Alpha Silent Protector Chapter 1
I ran.I've been through a lot in my life. Humiliating things, failed plans, broken ideals; perhaps more mistakes than successes. But even so, when Gregor looked into my eyes and proclaimed his contempt for me, it was as if my whole body shattered.Things hadn't been going very well. For a while, maybe."You're pathetic," he told me. I felt pathetic too. For lowering my head to him, for always letting him have his way with me.I don't know where it all went wrong.The next thing I knew, one day, he was no longer who I thought he was.Gregor was my predestined mate from childhood. We've lived through generations like that, with the Alphas of the pack choosing the prettiest girls for their sons, testing how the combination would look.I grew up with an idealization of what a mate meant anyway.My mother used to bring human literature home in secret. I'm not sure how she got hold of those books, but they fascinated me: they all described men who were strong and respectful, powerful but f

When I was eighteen, my clan performed the ascension ritual for Gregor to take his father's place as alpha. We were the same age, and I remember how excited my mother was that I had been chosen as his partner, and that, until then, nothing had proved otherwise.Gregor and I got along as well as we could. I never thought that one day I would run away from him and that, for a millisecond, would rather that rival alpha just put an end to it.I took another step back. The heavy shadows of the trees stopped covering my body, and I felt exposed, bathed in moonlight, trying to hide my arms as if they were too intimate.He took another step towards me. I closed my eyes. Of course, this was the moment he would attack me. I wouldn't survive an aggressive bite from an alpha.His eyes, a war-yellow, shone with some kind of curiosity as he analyzed my body. From head to toe, he judged me mutely, his eyes lingering on the marks on my skin.The other wolves were getting closer. I could hear their fo

The walk was silent and awkward.The Frostbites surrounded me as if I were a prisoner, which I feared I really was. Gregor could sniff me out if I was in danger, but as much as I wanted to deceive myself and tell myself it wasn't true, I knew deep down that he wouldn't come after me. Maybe he'd be relieved that I'd gone off on my own, maybe it'd be the highlight of his day. I don't know.In any case, they didn't seem aggressive.Viktor's companions whispered among themselves. They watched me, attentive to any movement on my part, as if I were planning to plunge a knife into their alpha's neck at any moment. I understood the caution. I would also be wary if I met a Frostbite in my condition; I would think it was a trap, a set-up.One of them was in her wolf form. It looked like a female. She walked beside Viktor, and I wondered if she could be his mate from the way they communicated non-verbally, and how his fingers brushed against her hair at times.She and he were the only ones who d

There wasn't much to do there.There was nothing in the drawers, the windows were closed and the door remained locked for a long time until the woman at reception delivered a plate of food.She just slid it into the room and closed the door, but I could still see her shadow in the gap underneath.I took the plate and sat down on the floor, placing it on my lap. I stared at the door."What are you planning to do to me?" I asked, doing my best to keep my voice steady knowing that she was listening.The shadow moved away. I couldn't even be offended at being ignored, considering my situation.I sighed, staring at the plate. It was kind of them to feed a prisoner (or as kind as one could be to keep a prisoner in the first place), especially with such well-made food. It must have been the same dinner served to the other guests of what I was assuming was a hotel.Why would Viktor care about my comfort, knowing who I was? Knowing that I, an Ashenfur, bore Gregor's mark on my skin?I picked u

VIKTORIt didn't make sense. Gregor was a disappointing guy. This was something everyone knew in a way that set aside the difference between our banners—this wasn’t about clan rivalry when it came to Gregor, not entirely. All the Frostbite knew it was impossible to fit him into a single positive adjective.First, I thought it might be an ambush, but it didn't seem like it. The bruises, her behavior... the way we found her, with blue lips, alone. Gregor should have noticed her absence by now, but perhaps he didn't know that she was distancing herself from him on purpose. He certainly had no way of knowing that she was with the enemy."We reinforced the main gate," Pandora said, crossing her arms and leaning against the thin wooden boards of the trim. I had spent the whole day answering worried questions from the panicked villagers, questioning what was on my mind to bring an Ashenfur like that straight to our quarters."Thanks, Pan," I said without looking back at her. Even so, I could

LENABeing so far from Gregor for so long physically hurt. It no longer seemed like a good idea, and it embarrassed me that, even after everything, I couldn't completely turn my feelings into hatred as I wanted.Being in this room wasn't so bad, on the other hand. The blankets were warm, they gave me food and provided me with new, albeit makeshift, clothes. Only the boredom remained a hindrance as I lay down and stared at the ceiling, especially in a moment where my head was too full and proving too terrible for me to be left alone with just my thoughts.At first, I tried to latch onto the external noises. Some dialogue that could entertain me and take my mind off all the shit going on with Gregor and the rest of the clan, but it seemed that the closer to my hotel room (prison), the less people talked.It was understandable. They were still wary of me, I understood that. But they could also be planning other things. Although Viktor seemed kind enough and the protection he offered was g

That must have been the strangest scene of my life.I didn’t understand. What exactly happened? I knew I was the one who killed those hunters, but it happened so suddenly that my head hurt just trying to understand it. Why? Where did this power come from? Have I always had it? Why didn’t I use it before?I looked at all those Frostbites, bowing. They didn’t dare to look me in the eyes, as if I were… some kind of entity, a superior creature.The reddish glow still faintly radiated from my body, gradually fading. There was no transformation, my body didn’t take its wolf form… that ball of power just bubbled up, as if it had been suppressed for a long time.The scene before me was grotesque. The bodies, the blood, and those people bowing to me, even while injured.I stared at Viktor. He seemed displeased, having bowed only at someone else’s request, breathing heavily. The arrows were lodged in his back, and I saw blood dripping from his body, but no one did anything. They were just on the

We walked in silence.She led me to what looked like an empty garden. We sat at a table under the shade of a tree, with Pandora giving orders to some of the others to bring water.Some of them were looking at me in awe, and others with nothing but pure fear, with their mouths shut and their heads down. I didn't feel that powerful, not after seeing them like that.The tension didn't come only from the wounded alpha that might be dying for aiding me. Pandora, worried for her probable mate, looked at me, and I sensed something boiling beneath."We are sorry," she said. I was certain that she didn’t really want to say that, and that it came from somewhere else that I couldn’t identify yet. I frowned. "What?" "We’re sorry." She paused, her eyes lowering to nothing. "We didn’t know about you. Why did you keep it a secret?" "Keep what a secret?" Her knuckles were pale. She clenched her fists tightly, perhaps irritated or impatient. I wasn’t sure where this conversation was heading, a

"It was her memories."Huh?"That can't be possible.""Possible? You occasionally glow like the fucking sun and that is something you still can't believe? Come on."That was absolutely terrifying."But— I've never experienced this before! How do you know that's a memory and not just... anxiety?"He stared at me like I was a clueless child."A frozen forest, a betrayal and being split in two are pretty obvious hints. I could pretend it was just your anxiety but the split in two parts and the frozen forest aren't mentioned in the books Pandora lent you. It's just something in the original stories from many centuries ago."Oh, no. I think I'm gonna throw up.I breathed in deeply, trying to control my heartbeat, and covered my face with my hands. It was too much for me to swallow."Viktor," I asked in a shaking tone, "where did you hear about the split-in-two thing?"Viktor cleared his throat. "I... Arlo was obsessed with this story. He had the original edition and read it in old English.
Alpha Silent Protector Chapter 14
That night, something happened to me.When I slept, my dreams took me to the frozen forests. I sat in the snow, and my hands had a different skin color, a paleness just like the rest of me. White, and crystal clear and glass. My nails had long claws and thorns. And on top of my head, I could feel a hard and cold crown that I somehow knew contained real ice. I could feel it without touching it.There was blood in the snow. A crimson red staining the remnants of a winter storm, and right in front of my eyes was the corpse of someone I'd once known, unrecognizable, their whole face torn apart. Limbs disconnected, throat ripped.Bile gathered in my stomach and rose up to my mouth. I knew that person, I saw the hideous remains of flesh and I was sure that I knew who had once lived in them; even though I couldn't even understand where his face was, even though I had no memory of who he was.He was someone important, and I couldn't remember a thing, except this emptiness and despair inside m
Alpha Silent Protector Chapter 13
That night, a huge fire was spreading warmth, its little flames dancing a slow rhythm.I found very quickly that the Frostbites were a very close-knit community, and, almost every week, after a group of expeditions made their rounds in the forest that surrounded the territory, they would gather around a campfire to make offerings.These offerings were usually to Athelia, and that night everything was a little surreal. Many werewolves came to bring fruit and spices, but they offered them directly to me. Facing down and with hopeful gestures, they brought me baskets of gifts and repeated the words that Pandora had said to me during our training session: my blood is on your behalf.They were doing it with sincerity, each with a strange curiosity. Hope.Part of me felt wrong."Why do they keep giving me things?" I told Pandora. I wanted to go back to my hotel room, because I was starting to feel cornered. I couldn't bear the feeling of everyone throwing glances my way."If you're not Athe

LENAMaybe I enjoyed learning how to fight more than I thought I would.Each practice session was becoming an important piece in the puzzle that was beginning to form in my mind. Like a bigger picture of myself. It was less painful now."Again," Pandora said.We both circled each other, but this time, neither of us were attacking. Pandora got into a fighting stance, ready to stop whatever I threw her way."Survival should be your main concern," she explained, watching me as if I were one of her pupils and, at the same time, someone she could one day face in battle. There was always some ferocity in her expression. She wasn't as bad as I originally imagined, her tone being softer than it looked. "Do you feel something when we're fighting?""Like what?" "If the goddess resides inside of you, something should wake up when you train. Right? When you're reminded of it, I mean.""I..." I frowned, frustrated, "I don't really know."She lunged forward without warning.I was indeed enjoying o

VIKTORI was fine.Each breath burned like fucking lava. Unrelenting, like claws scratching at the walls of my lungs. The wound kept reminding me of its existence, throbbing with fire while my body screamed at me to go back to the fucking infirmary. But I never listened to their annoying pleas, to their shrieks and orders, even the ones in my own mind that were starting to sound like Pandora's voice in my brain.The wounds would heal, anyway."You're lucky," Falcon had told me earlier. He was our best healer, even with his latent disinterest and dead eyes, always tired, full of dark circles. "If any of those arrows had hit your spine, I wouldn't have had much to do."And he knew very well that I would rather die than no longer be able to protect the pack. If I was incapacitated for long, some rival might appear. Someone daring enough to take advantage of the fact that I couldn't get out of bed.A snowball crashed into my back, forcing my thoughts back into reality. That fucking sharp
Alpha Silent Protector Chapter 10
A large blue leather book was dropped in front of me, and I suddenly woke up from my distracted state. I looked up and met Pandora's eager gaze. With a nod, she invited me to open it.My hands were full. Half a dozen other books lay scattered on my right, some of them smelling old and clearly ready to crumble if I tried to close them with too much force. I put the large one beside the pile."What's that?" I asked, arching my neck up to look at her, squinting my eyes from the bright sunlight reflecting on the library's wooden desk. Everything smelled old, of faded ink and preserved paper."A history book about Athelia," she said eagerly. Almost too eagerly, a little nervous, it seemed.It was easier for me to picture an insecure girl rather than the fearless ruler I had seen. The woman who threatened to kill me for whatever had happened to Viktor, although his condition seemed to be better, drowned behind that new mood.She was burying me in books, giving me scrolls, even parchments an
Alpha Silent Protector Chapter 9
Viktor put himself in front of me to take those arrows even before this whole story involved Athelia. That disturbed me.The explanation that he believed there was a goddess inside me seemed like a much better alternative because otherwise, it would become something... personal. More concrete. He saved me for me, or for some moral reason of his own—for himself—and I owed him.Being a goddess would be great. Gods don't owe others, do they? I could consider it an honor for him to save me.But Pandora was right. Without that, I was of enemy blood, just another person they would mostly want to end at the nearest opportunity. I had no right to be responsible for Viktor like this. I was already struggling to save myself."How am I supposed to..." My voice failed as I looked at my own hands, unable to form the words."Can you show me what you did in the forest?"I raised an eyebrow at her. Pandora had calmed down a bit, her anger fading in favor of an emotion she could use and that was easie
