Third-Person Pov Lily's palms were slick with sweat as she crept down the dimly lit passageway towards Nancy. The weight of their secret bore down on her like an anvil, making her feel heavy inside. She was no stranger to carrying out Lady Kazia's requests, but this one felt different. It held a weight of deception that she had never felt before. Nancy stood at the end of the corridor, her expression unreadable in the shadows. She held out a small packet to Lily, who took it with shaking hands. "What is it?" she whispered, the sound somehow amplified in the silence. "It's a powder that Agrippina ordered for Lady Kazia's bath water," Nancy murmured, her voice low and urgent. "She must never know about this, Lily. You must not get caught." Lily nodded wordlessly, her heart beating faster inside her chest. The packet felt heavy in her pocket, laden with the weight of their treacherous plan. She had too many questions, but Nancy seemed to sense her hesitation and spoke before she coul
Third-Person Pov On a moonlit night, Lily, with a heavy heart and anxious steps, sought out her mistress’s friends, Lady Iris and Lady Elena, in their bedrooms. The dark pathway leading to the shared quarters of the pets seemed longer than ever, and every sound made by the insects and the movement of the guards from afar made her heart skip a beat. She knew she had to tell them about Kazia's hospitalization, regardless of how burdened she was by the guilt of being partly responsible for her mistress’s condition. Finally arriving at their door, Lily knocked softly, hoping she wouldn't wake any other curious ears. The door creaked open, revealing Iris, who seemed shocked to see Lily at her door. Fortunately for Lily, she didn’t have to go looking for Lady Elena in her room because Elena was already in Iris’s room. "Lily? What are you doing here at this hour?" Iris asked, concern etched on her face. "I apologize for showing up like this, Lady Iris, but I’m here because of Lady K
I commanded the attention of everyone present as I stood tall in the grand hall of the Silver Crest pack. Members of our pack's council of elders, who were knowledgeable and esteemed, sat in a semicircle in front of me. Anthony and Leo were two of them who had a big say in how the pack ran its business. I knew this meeting was inevitable; they had been pressing me to find Luna and produce an heir for quite some time. "Kavan," Elder Anthony began, his voice carrying the weight of age and experience, "you have been the Lycan king of the Silver Crest pack for a few years now. It is time for you to take a Luna and secure the pack's future." I met his gaze with determination, though my heart ached for a different outcome. "I understand the importance of finding a Luna, Elder Anthony. But I will not marry just anyone for the sake of convenience. My heart must be in it, and I must feel a true connection with her." Elder Leo, who had a reputation for being more pragmatic, interjected, "Ka
I sat in my office, the grandeur of the Silver Crest pack's headquarters surrounding me. The walls were adorned with symbols of our heritage, and the scent of ancient wood and earth filled the air. But despite the comfort of familiarity, my mind was clouded with thoughts of Kazia, my mate, who was far away in the Silver Dawn pack. Her memory haunted me like a constant ache, a reminder of what I couldn't have.As I brooded over these feelings, the door to my office creaked open, and Jason, my trusted friend and second-in-command, walked in. He was a fierce and loyal warrior, his dark hair and sharp eyes reflecting the strength within him."Kavan," he greeted me, "I heard rumors that the council had been pressuring you to find a Luna."I sighed heavily, my frustrations coming to the surface. "Yes, they have," I admitted. "I didn't expect them to bring it up so soon, and it feels like they are just looking for another reason to challenge my authority."Jason leaned against the desk, cros
Third-Person Pov News had reached him that Kazia, one of his pets, had been admitted to the infirmary due to a mysterious poison that caused severe itchiness and discomfort. Agrippina, his Luna, was by his side as they hurriedly made their way through the bustling corridors of the pack's headquarters.When they arrived at the infirmary, they were met by Elena and Iris, two of Murad's other pets who were close friends with Kazia. The tension in the air was palpable as Murad's piercing eyes searched for Kazia's room."How is she?" Murad's deep voice boomed with concern as he approached Elena and Iris."She's stable now, My King," Elena replied, her voice soft but tinged with worry. "The itching has subsided, but she still has a rash and is slightly reddish."Murad's heart clenched at the thought of Kazia in pain, though he couldn't shake the guilt that accompanied his concern. Kazia's hatred for him was evident, and he knew he was the cause of her suffering. Despite her resistance, he
Third-Person Pov In the opulent chambers of the Silver Dawn pack's castle, Agrippina, the Luna, paced restlessly. Her heart pounded with a mixture of guilt and satisfaction as she thought about Kazia, the pet of her mate, Murad, lying weak and sick in the infirmary. It had been her doing, and she couldn't help but revel in the fact that her plan seemed to be working.Unable to contain her curiosity, she called for Nancy, her loyal servant, hoping for an update on Kazia's condition."Nancy," she said, her voice tinged with false concern, "how is Kazia faring?"Nancy, ever the obedient servant, bowed slightly before replying, "She's slowly getting better, My Lady, but she still looks quite horrible."Agrippina's lips curled into a sinister smile at the news. She had orchestrated the poisoning, making sure that Kazia suffered just enough to keep her away from Murad's sight. The last thing she wanted was for him to feel any sympathy for the pet he had claimed as his own."And does Murad
In the dimly lit chambers of the Silver Dawn pack's castle, Agrippina sat alone, her mind swirling with deceit and treachery. Her plan to keep Kazia away from Murad had worked so far, but she couldn't shake the feeling that her web of lies was starting to unravel.Before she could dwell further on her schemes, the door to her room burst open, and Agrippina looked up in surprise to see Murad, his eyes ablaze with anger and fury. The air crackled with tension as he stormed into the room, his presence imposing and commanding."Agrippina," Murad growled, his voice low and dangerous. "I want the truth, and I want it now. Were you behind Kazia's ailment? Did you have something to do with her being taken to the hospital?"Agrippina's heart raced, and she quickly composed herself, feigning innocence. "I have no idea what you're talking about, Murad. I would never harm anyone, especially not Kazia."Murad's eyes narrowed, and his patience seemed to wear thin. "Don't play games with me, Agrippi
As the sun began to set over the vast territory of the Silver Crest pack, I sat at my desk in my office, contemplating the events of the day. The responsibilities of being the Lycan King weighed heavily on my shoulders, but I had always managed to handle them with grace and determination.As I was lost in my thoughts, a sudden knock on the door interrupted my solitude. "Come in," I called out, curious to see who sought my attention at this hour.To my surprise, when the door swung open, I found myself looking at a face I didn't recognize. A young lady, with striking hazel eyes and fiery red hair, stood before me. Her presence in my office was unexpected, and I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in question."Who are you?" I inquired, trying to keep my tone neutral.The lady stepped forward with a hint of nervousness in her expression. "My name is Gracie, Your Majesty. I'm the daughter of Robles, a council member of the Silver Crest pack."I nodded, recalling Robles as one of the more
