2024-10-15 15:00:53‘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 sentence. Tears began to roll down from my eyes. It was the biggest lie of my life which I repeated to myself for the last 5 years. But, that day when I saw him again, lying next to me, I realised that I was still a fool to love my greatest enemy who destroyed my entire family, and my happiness and even wiped out my existence.
‘Beeepppp!’
The loud sound of the car's horn interrupted my train of thought as I heard Issac’s voice from behind, “Lily, get inside the car.”
“Huh?”
“Hurry! Get inside the car,” Issac repeated his words impatiently. I was puzzled, frustrated and in misery. Somehow I threw my heavy and numb body inside the car. I could hear Issac’s concerned and blurred voice, asking me numerous questions.
However, leaning against the window glass, I just closed my eyes and surrendered to my tormented emotions and aching heart.
‘Those happy days! I wish I could just go back 5 years ago and fix all my mistakes. I wish we had never met before, Keir…’

(5 years ago)
(Golden Heart Pack House, Auryn)
[POV of Eliza Claire Gold when she was 19 years old]
“Eliza! Wake up already!”
My beautiful morning dream was spoiled by the sharp voice of Aunt Christi. While opening the huge curtains of the bedside window, she began her usual lecture, “Eliza, today is an important day of your life. How can you just keep sleeping till now? Do you know how late it is? Guests have already started arriving and here you are. Still sleeping!!”
I groaned in my sleepy voice, “5 more minutes, Aunt!”
“No, leave your bed right now, Eliza,” Aunt Chirsti sat on my bed as she added while running her fingers gently through my messy hair, “Alpha is very excited about tonight’s party. He has ordered everyone strictly that this party must be the most luxurious and perfect one. I hope that you will not like to disappoint him.”
My body was aching due to my first transformation of the previous night. It felt like all my energy was drained suddenly. Still, I slipped out of my cosy bed while rubbing my sleepy eyes as I complained, pouting, “I hate social events, Aunt. Can’t I just skip it?”
“Ladyy! How can you skip your own rebirth party? This party is for celebrating your first transformation and you don’t want to join. Seriously?”
I nodded my head, sighing, “Yup, I feel uncomfortable in the crowd.” While stretching my body, I whined painfully, “My body is hurting so badly, Aunt. I don’t even think that I can leave my bed to-”
“STOP TALKING ALREADY!”
Aunt Christi yelled, pushing me inside the washroom, “Hurry and freshen up, Eliza. I am preparing your dress.”
“Aghh! My life is so difficult.”
I stomped inside the washroom while murmuring annoyedly. I turned on the shower and instantly, warm water began to wash away all my exhaustion.
I could still hear Aunt’s voice, “Your life can’t be more difficult than mine. No job is more difficult than taking care of you two.”
I giggled playfully as I commented, “Don’t spread rumours, Aunt. I am an obedient lady. I never cause you trouble.”
“Of course. After all, you are the trouble yourself.”
—-
Though Aunt Christi was very strict with me, she always showered me with affection and care. When I was only 6, my mother passed away and from then, my Aunt looked after me and Eden, my elder brother.
Eden was a perfect lad though. He was studious with an intellectual and calm personality and possessed that perfect, dominating aura of an Alpha. Our pack members were quite satisfied, realising that our pack’s future was in secure hands.
However, my father, Alpha Edward, loved both of us immensely.
Eden and I grew up, getting the same kind of teachings and training. Though I was the rebellious one who always caused them trouble, they still loved me immensely. My life was just perfect as the little princess of the Golden Heart pack.
Until that day of my rebirth party…
IshabellaHope you all are enjoying the story. The book is going to be a real roller coaster of emotions and affection. Keep reading to be a part of Eliza's life. Don't forget to drop your precious comments.

“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 when she was still 19 years old)The sparkling stars filled the dark sky of the night. The full moon looked like a graceful queen, ruling over those diamond-like stars as its silvery light wrapped everything like a thin blanket.While walking through our porch, I headed to our flower fields which was my favourite spot to calm myself down. After meeting Aldus, I was feeling so restless that I needed some time to calm down before I could go back to the party.Eden allowed me to take a walk on our porch for only 10 minutes and he returned to the hall. Flowers carpeted the field below me, blooming as far as the eyes could see. My eyes searched for a spot where the flowers were thin and I sat down there, looking at the sky. It was like sinking into a fantasy world. I always felt that the flowers were so large and much more beautiful when sitting among them.Numerous fireflies began to approach me while flying around me as if I were their sole purpose of living.

My face instantly clouded with uneasiness. I felt a momentary panic as I almost jumped away from him. Though he let me go instantly, he still looked playful and nonchalant as if he wasn’t scared of anyone.The confidence and arrogance in his rigid profile were noticeable even in the dim light of the moon. Surely, he was neither a stalker nor an ordinary person. I mumbled in a low whisper, “Leave fast! My brother is coming.”“So, your name is Eli? Are you going to join this pack?”That stranger asked in his nonchalant tone, tucking both of his hands behind his head and lying down in a more comfortable position on the flower bed.Sighing loudly, I jumped on my feet as I growled under my breath while dusting my gorgeous gown, “It seems that you have a very short life. What a weird person you are!”Without waiting for his answer, I shouted while running towards Eden hastily, “Here, I am.”I heard his soft voice from behind, “Firefly, we will meet soon. This time I will-”‘He will?’I coul

“Come inside, Eliza.”Father’s harsh voice declared from the opposite side of the door . It looked like a very confidential issue as two pairs of guards were stopping everyone from entering the study room. Murphy tagged alone with me but he was stopped outside. I noticed our Beta who was waiting outside the room.When I entered, I noticed that Alpha Edward and Eden were sitting at the tea table with grave faces while listening to something very attentively. Two strangers; one in inky black tuxedo and another in casual attire were sitting, facing their back at me. However, they neither looked like invaders nor were they treated as criminals.The moment Father noticed me, he stated with his big affectionate smile, “Eli, meet our special guests. They are going to live in our guesthouse for a few days.”‘Guest!’I looked at Eden with a puzzled expression. But before I could react, both of them stood up and greeted me warmly. They had different facial features but both of them had somehow

(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 Are u in?
(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
Scent of Desire Don't leave!
“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
Scent of Desire Mate?
“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
Scent of Desire Movie night!
“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
Scent of Desire That's Rubbish!
“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
Scent of Desire Feeling Is quite mutual!
‘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
Scent of Desire Glad to see you again
“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. You just have to-”Keir’s voice was trembling
