“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

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

    ALPHA KING EDENAs Sara and I entwined in the aftermath of our intense lovemaking, I felt a profound sense of satisfaction and completion. 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

My heart ached with a deep, unspoken longing, a bittersweet mixture of love resignation.In a short while, Sara had been the light of my life, her laughter and warmth. I had loved her deeply, with every fiber of my being.Seeing her so happy and content with Eden, brought a pang of jealousy that I quickly quelled. I know I had to let her go, to respect her choice and the bond she had formed with Eden.The day Eden and I had a fight, Ethel had walked in on us after Fay took Sara away. She had said “What would your fathers say, seeing you two fighting yourselves to death?” she shook her head and walked away.Eden and I came to our senses, after Ethel’s words. I shifted back and walked away from him in disappointment and shame. Eden and I had never raised our claws on each other, from that day I made up my mind to let Sara go. Ethel and Esmeralda had been gone for t

    ALPHA KING EDENThe palace was steeped in heavy silence, an atmosphere of dread hanging over every corridor and chamber.It had been a week since Sara fell ill. I had given her the potion Fisher created for the sickness caused by the curse, her condition showed no signs of improvement.My heart ached, as I watched how Sara’s usual vibrant presence has now become a shadow of itself. Her once bright eyes are dull and her strength waning.I was always at her bedside, my eyes were fixed on her with a mixture of desperation and helplessness.The evening sun dipped below the horizon and the room was bathed in the soft glow of candlelight.My heart broke as I watched Sara struggle to draw each breath. I felt a pang of guilt , a nagging voice in the back of my mind questioning if I had somehow failed her. Had I overlooked something? Was there more I could have done to protect her?I stood and paced the room, my frustration was bubbling. I had sen

    ALPHA ALFRED“What do you mean the poison didn’t kill her?” I growled in anger.“I am sorry my Alpha, the poison was detected before it could consume her,” An unknown voice said.“You are a failure! Make sure our tracks are covered and lay low for now,” I ordered.I paced back and forth in my throne room, as the steps of my shoes echoed off the marble floor. All my attempts to kill my brother’s daughter, the rightful owner of my throne had proved abortive.My mind replayed the events that had led to this moment, each of my attempts is a bitter reminder of my failure to kill just one cursed girl.I accused Sara, she’s the cause of her mother’s death, while in truth I caused Charlotte’s death. She killed herself a few days after giving birth to Claire because she found out I killed her ex husband Landon.She was devastated. She married her husband’s killer and even had a child for him, so she drank a poisonous substance and died. I covered it up

He smiled gently.“How are you feeling, my love?” he asked, his voice was low and tender.I took a deep breath, “Better, I feel better.” I whisperedEden's smile widened, and he leaned forward to press a soft kiss on my forehead. “Thank the goddess, I have been so worried.” he murmured, as his lips lingered against

    SARAI stood before the mirror in the room, my reflection shimmering in the soft candlelight. My skin, once pale and sickly from the poison that nearly took my life, now glowed with health and vitality.I ran my fingers through my long, auburn hair, which cascaded in loose waves down my back, framing my delicate features.Eden had asked me to dress up, and have dinner with him. This would be the first time in weeks, I would be leaving the room.For dinner with Eden, I had chosen a gown of deep crimson silk that clung to my curves in all the right places. The bodice was intricately embroidered with gold thread, shimmering in light. The skirt flowed elegantly to the floor, pooling around my feet in a cascade of fabric. My hair was swept up into an elaborate updo, with tendrils of curls framing my face.As I made my way out of the room, I exuded an air of confidence and grace, every of my movements was a testament of my strength and resili

I had faced my own pain and fear, but in that moment, all melted away, leaving only the pure, undeniable love I felt for him. There’s nothing I want more than to be his Luna, his wife, his partner in all things.As we stood in the bedroom, my heart raced by his words, a deep flush spreading across my cheeks as I nodded, my voice caught in my throat.I had seen him battle, I had witnessed his strength and power, but here, in this moment , I saw the depth of his vulnerability, his need to express his love in the most intimate way.He began to slowly undress me. His fingers worked carefully, undoing the ties of my gown. The dress fell from my body, leaving me only in my delicate undergarments.He traced the lines of my body,he took his time, savoring each moment as he undressed me, as though he was unwrapping a precious gift.I was finally naked before him, he paused

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.

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. Some of them paused

    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
