STARLETTE

I had truly hoped this would work; we all did. But despite our best efforts, we were outmanoeuvred by the very person we sought. Despite our plan, he was one step ahead of us. And when did he even enter the park? The thought of that was troubling. He knew where we lived and could strike whenever he pleased. But we knew nothing about his whereabouts or what his mission really entailed. If we don’t act faster and smarter, it was only a matter of time before he succeeded.

My gaze settled on the dozens of men before us. “What would we do with them now?”

“Kill them. They are all useless.” Maximus unsheathed his sword and was about to lunge towards them. But I held him back.

“Max.” I called after him. “They could still be useful.”

He paused and thought it over. “Okay. Warriors. Take turns guarding them. Tom, you’re in charge.”

My gaze shifted to Lucius, who was still unconscious on the floor. "Please, some of you should take him to the hospital.”

I couldn’t help but wonder when he

    MAXIMUSWhatever truth she intended to reveal, I wasn’t sure I was ready to hear it. I dreaded the possibility that that pup might not be mine. After years of hoping, it had felt as if my wish had finally come true—only to risk being taken away from me again. The truth terrified me, but I couldn’t avoid it; I had to face it.Folding my arms across my chest, I asked. “What do you have to say?”“The warrior you killed—Jeremiah—was my mate.” She admitted. Before I could say anything, she continued. “But he is not the father of my baby. I only met him after I had conceived, but I couldn’t tell anyone. I tried to stay away from him.”“That doesn’t seem like it!” I growled, rage building up within me. I hated her with everything in me.“What would you have had me do when you neglected me?” She shot back. “I was bored, frustrated, and depressed. I didn’t have anyone to talk to. That was why I started entertaining him.” She burst into tears. “Max, please believe me. I am not lying. The baby i

    LUCIUSI opened my eyes to find Amelia by my side. Thinking I might be dreaming, I closed my eyes briefly, trying to erase her image from my mind. But when I looked again, she was still there, her beautiful face warming my heart. The scent of honey and cinnamon drifted to me, soothing and comforting. I loved this feeling, yet at the same time, I was confused. What was she doing here? In my room?A wide smile spread across her lips. “You are awake.”“What are you doing here?” I voiced out my thoughts.“I was just making sure you are okay. But since you are awake, I’ll take my leave now.” She stood up and turned to leave, but I quickly stopped her.“No. Don’t leave. Not yet.” I muttered. She turned to look at me, her wide green eyes mesmerising me. “How was it? Were you able to trace the magic?”She shook her head disappointedly. “Gabriel was one step ahead of us. He altered the spell and made it that the invisibles’ magic would seize to exist the second they step into the circle.”“Dam

    STARLETTEMaximus was the most handsome man I’d ever seen, even while he was asleep. He looked so sexy, laying only in his briefs, the sight of his toned muscles making me wet. Surprisingly, I woke up before him this morning. I figured he must be exhausted—after everything that happened yesterday, he still had to go back to his office to work. I’d already fallen asleep before he came to bed.His eyes shot open, and a smile spread across his lips. “Good morning, love.”I leaned in and kissed him on his cheek. “Good morning, Max. Slept good?”He nodded. “And you?”“Yes.” I muttered softly.A mischievous smile crept onto his face, and I knew immediately he was up to something. He sat up, his hands sliding to my waist, lifting me smoothly onto his lap.“Max!” I gasped, laughter bubbling out of me.He grinned and brought his lips close to mine. “You don’t just kiss me on the cheek, woman. I want everything.” He captured my lips in a gentle, slow kiss. Heat rushed through my body, and I f

    MAXIMUS“Well, good evening, Alpha.” Silas greeted.“Good evening. Why are you calling?” I asked gruffly.He cleared his throat. "It has come to my attention that your pack has been under frequent attacks lately by certain invisibles, and you’ve been unable to stop them."“You shouldn’t have to worry about my pack, Alpha. Worry about yours.” I spat.“I have every reason to worry about these attacks, because once they are finally successful, they’d take over the whole of North. Which region do you think they’ll target next? The south. That’s why we have to work together to get rid of them for good.”"Focus on your own pack," I insisted. I wasn’t about to give him a chance to infiltrate mine; that’s exactly what he was after. He didn’t give a damn about the North.“What if I told you that I know how to catch them?” He pressed.He had my attention now. “How?”“I’ll tell you in person. When would you be available to meet?” He asked.“Tomorrow. My Luna’s coronation ceremony is tomorrow eve

    STARLETTEI followed Lucius and Amelia, calling after them. “Lucius. Amelia.”They stopped and turned to look at me at the same time. I cast my gaze downward, noticing their linked hands. “Explain.”“Explain what? Amelia asked. She knew exactly what I was talking about.“Both of you. Why the sudden closeness?” My eyes narrowed as I put forward my suspicion. “Are you guys… mates?”Silence ensued, and they averted their gazes, looking everywhere but me. And that gave me my answer. “Oh, my.” I gasped, finding it hard to believe. “Since when?”Luicius cleared his through. “When the invisibles attacked. Just after I got my wolf.”“We’ll talk about you getting your wolf later. But... first…” I opened my arms wide and hugged them both at the same time. “Congratulations. I am so happy for you guys.” I was confused but happy for them regardless.“Thank you.” They muttered in chorus.“But…” My brows furrowed as I tried to make sense of the situation. “How is it possible? You are a witch, and he

    STARLETTEThe traditional robe laid out on the bed was pristine white, symbolising purity. It was the same robe worn by Maximus' mother and countless Lunas before her. Today, it would be mine. And after I took my oath, I would wear the crown that every Luna before me had worn with pride."I can't believe this is finally happening," Bella beamed, her eyes sparkling as she took in the sight of the majestic robe on the bed. She turned to me with a radiant smile, prancing over and resting her hands on my shoulders. "You're going to be a perfect Luna."“Thank you, Bella.” I blushed as I looked at my reflection through the mirror. The makeup artist did a really great job on my face. The hairstylist also. My hair swept up in a tight bun, and I couldn’t help but imagine how beautiful the crown would look on it. Bella straightened up, giving my back a light pat. "Alright, get up. Let's get you dressed—the ceremony is about to start."I took a final glance at my reflection, then rose and follo

    MAXIMUS My gaze darted back at Starlette, and I leaned close to her ear. “I’ll be right back.”Her eyes widened, curiousity coursing through them, but she didn’t question me. “Okay.”With that, I quickly stepped away and headed toward Amelia.“Gabriel.” Amelia breathed once I was standing in front of her, and my stomach tightened. I cast a wary look around, noting the people nearby. I couldn’t engage in a conversation with her here; else people would think their Alpha had gone crazy.“Follow me.” I said as I began to walk. I didn’t stop until I got to a secluded area, far from the ceremony.“What happened?” I quickly asked, searching her face for answers.“He was here. I felt his presence. Briefly. I can’t feel it anymore, though. But he was here, Maximus.”“That bastard!” My jaw clenched. “What about the spy you were looking for? Any leads?”She shook her head. “No leads at all.”Frustration bit at my insides. “Then search harder! If truly you saw someone, they have to be here. Eve

    STARLETTEThe moment Maximus reached us, he pulled me to his side, his arm tightening around my waist with a possessive grip. His gaze held a steely edge as he glared at Silas, who only smirked in response, as if he hadn’t just been shamelessly flirting with me.“Good evening, Alpha,” Silas greeted, sounding almost amused.“Good evening,” Maximus replied, his voice strained and his jaw muscles visibly tensed. “I thought you weren’t going to make it.”Silas gave a casual shrug. “I encountered some unexpected delays.” He spread his arms wide in a grand gesture. “But here I am. I knew how important this meeting was, so I had to make sure I attended.” He glanced at me, “Would you keep my Luna company while I discuss with him?”Just then, a red-haired woman appeared by Silas’s side. Freckles dotted her face, giving her a delicate look. I raised an eyebrow as I took in the scene. Silas had dared to flirt with me while his own Luna was nearby. The audacity was astounding.“Good evening,” she

    VIOLETWho the hell did Axel think he was? He couldn’t just abandon me here while I was unconscious, mess around with Indie, and suddenly show up after I had woken up. What was his aim? To deceive me even more? I never wanted to see him ever again.“What is this boy doing here?!” Father growled when he saw him. “I never want to see you near my daughter. Haven’t I made that clear?”Ignoring Father, Axel focused his attention on me and continued to proceed into the room. “Violet, I—”I didn’t allow him to complete the sentence before cutting him off. “You heard my father. Leave now. I don’t ever want to see you near me. I don’t ever want to see you.”“Violet, please,” he breathed.“You heard her.” Emmett stood up from where he was and marched toward Axel. “You heard her. Leave, now!”“And who are you to tell me what to do?” Axel groaned, glaring at Emmett.“Do not allow me to push you out. Leave this room while we are still being civil,” Emmett retorted.Axel glanced at me before lookin

    AXEL"What?" I narrowed my eyes, trying to process Indie’s words. "What do you mean it was all Lila’s plan?" “She...” She ran her fingers through her hair, breathing heavily. “The attack on Violet, the mate scent you perceive—it was all planned. She wanted to be able to control you using the fake mate bond so you could lead us to where the documents are hidden.” I shook my head slightly. “I still don’t understand you.” “In order to imitate the mate bond using magic, your real mate had to be put down temporarily. So Lila devised a plan to trap Violet somewhere until she got what she wanted. The attack was nothing but a diversion, meant to make everyone believe it was a wolf attack instead of a witch’s doing. Afterward, she performed the magic that made me emit a scent strong enough to deceive your senses, making you believe I was your mate. She manipulated your instincts so you would be desperate to mark me and, in turn, do anything I asked of you.” She looked me in the eyes as

    VIOLETMy whole being was consumed by fear. Fear of losing my father to that battle, fear of losing my wolf, fear of being trapped in here forever with no way of getting out. I had long since stopped trying to find an exit since it seemed like I was running through the same path over and over again. “Onyx,” I called my wolf again, hoping that miraculously, she would respond this time. But I was met with the same silence. I lay on my back, shutting my eyes as I tried to sleep my devastating reality away. I did sleep, but I didn’t know for how long before I suddenly felt the scorching heat of the sun hitting my face. I snapped my eyes open to see that the white walls surrounding me had been replaced by a garden of beautiful flowers. I quickly sat up, scanning my surroundings. And then I saw a white door at the far end of the garden. Without thinking twice, I picked myself up and ran with everything in me toward the white door and yanked it open. I woke up in a hospital.

    VIOLETBeep. Beep. Beep. A repetitive beeping sound jolted me awake. My eyes fluttered open, and I found myself lying in a narrow passage, surrounded by tall white walls stretching endlessly in both directions. My breath hitched as I took in what I was wearing—a flowing white maxi dress. Where was I? Panic set in as I tried to reach out to my wolf, Onyx, but she wasn’t responding. Not because she didn’t want to, but because she just wasn’t there. My heart began to beat rapidly against my chest as I quickly picked myself up. The last thing I remembered, I was swimming in the lake when I was attacked by a wolf. A sickening thought crossed my mind, and my stomach tightened. Was I dead? Without hesitation, I began to run down the passageway, desperate to find an exit. But as I reached the end, I turned a corner, only to find another identical hallway stretching before me. The tall white walls—everything was the same. I kept running, taking turn after turn, hoping to find an esca

    AXELAlthough Orion didn’t want to admit it, every ounce of my body felt the mate bond. How was this possible? How could I have two mates? I grabbed Indie’s hand and pulled her outside with me to give us more privacy. “But I already have a mate. Violet.” I said once we were outside. Staring into her eyes made my body burn with desire, and I wanted nothing more than to kiss her and every part of her body at that moment. Without thinking twice, I caged my arm around her and leaned in for a rough, desperate kiss. She hesitated at first, but she eventually gave in, kissing me in return. “I want to mark you. I want all of you,” I growled lowly as I plastered kisses all over her neck. “I want you too, Axel. I want you so much!” she moaned, pressing her body into mine. My cock was rock hard, eager to push every inch into her. Pulling away, I looked into her eyes again, admiring her. “I never knew you were this beautiful, Indie. How did I not see this?” “I don’t know,” she s

    AXEL“Hi, Dad,” I said into the phone as I picked up. “What’s the update?” “I spoke with Silas, but he doesn’t know where she is, so...” “What has Silas got to do with this Lila witch?” I interrupted. He sighed. “She used to be under his wings, sort of his personal witch,” he explained. Violet had mentioned something like that earlier. “What’s the way forward now? Do you trust him not to know her whereabouts?” I asked. “Yes. Your aunt Amelia confirmed that. And she also plans to perform a location spell for Lila together with her father, the witches’ clan elder,” he said. “The girls are cloaked, so I’m sure she’s cloaked herself too,” I pointed out. “We know that. Amelia plans to break through that cloak.” “What?!” I exclaimed, shocked. “She could lose control of her magic if she attempts a spell that powerful!” “I am also worried about her, but she insists on doing it before more girls get abducted,” he told me. Before I could respond, a muffled sound caught my

I meant... Emily. She’s blocking me out of her mind. I guess Alpha Richard finally taught her how to do that.” “Then why am I the one against the wall when the person who is frustrating you is over there?” I glanced in Emily’s direction to see her staring daggers at me. Alpha Richard also looked like he was about to explode with anger. “I—uhm—” He pressed his lips together and pulled away from me. “I am sorry.” “I think you are in trouble,” I said when I saw Alpha Richard approaching in long, angry strides. He turned around just in time as Alpha Richard reached where we stood. “Hi, Principal. That was great advice back there.” Axel laughed awkwardly. “Axel Northwood!” He growled. “You have been warned several times against using your powers, and now you are hurting your fellow students

    AXELEver since Alpha Richard’s distressed voice boomed over the intercom, I couldn’t stop wondering what had gone wrong. I could only hope that this assembly wasn’t about any of our students going missing. We all gathered in the assembly hall, with Violet seated beside me. Orion wouldn’t stop rumbling excitedly after realizing we had completely misunderstood our mate and that she wasn’t with Emmett. Once the students had settled, Alpha Richard stepped behind the podium, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room. “Good evening, everyone,” he began. “I have called you all here to discuss something important. I’m sure you’ve heard about the recent disappearances of several girls. Because of this, we have tightened security within the school to ensure the safety of our students, especially our girls. Now, I want to implore each of you to remain within the school premises and not sneak out.” He shifted his gaze toward me, staring intently. That last part was definitely directed at

I had no idea how I was going to explain things to him in a way that he would believe, how I would make him understand that there was nothing going on between me and Emmett. Today, in the locker room, I planned to get him to talk to me before lacrosse practice began. “Isn’t that job tiring? It’s not like you are even getting paid,” Daisy said as she watched me get dressed. “That’s why it’s called volunteer work. I am not doing it for money,” I said as I slipped my hands into my jacket. At first, I had accepted the job just to prove Axel wrong, but I had to admit, I was actually enjoying it now. Getting to watch them play every day made it all worth it. “Or...” She wiggled her brows, sitting up from her bed. “Are you doing this because he’s on the team?” “Who?” A blush crept onto my face, knowing exactly who she was talking about. “Him. You know?” She wiggled her brows again. “I have no ide
