“Get up, sleepy head!”My eyes fluttered until they opened wide when a deep voice exploded in my ears. As my sight adjusted to the light, my breathing halted upon figuring out who those fierce sets of amber eyes were.“A-Alpha Calle?”I let myself look at his entire appearance for a little while. His loose, shoulder-length hair perfectly framed his chiseled features. His gray shirt, which was neither too loose nor too tight, emphasized the shape of his arms and body. And look how well those pairs of denim pants fit around his long, muscular legs. He was like a living sculpture. Even if he literally agitated the living daylights out of me when he woke me up, I wouldn't judge myself for admiring such a work of art.He perched on the edge of my bed, and I quickly got up. I could smell the fresh perfume of his aftershave from this close distance. "H-how did you get in here?" I questioned, scratching my forehead.He sighed. “Surprised? Guess what—I own the whole place, so it means I can co
As soon as I told Beta Degen that my wolf was nowhere to be found, he immediately sent me to see Alpha Calle. So the next thing I knew, I was sitting on the couch and silently pinching my hands' skin. My thoughts were racing over what the Alpha would do to a werewolf who couldn't even shift into a wolf. What if he made me his slave and the pack began to mistreat me?The more time I spent in this room, the more anxious I felt.I focused on the painted wall to divert my attention from the growing uneasiness. It was a painting depicting the continent of North America where we lived. I got to my feet and gingerly made my way over to the painted wall so I could examine its texture on my own. I couldn't help but be impressed by the monumental artwork. It appeared to be quite lively. The name Calle Earheart was swirled in a lovely round-handwriting in the lower left.‘That man is talented. I wonder what else he can do.’“You little wolf!”The door flung wide and a roar erupted across the roo
“I’m tired. Let’s stop by here for a while,” Reina pleaded at me.My eyes wandered around as Reina and I rested at the base of a massive root system. Some of the trees around us withered, rising out of the earth to brush against the sky. Sunlight danced across fern fronds and glistened off of morning dew. Meanwhile, just meters away from us was a quiet crystal clear stream. The water flow had a perfect sequence as it rushed across the rough rocks.“Can we just stay here forever?”I shot Reina a small smile when I turned to her. She was beautiful. Her silky fur shone as if she rolled over a thousand silver glitters. “Of course, girl. Here in the forest, no one’s going to harm us both. No one will tell us what to do and what not to do. We are free to decide for ourselves. We’ll only do fun stuff—running, hunting, playing in the streams, and sleeping until the sun is high again.”“Well, th
DaphneAfter I almost died yesterday at the hands of the wolf Gary, Alpha Calle had never spoken with me nor given me instructions to go to his office. But a few minutes ago, after I finished eating dinner, Beta Degen informed me that our Alpha was demanding my presence somewhere in the forest, rather than in his office.I wondered why.Maybe he was so furious about my ‘defiance’ that he wanted me to punish—or kill—in silence and out of the other’s knowledge. Although, according to Beta Degen, the Alpha had never killed a member of the pack before.Perhaps I'd be the first since I was the first one to break his orders—that was according to Beta Degen as well.“This is impossible
I wanted Gary to live as long as possible. Because I needed him, his death wasn't good for me. First off, I could utilize his ability to easily defeat my enemies if I could persuade him to join my pack. Second, if ever he fought back, I could send him into the dungeon to force him to provide information.However, due to his disrespectful attack that almost killed Daphne , I didn't think twice to roast him with my own hands and proudly trod on his frigid ashes.It didn't imply that I had any sympathy for the stubborn little wolf, Daphne . Even if the Moon Goddess led her to me, it was ultimately up to me to decide what to do. I would reject her if she still didn't qualify to be the future Luna. Who required a Luna, by the way? I could expertly run my packs by myself.However, because I got the opp
With all the shits that happened these past few days, I couldn’t deny that all I wanted—needed—for now, was a good night's sleep with Suzette beside me. The way her seductive gazes explored, the way she touched my wrist, and slid her fingers down to my hand were some evidence of her longing for me. I pulled her closer, displaying how badly I craved for her too. But regardless of how I liked to drag her up to my bedroom, I said, “Seeing you made my day, kitten. But right now, I have an important thing to do. See you tomorrow?” She frowned. “At past three in the morning? Is Beta Degen going with you?” I shook my head and smirked down at her. “I’m going out alone. The man is asleep, and when I return, I bet he’s still sleeping.” Her full lips parted to speak but I dipped a kiss on them before separating myself from her. *** My wolf, Dark, loved to roam the forest, especially in the middle of the night. That’s why, even though the trip to the Dark Vale pack was more than two hours by
When I returned to the pack borders, it was already near dawn. A few of the guards were on their routine patrol for any intruder trying to get inside the perimeter.My thoughts were already coiled in a spiral. Somehow the thought of Daphne being the mate of my rival caused an intense ache in the pit of my heart. This mate bond was playing with my head and it definitely ruined my unhinged plans for victory.I was supposed to reject her the moment she sensed our connection, but since I learned that she was possibly mated to my enemy, it seemed that the plans for rejection would be buried in the deepest pit of the woods.She couldn't be with anyone else. If I had to lock her inside this pack so Lennon wouldn't be able to see her, so be it.'I know that you're gonna have a change of heart about Daphne . But I don't expect it to come so soon!' Dark mused. 'You want the girl as much as I do. You just won't admit it!'"Shut. Up,” I gritted.Before this little stubborn she-wolf walked i
It had been a week since Alpha Calle or Beta Degen crossed paths with me in the packhouse. I was not complaining though that finally their focus was shifted to other stuff. Away from the Alpha's sight was a breather after that serious—even lethal—training in the woods.I couldn't forget how shocked I was the next morning when I woke up in my own bed dressed in a fresh cotton top and pants. I wasn't sure who brought me to my room since the staff that regularly attended to me had no idea, either.Could it be Alpha Calle? Was he the one who dressed me up without my knowing?All I knew was my muscles were in ache. It was as though I'd been hit against the rock countless times. But now, I was healing perfectly, and with my newly discovered powers, I was experimenting with a lot of stuff on my own. The power to move so quickly or move things without touching them had remained in me, but I never paid any special attention to it.This made me look back to my younger years. I still recalled ho
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
