*XAVIER’s—APARTMENT* Lucinda rubbed her temples and winced at the throbbing pain in her head. It was morning, and the sun ray was seeping through the white silk curtain which hung at the window. “Fuck!” Lucinda groaned in aches as she sat up in bed. Looking around the unfamiliar room, she couldn’t help but frown. ‘How did I get here?’ She thought. Yeah, she recalled she was drunk... But... As if on cue, the room was opened and Xavier came into view as he walked into the room.“Hey, how are you feeling?” Xavier asked, concern etched on his face.“Xavier!” Lucinda chuckled surprisingly when she saw him. Xavier smiled handsomely at her. “Well, I feel terrible,” Lucindaadmitted, “I got so drunk last night.”“I know,” Xavier said with a laugh, “I saw you stumbling outside the clubhouse.”Lucinda groaned and buried her face in her hands. “I can’t believe I made such a fool of myself.”“Don’t worry about it,” Xavier said reassuringly, and he said. “We’ve all been there.”Lucinda nodd
*ROSALIE’s APARTMENT* Tinesely stirred in her bed, her eyes slowly opening to the light filtering in through her window. It was morning. She let out a long stretch, her arms reaching towards the ceiling as she yawned deeply. It was another day, and she pulled back the covers and made her way to the bathroom.The cool tiles beneath her feet sent shivers up her spine, but she relished the feeling. Hence, she turned on the shower and let the water warm up before stepping in. As she washed, she couldn’t help but think about her younger sister, Lucinda. She knew something was wrong with her, but Lucinda is not ready to speak up. After drying off and stepping out of the bathroom, Tinsely walks towards the closet with a towel wrapped around her body. After getting dressed for work, Tinesely made her way out of her room as she heads to Lucinda’s room. She needed to check up on her.Tinsely knocked softly on the door, but got no response and it has been that way since yesterday. Givin
*MIDNIGHT—PACK* Lorenzo's bugatti centodieci car pulled up to the entrance of the pack, and Tinsley couldn't help but feel nervous. This was her first time visiting Lorenzo's pack, and she didn't know what to expect. Looking over at him, Lorenzo gave her a reassuring smile before opening the car door for her.“Come on,” he held out his hand for her, and Tinsley accepted it wholeheartedly as they walked towards the pack's entrance. She was from Red Moon pack, and she had heard a lot about Midnight pack —how it was being ruled by the most powerful Alpha. Alpha Lorenzo Rocheter, who now happens to be her mate. Still walking towards the pack entrance, Tinsley couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. The pack was huge, and she could sense the great energy coming from it.“Alpha King!” Each and everyone who saw the alpha ran out of their spot to bow respectfully at him. Tinsely became uncomfortable, not knowing how to react as the people paid regard to her too. Lorenzo sense her nerv
*MIDNIGHT PACK* Alpha Lorenzo strode out of his office, his mind still occupied with the weighty matters discussed at the council meeting. Steeping out of his office, her didn't expect to run into Honey, the Beta’s daughter. In the past, they both accidentally had a thing together. “Hello, Alpha Lorenzo," Isabella called, her voice faltering as she looked up at him with a mixture of hope and uncertainty.Lorenzo noticed the disappointment in her eyes as she took in his aloof demeanor, so he already knew what was coming next."You've forgotten about me," Honey said, her voice tinged with jealousy. "Now that you've found your mate, I'm nothing to you."Lorenzo's anger rose at her insinuation. "Honey," he growled, "You are one of my subjects, and I expect you to show respect to Tinsely, my mate, and our luna."Honey’s eyes widened at the Alpha's sharp tone, but she refused to back down. "But I loved you before she came along," she protested.Lorenzo's jaw clenched as he towered over
*TEMS–PENTHOUSE* It was early morning, and the sun was up in the bright sky. Jeanette woke up to find herself in Tem's penthouse, feeling disoriented, and smiled as she remembered last night. Tems didn't go easy with her, he nearly destroyed her p*say, and she screamed his name in pleasure. If only Lorenzo would want her this way, but unfortbepyy, he wants Tinsley. Perhaps, Tinsely bewitched him. Who knows?Jeanette rubbed her eyes and sat up, noticing Tem entering the room and she sailed out of the bed. While dressing up hurriedly since she would be going to the office, Tems stood and was watching her intensely as she got dressed. Jeanette scrambled to put on her clothes, feeling self-conscious under his scrutiny.After she finished putting on her clothes, Tem spoke in a firm tone. "Jeanette, I need to find a way to tear Tinsely and Lorenzo apart."Jeanette felt a pang of jealousy in her chest at the mention Tinsely, what has she got to do with Tems and Lorenzo? They both wan
Tinsley stood at the office door, her heart pounding as she saw, Lorenzo, and Jeanttee kissing. Her worst fears were confirmed! Tinsley felt like her world was crumbling around her. She couldn't believe that Lorenzo would do this to her. She slowly pushed open the door and walked into the office, feeling like she was in a daze."What the hell, Jeanette? Get off me!" Lorenzo shouted as he angrily pushed her away.Jeanette just laughed, "Oh, come on, Lorenzo. You know you want me."Lorenzo's face contorted in anger, "I said get the hell away from me! What this fuck is this?” Just then, Lorenzo saw Tinsley standing there at the door, with floods of tears in her eyes. “Shit!” Lorenzo sprang to his feet. “Tinsely, I can explain please,” He tried to explain.“Why!?” Tinsley shouted tearfully, and she just turned and ran out of the office."Tinsley, wait!" Lorenzo called out, but she was gone and he chased after her.Reaching the door, he halted, breathing heavily and he turns to give J
*ROSALIE’s—APARTMENT* Tinsely woke up with a pounding headache and a sick feeling in her stomach. She groaned and tried to sit up, but the room spun around her. She lay back down and closed her eyes, hoping the dizziness would pass.Suddenly, she heard a knock on her door. "Tinsely, are you okay?" It was Rosalie, and she stepped into the room.Tinsely tried to speak, but her throat was dry and scratchy. "Water," she croaked.“Hold on, I will be right back,” Rosalie rushed to the kitchen and brought back a glass of water and a small white pill. A few minutes later, she returned and Lucinda was with her. “Here, take this. It will help with the headache."Tinsely swallowed the pill and drank the water, feeling a little better. Then she noticed Lucinda, standing in the doorway. She was looking worriedly at her. "Hey, what happened last night?" Lucinda asked. "Why were you drinking so much?"Tinsely sighed sadly as she remembered how her awful her day went yesterday. Hot eyes burned
It was morning, and Lorenzo woke up early in the morning and got dressed for work. He thought of dropping by Tinsely’s office to check on her before heading to his own office. A few minutes later, Lorenzo was off to the office and when he arrived, he headed straight to Tinsely’s office, ignoring everybody’s greetings. When he got in, he found her office empty and this made him downcast. Just as he closed the door, he bumped into Mary. “Good morning, boss!” Marry quickly bowed at him, then she glance at Tinsely’s door. Lorenzo saw that look, so he asked. “Where is your friend? I didn't see her inside the office.” “I am sorry boss, but Tinsley has not come to work yet,” Mary replied. Hearing that, Lorenzo wasn't alleviated as he head straight to his office. Mary glances back to look at him, and she notices how dull the look. “What could be wrong?” She thought and then head to her office. Entering his office, Lorenzo became worried, knowing that Tinsely was upset with him afte
The full moon lingerie high in the night sky, radiating a silvery sheen over the clearing where the after-party for Tinsley and Lorenzo's coronation as Luna and Alpha was in full swing. The air was filled with gleeful laughter, music blaring in the air, and the scent of celebration. The pack members had gathered, enthusiastic to honor their new leaders and revel with them in their victory.Xavier, David, and Spencer, even Rosalie we're in the spot, they stood around the table where the center of the festivities was going on. They chatting happily, clutching their wines in their hand as they exchanged a few whispers.Xavier raised his glass and grinned. "To Tinsley and Lorenzo, our new Alpha and Luna of the pack! Long may they reign!" He hollered. “Cheers!” David and Spencer chorused, joining in the toast as they clink their glasses together. “It's time to dance, I wanna dance,” Rosalie giggled as she pulled Spencer with her. “Oh boy, I guess we are the single one then,” Xavier
*THE SEA—PORT* After some minutes, Lorenzo arrived at the seaport and he hurriedly stepped out of his car. His heart beating with deep anticipation, he just couldn't wait to confront Tems and rescue Tinsley. Walking through the abandoned area, a creepy breeze hung in the air and the ominous silence hovered. The spooky scenery heightened his sense of urgency, and he exacerbated his senses. All of a sudden, he caught sight of Honey who was standing a few feet away from him. She was chewing gum bitchily, and was putting on a sensual smile. Lorenzo's face hardened as he approach her with cautious steps, uncertain of her true intentions. When their eyes locked, he saw the flicker of lust flash through them. “Well, well, well, look who we have here,” Honey purr with mischievous eyes, walking in a circle around him. Then she stopped in her track, right in front of him as she said, “It has been a long time, Alpha.” “Why are you doing this?” Lorenzo asked meanly. “Because you neve
*LORENZO’s MANSION* It was a beautiful morning as Lorenzo woke up from his deep slumber, but the morning wasn't beautiful to him as he sat on his bed. He was fucking worried about Tinsely, his mind buzzing as he wondered where she could be. He had searched through the city, he left everything unturned and he sent his men to join the search too. But it all ended up with no result to show for it, she wasn't found and his heart was worrying immensely. The room was shimmering from the sun ray which was greeted by the morning sun screening through the curtains of his bedroom. Blinking away a scrap of sleep, Lorenzo stretched out his limbs and yawned softly, feeling exhausted from their search party yesterday. Just as he swung his legs over the rim of the bed, his gaze fell upon the alarm clock on his bedside table. It read 8:00 am, ascertaining that it was indeed morning. Hence. Lorenzo stood up, and he made his way to the bathroom. He needed to freshen up. Stepping inside, the c
*TEMS—PENTHOUSE* It was exactly noon when Tinsley woke up from her unconsciousness, she was feeling particularly messy, disoriented, and groggy. Finally, she regained consciousness, and her eyes grew widened shockingly when she saw Tems! He was lying next to her on the bed, and she attempt to move away quickly from him. However, her actions were terminated abruptly and she realized she was chained to the bed with her limbs constrained. “What!” A wave of panic, fear, and desperation to flee overcome Tinsley as she started screaming. “Somebody please help! Help me!” She was crying hysterically, and shouting for help. Her voice was resounding through the room, and that had stirred Tems from his nap. His eyes slowly blinked open, and a twisted grin crept on his face as he gazed obsessively as he enjoyed seeing her screaming in terror.“Hey, baby, what's wrong?” He asked, and he sat up on his butt. He tried you touch her, but she spits at his face. “Don't you dare touch me!” She s
It was a freezing morning as Jeannette walked briskly through the street, she couldn't wait to get home yet. After everything happened to Lorenzo, she had decided to lay low for now. The early morning haze swung in the air, summing up with an ominous atmosphere to the surroundings. Jeannette held her bag tightly, and she constricted her coat around her. Her footsteps reverberated against the pavement as she scurried towards her house which a few walks away.Just as Jeannette veered around a corner onto her street, a feeling of relief washed over her as soon as she saw her house a few blocks away. Finallyshe arrived at her house, and Jeannette fumble with her keys. Her breath were creating perceptible puffs of fog in the chilly air. Hence, she swung the door open, and stepped inside before shutting out the cold world behind her.Jeannette ambled to the couch, but she didn't sit as she struggled to remove her coat first. She could not even register her surroundings for a moment.
*ROSALIE’s APARTMENT* It was late in the evening, and the sun was just seeing below the horizon. Tinsley was walking through the streets, her face was pale and she was looking ragged. A few minutes later, she arrived finally at Rosalie’s apartment and she slowly opened the front door. Her body was dangling with weariness and her eyes filled with grief. Just as she stepped inside the living room, the aroma of freshly baked cookies swirled her nose as it flowed from the kitchen. Tinsely stomach crumbled hungrily, and at that moment, she knew she hadn't eaten since morning. Closing the door behind her, Rosalie scampered out of the kitchen with concern inscribed on her face.“You are back! Where have you been since last night? I was fucking worried about you, best!” Rosalie said worriedly, and she opened her arms wide. Tinsely wrapped her hands around tightly, then she rested her head on Rosalie’s shoulder. “I'm always fine, you don't have to worry about me, okay?” Tinsely softly
*LORENZO’s–MANSION* It was a luminous morning, and the sun was seeping into the room through the window. Tinsely gradually opened her eyes, and she quickly sat up when she realized she was sleeping on a bed that wasn't her own. A wave id confusion flashed on her face, and it was quickly replaced with shock as she recognized she was lying next to a man. Tems! “What!” A wild gasp fled out her lips, her heart was racing as she tried to comprehend what had exactly happened.Rosalia’s apartment... The bar... Startled by Tinsely’s sudden awakening, Tems stirred up from his slumber. Seeing her sitting up next to him, he smiled warmly ad he attempted to reach out and touch her. “Don't touch me!” Tinsely snapped, recoiling from his touch she slapped his hand off. Tems frowned, he tried again to touch her but she pushed him away their time with force."No! No! This can't be happening! This can't be happening to me!!!” Tinsely cried, her voice sounding whispering. Her entire body was t
*ROSALIE’s—APARTMENT* It was night already when Tinsley gradually regained her consciousness as her eyes fluttered open. A slight mix of confusion blurred her mind as she tried to make sense of her surroundings, she was inside a dimly lit room... As she looked around, she saw she was inside Rosalie’s room. Rosalie was sitting on the bed beside her, she was sleeping but with concerned expression on her face.Somehow, she stirred up from her sleep and she shockingly exclaimed, “Tinsley!" Her voice was buttered with both relief and worry as she moved closer, and immediately drew Tinsley in a a tight hug, holding her body close. “Thank goodness! You're awake, you don't know how much I've been so worried about you."Tinsley's head was still reeling, and her heart was racing rapidly as she struggled to put the whole piece together of what had happened. Reazling that, her eyes widened as she spoke in her trembling the voice which was barely above a whisper. “Tell me, Rosalie, is it tr
The morning rays gently screened through the window, and it was radiating a soft shimmer upon Tinsley's face. All of a sudden she stirred up, her eyes were deeply red and swollen from the tears she shed last night. The weight of the event settled heavily in her heart and her soul is crushed. In a slow motion, Tinsely stood to her feet and then she walked towards the window, her steps are quiet and mild. Getting to the window, she pulled the white curtains aside as she gazed cityscape before her.Lost in her mess thoughts, she continued staring silently at the scuttling streets below with her mind filled with the memories of the party. The consequence of it all felt stifling, and she yearned for a moment of peace amidst the disarray that had gobbled her life.An hour later, Tinsely still stood at the window, trying to sought comfort in her silent contemplation. Unexpectedly, the door of her room swung open, and Rosalie flew in, her face filled with intensity. "Rosalie?" Tinsley
