"You can't. We still have five more months to go according to our contract," he replied, his eyes serious but his tone joking.I glared at Steven.He replied with a sarcastic laugh and said, "You're jealous. Just say it, Nathalie.""I'm not!""You are. If you say that you're jealous, I will be the happiest man on earth right now."I rolled my eyes at him. "You're so narcissistic. I'm not jealous!""Alright, then," he replied, but there was still a hint of playfulness in his voice."Come here, baby..." he said in a soft voice. My heart hammered against my chest when he pulled me to his side.My eyes bulged out, my face struggling to conceal my true emotions from him.I was so scared that he might see how nervous I was around him. I was anxious that he could sense this was making me feel things, the butterflies in my stomach betraying me."You shouldn't be jealous because Emily is my first-degree cousin. We're like family, Nathalie."I couldn't explain how I felt after he said that. He

Killian stepped ahead of me, leaving me breathless and in shock.I hadn't realized rumors could spread so swiftly within our pack. Who could it have been? Who overheard our conversation with Alpha Cosma?I needed to see her.Returning to the Alpha's command center, I was greeted by Alpha Cosma's broad smile."Never mind, you seem occupied," I snapped, eyeing the glittering dresses in her office."No, no, no. It's actually wonderful you're here! We've been invited to an event by the Lycan royalty. It's a celebration party.""A celebration of what?" I inquired, my gaze fixed on the glamorous dresses and scattered makeup on the table."The celebration of our contract! You must attend because Lycan Steven is eager to meet you!"I exhaled deeply. "I can't. I have training.""Today is your day off, Nathalie."Damn! She was correct. I didn't have evening training since it was Wednesday, but that didn't mean...I exhaled again. "There's something I need to discuss with you.""About what?"Not

"Help!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I dropped to my knees on the ground. The hunters halted and spotted me using their flashlights."Who are you?!" I snarled at them.A man's voice erupted in the forest, followed by a sinister laugh. "It's a she-wolf! I knew it!""Come on, let's get her and present her to the boss. I'm pretty sure she will cost a little higher than others. Her hair is red and her skin is glowing!" another man said while looking at me with maniacal eyes.I glared at the three hunters in front of me. Their leader, who was wearing a white shirt, said, "Take her now!"But they were too slow. I was already running away from them.As I stumbled through the dense forest, my heart pounded against my chest like a drum. The hunters were closing in, their shouts echoing through the trees.I knew I had to fight back, had to defend myself against these merciless predators.But they outnumbered me, outmaneuvered me.It was the plan to go to them.And I did it successfully

As our convoy rumbled through the forest, anticipation coursed through me like wildfire. The scent of pine needles and damp earth filled the air, a familiar aroma that whispered of home. We were nearing our pack territory, and my heart pounded with a mix of excitement and nerves.I glanced around at my Gamma team. Each member was poised and alert, their eyes gleaming with determination.As we approached the edge of the clearing, I caught sight of the familiar shapes of our packmates gathered ahead.My breath caught in my throat as I realized they were all clapping, their faces lit up with pride and admiration.The convoy slowed to a halt, and I stepped out, my boots sinking into the soft earth."Here comes the heroic Nathalie Bentley for leading the Gamma team for a mission!" The cheers grew louder as I straightened my shoulders.As I approached the gathered crowd, I felt a sense of awe wash over me.Alpha Cosma embraced me in a warm hug and said, "You did well, my child."I smiled at

I slipped out of Killian's cabin, the night swallowing me whole as I made my way through the darkened woods. There was a heaviness in the air, a feeling that something was watching me. I brushed it off, focusing on my mission to escape the suffocating tension inside.But then, I felt it—the unmistakable sensation of being watched. I turned, my heart pounding against my ribs, and there he was, Lycan Steven, his eyes gleaming in the dim light cast by a flickering lamppost.We locked gazes in a silent standoff."What are you doing here?" I demanded, trying to mask the tremor in my voice."I should ask you that," Steven replied, his tone edged with barely contained anger. "What are you doing inside an omega's cabin?"I bristled at the insult to Killian. "It's none of your business," I retorted, but before I could react, Steven grabbed my wrist, his grip surprisingly tight. I winced, shocked by his sudden aggression."I don't understand, Nathalie," Steven said, his voice strained. "Why are
