Tangled With The Fated Mates 18| Howl For Betaship
Denzel stopped in his tracks. He and Ezrianna exchanged curious looks. The knock came again. This time, it sounded persistent."Who's there?" Ezrianna said.Denzel did not wait for an answer. He opened the door, determined to face whatever or whoever lay ahead as he did. Standing in front of him with a nervous look on his face was Ronald. He must've masked his scent, so Denzel didn't pick it up instantly. While other werewolves gained popularity by being loud, brash, and overbearing, Ronald was more famous for being restrained and thoughtful. When he gave commands, it was with a particular kindness that endeared him to everybody. When Denzel saw him standing by the door, the fear that had begun to build up in his heart dissipated."Ahh, Ronald, it's just you," he said, taking a deep breath. "Relax, Ezrianna, it's only Ronald."Ezrianna approached the door, and she and Ronald exchanged knowing smiles."Hi there, Ronnie," she said to him, winking."Hi, Ezrianna," he replied.Denzel
Tangled With The Fated Mates 19| Shattered Reflection
Claudine's sleep was filled with wild dreams, tossing and turning like a ship in a storm. In one dream, she wandered through a dark forest with Lumos, her loyal companion. It was nearly evening, but the thick trees blocked most of the sunlight. Suddenly, she heard a mysterious giggle."Hello?" she called out, but there was only silence, no rustling leaves or chirping birds.As she walked on, the voice returned. Claudine saw a figure darting quickly to her right. Their eyes met, and the person's face lit up with mischief. She picked up her pace to follow.Getting closer, she reached out to touch the person, but it was just a tree. Perplexed, she stood in front of it, finger pressed against the rough bark.Then, a loud noise, like a door being slammed, jolted her awake."It was just a dream," she sighed. But the noise continued as if someone was trying to break in.Claudine sat up, rubbing her tired eyes. She gently massaged her temples, the throbbing slowly fading.Finally, the door c
Tangled With The Fated Mates 20| Duel For Betaship
Beneath the canopy of ancient oaks, the meeting grounds lay bathed in the silvery glow of the moon at its peak. Shafts of light pierced through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the forest floor. A crackling bonfire at the heart of the clearing sent sparks spiraling into the night.Amidst the hush of the woods, the haunting howls of distant wolves mingled with the soft murmurs of the gathered pack. The air was filled with anticipation.As Ronald stepped forward, his every footfall seemed to echo through the woods. His gaze met Denzel's with a determined glint, a silent plea for recognition."Alpha," Ronald's voice rang out, clear and unwavering."You know better than to interrupt these meetings. What do you want, Ron?" Denzel asked."Alpha, I stand before you, offering my loyalty and strength. I believe I am worthy of the beta position. Grant me this chance, and I shall serve you with unwavering devotion."Denzel's eyes swept over the pack members, searching for any hint of disap

"Claudine," the voice came again.This time, Claudine could tell who it was. It was Janey. There was something about her voice, though, deep and resounding, almost like it had morphed into that of a monster. Claudine felt herself shiver as the voice came again.Mrs. Zaynader stomped into the kitchen, and Claudine swivelled to look at the middle-aged woman who looked rather bewildered. She looked Claudine up and down, then her eyes rested on the girl's newly shaved head."I see Arielle has been doing the work of a barber quite impressively," she said, her lips curling up in a slick smile as she spoke.Claudine suddenly felt a wave of shame wash over her. Mrs. Zaynader was the first person, after Arielle, to see her with her shaved hair, and she felt embarrassed. Claudine cast her eyes on the tiled ground of the kitchen, her hands in front of her in a demure pose. Mrs. Zaynader heard her sniffle. She walked over to her."Claudine?" She said, her voice unusually calm."Yes, ma'am," Clau
Tangled With The Fated Mates 22| Wreckage Unleashed
Denzel's eyes darted from one corner to the other, and he sensed his rage intensify, mirroring an erupting volcano. A vintage sports car that had been his father's, which he rarely took out, had been battered, its windscreen broken, its sides dented. He hissed as he took a deep breath."Fuck," he said, increasingly becoming exasperated.The interior of the mansion was no better. Some of the windows had been shattered. He looked around and saw the chairs and tables upturned, the television lying flat. There was a deliberateness to it, and Denzel could tell, but this only aggravated him. And then, just as he took one more step into the house, he had a thought."Nira!" His eyes blazed with a combination of fear and anger.Usually, after the pack meetings, she would wait for him at the door to hand him a cup of coffee and smother him with kisses. But today was not the same. As he went up the steps quickly, feeling light in his legs and a bit worried, he wished that nothing terrible had
Tangled With The Fated Mates 23| Friends
After a while, Claudine began to accept her fate. It seemed that this was the path her life was meant to take. While at the orphanage, she and the other girls had ambitious dreams of being adopted by caring parents who would cherish her as if she were their own. Reflecting on this now, she couldn't help but find a hint of irony in those aspirations. It was time for Claudine to toughen up; after all, she wasn't a child anymore."How silly," she would say to herself.Given the chance, she would reunite with some of the girls from the orphanage and reveal that life beyond its walls was far more challenging than it appeared. At the orphanage home, she ate at least twice, but now, she struggled to eat and couldn't sleep well because her room was not conducive.Determined to break free from the weight of regrets, she immersed herself in action, starting with the cluttered room. With Arielle peacefully asleep and Mrs. Zaynader engrossed in household tasks, she grabbed some cleaning tools

Denzel provided Nira with the care and affection she needed, yet despite his support, she couldn't shake a lingering sense of impending doom. The following day, during breakfast, Denzel attempted to engage her in conversation, but she remained reticent, only picking at the food on her plate."Darling, come on," Denzel urged, his voice gentle. "Cheer up. An ugly incident happened, but it's time to put it behind us, right?"Nira emitted a sound that resembled a snort and a scoff simultaneously."Put it behind us, you say?" She paused, her gaze distant. "It's only been hours. I still have vivid flashes of Reid's vengeful face."Denzel sighed, acknowledging it might be too early for her to forget. A pang of empathy struck him every time he looked at Nira, seeing the lingering horror in her eyes."Nira, I know you're traumatized, and that's why I'll work my ass off to find that bastard and end him with my own hands. I'm sorry you had to go through all that."Nira clicked her tongue, her
Tangled With The Fated Mates 25| Ezrianna
Although the cabin was a comfortable space for her, Ezrianna often longed for the balmy conditions that could only be found in nature outside of the cabin. Her mother, herself a powerful witch, had once told her that a witch should never forsake her connections with nature, that a witch should ensure that she remained, in every way, tethered to the energies that bound the universe. And Ezrianna never forgot these nuggets of advice. She spent most nights in the clearing where she had met Claudine, picking flowers, listening to the trees whisper, and feeling her body imbued with the world's vitality.She had enjoyed the unexpected visit from Claudine, and it gladdened her heart that she had found a friend, for she so often got bored being alone all the time. After she saw Claudine off to her house, she went back to the clearing, packed her things and began on her way home.She usually walked slowly in the night; it was her favourite time. Something about it felt different: the clouds

Tangled With The Fated Mates 105: Our little wolves
As the full moon rose high in the night sky, the pack gathered in the heart of the forest, surrounded by towering trees that swayed gently in the breeze. The air vibrated with excitement and anticipation as they celebrated the ancient ritual of the Lunar Festival. A majestic bonfire crackled and danced in the center of the clearing, casting a warm, golden glow over the sea of faces. Ronald and Cordelia, hand in hand, mingled with the others, their joy infectious. Kris and Kate laughed and chatted with Mary, while the rest of the pack shared stories, played music, and danced under the starry canopy. Just as the festivities reached a crescendo, a murmur of welcome rippled through the crowd as Denzel and Claudine emerged from the darkness, their twin bundles of energy, Ember and Ash, perched on their hips. The twins' eyes sparkled like fireflies as they took in the vibrant scene, their chubby fists clinging to their parents' shoulders. Claudine smiled warmly, her eyes shining with hap

Claudine savored the warmth of her coffee, cradling the mug in her hands as she settled into the plush couch. The morning sunlight streaming through the window highlighted the dust motes dancing in the air, casting a serene ambiance over the living room. Her tranquil moment was short-lived, as the sound of tiny footsteps echoed from the hallway, growing louder with each passing second. Suddenly, Ember and Ash, her rambunctious three-year-old twins, burst into the room, their bright blue eyes sparkling with mischief. "Mommy!" they chimed in unison, launching themselves at Claudine. She opened her arms, embracing the chaos that came with her tiny tornados. Ember climbed onto Claudine's lap, spilling coffee everywhere, while Ash tugged at her hair, playing a game of "Mommy's hair salon." Toys scattered across the floor as the twins' energy infectiously spread throughout the room. Blocks, dolls, and crayons flew through the air, creating a colorful whirlwind. Claudine's coffee mug teet
Tangled With The Fated Mates 103: A happy beginning
Three years had passed since the battle-scarred days, and Claudine's world had transformed. Her home, once a sanctuary from the darkness, now resonated with laughter and joy. In the sun-drenched living room, her rambunctious twins, Ember and Ash, chased each other, their giggles echoing off the walls. Claudine sat on the couch, watching with a contented smile, her eyes shining with happiness. The room was filled with the warm scent of freshly baked cookies, wafting from the kitchen, where Denzel had spent the morning cooking up a storm. As she gazed out the window, Claudine's thoughts drifted to Ezrianna, remembering the sacrifices made for their freedom. Just then, Denzel entered, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled. He swooped behind Claudine, enveloping her in a gentle hug, his lips brushing against her ear. "Hey, love. Enjoying the chaos?" Claudine leaned into his warmth, feeling the tension melt away. "Every minute," she whispered, twisting to meet his lips in a tend
Tangled With The Fated Mates 102: Aftermath
Claudine's legs buckled as she reached Ezrianna's side, her body wracked with sobs. She gently cradled Ezrianna's lifeless form, holding her close as tears streamed down her face. "No, no, no... Ezrianna, please don't leave me," Claudine whispered, her voice trembling. Denzel approached, his eyes red-rimmed, and wrapped his arms around Claudine, holding her steadfast as she mourned. "She saved me, Denzel... She saved us all," Claudine stammered between sobs. Denzel's grip tightened, his own emotions barely contained. "We'll honor her memory, Claudine. We'll make sure her sacrifice isn't forgotten." Claudine's hold on Ezrianna's body tightened, as if unwilling to let go. "I couldn't protect her... I couldn't save her." Denzel's gentle voice countered, "You did everything you could, Claudine. Ezrianna knew that. She chose to give her life to save yours." Claudine's anguish only intensified, her cries echoing through the desolate landscape.Claudine's grief-boiled rage propelled her to
Tangled With The Fated Mates 101: Sacrifice for victory
Ezrianna and Lyra clashed, their magic swirling in a spectacular display, the air crackling with energy as they exchanged blows. The battle-scarred terrain around them bore witness to their relentless struggle, the earth scorched and smoldering from their clashing powers. Lyra summoned a maelstrom of dark tendrils, but Ezrianna countered with a burst of radiant light, the shadows recoiling before the purity of her magic. Undeterred, Lyra conjured a massive shadowy entity, its jaws wide open to devour Ezrianna, but the ancient magic surged through her, calling upon the land itself to aid her. The earth trembled, and a burst of stone and soil engulfed the entity, shattering it into nothingness. Lyra stumbled back, her eyes widening in desperation, her dark magic faltering.Ezrianna's eyes blazed with fury as she unleashed her devastating banshee scream, the sound wave crashing into Lyra like a physical force. Simultaneously, she channeled her ancient witch powers, summoning a maelstrom
Tangled With The Fated Mates 100: Battle ready
Reid strode through the mist-shrouded forest, his boots pounding against the earth as he returned to the Bluefur Pack's territory. The familiar scent of his pack's lands enveloped him, a calming balm after his prolonged absence. As he emerged from the trees, the pack's village came into view, its wooden structures bathed in the pale light of dawn. Reid's eyes swept across the gathering area, where his warriors awaited his return. With a nod, he signaled the start of their campaign against the Blackmoon Pack. His warriors, battle-hardened and loyal, fell into formation behind him. Reid's gaze burned with determination as he addressed his pack. "Today, we reclaim our honor and assert our dominance. The Blackmoon Pack will know our strength." His words were met with a chorus of growls and snarls, the warriors' eagerness palpable. Reid's transformation from werewolf to human was complete, his powerful physique and chiseled features now clad in battle-worn leather armor. "We march for Bl
Tangled With The Fated Mates 99: We'll be ready
Inside the warehouse, Denzel leaned over a large map of the territory, his finger tracing the borders. "We need to strengthen our defenses here, here, and here," he said, his voice firm. "Reid's been quiet for too long. We can't assume he's given up." Kris nodded, his eyes scanning the map. "I agree. We should also increase patrols and train more werewolves for combat." Jacob scribbled notes on a nearby chalkboard. "I'll work on strategizing patrol routes and scheduling training session. Let's move on to border reinforcements." Meanwhile, in a secluded clearing deep within the nearby forest, Ezrianna stood before a glowing crystal, her hands weaving intricate patterns in the air. Her eyes closed, focusing on the ancient magic coursing through her veins. "Astra, lignum, ignis," she whispered, conjuring a blazing sphere of light. The sphere danced before her, responding to her every gesture. Claudine's paws pounded the earth as she sprinted across the training grounds, her werewolf fo
Tangled With The Fated Mates 98: Away
As the moon dipped below the horizon, casting a dark shadow over Gettysburg's battle-scarred landscape, Reid and Elena prepared for the forbidden ritual. They stood within a circle of candles, their flickering flames dancing across the faces of the ancient tombstones. Elena's hands moved with deliberate precision, etching intricate symbols into the earth. Reid watched, his eyes burning with determination, as she poured a crimson liquid into the center of the circle. "The blood of the innocent," she whispered, "to awaken the Devouring Shadow." Reid's jaw clenched, his voice low and urgent. "Will this truly grant me the power I need?" Elena's gaze met his, her eyes grave. "The spell will tap into the underworld's darkness, channeling its energy into you. But remember, Reid, this power comes at a terrible cost. Your soul will be forever changed." Reid's resolve didn't waver. "I'll do whatever it takes to avenge Ariella. Let's begin." Elena nodded, producing a small, leather-bound book
Tangled With The Fated Mates 97: Whatever it takes (2)
Reid paced restlessly within his chambers, his mind racing with growing unease. Ariella should have returned by now. Something was amiss. His instincts screamed warnings, and his heart clenched with worry. He strode to the window, gazing out into the darkness, his eyes scanning the horizon as if willing Ariella to appear. Suddenly, he spun around, his fingers flying across the communication device. "Keeran," he growled, his voice low and urgent. His beta's voice crackled through the line. "Yes, alpha?" "Has Ariella returned?" Reid demanded, his patience fraying. Keeran's hesitation was palpable. "No, my lord. There's been no sign of her." Reid's grip on the device tightened, his knuckles whitening. "Find out what's happened," he snarled, his voice dripping with menace. "Now." The line went dead, and Reid's eyes burned with a fierce determination. He would uncover the truth, no matter the cost. Ariella's safety was paramount, and he would stop at nothing to ensure her return.After a
