(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

  • Scent of Desire    What's your name?

    “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

    Eden suggested hastily, “Don’t talk! Let me give you some water.”He passed me the glass of water as he asked worriedly, “How are you feeling now, Eli? Are you in pain? Is your head still hurting?”I felt a warm glow flow through me. I started to feel bad for causing him trouble. His dishevelled appearance, worried and exhausted expression and those dark circles under his eyes pinched my heart with a bittersweet feeling of affection.I felt a lump in my throat and tears slowly found their way down my cheeks. I bit my lips firmly to control my sobs but Eden’s gentle and caring voice kept on asking, more worried and scared than before, jumping up from his chair.“What happened, Eli? Are you in extreme pain? Tell me? Where are you hurting? Don’t cry! Aldus will be here in a minute. Is it hurting a-”A deep sobs slipped my lips as I mumbled in an incoherent voice, “S-sorry! S-sorry, brother. Did father scold you a lot because of me?”Eden paused for a moment and then, he asked in a puzzle

    “Let’s begin!”The staff of Paradise declared excitedly, distributing the cards between two fine gentlemen with an extremely dominating and powerful aura. Both of them were standing out in the crowds of the drunkard as they were sitting lazily in their place. I preferred to stand behind to avoid unnecessary attention but Keir pulled me next to him, “Stay next to me. I don’t want you to get lost in the crowd, My wealth.”I asked, frowning my brows a bit, “Your wealth? Really?”Keir chuckled softly as he teased me, suddenly pulling my chair closer to his, “Yes, really. You are the most precious one to me right now. I am betting you to win of course.”Rolling my eyes, I only mumbled in a threatening tone, “Don’t think that I will let you slip easily for your audacity.”My reaction seemed to amuse him. He smiled benignly as if dealing with a temperamental child, “I don’t even want to be slipped out of your thoughts, Firefly. Now be quiet and witness my skill.”However, I couldn’t really

    DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!”The crowd was cheering in chorus as we entered the vast hall of Paradise. Every inch of the hall was filled with gamblers. The reddish and bright lights of the hall made it look more intriguing. The strong scent of alcohol and thick smoke were lingering in the air.Weaving our path through the drunk and excited crowd when we walked forward, we noticed numerous tables of pokers. On a vast table in the middle of the room, a middle aged guy was standing and striping his clothes, one by one. He looked embarrassed but the crowd was cheering excitedly.I could see the back of the winner who was sitting lazily while counting his gold bars. The man in his undergarments asked in a low and trembling voice, on the verge of crying, “I have given everything that I had with me- my car, my gold chain, key of my house, my cards, all my money and even my clothes. Now let me go, Sir.”The healthy and bald guy stopped counting as he looked up and answered in his gruff and taunting

    “Stop! Stop here.”I suggested in a low whisper, checking my surroundings. Keir instantly stopped the bike, near the Starfall forest. The Red Light village was just at the end of the forest. Both Keir and I were wearing black cloaks to hide ourselves.Scanning the place, Keir asked, “We still didn’t reach the village. Why did you ask me to stop here?”Getting down from the bike, I answered while fixing my cloak, “We will walk from here, Mr. It is safe to hide the bike here so that we can find it in an emergency.” Chuckling softly, Keir followed me. I was walking through the narrow and muddy path of the village when he spoke again from behind, closing the distance between us, “Emergency? What kind of emergency, M’lady?”Without looking back, I directly took the main path to the village fair. The village looked very ordinary but not poor. The houses were mostly two-storeyed and colourfully decorated. On the balconies of the majority of houses, beautiful and tempting women in revealing

    ‘Damn! I shouldn’t be here.’I mumbled nervously while twisting the rose in my hand. It was almost late at night. When I received the note from Keir, I decided not to meet him. I didn’t want to disobey Eden. However, after dinner, I thought of taking a walk and instinctively, I found myself in front of the rose garden.The night felt colder than usual. While wrapping my arms around me, I scanned my surroundings. The faint, sweet fragrance of the roses intoxicated the air around me. The soft and cold breezes of the late night were playing through them, making a wild, rustling sound. There wasn’t any guard around me; neither any sign of Keir.Standing in front of the garden, I waited for a few seconds while enjoying the cool breezes, ‘Mmh! I better go back to my room and finish my novel.’ I murmured in a low whisper as I turned in the direction of my bedroom.Instantly, I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder, followed by a husky and magnetic voice, “Didn’t you like the pendant, M’lady?”“K

Why is it so dark h-’I mumbled in a dry voice. The next second, I recalled everything.I unlocked the door of my house and I instantly felt the presence of outsiders. I was ready to attack but Asher’s scream distracted me. I heard his loud and sudden cry, and I ran to his bedroom immediately. Surprising me, a short but bulky guy was standing there whose half face was covered with a black mask. He was holding Asher from behind, and his clawed hand was aimed at his tiny throat.“Stop where you are, Miss,” The intruder ordered sharply.Though I was glaring at him, he looked fearless and powerful. Instinctively, my eyes shifted on Asher’s teary and scared face. I asked, taking a step back, “Who are you? What do you want from me?”The guy signed me to kneel as he answered briefly, “You.

Otherwise, he always calls me and tries to talk.”Though her soft voice sounded confident, Lucas didn’t look convinced. His cold gaze scanned me swiftly as his cold and calm face relaxed a bit with an affectionate grin. I answered, looking up, “It seems that Lucas still enjoys being sarcastic.”Chuckling softly, Lucas greeted Alpha Kenneth as he took the seat next to Lady Rosemond. While sipping from the glass of his wine, he answered, “Sarcasm! My sister is going crazy for you, Keir. Shouldn’t you take better care of her?”“It is just work pressure. I hope that you are already aware of our sale’s condition. If I don’t work hard, how will I take care of your sister in the future?” I asked, raising my brows. The tension between us was so intense that everyone felt it.However, Lucy wrapped her arm around mine as she interrupted both of

    (POV of Keir Allen Walker)“Hello?”I received the call and Lucy’s annoyed voice echoed from the other side. She sounded quite angry as she asked impatiently, “Where are you, Keir? I have been waiting for you for the last 2 hours. When are you going to come?”Sighing secretly, I answered briefly, “I was stuck at work.”“Exactly, how long will it take you to arrive here? Everyone is waiting for you and you are giving me excuses now. Really?” Lucy complained furiously.I had no energy left to deal with her. She always used to give me a headache. It wasn’t easy to handle her personality. Surprisingly, my Lycan didn’t like her aura at all though she was my fated mate and we were engaged for the last five years.Lucy was my childhood sweetheart and we spent a lot of time together. I didn’t know why my Lycan still reacted like that. Was our relationship always bitter like this? I couldn't really recall my past that much.However, we played a lot together when we were kids.I asked after a l

    “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.

    ‘He needs me, really?’Staring at the sea bitterly, I thought to myself, “What does Dave want me to know? I was always madly in love with Keir. I was ready to sacrifice anything for him. What did I get in the end?”Tears trembled on my eyelids as I gulped down my sobs and tried to calm down my rapid heartbeats. I sensed an odd twinge of disappointment. The lonely silence of the deck was impossible to endure anymore.Still, I waited there for a little longer, leaning against the railings. The sky looked darker and nearer there than I usually get to see in my town. The sparking stars adorned the sky, making different designs on the sky. Still, the moon looked so lonely and outcasted. The soft breezes were tousling my hair as my restless heart calmed down slowly. I suddenly began to feel an intense urge to return home, to go back to Asher. Wiping the drops of tears from the corner of my eyes, I began to walk in the opposite direction in search of Keir.The crowd was mostly busy at the
