was near. Her contractions continued to intensify as time passed.Slowly, Viggo released his grip
Viggo and Zayn stood casually outside a small convenience store, each holding a cup of steaming coffee. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted in the air as they leaned against the wall. The evening was cool, and the soft glow of the store's lights added a cozy ambiance to the scene.Zayn chuckled softly as he observed Viggo taking a sip of his coffee. "I can't help but find it amusing, you know," Zayn said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.Viggo raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled. "What's amusing?"Zayn's grin widened. "You, drinking coffee. I mean, I've heard about werewolves and their unique diet. Coffee isn't exactly part of that, is it?"Viggo chuckled in response, his lips curling into a wry smile. "You've got a point there. No, coffee isn't a usual part of our diet."Zayn playfully nudged Viggo's arm. "So, what's the occasion? Celebrating a successful arrest?"Viggo took another sip of his coffee, his expression thoughtful. "Not ex
The sound of a knock on the door made Zayn, who was immersed in his work, finally look towards the source of the sound. Coinciding with the knocking, the door to his office opened, and a man appeared behind it."What's up, Shawn?" Zayn asked as he saw Shawn, his assistant, entering the room.Shawn walked closer to Zayn and handed him a piece of paper. "The arrest warrant for Lucas has been issued. The CCTV footage you requested to be enhanced has been clarified, and the evidence is strong enough to prove that he ignited the fire at the hospital," Shawn explained.Zayn's eyes lit up instantly. He stood up from his seat and glanced at the arrest warrant. "Do the police know?" Zayn inquired."Yes, they do. They're heading to the location to apprehend Lucas," Shawn replied."Then let's go there too," Zayn said decisively.Shawn nodded and left Zayn's office first. Before leaving, Zayn reached into his pocket, took out his phone, and dialed Viggo
