Florence's POV

I sat against the cold, damp stone, feeling the chill seeping through my clothes. Hunger pangs gnawed at my stomach. It had been seven long days in this place, surviving on a meager meal each day. However, the real challenge wasn't the physical discomfort but the silence that surrounded me. No messages or visits from Nicholas or anyone else, except for the maid—Lena who silently brought my food. The woman didn't even let her eyes land on me.

If there is one thing I am grateful for the past seven days here in the jail, it is for the brief 5-minute baths they allowed me three times this week, though it was under the watchful eye of a female guard in a bathroom devoid of a window, ventilation, or even a mirror.

Aware that my time here was limited, I couldn't help but wonder about the punishment Nicholas might be contemplating. I silently hoped for a quick death. Leaning against the cold stone wall, all I could do was wish that Nicholas would reconsider whatever pun

    Clifford interjected, "The video showed Sara with a male companion. Were you involved, and what explains her northward direction? Based on the traces, she seemed so sure about her destination." A small smile played on my lips. I knew Sara was a clever girl. "Yes, I instructed her to head north," I explained. "Though she could shift, she lacked proper training. I offered basic guidance for her and her wolf, directing her to my house to collect any necessities." That’s….” Gayle shakes her head, “Badass” Isaac remained unconvinced. "How can we be sure you're telling the truth?" "The CCTV footage from Madam Barbara's club can verify my story. The man who struck the deal with me visited on May 12th, around 9 pm." Nicholas's voice turned dark and dangerous. "Was he the one who marked your neck with those red lines that night?" I nodded curtly. "Yes." "Do you recall his name?" "Austin Bates. And..." I hesitated, "he's a member of the Mad Crest Pride." Clifford

    After a few hours, finally, sleep decided to visit me. I lay curled on the cold stone floor. But just as the edges of consciousness began to blur, a familiar scent pierced the stale air – a blend of cedarwood and sandalwood, a scent that sent a jolt through my body.Nicholas.I squeezed my eyes shut, willing it to be a figment of my tortured imagination. But the sound of approaching footsteps, heavy and deliberate, shattered the illusion. It was then his voice that confirmed it was not my imagination.“Are you asleep?”I opened my eyes and instantly sat upright, staring at him. “W-what are you doing here?” I asked, stunned.He stopped in the cell opposite mine, leaning to the bars. The clinking of the bottle held the only sound room. He sat on the floor casually clad in casual sweatpants and a t-shirt. My gaze landed on the bottle in his hand, half-empty and held with a loose grip."Couldn't sleep," he confessed, his voice tired, "Couldn't stop thinking."I bite my lip to stop the te

    The sound of approaching footsteps broke the suffocating silence of the cell. My heart leaped, hope forming in my chest. It has been 2 days since he visited me. Maybe it was Nicholas, maybe he'd finally come back for me. But as the figure rounded the corner, the overly sweet familiar scent, my breath hitched in my throat – Samantha. As if on cue, she materialized in jeans and a simple shirt paired with a pink blazer. "Samantha?" I croaked, my voice rusty from disuse. "What are you doing here?" She stood a few feet away, her face unreadable in the dim light coming from the lamp. "Visiting," she mumbled. A heavy silence descended upon us. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Samantha spoke again. "I’m sorry…..for how our mother abandoned you." I stared at her, speechless. An apology? From Samantha? Maybe my expression showed what I truly felt about her sudden apology because she continued. "I…" she began, then faltered. "I don't like you, Florence. I never have

    My head throbbed against the cold bars, a dull ache mirroring the one that had settled permanently in my chest. It's been three days since I received that letter from my father and that hollowness in my heart still lingers. Fatigue clung to me like a second skin, and peering at the face staring back from the bars, I barely recognized the woman with swollen eyes and lifeless hair. A metallic clang echoed through the corridor, jolting me from my weary daze. The heavy metal door groaned open, revealing an unfamiliar woman with red hair. She was new. The woman was oddly familiar. Ah right. She was the woman I saw in the hallway the night when the incident with Agares happened. The woman looked at me, meeting my eyes for a second before averting her gaze. Without a word or even a flicker of acknowledgment, she put a metal tray through the small gate at the base of the door. At least these days, I am now eating 3 times a day. I didn't know what happened but I was thankful for i

  • The Alpha King's Mistress   Chapter 125: Surprise Package

    Nicholas's POV The rising sun bathed the pack gates in a golden glow as I stood ramrod straight, eyes scanning the path ahead for any sign of the approaching vehicle. Today was the day the 'package' arrived. A shifter delivery man, I was expecting. Behind me, a line of trusted faces – Isaac, Gayle, Layla, Clifford, and some of our strongest warriors – stood resolute. The distant rumble of an engine shattered the morning silence, growing louder until a lone jeep materialized on the dusty road. A plume of red earth erupted as it braked to a halt just outside the gates. A frown creased my brow. No one emerged. "Open the door," I barked at the unseen driver. Seconds ticked by, agonizingly slow before a car door creaked open. The crunch of footsteps on gravel followed. I tensed, muscles coiled like a predator ready to spring. A figure emerged from the dust cloud, and the breath caught in my throat. Alpha Percival, the leader of the Silvermoon Pack, stood there, older than I r

    "That," he said, his voice low, "holds all the evidence Florence has gathered. The password is 253675." Intrigue gripped me. A password-protected briefcase? Florence was more cautious than I thought. "She shared all of this with you?" I questioned skeptically, examining the briefcase. "She left a note with passwords for all her things. She believed it would be beneficial for someone to open the safes and vaults after her death to reveal everything." My brows knitted together at the last part. "Quite forward-thinking," I said sharply instead. Percival leaned back in his chair, a contemplative gleam in his eyes. "Florence always planned ahead, but perhaps not this time. She trusted us. She was a smart, unassuming girl who just sought care from people. Keith took advantage of her. I'm ready to face the consequences, but I request leniency for my son. He was young and merely followed my orders." "Why take such a risk for Florence?" I couldn't help but inquire. "I see her

    Percival’s POV After spending a few hours in a spacious room, my son Quinn and I found ourselves trailing behind Isaac, the stoic Gamma of the Moonstone Pack, down a musty hallway that reeked of damp stone and urine. This dungeon was a far cry from what I was used to. "Wow, this place is positively charming," Quinn quipped, his voice bouncing off the stone walls. "Think they rent it out for children's birthday parties?" I sighed, choosing to ignore his sarcasm, hoping he'd rein it in. He tended to get flippant when he was annoyed. Thankfully, Isaac paid him no mind, his focus fixed on the path ahead. Earlier, he'd confiscated all our electronic devices and given us a thorough pat-down. "Remember," Isaac's voice, lacking any warmth, broke the tense silence, "the prisoner is off-limits. No physical contact. Any violation will be met with swift and severe consequences." I nodded, not surprised by the strict rules. A pang of worry gnawed at me. How would Florence react to s

    Florence's POV The days blurred together since my last conversation with Sonya and the encounter with Percival and Quinn. Each passing day was etched onto the rough stone wall, a makeshift calendar marking my time in this wretched prison. Five became six, then seven. Each tick felt like an eternity, my worry and concern mounting with each passing moment. Lost in my thoughts, I was startled by a sound I hadn't heard in days—the approaching footsteps. The creak of the rusty hinges filled the air. I braced myself, expecting the usual guards, perhaps even Nicholas himself. But the faces that greeted me were a surprise. Clifford stood at the forefront, his usually stoic expression tinged with an unfamiliar emotion. Beside him stood Isaac, his face inscrutable. But it was the two figures at the back that truly shocked me—Layla, her dark hair pulled back in a tight braid, and Gayle, her fierce eyes softened with something akin to regret. Shock rendered me speechless. What we

    Nicholas’s POV The air crackled with energy that buzzed right through me. It wasn't my own, though. Mine simmered low, a slow burn fueled by nervous excitement and a simmering pride. No, the nervous energy radiating like heat waves originated from the room itself, a collective held their breath as the music swelled and the double doors at the far end of the aisle creaked open. There she was. Lily. No, Florence. Not quite. Today, she was a vision in white, a goddess emerging from the sunlight streaming through the stained-glass windows. The years hadn't touched her, not a single cruel line etched onto that face that had haunted my dreams for so long. She is still that beautiful being in my eyes with her dark blonde hair and hazel eyes that were sparkling brightly at the moment. She was wearing a white gown and a white veil on her head while her hand was clasped on a bouquet made of Lily of the Valleys. I noticed a nervous tremor in the hand that gripped Percival's arm as his, a

    The salty breeze ruffled the pages of my book as I leaned back in the wicker chair, the sun already hidden, painting the sky with a darkness filled with stars. A contented sigh escaped my lips. It’s already been six months since Nicholas and I started over again which means dating for real like a normal couple. Both of us pushed our work stuff and it was one of the best decisions I made. Six months of travel, dates, adventures, and laughter-filled days. We'd tried everything from visiting ancient ruins in Greece to white-water rafting in New Zealand. Right now, we are in one of Nicholas's owned islands, perched beside me on the balcony of his secluded beach house, absorbed in his own book, a glass of amber whiskey swirling in his hand. I set my book down with a soft thud, the sound breaking the comfortable silence. "So, Nicholas," I began, his blue eyes locking onto mine as he glanced up. I directly asked the question that popped into my head, "Why are we still mates?" Surpris

    Soon after, the night had fallen, painting the sky a canvas of inky blue dotted with a million shimmering stars. Dressed in a stylish, midnight-hued dress that clung to my curves in all the right places, I emerged from the bathroom. A gasp escaped Charlotte's lips, and even Sara, usually so composed, let out a surprised whistle. "Wow, Lils," Charlotte breathed, her eyes wide with admiration. "You look incredible!" Sara, her phone clutched in her hand, held it up to my face. On the screen, a video call connected me to the familiar faces of Percival, Quinn, and his husband. "Hey guys!" I greeted them, my voice filled with a genuine smile. "There she is!” Quinn exclaimed, his booming laugh filling the room. “Hey, kiddo" boomed Percival's voice, "Our own famous artist" Quinn chimed in, "You look stunning, honey! We can't wait to see you smash this exhibition!" His husband, a kind-looking man with warm brown eyes, offered a shy smile and a wave. "Good luck," he mouthed si

    6 years later….. My fingers traced the worn frame of the photograph hanging on the plain white wall. A simple black-and-white capture: a lone tree silhouetted against a fiery sunset, its branches reaching out like gnarled fingers. It evoked emotions that felt like a lifetime ago, not the picture itself. "Just making sure, Lily," a soft voice broke through my reverie. "Tomorrow's the big day, you know. Your fifth exhibition and your first appearance." I chuckled, glancing to my left. A beautiful woman stood beside me. Her closely cropped hair, a riot of ebony curls, framed a face that, though small, held a radiant warmth. Her skin, a rich, warm brown, seemed to glow with an inner light. "Tenth time this week, wouldn't you say?" I asked. She grinned, a flash of white against her warm brown skin. "Maybe. But this is different. People are buzzing about you, Lily. The mysterious artist finally makes an appearance after four years." My gaze swept across the gallery, taking in

    Keith let out a cruel laugh. "I used all my strongest rogues to deal with the Lycans," he said, his voice dripping with satisfaction. "And your dear Nicholas... Well, let's just say he put up a good fight. The man was a monster indeed. His regenerating ability was remarkable" My gaze fell upon the jacket he wore, a small device embedded in one of the pockets like a dark eye staring back at me. "Is that the button?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. My eyes seem lifeless. Keith raised an eyebrow, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. He nodded curtly. "The button for the chips in the rogues? Yes. One press, and they all die a quick, painless death. Useful to threaten them to do something" My face was cold and unreadable as I turned to him, watching him light his cigarette. “Want some?” he offered. I reached for the cigarette he offered, lighting it. As I inhaled, a single thought echoed in my mind: everything had to end. “You know you need to cooperate with t

    Seizing the opportunity, I turned and ran, deeper into the dense darkness of the forest to the clearing. I can see it. I had made a choice, a terrible one that left me torn between self-preservation and the agonizing cost it had come at. But as I ran, I couldn't shake the image of Nicholas, wounded, facing the wrath of the rogues because of me. The burden of that decision would be a heavy one to bear, one that I knew I would bring to my death. Suddenly, a blur of fur shot out from my peripheral vision. I snapped my head around just in time to see another rogue, its red eyes zeroing in on me. I reached for the gun. But my hand met only empty air. “Huh, of course it is gone” I scoffed in annoyance. I flung myself aside, barely avoiding the snapping jaws of the beast. But the momentum of my dodge carried me off balance, sending me tumbling to the ground. As I lay there, sprawled, the rogue loomed above, its fetid breath washing over me. An instinct older than thought, deepe

    A glance in the rearview mirror confirmed five wolves, their sleek fur gleaming in the daylight, chased after me, led by the imposing figure of the black wolf. He was larger and faster than the rest, impossibly so, but I couldn't stop. They were so fast that our distance was just so small. “What the f*ck?”I cursed. Suddenly, the walkie-talkie crackled inside the car came to life, a very familiar voice cutting through the sound of the engine. I know it belongs to Keith Caldwell. "Hurry! Meet me at the cliff. I've set the GPS coordinates. I know you can hear me Florence. Hurry, if you want to finally escape and save your pack. It's just right as you are their Luna” I gritted my teeth. I am not surprised he already knew that Nicholas and I were mates. Taking deep breaths to regulate my emotions, I glanced at the GPS, memorizing the route, then opened the glove compartment seeing a grenade and a tear gas grenade. Without hesitation, I grabbed the tear gas grenade. “We should

    With a shriek of pain, my mother staggered back, releasing her hold. I gasped for air, collapsing onto the forest floor. As my vision cleared, I saw my mother clutching her face, a crimson stain blooming across her fingers. "How… How did you find me?" I rasped, my voice hoarse from lack of oxygen. "Olga," she spat, her voice laced with venom. "Keith and I made a deal. I’ll help him get the rogues in the borders in exchange for… getting rid of you." The revelation made my stomach churn. My mother had orchestrated my capture, colluding with the very threat she swore to protect the pack from. "I even gave her guard schedules," my mother continued, her voice dripping with vindictive satisfaction, "making sure the rogues wouldn't be stopped at the borders long enough… for you to be… eliminated. But I hate their plan. Keith wanted you alive but I wanted you gone so the attack was merely an excuse for me to kill you" My mind reeled. The woman who had birthed me, the woman who had

    I was shaking in anger as I asked, “Why are you doing this?” Olga just shrugged and a sadistic gaze glowed in her black and gold eyes, “Simply because I wanted for the line of the Lycans to end. We are living too long” I hold myself back from killing her. I still need her to find the way out. No matter how I wanted to help up there, I could only be of help to them if I killed Keith and got out of their lives. After all, everything happened because of me. “Enough chit-chat. Let's move now” Olga said. The urgency tightened its grip on my heart. I followed her silently, my steps light and quick trying my hardest to ignore the loud footsteps above and screams. After countless turns and twists, the staircase ended in a narrow tunnel. Without hesitation, we crawled through the cramped passage, the damp earth brushing against my skin. I was a little frustrated since Olga moved a little slower and honestly I am more concerned with how she was short of breath. Finally, after what
