So,what do you think? Why did Eliza and Keir part their ways though they had one of the most beautiful beginning? Are you curious to know more about their past? Then, you just have to keep reading the story... Love from your loyal listener, Ishabella
(POV of Eliza Claire Gold, 5 years later when she is 24 years old)(Present time, lying in Issac’s car)“Wake up, Lily! We have reached your home.”Issac’s gentle voice woke me up. Tears were glistening at the corner of my eyes as my eyes were still clouded with memories. My nights were sleepless due to those tormenting memories.I tried my best to forget my past and start fresh but they were chasing me like my shadow. They kept on coming back, again and again. Taking deep breaths, I calmed my hammering heartbeats as I almost dragged my aching body out of the car.“Wait! Hold my hand,” Issac hastily approached me. He looked worried. He wrapped his coat around my shoulders as he supported me to walk inside. My house was a small, three-roomed cottage in the outskirts of the city, a little far away from the pack house.Awkwardly, clearing my throat, I mumbled, “I am ok, Issac. You don’t have to-”Issac cut me in the middle of the sentence as he ordered, “Stay quiet. You need to rest well.
‘It’s already 2pm!’I checked the time on my wrist watch, sitting impatiently outside the interview room. Since 11am, I had been waiting there and asked a few staff members about the interview but they all just asked me to wait.Sighing impatiently, I stood up from my seat, “Damn! My head is aching. I even skipped breakfast to attend this interview and this damn Hogg. I wish I could punch his chubby face and-”I began to walk towards the canteen to get a cup of tea when a young lady in neat, formal dress announced my name from behind, “Miss Eliza Claire? Madam is calling you inside.”‘Madam! Is it that treacherous woman again?’My nerves tensed immediately, 'Alpha wont forgive me if I disappoint him again. I must get this job.'With a smile, I hastily followed that young lady to the conference hall. Knocking at the door, I asked, “May I come in?”“Yes, come in,” Juliet’s familiar voice echoed from inside.I curved my lips with the brightest smile I could pull in that situation and ent
“What?”My mind refused to believe Mr. Hogg’s words as I asked once again in bewilderment.Water was dripping from his expensive coat and his leather shoes were in terrible condition. Mr Hogg was panting heavily; clearly he ran very fast to catch me. He waited a few seconds to inhale and then, he repeated annoyedly, “Hurry! The CEO is waiting for you. He wants to talk with you urgently.”“But why?”Mr. Hogg sighed, “How will I know? You just follow me quietly. Don’t ask your stupid questions.”I found him vaguely disturbing and extremely suspicious. But, I couldn’t suppress my curiosity. We both were dripping wet in that heavy rain as we walked back to the office, in front of those guards who threw me out a moment ago.Mr Hogg led me to the lift and then directly to the 30th floor. We both were quiet in the lift as he was wiping his wet face with his half-drenched handkerchief with an annoyed expression. I couldn’t believe that man literally chased me in that heavy rain, without any um
“Then what were you doing on my bed?”Keir asked tauntingly while lighting a cigarette. I could see the heavy rain through the vast glass wall of the room. The dark clouds became darker with the frequent lightning. I sighed instinctively as I looked at him, frowning my brows, “Why? Hasn’t Mr. Hogg told you anything, Sir?”A bitter sensation annoyed me. Instead of getting scared of Keir, I glared at him, “I had no desire to seduce anyone. Miss Juliet and Mr. Hogg drugged me and sent me to your room. I wasn’t in my senses. I can’t even remember-”“Why should I trust you?” Keir asked while exhaling a puff of smoke.I answered boldly, “That’s up to you. Check the cameras and ask your staff, maybe? But, I am not lying.”Keir’s emerald eyes focused on me for a while, and then he answered, “I will send my men to inquire about you. If I find anything suspicious, I will make sure that you suffer miserably. So, don’t try to trick me.”Sighing, I murmured under my breath, “Am I not already suff
(20 minutes later)“Where were you? Why weren’t you picking up your call?”Isaac jumped out of my house with a dark expression, the moment I knocked at the door of my house. His calm face looked tormented as he was glaring at me, annoyedly. However, looking at my wounds, his expression softened slightly,Stepping away from the door, he asked, “How did you get injured?”Sighing I stepped in and dropped on the couch exhaustedly. The pattering sound of the rain on my windowsill felt like background music. I murmured while yawning sleepily, “Sorry, Issac. I couldn’t pick up the phone because I was inside the AJC organisation, having another interview.” Then, looking at my bandaged right ankle, I added, “Don’t worry about that wound. I just slipped and twisted my ankle. Nothing big!”Issac’s brows frowned deep as he asked confusedly, “Another interview? How did you manage that?”I was too exhausted to tell Issac everything at that moment. I just mumbled, closing my eyes, “That’s a long sto
(5 years ago, almost midnight) (In the rose garden of the Golden Heart pack house, Auryn City) Keir was sitting on the bank of a lake next to the garden, dipping his feet in the cold water of the lake. His mouth curved into an unconscious smile, looking at his swollen foot. The cold breezes of night were playing with his inky black hair. Thinking about Eliza's sassy expression, he mumbled to himself, “Torment me now as much as you want, Firefly! I am gonna have my revenge on you.” Suddenly, from behind he felt a little push on his back. Wrapping his arm around Keir’s shoulder, Kyrell dropped next to him, “What’s wrong, brother? Can’t sleep?” Noticing his foot, Kyrell asked in utter confusion, “How did you injure yourself? Damn! These wounds look painful. Your foot is swollen like a ball.” Chuckling softly, Keir answered in a low voice, staring at the sparkling stars above, “Those are marks of Miss Eliza’s heel. Maybe she was a little too impressed by my skill and rewarded me gene
(POV of Eliza Claire Gold, 5 years ago) (In her balcony, almost midnight) “Yes! Yes! Good night, Aunt. I will go directly to my bed.” Sighing, I closed the door of my bedroom after convincing Aunt that I was going to sleep early, not staying awake late or sneaking out of the room. The next day, I needed to attend a tea party to get well acquainted with the prestigious females of the pack. Strolling lazily, I went to my balcony to get some fresh air. That night was very beautiful. The silvery moon was in the middle of the sky, showering everything with its grace. ‘Uff! The day was really exhausting.’ Leaning against the railing of the balcony, I mumbled lazily. Suddenly, recalling the dance performance and Eden’s lecture after that, my heart became slightly restless, ‘Keir, that guy is something!’ ‘He isn’t scared of anyone. Despite being a lycan warrior, he chose to be my dance-’ ‘Wait! Isn’t that-’ I almost hung half of my body out of the balcony as I screamed in a low voice,
“HOWLLLL!”Eden’s growling was a signal for us to block the path from three sides while they were chasing the main group. We scattered instantly while chasing those dark silhouettes who began to run through the forest.My wolf was quite fast so soon, it caught one of them and plunged on him. He didn’t even get the time to shift or fight back. My wolf pinned him down on the ground and tore out a lump of flesh from his chest, furiously attacking him a few times.Blood began to gush out and drenched the shiny, golden fur around my mouth and of my paws. While writhing in pain, the guy lost his life in a few seconds. Howling cheerfully, I declared about my first victory. Murphy and Eden answered my howling instantly.I sensed three or four wolves around me. Without wasting any more time, I followed two of them. They all shifted so it wasn’t as easy as before. But, after getting the taste of blood, I lost most of the control on my wolf and it was ready to attack mercilessly.Soon I managed
Sitting by the swimming pool, I was chatting with Sasha, who was, as always, her talkative self. She was animatedly recounting every moment she had spent with my brother, describing every word they exchanged.Pausing for a moment, Sasha took a long sip of her virgin mojito and leaned back on her sunlounger. “Why didn’t you tell me that Eden is so handsome?” she asked with a playful pout. “I would have dressed better to impress him!”A secretive smile tugged at my lips as I turned to her and said, “You don’t need to dress up, Sasha. Your smile alone is enough to charm anyone.”The cool evening breeze rippled gently over the lake’s surface, blending with the warm, reddish glow of the setting sun. The sky was painted in hues of orange and crimson, creating a serene backdrop.Curious, I asked, “My brother has never shown interest in dating or even talking to girls. Honestly, I was beginning to think he preferred guys. How did he manage to impress you?”Sasha burst into laughter, her eyes
“I am in!”I promptly agreed to his proposal with dazzling determination.Without giving him the chance to get ready, I dashed towards him to attack. But, Keir was faster than I expected. He dodged easily as he commented, still with that mysterious grin, “Oh! You look quite impatient, Firefly.”Though I was charging him with full force constantly, he looked at ease as if it was a child’s play for him. His sword was moving gracefully, blocking all my attacks. Keir didn’t even attack me. All his moves were defensive but I started to feel exhausted after a few minutes. Seeing the beads of sweat glistening on my brow, Keir smirked and taunted with playful disdain, “I haven’t even begun, and you’re already tired. What a shame!”Suppressing the weight of my fatigue, I straightened my posture and retorted with defiant arrogance, “Who told you I’m tired? I won’t rest until I’ve brought you to your knees, Royal Prince.”“Try harder then, Firefly! I would love to be defeated by you.”But in th
(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. A breathtaking scene unfolded before me. In the meadow, a little distance away, Keir and Kyrell were engaged in a mesmerizing sword fight. Their movements were a flawless blend of grace and precision, a dance of strength and skill. They were too engrossed in their training to notice me. Beads of sweat gl
“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
“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. I was already too full for the dessert but I couldn’t hold back mysel
“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
