******************************************************

The scent of mahogany and aged tobacco clung to the air like an old ghost, curling through the velvet-draped study as Zeno paced across the floor. A storm roared in his chest, but his steps were calm—measured, even. He hated when he lost control. The smashed wineglass glittered in the corner, a silent reminder of that slip.

He pressed a finger to his temple, breathing through his nose, then exhaled with a soft hiss.

“Tell me again,” he said, his voice icy smooth.

The man standing by the doorway—a lean figure in a gray suit—cleared his throat. “Mr. Black is asking questions in Rosedale. He’s already spoken to the Lennox family.”

Zeno’s jaw tightened. “And?”

“They’re cooperating.”

Zeno turned sharply, the sudden movement startling. “Of course they are. They lost a daughter. They’ll do anything to cling to the hope of justice. But why now?” He stared down at the floor as if the wood grain itself might offer answers. “Two

    Epilogue – One Year LaterThe forest pulsed with life.Soft beams of moonlight filtered through the trees of the Moonstone Grove, dancing along leaves and casting sacred light upon the ceremonial stones. Music drifted through the air—low, harmonic chants of the old tongue blending with flutes, drums, and the sounds of celebration. Lanterns floated between tree branches like fireflies.It was a night of unity.A night of destiny.A night when the past was finally put to rest.Mason stood at the heart of it all, surrounded by wolves, elders, friends, and family, all gathered in a wide circle. He was dressed in silver ceremonial robes trimmed with blue—the colors of peace and courage. Around his neck hung a pendant of a half-moon, the symbol of a chosen mate.He glanced across the clearing at Ste-phen, standing tall and proud in charcoal-gray robes embroidered with gold threads. His golden eyes never left Mason’s, not even for a moment.There was nothing but love in his gaze. Deep, unsha

    Heart racing and pounding loud in his ear, chest heaving as he weaved his way around the people in his way. His eyes caught a basket of tomatoes, and effortlessly he jumped over it, hearing the owner yell after him."Stop!"Mason glanced at the group of boys chasing after him. Are they not tired? He could barely feel his legs, his strength wearing thin as they had been chasing him for almost an hour.His fist clenched. He couldn't give up; he needed to lose them. If they got to him, it would be over. His rib still hurt, and the doctor had warned him he might have internal bleeding if the bullying didn’t stop. He couldn't afford to get hospitalized, not with so much else to worry about.He glanced back again, just to keep their distance in check, but found them gone. Had he lost them? He halted for a moment—they were nowhere in sight. Gripping his bag closer, he headed for the next corner but was welcomed by a punch to his face.Mason fell, nose bleeding. His head spun as he hit the gr

    Her fingers tightened weakly around his arm. “You are strong, Mason; you’ve always been. Don’t lose that, no matter how tough things get.”He nodded, though he couldn’t help but wonder when things would finally get better.***********"You're fired," Mason's heart dropped to his feet as the cruel words sank in. He searched for a hint of compassion in the middle-aged man's face, but there was none. His boss looked at him with the same icy indifference he'd shown for the past few weeks."But... sir, I was at the hospital—""Singing the same song again about your sick mother?" His boss sneered, cutting him off. "I'm tired of being so considerate, boy, ignoring all your mistakes and taking your lame excuses." His voice was sharp, each word hitting Mason like a physical blow. "You’re not the only one with problems. Get your priorities straight."Mason's throat tightened. He had expected this—deep down, he knew it was coming—but hearing it out loud made his world crumble."I—" He swallowed

    The class began as Professor Ste-phen continued from where the old lecturer had left off. His voice was thick yet smooth. Each time his gaze met Mason's, Mason quickly looked away.Why did it affect him? Was it the same for everyone else?Mason's eyes darted around the room. He noticed the girls were practically drooling over him, their faces lighting up whenever Professor Ste-phen's gaze fell in their direction.Mason couldn't concentrate. He then decided to fix his eyes on his book.The class seemed to drag on, finally ending after an hour. Professor Ste-phen was good—smooth in his teaching, his accent impeccable.The girls clapped as he wrapped up his lecture, drawing out the list of names in the class."Sarah Martin," he called out with ease, his voice filling the room."Present, sir," a girl exclaimed excitedly from the back."Is this some kind of freaking high school or something?" Mason heard Aurthur mutter under his breath.Professor Ste-phen's piercing gaze snapped to Aurthur

    The air crackled with tension, the scent of ozone thick in the air. Mason Allen, a scrawny, freckled boy of sixteen, struggled to breathe, his face turning a sickly shade of purple. The monstrous hand, a tapestry of dark scales and sharp claws, tightened around his throat, cutting off his air supply. His eyes, wide with terror, met the crimson gaze of Ste-phen Draven, a creature of nightmare, a being of raw power and untamed fury.“Fine, I won’t kill you. But only on one condition, Mason,” Ste-phen’s voice, a deep rumble that vibrated through Mason’s bones, echoed through the abandoned warehouse. Mason, his heart pounding a frantic rhythm against his ribs, could only gasp, his lungs screaming for air. He didn’t understand. Why was this creature, this monster, talking to him? What condition could possibly be worse than death?“Accept my rejection and I’ll let you go,” Ste-phen demanded, his grip loosening slightly.“I don’t know the fuck you’re talking about,” Mason choked out, his vo

    The vortex spun Mason around, a dizzying dance of light and darkness. He felt a strange pressure on his chest, as if an invisible hand was squeezing his lungs. He gasped for air, his vision blurring. When the spinning stopped, Mason found himself standing in a vast, empty room. The walls were made of a smooth, gray stone, and the air was thick with a strange, metallic scent. He looked around, his eyes wide with fear, trying to make sense of his surroundings. He was alone. Ste-phen was gone. “Hello?” he called out, his voice echoing through the empty chamber. “Ste-phen? Where are you?” Silence. Only the faint hum of energy, a constant, unsettling background noise. Mason walked towards the center of the room, his footsteps echoing in the silence. He felt a sense of unease, a feeling that he was being watched. He reached out and touched the smooth, cold stone wall, his hand trembling slightly. Suddenly, a figure materialized in front of him, emerging from the shadows. It was a tall

    Mason couldn't shake off what Seth had told him. Though Seth was intimidating, he was still far better than Ste-phen. His mind was consumed by the shocking reality that werewolves existed and that he was mated to one.Not just any werewolf, but a Lycan.Mason had asked why he, of all people, was chosen as Ste-phen's mate, but Seth had refused to explain. He sensed there was much more to this situation."I know you don't want this, but you have to figure it out. Breaking the bond will have side effects for both of you," Seth's words echoed in his mind.Mason sighed; none of this made sense. He didn't want to get entangled in these bizarre supernatural affairs, yet deep inside him, something strange was stirring, and he couldn't identify it."Mister Allen," the doctor called, snapping him out of his trance. "Your mother's diagnosis went well, but there's still more to come. Soon, we'll get to the root of the issue and find a cure. You just need to hang on a little longer."Mason sighed.

    The dim light of the room cast shadows that danced across the walls, creating an atmosphere thick with tension. Ste-phen's heart raced as he pulled Mason closer, their bodies fitting together like pieces of a puzzle that had long been separated. He could feel Mason's warm breath against his skin, a tantalizing reminder of the vulnerability they shared in this moment. Mason's eyes, wide with a mix of excitement and uncertainty, searched Ste-phen's face for reassurance. It was clear that this was new territory for him, and Ste-phen felt a surge of protectiveness wash over him. He had never thought of himself as someone who would take the lead, but something about Mason stirred a primal instinct within him. "Are you sure about this?" Ste-phen asked, his voice barely above a whisper. He needed to know that Mason was willing, that he wasn’t just swept up in the heat of the moment. Mason nodded slowly, his cheeks flushed with a mixture of desire and shyness. "I want this," he replied, hi

    The ward turned silent. Too silent—one could hear a pin drop.Mason could hear his heartbeat racing—too hard, too fast—and he thought he might really faint right then, but that wasn’t his concern right now…What in the motherfûcking world had Ste-phen just spilled out?Ste-phen winked at him, and Mason felt like gouging those eyes out—perhaps even cutting off his tongue too.“We’ll see again, Mrs. Allen,” Ste-phen inclined his head gently and began leaving.Then Yara’s laughter broke the silence, her eyes shut as she almost collapsed back on her bed.Ste-phen, who was about to touch the door, froze and glanced back at her.m, wondering why she suddenly find him funny.“Your boss is so funny.”Mason, getting the hint that his mother hadn’t believed Ste-phen, quickly rushed to shove him out before he could say anything else.Yara blinked in confusion.Ste-phen, who staggered outside, shot a glare at Mason as the door slid shut.“What the fuck…”“Shh!” Mason quickly clamped his hand over

    •••••••“Mason.” Yara’s voice snapped Mason back to earth.Mason, whose lips were parted in shock, shifted his gaze from Ste-phen to her.“Hey, Ma,” he chuckled awkwardly, glancing back at Ste-phen just to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. But the male was right there, lounging on the chair beside his mother with his arms folded across his chest.Again, he questioned himself.What in the world was Ste-phen doing here?“Are you planning to stay there and watch? Come on, sweetie.” Yara smiled so brightly it warmed Mason's heart.Mason stepped inside with the lunch he had bought for himself and his mother. Now it felt awkward. He wondered if Ste-phen might be hungry.Ah, right—Ste-phen doesn't like to eat outside.While Mason set the food before his mother, his heart raced in his chest as he could feel Ste-phen’s gaze on him the entire time.Ste-phen hadn't spoken a word.“Finally, Mason! I got to meet the one taking care of you—your boss. The one behind the sudden brightness in your ey

    ____“You seriously think this will work?” Xander asked as they both sat in the café having lunch.“I don't know, Xander. We can only hope,” Dexter replied, unsure of his words as well.“Yo! What's up, guys?” Jericho and the other boys came over to join them. Lately, Dexter and Xander hadn’t been too active, and the others were getting worried.They had even canceled their upcoming show, and knowing how much these two loved dancing, the rest couldn’t help but try to figure out what was going on—until they got the gist. Mr. Luther was in town.Settling down with them, Jericho who didn't hesitate like the others, broke the silence."I heard your father’s in town, Dexter."Cole, on the other hand, simply stared at Dexter with an unreadable expression.“Don’t worry about it,” Dexter mumbled curtly.“Why did you cancel the dance show then? Is he still against it?”“I said don’t worry about it!” Dexter snapped, making Jericho’s mouth snap shut. Dexter stood up abruptly, the others' eyes foll

    “Pens up.”Mrs. Katherine’s voice resonated through the classroom. Most of the students groaned under their breath. It was the last exam, and it had been pretty tough for them.Very few were able to complete their work, including Mason and Twilight.Bella sulked throughout. She no longer sat or spoke with Twilight and minded her own business.Dexter, on the other hand, had changed seats and was awfully quiet the whole time. He and Mason hadn’t exchanged a single word—not even once. But Mason was still curious. Dexter had mentioned him being in danger, and then the shooting incident happened.Even though Ste-phen refused to tell them who was behind it, Mason couldn’t stop wondering.“Dexter?” Mason called in a whisper, careful not to let Katherine hear so she wouldn’t mistake it for cheating.Dexter’s movement paused, and without a word or even a glance, he rose from his chair and walked over to Mrs. Katherine to submit his work.Mason sighed. Dexter must be really mad at him. Perhaps

    Moore clenched his phone tightly, his heart racing nonstop, lips quivering.“Mr. Black, let’s talk about—”Three beeps echoed in his ear, indicating the call had just been disconnected. Sweat beaded on Moore’s face, his eyes darted around the room as though searching for somewhere to hide… but there was nowhere.He was alone.And now, sooner or later, his heart was going to be ripped out of his chest. The thought made his knees buckle. He felt stupid for ever playing with Ste-phen’s words.His son was dead. He couldn’t even grieve—he was next.His trembling fingers slid across his phone screen, dialing a number. When the person on the other end picked up, he yelled:“Fuck! Thank God you’re not dead. Prepare any possible way for me to leave this country right away. I don’t care how you do it, I need to leave now! I’ll pay you anything—just find me a way immediately!”The voice on the other end responded, “Sir, you could follow the goods you're about to ship to Korea. If it’s urgent.”R

    ••••••••Twilight let out a cry as she climbed to her peak, Seth's fingers thrusting in and out of her wet core while his tongue flicked over her sensitive nub.The heat coiled in her stomach, her mouth parting in a silent moan before the sensation exploded within her, making her collapse back onto the bed.Her breathing came in heavy bursts, chest heaving as she struggled to steady herself. Her eyes were shut, a hint of tears pricking the corners.Her heartbeat pounded so loudly she could’ve sworn Seth heard it.She felt a kiss on her jaw, prompting her eyes to flutter open and meet Seth’s dreamy gaze. He brought his fingers to his lips and licked them clean. The sight was so sensual, Twilight had to bite her lip to suppress a moan.“First time?” he asked softly, his eyes gentle—Twilight could see stars in them.“Mhm,” she nodded, and his brows arched.“Really?” He clearly hadn’t expected that answer. She nodded again, and something primal flickered in his eyes.Twilight might’ve gon

    Twilight was drying her hair when Seth stepped in as well. Her eyes lit up at the sight of him, and she immediately dropped the towel and approached.“Seth, how did it—”Seth grabbed her waist, slamming his lips against hers, shoving her words back into her throat with a hard, passionate kiss. Twilight melted in his arms, letting his warm tongue slide into her mouth.Her sweet moan echoed through the room, her hand sliding onto his neck, threading her fingers through his hair.He grabbed her by the waist, lifting her as though she weighed nothing. Her back met the wall with a soft thud, her breath catching in her throat as her towel slipped down, pooling at her feet like a whisper.“Seth…” she breathed, her voice trembling with need, but he didn’t let her speak.His mouth was on hers again, harder this time—desperate. As if he needed to remind himself she was real. As if he’d lose his mind if he didn’t taste her right then and there.Her legs wrapped around his waist, locking him in.
