Duncan Vondeer’s face wrinkled from the deepness of his frown. His eyes, half open, not wanting to fully see the person walking around in front of him.

He and a few others gathered in the study, discussing the reason for his current decision. He wasn’t supposed to be there, if it not for George, his father’s beta and second in command forcing him.

It left him with no choice but to groan and grumble at his dissatisfaction and annoyance.

His ears were ringing from the squeaky high-pitched voice, bantering nonstop for half an hour already.

“A debt? That’s the best you can come up with?”

Valentine Sage’s face looked like it was about to explode. Its color had turned beet red from all the huffing and puffing she’d been doing.

Unable to endure the continues nagging. Duncan finally let out a growl, hand wiping his face to keep what little patience he had.

“Can we not talk about this?”

His voice was firm, gritting his teeth after slamming his fist on the chair’s arm, almost breaking the thin

    After years of being passed around, disregarded, and shunned. For the first time, Selene could genuinely smile with glee.The sensation of being needed and relied upon brought about an insurmountable energy and reason for her. Especially since it was her aunt Penelope who was in need. It was now her chance to return the favor for the new life she had given her.She does a quick turn in front of the mirror, making sure she’d properly put on the uniform provided to her by an attendant there.It was a black and white maid outfit, complete with an apron and the headdress.Though shorter than the supposed design, since she’s certain it should reach up to his ankle, not her knee. Even if it wasn’t the style, she thought, she remained giddy, wearing such frilly kind of clothing.The way it flaps in the air when she moves and its softness on her skin was something she’d never experienced before.Footsteps coming from the stairs caused her to straighten, immediately turning to face the entrywa

It was a long shot, but somehow, the discovery elated him.He looks out the window from his father’s study, closely watching Selene watering the flowers on the other side of the maze garden.The girl was alone, yet she had this smile on, all the while vigilantly doing her task of tending the plants there.“You actually did it!”It was Ben, his beta, jumping in cheer after hearing what he had done.He gathered his two most trusted aid to tell them about the situation, since they remained wary of their ward. The woman wasn’t just another hapless victim; she was the niece of Penelope Hallow. The so-called moonlight wench.Also, her sudden recovery after getting attack puzzled many of them. As he too was certain she had died when they brought her to the infirmary.“Was that necessary, young alpha?”Julieta bit her lip, hands clasp together in worry.She was aware they were dealing with someo

    The confused, brooding, and gentle gaze hidden beneath a hardened exterior of Duncan continued to plague Selene’s mind. This was the image that got stuck in her. After having seen the man’s eyes in such clarity, she could discern the shadows cast upon by his broody composure.At first she thought it was just him being young, but the moment their gaze met, everything became clear to her.Sadness, pain, and longing. All of those things were familiar to her. So it was easy to spot the same in the guy’s eyes.She can’t help but be empathetic towards the guy. Though the fact remains he is better off than her, she now had this sense of connection with him.Also, there’s the part she cannot remove the man from her head, his face popping up in her mind once in a while, along with the distraught and giddiness in her insides.It’s been days since that incident, and yet the memory of it continued to linger like it was yesterday.She tussled and turn on her bed, frantic with those unknown emotion

    Duncan couldn’t hide his rage, his wrinkled in such a fashion, his teeth showed. Blood boiling from having no way to release all his pent-up emotions, it left him with nothing to do but freak out.His only place of solace was now being used by the person who’m he despises. Not only that, he hated the fact he got affected by what he saw.His crotch continued to throb and would not calm down, having that weight and twisting in his privates only added to his frustration.That’s why he didn’t hesitate to summon his two subordinate, wanting to find some sort of way to let out his irritation.“Of all the places, you had to put her there.”He bellows, causing the beta to flinch and lower his heads. While the maid remained bowing the moment she got there.“I’m sorry, young alpha. It was the only area where there was a working lavatory.”Julieta stayed stoic, unaffected by his master’s bantering. Not bothered by the intense murderous gaze being thrown their way.“Have you even considered the c

    Selene took one last look at the cell she’d been staying in, making sure she had everything back to its original state.From removing the covers, she placed over the pile of logs, curtains, and make-shift vases. She removed all of it, including the pieces of flowers. Though she had cleaned up most of the place, she’s positive it wouldn’t be an issue, considering she didn’t touch the other rooms since they remained locked.With nothing else to do, she hastens upstairs, carrying the remaining stuff she had brought there. The head maid greeted her the moment she emerged from the depths of the lower floors.“Are you certain that’s the last of it?”Julieta raised a brow, seeing the lump of tattered fabric sewn together.“Yes, mistress. I’ve done everything you’ve told me to do.”Selene gave a curtsy, copying the other maids’ action whenever they answered the woman. She was becoming accustomed to it after observing quietly for the past few days.“And those are the remaining curtains, corre

    Selene couldn’t keep her eyes straight while walking through the halls of their campus. Her entire situation only became much worse. Instead of only getting ignored and given condescending glances, she now received murderous gazes and whispers from the students passing by.If it weren’t for Lucas’s group hovering by her side, she wouldn’t have had the strength to walk into that place at all.She didn’t really have any plans of going back to school after finding about her aunt’s debt, since she did not think they’d allow her. But when she told the head maid about it, the woman had no problems with it whatsoever.Now, once again mingling with the masses, it gave her the chance to ponder and consider things. What was the reason she got into that situation in the first place? From what she can recall, she was supposed to go home after work and then parts of her memory became blurry, and then she turns up in that room, naked and all. Then came the sudden revelation of her aunt’s obliga

    After waving goodbye to Lucas’s group, Selene hurries to the cafeteria. Being in a different house, she didn’t have the luxury to pack her lunch. So she’s left with buying food. Thankfully, her aunt gave her some money during her last visit.As she was making her way through the field between the main building and the canteen, she gets stopped by a sudden strike on her head. She nearly loses her balance, if not for the trees nearby, which she immediately grabs hold of.Shocked and daze from the surprise, she touches the part that got hit, feeling the sticky, gelatinous liquid flowing through her hair.Her face wrinkles, catching a waft of the rancid stench upon sniffing her palm. Most of the shells became stuck. She tries to wipe herself clean, but most of the goo had gotten to her shirt, causing the smell to spread all over.With trees nearby, she search for any nest where it may have come from. Afraid some poor bird had lost its home and babies.But then, seeing a few laughing girl

    With an aching head and back, Selene opened her eyes to a damp room. She shivered from the cold, making her fold her legs, embracing it with her arms to keep herself warm.The darkness didn’t give anything away, making it hard to know where exactly she was in right now.The smell of rotting grass, molds, and rotting carcass didn’t make things any comfortable, as it reminded her of things from his past.Hearing some murmurs nearby, she crawls, carefully making her way to where the sound was, only stopping when she gets into a blockage. She lets her palms feel the wall, wincing from the rough and prickly edges of old wood. Curious about the sounds on the other side, she presses her ear to listen.On the other side of the room was a group, compose of several teenagers and one adult male. All were in a state of panic as the old guy was throwing glares at each of the yo

    Several glowing eyes from within the forest remained glued to the two unsuspecting individuals. Smirks forming on their faces as they remained undetected, making them bolder.Selene and Ben chatted as they made their way back to the mansion, carrying several plastics of supplies. Blissfully unaware of the gazes that were following them as they made their way to town.“And then the alpha said….”Ben chuckled as they walked, but stopped mid sentence when he noticed something in the air. He sniffed, frowned, and growled after recognizing the odd scent.“What’s wrong, Ben?”Selene furrowed, seeing how the beta kept scanning their surroundings. It was only midafternoon, and the sun was up.A sudden jolt came over her, fear clawing on her chest at the su

    Though wounded, Duncan continued grumbling, hissing, and thrashing on the bed as both Julieta and Ben kept pushing him to lie down.“It was clear I was the winner. Why did it end up in a draw?”He growled, glaring at the two who struggled to hold him in place.He couldn’t accept the elders’ decision, even after his father fell on his knees during their last clash. He didn’t understand why they’d come to such a decision, since after a few seconds, his father fell face first on the ground.“You almost lost, alpha. You were lucky you pushed through to the end.”Julieta gave her a good hit on the forehead when the young-alpha continued to fight them off. Her face turning red in annoyance and worry because they hadn’t finished fixing him up.“Yeah, what happened back there, alpha? You were …”Ben wasn’t able to finish his words, seeing how their young-alpha’s eyes turned murderous, shifting his gaze away from fear and panic.“I was what?”Duncan’s voice now had this threatening tone, along

    Duncan was huffing with each bone crackling, muscle spasming, and skin ripping. He kept his gaze glued to his father, not daring to look away.This was a crucial moment, so he did not notice the change in himself, being too occupied by the thoughts of how he was going to take his father down.But the others who’d witness it first had been well aware of of the problem, seeing the change in him.“What’s wrong with the alpha? He looks smaller than last time.”Ben frowned, swallowing hard when the two alphas finished their shifting. It was clear that there was something wrong with their young-alpha.“I told him about this.”Julieta couldn’t keep herself from nibbling her nails from the tension. She knew this would happen, but no matter how much she explained it, their young-alpha remained steadfast in his decision.Now, they got left with a predicament that could impact not just their future, but also their pack.“About what?”Ben turned to the head-maid with shaky feet, unable to keep hi

    The fated day arrives, and at alpha Jame’s behest, all the leaders of the pack were there to witness the duel between father and son.The event was a big deal, since it was a fight to decide who gets to be the head of the Shadow bane pack, which is one of the three biggest packs in their town.Alpha James couldn’t hide his smirk, confident of his upcoming victory. It hadn’t been that long since he’d spar with his son, and from that information alone brought about his confidence.Other figures who were present there were some of the townsfolk whom were curious about the outcome.“What came over Duncan to challenge his father to a duel? He’s going to take over the pack in a few years, so why bother with this?”Valentine heaved a sigh, pressing a hand on her temple while she frown at the two alphas standing side by side in front of the elders.“Maybe he finally gained the balls for it.”Lucas snorts, resisting the urge to laugh. But then a thought crossed his mind, causing him to rethink

    After finishing cleaning the attic, Selene took the chance to take a few minutes of rest, since she’d done all the chores given to him by the head-maid.Because of the recent conflict, there were now only three of them there taking care of the house. The head-maid, Ben, and her. She didn’t think that most of the maids working there were under Duncan’s father.She took a deep sigh, looking out into the circular window into the horizon, remembering the incident. Part of her felt sad for the young-alpha, but another side of was envying him.Selene was still staring outside, mop in her hand, while deep in thought when Duncan came in. This got the young-alpha’s face twisting in irritation.“Do you always need to intrude on my personal space?”Duncan roared, letting his rage take over.The walls shook as his voice echoed through the entire room.Caught by surprised, Selene jump in panic, causing her to tumble. Her mop hit the bucket on her feet, spilling the murky water in it, making her sl

    Duncan’s rage continued to rage growing inside of him, unable to calm his nerves from the scene a moment ago. Though he now sat on the table, being served by Selene, his face remained straight, eyes sharp, while staring upfront.“Everything good with you, alpha?”Ben’s face twitch with worry, an inexplainable fear creeping into him because of the young-alpha’s murderous expression.‘Was it because of the upcoming fight? Or perhaps it was because they didn’t call him to eat?’ These were the thoughts playing in Ben’s mind. Unable to understand the cause of his alpha’s mood.“Yeah, just swell.”Duncan snorts; it was clear his words was lace with sarcasm.In truth, he had this uncontrollable itch to snap Ben’s neck. He wanted to rip him apart, piece b

    Selene sat on the bed, her thoughts lingering on her head on things. With how things were going with her life, she didn’t know where to turn to or what to do next.Her aunt was missing; their house had those odd shadow figures lingering in them, and she was miles away from civilization.She felt so helpless, not knowing how long she’ll be allowed to stay in the pack this time. Her uncertainty stemmed from the fact that everyone there seems to have a problem with her, along with how Duncan reacted to her a while ago.The young-man’s demeanor confused her, shifting from good to bad in a second without a notice. It made her think if her situation would be the same if she went with Lucas instead.She stops pondering when she hears footsteps from the stairs; she rushed to greet whoever was going down to the cellar.“Hey Ben.”She waves the moment she saw the guy. He was wobbling, careful not to fall from the ladder as his legs were unbalanced.“Oh, Selene. I thought you were with the alpha

    James Vondeers grumbled in his chair, his expression darkening with each passing moment. His gaze kept shifting from the clock then to the empty seat beside him.The alpha’s silence created this heavy tension in the room, as the others who were seated at the long table barely made any noise, avoiding even the slightest clink of their utensil.“I hope everything is to your liking, James?”Connor Sage, alpha of the Blue snow pack, was the one who gained the courage to break the silence through the room. He gave a sympathetic smile at the other alpha on the other side of the table, as it had been an hour, but he remained alone, barely touching the food they’d prepared.Duncan was nowhere to be found; even his beta, George, was absent on that occasion, though the alpha promised they’d arrive momentarily.This brought murmurs among the others gathered there, as they tried to make conversations to remove the awkwardness.“Alpha James, are you certain Duncan will be joining us today?”Valent
