The sweet scent of freshly baked pancakes wafted up from the kitchen, making his stomach growl with anticipation. In one swift movement, he threw away the covers, got on his feet and followed the scent to its source.Downstairs, Laura was already busy in the kitchen, her hands moving with a practiced ease as she expertly flipped pancakes. The sizzle of the pan and the hum of the refrigerator created a soothing background melody. Tristan's eyes locked onto the fluffy stack, and his mouth watered in response."Good morning, sweetie!" Laura chirped, her eyes shining with warmth as she handed him a steaming plate. "I made your favo

Tristan kept running, his paws pounded the earth, his heart racing with a newfound ferocity. He had never felt so alive, so free.As he ran, his senses grew sharper, his body stronger. He could smell the trees, hear the river flowing, and feel the moon's pull.Suddenly, he caught a scent, a familiar yet unknown smell. He followed it, his curiosity piqued.That's when he saw her, a wolf with piercing green eyes, her fur a shimmering silver."Who are you?" Tristan growled, his instincts on high alert.The wolf approached him, her tail wagging cautiously. "I'm Rosalind," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "And you are...?"Tristan hesitated, unsure of his identity. "I, I do not know," he admitted, his confusion evident.Rosalind's eyes locked onto his, a spark of recognition igniting.

Athena Trinidad, a servant in the Ironclaw Dominion pack, stood with a quiet strength, her tanned skin a testament to the hardships she had endured. Her fiery red hair, once a wild tangle, now hangs in dull, matted locks, a reflection of her lost spirit. Her amber eyes, once bright and full of life, now dimly shone like embers, smothered by the weight of her servitude. The spark within them flickered, a flame struggling to stay alight amidst the darkness.Athena's slender physique, honed from years of labor, bore the scars of her mistreatment. Her wrists and ankles, once raw and chafed from shackles, now displayed a latticework of faded scars, a topography of her suffering. Her gaze, once direct and proud, now cast downward, a habit formed from years of servitude. Yet, in fleeting moments, a glimmer of defiance flashed, a hint of the untamed spirit that once roamed free.Athena cowered in the corner, her eyes cast down at the cold stone floor. The stench of mold and decay filled her n
Athena's determination grew with each passing day. She knew she had to escape, to join the resistance and fight back against the Dominion. As she paced in her cell, she heard the sound of footsteps again. But this time, they were heavier, more deliberate.The door creaked open, and Brody stood before her, his eyes cold and hard. "Athena, you are coming with me."Athena's heart sank, but she refused to show fear. "Where are we going?"Brody's smile was cruel. "The Alpha wants to see you."Athena's mind raced as she followed Brody through the corridors. What did the Alpha want with her?

Her voice, barely above a whisper, held a gentle melody, a soothing balm to those who hear it.Despite the hardships, Athena's beauty remained, a beacon of hope in a world that sought to extinguish her light. Her story, etched on her body and in her eyes, was one of resilience, a testament to the unbreakable huma
Meanwhile, Jasper stormed through the corridors, his mind reeling with conflicting emotions. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had made a terrible mistake.But he refused to acknowledge it. He would not be swayed by his feelings for a servant.As he entered his chambers, he saw a figure waiting for him - Alira, the elderly servant who had been kind to Athena."My lord," Alira said, her voice trembling. "I saw what happened. I am so sorry."Jasper's eyes narrowed. "You dare to pity me?"Alira stood tall, her eyes flashing with defiance. "I pity Athena, my lord. She deserved better than your rejection."Jasper's face twisted in rage, but Alira's words struck a chord deep within him.Jasper's anger faltered, replaced by a creeping sense of doubt. Had he made a mistake by rejecting Athena?Alira's words echoed in his mind: "She deserved better than your rejection."He tried to shake off the feeling, but it lingered, gnawing at his conscience.Meanwhile, Athena walked through the dark
Tristan's eyes stared back at him from the mirror, but they were not his own. They were darker, more sinister, with vertical pupils that seemed to pierce through the glass. His skin was deathly pale, stretched taut over razor-sharp cheekbones. His hair was longer, wilder, with subtle streaks of silver strands that seemed to move of their own accord.He was a monster.Tristan's mind recoiled in horror, his thoughts consumed by the transformation that had ravaged his body on his 18th birthday. He could not shake the feeling of being a stranger in his own skin, a prisoner of the beast that lurked beneath the surface."Tristan, sweetie, come down for breakfast," his mother, Laura, called from downstairs, her voice cheerful but laced with concern and hesitation.Tristan hesitated, unsure if he was ready to face her. What if she saw the monster he had become? What if she was repulsed by him?But his stomach growled, reminding him that he needed to eat. He took a deep breath and made his way
While the coronation celebration was in high gear, an ambitious member of the royal family, Ryder wore a deep scowl on his face. “This is not over.”His words dripped with malice, his gaze fixed on the royal couple.
