I continued to run farther than was supernaturally possible—far away from Calle, leaving dust behind until finally, darkness enveloped whatever remained ahead of me. But then I halted as I heard the screams. At first, I thought it was only in my head, like a product of my own distress from what I had just gone through. But something wasn't right. Something dark had seemed to descend upon our town.Then the screams started to get louder and more desperate. I couldn’t just ignore the shrieking voices, so I turned in their direction. And then, as I ran with more speed, chasing the sound, I realized that the screams were coming from the direction of my school.What greeted me there made my blood run cold. Dark shadows filled every corner, surrounding students and teachers alike with their writhing tentacles of pure darkness. As I got closer, I could see them starting to attack the students. They were tearing them apart with their bare hands! It seemed like a living nightmare—one where no
I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked into the school clinic and saw Daphne lying motionless on a bed. Her clothes were torn and tinged with blood, and her face was pale as snow. She looked like she had been through hell herself. My heart ached at the sight of her; I felt so helpless, and there was nothing more that I could do for her at this moment other than simply be by her side."If only I had protected you better..." I crouched beside her, cradling her in my arms, as hot tears streamed down my cheeks onto hers—salty, stinging droplets of sadness that seemed to soak away into an eternity of blackness. My throat ached with the weight of all this sorrow, but still. I could not stop weeping for what I had done—or rather, for what she did because of us.All around me were trying to console and comfort me, but I couldn't hear them over the howling of my wolf within. It felt like a part of myself had been ripped away and that nothing would ever be alright again without her by my side
I woke up in a cold and smelly prison cell. My head was throbbing and it felt like I'd been drugged with something to make me weak. There were no windows or doors - just four walls of damp stone stretching far above my reach into the darkness.My first thought was that this had all been some kind of mistake. surely they couldn't be keeping me here? But then reality hit home as I realized where exactly I was; there would be no escape unless someone opened those heavy iron gates for me... and who knew when that might happen?I reached out my mind, searching for a way to use magic to break free from this place. So I reached for the soul stone hanging on my neck. But upon not touching anything, I looked down and frowned. “Shit! I forgot the Daphne slut has destroyed it!”My heart was racing abnormally and I was close to panicking when I walked back and forth, wrapping my arms around my body. “There’s still a way,” I muttered, then raised my chin, singing the same chanting song I use in
Anger ran through my veins as I followed Alpha Calle's scent down the hallway toward the garden. The wind chilled despite being summer and clouds began to shelter the night sky as if they were foretelling what was about to come.When I reached the garden, I saw Alpha Calle standing near a tall tree that resembled a fierce guardian angel keeping watch over all of us. As I approached, I felt my anger boiling inside even more—the realization that it was all true becoming clearer with each step closer I took toward him.Before I could even open my mouth to speak, however, Calle turned around and faced me with an almost sad expression in his eyes."She already told you, isn’t she?" Calle started, his voice filled with a mix of regret and sorrow.“Yes.” I clenched my teeth. “Would you mind telling me all the details?”He stood silent for several long moments before finally speaking, his voice low and steady in contrast to mine. "Daphne—she is my mate,” he admitted straight into my face. “Th
I took a sip of my morning espresso, letting the strong yet smooth flavor slide down my throat. My gaze roamed around the dining hall to find any signs of distress in other pack mates, but all I found were peaceful and contented souls—all except for one man who was walking towards me with an anxious expression plastered on his face."Good morning, Alpha." It was Beta Jaime, who had returned from an overnight patrol only a few minutes ago. He looked haggard, yet determined. There were dark circles under his eyes that told stories much darker than what could be seen by looking away from them."Beta Jaime," I said without taking any time for greetings or pleasantries—I already knew why Jaime wanted to speak with me this early in the morning. "What can I do for you?"Jaime took a deep breath, as if gathering enough courage to ask something crucial or dangerous. Finally, after some hesitation, he blurted out, "It’s Yvette—my wife. She disappeared five days ago, and I just came back home af
I gasped as I tried to get up. My vision turned blurry when she approached, a dagger gripped firmly in her hand. My air was cut off when her hands grabbed my neck tight, her nails almost cutting my skin.She was squeezing my neck when I spoke, "What if I said no?" Her grip on my neck tightened more, her face right in front of me. I felt the unpleasant sensation of her nails scratching my skin as she tried to choke me."You can't. Your father and I made an agreement that you would do everything he told you. You have to do as I say," she croaked as she pressed harder on my neck.This witch was insane! And never had I expected that all this time, her loyalty still belonged to my jerk father! He was already dead but still, he would not want to leave me alone!"You have to die. It's the only way," she snapped as my vision almost turned black. My whole body grew cold and numb, and she choked me. "You're a threat to our pack, Alpha Lennon."I tried to struggle, but my strength was failing me
I returned to the pack home, trailed by Beta Degen. But Beta Jaime was the first person I looked for as I stepped through the entrance. His absence was strange, as he was always there to meet me like a receptionist. I scanned the room and growled. "Where the hell is Jaime?""Alpha!" A servant came rushing over, bowing slightly, and continued to speak. "Beta Jaime left with luggage earlier this morning," the servant explained respectfully. "He asked me to pass along his apologies. He mentioned something about needing time away from the pack.""So, he's not coming back." I chuckled bitterly. Jaime thought he was important enough to just leave without any explanation. Well, the pack would be better off without someone who couldn't handle their responsibilities. It was time for me to find a new beta, someone who would be loyal and dedicated to our cause.With that thought, I turned to Degen. "Gather the warriors together, and we will begin to plan for the upcoming war with Calle's main pa
I sat alone in my office, grief and desperation coursing through me. I had lost the only woman I'd ever loved; she was gone from this world far too soon. And now even my friendship with Degen seems to be falling apart due to a misunderstanding between us.With a heavy heart, I looked up at Amelia, who stood tall before me. "Do whatever it takes to bring Daphne back."Amelia replied softly, "Alpha Calle, as much as it pains me to say this, one can only heal those that are still alive or hold onto life's fragile threads.""Then find someone who can!" My voice shook the walls around us like thunder, and Amelia quickly bowed her head to show that she understood. Then she ran off to do my task.For a long moment, I just sat there in my silent office, filled with an unspeakable mixture of emotions—anger, sorrow, regret, and hope. As much as I wanted to bring Daphne back, I knew it was beyond my power to do so. All I could do was wait and pray that Amelia would find me the help I needed befo
Sitting by the river, I reflected on the wonderful occasions I had shared with my packmates, such as playing in the meadow, hunting, and rushing through the forest. I also thought back on the dark times, like when a maniacal alpha and black witches besieged our pack. But through it all, we stuck together and emerged stronger than ever before. It seemed like ages ago since those memorable times, and yet it felt like only yesterday when all of this started. I sighed heavily and closed my eyes for a moment. Suddenly, a voice called out to me through our mental link. "Luna Daphne, come back to us quickly! Our pack is under attack from rogue wolves. We need backup immediately! Alpha Calle is..." Her voice was like a cry coming out loud even though it can only be heard within minds linked together. "Kyla?" I croaked as panicked thoughts raced through my head, sending an adrenaline rush coursing through me. "Did you say rogue attack? Wait, where's Calle?" My muscles tensed up, and before
Suddenly, an eye of swirling air opened up as if it had been drawn on with a great lash, and then a hurricane rushed across the battlefield and made us all cover our faces to protect ourselves from the flying mud and chunks of trees. When it faded, Kurt and Kyla stood in the middle of the circle of bloody ground. They looked around with horror before their sights slowly fell on me. The dirt was churned up where they stood, and clots of grass were bent and tangled around their feet."Alpha Calle!" The twins rushed toward me. "You need to take this!"Before I could speak, Kyla put a small vial in my hands. Its liquid content glistened with an otherworldly glow, pulsating with an energy that seemed to hum in my palms. I only stared at it as Kurt spoke. "Daphne already regained her powers after drinking the elixir. She has probably defeated Lennon by now.""Please, Alpha, drink this before it's too late," Kyla pleaded.I took the small vial from Kyla's hands. The weight of their expectati
Alpha CalleI walked through the portal, feeling its electric energy tingle in my body. I emerged on the other side to find that South America had become a wasteland. People lay dead and dismembered everywhere; their blood soaked into what were once lush grasslands now barren of life. The trees were burnt black, smoke still rising from them like an ominous warning to all who dared venture near this cursed place.But there was one living being here: Alpha Khalid stood tall amongst it all, his silver hair blowing in the wind as he surveyed his pack's destruction with sadness and rage etched onto every line of his face. He gave me an exhausted look before addressing me without words: "You've returned!"“Of course," I replied firmly. "Let's go!"The fight had taken its toll, and I was exhausted. Sweat ran down my face as I blocked a werewolf's assault with my shield and slashed another one open with my sword. I could feel the shock that surged through me when I heard Alpha Khalid shout fo
LennonThe next day, I woke up alone in my den but five beautiful nymphs had come to remove their clothes so I could choose the woman I would sleep with next. They were all eager to please and each one was more ravishing than the last; from fair-skinned goddesses with long, voluminous hair, to dark-haired beauties with sparkling eyes.I felt like a king as I looked around me at all these beautiful women ready to serve me. It was truly a sight to behold and one that made me feel powerful. I slowly got out of bed and walked over to them, looking them each in the eye as if determining which of them would be my chosen companion for the night.Finally, after much consideration, I chose one of them who caught my attention straight away: an exotic beauty with almond eyes and long curly hair that framed her face perfectly. She blushed shyly when our gazes met and I couldn’t help but find it adorable.That night, we made love under the stars and I felt a connection with her unlike any other I
LennonI was dying. I could feel the lifeblood oozing out of my deep wounds, and each breath seemed to be my last. I had been crawling for hours, trying to escape the traitors who were after me. But in my weakened state, I had finally been caught and badly injured in the process. Now, there was no escaping death.My voice cracked and echoed through the empty night air, its plea for help unanswered. I lay helpless on the ground, surrounded by the fading warmth of my blood. Then, I heard them - a chorus of female voices, faint but getting ever closer. At first, I thought it was a dream, a trick of my mind brought on by the loss of blood. But no, I was lying on the cold earth outside a village entrance I had never seen before.The women came into view, stepping out from behind the gates in a rush. An otherworldly light illuminated their hands as they moved in perfect unison. With each passing second, the wounds on my body slowly healed until not even one scar remained.These women were n
DaphneLennon snapped his fingers, and the pack of wolves behind him began to move forward like pawns. The ground shook, and I used the tremor to my advantage. With a wave of my hand, the very earth below our feet seemed to become alive with energy. Giant roots sprouted from the ground, wrapping around Lennon’s men like tentacles. The men fought against their bonds, but it was ineffective because my force was holding them fast."Enough!" Lennon shouted in shock as his voice reverberated off the forest walls all around us and then there was a strange silence. He stumbled back, glaring at me incredulously as he stepped forward, his dark eyes flashing with rage and determination. "What is this?! How are you doing this?"“I’m drawing on the power of the Moon Goddess, just as she has taught me," I replied firmly, my voice echoing in the silence of the bright sky. I felt a rush of strength course through me—this was a power that had been dormant in me for far too long, and now it was bubbli
"Kyla!" Her green eyes looked like they were going to pop out of her head, and her face was a rictus of fear. "Please tell me what's bothering you, Kyla. Is this about your conversation with Kurt that both of you wouldn't tell me?"At first, she hesitated, but I was so eager to know the truth that I asked her again. "I won't stop asking you about it until—""I was the one who injected the potion into Alpha Calle, which is why both of you are still paralyzed by it."I was taken aback. My eyes widened in surprise. So, this was the truth she had been hiding all along. I felt a chill run down my spine as I heard her story."That evil Lennon blackmailed me. He said if I didn't make a potion to harm our Alpha, he would kill Aunt Amelia, who was also imprisoned by him. I
I hugged Calle back, tears streaming down my face. I knew what he was referring to. "It's okay," I said, reassuring him through tears. "We'll get our powers back and defeat Lennon together."He nodded, wiping away my tears. Then he took a deep breath and stood up. His voice was strong when he spoke again. "Yes, we will indeed. But first, we must figure out how to save the pack before any of that can happen."He went over to his coat and pulled something out of it. It was a book with the title 'Knowledge of Witch Souls.' I tilted my head, curious about the book he had found. "Who's book is that and how were you able to bring a book with you all this time?""I've been bringing this since I left Khalid's pack. It's invisible unless I grant it to be seen. This is the perk of having a company of witches around you."The mention of witches seemed to cast a dark cloud over us both. I could tell from the look in his eyes that he was just as heartbroken as I was, remembering the tragedy of Ame
Daphne As I passed an open door, a familiar voice stopped me in my tracks—it was Lennon. “She seems to be awake now! How will I mark her?” He seemed to be talking about me, and he sounded angry. Confusion coursed through me as two other voices joined the conversation. The woman's deep alto reverberated through the stale air, almost like lightning. "I told you the magic of memory covering was temporary. You should have done your part,” “Will Daphne submit to Alpha Lennon so easily?” The man bellowed, his voice carrying a familiar baritone timbre. "There's no other option than to move him before it's too late." My stomach lurched at their words. They were planning something terrible for Calle! I gathered all my strength and took a peek at the small space between the wall and the door. My heart sank upon spotting the two people Lennon was talking with. ‘ Amelia? Beta Degen?’ Reina muttered in a high-pitched voice. She appeared to be as confused as I was. ‘Am I hallucinating, Daph
