SARAI woke up in the middle of the night, my body instinctively reaching out for Eden beside me. But the space where he should have been was empty, the sheets cool to the touch.My heart sank slightly as I realized he wasn’t there. Lately, his late night absences had become more frequent, and each time it happened, I couldn’t help but worry.After a moment of lying in the quiet, dark room, I decided to check on him. Perhaps he was in his office, poring over the plans to catch the killer that had disrupted our pack’s peace.I freshened up quickly, splashing cold water on my face to shake off the lingering sleepiness, and then quietly made my way out of the bedroom.As I walked through the silent corridors, my mind drifted back to Eden’s recent behavior. He had been distant, more so than usual, and though he still showered me with love and care, something felt off.The nightmares that had been plaguing him weighed heavily in my mind, even though he hadn’t shared it with me.As I approa
SARAMy anger propelled through me as I walked in the corridors, my destination clear in my mind. I needed answers, and I needed them now.When I reached the throne room, I threw the doors open, my fury giving me the strength to face Eden despite the pain that was threatening to overwhelm me.Eden was seated on his throne, his expression cold and unreadable as he looked up at me. For a moment, we simply stared at each other, the tension between us was thick and palpable. Unable to hold back any longer, the words erupted from me in a torrent of emotion.“How could you do this to me? How could you bring that woman into our home, into our bedroom, and disrespect me like this? She told me to move to the guest room, that my place is no longer here!” I demanded, my voice was trembling with both anger and hurt.Eden narrowed his eyes, his expression darkening. “You’re causing a scene over nothing, She’s with me now, and you will do as I say.” he said dismissively, his tone laced with irrita
SARA“Have you no shame? You’ve already destroyed our bond, and now you defile the only place that still held meaning for us? For me?” I demanded, my voice rising with fury.Eden’s lips twisted into a slight smirk, a look that made my blood boil. “You’re overreacting, You need to stop clinging to the past. It’s time you accepted reality.” he said coolly.Maya, emboldened by Eden’s altitude, stepped closer to him, sliding her arm around his waist. She looked at me with barely concerned contempt.“You’re not needed here anymore, Why don’t you just leave?” she said with a sneer.My hands clenched into fists at my sides, my nails digging into my palms as I fought to control the wave of emotions crashing over me.I wanted to scream, to lash out, to make them both feel the pain they were causing me. But I knew I couldn’t; I had to think of my baby, the child I was carrying who didn’t deserve to be caught in the middle of this turmoil.With every ounce of strength I had left, I forced mysel
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
