“Keir!”

The tense lines on my face relaxed immediately. I instantly pushed him inside the room and closed the door behind us. I sighed in relief when the sound of the approaching footsteps faded gradually. Resting my forehead against Keir’s chest, I mumbled in a low and breathy voice, “Thank God! I found you. I- I-”

I couldn’t say anymore. I didn’t even realise that I was resting my head on his chest until his hand gently touched the back of my head. All the sounds disappeared and his steady heartbeat calmed me down.

After a little pause, Keir asked in a low and gentle voice, “What is wrong? Why do you look so scared?”

Without looking up, I mumbled briefly, “Why did you leave me alone in the hall? I was looking for you everywhere.”

Keir’s familiar scent and his warmth worked like magic. In a few seconds, the inner torment and fear of Lucas both faded away from my mind. I slowly looked up, taking a step back from him.

Keir spoke in an odd yet gentle tone, “S-sorry. I shouldn’t have lef

    (POV of Young Eliza Claire Gold)(Night Walker Clan House, Verena)“Mmh!”The golden rays of the sun streamed gently through the open window, casting a radiant glow that momentarily blinded me as I opened my sleepy eyes. I found myself again in that familiar and cosy bedroom. Thin curtains were dancing in the soft and cold breezes of the morning. Tossing and turning for a few more minutes, I got down from the bed at last. The dawn was enchanting, with the amber-hued sun shimmering brilliantly, painting the world in its warm embrace.It was around 6 O'clock in the morning.The melodious chirping of birds filled the air as I stepped outside of the room, my footsteps light and cautious.

    Darkness was ruling over the Starfall forest.‘Hoot! Hoot!’ The frequent screaming of the owls bothered the enigmatic tranquillity of the night until footsteps began to increase, crackling the dry branches and leaves under its claws.It was the footsteps of a night creature that was running through that dense, Starfall forest of Auryn. Her breathing was heavier as she ran faster until she reached the top of the mountain that was separating Auryn and Verena, working as a border between those two kingdoms. That golden she-wolf stood higher on her hind legs, pointing her nose towards the moon.The silvery moon, loomed large, surrounded by an ethereal glow like the mighty queen of the velvety black sky. The stars in the presence of the moon made it the guardian of all the stars.That Shewolf’s golden and silky fur tousled by the soft breezes of the spring as her rare purple eyes were the colour of lavenders; lively, enchanting, and beautiful. Breaking that serene silence of that silve

    POV of Eliza Claire Gold(5 years later, Velvet Villa, Starlight Kingdom)‘Knock! Knock!’“Are you ready, Lily?”Issac’s gentle voice echoed from the opposite side of the door as I checked myself once again, staring at my reflection in the huge, round mirror of the washroom, and then replied, curling my lips into a seductive smile, “More than ready, Sir. Let’s taste some exotic wine tonight.”“Not Sir. It is Issac. How many times do I have to correct you?” Issac protested annoyedly.Clicking my tongue, I only blurted out a tiny ‘sorry’ in response. Grabbing my masquerade mask, I fixed my astounding and comfortable, red dress, embroidered with shimmering golden threads. However, it was a little too revealing and attention-seeking, not according to my taste. While putting on the mask, I opened the door and approached Issac Liwan, my senior and trainer who was standing all dressed up in a maroon tuxedo. Issac swung his head around to look up at me. He scanned me critically and beamed

    (POV of Eliza Claire Gold)‘Damn! It looks magnificent.’I mumbled as I entered the vast hall of the VIP floor. It was more extravagantly decorated than the ground floor. A famous pianist was playing a gentle piano tune as some luxuriously dressed couples were swaying their bodies along with it. ‘I should go and find Mr Hogg before anyone else recognises me here,’ I thought to myself as I paved my way through the crowd. Instead of taking the left, I turned right in the direction of the confidential area. That floor was specially reserved for the elite guests of the party so the security was also very strict there. The moment I tried to enter the corridor of the guests’ rooms, I was stopped by two guards who blocked my path, “May we see your ID card, Mam?”“Sure, one minute”, I pretended for a moment to search inside my handbag. Then I flashed them a disappointed smile as I answered in my honeyed tone while playing with a strand of my hair, “I am so sorry. I just forgot it in the ro

    Wait! Let me accompany-”Before Juliet could finish her sentence, I ran through the crowd in the opposite direction of Sasha. ‘No! No! How can she be here? She was occupied on the other side of the party! I can never meet her.;’‘H-How will she react if just for once I talk with- What am I even thinking!’ Thousands of conflicting thoughts were in my head when I barged into the washroom. Without realising it, my vision blurred by tears. The tears I always tried to hide from everyone, began to run down from my eyes. Biting my lips, I tried to control the sobs as I kept on murmuring, “Calm down! Calm down! I have an important mission to handle. I must not get distracted.”Taking deep breaths, I calmed myself down and wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes. But the memories that I was trying to suppress were constantly tormenting me within. After waiting a while, I decided to go back to the party, suppressing my emotions. Obviously, that mission was more important than my sil

    ‘Damn! Issac!’I cursed annoyedly while walking hastily through the vast and empty corridor of the second floor. I was impatiently trying to call him, ‘Why isn’t he picking up?’My eyes were bordered with tears and my mouth was as pale as my cheeks.I hastily walked out of the Velvet Villa in search of a taxi. It was so early in the morning that there was barely any guard so none tried to stop or question my messy and suspicious appearance. Holding my heels with one hand, I was staggering and dragging myself as far away from the Velvet Vila as possible. My head was still throbbing and my vision was blurry due to the tears, clouding my burning eyes.An inner torment began to gnaw at me as memories were burning my heart. I mumbled, biting my lips hard to control my tears, “How! How the hell did I end up with him again?’While remembering about last night, my face turned red and gloomy as I mumbled, “I- I just h-hate him so much. I never wanna-”My voice just choked in the middle of the

    “Make Haste, Eliza! Eden is waiting for you outside,” Aunt Christi was running behind me, holding my handbag while I was still trying to fix my extravagant and heavy gown. It was the first time I had attended such a huge social gathering; I was feeling extremely anxious, too. One of my grooming ladies tried to calm me down, “Little Missy, that gown looks so elegant on you.” While rubbing my fingers nervously, I scanned myself once again in the huge oval mirror of my bedroom as I mumbled, “Don’t you think that this dress is a little too much? I think that I should wear something casual and-” “You can think later. We are already running late.” Shoving my matching handbag in my hands, Aunt Christi just walked me out of the room, holding my wrist. My heart was thumping so loudly that I couldn’t hear any other sound around me. My introverted personality was screaming in frustration. The moment Aunt opened the door, I found Eden, leaning against a huge pillar of our vast corridor. He wa

    Good Evening, Aldus.”Eden curtsied to the Mage as he explained briefly, “Eliza Claire Gold is here to get your blessing so that she can officially join the pack tonight.”Aldus’s young voice echoed again, “Come inside. Let me have a glimpse of her destiny.” The room was dark still now but the moment we stepped in, a bright light filled the room and I found an old man with long white hair and dark eyes, sitting on a couch with a heavy book in his hand.He had a very gentle smile, peeping through his silky grey beard. Looking up at me, he greeted me warmly, “Good Evening, Miss Eliza. May I?”He raised his hand in front of me as he asked for my hand. He had a very unique aura, powerful yet mysterious and unpredictable. I felt awkward and slightly scared. But, he added again, “Don’t be scared, Young Lady. It will not be as painful as your first transformation.”Smiling nervously, I placed my hand on his, “I am not scared at all.”Chuckling, the old man covered my hand with his as he clos

    “Eat more! You are a wolf not a bird.”Keir taunted me while serving me more meat. I was already full after eating so much. It seemed like Keir preferred meat a lot. Majority of the dishes were made of meat along with a few bowls of salad and fruits. While eating, I didn’t really get the chance to talk anymore. It seemed like he was quite hungry after a long day. So, we both focused on the food. However, Keir was still paying attention to me.After finishing my food, I was about to leave the dining table when Keir stated, “Wait! I have asked to make some dessert for you.”I asked in a surprised tone, “Do you like sweets? I didn’t know.”“I don’t like sweets but I thought that you would like it,” Keir answered while munching the last piece of his sausage. Keir signed the old lady who was in charge of the kitchen to serve it. They actually made three types of desserts. There was chocolate brownie, pudding and jello.

    “That’s rubbish!”Kyrell protested promptly, looking up from his burger. He continued, snickering at Keir, “Since Childhood, this guy has been stealing my food and forcing my food to share with him. Still, our love is only decreasing.”Shrugging his shoulders, Keir answered casually while unbuttoning his coat, “I am not liking this version of you that much. I wish you were still that cry baby and drooling all the time while following me.”“Ahh! Shut up!”Kyrell demanded in an irritated tone, “How did you come here? I thought that you had an important meeting to handle.”While stretching his long arms, Keir answered casually, “I have finished that already. What do you think of me?” Turning to me, Keir asked, “Have you bought everything you needed?”“Hmm,” I nodded, “I think that I have bought more than I needed.”Leaning closer, he picked up my half-empty Boba tea as he inquired playfully, “Did you have fun? Do you wanna eat anything else? Wanna go somewhere else? I am free for the who

    “Eliza, are you awake?”I woke up from a loud knock at the door. Blinking sleepily, I asked in a muffled voice, “Mmh! Who is it?”It took me a few seconds to recall where I was and why that bedroom wasn’t looking that familiar to me. When I looked at the door, Sasha was standing there. She was dressed casually but she was looking prettier than usual after putting on slight makeup and tying her hair neatly in a ponytail.I asked in a puzzled tone, looking in her direction, “Now, I am awake. Do you need to tell me anything urgently?”Sasha dashed into the room with a gloomy face as she asked while fixing her hair, “Eliza, I am going to meet your brother in an hour. Do you want to tell him anything?”“Yeah!”I paused for a moment as I mumbled, hesitating for a bit, “Yes, tell him that I am sorry. I caused him so much trouble. I really wanna call him and talk but-”“But? Is he an angry guy? Will he scold you if you call him now?” Sasha asked anxiously. I corrected her hastily, “No, no! I

    “I am so sleepy but I still didn’t get any news of Eden.”After Sasha left, Kyrell came to visit me in the evening. It seemed like Kyrell was investigating the kidnapping incident so he talked with me about it only while asking tons of questions.However, when I asked him about Eden, Kyrell’s face became darker. He only answered, forcing a tiny smile on his lips, “Princess Eliza, don’t worry about Prince Eden. Brother talked with him already.”I asked promptly, “Can I return home tomorrow?”Sighing briefly, Kyrell answered, “You have to stay here for a few more days. We will send you back the moment everything is sought out.”“What needs to be sought out?” I asked impatiently.But, Kyrell already stood up from the sofa. Smiling politely at me, he replied, “Pardon me, I can’t really tell you much at this moment. Please rest well.”Then, he just left without even waiting for my answer as if he was running away from me.~~~Yawning sleepily, I walked out of the bed to the balcony. I was

    ‘Darkness!’I was running through a dark and never ending passage. I had no idea where I was but I wanted to get out of that place. I could feel a suffocating sensation, choking my throat. A thin white mist was circling around me, making my vision blurry.‘Don’t touch me! Keep your hands away from me!’I started, yelling as I felt the disgusting touches of cold hands all over me. Those hands were wandering on my body aimlessly like numerous snakes crawling over me. I started running faster but there was no way out from that darkness.Soon, I noticed pairs of burning eyes, chasing after me. I gasped in fear, realising a shiver of panic. I kept on running for hours but there wasn’t a single ray of light. The darkness was drowning me, those cold and disgusting touches were making me nauseated. I gave up at last. I was alone, alone in that eternal abyss of darkness. My anguish was almost overcoming my control. I could hear the panting of those huge Lycans who were standing, circling aroun

    “I am so glad to see you again.”I mumbled in relief. Tears were rolling down from my eyes constantly.Closing my eyes, I buried my face against his chest. His manly body odor mixed with a faint sweet scent of his perfume. It was such an alluring scent that my nerves and rapid heartbeats began to calm down again.I could hear the voice of the host and a few other people who tried to stop him. The host stated hastily, approaching us, “Mister Walker, you can’t take her with you like that. Please follow the protocol.”Glaring at him, Keir growled furiously, “Protocol? What kind of protocol do I need to follow now to stop this shameless act?”Kyrell hastily interrupted them, trying to calm down Keir, “Brother, we can’t really interrupt the auction or Father will be very angry with you. It will spoil our relationship with the Mikasha organisation too.”The host suggested in a timid voice, “Mister Walker, if you like that maid, you can buy her.
