(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 scent was still lingering in his mind as he groaned sleepily, ‘Who the hell was that? If I meet her again, I am gonna drag her here and keep her here until I am satisfied. Should I start-’
‘Knock! Knock!’
Closing his eyes, he almost fell asleep when a faint knock at the door woke him up. In an annoyed tone, he asked harshly, “Get lost. I am not meeting anyone right now.”
From the opposite side of the door, a jovial voice answered promptly, “Brother, I am coming in.”
“Ky! What are you doing here?” Keir asked sleepily.
Kyrell walked in and he dropped next to Keir as he replied, “We will leave for Auryn City tonight. Father has asked you to meet him before leaving.”
His voice held a rasp of excitement. His yellow eyes were brilliantly intelligent, gleamed like glossy volcanic rocks. Kyrall was only 21 years old; yet he was already a great warrior who used to be the part of all the secret missions along with Keir.
The pair of Keir and Kyrall were one of the strengths of the Night Walker Clan. Those two young Lycans were scared by the majority and were summoned as the ‘Dark pair’, ‘Chaotic brothers’ and ‘Night’s weapons’.
Keir opened his eyes with an irritated expression as he asked, “Auryn City? Why? I don’t want to go to the land of those low lives.”
Kyrell shrugged his shoulders and explained, “Father wants us to investigate the matter of 'slave trafficking’ personally. The number of illegal werewolf slaves is increasing with every passing day. If it continues, it will disrupt the peace between both lands and will be the main reason for a deadly battle in future.”
“So? We will win anyway,”Keir claimed arrogantly.
Kyrell chuckled softly while answering, “Of course, we will have to rule over those lowly wolves then. I don’t think that you will like it.”
“Never!” Keir protested promptly.
While laughing, Kyrell shrugged his shoulders, “See, I knew it. So, it is better to investigate this matter before it's too late. I will arrange everything for the mission. You don’t forget to meet Father.”
“Ugh! What a pain!’
Closing his eyes, Keir complained in a vague voice, before almost falling asleep, “Do I really have to go to Auryn? I just hate that city and those stinky wolves.”
Kyrell already got up from the bed. While walking towards the door, he assured in his excited tone, “Well, I heard that a grand rebirth party is happening tonight. I don’t think that it will be that boring for us.”
“Rebirth party!”
Keir murmured in his sleepy voice and suddenly he opened his eyes widely, realising something, “Will she be there? At that party?”

(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

“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

(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

(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
Scent of Desire Night with you-2
“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
Scent of Desire Night with you
(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
Scent of Desire All of you!
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
Scent of Desire Precious Gem
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
Scent of Desire I missed you too!
"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
Scent of Desire Miss me?
“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
Scent of Desire Suits you so well!
“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
Scent of Desire Ask him?
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 s
