Damian:

After massaging my temples repeatedly, I aggressively ran my hands through my hair as my men and I combed through the dense forest. Our senses were on high alert for any sign of Ruby. Hours had passed, and still she remained hidden like a ghost slipping through our grasp.

Her scent was faint and untraceable; it was almost as if she didn't exist anymore. If it weren't for my scent marking all around her, I wouldn't have perceived anything. Yet, it wasn't enough for me to figure out her exact location.

What made everything more infuriating was the fact that our mate bond felt practically useless. I couldn't communicate with her through it; it was as if an invisible barrier had been placed between us. This left me with a gnawing fear that she might have been hurt, or worse—dead.

No, I hoped not...

"We've been searching for hours, Alpha. Perhaps it's time to regroup and come up with a new plan," one of my warriors suggested, rubbing his eyes tiredly, reflecting the exhaustion we al

    Alex:Ever since I was a baby, I've always heard a voice in my head. At first, I thought it was just a phase that would eventually go away, but it didn't. It felt like there was another person inside me, but I knew it wasn't my wolf since I hadn't reached the age to have one yet—or at least, that's what my mom and teacher told me.I didn't share the details with my mom, fearing she might think I was crazy. So, I kept this secret to myself, knowing this strange part of me held an extraordinary amount of power. This made me stand out from the average werewolf child, as I was super intelligent.The voice frequently communicated with me, warning me of danger and helping me solve problems. It also gave me the ability to read people's minds when necessary, particularly when they were most vulnerable. This allowed me to discover a few dark secrets my mother had kept hidden from me.I lay in bed, tossing and turning restlessly, frustrated by the thought of my mother marrying Alpha Damian, a m

    Alex:Nothing could have ever prepared me for this cause—honestly, it was a scene I couldn't have imagined."I told you coming here was a bad idea," Shadow said as I stood there, stunned and silent."But—"I was utterly speechless, unable to find the right words to say. I didn't know exactly what I was expecting when I left the alpha's Damian pack, but I certainly wasn't expecting to see my father in such a compromising situation with women who weren't my mother.He was a man I had always looked up to in my head, even when I hadn't met him, but now the respect and admiration I once held for him have wavered, replaced by shock.Before my mother fell in love with Alpha Damian, she had remained loyal to my father and had no other man in her life, so I had expected the same fidelity from him. Seeing him with other women now made me question everything I had thought about him."Hey, are you coming in or not?" A warrior spoke sharply, pulling me out of my confusion. I nodded, trying to push

    Ruby:I found myself sitting in a cell, as Mr. Smith had ordered, while we all awaited the arrival of the chief spirit judge. Unfortunately for me, as Mr. Smith was still the council president, his authority meant that no one could oppose him.On the bright side, this cell was far more comfortable than the first one I had been in.Even though I had experienced a brief victory, I knew I wasn't out of danger yet. I could only hope that Damian would come to my rescue before Lilith got her way.After what felt like an eternity, the cell door creaked open, and the elder with white hair walked in, scratching his chin before clearing his throat. He still had an air of authority around him, but I could tell he was here to deliver news I wouldn't be pleased to hear."We were unable to reach the chief spirit judge," he announced, shattering the last bit of hope I had. "Despite our best efforts, he remains out of contact. Therefore, we have no choice but to proceed with the trial immediately wit

    Ruby:Upon hearing those words, my head turned abruptly towards the entrance, where a man I had never seen before stood with an air of authority and confidence.His eyes were multicoloured, giving his gaze an intense, soul-piercing quality that made me feel as though he could read my very being.His aura was unlike anything I had ever encountered, yet he felt strangely familiar, as if I had known him all my life. It seemed crazy to even think that.His clothing was regal, but it was his bearing that truly set him apart. His slow movements exuded confidence and power, leaving no doubt that he held a position of immense influence.Could he be the chief spirit judge? It seemed unlikely, yet as my gaze swept across the whole room, the fear emanating from everyone confirmed my suspicion.The elders and everyone else in the room kept their heads bowed, their silence indicating the newcomer's high status. The guards who held me hesitated briefly before stepping back, releasing me from their

    Ruby: The chief spirit judge stroked his chin thoughtfully, his expression contemplative."Your concerns are valid. It is wise to be cautious in matters such as these."His eyes scanned the room, examining each person in turn. When his gaze locked onto mine, I felt a rush of nervousness wash over me, my hands dampening with sweat. It felt as though he could see the doubts swirling in my mind."Let me prove myself. Please observe," he continued, drawing everyone's full attention.He rolled up his sleeve, revealing an intricate tattoo of a beautiful moon. The room filled with gasps as all eyes locked on the stunning design. I glanced at Lilith to see her reaction, but her expression remained skeptical, her eyes fixated on the markings.Just when I thought the demonstration was over, the chief spirit judge took a deep breath, his arms stretching wide. A powerful surge of energy burst from him, rippling through the room with an intensity that sent everyone flying from their chairs. Shriek

    Ruby:Mrs. Smith took a moment to collect herself, clearly affected by Lilith's words. Her body quivered with anger, and her hands shook with fury."Lilith was like a daughter to me." Mrs. Smith's voice wavered. "She would often come to our home seeking comfort and guidance. But one day, she arrived dishevelled and bloodied. It was unlike anything I had ever seen, and I knew something was terribly wrong." Mrs. Smith swallowed hard as Lilith shifted uncomfortably, her face paling as she realised the gravity of what Mrs. Smith was about to reveal."I overheard her speaking to my husband as he tended to her wounds," Mrs. Smith revealed, her eyes fixed on Lilith. I could tell it was painful for her to speak, but she had no choice because they had both betrayed her first."While they believed I was busy cleaning, I overheard her speaking in hushed tones to my husband. She confessed to him that she had killed a doctor named Williams, who was trying to find Luna Ruby and expose the truth. Li

    Ruby:My son's eyes softened as he looked down at me with his beautiful silver eyes filled with sadness, deepening the guilt clouding my soul. I couldn't believe I hadn't recognised this mysterious aspect of my son, even after being with him for seven years.Could I truly call myself his mother? I should have noticed all these signs, but I didn't because I didn't pay enough attention to him as I was too busy wallowing in my own misery."Mother, you've always been the best," he said, gently wiping the tears from my cheeks."It's me who doesn't deserve you. I should have listened to you." His words struck me, and the deep well of emotions I had tried to hide threatened to spill over. It wasn't his fault; I shouldn't have hidden details about his father in the first place.Despite the transformation of his body, I could still feel the essence of my son. I reached out and pulled him into a tight embrace, holding him close as if he could disappear despite the strangeness of his current fo

    Ruby:"Ruby, I didn't mean anything I said earlier; trust me, please," Liam pleaded, and I raised my eyebrows in surprise at his words. "I promise I can be a better mate. I don't mind accepting this monster as my child, and we can also have more children together and be happy. I know I made mistakes, but I can change. I’ll be the husband you've always wanted. Please, just give me another chance."His voice cracked, and fear flickered in his eyes. Satisfaction filled my soul as I listened to him. After he finished, I paused for a moment,pretending to be convinced by his words."Okay, I forgive you.""Oh, Ruby, I knew you didn't have it in you to kill me anyway." Liam exhaled in relief, clearly thinking he had escaped the worst. A glimmer of hope sparked in his eyes, and he almost smiled."You are a good girl, so come free me out of this bag. This bastard son of yours took me by surprise in an unexpected fight and gave me some injuries. I would have to teach him some manners on how to

    Adrian;A year laterI stirred awake, smiling sheepishly as the early morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on my beautiful mate's face. She was cuddled up against me, her warmth bringing me sparks, tingles, and comfort.I grinned as I savoured the peaceful moment, but my tranquilly was short-lived as Hazal began shaking me gently."Adrian," she whispered into my ear, "I need to pee, and we need to get up. We have to be ready for your coronation. You can't be late again."I grumbled, trying to pull her closer. "Can't we just stay here? I can call my parents and have them postpone it."She sighed, clearly exasperated. "This is the third time we've postponed it. Get your lazy ass up.""Five more minutes," I muttered, burying my face in her neck. I started peppering her face with sweet kisses, hoping to distract her. "Just five more minutes."She giggled, trying to squirm away. "Adrian, stop it! We really need to get ready."Ignoring her protests, I continued m

    Hazal. "I thought I would die, Luna. I was so scared," I sobbed, tears streaming down my face as I collapsed into her arms, unable to hold back my emotions.Luna Ruby held me tightly, sensing I was on the verge of breaking. Her embrace felt so motherly and warm, reminding me of my own mother when she was alive."It's okay, Hazal. You're safe now," she said in a soothing voice."I can't move," I whispered, my body trembling with pain. Every muscle ached, and the bruises from Anna's assault throbbed with each breath.Her eyes softened as she gazed at me, and then she began muttering words in a language I couldn't understand. I'd heard rumours about her being a powerful half-witch or werewolf—some called her a hybrid—but I never believed them. However, seeing her hands glow with a warm, healing light that sent comforting warmth through my body, I couldn't help but believe those rumours had some truth.Slowly, the pain began to fade, and the bruises on my skin disappeared, leaving no tra

    Hazal:I was fast asleep in my bedroom, dreaming about my failed life, when the door burst open and warm hands shook me awake."Hazal, Hazal! Miss Anna is calling for you again." Emily yelled, and I groggily opened my eyes, disoriented."What? Where?""I don't know, Hazel. She's not in her room. She's waiting for you in the basement," Emily replied worriedly. I sat up, my heart racing."The basement? Why would she want to meet me there?" I questioned, and Emily hesitated."She said something about her apologising for taking your dress and offering you another one."My eyes widened in surprise. "Another dress? Why would she do that?"What did Anna want from me now? And why was she being so nice all of a sudden? Emily shrugged. "I don't know, Hazal. But be careful, okay?"I nodded slowly, threw off my covers, and followed Emily out of my room, my senses on high alert.As we walked, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked in her dress for the mating ball.

    RubyStanding in front of my mate, Damian, I skillfully adjusted his tie. It was a small act of intimacy I had performed for the past twenty years of our life together. My fingers brushed against his chest, sending a flutter through my heart, while his arms encircled my waist, pulling me close as I worked. I felt safe and loved in his embrace."Perfect," I said, stepping back to admire my handiwork.Damian's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "You always make me look my best, Ruby."I smiled back, but my mind was elsewhere. I could feel the tension between Anna and me escalating; all her threats kept playing in my head, and I feared it would come to a head at the mating ball.Damian's gaze narrowed, his eyes piercing mine. "What's wrong, my love? You're stressed about something."I sighed, my shoulders sagging. "Damian, I'm worried about Anna's behaviour," I said, my voice low and concerned. "She's been treating the omega, Hazel, with such disdain. And now, she's become overco

    HazalI passed by Adrian's room on an errand, and I overheard my name mentioned between Luna Ruby and Anna, making me feel like an outsider. The tension between them was overwhelming, and knowing I was partly the reason for their argument filled me with distress.If I had to choose sides, even without knowing the full story, I would always stand by Luna Ruby. She had always been kind and warm, treating everyone with respect, regardless of their rank, but Miss Anna, on the other hand, was harsh, cruel, and unforgiving.Returning to the kitchen, my thoughts wandered back to Adrian. His mother seemed to believe there was something special between us, but I wasn’t so sure. Adrian was kind and handsome, but he was an alpha, and I was just an omega. Could we ever really be compatible?I remembered the kiss we shared, absentmindedly placing my hand on my lips as I recalled the subtle sparks that had flown between us.What happens next?Before I could delve deeper into my thoughts, I felt a p

    Adrian's Pov:"Adrian, where have you been all day?" my mother asked as I walked into the house with Hazel trailing awkwardly behind me. She was seated on the couch, her face lighting up with surprise when she saw me. She rose to her feet; her eyes then shifted to Hazel, and her surprise deepened."Oh, Hazel, hi there.""Mum, I’m not a child. I'm a twenty-year-old adult who can take care of himself," I hissed in irritation, feeling my earlier anger build up. But then I felt a soft hand touch mine and met Hazel's eyes. The rage within me died down instantly.My mother's gaze shifted to Hazel’s hand holding mine, and she raised an eyebrow. Hazel noticed my mom's gaze and blushed, quickly removing her hand from mine as if it had burned her."Luna, you asked me to take Alpha Adrian to the tailor shop, remember?" She muttered shyly, and my mother nodded with a large smile on her lips."Yes, I remember. Thank you, Hazel. And while you're at it, make sure you get a dress for yourself as well

    Adrian-I pushed away my disappointment in Anna and forced a fake smile as I descended the stairs. At the bottom, I spotted Hazel standing awkwardly, and my smile immediately turned genuine as I secretly admired her cuteness."Hey," I said, and she lifted her face, meeting my eyes."H-hey," she stammered, shifting from one foot to another. Together, we walked out of the house. I could feel my palms getting sweaty from the anticipation and nervousness about the upcoming mating ball, a significant event. The thought of Hazel assisting me with my suit fitting added to my nervousness for some reason."So, do you know much about suits?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood as we made our way to the tailor shop."A bit," she replied, her voice still a little shaky. "I’ve helped with fittings before.""Good to know," I said, offering her a reassuring smile. "I appreciate the help."We walked in comfortable silence for a while, the tension from earlier slowly dissipating. I realised this might

    Adrian The next day, the sun was barely up when I headed to the training grounds with my friends. We were sparring, honing our skills, and pushing each other to our limits. In the midst of a particularly intense training session, our pack beta, Daniel, joined us and signalled for us to form our usual circle."Adrian, Jake, step forward. It’s time to test your fighting skills," Beta Daniel said. Jake shot me a smirk as we moved to the centre of the training grounds.Jake was always a bit of a jerk, constantly boasting about his strength and making snide remarks about how I was only in my position because I was the alpha’s son. His words often grated on my nerves, but as usual, I did my best to ignore him.I don't like boasting or displaying my full strength, regardless of my alpha lineage, because I possess inherent strength that surpasses everyone on the training ground, owing to the chief spirit judge residing within me. This spirit enables me to perform supernatural feats. I consci

    Adrian;"Anna, wait!" I called out, jogging after her, hoping she would slow down and listen to me, but she didn’t. Instead, she quickened her pace, her shoulders tense with anger and frustration.This wasn't the first time I found myself running after her, especially after she had a heated conversation with my mother, and I knew it wouldn't be the last. For some unknown reason, she deeply loathed my mom, which made me uncomfortable since I cared about them both.What made everything more frustrating was that neither my parents nor Anna ever explained the reason behind her anger. Whenever I asked, they would all change the subject, which I found slightly annoying.Using my advanced werewolf speed, I quickly closed the distance between us, seeing the determination in her stride."Anna, please stop!" I called again, louder this time. She halted reluctantly when we reached the front of the house, aware that I would follow her even into her room, invading her privacy. She hated that.She
