I was infuriated by her actions, my frustration rising as I watched her casually dismiss Sage’s apology. The air felt tense and heavy, the room filled with the sound of our heated argument. The scent of frustration and misunderstanding lingered in the air, adding to the growing tension. Renna, as the Luna of our pack, should know better. I longed for her to see beyond her constant suspicion, to realise that Saga was nothing more than a dear friend to me. If only she could truly understand.

I know she is only looking out for me in her own way, but how can she think that my two best friends are against me? They have been nothing but supportive. I stride through the bustling camp, the scent of damp earth and burning wood filling the air. I make my way towards the main tent, its flaps billowing in the gentle breeze. Inside, the voices of soldiers discussing battle plans echo, punctuated by the occasional clink of armour. The weight of exhaustion settles upon me, and I yearn for th

    Renna Clad in my adopted disguise once more, I blended into the surroundings. Leo’s mind linked me a message, instructing me to stick close to him once the battle erupted, promising protection. The metallic scent of anticipation hung heavy in the air as warriors prepared for the impending clash. I couldn’t help but wonder whether Xavier’s ignorance of my whereabouts was a blessing or a curse, but I resolved that he would sense my safety through our bond, and that would have to be enough. I was seething with anger, still furious at him for even suggesting the idea of having a baby. How dare he? I refused to be treated like a mere object, a prized cow to be impregnated at his whims. And to make matters worse, the way he had been knotting me during our recent encounters, it seemed like a baby would be inevitable anyway. The urge to punch him in the face surged through me, but luck wasn’t on my side. As he pressed his magical beast against me, I could only shoot him a piercing glare. The

    RennaI quietly trailed behind them along the familiar path I had taken that evening with my parents, my footsteps barely audible on the damp ground. The scent of damp earth mingled with the faint aroma of blooming flowers, filling the air. As they suddenly halted, I swiftly ducked into the dense bushes, my heart pounding in my chest. A sense of eerie familiarity washed over me, like a wave of déjà vu, as I peered through the foliage at the couple standing in the small clearing.They held hands, their fingers intertwined, as they swung them together. The sound of their laughter filled the air, blending with the gentle rustle of leaves overhead. He pulled her close, his touch firm yet gentle, his hand cupping her ass. She looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with a mix of surprise and affection, a soft smile playing on her lips. The scent of the surrounding flowers wafted through the air, adding a touch of sweetness to the moment.As I watched them, I couldn’t help but marvel at their

    Renna As their passionate kiss endured, time seemed to stretch endlessly. A sickening sensation crept into my stomach, filling it with bile. The sound of his hand smacking her ass echoed, accompanied by the intensifying rhythm of their grinding bodies. The clearing was empty, with only me as a witness to this intimate act. But amidst the turmoil, I yearned to know what Ethan had said. If my suspicions were confirmed, a desire to take justice into my own hands surged within me, willing to go as far as murder. “Oh Ethan,” she pleads, her voice filled with a delicate mix of desire and anticipation, as he tenderly kisses her up and down her neck. A soft moan escapes her lips, blending with the gentle rustle of their breaths mingling in the air. His right hand, warm and possessive, caresses her breast, his touch firm yet sensuous. A rush of pleasure courses through her, causing her to pant with a heady mix of ecstasy and longing. “You’re so bad,” she whispered, her voice dripping with de

    Renna Lia’s hands tightly closed around my body, effortlessly hoisting me from the ground. The air rushed past my ears as I dangled helplessly, suspended in her surprising strength. Her eyes bore into mine, a mix of anger and apprehension flickering across her face. With a sneer, she uttered, “You shouldn’t be here, Renna,” before abruptly releasing me. The impact with the floor sent a jolt of pain through my body, but I managed to gather myself and meet her gaze. Though her fury was evident, I couldn’t help but notice a hint of fear shimmering in her eyes. I gaze at her, the soft sunlight filtering through the leaves casting a play of shadows on her face. My eyes narrow as I catch a glimpse of something... Is it a bruise or just a trick of the light? I can’t be certain. Concern fills my voice as I inquire, “What happened to your face?” My fingertips lightly graze her skin, revealing a few more faint purple marks. A surge of protectiveness engulfs me, and I can’t help but wonder if E

    RennaI anxiously waited, my breath held, eager for Lia to open up. Her desire to share was palpable, and I hoped she would reveal the thoughts swirling in her mind. In a tremulous exhale, she averted her gaze towards the earth below. The rustling leaves whispered melodies as the wind swept through, enveloping us in its gentle caress.“Ethan... he’s not the person I believed him to be... not who you believed him to be,” she whispers, her delicate fingers gently tucking strands of her lustrous, ebony hair behind her ear. Her eyes, heavy with sorrow, remain fixed on the ground, emitting an aura of profound sadness that evokes sympathy within me.“Just tell me, Lia. I can handle it,” I encourage, although uncertainty gnaws at me. She shoots me a penetrating look before scanning the surroundings, her eyes filled with caution. Finally, she gestures for us to retreat behind the bush. As she does, I notice a slight grimace flash across her face, a fleeting moment of pain. My eyes widen in con

    Renna As I gaze at Lia, a sense of unease washes over me. A cool breeze sends shivers down my spine, and I can’t shake the feeling that Ethan could emerge from the nearby bushes at any moment. My heart pounds in my chest, and beads of perspiration form on my forehead. The gentle rustling of leaves accompanies her cautious step towards me, blending with the haunting melody of the wind. “You’re too late, Renna,” she whispers, her voice laced with a chilling certainty. The sound echoes off the dimly lit trees, shadows dance from the leaves, their eerie shapes mirroring the impending doom that hangs in the air. Her steps are deliberate, each one bringing her closer to me. I can feel the weight of her presence, suffocating and heavy, as if the ground itself is closing in on me. My heart pounds relentlessly in my chest, its rhythm a symphony of fear and anticipation. She stops just a few feet away, her eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that sends shivers down my spine. I can almost

    Xavier I had carefully followed her scent to locate her tent, but to my dismay, she wasn’t there. A wave of worry washed over me, aware of her tendency to act impulsively when enraged. I attempted to connect with her through our bond, but it felt as though she had erected a barrier, blocking me out. A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I exited her tent, my footsteps echoing through the makeshift campsite. When tomorrow’s dawn breaks, promising an eventful day. As I prepare myself, a subtle tension lingers in the air, heightening my senses. The faint aroma of anticipation fills the room, mingling with the steady hum of excitement. Ethan, an enigma in his own right, has unveiled an unexpected depth of cunning, surpassing even my keenest predictions. As I make my way back to my tent, the soft crunch of leaves beneath my boots fills my ears. The flickering glow of the campfire casts dancing shadows on the ground, creating an atmosphere of warmth and cosiness. The smell of smoke lingers in t

    Cole I observed with a heavy heart as Sage and Xavier strolled away, their arms entwined, engrossed in lively conversation and laughter. The sight gnawed at me; she is mine. He had his opportunity, and if he truly desired her, he should have fought for her. Defied the council, disregarded their rules, and claimed her as his own. Now, we all reside in this strange state of uncertainty, where they continuously gravitate back to each other. This is precisely why I despise him. The way he effortlessly attains everything he desires, without putting in any effort, makes me seethe with anger. It’s all because he holds the position of the alpha, asserting dominance over others. However, I’ve witnessed firsthand how he mistreats Renna, causing my disdain for him to intensify. He manipulates their mate bond, coercing her to remain by his side. The whole situation reeks of desperation and despair. I choose to trail behind them, my eyes fixated on Sage. She belongs to me, and no other man will

    Renna We had been living in our cosy bubble of three for several weeks now. Me, Xavier, and Orion. The soft glow of the evening sun streamed through the curtains, casting warm hues across our living room. Xavier’s idea to name our son after my beloved dad filled my heart with joy. It had been just the three of us, cherishing every moment as a family. But tonight, I was eagerly bursting our bubble for a long-awaited date with my captivating alpha.

    Renna “Push, Luna,” the midwife urges, her voice firm yet gentle, as I growl in her face. The sterile hospital room is filled with the rhythmic beeping of machines and the faint scent of antiseptic. Childbirth, a relentless storm of agony, floods my senses, making me question why anyone willingly endures this. No wonder I was an only child. Xavier, my partner, hovers around me like an annoying fly, fussing over me incessantly. The pain, like a thousand fiery tendrils, wracks my body as I summon every ounce of strength to push our precious baby into the world. “Ren, you’re doing amazing!” Xavier’s voice resonates with pride and excitement as he gently wipes the sweat off my forehead. I have to remind myself of my love for this man, even as I glare at his infuriating face for being the reason behind my pregnancy. A low growl escapes my lips, but he remains undeterred, his eyes filled with adoration. I can hear the rhythmic beeping of the heart rate monitor, a constant reminder of the l

    Xavier As I poured my heart out to her, the words flowed like a river. Was she merely manipulating me, using my vulnerabilities against me? The air felt heavy with tension as her words echoed in the room. “You rejected me, Xavier. I was destined to be the luna of this pack. he goddess ensured it and then you didn’t want me … I wasn’t good enough for you!” The scent of her anger hung in the air, mixing with the musky aroma of the room. Her words hit me like a wave, leaving me speechless and bewildered. “Sage, none of that is true,” I say, my voice filled with desperation, the words hanging in the air between us. I continue, my words tinged with sadness, “Yes, I rejected you, but it wasn’t my choice. The council forced me to do it.” I pause, hoping she will understand. Her head shakes, her eyes filled with disbelief, as if I am spinning a web of lies. “I was happy for you to be my mate,” I whisper, my voice breaking. I can feel the weight of the words, heavy on my chest. The room sud

    Xavier Now that Ren had regained her memories, life was filled with an undeniable sense of contentment. The sun’s warm rays gently caressed our faces as we strolled hand in hand through the park, birds singing their melodious tunes. I shared the news of the pregnancy, and though initially taken aback, her eyes sparkled with joy, mirroring the vibrant colours of the blooming flowers around us. I couldn’t help but notice the tender way she delicately rubbed her belly, a radiant smile adorning her face, as if whispering sweet secrets to our growing little pup. It was in those moments, when she thought I wasn’t looking, that I felt an overwhelming sense of love and anticipation. The weight of past worries and anxieties had dissolved, allowing us to embrace the future together, free from the burdens that once weighed us down. There was just one final task lingering before us, a mere formality standing between us and pure bliss. As we savored the moment, the air was filled with tranquilit

    Xavier Over the course of a few more weeks, I’ve noticed a significant change in Ren’s demeanour towards me. As I continue to work from home, our bond has grown stronger, and she now frequently sits beside me, her presence a comforting companion. However, the memory of our shared kiss lingers vividly in my mind, like a faint whisper of a distant melody. It’s been a while since that intimate moment, and while I sensed her enjoyment, a palpable restraint now holds her back. I attempt to read this email once again, but she becomes a constant distraction. Today, she deliberately dons an outfit that captures my attention. Her choice of tiny short shorts reveals the alluring curve of her silhouette with every step she takes. The sight of her crop top, barely concealing her ample cleavage with its deep V-neck, creates an irresistible temptation. I struggle to resist the overwhelming desire to approach her and give in to our carnal desires. I have been partially concealed behind the sturdy

    Renna I had spent a week in my so-called home, surrounded by familiar yet unfamiliar faces. Xavier, my companion, had rarely shown up at his workplace, instead opting to take me to my former workplace. There, amidst the bustling sounds and smells, I encountered a girl named Elara, her laughter filling the air like a melodic symphony, and a guy called Leo, his presence commanding yet comforting. Now, Leo had risen to the rank of beta within the pack. But as I observed them, I couldn’t shake the nagging thought that they could be more than mere acquaintances. They could be my long-lost siblings, hidden in the depths of my forgotten memories. Xavier’s words echoed in my ears, leaving me with a sense of emptiness. He claimed that I was an orphan, with no remaining family except for him. Conflicting emotions surged within me, unsure of how to process this revelation. As I glanced at myself in the mirror, my gaze fixated on the sight of my mate mark, while occasionally stealing glances at

    Xavier “I hope these words help jog your memory. But Ren, please know I would never hurt you.” The soft glow of the lamp envelops us as she nods, her eyes filled with trust. As I pass her the book, our fingers brush, sending a tingle down my spine. It kills me that this fleeting touch is the only physical connection we can share. “I... I know,” she smiles warmly at me, the corners of her lips lifting ever so slightly. In that moment, a glimmer of hope ignites within me, like a tiny flame flickering to life. With delicate hands, she takes the books from me, their weight transferring from my palms to hers. As she flips through the pages, the sound of paper rustling fills the room, a soft whisper that mingles with the hushed anticipation hanging in the air. Her eyes fixate on certain photos, her gaze lingering on them for what feels like an eternity. I watch intently, wondering if those images hold the power to jog her memory. “Xavier? Please, can you not hover,” she states, her voice

    Xavier We patiently waited for Renna to settle in, giving her a few days to find her bearings. Though she couldn’t recall my identity, the doctor assured us that being in the comfort of our own home would aid in triggering her memory. The familiar sights, the soothing scents, and the comforting ambiance of home were believed to be the key to her recovery. I prayed that my efforts were sufficient, but her wariness lingered, tormenting me. The urge to embrace and kiss her consumed me, but I couldn’t bear to see fear in my mate’s eyes. The weight of her past amplified my struggle; everyone she recalls is gone, leaving me alone to reassure her. It’s a battle of my words against her fading memories, an agonizing challenge. The doctor’s words echoed in my mind, leaving me with a heavy heart. There was no time frame for this, no definitive end in sight. All I could do was hope that once we returned home, things would improve. But the thought of not being able to sleep beside her, to feel t

    Renna I felt the warmth of his lips, a surge of sparks coursing through my veins. The sensation was exquisite, unlike anything I had ever experienced. It ignited a fire within me, spreading throughout my entire being, making every inch of my body feel hot and alive. The intense feeling travelled downwards, settling between my legs, creating a pulsating desire I had never known before. As I slowly opened my eyes, I heard a faint beeping sound, blending with the gentle sunlight that streamed through the partially closed blinds. The room seemed to come into focus, revealing an incredibly handsome man before me. His strong hands gently cupped my cheeks as he showered my face with kisses. My heart raced, confusion flooding my mind. Who was this man? Where was Ethan? Feeling a surge of panic, I instinctively pulled away from his touch. His eyes widened slightly, a flicker of hurt flashing across his face. “Who are you?” I rasp, my voice hoarse and strained. He slowly withdraws his hands
