The room was too quiet, too still, except for the presence of the three most powerful men in it.

Zarek, Zade, and Valerian.

Valerian’s proposal lingered in the air like a blade ready to come down. A perfume company? Her own business? Freedom?

And yet, Astrid hesitated.

A part of her was willing to accept his proposal, it wasn't something that could come by easily. This was her chance to better her life and get away from this messed up world she had found herself in.

But…

She couldn't do it.

Something also told her that Valerian had more to him. He had other plans.

She could never believe that he suddenly developed an interest in her just after seeing her once.

Like, how could anyone just offer their property to just anybody? And that too to a mere human?

Astrid gave up the idea of following him. She knew Zarek might never allow it.

She parted her lips, ready to say no and reject his offer outright.

But before the word could leave her mouth, another voice cut through the air.

    “I hope you know the seriousness of what you both have done, Alphas?” Gideon, Alpha Zarek, and Alpha Zade's Beta asked as he stared at the two men seated in front of him.One of them had a nonchalant look on his face as if he never cared about things like this. The other one had an excited look on his face as he kept going through the papers in his hand.“Yes, I know the gravity, but look at this," Zarek's excited voice filled the air as he turned the papers towards Gideon. “Valerian finally signed these goddamn papers after so many years. It’s all worth it, don’t you think?" "I beg to disagree, Alpha. You just put everyone in danger, and all you care about is a worthless deal?” Gideon knew how important this deal was to Zarek, but he couldn't believe that the twins had actually backstabbed the Lycan King just after he helped them.And that too for a worthless human.Goddess, help him.“It’s not worthless." Zarek deadpanned, his expression turning serious. But Gideon knew it was all

    _Astrid’s POV_“Get some rest," Zarek turned around and left the room, leaving me alone to gather my thoughts. After I told him about my earlier decision towards Alpha Valerian's offer, he had been silent for a long time before he cleared his throat and nodded.Then he stood up to leave. I could see the surprise in his eyes and a part of me was happy to witness it. I knew what I had to do if I wanted to survive in this cut-throat world.And for the first time in my life, I had a plan. My uncle stole everything from me—my trust fund, my future, and my freedom. They all saw me as a weak little girl that couldn't fight for herself. And of course, they were right. But not anymore.I have to do what I have to do to survive.And to do that, I had to gain the trust of the Alpha Twins of this pack. Zarek and Zade.It wouldn't be easy. They were both powerful rulers and non-humans. They weren’t stupid. But I had one advantage—despite everything, they wanted me here.Zarek didn't want me to

    When the black SUV rolled to a stop at the luxurious golf course, all eyes turned toward it, already knowing who had arrived.The moment Zarek and Zade stepped out, the murmurs began. Whispers filled the air and they were all of respect, curiosity, and even fear. But the real murmurs began when Astrid followed.A human.The silence that settled immediately they caught sight of her was suffocating. Stares bore into her, some shocked, others amused. Astrid knew why. In this part of the world, humans didn’t belong, not in the presence of Lycans, Alphas, and the highest ranks of werewolf society. And yet, here she was, stepping onto their sacred grounds as if she had a right to exist among them.Her heart pounded, but she forced herself to walk with her gaze lowered. If she was going to survive in this world, she had to act respectful because this people couple snap her neck in one go, ending her miserable life anytime they wanted.She didn't even care if the Alphas were with her. They

    After the news from Gideon had been successfully delivered to Zarek and Zade, they all decided to head back to the packhouse.Zarek already knew it would come to this, he knew Valerian wouldn't let things go easily. In their office back at the packhouse, Zade carefully moved to sit on a chair, arms crossed, but frustration was clear on his face, while Zarek began to pace the room like a caged beast.His mind raced as he searched for ways to come out of this mess with Valerian.Gideon, who was standing by the door just stared at him with an angry look. “Pacing won't fix this." He chided, already tired of watching Zarek move from one place to another.“Well, at least it helps me think. So shut the hell up and let me." Zarek snapped in return and resumed pacing.A heavy silence descended for a while before Zarek finally exhaled.He turned to Zade, who just sat there quietly, his gaze fixed outside the window. Without being told, he knew his brother was also thinking of a way out. “What

    _Astrid’s POV_Something wasn't right, I knew it deep in my bones.Beta Gideon, as I had come to know from the way the maids gawked at him and talked about him, had been glaring at me with such resentment that left me wondering what I had done to him. He had been distant, and never saying a word to me. Unlike Alpha Zarek and Alpha Zade, who controlled everything around here and the things I did, Gideon seemed angry about my presence at the packhouse.And now out of nowhere, he was telling me to follow him?Every instinct screamed at me to say no.And yet, I found myself skipping into the car when he instructed me to, my hands gripping the seatbelt tightly as he started the car.He drove off from the packhouse and I wanted to ask again where he was taking me. But I went against the idea when I saw the way his hands clenched around the steering wheel.If he wrapped through hands around my neck, he would never hesitate to snap my neck on the spot and kill me off.But what exactly did I d

    The clock on the office wall ticked steadily, but with every passing second, Alpha Zarek’s patience thinned. He drummed his fingers against the desk, his gaze flickering to the door. Still nothing.Gideon had been gone for a very long time already.At first, neither he nor Zade had thought much of it. Gideon was always handling something, maybe he was looking for a way out of this mess, one that didn't involve Cassia. But this time, something felt very off.Zade, sitting across from him, leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. “Where the hell is he?” His tone was sharp, irritated. “He should’ve been back by now. He possibly can't stay angry forever.”Zarek exhaled slowly, a hint of frustration creeping into his voice. “He’ll come. The spawn always does.”But even as he said it, a nagging feeling settled in his gut.Then, a knock at the door.Before either of them could respond, the door swung open, and a pack guard stepped in. His face was pale, his breathing uneven—like he had debate

    “I swear to the name of the goddess, I didn't hand her over to Valerian,” Gideon explained for the one-millionth time to Zarek and Zade.This time, Zarek had stopped pacing, and in his place was Zade. Gideon didn't know Zade also had a thing for Astrid considering his nonchalant behavior towards her. Seeing him all worked up now, he realized he had gone and made a big mistake. The twins cared for Astrid, and it was shocking. They had never cared for anyone, ever. Not even when Cassia had been abducted back when they were together with her. They cared, but not to the extent of getting all worked up like this.“Then explain how the hell Valerian has her and why!” Zade snapped, rage burning like lava in his dark eyes.Zarek had his fist clenched as he glared intensely at Gideon.“Fucking hell! I just took her close to the highway and told her to leave, she ran off on her own without looking back. How would I have known that she would run into Valerian?" Gideon yelled back, frustrated.

    The atmosphere in the office was suffocating. Cassia sat in the leather chair, one leg crossed over the other, eyes sharp as daggers as she studied the twins. “So, let me get this straight—you need my help to take down Valerian or make peace with Valerian, not just to protect your pack, but because you have someone to rescue?”Zarek remained silent, arms crossed, his expression impassive. Zade, however, let out a sharp exhale, already irritated. “That’s what we said, isn’t it?”Cassia tilted her head, lips curving into a smirk. “Who is it?”Zade’s jaw clenched. Zarek didn’t even blink.Her smirk widened seeing the indifference. “You wouldn’t go this far for just anyone. So who is it?”Silence.Then Gideon, standing off to the side, answered with a bored drawl, “Their favorite servant.”Cassia’s smirk vanished. Her fingers tightened on the armrest as she repeated, her voice laced with disbelief, “You’re doing all this… for a servant?”Zarek’s gaze darkened. “We’re doing it for the pac

    Zarek didn’t say anything. He just let Astrid’s fingers keep moving slowly over his shoulders. The tension in his muscles had started to melt away, and even his wolf had gone quiet for the first time in days. It felt… nice and calming.She was good at this.Astrid didn’t speak either. She kept her head low, focusing on the way his muscles moved under her hands. She didn’t know why she was doing this. Maybe because he looked so tired. Or maybe it was something else she didn’t want to admit.“You’re good at this,” Zarek finally said, his voice low as he broke the silence.She blinked. “I… I used to do it for my father sometimes,” she muttered under her breath, wondering why she even thought of her wicked father now.That man didn't deserve to be in anyone's line of thought or memory.Zarek hummed quietly, then tilted his head back a little. “So tell me,” he said after a short pause, “why did you run away that day? The day Valerian caught you. You clearly told me you were willing to stay

    Zarek slammed the car door shut the moment they arrived back at the pack house. His jaw was tight, and his brows were drawn together in a way that made him look even more dangerous than usual. Gideon stepped out behind him, not saying a word, but his expression wasn’t any better.They had just returned from the pack’s factory, where everything had gone to hell.A shipment that was supposed to leave tonight was missing, completely. The guards had been knocked out cold, and the warehouse had been ransacked. Whoever did it was good, too good. They didn’t leave any real trace, just a few broken crates and the pungent smell of fresh blood in the atmosphere.Zarek stormed into the mansion and headed straight to his office. He didn’t even greet anyone on the way in. Gideon followed close behind, still quiet.Once inside the office, Zarek collapsed into the chair behind his desk, running a hand through his hair. He was frustrated. No, more than that. He was pissed.“What the hell is going on?

  • Twins’ Obsession   Chapter 31

    Zarek didn’t move at first.His chest rose and fell slowly as he stared at Astrid, still lying against the edge of his office table, her lips slightly parted and her cheeks flushed. His hands were still resting on either side of her, caging her in like a man who didn’t want to let go. But then….Knock. Knock.The sound made both of them freeze. Astrid sat up straighter quickly and tried to pull her dress into place.Zarek exhaled sharply and stepped back from her. His face was unreadable again. Cold and serious, like nothing had just happened. Like he hadn’t just had his hands on her, or whispered things that made her entire body heat up.“Cover up,” he said in a low tone, not even looking at her. “And stay right there.”Astrid swallowed hard and nodded. She felt embarrassed all of a sudden, even though a part of her didn’t want him to walk away.She wasn’t even supposed to like it at all.Zarek turned and walked to the door. He didn’t open it all the way, just cracked it enough to pe

    _Astrid’s POV_Alpha Zarek’s free hand slides up the collar of my maid’s outfit, subtly brushing his fingers against the skin of my breastbone as he sucked on my lower lips. I shuddered, my lips parting even more for him as I attempted and failed to subdue my reaction.If anyone had told me of a moment like this in the past, and that too with someone who has all power and control over me, I would never have believed them.Alpha Zarek of the Obsidian Fang Pack, the biggest werewolf pack in the city and wherever kissed me. This happened to be my first kiss, the one with Alpha Valerian wasn't even supposed to be considered anything but a kiss. Just the thought of it repulsed me to my bones.A growl left Zarek’s lips as he reached for my chest, his palm cupping one of my breasts in his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze and earning a loud cry of something I couldn't quite place my hands on. This was the first ever time I sounded this way, and it sent a shiver down my spine.What the hell w

    Zade’s breath was uneven.His hand was still in Astrid’s hair, fingers tangled in the strands he’d pulled moments before. His lips had already ghosted her skin, inching dangerously close to her mouth, too close to her lips. She should’ve been terrified, should’ve recoiled like she always did when a man so much as brushed her arm.But she wasn’t. She didn’t even flinch. Her breath got caught in her throat and her heart thundered, but her body or brain didn’t scream at her to push him away and run. Not even when his nose touched hers or when his lips hovered over hers like a threat.She didn't even recognize the look in his eyes because she felt a sudden warmth spread across her chest as she sucked on her bare neck.And just as something unspeakable was about to happen….BANG!The door flew open, slamming against the wall so hard the echo rattled her spine.Astrid gasped in shock, eyes wide and body frozen in Zade’s grip.But Zade himself didn’t move. Hell, he didn’t even flinch.Like

  • Twins’ Obsession   Chapter 28

    _Astrid’s POV_I woke up with the taste of salt still on my lips.My eyes burned, lashes slogged together from the tears I hadn’t bothered to wipe away the previous day.My little room was quiet now, Oriana must’ve left sometime during the night. She always did, before Esme made her wicked rounds each day.I sat up slowly, feeling like every bone in my body had aged ten years overnight. My cheek still throbbed, very tender to the touch. The bruise was probably darker now.But there was no time to check.I had work to do.Even if my soul was crawling toward the edge.I needed to serve the Alphas, even though I hated seeing Zarek. Both of them. Three of them!Thankfully, Gideon wasn't always around for breakfast. I hated him because Oriana told me he was the one who suggested that Lady Cassia come to the pack and take care of the mess the Alphas made.And now I also have to see her today. With a heavy sigh, I went about my personal hygiene and when I was done, I got dressed.I dreaded

  • Twins’ Obsession   Chapter 27

    _Astrid’s POV_The silence that followed the slap was louder than the sound of the laughter had ever been.My cheek stung. Not just from the impact, but from the deep humiliation I was feeling.From the way Cassia looked at me like I was something she scraped off her shoe. From the way no one said a damn word.Not even Zade, nor Zarek.I didn’t cry, even though the tears was clouding my features. Not this time. I just stood there, gripping the silver tray until my fingers ached.“I’m so sorry, Lady Cassia,” I murmured, my voice hollow. This was the least I could do before everyone.“Oh, you will be,” she spat. “This is pure silk from Marathen. You just ruined it, you dumb bitch!” She raised her voice because she knew the twins wouldn't do anything to stop her.Her dress wasn’t even that soaked. Just a little splash. But to her, it was a reason to unleash everything she’d been holding back. This woman hated me for no reason.She stood up sharply from her seat and ordered in a harsh vo

  • Twins’ Obsession   Chapter 26

    _Astrid’s POV_It had been a week since I woke up in this gilded prison.A week since Zarek and Zade pulled me from the brink of death… and left me to rot all over again.Lady Cassia made sure of that.Each day bled into the next, an endless cycle of servitude and scorn. Yes, I was their personal maid, but Cassia took immense pleasure in reminding me of it—loudly, publicly, and cruelly.Ever since Zarek and Zade had asked her to give them sometime while they come to a conclusion of their next course of action towards getting a Luna. She had refused to leave the Obsidian Fang Pack.I hated her so much. The way she walked, talked and carried herself.Yes, she was a Lycan, but she acted like she was the moon goddess herself.She tossed her gowns at me, made me scrub her floors twice just to watch me crawl, and once, when I was too slow to clean her muddy shoes, she ground them into the rug and made me scrub that too—with a toothbrush.Zarek and Zade had approved of it when she complaine

  • Twins’ Obsession   Chapter 25

    _Astrid’s POV_The smell of lavender swirled lightly through the room, wafting into my nostrils.Somewhere close by, birds chirped like the world hadn’t collapsed around me.My eyelids fluttered open with much difficulty than ever and a groan tore from my throat.Light poured in through the beige curtains, and the first thing I noticed was the pain, still dull, still there, but not as harsh as I remembered. My throat was dry, my body sore, but somehow, I was… alive.How was that possible?A jumbled memory of mine brought back the menacing way that guard had shoved silver down my throat forcefully, wanting to end my miserable life for me.But somehow, I managed to survive. Just when I turned my head slightly to the side, I realized I wasn't alone in the white room. I caught sight of her.The she-wolf with wild, curly brown hair tied back in a messy bun. Her skin was warm-toned, her eyes wide and shining with disbelief and hope as they locked on mine.“Astrid?” she breathed.I blinked
