Tied......"If one of the maids touches anything, I'll have their heads," Veronica spat. "No one but me has permission to enter this library. Well, at least except for Lucas and Simon, but still, they barely come in here, so I more or less have full authority over this place."I could feel the heat of her anger radiating from the other side of the shelf. She was so close now that I could hear her breathing."Let’s go. We’ll search the rooms later. I need to find those papers before anyone notices they’re missing."I waited until I was sure the sound of their footsteps had faded into the distance before daring to move. My heart was still racing, but I couldn't afford to linger any longer. I had to get these documents out of here—and fast.I slipped out of the library, carefully closing the door behind me. As I moved through the halls, my mind raced. Veronica’s schemes were deeper than I had realized, and I still wasn’t sure of the full extent of her plans. How she even got alerted abou
Work together...The ceremony ended with applause, but it felt hollow to me. As the crowd began to disperse, I moved to leave the hall, eager to be anywhere but here. Before I could slip away, Lucas caught up to me.“We need to talk,” he said quietly, his expression serious.I didn’t respond at first, just nodded, leading him down a quieter hallway away from the prying eyes of the court. When we reached an empty room, I turned to face him.“What is it?” I asked, folding my arms.“We can’t keep avoiding this,” he said, his eyes searching mine. “I know you’re doing this for the children, but we need to work together if we’re going to make things easier for them as time passes. We have a lot of enemies, and trust me, they’re not going to sit idly by after today.”“You don’t have to tell me twice,” I scoffed as I murmured under my breath. Lucas and Simon were so focused on the external enemies they had, while the biggest one, however, resided in this house with us. He looked at me as if c
Who are you???**Veronica's POV**They had gone ahead with their stupid plans, and I honestly wasn't as affected as I had expected to feel. Since the meeting with the elders concluded, preparations were casually being made for the marriage ritual between Lucas, Simon, and Ashley. The idea obviously wasn't pleasant to me, but there was really nothing I could do, especially given the fact that Lucas and Simon were on board with it. At the end of the day, the elders can only suggest something alongside its consequences, but the final say always comes from none other than both Lucas and Simon. While the ceremony went on downstairs, I remained in my room, reflecting on what steps to take next. On one hand, there were the missing papers that contained my signed agreements with a couple of individuals I had interacted with in the past to give out the mansion's secrets. I had gone into the library and couldn't find some of them where I had carefully placed them. At that moment, I wasn't thin
"I’m not your enemy, Veronica. In fact, I really don’t want to be. But you have to understand—""I understand perfectly," I cut her off, my voice rising. "You’ve charmed everyone with your little act, pretending to be so kind, so humble, but I see right through you."The cooks stood awkwardly by, unsure of what to do, their eyes darting between us. I could sense their fear of getting caught in the middle of this power struggle, and that only fueled my anger more. They had already chosen to follow her orders over mine. My own authority was slipping, and I could feel it slipping faster with every moment she remained in the mansion.Ashley took a step back, exhaling softly. "I’m not here to argue with you. If you want to eat something else and not the lunch order I made, fine. I’m not going to make this a bigger issue than it needs to be." She glanced at the cooks. "Just make sure to let me know next time if she has given an order for lunch so that we can easily avoid these unnecessary i
Burning Inside"Run, Ashley! Keep running!" My mother's voice pierced through the chaos as flames devoured the pack, once my sanctuary. It was my negligence that led to this devastation—I ignored my father's warnings.I should have resigned myself to fate, accepted the role of the monster's prey, rather than witnessing my pack reduced to cinders.But my feet remained rooted to the scorched earth, paralyzed by fear. I couldn't move, not when my mother fell, pierced by ten bullets from that malevolent man.“Mum,” I whispered, witnessing her collapse. Tears streamed down her face, yet even in her final moments, she urged, “Run… run.”As she crumpled to the ground, the heartless figure emerged—a towering presence with a formidable build and eyes as dark as midnight. None other than Alpha Klaus, sovereign of the West Moon Pack.“Hello, my dear bride!” His smirk revealed a cruel anticipation, arms outstretched as if awaiting an embrace.“Stay away from me, you monster!” My scream echoed, a
- Sold Out My nightmare has become my reality. It has been a straight week in Alpha Klaus's Pack house, and my body already looks disgusting and terrible.It's as though the Moon goddess hates me so much, or why else would she make me do the exact opposite thing? When they instruct me to move to the left, I end up going to the right.When I am asked to speak, my lips won't open. Fate works in reverse for me. If I sow good, I reap evil.That's the reason why, while serving with my head down, trying to make myself smaller than my small frame, I trip on a fair leg, my tray of wine flying from my hands and tumbling to the ground, crashing loudly and spilling its red content against the pale, fair feet of Alpha Klaus's daughter in the middle of his speech. I raise my head and catch Alpha Klaus's gaze, and at that moment, my heart beats wildly.A few seconds pass before Alpha Klaus’s daughter lets out a horrific scream, one accompanied by a thunderous slap, as if she has to process that I'
- MY MATE ARE ALPHASI groggily opened my eyes, the world still blurry. Closing them again, I waited a moment before daring to reopen them, greeted by the sight of a middle-aged lady seated across from me."You're awake," her voice drew nearer as she approached, but I couldn't muster the energy to keep my eyes open. I wondered why I hadn't simply passed on to the Nine Dimensions, ending my suffering and disastrous life."How is she doing?" A deep voice broke through my thoughts, and I struggled to identify its owner."Yes, Alpha. But she hasn't fully regained consciousness yet," the lady replied, prompting me to open my eyes once more.Before me stood a tall, elegant man, his black jacket failing to conceal his muscular frame. He was undeniably handsome, surpassing any male wolf I had ever laid eyes on. Was he even real?"Your name?" His voice sent shivers down my spine as I struggled to respond."Uh, erm…" I stammered, scanning the luxurious, neatly decorated room. Sitting up, I furr
Embarrassed 🔥🔥The next morning, I woke up to find myself back in my bedroom. It was just me on the bed, and I couldn't help but think back on all that had happened the previous night.Having Lucas stand against even his own twin for me was definitely something I just couldn't bring myself to believe. For the first time in my entire life, I actually felt loved and wanted, and it felt really good. I remembered how he touched me, taking in every bit of me as we both got lost in ecstasy. The deeper he went into me, the more awakened my wolf felt, and as he traced every inch of my body, the oddly satisfying sensation of pleasure and pain increased with every progressing pace he took.Lost in my thoughts, I happily hummed a song as I sat up on the bed, a cheeky smile plastered on my face. For the very first time, I actually enjoyed the experience of making love, and to say that I was in another world with Lucas would definitely be an understatement. Back when I was still with Alpha Klaus
