ALPHA KING EDENI watched with a heavy heart as Sara walked away with Aaron. Every step she took felt like a dagger to my soul, but I remained stoic, my face betraying none of the turmoil raging inside me.I had kept up the pretense, had to make it look like I didn’t care, like I was indifferent to her pain. It was the only way to protect her, the only way to ensure that she and the unborn child would be safe from the danger looming over the pack.But the truth was, every moment of this charade was tearing me apart. I had never wanted to hurt her, never wanted to see the light in her eyes dim with sorrow and confusion.Yet, I knew that if I didn’t play my part, the threat lurking in the shadows might strike, and I couldn’t risk that.Sara was too precious to me, and our child; the thought of anything happening to them was unbearable.I had noticed the subtle clues, the strange occurrences and I have some suspects already, but it wasn’t enough to make me wary.I had to be sure before
SARA [THE SHADOW’S PACK]I had followed Aaron back to The Shadows pack. I thought I could handle whatever Eden did to me. But after he collected his mother’s necklace he gave me, that was it.I knew how important his mother’s necklace is to him. For him to take it back means he no longer cares and loves me.As I left Moonstone pack with Aaron, I felt a profound sense of loss, as if a part of me had been left behind with him. I didn’t want to leave but Aaron insisted he’s not leaving me behind.I knew I couldn’t dwell on it. I couldn’t afford to let myself be consumed by the pain and sorrow that threatened to overwhelm me.As I rode beside Aaron, I made a silent vow to myself: I would not be brought down by this. I would not let the betrayal break my spirit. I had more to think about now, more to care for; especially the unborn child growing within me.“Are you okay? Sara.” Aaron asked, he could see the weight of my sadness.“I’m fine, Aaron.” I replied to him with a smile. Aaron is
ALPHA KING EDENI had spent countless hours in my office, meticulously planning and setting a trap to catch the threat that had infiltrated my pack and murdered Aries and the young girl. Leaving the young girl’s body as a grim warning at the gate.My heart was heavy with a mixture of rage and determination. The image of the girl’s lifeless body haunted me, fueling my resolve to protect the pack and my Luna, who was now safely away from the danger that loomed over us.With Sara safely hidden in Aaron’s territory, I had no reason to continue the charade with Maya, I had used to push her away.The pretense had been agonizing, each cruel word and calculated action tearing at my heart. But it had been necessary to ensure Sara and our unborn child would be out of harm’s way.Now, with the trap set and the plan in motion, it was time to end the charade. I called Maya into my office, my expression cold and detached.Maya, who had grown comfortable in her role, approached me with a smile, but
THE UNKNOWN The celebration the alpha had arranged seemed like the ideal opportunity to carry out my latest mission; a mission driven by a deep, fastening hatred for the Alpha king.This hatred stemmed from an old wound, a loss that had burned into my soul, leaving me with nothing but thirst for revenge.As the festivities unfolded, I moved silently among the pack members, blending in effortlessly with the crowd.No one noticed the darkness in my eyes or the simmering anger that boiled beneath my calm exterior.In my mind, the plan was simple; poison the food and drinks meant for the pack. It was the same poison that took Aries life, and the same poison that had nearly killed Sara.This time, however, the poison was meant to wreak even greater havoc, to bring the Alpha king to his knees by destroying the pack he so fiercely protected.I made my way to the wine and food section, my heart pounding with anticipation. I could imagine the devastation that would unfold once the poison too
ALPHA KING EDENThe dungeon was cold and damp, the air thick with the smell of mold and the faint metallic tang of blood.The flickering torchlight cast long shadows on the rough stone walls as I and Aldo descended the winding staircase.My expression was hard, my eyes sharp with purpose. Aldo, though still limping slightly from his own recent ordeal, walked beside me, the betrayal we had uncovered weighing heavily on both our minds.As we reached the bottom, my gaze fell upon the woman who had served in the palace for so many years, now reduced to a bloodied and bruised figure chained to the wall.The guards had done as I’d ordered, and Gloria was barely recognizable, her face swollen from the beatings.But despite the pain etched into her features, there was no remorse in her eyes. Instead, she looked up at me with a chilling calm, a twisted satisfaction lurking beneath the surface.I stepped closer, my presence imposing as I stood over her. Aldo remained a step behind, his own fa
SARAThe afternoon sun glinted off the calm surface of the little lake, Its warmth a comforting embrace as I enjoyed a rare moment of peace. Fay was beside me, our laughter mingling with the soft rustling of the trees that bordered the lake.The gentle breeze carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers, adding to the tranquility of the scene.My hand rested protectively over my growing bump, my heart swelling with the joy of impending motherhood. I needed this; time to relax, to breathe, and to forget the recent turmoil that had clouded my life. As I sat on the grassy bank, I felt a sense of contentment I hadn’t experienced in weeks. I leaned back, allowing myself to absorb the serenity of the moment.But just as I began to drift into the calm, a familiar voice called out to me from the path leading to the lake.I turned to see Aaron approaching, a warm smile on his face. “ Sara, I’ve got something special to show you.” he greeted, a hint of excitement in his voice.Curiosity pique
SARAAs I heard his footsteps fading away, after telling him it was over between us. I stood frozen for a moment, my hand resting against the door where he had just been.The weight of my words settled in my chest like a stone, heavy and unyielding. I had meant what I said, but I didn’t make it any easier to bear.I moved slowly away from the door, my steps unsteady as I crossed the room and sank onto the edge of the bed.The silence around me was deafening, a stark contrast to the storm of emotions raging inside me. I buried my face in my hands, my heart aching with a pain so deep it felt like it might never heal.How did it come to this? I wondered, my thoughts racing. I had always believed that Eden saw me as his equal, that he trusted me as much as I trusted him. But his actions had shattered that belief.He had kept me in the dark, made decisions that affected both of us without so much as a word. It was as if he didn’t trust me… didn’t see me strong enough to stand by his side
SARAWalking through the long corridor, after a day well spent with Fay. She had been a friend and a sister, she cared for me and helped me in literally everything. I am grateful for her kindness.As I approached the door, I noticed a basket of peonies; my favorite flower, delicately arranged and waiting for me.A soft smile tugged at my lips as I bent down to pick it up, wondering who could have left such a thoughtful gift.Once inside, I closed the door behind me and brought the basket to the table. The soft, sweet scent of the peonies filled the room as I leaned in to inhale their fragrance, the petals brushing against my cheek.The simple beauty of the flowers made me smile, a rare moment of peace and joy easing into my heart.But then, something caught my eye. Nestled among the blooms was a folded letter. My curiosity piqued, I carefully retrieved it and began to unfold the paper, my heart beating a little faster with each movement.My dearest Sara,As I sit down to write this,
