All Chapters of Scent of Desire : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Darkness enveloped the Starfall Forest, its dense canopy casting deep shadows that seemed alive with mystery."Hoot! Hoot!"The owls’ sharp cries pierced the serene stillness of the night, until the faint, rhythmic sound of footsteps broke through, rustling the brittle leaves and snapping dry twigs underfoot.A creature of the night was running, darting through the dense woods of Auryn’s Starfall Forest.Her breaths came in short, heavy bursts as she pushed herself to run faster. Her path led upward, toward the towering mountain that marked the border between the rival kingdoms of Auryn and Verena.Finally, she reached the summit, her slender, golden form framed against the vast night sky. Rising onto her hind legs, the she-wolf tilted her head back and fixed her rare lavender eyes on the moon—a giant orb of silver light radiating an ethereal glow. Like a queen presiding over her celestial court, the moon stood sentinel among a sea of glittering stars, its presence both commanding and

"Wow, this place is breathtaking."I mumbled to myself as I stepped into the grand hall on the VIP floor. The décor was exquisite, far more luxurious than the ground floor. A renowned pianist played a soft melody on a grand piano while elegantly dressed couples swayed to the rhythm, their movements as graceful as the music itself."I need to find Mr. Hogg before anyone recognizes me," I thought, weaving my way through the crowd. Instead of heading left toward the main gathering, I turned right, toward the restricted area.This floor was exclusively for elite guests, and the security was noticeably tighter. As I approached the corridor leading to the guest rooms, two guards immediately blocked my path."May we see your ID card, ma’am?" one of them asked sternly.I forced a polite smile and pretended to rummage through my handbag. "Oh, of course! Just give me a moment."After a brief pause, I let out a small sigh and said in my sweetest tone, "I’m so sorry, but I seem to have left it in

"Damn it, Isaac!"I cursed under my breath, storming down the quiet corridor of the second floor. My hands trembled as I repeatedly dialed his number, my frustration mounting. "Why isn’t he answering?"Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision, while my face—pale and drawn—showed the torment I couldn’t escape.Barefoot, clutching my heels in one hand, I stumbled out of Velvet Villa into the stillness of the early morning. The streets were empty, save for a light mist rolling across the ground. There weren’t any guards around, which was a blessing. No one stopped me, no one questioned my disheveled appearance.I dragged my tired body further away from the villa, every step an effort. My head throbbed, and the tears burned my cheeks. I muttered through gritted teeth, "How did I end up with him again?"The memories of last night replayed in my mind, each one piercing my heart like a dagger. My face turned hot with a mixture of anger and shame as I choked out, "I… I hate him. I hate h

Good Evening, Aldus.”Eden curtsied to the Mage as he explained briefly, “Eliza Claire Gold is here to get your blessing so that she can officially join the pack tonight.”Aldus’s young voice echoed again, “Come inside. Let me have a glimpse of her destiny.” The room was dark still now but the moment we stepped in, a bright light filled the room and I found an old man with long white hair and dark eyes, sitting on a couch with a heavy book in his hand.He had a very gentle smile, peeping through his silky grey beard. Looking up at me, he greeted me warmly, “Good Evening, Miss Eliza. May I?”He raised his hand in front of me as he asked for my hand. He had a very unique aura, powerful yet mysterious and unpredictable. I felt awkward and slightly scared. But, he added again, “Don’t be scared, Young Lady. It will not be as painful as your first transformation.”Smiling nervously, I placed my hand on his, “I am not scared at all.”Chuckling, the old man covered my hand with his as he clos

(POV of Eliza Claire Gold when she was still 19 years old)The sparkling stars filled the dark sky of the night. The full moon looked like a graceful queen, ruling over those diamond-like stars as its silvery light wrapped everything like a thin blanket.While walking through our porch, I headed to our flower fields which was my favourite spot to calm myself down. After meeting Aldus, I was feeling so restless that I needed some time to calm down before I could go back to the party.Eden allowed me to take a walk on our porch for only 10 minutes and he returned to the hall. Flowers carpeted the field below me, blooming as far as the eyes could see. My eyes searched for a spot where the flowers were thin and I sat down there, looking at the sky. It was like sinking into a fantasy world. I always felt that the flowers were so large and much more beautiful when sitting among them.Numerous fireflies began to approach me while flying around me as if I were their sole purpose of living.
