Hades, The blood took its lazy time to drip off my fingers, thick and sluggish, as if reluctant to part from my skin. The scent of iron, sharp and overpowering, filled the air, mingling with the damp stench of the dungeon. A normal person would have gagged, their stomach twisting in protest at the carnage, but for me, the sensation was intoxicating. A slow grin spread across my lips as I stared down at the pathetic excuse of a man before me. His body trembled, weak and broken, yet his lips remained stubbornly sealed. Fool. I admired his resilience—briefly. Soon, he would learn that in my presence, silence was a luxury he could not afford. "You are a stubborn one," I mused, dragging a bloodstained chair across the stone floor. The sound screeched through the darkness, sending an involuntary shiver through his battered frame. The sight was almost amusing. "I like it." I dropped into the chair, crossing one leg over the other, my crimson eyes gleaming like a predator savoring
She stumbled onto her bed as my steps grew faster toward her. There was something about her—her scent, her eyes, and her… hot features. My desire to touch her smooth legs, bite her lips, and strangle her until she cried felt so strong. My eyes glowed in this dimly lit room, Knox perfectly in sync with my thoughts of claiming her right away. I felt struck—I felt lost in her beautiful eyes. She looked taken aback. She was scared. That look satisfied me. They said she was deadly. I loved when strong people showed vulnerability in front of me. My hand almost reached her face, the scent growing thicker and more aphrodisiac. My body nearly reacted strangely to her scent until— “Hades?” Her cold, honey-dripping voice cut through my daze, my nearly lost mind. Knox purred louder when she called my name. This was the first time someone had called my first name. Even my family didn’t dare. “It’s been a while.” I composed myself. Her voice felt like a sweet hangover soup, slapping me
Elysia -The tension in the room thickened like storm clouds before a downpour. Hades stood before me, broad and commanding, his crimson eyes burning with something possessive, something dangerous. But what he said next made my breath hitch—only for a moment before I masked it behind indifference. A slow smirk curled on my lips, though my chest tightened with something sharp and bitter. Fate is cruel. I folded my arms, tilting my head. "You want me to help you find her just so you can reject her?" Hades’s gaze didn’t waver. "Yes." The words hit harder than I expected, but I refused to let it show. Instead, I let out a soft chuckle, shaking my head. "You’re serious?" "Completely." I took a step forward, deliberately slow, watching him, studying him. His body tensed subtly, his wolf on alert. He doesn’t even realize, does he? "You don’t even know who she is," I murmured, my voice dipping into something amused, taunting. "And yet, you’ve already decided to throw her away?"
Gamma Celeriac, "Master! Xavier is here!" Aurora, my lifelong companion and one of the most trusted individuals by my side, entered the room with her usual grace. Behind her, a man followed—his aura alone enough to shift the air in the chamber. Xavier Hunter. My right hand. His imposing figure moved with calculated precision, his dark eyes sharp and unreadable. He carried an air of authority, his features impassive as always. The faintest hint of tension clung to his posture, but only someone who knew him well—like me—would notice it. "Master," he greeted, his voice a steady, controlled monotone. "It’s been a while." I stood before the massive window, my gaze fixed on the view outside. The world appeared serene, bathed in soft, golden hues, yet the peace was nothing more than an illusion. Beneath that calm surface, we all knew the truth—this world had long since become a twisted version of what it was meant to be. A mockery of balance. "Sit down, Xavier," I instructed, no
Elysia - Caroline Smith wailed behind me as I walked past the Moonlit garden of Alpha Residence. The Main Packhouse was crowded with people. However, her little tantrum seemed to have gotten everyone's attention. How did I end up here? I wondered. Half an hour ago, The golden chandeliers of the Alpha Residence cast an ethereal glow over the grand hall, illuminating the swirling silks and velvets of noblewomen as they paraded through the celebration. Voices melded together in a chorus of pleasantries, political maneuvering hidden beneath layers of forced smiles and practiced courtesies. I moved through the crowd with quiet precision, my military uniform a stark contrast against the soft pastels and embroidered finery. Whispers followed in my wake, some admiring, others envious. But none of it mattered. I was used to it. After being Luna of this Pack, the period of my ruling taught me a lot including people's distinctive jealousy towards me. However, today I was here not as
Hades Wraithborn was supposed to meet me before coming here. But he didn’t. Not that I expected him to. He was a man of ill repute, notorious for his ruthlessness. It was only natural. Yet, as Jonathan’s voice echoed through the grand hallway, I felt numb. The past crept into my mind like an old, dust-covered film reel spinning to life, playing memories I wished to forget. "What did you do to her?" Jonathan’s voice thundered through the hall as he rushed to Carolina’s side. Her frail form crumpled against him, her sobs delicate yet deliberate. "I’m sorry, Jonathan! It’s all my fault! I should have understood that only a strong woman could be Luna. I just… I just wanted her to be a little kinder to me!" Her voice wavered, high and childlike, an affectation that sent an uncomfortable shiver down my spine. I wasn’t sure how others felt, but I could barely suppress my disgust. A grown woman speaking like an innocent child was nothing short of nauseating. "How dare you!" Jonath
The hall shimmered with golden chandeliers and the chatter of high-ranking officials. Their laughter and celebratory toasts filled the air, drowning out the memories of blood and battle. I stood at the entrance, cradling my swollen belly, my eyes hollow and dark. A blood-stained necklace dangled from my hand, the cold metal biting into my palm. “I am the Gamma’s daughter,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the clinking of glasses. My shaky body moved forward, through the crowd, the cold path beneath my feet leading me to the man at the center, laughing with pride and ego. My voice grew louder with each step. “A frontliner, a commander, and the daughter of Gamma Celeriac, who gave his life protecting this pack!” The room fell silent. All eyes turned to me, the Luna of the Moonlit Silver Wolf Pack. I could see the concern in their eyes as they took in my appearance, the once adored Luna now in her worst situation. “Elysia,” Alpha Jonathan Hornet called, his voice laced w
At the age of 12, I was blessed with my Wolf, unlike most kids. At 13, I held my claws against the Commander's neck. By 16, I had already graduated early from College in defense and was promoted to a Warrior in my father's team. At 18, I was a commander, frontliner, and healer with my Wolf.At 19, I had yet to meet my mate. For seven years, I waited for him, but I didn’t find him. Before my 20th birthday, I was invited to the Late Alpha's birthday banquet as an honorable guest, and there I met Jonathan, the man who was a heartthrob to every woman in our pack.From that day on, my life revolved around him. I was assigned as his personal assistant, mostly like a Beta, helping him with everything. Since my father, Gamma Celeriac, was leading the wars and other military matters, I was asked by Alpha to accompany the soon-to-be Alpha in making every important decision.My love for him grew, and so did my blindness. There were red flags about him that made me uncomfortable—his obsession wit

Dad’s words struck like a thunderclap, sending a jolt through my body. My breath hitched as disbelief took hold. "How did you know?" I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper as I tilted my head, searching his expression for answers. His gaze darkened, the warmth in his eyes fading into something unreadable. His jaw tightened, tension carved into the sharp line of his features. Then, without a word, he reached out, his thumb brushing gently against my cheek, wiping away a trace of moisture I hadn’t realized was there. "You’re still just a child." His voice was soft, almost fond, yet distant, as if weighed down by something unseen. "Dad!" I protested, a frustrated grunt escaping me. "I’m not lying—" "You aren’t." His response was immediate, steady. "I trust you." I blinked, caught off guard by the certainty in his tone. But before I could say another word, he sat back down, his expression grim, unreadable. "Dad believes you," he repeated, then shifted his gaze toward Gr
The air hung thick with tension the moment my words settled in. Dad's expression shifted, his feature darkening with intensity that it sent a chill down my spine. His sharp eyes, piercing and unyielding, locked onto mine, searching, dissecting- seeking the slightest trace of lie. His well-composed feature stirred into the chair before a measured breathe escaped from him. His eerily calm eyes shifted to the cup before him. " Cupcake!" His voice carried a gravity of coldness that I barely witnessed before, yet there was the trace of warmth like usual. " Are you jesting?" He asked at last, though there was no trace of humor in his tone. His eyes were gleaming dangerously and unreadable. " I am not!" My voice was steady and unhinged. I didn't waver when I locked my eyes onto him as I sat properly, " Dad! Believe or not -!" I drew a sharp breath, my chest rose, " I have died once before, So have you." A charged silence fell upon us, sending a chill as a reminder of something unfold
The deeper I followed my father into the labyrinthine halls of this ethereal manor, the more the world I once knew crumbled into mere fragments of memory. This was no place of the twenty-first century—no, it was a realm lost in time, where the past and the mystical wove together like threads in an eternal tapestry. Towering marble columns lined the corridors, each carved with ancient glyphs that shimmered faintly under the golden glow of enchanted sconces. The very air carried a strange resonance, as if it pulsed with a heartbeat of its own. My breath hitched when my gaze fell upon the grand garden sprawled beyond an arched glass doorway. It wasn’t simply beautiful—it was transcendent. I had read of such places in the fairytales my mother once whispered to me at night, but no words could capture the sheer majesty of what lay before me. Flowers that gleamed like crystalline gems swayed in a slow, rhythmic dance, their iridescent petals catching the cascading sunlight as though wo
