"Harriet!"

My heart nearly stopped when I saw her lying on the floor. Blood dripped from her mouth, dark and frightening against her pale skin. Without hesitation, John picked her up as she lay in his arms, his face full of panic. Tears filled my eyes as I noticed the pool of blood beneath her. It was too much, far too much for such a small child.

"Move!!!" John shouted, his voice desperate. People quickly stepped aside as we ran toward his car. We hadn’t arrived together, I didn’t have a driver, but he did. The door slammed shut, and within seconds, we were racing out of the school parking lot.

"Harriet, Harriet, please wake up!" I begged, my voice shaking. "Mummy’s here, baby, please!"

My hands trembled as I touched her cold, pale face. The car hit a bump, making her tiny body shift, her head flopping lifelessly. Fear tightened around my chest, my breathing quick and shallow. The sharp smell of blood filled the air, almost making me to loose my breathe.

    JOHNI clutched my phone tightly, my knuckles whitening as I waited for him to speak again. But the words seemed stuck in his throat, swallowing whatever he was trying to say. "What... what did you just say?" Her voice trembled, thin and shaky, like the fragile crack of glass. I glanced at her, her body visibly trembling, and let out a soft sigh before stepping closer. "I’ll handle this. Just stay here with Harriet, okay?" I said gently, my tone firm but trying to sound calm. Her eyes widened, panic spilling into her voice as she stammered, "What do you mean Harry can’t be found?" She didn’t even seem to register my words. I rested a hand on her shoulder, giving it a soft, reassuring squeeze, and nodded. Without waiting for her response, I turned and dashed out of the hospital. From behind me, I heard her shout my name. But I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. I wouldn’t burden her with what Andrew had just told me. "Harry can't be found? What nonsense," I muttered under my breath

    EVEYLNI paced up and down the hallway outside the room where they’d placed my daughter not even a though of sitting down for what seems four hours. My heart pounded as questions swirled in my mind. And then a nurse came out of the room as I ran to her place holding her hands. "No comments, all I know is that it affected the little girl badly" she bowed her head slowly as she began leaving my sight. I placed my hand on my chest as I bent my head to the back trying not to let my tears spill out of my eyes. Who would dare give her chocolate cake when they know how sensitive it is? How? Why was she the only one given? It didn’t make any sense. The sound of hurried footsteps broke through my thoughts. “Evelyn, oh my goodness!” Winnie’s voice came from down the hall. She ran toward me, her face drawn tight with worry. She reached out to me as she placed her hands firmly on my shoulders, her eyes darting to the glass window on the door. She stared at my daughter lying motionless inside

    JOHN we searched every part of the thick woods around the school, checking every dark corner and tangled bush. the air smelled of damp earth and leaves, but there was no sign of him. i had made sure the search was thorough, my twenty warriors spread out, the principal and his guards walked alongside us, and andrew stayed close by my side.i crouched near an old, empty cage hidden under a pile of vines. my wolf instincts kicked in as i took a deep breath, trying to catch even the faintest trace of his scent. nothing. frustration built up as i stood, placing my hands on my hips with a deep sigh. the heavy silence around us was broken only by the faint rustling of leaves."alpha, we found nothing," one of my warriors reported, his voice filled with regret. he stepped forward, the sound of twigs cracking under his boots.andrew shook his head, his expression tense. "nothing out here," he muttered grimly."You mean to tell me you all can't find my son?" I yelled, my voice echoing through

    EVEYLN"She's so rude.""Wow, acting all high and mighty just because she claims to be the first woman to achieve something in the werewolf world? She’s so full of herself.""Such classless behavior."I scrolled through the comments on the company’s website and other platforms, reading every word people had to say about the videos. The clips showed Aria putting on a dramatic performance, kneeling at ThornField, pleading for my forgiveness, then collapsing in a way that made it seem like I had pushed her. It was all so staged, so fake, yet some people actually believed it."This is pure manipulation. She definitely has a reason for doing this," Elena said firmly, taking a sip of water. Winnie nodded silently with agreement.We were sitting in the hospital café, its sterile white walls doing little to mask the hum of quiet conversations and the occasional clinking of cups. I couldn’t leave the hospital, not until John arrived. His driver had been shadowing me the entire time, trailing b

    GIOVANNI"Sweet brother," Elena called out, her voice light and teasing as her footsteps echoed down the stone hallway. I rolled my eyes, muttering under my breath. How did she always know where to find me, even down here in the dungeon?The air was thick with the stench of decay, heavy and suffocating. Elena wrinkled her nose, waving a hand in front of her face. "Ugh, this place still smells dead bodies" she said with a sharp tone of disgust. "Why can’t anyone clean this dungeon properly? Don't you guys dispose fucking bodies?"She snapped at the nearby guards, her voice echoing off the damp walls. They didn’t, react nor flinch, expressionless as always and that's the main reason they are dungeon guards, heartless and would leave you to anyone here to die because once you enter here, you are already considered a dead person except, moon goddess pardons your life. With a frustrated huff, she planted her hands on her hips like a queen scolding her servants. She looked like she had eit

    EVEYLNI saw his red eyes slowly fade, returning to their green color. "Look, Eveyln you have to listen to me, you child will be in danger..."Stepping closer, I gently took his hands in mine. Then, I gave the driver a small nod, silently dismissing him. He bowed respectfully and walked out of the hallway, leaving us alone, meanwhile Carlo stood outside as we entered inside the room.He sat stiffly in the chair by Harriet’s bed, while I settled on the edge of the mattress, the blankets crumpling beneath me.Taking a deep breath, I began explaining everything, what had happened to Harriet and Harry, and how John was involved. I could sense his doubt immediately I mentioned John."Where is John now?" he asked, his voice tense and distrustful. His sharp gaze locked onto me, full of suspicion.I sighed, my shoulders slumping under the weight of it all. "He's... handling this issue" I murmured. "And you believe that?""He said he'd be right back and asked me to look after Harriet," I add

    JOHN“Mira, sweetheart, are you sure you didn’t see anyone take Harry from the classroom?” Diane asked gently, crouching to Mira’s level.The little girl kept her head down and slowly shook it without looking up.I couldn’t stop myself. Desperation crept into my voice. “Are you sure? Was it a teacher? Did you see her? I know it was a woman…”“Alpha John,” Aria interrupted firmly, reaching for Mira’s trembling hand. “I understand how badly you want to find the person responsible, but please, she’s just a child. Pressuring her won’t help. She’s already told you everything she knows.” she paused then continued. "so please it's either you enjoy or meal or...""Or I leave" I pushed my chair back with a loud screech. “Well, I’m leaving.” I rolled my eyes and stomped out of the house, slamming the door behind me. Light but hurried footsteps followed close behind. It had to be Diane.This whole trip had been a waste of time. I should have gone with Andrew to track down the list of buyers for

    DIANE "Your man and his ex-wife are getting cozy inside," Aria texted. I stared at the message and scoffed, acting like it didn’t bother me. But deep down, it did. No matter how much I tried to ignore it, the words stung. In the restroom, I turned on the faucet and rinsed my hands, scrubbing off the sticky chocolate as it almost makes me wanna throw up. It clung to my skin, just like the bitterness of that text. I grabbed a napkin and dried my hands quickly. My phone buzzed again, but I ignored it. Instead, I pressed the call button and held the phone to my ear. "Heo Chino," I said, my voice low but firm. "Take the kid to the basement at Nacro Pack. Don’t worry, Aria will keep them distracted. Just make sure John doesn’t notice." I hung up without waiting for a reply and slipped the phone into my bag. My heels clicked against the floor as I left the restroom, each step matching the rhythm of my thoughts. Near the classroom door, I paused and glanced inside. Harriet sat a

    EVEYLN“Please… don’t worry about me,” she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. “Thank you for saving me, but…”Her voice cracked. Then, as if the weight of everything she’d been holding in finally broke loose, she began to cry. This had an effect on me as I had to fight the sting in my own eyes.“My life… it’s only going to get worse from here,” she choked out.I looked at her, helpless.Goddess, what can I possibly do to ease this young girl's pain?I didn’t even know her story. But the sorrow in her eyes told me more than words ever could, she’d been through hell. She was beautiful, short golden hair and eyes wide and soft like a doe’s. I didn’t want to bother her with questions. She’d been through enough and she needs rest. So, I let it go for now.“We’ll come back tomorrow, to check up on you,” I whispered to myself as we quietly left.A few hours later, I still couldn’t sleep.We had returned to the mansion, where everything was quiet. Even the troublemaker was asleep

    JOHN“Let’s leave,” I urged her, reaching for her arm.But she pulled away, shaking her head hard. Her finger shot toward a crowded spot in the distance, eyes wide with urgency.“We have to save that girl first, John,” she said, voice trembling.I turned to Solomon. He caught my look and gave a quick nod as he’d heard Evelyn too, and he understood.A rough voice barked behind me. “You twat! Do you even know what you’ve done?”Three men stood there, rage burning in their eyes. One of them clutched his hand, blood dripping between his fingers. I glanced down at my claws, one of his fingers lay at my feet. “Fuuuck! What are you?” the man screamed, his voice breaking from pain and fear.My claws was sharper than any freshly-forged blade, than any normal Alpha wolf because of the special features I was brought up with. One hard strike was all it took to kill.The air was filled with an overwhelming mix of blood, sweat, moans, sperm and too many creatures. Vampires. Hybrids. Strong wolves.

    "She's still not answering, and she's not in the club either," Solomon said, letting out a sigh.John’s chest was beating. A strange feeling crawled over him, like something wasn’t right with Eveyln. He couldn’t shake the urge to go find her. "She probably took a taxi home," Solo added, scanning the area.John's eyes swept the street, and then he froze. There it was, the car he dreaded to see. Giovanni’s.His heart skipped a beat."Maybe... she’s with Giovanni," he muttered under his breath."But we've checked everywhere. They're not inside," Solomon said, glancing around with uncertainty in his eyes.That was when a chilling thought gripped John, a terrifying 'what if' that twisted in his gut as he remembered how Elena and Giovanni drugged her so that he would take advantage of her. Without a word, he pushed into the club, his pace quickening as he stormed down the hall lined with private rooms.He started throwing doors open one after another."Boss, you got to slow down, we might

    WARNING: SOME CONTENT MIGHT BE TOO DARK. The girls exchanged a glance, hesitant, their eyes flicking back to the card in her hand. “We can’t,” one of the girls said quickly, shaking her head. “The bartender is the one who’s supposed to direct you.” With a mysterious smile, she dipped her head and slipped out of the restroom, leaving Evelyn standing there with more questions than answers. Evelyn exhaled shakily and made her way to the bar. She placed the card carefully on the counter, its glossy surface catching the dim light. The bartender’s eyes widened the moment he saw it. He snatched it up, glancing left and right as if to make sure no one else had seen. Not a single word passed between them. Evelyn stayed silent, her pulse thudding in her ears. Without explanation, the man disappeared into the kitchen. Moments later, a female bartender took his place, wiping the counter as if nothing had happened. Evelyn blinked, confused. “Where’s the other bartender?” The woma

    UNIQUE CLUBHOUSEGiovanni lounged on the couch, a glass of expensive wine cradled in his hand. In front of him, two naked bodies having sex as the lady's legs were widely spread apart, moaning out loud, but he barely wasn't even enjoying the show displayed at his front. His grip tightened on the glass, knuckles pale, eyes shut tight. Evelyn’s voice echoed in his mind. Her words from earlier clung to him like smoke.“You seem stressed, Alpha,” came a sultry voice.A woman stepped into view, wearing only a lacy bra and panties that did not cover much of her ass and boobs. She sank onto his lap, her skin warm against his.“I’ve missed you, you know,” she murmured, tracing a slow finger along the bridge of his nose. Her lips formed a pout as she leaned in closer.Giovanni caught her hand mid-motion with his eyes opened. “Is that why you came to my pack? To become a maid?” Giovanni asked, his voice low, almost disbelieving.She nodded with a small, teasing smile. “Of course. It’s been age

    EVEYLN"I..." he stammered, still looking angry. "I'm sorry.""I get why you acted like that, but you went too far."I stood up as I sighed. There was nothing more to say. Nothing I could do to undo the decision and if I could, I wouldn’t think twice.I walked to the car, each step slower than the last. Reaching it, I stopped, resting my hands on the cool metal. A sigh escaped me. I opened the door, ready to slide in, when someone caught my eye.“Wait... is that Mimi?” I shut the car door and started walking in her direction. She was speaking to someone, but my eyes were locked on her alone. My pace quickened—I had to catch up. What was Mimi doing near the palace? More importantly, what was she doing in this Pack at all?"Where are you heading to, ma'am?" I didn’t respond. No point. He would follow me anyway, no matter what I said. Let him.Just then, Mimi turned and began to walk away. A small house stood between us. I picked up my pace, weaving around it quickly, determined not to

    EVEYLN.“The Pack witch just told me everything, Evelyn. It’s best if you stay here,” I shook my head, tightening my jaw. “And since when do you get to make decisions for me, John?”He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I’m just doing what needs to be done. This is probably where you belong now. I haven’t even taken your things from the Nightshade Pack yet…”“Don’t even start,” I cut in, my arms folding tightly across my chest. “You think it’ll be easy explaining to them why I’m suddenly moving to the Silvermoon Pack? Everything’s happening so fast.”My eyes followed the strangers as they carried box after box into the mansion.I caught John’s gaze as he looked me over from head to toe, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.“My shirt suits you,” he said, cocky as ever.I rolled my eyes. “What are you going to say to her?”“She’ll have to accept it,” he replied casually before disappearing into the mansion.I let out a long sigh. This whole thing felt like a bad idea, even

    EVEYLNI tucked the pictures away as he left. Then I slipped into his shirt, I didn't pick Giovanni's call but I will talk to him later, atleast I just meet him before today ends. I walked out of the room with the phone still in my hand.Downstairs, the dining table was already set but no one else had arrived yet. I didn’t bother waiting. Lifting the cover off one of the dishes, I grabbed a spoon and started eating the pankcakes.“This is just so annoying,” a voice snapped from behind.I looked up. Diane was walking into the dining room. Her eyes widened as soon as she saw me and then she let out a loud hiss.“So you can’t wait for everyone else before digging in, huh?” she said, crossing her arms.I paused mid-bite, lowering my spoon.“Sorry,” I mumbled. “I was just really hungry.” She just wants to pick a fight.Diane dropped into the chair across from me, yanking the cover off her plate aggressively. Her cold eyes darted toward me before she stabbed at her food and started eating

    EVEYLN."Thank the goddess the wound isn't too bad. I think you should rest here for the night," Vera said softly, tucking the blanket around me as I rested on the guest bed.John had patched me up earlier, not that it was anything serious. Honestly, I played it up a bit just to stir some drama.Diane wasn’t around. She was probably in their bedroom, waiting to unleash her usual storm on John. That paranoid brat."Are you hungry?" John asked.I nodded silently. He pulled the blanket up to my shoulders. Vera knelt beside the bed, dabbing at the dried blood and the dirt on my skin with a napkin. She didn’t say anything, but I was sure John had told her to help."I’ll be right back," he said, heading toward the door.As he left, I glanced at Vera. She let out a quiet sigh, her eyes studying me carefully."Do you have any idea who did this to you?" she asked.I shook my head. Truth was, I didn’t care.
