A LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY

*****************************************

" Mummy,look here I caught a Rabbit"The sound of a little girl was heard running towards Margeret who was harvesting fruits and putting it in the basket.

"Wow Athena,am so proud"Margeret said to the little ten years old girl who was the epitome of beauty ,she had long red hair and big innocent eyes with gleaming silver pupils,her skin was pale almost as white as snow,blood red lips almost the same color of her hair and deep cute dimples.The neighbors of the town were shocked by the young girls beauty,some were jealous of the little girl while some adored her.Margeret had gotten married to a farmer and gave birth to a little girl called Rose.Rose looked like her parents and had similar features,brown hair and brown pupils,fair skin and pink rosy lips,she also had dimples and brought her mother's beauty.Rose was eight years old and very shy and composed a lot different from her sister's energetic and vivacious behavior.

It was late in the night in a cabin right in the middle of the forest not far from the town square.Margeret was singing a very beautiful lullaby to her two girls,Rose had fallen asleep while Athena's eyes were still shining bright

"Mummy,why don't I look you or daddy?"Athena asked cutting Margeret off in her song,Athena wasn't only a beautiful little girl but she was also very curious,smart and easy to learn.

"Darling You are special and like I always told you..."

" Prescious jewels shouldn't be seen around common people "They both recited and laughed afterwards.

"Now go to bed,sweet dreams."Margeret said kissing her forehead and tucking her in bed.

"I love you mummy."Athena said with a heartwarming smile.Margeret smiled and switched off the lamp before going back to her husband's room it was mostly made of wood the walls were made of wood and so were the ceilings,a shiny light hanged providing light to the dark room and two lamps seated at each sides of the bed on top a wooden stool pictures of the family were placed on the wooden wall as decorations and brown cottons covered the window matching in contrast with the wood.She sat on the bed lost in thought.Jeremiah, Margeret's husband,woke up as soon as he felt the other side of the bed go down slightly.

He kissed her neck,going down to her shoulders,then her hands.Margeret who was still lost in thoughts gave an unwilling shrug.

"What's wrong Hun?"Jeremiah asked.

"It's Athena Jer,she's getting more curious by the day!"Margeret said and Jeremiah fell silent.

"She is a smart little girl,how long till she realizes you are not her real Father?"Margeret said.

Jeremiah placed his hands on Margeret's shoulders.

"Don't worry love,we will always be here for her and Rose."Jeremiah said with a smile and resumed kissing her shoulders.

"What if Someone sees the Dragon marking behind her neck?"Margeret asked worriedly.

"They will surely take her away from me "Margeret said again.

"Come here love."Jeremiah said and adjust a little putting Margeret's head on his chest.

"Everything is going to be alright."Jeremiah said and gave her a loving kiss as they both dozed off.

The Next day

Athena woke up to the delicious scent of Fried pork and rice.She instantly ran towards where the smell was coming from and sat at her usual spot on the table holding a fork and a spoon.

"Haha,no angel you need to go freshen up first,brush your teeth, take your bath and wear appropriate cloths just like Rose here"Jeremiah said with a smile pointing to Rose who suddenly poked her tongue out,teasing Athena.

"But Dad I'll do that when am done eating"Athena said with a pout.

"No, I won't allow it"Jeremiah said and Athena left.

"Daddy,where's mummy?"Rose asked looking around for her mom but she was no where to be found.

"She went to the market, she'll be back shortly Hun."Jeremiah said.

There was a knock at the door and Jeremiah went to get it only to find two unidentified strangers standing there and due to Jeremiah's physique and muscular structure they froze and gulped.

"Uhh,we are from the pa...palace to check on the people,it's an order from the king!"one of the guard said.

" Ohh,that's good,keep up the good work."Jeremiah said with a smile and slammed the door at their faces.

"Daddy who was that"Rose asked with creased brows.

"Just some guards on patrol"Jeremiah said and Rose sat back and dived in her food.Athena came back all prepared and dressed like a boy.

"Why do you like wearing boys clothes?"Rose asked.

"I think it suits me"Athena said before going back to her chair,her food was served and she dived in like a hungry beast.

"Take it easy my angel before you choke on your food"Jeremiah said also eating at the table.

"But it's just so good"Athena said

"Really,so tell me Angel, Mummy's or Daddy's cooking which do you like best?"Jeremiah asked with a grin.

"Don't tell mum but I think I like your cooking better."Athena said.

"I heard that"Margeret who was standing behind Athena all this while suddenly said something which caused Athena to jolt.

"You heard wrong mummy,good morning,how was your day?"Athena asked with a very warm smile.

"Lovely dear,are you both enjoying your meal?"Margeret asked.

"Yes Mummy"The two girls answered.

"of course you are"Margeret said.

"Good morning hun."Margeret said giving Jeremiah a kiss.

"Have you noticed the guards patrolling around this zone lately?"Margeret asked.

"Yea they seem a bit much nowadays"Jeremiah said.

"Am scared love"Margeret said worriedly.

"It's going to be fine Maggie,don't worry"Jeremiah said when he noticed Margeret's uneasyness.

"I can't help it,I just feel something bad is going to happen."Margeret said clutching her neck slightly, something she normally does when she was stressed, nervous or worried,which Athena seemed to have picked up.

Hades' Cursed Luna

In a world where Lycans and werewolves are sworn enemies, Eve Valmont is a werewolf cursed by a prophecy and framed. Betrayed by her own pack and imprisoned for years, her fate takes a darker twist when she is offered to the Lycan King, Hades Stavros—a ruler feared for his ruthless conquests and deadly prowess. Bound by an ancient prophecy and haunted by the ghosts of her past, Eve is now at the mercy of the one being she should hate and fear the most—The Hand of Death himself. Hades, a king carved from blood and his own soul's decay, determined to avenge his family's slaughter and rid his people of the werewolves. He believes Eve is the key to his victory. To him, she is nothing but weapon foretold by prophecy, a tool he will wield to destroy the opposing forces threatening his pack. Yet, he finds himself craving this powerful yet broken woman. Leaving him questioning if she is truly his weapon or the one destined to unravel his carefully laid plans. *** He stalked toward me, a predator closing in on its prey, his eyes dark and unreadable. "So, you laugh?" His voice was low, dangerously soft, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I swallowed hard, suddenly aware of how difficult it had become to breathe. "Hades, I—" "But you only laugh at other men's jokes," he interrupted, his gaze piercing, devoid of any humor. "Not your husband's." The accusation in his tone was sharp, slicing through the air between us. A nervous chuckle escaped me. "You can't be serious... He’s your beta, for Goddess’ sake." In an instant, he closed the distance between us, so fast it left me breathless. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me flush against his body, the heat of him making my skin tingle. I gasped, but before I could say a word, his lips crashed onto mine, claiming my mouth with a force that sent shockwaves through me. The kiss was punishing, hungry—I couldn't breathe, couldn't think. When he finally pulled back, I was trembling, my chest heaving as I struggled to regain my breath. His eyes, dark and stormy, searched mine with a possessive intensity. "You can’t laugh at my jokes..." he whispered, his voice a dangerous rasp as his fingers trailed lower, sending a shiver down my spine, "but you’ll come with my fingers." I shivered, heat pooling low in my belly at his words, his touch. The world around us blurred, fading into nothing as his hand slipped lower, drawing a ragged gasp from my lips. The look in his eyes told me he knew exactly what he was doing to me, and there was no denying the primal connection between us in that moment. "I don’t need your laughter," he murmured against my skin, his breath hot on my neck. "I’ll have every other part of you instead." **** Dark fantasy romance Morally Grey ML Angst Suspense ENEMIES to lovers Smut (like sprinkles on your ice cream)

What was worse than death itself? Well it was dying knowing that no one would miss you, knowing that your death was a favour to everyone you ever knew. This was exactly how I felt the day I died. I was the love child of the Eclipse Alpha King, in a time where the mate bond was considered sacred, a child born out of wedlock was nothing short of sacrilegious... 'It was his fault, he loved someone other than his mate...' 'It was his fault, he had carnal knowledge of a human woman.' 'It was all his fault, my only crime was being born out of his lust.' But why was that Alpha King father of mine perfectly safe, while I was hated, scorned and blamed for everything instead? Why did I have to be my father's bargaining chip, used to achieve his goals? Why could I not get a rejection like everyone else but was instead murdered by my own mate? Why was I killed before I even had a chance to live? I had a thousand questions and yet there was no one to answer and this was exactly how I died... So why then did my eyes flutter open to that day, a month before my death? Was it because of my little secret? A secret I will tell no one else but you... From the title of my tale, you must think I am an omega wolf... No, you got it wrong... I am not an Omega wolf, I am an Alpha wolf and my name is Omega. ~Second Book in the Werewolf Rebirth Series. *Not a prequel or sequel to 'The Alpha King's Nemesis', both books are not related save for the world setting and Werewolf Rebirth concept. *Cover art sourced from the internet, all credits to the original artist.*
