ESMERALDA

Using the black magic power to lay a curse twenty two years ago had affected my life. My mother had warned me against it when she was alive.

Ever since I used the forbidden power, I had been seriously ill, I can no longer do anything without the help of an aid. I had longed for death and tried killing myself so many times but I am being punished. I am suffering from my actions.

The air is crisp and fresh,carrying the faint scent of dew and earth. As I sat in pain,wrapped in a blanket, the world outside appeared calm and still, bathed in the soft, diffused light of the early day. My room was dark,the only lighting was coming from the window.

A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts. My maid walked in with a worried look. I wondered why she’s still here, I thought she would have run away like the others I had in the past.

“Someone is here, asking to see you, her name is Ethel.” she said.

At the mention of Ethel, I bec

    SARAI heard everyone calling my name as I ran into my room crying.Why am I going through all these? The witch that had cursed me has been found but she cannot undo the curse.I sat on the floor and yelled, in heartbreak and misery. I was tired of life itself.Suddenly, my breathing became rapid and shallow, I was struggling to catch my breath.Eden, Aaron and Fay came into the room. Eden rushed to my side “What is wrong with her?” Eden asked in fear.“She’s having a panic attack,step aside! Breath Sara, Breath.” Fay said, holding me close.She asked me to inhale and exhale slowly, she was rubbing my back gently. Gradually I became calm.Aaron walked out in anger, I heard him yell Ethel’s name.Eden assisted Fay in laying me in the bed and covered me up with a duvet. “I am going after Aaron before he does something stupid.” Fay kissed my head and walked out.Eden sat on the bed and cleaned the tears coming from my eyes.“We

    AARON It had been three days since Fay told me she sent a messenger to Sara, asking her to come back. Why is she not back yet? I paced about in the throne room, restless and angry.“Brother, what is getting you so worked up?” Fay asked as she walked into the throne room.“Didn’t you say you sent a message to Sara, why is she not back yet?” I growled.“Why are you so obsessed with Sara? She hasn’t even accepted you yet, Can’t you see? She has feelings for Eden, Let her go” She replied calmly.I stood up and walked towards her “What did you just say?” I growled loudly at her and held her throat, My claws were out,pinching into her skin. She was terrified and held my hand that was holding her throat. I squeezed hard while she choked with tears rolling from her eyes.“Aaron!!! I heard a loud cry from behind. I saw her standing there with a frown on her face.I let go of Fay as my anger disappeared “S-sara,” I stuttered.I tried wal

    SARAMy face was with a scowl as I sat in Aaron’s throne room with everyone, including the witch Esmeralda. Seeing her makes my blood boil, I wonder what she wants to talk about.I looked at Eden, he was also giving Esmeralda a deadly look. My thought went to the erotic moment we had the previous night, I blushed hard.“Esmeralda you called for a meeting, can you start talking now? Aaron asked, impatiently.I noticed he has been avoiding eye contact with me, he moved his shoulder in a discomforting way. I remembered Eden’s wolf biting him on his shoulder.“I-i knew about someone that knows how to reverse curses placed on someone with black magic, my mother used to talk about him but I thought he would be dead.” She stuttered.“So? Get straight to the point.” Fay asked impatiently.“I did my findings and he’s still alive but he lives in a very dangerous place, where the most dangerous rogues live.” she said looking everyone in t

    SARA“Move faster,” I urged the coachman.Knowing Eden, he would be on my trail by now.As we rode through the forest, a flood of emotions,anger and hurt mixed together, creating a raw, searing pain in my chest.I was a fool, how could I have trusted him again? I am not going to cry because of Eden. I cleaned the tears flowing from my eyes. I would reclaim my self worth and dignity.The coachman suddenly came to a halt “Rogues!” he shouted.A sudden rush of adrenaline floods my system, my heart starts pounding furiously in my chest.The guards at the second carriage came down and started fighting with the rogues.They were outnumbering us, I needed to do something and defend myself.“Hi Queen Sara,” A strange man with the ugliest looking teeths, smiled at me.He held my hand and pulled me forcefully out of the carriage.“Let me go! Who are you and what do you want?” I yelled.I kicked him in his groin, he screamed and let go of my hand. I started running but my dress was making it d

    SARA“What are your powers?” Kieran asked, as he slapped me hard for the fifth time.He placed me on the chair but didn’t tie me up, which I was grateful for because my wrist was bruised from the previous tie up.“I don’t have any powers,” I frowned.“Sara I have done my findings about you, I was told you are not just a mere human. You have powers,” he leaned towards me.“Do you think if I had any powers I would be here?” I spat angrily.Meanwhile I was wondering why my powers were not working, something was wrong.“You must think I am a fool, you made use of your commands earlier in the woods,” he laughed.“I would ask you for the last time, What are your powers?” he growled.“If I have powers, why didn’t it work? If you claimed I used it earlier.” I smirked.“Maybe your informants were wrong,” I continued.He stepped back with a confused expression on his face, he whispered to the two men standing at the side.“If you claimed,you don’t have powers, there’s a witch I would take you

    SARA“You mean,before you can remove the curse of death from me, the witch that cursed me has to be present?” I asked Fisher.“Yes, the person that cursed you has to be present,” he replied.“I don’t know how to get out of this forest without being caught by kieran and his men, the only way out of this forest is through Hunter’s Den.” I said with a frown and groaned, knowing Esmeralda is probably at Shadow’s pack.“The goddess works in mysterious ways,” he said with a smile.Suddenly, we heard a loud growl. Fear gripped me as I shivered, Kieran and his men must have found me.“Stay here and don’t move.” Fisher said and stepped out.I stood up and started pacing about, looking for where I could hide in the old room. The room was filled with ancient carvings and treasures.Fisher came back with a smile and asked me to come with him. He stretched his hands towards me and I took it with fear and confusion. I was wondering w

    SARA “I would add Esmeralda and Sara’s blood together to perform the ritual,” Fisher explained, as we all focus on him performing the ritual.Fisher cut Esmeralda’s finger with a small knife, and her blood dropped on the small bowl, he cut mine and I winced. I watch my blood drop on the bowl. She had agreed to exchange her life with mine, she said afterall she was going to die soon, for using black magic to lay a curse.He began to chant in a language as old as time, his voice resonating with power and authority. As the incantations grew louder, the air around us crackled with energy. I felt a strange warmth spread on my body. A bright light erupted on Fisher’s staff, enveloping me. I closed my eyes anticipating, it would be over soon and I would be free.“Why is it not working!” Fisher suddenly exclaimed.I opened my eyes and looked at him, he looked confused.“What do you mean, it’s not working?” Eden growled.“The

My heart swells with a protective love, knowing that I had marked her as my own.The warmth of her body against mine,coupled with the gentle rise and fall of her breathing,fills me with deep tranquility.“Things are getting more intense back at Moonstone, so much workload has piled up for me. I won’t be able to come as often, I want you to come back to where you belong, Sara. I am not forcing you, just think about it.” I said, and kissed her forehead.She was silent, her hands were moving slowly on my chest, sending a sweet sensation in my body.“I am sure,with you is where I want to be,” She finally said.I lifted her chin and looked into her eyes “What do you mean?” I asked in expectation.“I think it’s time to go back home with you,” She said with a smile.I leaned down and kissed her lips gen

    SARAEvery moment stretched like an eternity. The palace felt like a tomb, silent and still, as if holding its breath along with me.Days passed, and still, the Alpha remained in his deep sleep, unmoving. The pack sensed the unease, whispers of the Alpha’s condition spreading like wildfire, filling the air with a sense of impending doom.My heart ached with every passing hour, the emptiness of his absence growing like a chasm in my soul.I spent my days at his side, watching over him, praying silently for a miracle. While Aldo handles the affairs of the pack.Each night, I listened to Fisher’s chants, his voice a distant echo of hope. But the more time passed, the more my hope began to waver, replaced by a cold, creeping fear that I would never see my mate’s eyes again.The palace staff moved quietly, their faces drawn and pale, as if reflecting my anguish. Aldo, too, hovered nearby, his expression dark with worry, ready to support me, even as he grappled with his own grief over Eden’s

    ALPHA KING EDENThe air in the room was thick with tension, the flickering light from the candles casting shadows across the walls. I stood in the center, my gaze steady as I watched Fisher prepare the ritual.I had sent Aldo a message to Fisher for this ritual, as it was the only way to save my daughter and the pack from the prophecy. Aldo protested but I told him I had made up my mind.The chronos amulet that had been in Fisher’s possession after using it to remove Sara’s curse was my only option.The chronos amulet, an ancient relic known for its power to alter fate, lay on a small pedestal before us. Its gemstone pulsed faintly, as if alive, resonating with the power it held.Fisher’s eyes clouded by age yet sharp with wisdom, turned to me. “Are you certain about this, Alpha? The consequences could be grave.“The prophecy is not something to be taken lightly. This could cost you your life.” he asked, his voice gravelly, echoing with years of knowledge and forewarning.My jaw tig

    SARAI stood at the pack ground watching the Alpha address the pack, I felt a renewed sense of hope. He stood tall and confident, his voice commanding the attention of every wolf gathered around him.I recalled how I sat at the chamber, lost in thought after storming out of the throne room. Eden had come to me later in the night, his expression a mixture of determination and apology.He hadn’t let my anger push him away. Instead, he’d held me close, his hands gentle as he brushed away my tears.We talked for hours, sharing fears and hopes, finding common ground in our love for our children.Eden had promised me, he would find a way to ensure our daughter’s safety without resorting to drastic measures.He had asked me to trust him, and I trust him. His resolve had reassured me, and the walls between us crumbled.We kissed then, with a tenderness that spoke of forgiveness and understanding. The intensity of our emotions had quickly ignited into passion, a need to reconnect and affirm

He had arrived in the early hours of the morning.His elderly figure draped in a layer of ceremonial robes, stood in the throne room. His eyes, clouded with the wisdom of countless years.He spoke softly, yet his words carried the weight of ages, echoing through the room like a quiet, unbreakable command.“Alpha, your daughter’s powers are unlike any we have seen in generations. They align with the prophecy of the old, a prophecy that foretells the rise of a child born to end the era of wolves.“Her abilities are growing, and without proper guidance, they will become uncontrollable. He said, his voice as steady as stone.I tensed, my jaw clenching as I listened. I had feared these words, yet hearing them aloud made my blood run cold. I exchanged a glance with Sara, whose eyes were filled with worry and desperation.Fisher continued. “There is a way to protect the pack, but it is a hard path to walk. Your d

    SARAEden and I lay nestled together in our bedroom, the warmth of our embrace a comfort after a long day for both of us on our various pack duties.The soft glow of the candlelight cast a soothing light across the room, and the rhythmic sound of our breathing filled the space with a sense of peace.Eden ran his fingers through my hair, pressing soft kisses against my forehead. Our hearts beat in sync, a silent reminder of our bond.Just then, a sharp knock sounded at the door. Eden sighed, reluctance weighing on him as he pulled away from my embrace.He walked over to the door, his posture stiffening as he opened the door and found Aldo standing there, his face pale and etched with worry.“Alpha, It’s… it’s about Elena. Her powers…” Aldo said, his voice strained.Before he could finish, Eden’s eyes widened in alarm. Instinctively, I sat up in bed, sensing the change in the atmosphere.Without another word, Eden and I bolted from the room, our hearts racing with fear and urgency. We b

    ALPHA KING EDENI held Sara as she cried, my own emotions were kept in check for her sake, my resolve solidifying with every tear she shed.Minutes turned into what felt like hours, her sobs slowly quieting down, replaced by the soft sound of her breathing.I continued to hold her, whispering soothing words, my hands never ceasing their gentle, comforting motions.Eventually, the exhaustion of the day took over, and Sara’s eyelids grew heavy. Her breathing became slow and even, and she drifted into sleep, cradled in my embrace.I remained still, staring out into the darkness beyond the windows of my study, my thoughts racing even as my heart beat steadily.I looked down at Sara, her face peaceful in sleep despite the tear stains on her cheeks. I brushed a strand of hair away from her face, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.At that moment, I made a silent vow. Whatever it took, I would protect my family. I would not let a prophecy dictate the fate of my children. I would seek an

    ALPHA KING EDEN [ONE YEAR LATER]The sun cast a warm golden hue over the pack in the late afternoon as Sara and I walked side by side, each of us holding one of the twins’ tiny hands.The air was filled with the scents of the forests, and the distant sound of pack members training echoed through the trees.It was a peaceful day, the kind that made us forget about prophecies and threats, if only for a moment.As we walked, we were greeted by members of the pack, all of whom stopped to pay their respects.A young warrior nodded respectfully, “Alpha, Luna, The twins are getting big.” he said, his voice filled with admiration.“They are,” Sara replied with a smile, her heart swelling with pride. She glanced down at Ethan and Elena, their innocent faces lighting up at the attention. Ethan’s dark hair was tousled by the breeze, while Elena’s wide eyes sparkled with curiosity.We continued walking, passing by the training grounds where a group of warriors were sparring.

    SARAEden’s steps were deliberate and steady, as he carried me to the bedroom. As he crossed the threshold, the familiar scent of our shared space surrounded us, and I felt the remnants of tension ease from my body.He gently lowered me onto the bed, my back sinking into the soft sheets. My eyes locked onto his, a silent understanding passing between us.The heat in his gaze mirrored mine, and without a word, we both began to strip away the barriers that had kept us apart for so long.The air was thick with anticipation as we hurriedly undressed, clothes discarded carelessly onto the floor.Months of pent-up frustration, longing, and unspoken words fueled our actions, our movements almost frantic, desperate to reconnect in the most intimate way possible.As soon as the last piece of clothing fell away, Eden moved over me, capturing my lips in a passionate kiss that spoke of all the nights we had spent alone, yearning for each other’s touch.Our bodies met in a hungry embrace, skin ag

Only moments before, I had been worrying about the tension between the two of them.It was no secret that Alpha Darius’s lingering glances at me had stirred unease in my mate. Remembering how Eden had insisted on having a private conversation with Darius in his office, my mind had raced with concerns over a possible confrontation.I had even hesitated at the door, listening for raised voices, but the silence had only amplified my anxiety.After waiting for what felt like an eternity, I had decided to check on them. Now, seeing them in a handshake, the hostility seemingly dissipated, I felt a wave of relief mingled with confusion.How had they managed to handle the tension so quickly? What had passed between them to change the charged atmosphere that had hung in the air.As Darius walked out of the office, his posture was relax
