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
She went back to the chamber where her twins were sleeping. She was crying and she pack up their clothes. Dylan run towards her but she didn't give a damn about him. All she wanted to do right now is to escape from the palace. To get away with him.Now, she realized that it was a quit for Dylan. She had sex with Lucas, her mate and he had sex with his mate too. So, she call it a quits. The twins woke up upon hearing a sobbed.Laz gritted his teeth when he discover what had happen to his mother."He's an asshole! He's really a disappointment!" He hissed with so much anger. "I told you, I have a bad feeling about that guy!"Beatrice held Laz arms and tell how sorry she was for not listening."I'm sorry, son... Mama is blind to not notice it," she muttered heavily.Laz comforted his mother as well as Cazz. Both of the twins hate the pack already because of the betrayal that Dylan did to their mother."Let's escape in here, alright?" Beatrice muttered to the kids. "Let's get away from the
Beatrice's POVUpon reaching my house, I was very hesitant if I could allow Leo to stay with us for the mean time. Since, he has no house and as a respect of gratitude for helping us, I should be helping him and welcome him to my house."Please, feel at home, Leo." I told him.He nodded his head and he wander around my house. I just watch his every move. I don't want to risk it but the kids were comfortable enough after that long tiring escape in the blood pack."Mama, I think, Uncle Leo is our savior," Cazz uttered while looking at Leo.I looked at her. "Really? Maybe, he was. Are you comfortable with him?" I asked.Cazz nodded her head. "Yeah. I am comfortable with him. I don't if Laz is comfortable with him though, he went to his room already."I ruffled her hair. "I'll make some food, go to your room first and you better rest alright?" I said to her."Alright, Mama." she replied and run towards her room.I glance at Leo again but this time, he was looking at the photo frame hangin
Lucas arrived to the palace, his heart still heavy from the recent battle, and found Beatrice waiting for him, her eyes beaming with relief and fear.Before she could say anything, Lucas' gaze fell on her, his senses sharpened by the overwhelming aura of strength that engulfed her.He couldn't explain what he feels right now. From the battle, he won, and even when he gets home, he still won because half of his heart is waiting for him to come home.Lucas went to his knees before Beatrice, softly caressing her abdomen as he felt the flutter of life within her womb. Tears welled up in his eyes as he glanced up at her, his voice shaking with emotion."Beatrice, my love," Lucas whispered, his heart overflowing with joy and wonder. "You're pregnant. We're going to have a child, our child."Beatrice's eyes welled with tears as she nodded, her palm reaching out to caress Lucas' cheek. "Yes, Lucas," she said softly, her voice engulfed with emotion. "Our love has created new life, a miracle we
The tension between the Moonstone Pack and the Coyolles Pack had been simmering for months, fueled by greed and ambition. Lucas, now fully aware of the threat the Coyolles posed to his soon-to-be family, knew that he had to take decisive action to protect his pack and avenge those who had been wronged.Lucas gathered his forces at night, a determined glint in his eyes as he prepared for the battle that would decide the fate of their territory. As the first light of morning illuminated the sky in rose and platinum, the Moonstone warriors stood poised at the edge of Coyolles land, ready to face their foes.Lucas squared off against Alpha Leomord, the leader of the Coyolles Pack, a fearsome opponent whose thirst for power had no bounds. With Samara, Lucas' ex-fiance, who had done something terrible to Beatrice and his twins, he squared his shoulders and prepared for a battle of wills."Alpha Leomord," Lucas's voice rang out across the clearing, steady and unwavering. "Your greed has brou
As the morning sun poured its warm shine over the palace, Lucas struggled with a flood of emotions. Fabian's words lingered in his memory, soaking him with both disbelief and happiness.Could it really be? Were the twins, whom he got to care passionately for, his own flesh and blood? The thought itself sent shivers down.Lucas felt a sense of anticipation building as he moved closer to his expected meet with Fabian. He wanted confirmation, yet worried the significance of the knowledge that awaited him.As he reached the room where Fabian was waiting, his heart hammered in his chest and his breath caught in his throat."Alpha Lucas," Fabian said, his voice filled with a remarkable intensity that hinted at the seriousness of the news he brought. "I have news regarding the samples we tested. It's nothing short of miraculous."Lucas' heart sped up as he focused on Fabian's every word, his senses sharpened with excitement. "What news do you bring, Fabian? Please, tell me."Fabian's lips fo
Beatrice's POVI was busy looking for some fabrics in town when I feel his aura near me. I secretly smiled at the thought that he already recognized me. That he could sense my presence and as well as me.I left the twins in the house since Leo was there to play with them and Katie too. Katie and I catch up all throughout the week after the scandalous incident happens in the palace last week.We talked some stuffs and also we talked about Dylan. Upon learning that I don't love him, that it was just an infatuation, I moved on. I never felt pain in my chest. But wherever he was, I am happy for him.I know for sure that he could handle things in his own since he was back in his origin. What I've been through out the years is just a lesson for me to learn. For me to be a better wolf.While picking some fabrics, I was bumped into someone and his scent lingers to my nostril. I gulped as ou eyes met. It was Lucas, wearing his black cloak."Hey, there..." he approached me.I blinked my eyes. I
As Lucas secretly approached the twins and got their hair to do a paternal test, his Beta found a new information about Beatrice. He was extremely in a rush to meet with his Beta and to give the samples to Fabian to take a check on it when Princess Samara caught his arms, making him stop."Let's talk, Lucas," she said, with an authoritative tone.Lucas knitted his forehead. "I don't want to waste time to your fucking explanation, Samara. Get off me!" He growled at her coldly."And you have time to talk with that bitch?!" Now, Samara burst out. "I am your fucking fiance! Why are you ignoring me?!"Lucas scoffed and faced her with his usual expression. Cold and dangerous."You are not my fiance anymore," he announced. "From the day you made another mistake again, from what you have done to Beatrice the other week, you don't fit to be my bride!" He added with so much conviction.Samara's forehead creased with so much irritation and she could feel the pain pang in her chest. She doesn't w
Upon Lucas was about to return in his chamber, he saw a built of a man not far away from him. There, in a secluded spot of the garden, he noticed Leo talking quietly with the Master, their heads close together as they exchanged whispered words.Lucas felt a flash of suspicion and tension as he observed them, his thoughts racing with questions. What were they talking about, and why did it feel so secretive? And why would Leo, a trusted friend and ally, have a desire to speak with the Master about training royal blood children?But Lucas wasn't convinced; his instincts told him to go deeper, to discover the truth behind their private conversation. And as he watched them exchange more words, an idea of doubt began in his mind, giving doubt on what he believed he knew about the twins and their real identities.With a sense of unease in his heart, Lucas determined to unravel the mystery around the twins, to discover the truth about their abilities and role in the royal family. He realized
Beatrice sat in her house, what happened of the previous day still fresh in her thoughts. She played with her twins, putting on a brave face for them, despite the fact that her heart ached from everything that had happened.She couldn't stop herself from telling them what had happened, hoping to protect them from the awful facts of the world for just a moment. As she nourished her twins, Beatrice couldn't help but appreciate Leo's quick response. She truly thanked him for his assistance, knowing that she owed him a debt of appreciation that could never be paid in full return.Leo had already treated her wounds, his expert hands working skillfully to treat her external conditions. But the mental wounds remained deeper, and Beatrice knew they would take much longer to heal.Her thoughts were interrupted by Lucas' abrupt entrance at her door, his expression ashamed and sorrowful. He sincerely apologized for what had happened and expressed his regret for inflicting her suffering. Beatrice
Beatrice was quietly walking through the town because she was looking for fabrics to use to make dresses when she was suddenly surrounded by royal guards.Messing around, he was nervous but his brow furrowed when he was pushed by a royal guard and when he saw the women he fought with yesterday coming with a smile on their lips."What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?" She demanded an answer."Because you stole the precious thing belonging to princess Samara!" Her ex-companion replied.The people gasps with disbelief."Oh, you stole her belongings in the palace! Guards! Seize her and bring her into the palace," the girl said.The guards pushed her on the ground. She crumpled her fists and she was struggling when they started to cuffed her. She was being dragged into the palace. She was sweating and panting.Her expressions darken when she looked at her wrist full of blood now because the cuff they used to her has thorns. She could feel the pain but it won't hindrance her to defe
Before Beatrice walked away, Lucas held her wrist and they suddenly disappeared. As Beatrice and Lucas stood in the palace's quiet garden, surrounded by beautiful plants and scented blooms, an anxious silent remained between them.Lucas's eyes bore into Beatrice with a mix of interest and distrust, while Beatrice straightened her shoulders, bracing herself for the inevitable clash."Why are you here, Beatrice?" Lucas asked, his voice low and tinged with a hint of accusation. "Why have you appeared before me again, after all this time?"Beatrice smirked. "Don't be delusional, Lucas. I am not here for you. I just attended your engagement and I don't have any other intentions." She replied to him, firmly.His eyes squinted."Really?" his voice sounded something interesting.Beatrice met Lucas's gaze head-on, her expression resolute despite the turmoil churning inside her. "I'm not here for you, Lucas," she replied firmly, her voice steady. "I have my own reasons for being here, reasons t
