Lucy worked hectically as a handmaid in the Royal residence of the Moonshine pack. She soon got to know that Leo, the son of Alpha Eric and the Future Alpha was her mate. But Leo who tried to gain recognition from his Father was scared of taking Lucy in as his Father might not accept her. Lucy got tormented and rejected by Leo one fateful night after getting into trouble but then, Leo claimed to have no choice as he was obeying his Father's command. Did Lucy and Leo get along or did she find another mate?
View MoreAiden's hands rested firmly on Lucy's shoulders, his touch steady yet electrifying. His gaze bore into hers, deep and searching as though he could uncover every secret she kept hidden just by looking. Lucy felt the heat of his closeness, the tension cracking between them like a storm waiting to break.Her breath rasped as his thumb grazed the corner of her lips, lingering there with a tenderness that sent shivers down her spine. His eyes softened, the golden flecks in them shimmering in the dim light and for a fleeting moment, she felt the only person in the world.“Lucy…” Aiden muttered, like a whisper.She didn't respond, her words caught somewhere between her chest and her throat. Instead, she held his gaze, her heart pounding so loudly she was sure he could hear it.And then he leaned in.It was slow at first, as if he was giving her the chance to pull away but Lucy didn't move. She couldn't. The moment his lips touched hers, the world seemed to tilt, everything else fading into i
Lucy stood frozen, her thoughts colliding like waves in a storm. How did he know? How much does he know? Aiden's words— “You don't have your wolf, do you?”---still hung in the air, heavy. She bit down her teeth, clenching her jaw tightened as she struggled to find a response.What could she even say? Admitting it felt like ripping herself open, exposing the raw, shameful truth of what she was. How would he see me if I told him? she thought. Would he look at me like everyone else does—like I'm broken? Or worse, would he pity me?Her fingers twisted together nervously and her gaze darted to the ground. The words clawed at her throat, desperate to be spoken but she couldn't quite bring herself to let them out. The silence stretched between them and the weight of it pressed against her chest.Aiden, however, remained calm. She could feel his eyes on her, steady and patient, like he was giving her space to come to terms with what he already knew. Slowly, he stepped closer and before she co
The scent got stronger with every step she took, pulling Lucy forward like a siren's song but the further she followed, the more uneasy she felt. Her boots clicked softly against the stone path and the night seemed to grow quieter, as if the air itself was holding its breath.She rounded a corner, her heart thudding against her ribs, and in no time, stepped into a space that seemed utterly forgotten. The clearing was small and enclosed by crumbling stone walls, patches of moss creeping up the edges. The moonlight itself barely reached there, though it still gave its dim light.At first, she thought the space was empty. But then her eyes caught a figure standing still in the center. Her breath hitched that instant.It wasn't Aiden.The figure was humanoid in shape but unmistakably wrong. Its skin was sickly green, a hue that gleamed faintly under the faint light. Its upper body was barely, revealing corded muscles that seemed carved from something unnatural. Long black slacks clung to
There stood Ethan, his expression a mix of surprise and urgency.“I…” Ethan began, his eyes darting between the two of them, taking in their closeness. He cleared his throat awkwardly, taking a step inside the room. “I'm sorry to interrupt, but your father—he’s asking for you. I think it's urgent.”Leo's hand dropped from Isabella's face, his jaw tightening as his composure returned. He stepped back, putting distance between them as if to sever the thread that has been connecting them moments ago.“Tell him I'll be there soon,” Leo said, his voice sharp, his tone dismissive.Ethan hesitated, glancing at Isabella then back at Leo. He gave a curt nod before stepping out, closing the door behind him.The silence in the room became deafening. Isabella stood still, her expression unreadable, though her lips were slightly parted as if she wanted to say something.“You should go, Leo… your father wants to see you…” She said finally, her voice quiet.Leo sighed and nodded, his brows knitting
Her words hit him like a slap and for a moment, something flickered in his expression—guilt, regret, maybe even shame. But it was gone as quickly as it appeared, replaced by the cold, unyielding mask he always wore.He stood there in silence, his gaze heavy as Isabella's words hung in the air. He didn't answer immediately, instead letting his eyes roam her face—searching for something, perhaps, or merely buying time.“Leo,” Isabella pressed, stepping closer, her voice soft yet insistent. “You can't keep avoiding this. Just tell me.”Her persuasion seemed to have him but yet, he didn't flinch, not yet. Instead, he sighed, his expression softening for the briefest moments. His hand moves almost instinctively, his fingers grazing her chin and sliding gently along her cheek. The touch was fleeting, like a whisper but it was enough to still the air between them.Isabella froze, her breath catching. The unexpected tenderness left her momentarily unguarded and she leaned into his hand, press
Leo's expression darkened, his instinct sharpening. He motioned for Ethan to stay quiet, then moved silently toward the door.Ethan's back pressed against the wall near the door, his shoulders rigid as his fingers splayed wide, trembling faintly as if longing to shift into claws. His breaths were shallow but controlled, his focus unyielding. He couldn't fully shift—not here, not now—but his instincts surged, the wolf within straining to break free.Leo moved into position, his body low and tense, a predator ready to strike. His gaze bore into the doors, his thoughts racing. Whoever stood outside, if they had heard too much, they wouldn't leave this room without consequences. His fists clenched, knuckles whitening, a slow exhale leaving his lips to steady the simmering rage beneath.The door creaked open, a sound so small yet magnified by the charged air in the room. Ethan raised his fists higher, his stance widening, every muscle coiled to unleash a decisive strike. His mind darted th
Leo paced his room, the floorboards groaning beneath his restless steps. His jaw clenched and unclenched as fragments of the past few days swirled in his mind like story clouds. His hands occasionally boiled into fists, then relaxed, only to tighten again. The room, bathed in the amber glow of the evening sun, felt oppressive, it's walls closing in on him as he pieces the puzzle together.Aiden's actions puzzled him more than he cared to admit. Why had Aiden chosen to punish Lucy that day, only to let her go without any consequences? It didn't add up. If it had been about discipline, Aiden would have seen it through and yet… he hadn't. He had simply asked her a few questions and since then, Lucy had been different.Leo whispered to himself. “What if Aiden didn't want to punish her at all? What if…” He stopped mid-pace, staring at the floor as the radiation hit himHe thought back to what Isabella had told him. Her words rang in his ears like a haunting melody. “What if Aiden is inter
“That's one of Aiden's guards,” Marie whispered, her voice low, eyes flicking nervously to the man. “What's he doing here?”Lucy swallowed, her pulse quickening in her chest. She hadn't expected this. Aiden? Why would he send one of his men here? But before she could process the thought, the guard's eyes met hers. He bowed his head slightly, acknowledging her presence.Lucy stood frozen, feeling the weight of his gaze. Marie nudged her lightly, raising an eyebrow. “Well, aren't you going to ask him what he wants?”Lucy blinked and nodded, taking a step forward, slowly. The guard's posture was stoic and though he was clearly waiting for something, there was jonsign of urgency in his demeanor. As she approached, Marie's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them.The guard cleared his throat softly and addressed Lucy. “Miss Lucy,” he said, his voice calm and composed. “Prince Aiden has requested your presence.”Lucy's gaze flicked over to Marie, unsure of how to react. She lifte
The smell of the stable was thick in the air, the sharp tang of hay and animal waste clinging to Lucy's senses. She gripped the wooden handle of the shovel, its rough texture grounding her as she stared down at the pile of straw and dung before her. But she wasn't really seeing it.Her mind was far away, replaying the events from the training ground. The clash between Leo and Aiden felt like a whirlwind in her memory. She could still see Aiden's swift movements, how effortlessly he had dodged Leo's initial attack. For a moment, it had seemed as though Aiden was untouchable, as if he was calculating every move before it happened. But then his focus had shifted—his gaze had locked with hers.Lucy felt her cheeks warm as she remembered the way their eyes had met. The intensity in his expression had been unlike anything she'd experienced before. And then he'd been hit.Her heart ached at the memory of Leo's fists connecting with Aiden, the force of each blow sending shockwaves through th
Lucy ran with every strength she'd got, crashing through the bushes and tall grasses of the forest, stumping on dried leaves and branches so that they made some creaking sounds. She peeked behind her, constantly as she made an effort to lose the guards that ran after her. She gasped and breathed heavily, holding on to the wish to outrun them. It was either to stop and be captured or run and stay alive. She could hear the sound of their footsteps which became more audible as she ran. The sound of their growls was scary enough to make her quiver and made her have thoughts of what might happen if she was to be caught She merely escaped from the Moonshine pack where she had to labor as a handmaid in the Royal residence of Alpha Eric and Luna Ava. Though she didn't work directly for them but for their daughter, Isabella. Though Isabella was not the biological daughter of Alpha Eric. She was the daughter of his Beta who died alongside him with his mate during a war. Alpha Eric had to tak...
