This is the end of the road for you."He was interrupted when he heard a yell coming from the passageway. His father had mind-linked the guards and they were on their way.Liam's heart was pounding in his chest as he ran towards the door and slipped through, running the opposite way. "Get him!" His father yelled. "Don't let him escape!"He could hear the guards' footsteps pounding behind him, their angry shouts filling the air. He knew that if they caught him, he would never be able to escape.But to his chagrin, he had been surrounded.

Her mother responded, rather terselyPenelope sat alone in her bed, the silence heavy around her. Her hands were folded neatly in her lap as she stared at the wall, lost in thought. The only movement came from her mother, who sat by the window staring into the distance, lost in her own thoughts.Penelope knew what was coming. Her father had hired a midwife, a woman who specialized in terminating pregnancies. Her father had decided that the only way to avoid scandal was to get rid of the problem before it grew any bigger.Penelope shuddered at the thought of going under the midwife's knife.

Including werewolves."Yvonne nodded, feeling slightly embarrassed by her own awkwardness. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just trying to get to know you better."Mrs. Wil

Penelope had been standing in front of the mirror for what felt like hours, staring at her reflection as she tried to make sense of the chaos that had engulfed her life. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening and her mother walking in."Put something on immediately," Yvonne said, her voice sharp with impatience.Penelope sighed and turned away from the mirror, feeling the weight of exhaustion on her shoulders. She walked over to her dresser and began rummaging through the hundreds of clothes that were lined up neatly on the shelves.Her mother watched as she pulled out a dress that was both formal and casual, a navy blue maxi dress with a flowing skirt and delicate lace detailing."You look beautiful, darling," Yvonne said, trying to sound enthusiastic.

She knew that her mother was just trying to man

The strength and power of his wolf were intoxicating, and Liam reveled in the sensation. He was faster and more agile but terribly hungry. He felt like he could take on anything and anyone, a

So you will be going to bed once the pain subsides."As Penelope's mother sat by her bedside, her face radiated with a sense of calmness, even though she was deeply worried about her daughter's condition. She had been consulting with Wilson who had recommended that her daughter be prepared before undergoing the procedure.Penelope was laid on her bed as the maids carefully washed her with a mixture of vinegar and water, which was believed to have antiseptic properties. The concoction had a pungent smell that made her nose wrinkle, but she bore it without a word of complaint.The maids were clueless about what was going on, but they went about their duty with precision, gently washing Penelope's body from head to toe.

The stillness of the air was shattered by the sound of distant screams, the clashing of metal, and the shattering of wood. The once serene night was now filled with the chaos of battle. The noise grew louder and closer, a cacophony of blood-curdling cries and the clash of swords. The ground shook beneath their feet as the sound of something heavy crashed to the earth. Penelope clutched her mother's hand tightly, her heart racing with fear and uncertainty. The door to their room burst open, and one of the guards appeared, his face contorted with terror."Your Highnesses, we are under attack!" he shouted, his voice barely audible over the deafening noise outside. "A Lycan has breached the perimeter and is attacking the Pack! He can't be stopped."Penelope's heart sank as she heard the news. The Lycans were known for their brutality and lack of mercy. She felt helpless, resigned to her fate as she knew the odds were not in their favor. But she was very confused, as to why a Lycan would a

Penelope and her mother remained hidden behind the wardrobe, listening as the sound of the Lycan wolf's growls gradually faded away. Penelope could feel her heart pounding in her chest, her breath coming in short gasps. She was so scared that she can barely move, barely even think.And then, suddenly, there was a scent in the air that she recognized immediately. It was a sweet, comforting scent, and it fills her with a sense of calm and safety. She knew who it was before she even looked up. And when her wolf muttered, "Mate" she was utterly shocked."Liam," she whispered, her voice barely more than a breath.Her body screamed at her to run to him, to wrap her arms around him, and never let go. As Penelope laid her eyes on Liam, fear and confusion overwhelmed her.
