MERIDAI couldn't sleep, I was too scared too, I was thinking of so many things at the same time.Finally I got out of bed, my troubling thought couldn't let me sleep, I had to check on Lukan.I stepped into Lukan's room, The familiar scent of antiseptic mingling with the midnight air from outside where it had rained, few minutes ago .The guards at the door had nodded respectfully, their eyes conveying silent understanding of my worry, they had let me in and I couldn't care less if Julietta had given them an instruction not to let me see Lukan .Lukan lay still, his face pale, a slight frown creasing his brow even in unconsciousness.Seeing him like this made my chest tightened. I took a deep breath and quietly approach his bedside, sinking into the chair beside him. For a few minutes, I just watched him, willing him to wake up. He looked almost peaceful, except for the occasional twitch of his fingers as if he was locked in a dream he couldn't escape. I reached out , my fingers sli

00062: Let's Just Pretend

LEMUELI stood outside mother's door for a moment, my knuckles resting against the polished wood. My heart raced not from fear, but from frustration. The situation was spiraling out of control. I knocked once ,the sound echoing down the quiet hallway. Her cool voice called me to enter.I stepped inside, finding her as I expected, she was standing by the window with a wine flute in her hand. Her posture was tense, her fingers lightly gripping the delicate glass and her sharp gaze locked on the Packhouse grounds, I knew she was thinking about something.She didn't turn to face me immediately, but I could feel the weight of her worries. Everyone was worried about Lukan."How is he?" she asked her voice quiet but firm."He's still unconscious," I replied walking closer." The doctor is doing everything he can."Mother's hand tightened on the wine flute, the sound of her sigh barely audible." Lemuel.. it shouldn't have come to this " she finally turned to look at me, her eyes heavy with s

00063: Breakfast And Banter

MERIDAI woke up with the morning sun streaming through the curtains, the warmth pulling me out of a restless sleep. Yesterday's event lingered in my mind but I pushed them aside. No time to dwell on it. I had checked on Lukan once and also felt his temperature. It was breakfast time and as usual I had no clue where the maids are disappeared to. The smell of bacon sizzling in the kitchen greeted me as I walked down the stairs and there was Lemuel — standing over looking the table mildly annoyed, spatula in hand. "You are cooking? I asked my voice still groggy from sleep.He glanced up at me and smirked."Someone has to. Apparently the maids has taken the day off. Or gone on strike."I chuckled, shaking my head as I grab the seat at the small dinning table."First you are cooking and now the maids are missing. Seems the world is coming to an end."Lemuel rolled his eyes but there was a hint of a smile in his lips."I wouldn't get too comfortable. This might be the last edible mean I

00064: Mother's Duties

MERIDA.I sat beside Lukan's bed staring at his still face. The room was quiet ,except for the steady beeping of the machinesHis hand felt cold in mine, and I squeezed it gently ,hoping for a response, anything to tell me he was still in there, fighting. My head throbbed beneath the bandage, a reminder of the accident that put him here. I winced as I shifted in my chair, trying to ignore the ache in my ribs. It was hard to feel any comfort sitting in this room, seeing him like this.My heart twisted, the pain from the accident mixing with the fear of losing him. I sighed softly and leaned my head against the bed. "Dean and Lemuel tried to make me laugh this morning." I whispered, closing my eyes as I remembered their silly banter."Lemuel also prepared breakfast and Dean kept teasing him." I smiled thinly"They were only doing it to cheer me up."Then I left out a small chuckle, but it quickly faded. The reality of the situation weighed too heavily."But it didn't really help. How

00065: Find Them!

ZAYNAI walked in, my heels clicking against the marble floors, the night air did little to calm me down.My thoughts churned with frustration and confusion. Father had given me a call on my way back and I knew he was thinking the same thing.What surprised me most, was the audacity."You called," I said. I met him at the balcony, his fingers gripping a wine flute and he didn't turned when I walked in. "How is everything at the pack house?"he asked his voice, low and intense and it seems like the question had plunged him in the chest .I knew he wasn't asking because he was interested in anything. He was angry. Someone had sabotaged our plans."Everything is under control, but Lukan is still unconscious. "I replied, my tone light, though my heart beat a little too faster I paused and then added." Lukan's badly injured. ""I know."he said almost immediately cutting me off." The car brakes." He took a sip." So I heard."There was something I wanted to say, it kept crawling at my c

00066: Someone Wants To Die

ZAYNA I went back to my room after the discussion with father. I heard his car leaving and I hated the fact that he seems to care about Elisabeth this days.His words still echoed in my ears, each syllable as sharp as the chill that seemed to seep into my skin. There was someone meddling in our plans—someone willing to gamble everything to disrupt the other we can carefully crafted. I didn't know who it was but I intended to find out soon just as father had instructed. Stripping down , I left the cool water from the shower wash away the tension clinging to me.Even as the water ran over my skin my thoughts circle back to the incident.I shook my head , almost laughing at their foolishness, if only they knew, they were playing a very dangerous game.Dressed in my favorite bathrobe, I caught my reflection in the mirror studying the determination in my eyes. The absurd bonding ceremony with Lemuel had been canceled for now, it was actually a minor miracle and I was glad it didn't pu

00067: The Hidden Twin Sister

MERIDADinner ended on a quiet, somber note. My mind wandered with each bite, leaving the table before I’d even stood up. Once everyone was distracted, I slipped out of the dining room, sneaking up through the hallways toward Lukan’s room. I didn't care to explain myself. My thoughts were locked on one thing only: him.When I finally stepped into his room, a chill settled over me. He lay still, a faint rhythm in his chest the only sign of life. In sleep, he looked vulnerable, almost painfully human—so different from the powerful, untouchable Alpha everyone knew him to be. I felt a pang of something I couldn’t name, an ache that crept up the back of my throat. After setting down the basin and towels I’d brought, I took a moment to compose myself, fighting the turmoil of my own pain—the poison still lingering inside me, slower to fade than I’d hoped. I would tell Lemuel about it but not now, I had taken an anti poison to wash it off.With a shaky hand, I picked up the damp cloth, gent

00068: Stop Following Father's Orders

ZAYNAI rushed down the hall my heart pounding as I neared Lukan's room. Even from the doorway I could feel the heavy silence like the entire room was holding its breath with him. This was the first time I was coming to see him in his room, he lay there, still and pale and for the first time I felt... afraid.Julietta was already at his bedside, her face etched with worry as she brushed his hair back tenderly. I swallowed the sting of jealousy that twisted in my chest. How badly I wanted to be in her place, to have that right .But I didn't and I never would, besides what was I thinking? she was his mother after all. As I stepped inside, Julietta's eyes found mine, sharp and watchful. I forced myself to remain calm to look like the concerned sister in law to be .But Lukan was more than that.The first doctor was pacing by the bed ,muttering to himself his gaze , occasionally darting over to Julietta as if to seek her approval. Her expression turned colder as her gaze went in his

00069: Buying The Doctor Over

ZAYNAI slipped out of Lukan's room as quietly as I could, casting one last glance back at his still form.The relief from Doctor Vale's assurance that he had recover was still fresh but a dark tension twisted in my gut. There was one more thing left to handle Down the hall, passed the rows of rooms on both sides, I took the stairs leading to the back of the Packhouse which might lead me to the parking lot if I took another bend, Doctor Vale waited for me there . His hands were clasped behind his back, his sharp gaze trained on me the second around the corner."Doctor Vale,"I murmured as I approached ,keeping my voice low." Thank you for coming all this way."He nodded his expression unreadable."You wanted to speak privately, Miss Zayna?"I glanced around before pulling him aside to a more quiet corner. My pulse was pounding, my heart hammering with the weight of what I was about to ask him. The fear in me almost made my heart to stop beating but I tried not to show it. "I trus

MERIDAI pushed the door open slowly, glancing back at the hallway making sure no one saw me come in.I wasn't supposed to be sneaking in, no.But there was something I needed. Lukan was still unconscious, I had heard the doctor they had sent for, say that he will recover soon.I had to gather enough information and the only person in the Pack house I could tell this was Lemuel.I was walking on thin ice and there was so many things I didn't know. I still heard Investigator's voice in my ears even when I tried so much to shut it.𝑌𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎 𝑡𝑤𝑖𝑛 𝑠𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟.Truthfully the investigator's words had shocked me, sending my mind spiraling in directions I never knew existed. A sister? Even the thought of it made me shudder. Aunt Ophelia had never mentioned this to me and I had no memory of her.
