Hello, are you still reading up to this point? Tell me if you love the story :)
Leonora was surprised when Dante asked about Darlyn. She wondered why he didn't know where her daughter was. However, she decided not to dwell on it and instead focused on their plans for the library. She called for her housemaids to bring them snacks and led Dante to the room. Once they were settled in, Leonora asked Dante what was on his mind. "Leonora," he said, pulling away from her. "We need to talk." The smile faded from her face, and she looked at him with concern. "Is everything okay, Dante?" He took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves. "No, it's not. I need to tell you something, and I don't know how to say it." Leonora's expression grew serious. "Whatever it is, Dante, you can tell me." Dante took a deep breath and gathered his courage. He looked at Leonora and said, "I'm sorry. But I don't think I can marry your daughter." Leonora's eyes widened in shock, but she didn't seem angry. "What do you mean, Dante? You can't just break off the engagement like that." D
ANNA As I paced back and forth in the living room, I couldn't help but feel anxious. Dante had told me earlier that he was going to meet someone important today, but it was already dinner time and he wasn't answering my messages. I knew he could take care of himself, but my mind kept conjuring up all sorts of negative scenarios. What if he got into an accident? What if someone hurt him? What if he was kidnapped by some supernatural creature? I shook my head, trying to rid myself of these irrational thoughts, but they wouldn't go away. I didn't want to eat dinner alone. I always wanted to be with Dante. I wanted to eat beside him and have him tell me about his day. But now, as I sat at the table staring at my food, I couldn't even take a bite. I kept glancing at my phone, hoping for a message or a call from Dante. But there was nothing. Minutes later, I saw Dante's car pull up in front of the house. I immediately ran to him, feeling relieved but also annoyed. Why did he have to worry
Dante's eyes fluttered open as the first rays of sunlight peeked through the window. He took a deep breath, inhaling the sweet scent of his mate Anna that still lingered in the air. He couldn't help but smile as he gazed at her peaceful form lying beside him. Anna looked so beautiful in her sleep, her chest rising and falling in a slow, steady rhythm. Her hair was splayed across the pillow, and her face was relaxed, free from the worries and stresses of the day before. Dante couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over him as he watched her. He knew that he had to get up and start the day, but he didn't want to disturb Anna's peaceful slumber. So he lay there for a few more minutes, just enjoying the quiet and stillness of the morning. Finally, Dante summoned the willpower to get up and start the day. He slipped out of bed as quietly as he could, trying not to disturb Anna. He took a quick shower, relishing in the hot water that washed away the last remnants of sleep from
Dante and Anna had been together for months, and their love had only grown stronger with each passing day. Dante had marked Anna as his mate, binding their souls together for eternity. As the sun began to set on the eve of their anniversary, Dante couldn't help but feel nervous. He had decided that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Anna, and he planned to ask her to marry him tomorrow. He had spent weeks planning the perfect proposal and had even picked out the ring. Unbeknownst to Dante, his father Donovan, the Lycan King of their pack, had become concerned about his son's future. Donovan had ordered one of his most trusted men to follow Dante's every move and report back to him. Donovan wanted to make sure that Dante was making the right decisions for the pack and himself. The man reported to Donovan with a sense of urgency in his voice. "My King, I have important news. Your son Dante is planning to marry Anna White, the rankless wolf." "What? Marriage? He thinks he ca
ANNA As I slept, I was lost in a good dream. I was running through the forest with my wolf, feeling the wind in my hair, and the freedom of the hunt. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder and I was jolted awake. Dante was standing over me, his face a mask of urgency. "Anna," he said, "You need to wake up. Take a quick shower and pack your things, we’re moving out of here,” I was confused and groggy, but I could sense the tension in the air. "What's going on?" I asked him, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. “We need to run away from the Henesy, away from the Black Pearl Pack. Come on, I’ll explain everything later. Please trust me, Anna,” There’s a pleading in his tone. “Why… why do we need to do that, Dante?” Dante didn't answer me directly. Instead, he told me to take a quick shower and pack all of my important things. I could see the fear in his eyes, and it sent a shiver down my spine. I quickly got dressed and did as he asked, my heart pounding in my chest. As I got dressed a
ANNA I wiped my tears and looked at Dante with determination in my eyes. I couldn't let Dante give up everything for me. I loved him too much to let him do that. "I won't let you do that, Dante," I said firmly. "I won't let you give up your future and your dreams for me." Dante smiled at me and cupped my face with his hands. "Anna, you are my future and my dream," he said. "Without you, I have nothing. I don't care about the Lycan King title or the company. All I care about is you. You are my everything." I felt my heart swell with love for Dante. I leaned in and kissed him passionately. We broke apart, panting, and Dante leaned his forehead against me. "I have a plan, Anna," he said. "We can run away together, start a new life where no one knows us. We can live in a small town, get married, and start a family. We can be happy together, just the two of us." I smiled at Dante. I loved his idea, but I knew it wasn't that simple. "Dante, we can't just run away like that," I said. "You
ANNA As I watched Dante walk into our safe house, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of worry. It had been a month since we had fled from the Black River Pack, and while we were finally free, life was hard. Especially for Dante. He wasn't used to living without money and his father's connections. But he refused to admit it to me. I knew he was struggling, though. He spent long hours working as a construction worker in the small town we had settled in. It was hard, physical work, and it took a toll on him. But he never complained. And I admired him for that. I did what I could to help him, too. I sold food from house to house, using my cooking skills to earn some extra money for us. It wasn't much, but it helped. And it was something we could do together. But sometimes, I couldn't help feeling sorry for Dante. He had grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth, and now he was struggling to make ends meet. It wasn't fair. But life wasn't fair, and we had to make the best of what we had.
ANNA As we settled in for the night, Dante wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close. "I love you, Anna," he whispered in my ear. "I love you too, Dante," I replied, snuggling into his embrace. And at that moment, all the struggles and hardships faded away. Because we had each other. And that was enough. The next morning, I woke up to Dante's smiling face. He was practically bouncing with excitement as he told me that someone was impressed with his work. I couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm. "Who was it?" I asked, sitting up in bed. "It was a rich guy who just built a new house," Dante replied. "He saw some of my interior designs and was really impressed. He wants me to design his entire house." "That's amazing, Dante!" I exclaimed, feeling a surge of pride for him. "I hope you will get paid well for your hard work,” Dante's face lit up even more. "I will be compensated a lot. Enough to cover our expenses for a while and even save up some money." I couldn't help but
DANTEThe weight of worry sat heavily on my shoulders as I stood there, my gaze fixed on the empty space that Lyza should have occupied. The minutes ticked by with excruciating slowness, each second intensifying my concern for her safety. It was as if the walls of the room were closing in on me, suffocating me with the uncertainty of her whereabouts.But between my frantic thoughts, a familiar voice cut through the haze of anxiety. Leonora Taylor, a respected figure within the pack, had arrived on time. Her concern was evident in the lines etched across her aged face."Dante, is it true? Lyza is missing?" Her voice held a mixture of worry and empathy, her eyes reflecting the genuine concern she felt for both Lyza and me.I offered her a tight-lipped nod, my voice carrying a heaviness that mirrored the turmoil within me. "Thanks for the concern, Leonora. But yes, she's missing. She didn't show up."The kindness in Leonora's gaze softened her features as she stepped closer. "I'll help y
LYZA “I know I owe you an explanation, my daughter, Anna,” Estella smirked at me. Daughter? What? A wave of emotions crashed over me – disbelief, anger, and a deep-seated ache that I couldn't quite place. The very core of who I believed myself to be was unraveling before my eyes. "I'm not Anna! I’m not your daughter! I'm Lyza Pressman!" I protested, my voice quivering with a mix of frustration and confusion. Estella's eyes bore into mine, an unsettling mixture of triumph and malice dancing within them. "No matter what you say, Lyza. I knew it. You can't lie to me. I know it's you, my always good daughter, Anna!" My fists clenched, nails digging into my palms as her taunts grated against my already frayed nerves. "Stop talking too much! And tell me the fuck you want!" I shouted, the words escaping my lips before I could even fully process them. She chuckled, seemingly unfazed by my outburst. "Well, you are right. But since I'm too generous, I will tell you the truth about yourself
LYZAI struggled against the restraints, my heart pounding in my chest as Estella's anger escalated. The fear and confusion were etched across my face as I desperately tried to make them understand that I had no knowledge of what they were accusing me of. But their relentless pursuit for answers pushed them further into darkness.Estella's grip tightened on my hair, yanking my head backward. The cold, hard drum pressed against the back of my skull, causing chills to run down my spine. My eyes widened in terror as I realized what they intended to do.The room fell silent, save for the sound of water dripping rhythmically onto the drum's surface. The tension in the air was suffocating, each passing second feeling like an eternity. Estella's cold eyes bore into mine, demanding a response that I couldn't provide."Speak, Lyza!" she hissed through clenched teeth, her voice dripping with venom. "Tell us what we want to know, or this drum will become your worst nightmare! Don’t make me mad,
DANTEI paced back and forth in the office, my eyes constantly glancing at the wall clock as each minute ticked by with agonizing slowness. Lyza was never late, let alone two hours late for an important meeting like this. Something wasn't right, and my worry grew with each passing moment.I tried to convince myself to stay calm, to trust that there must be a reasonable explanation for her absence. Perhaps there was an unexpected complication, a delay beyond her control. But the nagging sense of unease gnawed at me, refusing to be silenced by logic.I reached for my phone, my hands trembling slightly as I dialed Lyza's number. The sound of the dial tone seemed to mock me, a constant reminder of the unanswered call. I tried again, hoping for a different outcome, but the result remained the same—her phone was out of coverage.My mind raced with countless possibilities, each one more troubling than the last. What if something terrible had happened to her? What if she was in danger and una
LYZAThe door creaked open, revealing the silhouette of Philip, a chill ran down my spine. His face twisted into a sinister grin, his eyes gleaming with a malevolence that sent shivers through my already shaken form. He was the embodiment of a wicked antagonist, straight out of a nightmare.I strained to articulate my words, my voice trembling with a mix of anger and fear, but Philip merely chuckled, relishing in his cruel game. He taunted me, claiming he couldn't comprehend my muffled pleas. His laughter grated on my nerves, a twisted melody that underscored his malevolent intentions.With a twisted satisfaction, Philip removed the tape that had silenced me, his smirk growing wider as he allowed me to speak. I glared at him, my eyes burning with a fiery rage that demanded answers. This man, who had been a stranger just moments ago, had betrayed my kindness, exploiting my goodwill for his sinister agenda."How dare you, Philip!" I spat, my voice laced with indignation. "How could you
LYZAI made my way towards the meeting place with Dante, when a voice called out my name, causing me to turn in surprise. My eyes fell upon an elderly man standing a few feet away. His weathered appearance spoke volumes of a life filled with hardship and struggle. Yet, despite his disheveled appearance, I held no judgment, for I had learned never to judge someone based on their external circumstances.Approaching the old man with genuine curiosity, I offered a polite smile. “Hi! Is there something I could help you with, sir?” His eyes crinkled with a hint of warmth as he returned my smile. He mentioned feeling honored to see me in person and spoke of hearing favorable compliments about me within the Black Pearl Pack. “By the way, my name is Philip. I’m also a member of Black Pearl Pack. But my wife and I are just omegas,” Curiosity piqued, I couldn't help but wonder what he wanted from me. Was it merely a chance encounter, or did he harbor ulterior motives beneath his humble facade?
LYZAI am about to meet Dante today. The anticipation mingled with a deep sense of contentment within me. The smile on my face seemed to reflect the happiness that bloomed in my heart. Everything was falling into place, and I couldn't help but be grateful for the events that had unfolded."What if I tell Dante the truth?" I whispered to myself, my voice barely audible above the soft hum of the car's engine. The thought played like a gentle melody in my mind, twirling with uncertainty and hope. The mission given to me by the Moon Goddess had been accomplished, and justice had been served for Anna.But as I pondered revealing my true purpose to Dante, conflicting emotions tugged at my heart. How could I possibly leave this life, this newfound connection, behind? My heart had intertwined itself with Dante's, beating in unison, and the mere thought of walking away left an ache within me.Lost in my thoughts, the passing scenery blurred outside the car window, mirroring the whirlwind of em
Darlyn's gaze shifted from Philip to the elderly woman standing before him, and a wave of revulsion washed over her. Estella White, Anna's mother, bore a striking resemblance to a wicked stepmother straight out of a fairy tale. Her disheveled appearance and haggard expression only intensified Darlyn's disdain.Darlyn cleared her throat, preparing to introduce herself, but before she could utter a word, Estella's eyes widened with recognition. The woman's arms shot out, encircling Darlyn in a tight embrace. Darlyn recoiled, a mixture of disgust and irritation twisting her features."What are you doing, old woman?" Darlyn snapped, her voice laced with contempt. "A pathetic creature like you shouldn't dare to touch someone of my stature!”Estella's grip tightened, oblivious to Darlyn's disdain. A flicker of longing danced in her eyes, a deep-seated desire hidden behind her worn exterior. Darlyn couldn't fathom what could possibly draw such a woman to her, nor did she care to find out.Es
Darlyn stepped into the bleak streets of Ovion City, a place devoid of life and hope. The air hung heavy with the scent of despair, mingling with the lingering stench of poverty and desperation. Dilapidated buildings lined the worn-out roads, their weary facades telling stories of struggles and shattered dreams. The city seemed frozen in time, a forgotten corner where rogues and outcasts sought refuge.As she approached the White's home, the sight before her was even more dismal than she had anticipated. The house stood in disarray, its weathered walls and crumbling structure bearing witness to years of neglect. The roof sagged under the weight of time, its once vibrant color faded to a muted gray. The gate, rusted and crooked, gave an eerie impression of a barricade warding off unwanted visitors.A wave of revulsion washed over Darlyn as she stepped closer, the putrid odor assaulting her senses. She wrinkled her nose in disdain, but her determination remained unwavering. This rundown
