[POV of Eliza Claire Gold]

(The Main Building of the Night Walker Clan)

“Happy Birthday, Mr.”

I whispered shyly, passing him the wrapped gift box, “I am so sorry for my ignorance. I should have known-”

“Shh!”

Pressing his finger gently to my lips, Keir whispered with that signature, charming smile of his, “Sorry is the last thing I want to hear from you tonight. Can I ask you something?”

Curious, I nodded. “Yes?”

“Will you stay with me tonight?”

Before I could respond, his strong arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer. His emerald eyes locked with mine, and he whispered, his voice soft and warm, “Can I have you as my special gift, M’lady?”

Even though I’d shared moments like this with Keir before, his words always made my heart race uncontrollably. His intense gaze was almost too much to bear. My cheeks burned with a blush I couldn’t hide, and I bit my lower lip shyly before nodding.

“You can,” I replied softly, barely meeting his eyes. “It’s your birthday, after all. I should

    Darkness enveloped the Starfall Forest, its dense canopy casting deep shadows that seemed alive with mystery."Hoot! Hoot!"The owls’ sharp cries pierced the serene stillness of the night, until the faint, rhythmic sound of footsteps broke through, rustling the brittle leaves and snapping dry twigs underfoot.A creature of the night was running, darting through the dense woods of Auryn’s Starfall Forest.Her breaths came in short, heavy bursts as she pushed herself to run faster. Her path led upward, toward the towering mountain that marked the border between the rival kingdoms of Auryn and Verena.Finally, she reached the summit, her slender, golden form framed against the vast night sky. Rising onto her hind legs, the she-wolf tilted her head back and fixed her rare lavender eyes on the moon—a giant orb of silver light radiating an ethereal glow. Like a queen presiding over her celestial court, the moon stood sentinel among a sea of glittering stars, its presence both commanding and

    POV of Eliza Claire Gold(5 years later, Velvet Villa, Starlight Kingdom)Knock, knock!“Are you ready, Lily?”Isaac’s calm, gentle voice came from the other side of the door as I adjusted my mask one last time, staring at my reflection in the large, round mirror. My lips curled into a teasing smile as I responded, “More than ready, Sir. Let’s savor some exotic wine tonight.”“It’s Isaac, not ‘Sir.’ How many times do I have to tell you?” he replied, his tone carrying an edge of exasperation.I clicked my tongue playfully and muttered a quick, “Sorry.”Grabbing my shimmering masquerade mask, I smoothed the folds of my red gown embroidered with fine golden threads. It hugged my figure elegantly, though it revealed more than I preferred—a choice I’d reluctantly made to blend in with the crowd.When I opened the door, Isaac was waiting, dressed sharply in a maroon tuxedo. His piercing blue eyes, framed by silver streaks in his neatly combed hair, scrutinized me for a moment before nodding

    "Wow, this place is breathtaking."I mumbled to myself as I stepped into the grand hall on the VIP floor. The décor was exquisite, far more luxurious than the ground floor. A renowned pianist played a soft melody on a grand piano while elegantly dressed couples swayed to the rhythm, their movements as graceful as the music itself."I need to find Mr. Hogg before anyone recognizes me," I thought, weaving my way through the crowd. Instead of heading left toward the main gathering, I turned right, toward the restricted area.This floor was exclusively for elite guests, and the security was noticeably tighter. As I approached the corridor leading to the guest rooms, two guards immediately blocked my path."May we see your ID card, ma’am?" one of them asked sternly.I forced a polite smile and pretended to rummage through my handbag. "Oh, of course! Just give me a moment."After a brief pause, I let out a small sigh and said in my sweetest tone, "I’m so sorry, but I seem to have left it in

    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 it, Isaac!"I cursed under my breath, storming down the quiet corridor of the second floor. My hands trembled as I repeatedly dialed his number, my frustration mounting. "Why isn’t he answering?"Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision, while my face—pale and drawn—showed the torment I couldn’t escape.Barefoot, clutching my heels in one hand, I stumbled out of Velvet Villa into the stillness of the early morning. The streets were empty, save for a light mist rolling across the ground. There weren’t any guards around, which was a blessing. No one stopped me, no one questioned my disheveled appearance.I dragged my tired body further away from the villa, every step an effort. My head throbbed, and the tears burned my cheeks. I muttered through gritted teeth, "How did I end up with him again?"The memories of last night replayed in my mind, each one piercing my heart like a dagger. My face turned hot with a mixture of anger and shame as I choked out, "I… I hate him. I hate h

    “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

    (In the room of Keir Allen Walker, 5 years ago when he was 23 years old)(The Clan house of Night Walker clan, Verena City)“Damn! What a long day it was!”Keir just threw his exhausted body on his king-size bed after a long day of hard work. Through his open window, he could see the reddish sky and the horizon where a red fireball was wishing its goodbye for that day.The flocks of birds were returning back to their nests and the dense starfall forest was looking so mysterious and solitary at the reddening hue of the twilight. From afar, Keir could see the peak of the hill that was separating the Lycan and Werewolf kingdom.Suddenly, his heart twitched with a longing, recalling about that golden she-wolf which he saw last night. After that incident, he couldn’t sleep even a wink; the whole night, he was thinking about her.While tossing and turning on his bed, he spent the night frustrated and tormented. His Lycan was growling impatiently, demanding to meet her. That intoxicating scen

    (POV of Eliza Claire Gold)(One month later)“It’s so sunny today!”I dropped onto the cozy couch on the balcony of the little cottage nestled in the forest. Sweat trickled down my forehead, and my breath was uneven after a 10km run. Hearing footsteps behind me, I turned sharply, startled.“Sasha! When did you get here?” I asked, my face lighting up with a bright smile.Sasha sank onto the couch beside me, holding a cup of coffee. “I’ve been waiting for you for fifteen minutes. Where on earth were you so early in the morning?”“Oh, I was just bored staying inside,” I replied casually. Smiling brightly, I added, “Why don’t you stay with me today? I’ve been so lonely lately that I ended up teaching myself how to cook.”Laughing, Sasha raised an eyebrow. “Were those dishes even edible?”“Of course!” I said, puffing up my chest proudly. “Aunt Merry even complimented my cooking. I could cook lunch for you today if you want!”Throwing her hands up in surrender, Sasha exclaimed, “No way! We’r

    “You can moan louder!”Passion coursed through me, igniting every nerve as I trembled under the intensity of his playful tongue. My voice wavered, barely a whisper. "Keir... it feels so-"Before I could finish, his fingers gently pressed against my lips, silencing me as they slid inside. The warmth of my breath mingled with the slickness of his touch, heightening the tension between us.My body arched instinctively, every muscle tightening as waves of pleasure crashed over me. A soft cry escaped my lips, and when I met his gaze, the satisfied curve of his smile sent another jolt through me.Keir leaned down, his lips capturing mine with a fiery hunger. "Don't give in so soon, Eliza," he murmured against my mouth, his voice low and commanding. "We've only just begun.”My breath came in quick, shallow bursts as the heat between us grew unbearable. His body pressed closer, the firm evidence of his desire teasing me, brushing against the dampness he'd already claimed. The anticipation was

    (POV of Young Eliza Claire Gold)I somehow managed to stammer, "Y-You already have a mate! H-How can I-"Keir's arms tightened around me, his lips brushing against my ear as he whispered, "Yes, I do. I found out my mate is my childhood friend-but none of that matters because my Lycan craves you, Eliza. You, more than anyone, more than her, more than fate itself.""Oh."I tilted my face toward him, raising a brow. "So, you want me because your Lycan desires me, is that it?"Keir chuckled low, a sound that sent a shiver down my spine. Before I could react, he spun me to face him. His hands gripped my waist firmly, pulling me closer until there was no space between us. His voice was low,deliberate. "No, Princess. I want you because I love you. I care for you. You're mine-not because of my Lycan, but because I choose you. I've always chosen you before everyone."My heart pounded so loudly I was sure he could hear it. His intense gaze locked onto mine, his breathing ragged. I could feel his

    POV of Young Eliza Claire"Keir? Where are we going?"I asked, my voice filled with curiosity as I looked around the unfamiliar path. Instead of heading back to the Night Walker Clan house, the car sped deeper into the forest of the Night Walker Territory.Without glancing at me, Keir smirked mysteriously and replied, "You'll find out soon, Firefly. Are you sleepy?"It was close to midnight, but sleep was the last thing on my mind. Keir's presence had stolen any trace of tiredness. My heart fluttered restlessly as my eyes kept drifting to his sharp, handsome features. His charming smile lingered on his lips, and in the soft glow of the moonlight, he looked like a perfect sculpture carved out of stone.Sensing my gaze on him, he suggested, “Take a nap if you want. I’ll wake you up when we get there.”“Umm, no, it’s fine,” I murmured, smiling shyly at him. “I can stay up all night if you—”“If I ask? Would you really do whatever I ask?” Keir teased, his tone playful.Shaking my head, I

    POV of Young Eliza Claire Gold“It’s getting late. I think I should leave now,” Eden said, glancing at his watch. I sat besidehim, with Sasha on his other side. Keir and Kyrell were seated next to me.Dave, the host of the party, had stepped out for a moment to greet some VIP guests. The party downstairs on the ground floor was lively, but Keir had arranged a quiet meeting with Eden on the second floor of Dave’s resort to keep things private from the Lycans’ Kingdom.It wasn’t safe for me to leave the Lycans’ Kingdom to meet Eden, so they invited him here. Dave, Keir’s childhood best friend, was helping us in every possible way. At first, I had found Dave a bit strange, but he turned out to be the most welcoming host I’d ever met.I tugged on Eden’s sleeve and looked up at him with pleading eyes. “When will you come to see me again, Brother?”Eden gently patted my head, his voice kind. “Very soon, Eli. I promise.”The thoughts of parting away from him was tormenting me from within. I

    "I was extremely busy, as you know," Keir said in a friendly tone, shrugging his shoulders. The young, cheerful guy with gray hair and a delicate, slender build quickly dismissed his other guests.As Keir approached, the other guy leaped forward, wrapping him in a tight hug. "Buddy! I’m so happy to see you! I feel like I’m going to cry. I thought you’d forgotten me already."Struggling to free himself from the guy’s grip, Keir groaned in annoyance. "I wish I could forget you. Why on earth did I even think of coming to your party?""Because you desperately needed my help and were practically begging for it," the guy replied without letting go of him.Leaning against the doorframe, Kyrell watched the scene with a wide grin, clearly enjoying Keir's irritated expression like it was the most entertaining thing he’d seen all day. I turned to Sasha, confused. She leaned closer to whisper, “They’re childhood friends, and he’s—”"My God! Who is this gorgeous lady?"Interrupting her, the cheerf

    “K-Keir!”My voice rose in surprise as I stared wordlessly at him, my heart was pounding rapidly. The glimmer in his emerald eyes sparkled like precious gems, stirring a whirlwind of emotions within me. I had missed him terribly, craving his presence during that long, lonely week. And now, as I finally stood before him, I could only gasp in astonishment.His gaze met my questioning eyes, and he gently took my hand in his. In his deep, teasing voice, he asked, “So? Did you miss me, Firefly?”A shy smile tugged at my lips, and warmth crept into my cheeks. Tucking a strand of my carefully styled hair behind my ear, I rolled my eyes and replied, “Humph! Why would I miss you?”Keir raised an eyebrow and pulled me a little closer, his tall figure leaning casually against the car. “You don’t look like someone who didn’t miss me,” he said, his tone playful. “Aren’t you happy to see me?”I looked up at him and replied quickly, “When did I say I wasn’t?”“Ah, so you’re so happy to see me that y

    “Hello, I can’t return tonight. Don’t wait for me.”Keir’s call that night caught me off guard. He wasn’t coming back, and I didn’t see him for the next six days. The silence in his cottage felt oppressive at times, even though my life there was comfortable. I had everything I could need—both luxuries and necessities.Two maids were always around, taking care of me, and I was free to move about. I could go to the training ground to practice or stroll in the gardens whenever I wanted. Sasha visited me almost every day, and we spent hours chatting. Sometimes, she even took me to cozy little cafés within the inner territory. In just one week, we became close friends.Eden and I talked daily using Sasha’s phone. From her, I learned that both Kyrell and Keir had gone on a confidential mission, and it might take some time before they returned. Despite the comforts around me, I felt like I was living a secluded life.---(A week later, at Keir’s private training ground)“Afternoon, Eliza.”S
