Aware of Sarah's presence in the doorway, Lucian invited her in with a firm, "Come in!"

Sarah stepped in cautiously, carrying a bottle of beer in her hand. "Sir, I brought some beer from the cellar. I'm sure you'll like it."

"I prefer the outfit you're wearing tonight, Sarah."

Lucian took the beer from her hand, his gaze lingering on her long enough to make her cheeks flush. She wore a simple dress, one that modestly framed her figure. To her surprise, Lucian’s compliment was genuine, not dripping with the usual sarcasm she had come to expect.

"Thank you," she mumbled, eyes downcast. She wondered how a man who had her under lock and key could make her feel so vulnerable yet strangely seen.

Lucian poured the beer into two glasses, sliding one across the table towards her. "Sit. Drink with me."

Tentatively, Sarah took a seat, lifting the glass to her lips. The beer was cold and bitter, a stark contrast to the warmth spreading through her from Lucian's proximity. "Why do you keep me here

    With trembling hands, Sarah replied, "I..."Lucian immediately snatched the phone from Sarah's hand, his expression full of anger. "Don't you ever do this again, understand?"Sarah, who was slumped on the floor, could only nod weakly. She felt increasingly squeezed into a predicament. Lucian pushed her away, pacing back and forth, trying to contain his fury."Why did you contact him?" he demanded, his voice shaking with a mix of rage and betrayal."I... I just wanted to understand why he did it," Sarah stammered, tears streaming down her face. "I wanted closure."Lucian's eyes softened momentarily, but the anger quickly returned. "You don't need closure from a man like Marcus. He's dangerous, Sarah. Reaching out to him puts you in jeopardy."Sarah wiped her tears, her voice barely a whisper. "I know. I’m sorry."Lucian sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair. He sat down beside her, his tone softer but still stern. "You have to trust me. Everything I do is to protect you."She

    Marco felt darkness creep into his heart as he searched for Laura around the hallways of the hospital. Each step felt heavier, anxiety creeping into his mind. Laura, on the other hand, slipped between the corridors, her heart a mixture of disappointment and curiosity.Laura's steps out of the hospital were quick and purposeful. She needed air, space to think. The confrontation with Marco had been unexpected, and now she felt torn between her duty and her emotions. As she exited the hospital, she bumped into Esme, who was just arriving."Laura?" Esme's voice was filled with concern. "What happened? You look upset."Laura forced a smile, shaking her head. "It's nothing, Esme. Just a lot on my mind."Esme wasn't convinced. "Come on, let's go for a walk. You can tell me everything."The two women walked towards the nearby park, the evening air cool and refreshing. Laura remained silent, trying to gather her thoughts. Esme, sensing her friend's hesitation, decided to break the silence."I'

    Kael, Alpha of the Lunar Pack, prowled the forest, his paws silent on the moonlit ground. His senses were on high alert, scanning for any signs of danger. As he rounded a bend, he caught a whiff of something unexpected - a human.His instincts growled a warning, but his curiosity got the better of him. He crept closer, his eyes fixed on a figure huddled by the river. The human, a female, seemed lost and scared. Kael's hackles relaxed, and he approached her cautiously.Aria, shivering with fear, sensed a presence behind her. She turned to face a pair of piercing yellow eyes. A wolf, towering and majestic, stood before her. For a moment, they locked gazes, and Aria felt an inexplicable connection."Please don't hurt me," she whispered, her voice barely audible.Kael's ears perked up, and he tilted his head. Something about her words struck a chord within him. He took a step back, his tail wagging slightly, and Aria saw a glimmer of kindness in his eyes.Kael and Aria's initial interacti

    Aria returned to her village, her mind still reeling from her encounter with Kael. She tried to focus on her daily routine, but her thoughts kept drifting back to the wolf's piercing eyes and the secrets he shared.As she walked through the village market, Aria noticed curious glances and hushed whispers from the townsfolk. She overheard snippets of conversation:"I heard she was seen with a wolf in the forest.""Strange occurrences happening, ever since she came back.""Aria's involved with the lunar pack, mark my words."Rumours were spreading, and Aria realized that her adventure with Kael had not gone unnoticed. She felt a shiver run down her spine, sensing that her life was about to change in ways she couldn't control."Aria, what's going on?" her friend Elara asked, approaching her. "People are talking about you and...wolves."Aria sighed, trying to brush it off. "Just rumours, Elara. Don't worry about it."But Elara's eyes lingered, searching for answers. "Aria, I've known you

    Aria's eyes scanned the pages of the leather-bound book, her mind racing with questions. The symbols and diagrams seemed to dance before her eyes, holding secrets she was determined to uncover."What does it mean?" she asked Lyrien, her voice barely above a whisper."It means that the lunar pack is not what it seems," Lyrien replied, his eyes gleaming with a knowing light. "They're hiding something big, something that could put you in danger."Aria's heart raced as she looked up at Lyrien. "What kind of danger?""The pack is bound by a curse, Aria," Lyrien explained, his expression serious. "A curse that forces them to roam the shadows, to hide their true nature from the world.""But what does this have to do with me?" Aria asked, her voice shaking slightly."You're connected to the pack, Aria," Lyrien said, his eyes locked onto hers. "Connected in ways you don't even understand. You see, the pack's leader, Kael, has a special interest in you."Aria's mind raced as she tried to proces

    Kael, the alpha wolf, stood tall, his eyes scanning the forest. He could sense something was off, something that threatened the balance of the pack."Kael, what's wrong?" asked Lyra, his beta wolf, her eyes narrowed with concern.Kael's expression turned serious. "I sense a threat, Lyra. A threat to our pack, to our way of life."Lyra's ears perked up. "What kind of threat?"Kael's eyes locked onto hers. "A human threat. Aria, the village girl, has been asking questions, seeking answers about our kind."Lyra's growl was low and menacing. "She's a danger to our pack, Kael. We can't let her expose us."Kael's expression turned thoughtful. "I agree, Lyra. But we need to be careful. Aria's not like the others. She's different, special."Lyra's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"Kael's voice dropped to a whisper. "I mean that Aria has a connection to our pack, to our history. She's the key to breaking the curse."Lyra's eyes widened in shock. "The curse?

    Kael, Lyra, and Zephyr sat around a large stone table, deep in the heart of the forest. Maps and scrolls were spread out before them, detailing the pack's territory and Riven's possible movements."Okay, let's get down to business," Kael said, his eyes scanning the maps. "We need to come up with a plan to stop Riven before he can harm Aria or the pack."Zephyr nodded, his eyes gleaming with intensity. "I've been studying Riven's movements, and I think I know how we can take him down."Lyra leaned forward, her ears perked up with interest. "Tell us, Zephyr. What's the plan?"Zephyr smiled, a fierce glint in his eye. "We'll need to work together, use our unique skills to our advantage. Kael, your strength and leadership will be crucial in this battle. Lyra, your speed and agility will allow you to outmaneuver Riven's minions. And I..."Zephyr paused, a sly smile spreading across his face.

    [April 2022]I walked into the half-dark neon light room. There was a long table with three seats on each side. The room was so dark that I couldn't even see myself, let alone the other occupants. I took the only seat available and sat down.I knew why I was here, but they felt I was simply too immature and weak for this mission. I'm the leader of a small mercenary group. Although our number is something is to laugh at, but everyone of us is an elite amongst elites. We have taken way more dangerous mission than any mercenary group in the country.Flanked on my sides were high ranking men and women dressed in dark suits. I had been called to handle a few problem for them.“The Somalia militia are planning to send in reinforcements, we need you to infiltrate their ranks and incapacitate them.” a voice said.I couldn't see their faces but it didn't matter, all that mattered to me was the mission which I knew was going to change a lot of things about me.“The Americans will provide you wi

    It's overLuciano turned to look at Talia who was standing at the door of the bathroom, and his eyebrows rose in approval.That oversized tank top covered Talia’s private parts, but it was also low on the chest, giving him a glimpse of Talia’s cleavage… high on the thighs, exposing her legs, and loose around arms… Luciano swallowed hard as the image of Talia’s side-boob flashed in his mind. Yup, he remembered that.He really wanted to suck her there. Everywhere.Talia squirmed under Luciano’s gaze. Why did he look at her like she was naked?Talia was about to tug the tank top and cover her legs more, but she held that urge back due to fear of how that will lower the opening at her neck and expose her girls, so she just pressed her legs together and folded her arms over her stomach in a feeble attempt to protect herself from Luciano’s x-ray vision.“Can I help you?”, Talia asked.Luciano tilted his head and smiled a little. “There is no need to be so cautious, wife.

    Luciano was sitting in his office with a glass of whiskey in his hand and thinking about the talk he had with Caden and Maya after dinner.They discussed the upcoming festival and the issue of Katerina.The preparations for the festival were on schedule and increased security was already in effect, so they focused on discussing Katerina.They decided to work on delaying her visit.It was Maya’s plan.“Instead of telling her not to come, we will tell her WHEN to come.”Luciano didn’t like it, but he gestured to Maya to keep on talking.“Two weeks.”, Maya said. “We will tell Katerina that your schedule is packed and that you can’t entertain her now, but in two weeks she can come, and you will make it up to her.”“You think Katerina and Alpha Edward will accept this two-week delay?”, Luciano asked.“No.”, Maya said bluntly before elaborating, “This is not about getting two weeks, but about negotiating. I expect that they will ask for Katerina to come sooner. I believe that we can settle

    Seeing that Luciano was looking at her grimly from the door of her room, Talia didn’t dare to provoke him.Talia didn’t have the faintest clue what caused his current mood (or what that mood was), but she decided to play it safe, and she lowered her head.“I apologize, Alpha Luciano.”, she said in a small voice.‘BAM!’Talia jolted when the door closed loudly, and she inhaled sharply at the realization that Luciano was only half a step away from her.It took him only a second to cross the distance between them.Luciano grabbed her chin with his index finger and thumb and forced her to lift her head and look at him.“What did you call me?”He was leaning above her, and his angry words splashed on her face. Talia blinked rapidly, unsure what he was getting at.Seeing the horror in her eyes, Luciano let go of her chin and put his palm on her cheek.“I told you to call me by my name. Luciano. Just Luciano. Say it.”His tone was much gentler, but his gaze was unwavering.“Luciano”, Talia s

    Between sparring sessions, Luciano was contacting Maya through the mind-link, reminding her to take Talia shopping, but Maya told him that Talia was sleeping and that she shouldn’t be disturbed.‘Talia is sleeping. Considering her wounds, it’s important that she rests. We can shop tomorrow.’, Maya tried to reason with Luciano.‘No. Do it today.’, Luciano was not relenting.The truth is that he felt guilty.He knew that Talia left because of the incident in the kitchen, and he thought that if Maya takes her shopping, Talia will feel better and not try to leave again.The thought of Talia leaving was creating knots in his stomach.She nearly escaped, and next time, he might not be so lucky to find her sleeping in the forest.It was late afternoon when Luciano finished training and returned to the packhouse.His shorts was sticking to his body, and his bare chiseled chest and abs were glistening due to all the sweat and he was itching for a shower.Luciano heard Maya’s voice coming from

    “Oh, before I forget…”, Maya stirred the conversation the other way. “Don’t tell anyone that you are from the Red Moon pack. The official story is that you grew up with your grandparents somewhere North and that after they passed, you came here with the goal to find a pack and we bumped into each other accidentally. Do you remember the gas station where Alpha Luciano went out to purchase snacks on his own? It’s the stop where you switched places with Caden.”Talia nodded.“That’s where we met. Feel free to fill in any gaps about your background.”, Maya said and observed Talia who was listening intently with a hint of confusion on her face. “Do you know why this is important?”Talia shook her head, indicating that she doesn’t.“If Alpha Edward suspects that we took you secretly, he might accuse us of kidnapping or stealing.”Talia’s eyes widened. “I agreed to come with you.”“You did, but Alpha Edward is not on friendly terms with Alpha Luciano, and he might use this incident to stir t

    “AWOOOOO!”A sky-piercing howl shook all the windows in the packhouse of the Dark Howlers pack, threatening to shatter them. The powerful sound echoed far into the distance, stirring every pack member with the might their Alpha possesses.“Will Luciano be OK?”, Maya asked Caden while blinking at the dawn which cracked through the windows.They heard four rapid thumps when Luciano landed in the garden after jumping from his balcony on the third floor.“He will be fine.”, Caden assured Maya and pulled her closer to him. “The border patrol just notified Luciano that they found Talia.”Maya wanted to ask for more information, but Caden was snoring softly already, so she gave up.Normally, warriors and patrols can’t contact Luciano through the mind-link. That is reserved for Caden, Maya, and Stephanie, and even those three know not to disturb him unless it’s important.Warriors, scouts, and other pack members follow the chain of command which allows only a handful of people to contact Cade

    In the kitchen…Luciano pried his arm free from Cassie’s hold and her eyes widened in surprise.Why did he back away? Why was he frowning? Things were going well, damn it!She composed herself and called sweetly, “Alpha Luciano, do you think I was out of line?”“Cassie, you accused a teenage girl of being a thief. Do you really think that my pack members have a need to come here and steal food?”Cassie pressed her lips into a line, feeling wronged. “But she was in the dark which is proof that she was up to no good. How could she see anything with the lights off?”Luciano took a moment to process what Cassie said, and he realized that Cassie was right: Talia was in the dark.The light in the kitchen was off and so was the one in the hallway. The visibility was close to nil.Werewolves have enhanced senses, proportional to the strength of their wolf.Cassie is a weak werewolf and the boost her wolf provides her is negligible when compared to other werewolves.However, Talia was able to

    Seeing that Talia was not responding and that Luciano didn’t react, Cassie was emboldened.“Answer me!”, Cassie hissed at Talia and spoke to Luciano without removing her gaze from Talia. “Is this how your Omegas are acting? You really need a Luna to teach them some manners. Sneaking in the dark and stealing food, and then they even refuse to respond…”“That’s enough, Cassie!”, Maya said sternly from the door.Maya’s heart cracked when she saw Talia’s submissive stance. It’s not that Cassie had any aura, but Talia was a broken soul who needed supportive environment.Maya walked to Talia and asked softly, “Are you OK?”Talia nodded faintly, but Maya knew that Talia was lying.Maya narrowed her eyes at Luciano and spoke through the mind-link. ‘Is this why you brought her here? I thought you promised her protection and not another type of hell.’“Come, let’s get out of here…”, Maya said to Talia while wrapping her arm around Talia’s shoulders.“We are not done here”, Cassie said stiffly,

    Talia blinked herself awake and the first thing she noticed was the darkness.It was definitely past dinner time, but Talia didn’t mind.She buried her head deeper into the pillow, indulging in the softness and warmth that came with the scent of the forest and dark chocolate.Talia paused and took a few sniffs to confirm that her nose is not playing tricks on her.Talia looked around to ascertain that she was on her own.She was confused. The room didn’t smell like Luciano before she fell asleep, but now it did.She liked his scent; it was a mix of her two favorite things: forest and a sweet treat. Talia wondered if Luciano came to check on her while she was sleeping.Talia shook that thought away. Why would a scary Alpha come to check on her?It’s more probable that Stephanie or Maya brought something that had Luciano’s scent on it. But she couldn’t see anything different.Talia decided to stop thinking about it. It doesn’t matter.She listened carefully, and there were no sounds she
