The stench of silver dust filled the air, and every breath seared my lungs. My broken body lay twisted among the jagged rocks of the abandoned silver mine, where even the strongest werewolf would feel their strength waning. Beside me, my mate’s first love, Sophia, whimpered softly. A shallow scrape marked her knee. The tunnel was collapsing. Only two people could pass through the exit at a time. Lucas did not hesitate to scoop Sophia in his arms and abandon me. His golden eyes, once filled with unwavering loyalty toward me, now burned with something colder—indifference. I reached out, my fingers trembling as they grasped the hem of his clothing. My voice was hoarse with despair. "Lucas… please… don't leave me here." “I am your mate. I’m carrying your pups.” He glanced at me with a clenched jaw and broke free, shoving me back onto the silver-laced ground. Agony burned through my veins, consuming my soul like fire. “Are you serious, Ava?! After pushing Sophia into this damn abyss and getting her injured, you still dare to compare with her.” “You know what?! You deserve to be left here and reflect on your mistakes!” With that, he vanished into the light, and the tunnel collapsed behind him. His words cut deeper than silver ever could, and the last thing I heard before darkness swallowed me was the sound of their retreating footsteps.
View MoreThe scene came to an abrupt halt. The blue glow of the enchanted stone faded like moonlight dispersing at dawn, leaving behind only a lingering wisp of the Silver Moon Pack’s unique soul scent, floating weightlessly in the air.“Ava… my Ava…”My mother, a Beta she-wolf now aged with grief, sobbed so hard she could barely breathe. Her howls were raw and broken, the kind only a mother makes when mourning her lost pup.Her claws dug deep into the wooden floor, splintering the planks beneath her trembling fingers, but she didn’t seem to notice.She had raised me from a fragile newborn, feeding me the softest cuts of meat, licking my fur clean with the warmth of her tongue, and teaching me to pray to the Moon Goddess under the full moon.Never in her worst nightmares had she imagined that the daughter she had nurtured with so much love would die in a cold, collapsing mine—her body shattered beyond recognition.Lucas’s father, the old Alpha, exhaled heavily, rubbing his temples as if he had
The former Alpha leaned heavily on his wolf-headed cane, his aged claws carving deep grooves into the worn handle. Rage rippled through his body, and the weight of his dominance filled the funeral hall. The lower-ranked wolves whimpered, instinctively tucking their tails between their legs under the suffocating pressure of his pheromones.“For that treacherous, scent-marked harlot,” the elder Alpha growled, his voice layered with a thunderous dual-tone, shaking the very air, “you turned your back on your Luna and your unborn heir!”The crystal chandelier overhead swayed under the force of his words.“By the Moon Goddess, do you even deserve the blood oath Ava swore for you?”Lucas’s fangs pressed so hard against his lip that fresh blood trickled down his chin. The silver-gray fur along his nape bristled in agitation. Despite everything, his instinct to defend his chosen mate kicked in.“Father, how can you say that about Sophia?” His voice wavered, the authority of an Alpha weakening.
Lucas’s claws raked deep into the coffin lid, leaving five jagged scars in the polished wood. The silver lining along the edges hissed as it burned his flesh, filling the air with the acrid scent of charred skin. As an Alpha, he had never known fear—until now. His ears flattened against his skull, and his tail tucked tightly between his legs.“Alpha Lucas… by the Moon Goddess…” The funeral director, an Omega, dropped to one knee in submission, his voice trembling. “Please… accept the Moon’s will.”He lifted the coffin lid, and the overwhelming scent of wolfsbane filled the room. The smell of an herb that suppresses a werewolf’s natural regeneration, to ensure the dead remain dead.Lucas’s pupils constricted to mere pinpricks as the truth hit him like a silver dagger to the heart. The mangled body inside the coffin carried my unmistakable scent, now tainted with the metallic sting of dried blood.Then, his gaze locked onto my SCARA vicious claw mark slashed across my left chest.Thre
Lucas's claws extended uncontrollably, slashing through his phone screen, leaving five deep cracks. As the heir to the Alpha bloodline, his slit-pupiled golden eyes contracted into razor-thin slivers under the moonlight. The silver-gray fur along his arms bristled, standing on the end.“This is impossible…” His voice was rough, laced with an animalistic growl. His canines scraped against his lower lip, a subconscious reaction to his rising rage. “Just three nights ago, during the full moon hunt, Ava had led the second pack squad as a Beta—strong, fast, untouchable. A werewolf's vitality wasn’t something that simply vanished.” Sophia immediately dropped to one knee in a submissive Omega posture, picking up the shattered phone. Tilting her head slightly, she made sure to expose the curve of her neck and chest—an instinctive move to gain Lucas’s attention.“Lucas, calm down,” she murmured, her voice soft as if soothing an unruly pup.“Didn’t Ava used to fake injuries just to lure you
Sophia was finally discharged from the pack’s medical ward a few days later.The night was deep, the crescent moon was hanging high, casting its pale glow over the dense forest. In the distance, a chorus of wolves howled, their mournful cries echoing through the silent expanse of trees.Sophia leaned delicately against Lucas, her voice soft and sweet as she spoke.“Lucas, I’m still not fully recovered. It’s… inconvenient for me to live alone right now.”“Could you take me home? Of course, if it’s too much trouble, I understand…”Lucas narrowed his golden eyes, which gleamed eerily in the moonlight. He chuckled, a sound laced with the possessiveness and protectiveness of a true Alpha.“You can’t never be a trouble, Sophia?! I will personally take care of you.”He held her carefully as they stepped into his black SUV. The vehicle rumbled to life, moving steadily down the winding forest road. Towering, ancient trees loomed over them, their bare branches whispering in the wind. Moonlight s
“Beta, bring Ava to me. I need a few answers from her.” Lucas ordered his Beta, his expression cold, his voice icy. The Beta lowered his head, his voice trembling with fear. “Alpha Lucas, Luna Ava is no more. She is already dead.”“What do you mean?! No more?! “She is dead, my Alpha. Her–Her body has been recovered.” His pupils constricted sharply, as if he had just heard the most ridiculous joke. He let out a cold laugh, his sharp fangs slightly exposed. “Since when did you allow Ava to bribe you? Since when did you dare to lie to me?”Before Beta could respond, Lucas vanished in the blur of speed, disappearing from my sight..I followed him—trapped in this ethereal state, my soul could do nothing but drift helplessly in his wake.He stormed into the doctor’s office, kicking the door open with a force that shook the entire room. The doctor paled at the sight of the furious Alpha, cold sweat rolling down his face.“L-Lucas, sir, I—”Lucas didn’t allow him to finish and grabbed him
The pack elders had retrieved my broken body from the depths of the mine, my limbs twisted unnaturally, my flesh marred by the cruel burn of silver. The pack’s call echoed through the night, a regular howl, not a mournful one. Just to signal the passing of one of our own, not to mourn the loss of Luna. My once-proud wolf form had been reduced to a grotesque shell, my spirit lingering above, forced to witness what remained of my existence.I, too, was brought to the hospital, and the nurse notified my family. After a while, I saw my mother rushing towards me. Her steps were unsteady, as if she might collapse under the weight of her sorrow. Her eyes, clouded with grief, locked onto the lifeless shell that was once her daughter.She knelt beside my body, gripping my cold, stiff hands, her sobs raw and unrestrained, a sound reminiscent of a wolf mourning its dead pup."Ava, my little girl..." Her voice cracked, breaking into a heart-wrenching wail. It was the kind of grief that co
I met a desperate death in the silver mine. The mind link was severed, and Lucas could no longer sense my condition.The silver-infused air corroded my body, my blood burning as if set ablaze. Every inch of my skin twisted in excruciating pain.My bones had already shattered from the fall, and the power of the silver had suppressed my most basic healing abilities. My howls echoed in the bottomless pit, only to fade into silence.Darkness engulfed me like a beast devouring my soul, yet the muffled voices from above kept my consciousness teetering between life and death.I struggled to summon the remnants of my wolf instincts, to awaken the slumbering beast within me, and break free from this abyss. But the silver’s corrosion left me powerless.I was nothing more than a lifeless heap of flesh, swallowed by the cold stone.When the pack finally found my body, it was already unrecognizable—bloodied and broken, my stiffened wolf claws curled in agony. My fur was charred black, and my expos
