After that night of intimacy between Jai and Dylan. No one knows about it. It was a secret. A secret that cannot be revealed.And today, it was the wedding of Jai and Andrew. The wedding ceremony is grand. All are cheering for the newlyweds couple. Jai started to throw her bouquet of flower and Dylan was the one who catch it.Jai smiled but it fades when Dylan give it to Beatrice. She felt so annoyed and irritated. Right after they had sex, she thought that they will get back together even if she was married. But it was wrong. It was not the plot twist of having sex with him last night.She was jealous of her. She was jealous of Beatrice. She thinks that she should be the only one that Dylan treat her like that."Congratulations to the newlyweds!" The visitors cheered for them.Andrew, on the other hand is not happy while seeing your his bride watching his ex-mate. He crumpled his fists but he didn't complain. He was just observing Jai beside him. He could see jealousy in her eyes and
Beatrice gathered all of her courage and will to cross the dangerous and restless territory of the forbidden woods, despite the chaos and danger that Jai's deceit had thrown upon her.Her heart pounded in her chest with every step, a constant throbbing that urged her through the tangled leaves and thick undergrowth.She was panting, her heavy breathe contained her. She couldn't ven run properly. She has a lot of bruises.She moved forward, her senses attentive to every creak and rustle of the forest, and it seemed to come alive around her, its ancient guardians whispering secrets of times long past.Beatrice remained fearless in the face of the incoming threat that hid in the shadows, her will strengthened by the realization that her survival hinged on her capacity to dodge the threats surrounding her.The forbidden woods' darkness surrounded her like a disguise as she ran, making her path difficult to follow and trying to force herself at every turn. However, Beatrice pushed herself
Beatrice found herself in a dark cave, her senses dulled by the lingering haze of unconsciousness, as consciousness slowly returned.A small fire flickered and danced across the rugged stone walls, illuminating the figure of a man leaned over her, the play of light and shadow masking his features.Beatrice groaned and tried to get up, but when she did, a stinging pain raced through her body like a flurry bolt."Stay still," Lucas blurted out. "You are full of wounds," he added.Beatrice looked at the man in front of her as her eyes grew used to the low light. It was Lucas, of course, outlined against the fire's flickering light. When she saw him, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a flurry of emotions as she tried to process what was going on around her."L-Lucas..." she called his name. "H-How?"She couldn't finish her words because Lucas hush her with his finger."Rest, Beatrice..." his voice is pleading her."B-But... the twins, Lucas..." she tried to get up. "T-They're at the
A piercing pain grasped at Beatrice's chest as she lay in the cave's darkness, an image of the fear and agony that consumed her. She felt like the weight of her emotions was crushing her from the inside out with every breath.Upon hearing what he had said to her, the pain sank in her chest even more. She doesn't know why she feels like that but she realized it is because of their bond. She could feel pain in that kind of situation.She's confused of everything. Even her feelings. She does want Dylan to be by her side but she doesn't want Lucas to end the bond between them. She really is confused and don't know what to do anymore.With every beat of her heart, she felt a stinging pain in her chest. She couldn't suppress it any longer.Despite the searing pain that gripped her chest and the overwhelming fear that threatened to consume her, Beatrice summoned every ounce of strength within her to maintain a facade of calm."Oh, alright. Let's end the rejection," she agreed.Lucas knitted
In one last attempt to soothe Lucas's wounds, Beatrice put her quivering palms to his lips and offered him her blood. She felt a wave of heat course through her veins as the red liquid seeped into his mouth, along with a bittersweet rush of both comfort and fear.But the atmosphere changed in an instant. Lucas's expression changed the minute he tasted her blood, his eyes blazing with a need that made Beatrice shudder. He moved faster than she could have imagined, trapping her beneath him with such force that she was left gasping for air and unable to fight against it.Beatrice looked up at him, pulse pounding in her chest, her voice trembling with a mix of terror and perplexity, "Lucas, what are you doing?"His eyes, which had previously been filled with agony and despair, were now blazing with a primordial longing that made her heart race. His hungry intensity made her blood run cold as he hovered over her, his full weight pushing down on her and his every breath heated against her s
A nagging memory of the illicit ecstasy she had shared with Lucas in the cave's depths tore at Beatrice's heart as she made her way back to her safety of the blood pack. But when she turned to face Dylan, her concerns materialized as the weight of his gaze went through her like a blade."Dylan, I..." Beatrice began, her voice trembled as she searched for the words to explain.But before she could say anything, Dylan's eyes clouded up with betrayal and hurt, stiffening his tone of voice. With a sharp edge to his voice, he interrupted, "I know what you did, Beatrice." He accused. "I can smell his scent to you!"Beatrice felt a wave of shame for her actions rush over her, and her heart fell at the truth of what he had said. She begged, "Dylan, please," her voice stifled with passion. "It wasn't what you think."Beatrice explained. She couldn't see any emotions aside from anger and jealousy in his eyes. His expression lost her from reverie.But Dylan turned aside, the pain of betrayal har
Morning came and during breakfast at the grand dining room in the palace of blood pack, Beatrice couldn't look at Dylan. She was feeling guilty of what she did. She was neither annoyed because Dylan ignored her and didn't slept with her last night.She knew where he's coming from and she knew that something between them is not really okay. Something they need to fix but she felt something is missing. She felt that he's slowly moving away from her.Despite that, she shook her head as she continued eating her food. All are silent. No one speaks up during the breakfast. Her twins are busy with their food too but when her eyes met his gaze, the tension becomes heavy.She looked away and bit her lower lip. She does want to talk to him. To apologize to him but he won't listen. As she can see in him, he become close to his sister-in-law. She doesn't even know what's between Jai and Dylan at first.Right now, she could feel something intense between them. A lot of questions lingers in her min
Beatrice was overcome with an outburst of emotions after tending to and comforting her twins. Even though she was pleased not to have joined the pack yet, there was still a lingering feeling of disappointment that remained.As the evening came to a close, Beatrice couldn't stop thinking about the day's events and the unknown future that lay before. She realized that her top concern was to protect her children's welfare, even if it meant putting her own desires on hold, despite the chaos and uncertainty that around her.Beatrice put her children to bed with a heavy heart, their tired eyes reflecting of the day's happenings. She wondered what lay ahead for them all as she bid them good night with a kiss and comforting words.But even in the face of uncertainty, Beatrice found relief in the peaceful times she spent with her kids, who were an endless supply of support and bravery. And as she went to bed, she realized that, as a family united by love and resiliency, they would overcome wha
