I woke up with a start, my heart racing as if I had just run a marathon. Beads of sweat dotted my forehead and my chest heaved with each breath. The remnants of the nightmare clung to my mind, haunting me like a lingering ghost. It had felt so real, so vivid that I struggled to shake off the feeling of dread that had settled over me.In the dream, I had ventured into Adolph's room, the morning light filtering through the windows. He sat at the table, eating his breakfast as usual. But then, in an instant, the scene had turned into a nightmare. Adolph had begun to choke, his face contorting in pain as he struggled for breath. Panic had gripped me, and I rushed to his side, my hands shaking as I tried to help him.I vividly remembered trying to get him to sit down, frantically pouring water into a glass to ease his distress. But then, the unthinkable happened. In my dream, he had slipped away from me, his body growing still and lifeless. The sight had been too much to bear, and I had sc
I heard Adolph's voice from afar that was when I realized that his death was just my imagination. I sighed feeling relieved. "Scarlett?" Adolph's voice was laced with worry, and he stepped closer to me, his brows furrowed in concern.I quickly wiped away the tears that had welled up in my eyes during my moment of distress. Adolph's presence felt grounding, a reminder that I was no longer trapped in the nightmare that had haunted me just moments ago. But my emotions were still raw, and I struggled to find the words to explain my sudden distress."Adolph," I managed to say, my voice quivering slightly. "I... I just felt like I needed to see you before I leave."Adolph's expression softened, his concern giving way to a warm smile. "Well, I'm glad you stopped by," he said, his eyes holding a gentle warmth that seemed to ease the tension within me.He gestured for me to come in, and I hesitated for a moment before stepping into his room. The familiar sight of his room—the furnishings, the
As I returned to the palace from a busy day at the clinic, a sense of comfort washed over me knowing that Adolph was just a door away. I knocked softly on his door, hoping to see his reassuring face and find solace in his presence. When he opened the door, a wave of relief swept through me, and a small smile formed on my lips."Good evening, Alpha Adolph" I greeted softly, my gaze meeting his tired but warm eyes.Adolph's sleepy appearance caught my attention, and I immediately felt guilty for potentially disturbing his rest. I apologized, my voice tinged with concern, but he assured me it was no trouble and invited me in. I stepped into his room, feeling a sense of calm wash over me as the door closed behind me."No need to apologize," he replied, his voice carrying a softness that eased my worries.Leaning against the doorframe, I took a moment to observe him. Despite the fatigue in his eyes, there was a familiarity in his presence that put me at ease. I let out a sigh of relief, gr
Liam's steps echoed with frustration as he made his way through the opulent corridors of the palace. His mind was a whirlwind of emotions, each one fueling his determination to confront his mother, Lady Isabella. The memories of his recent encounter with his old friends and their jests were like a burning flame in his heart, igniting his anger.Reaching his mother's room, he rapped his knuckles on the door with more force than he intended, the sound echoing through the hallway. The door creaked open, revealing Lady Isabella standing there, a mixture of surprise and concern etched on her features. Her eyes widened as she took in Liam's tense posture and clenched fists."Liam, what's the matter?" Lady Isabella asked, her voice laced with curiosity and a hint of trepidation. She had grown accustomed to her son's intensity, but there was something different about his demeanor today.Without wasting any time, Liam launched into an animated explanation of his encounter with his friends at h
I sat in the pack's clinic, surrounded by the familiar sounds of hushed conversations, the soft rustling of papers, and the occasional hum of medical equipment. My colleagues and I had gathered during our break, sharing stories and laughter to break the monotony of our tasks. The atmosphere was light, a refreshing change from the serious and often intense situations we dealt with daily.As we exchanged tales and caught up on each other's lives, Jessy's voice rang out with a tale that immediately caught my attention. Jessy, one of my colleagues, was known for her playful nature and her knack for finding herself in amusing situations. She had a tendency to bring smiles to our faces even on the toughest days."Luna Scarlett," Jessy chimed in, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "You won't believe what happened last night during my shift."I leaned forward, intrigued by the prospect of a good story. "Do tell, Jessy. I'm all ears."Jessy leaned back in her chair, a grin forming on her lips. "
Anna's eyes were red and puffy from her tears as she stood there, arms crossed, glaring at Louis as he walked through the door. He had returned from the pack's market, hoping to find her peacefully sleeping, not expecting the anger that greeted him instead."Where have you been?" Anna's voice was laced with accusation, her tone sharp and filled with frustration. "You think I don't notice that you've been sneaking out at odd hours?"Louis was taken aback by her reaction, his confusion evident in his expression. He closed the door behind him and approached her cautiously. "Anna, what are you talking about? I was just at the market, running some errands."Her brows furrowed deeper, her arms remaining tightly crossed over her chest. "The market? At this time of the night?" Her voice dripped with disbelief, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears.Louis felt his heart sink at the sight of her distress. He hadn't expected her to be awake, much less to confront him like this. He sighed and
Adolph stood in the palace training ground, the brisk morning air brushing against his skin as he focused on his target. With each arrow he released, he channeled his energy and concentration, the thwack of the arrow hitting the target filling the air. He repeated the process again and again, finding a sort of solace in the rhythmic repetition.As the arrows found their mark, his thoughts began to wander, drifting to a matter that weighed heavily on his heart — his own health and the secret he carried. The truth he held close like a hidden burden, the one he debated sharing with Scarlett, his beloved Luna. Their bond had grown stronger with each passing day, their connection deepening beyond what he had ever imagined.Yet, the secret gnawed at him, like a persistent shadow that refused to be ignored. Adolph knew that hiding such a crucial aspect of his life from Scarlett wasn't fair to either of them. But the thought of revealing his strange illness to her was equally daunting. What i
As I walked through the palace corridor, my heart fluttered with a mix of excitement and anticipation. The market trip had been invigorating, and the treasures I had acquired were safely tucked away in my room, waiting to be transformed into beautiful creations. Little did I know that another pleasant surprise awaited me just around the corner.As I turned the corner, I found myself face to face with Adolph. His presence never failed to send a rush of warmth through me, and my cheeks couldn't help but flush a rosy hue. A smile graced his lips as he greeted me, his eyes sparkling with affection."Hello, my Luna," he said, his voice a soothing melody that resonated within me."Hello, Adolph," I replied, my own voice tinged with a mixture of happiness and shyness. "What brings you here?"Adolph's eyes held a playful glint. "I was actually on my way to your room."A delightful sensation danced within me at his words. Adolph had a way of making my heart skip a beat with his unexpected visi
The events of the previous day gradually filtered back into my memory as I woke up. I recalled the wonderful recovery I had brought about for Adolph, the man I loved more than anything in the world, my heart fluttered with joy. Adolph walked into the room as if reading my mind, his eyes glistening with a secret he could no longer keep to himself. My heart warmed at his sight, at his commanding presence, at his unshakable affection."There is something I need to tell you, Scarlett," he said, his voice tinged with a mixture of astonishment and joy.With my interest awakened, I grinned at him and invited him to speak about whatever was on his mind. Saying, "What is it, Adolph?"He broke the news that had made him so happy with a compassionate face. "Scarlett, you're carrying our child."I was unsure of the meaning of the words for a little period of time as they hung in the air. Then, like a tsunami, the realisation swept over me. Adolph would become a father, and I would become a mothe
I took a deep breath and started to go up to each patient one at a time. I held out my hand and used the healing power the Moon goddess had given me to softly touch their foreheads. I could feel the warmth of my touch spreading throughout their bodies as the energy streamed from me. Their expressions changed as I went from one person to the next, from suffering to relief to hope.The pack's physician and his assistants were astounded to see the once-pale faces come to life and take on colour. As they realised that our pack had finally experienced healing, gratitude filled their eyes. My eyes started to tear up, not from grief but from the intense feelings I was feeling at the time.The doctor of the pack remarked, his voice full of awe, "Thank you, Luna Scarlett. Our pack has been given a second chance at life thanks to you."I grinned, a mixture of pride and modesty filling my heart. "It's not just me," I said in response. "The Moon goddess is the one who saved us. And you all made t
With a start, I awoke to see my surroundings illuminated by an ethereal, otherworldly light. My original assumption was that I had entered the werewolf afterlife known as Elysium. However, as my senses became more acute, I understood that I was still very much alive.Not in her regular shape but rather as a display of her real power, the Moon goddess stepped in front of me. I received a fleeting glimpse of it before my life vanished, a sight that should have been impossible for mortal eyes to see."Am I really in Elysium?" My voice quivered in amazement and perplexity as I questioned.The Moon goddess grinned warmly, exuding a presence that was at once incredibly strong and utterly compassionate. "No, my dear, you are still among the living."I exhaled a sigh of relaxation as appreciation flooded my body. I'm grateful to the moon goddess for saving my life."I must apologise, Scarlett," she said, her eyes displaying a trace of regret. You perished because that was me in my actual form
I was standing in front of Adolph when I realized that this might be our final embrace and our last time together.I clutched on Adolph as if my life depended on it as his arms embraced me in a warm, loving hug. We both had tears streaming down our faces as a bittersweet monument to the love we had for one another.Adolph muttered inconsolably, "I don't want to let you go," his voice shaking with sorrow.Although his words mirrored my own, I realized there was nothing else to do. In an attempt to permanently imprint the memory of his aroma and touch into my very being, I squeezed him closer while buried my face in his shoulder.Adolph touched my ear and whispered, "I love you, Scarlett."Even though I was choking on emotion, I was still able to speak through the tears. Adolph, I also adore you with all of my heart.Time seemed to stand still as we held to each other for what seemed like an endless amount of time during our heartbreaking farewell. Although I wanted to cling to this emb
Through my room's curtains, the dawn's first light could be seen. I had been up all night thinking about the agonizing decision I had to make. The load of sacrifice was one that fate had placed on my shoulders. I had to face my destiny since I could no longer deny it.My limbs were heavy with tiredness as I got up from the floor and walked over to Adolph's room. No matter how terrible it would be for both of us, he was my heart and my love, and I needed to tell him what I had decided.Adolph was seated on his bed when I walked into his room, looking at me with concern and a sense of despair. We need to discuss, I said in a shaking voice, "Adolph."He nodded, never taking his eyes off of mine, and I could tell he was nervous from the look on his face.I inhaled deeply as every word I spoke caused my heart to ache. "Adolph, I've made a decision."What decision, Scarlett? he inquired, his brows furrowed.I battled to contain the feelings that threatened to overpower me as tears began to
I was standing in Adolph's room when the words were spoken, my heart racing with a mix of rage, perplexity, and despair. Adolph looked at me, but it was obvious that he was uneasy and unsure of how to handle the feelings that had risen between us.His voice quivered as he said, "Scarlett," "I... I didn't know how to tell you."I was unable to muster the will to reply. I was now at my most enraged. My anger had been simmering. I had placed my entire life and heart in Adolph's hands, and now I stood in front of him, staring at the unthinkable.Adolph inquired, "How are you holding up, Scarlett?" showing his concern for my well being.The question he asked only served to feed my rage. He knew what he and Louis had talked about and what they had decided on my behalf, so how could he ask me that?I spoke louder and more vehemently out of exasperation, "Sit down and explain everything to me!"Adolph complied and sat down on the side of his bed with his shoulders hunched. He started up by de
As Louis made his way to the pack's clinic, his heart was racing with urgency. His beloved wife Anna was seriously ill, and this worried and terrified him. Louis was unable to bear to watch the suffering of the lady he loved since the evil that had befallen their pack had now spread to their house.He hurried inside the pack's clinic after forcing open its thick doors and searching the space for a recognisable face. He located the pack doctor, who was responding to Anna's needs, among the medical staff and worried pack members.The doctor of the pack greeted him, "Louis," with a grave gaze. "Anna is suffering from the strange illness, and I'm doing everything I can for her,"Louis screamed in a desperate tone, "Please, do whatever you can to save her.Louis received a comforting hand on the shoulder from the pack's physician. Louis, I'll do my best. We won't give up on her since we're all in this together.Louis left the clinic with a heavy heart, realizing that there wasn't much more
Louis couldn't help but bring up the matter that had been bothering him as they entered the palace. Although he was aware that such a choice would be difficult to make, he also understood how crucial it would be for the pack's survival.Adolph, I recognise how challenging this is for you," Louis said hesitantly. I'm not sure if I could sacrifice Anna if someone asked me to. But we need to keep in mind that our entire pack's welfare is on the line."Adolph paused and rubbed his brow as he considered Louis's remarks. The decision weighed heavy on his shoulders, and he was aware that whichever course he chose would have far-reaching effects.Adolph responded, his voice heaving with emotion, "I know, Louis." However, I find it intolerable to consider forsaking Scarlett. She is absolutely everything to me, and I cannot fathom living without her.Louis gave a sympathetic nod as he nodded in agreement. "I understand, my friend. Anna's loss is unimaginable to me as well. But we must always ke
The rate at which the pack members fell sick was alarming and it was evident that the workload for each doctor's assistant was unbearable. I thought about how I could offer a solution that would relieve everyone a bit so I decided that some maids which were not affected by the strange disease should be allowed to assist us in the clinic. I informed the pack's doctor about it before taking such a step. He agreed and was happy that I came up with that idea. The maids worked nonstop, their commitment constant, assuring that those in our care had all they required, as well as comfort and cleaning. The doctor of the pack, a beacon of knowledge and generosity, expressed his appreciation for our help. "Scarlett, your maids have been a tremendous help," he added, his voice full of gratitude. Without their assistance, we would not have survived.I agreed and nodded, feeling a surge of pride for my maids. They share our pack's dedication and compassion.But despite all the activity and const
