_Alaric's POV_

As I stepped into the royal council chamber, the sunlight streaming through the tall windows cast a warm glow over the room. The chamber was grand, with high ceilings adorned with intricate carvings and tapestries depicting our kingdom's rich history. The large, circular table at the center was surrounded by seats reserved for the king's closest advisors. At the head of the table sat my father, King Edgar, a figure of reverence and authority. Beside him, my mother, Queen Eleanor, radiated grace and wisdom, her gentle smile ever-present.

"Father, Mother," I began, "I have completed the inspection of the various wolf packs as you requested."

My father leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with interest and approval. "Tell us what you found, Alaric."

I detailed my findings, describing the strengths and weaknesses of each pack, their needs, and my suggestions for improving their governance. As I spoke, I noticed my mother's gentle smile widen, a look of pride in her eyes.

    _Alaric's POV_I moved swiftly, my training and instincts kicking in. One by one, I took them down, each blow precise and powerful. The thugs tried to transform, their bodies shifting and contorting, but I was faster. I used my Alpha tone, my voice echoing with authority and power, “Enough!”They froze, their eyes wide with fear as they felt the full weight of my command. The remaining thugs stumbled back, disheveled and terrified, before turning to flee. As they retreated, I sent a mindlink to Lucas, our Captain of the Guard, calling for reinforcements. "Lucas, bring warriors to handle this situation. We have a problem here.""On it, Prince Alaric. We’ll be there shortly," came his prompt response.I turned my attention back to Alina, who was now breathing heavily, her eyes still wide with fear. I stepped closer, my voice gentle. "Are you alright, Alina?"She nodded, tears glistening in her eyes. "Yes, thanks to you. How did you find me?""We’re mates," I explained softly. "I can alw

    _Alaric's POV_As we approached my car, I couldn't help but notice the awe in Alina's and Juliet's eyes. It was a sight to behold—a marvel of modern engineering that few ordinary people had the opportunity to encounter. They circled the shiny vehicle several times, examining each detail with curiosity. The design of the car was starkly different from the carriages they were familiar with; it was more enclosed and modern, giving off a futuristic feel that seemed to captivate them entirely."Isn’t it beautiful?" I asked, unable to hide my pride in the automobile. "It’s a symbol of progress and innovation."Alina’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she ran her fingers lightly over the car’s smooth exterior. “It’s incredible, Alaric. I’ve never seen anything like it.”Juliet nodded in agreement. “It’s so different from the carriages we know. It feels like something out of a dream.”“Would you like to take a closer look inside?” I offered while opening the car door.They both nodded eagerly

    _Alina's POV_As Juliet and I stepped out of the car and into the store, we were immediately struck by the lavish interior. The sheer beauty and elegance of the place were almost overwhelming. Despite the grandeur around us, the shopkeeper barely glanced in our direction. It was clear that our attire wasn’t rich enough to catch his interest or merit his attention.Ignoring the shopkeeper’s indifference, we decided to explore the store on our own. Each dress seemed more stunning than the last, and the fabrics were unlike anything we’d ever seen before. I couldn’t help but be drawn to a particularly gorgeous gown. Its intricate embroidery and luxurious material were captivating.“Look at this one, Juliet,” I said, touching the fabric gently. “Isn’t it beautiful?”Juliet nodded, her eyes wide with admiration. “It’s incredible, Alina. But I wonder how much it costs.”Determined to find out, I approached the shopkeeper. He looked at me with clear disdain, barely masking his annoyance at be

    _Alina's POV_Alaric's presence was so commanding that it instantly transformed the atmosphere inside the silk shop. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, pinning the shopkeeper in place and making him visibly nervous. The shopkeeper, clearly startled by the prince's arrival, hurriedly asked Alaric what he needed. Upon seeing Alaric, Elena's expression swiftly changed, surprising me with her quick reaction. She immediately prepared to approach Alaric to greet him.Alaric, however, paid no attention to the shopkeeper or Elena. Instead, he walked over to Juliet and me, presenting us with flowers— a bouquet of red roses for me and white lilies for Juliet. I felt a rush of warmth and gratitude as he handed me the roses, the gesture both kind and deeply personal."Thank you, Alaric," I said softly, my voice filled with appreciation.Juliet echoed my sentiment, "These are beautiful. Thank you."Alaric then turned his attention to the shopkeeper, his expression hardening. "Is this how you usu

    _Alina's POV_Taking a deep breath, I steadied myself and looked down at the shopkeeper. "Your conduct today represented not just an injustice towards me, but an injustice towards everyone. As a manager of a royal enterprise, your behavior reflects on the entire royal family. If we let this go unpunished, more victims will suffer. I'm sorry, but this is necessary."Juliet nodded and said, "Alina is right. We can't allow such behavior to go unpunished."The shopkeeper released his grip, his shoulders slumping in defeat. Alaric nodded approvingly at me, his eyes filled with pride. "You handled that well, Alina."Juliet and I carefully selected dresses within the shop. I wanted to find something perfect for the banquet. After browsing for a while, I chose a simple yet elegant long gown, its color reminiscent of the deep blue of the night sky. Tiny pearls adorned the hem making the dress look elegant. Juliet picked a vibrant green dress that complemented her lively and spirited nature.We

    _Alina's POV_Before the conversation could continue, the king turned to Alaric. "Have you marked each other yet?"Alaric shook his head. "No, Father. Alina has not yet transformed into her wolf."King Edgar's expression shifted subtly and he seemed to be displeased but, he remained composed out of respect for his son. Queen Eleanora, on the other hand, gave me a warm smile, seemingly impressed by my composed and graceful demeanor.Sensing the king's disapproval, I glanced around nervously and unexpectedly locked eyes with a young girl peeking from a concealed spot. Her eyes were wide with curiosity and excitement. She quickly ducked back but not before I caught her smile.The queen noticed my glance and followed my gaze. "Katie, come out from there," she called gently.Princess Katie, Alaric's younger sister, emerged from her hiding spot, a grin on her face. She had a lively and spirited aura that immediately put me at ease. "Hello, Alina," she said brightly. "I'm Katie. It's so good

    _Alina's POV_The training grounds were filled with male werewolves in the midst of their training, their muscled torsos glistening with sweat under the sunlight. Juliet and I blushed at the sight, feeling both shy and embarrassed. Katie's teasing only intensified my flushed state."Don't be shy," Katie said with a grin. "They're just doing their thing."The werewolves, noticing Katie and us, were about to stop their training to greet us, but Juliet waved them off, allowing them to continue. "Don't mind us," she called out. "Keep up the good work!"They obeyed, resuming their swordplay, weightlifting, and combat training, their movements filled with strength and beauty. Katie took us around the edge of the training area, explaining the purpose and techniques of the training while sharing interesting stories about werewolf warriors."You see that group over there?" Katie pointed. "They're working on their endurance. Alaric used to train with them every morning."I nodded, fascinated. "

    _Alina's POV_Juliet was practically glowing with excitement after our encounter with Caspian. I could see the attraction in her eyes, and it made her heart race with every glance he sent her way. I was happy for her, but I couldn't help feeling a bit wary."Juliet," I said gently as we walked, "I'm glad you're excited, but remember to take things slowly. You and Caspian need time to really understand each other."Juliet nodded and I could see the excitement in her eyes. "I know, Alina. It's just... I feel such a strong connection with him."Before I could respond, Caspian approached us again, his smile as charming as ever. "I was wondering if you ladies would like to join me for afternoon tea," he suggested kindly.I hesitated, unsure if it was a good idea. But seeing the hopeful look on Juliet's face, I agreed. "Alright, we'll join you."Caspian led us to a beautifully set table in a sunlit courtyard. The setting was perfect, with the fragrance of blooming flowers and the sound of a

    A few days had passed since the burning in the square and the capital had begun to return to a semblance of normalcy. The people felt safer and their faith in Alina and Alaric was stronger than ever. To mark the victory and bring hope back to the kingdom, Alina and Alaric decided to hold a celebration.The square, where the execution had taken place, was transformed. Banners fluttered in the breeze, and tables were set up, filled with food and drink. Music filled the air and the people danced and laughed. Their fear was replaced by joy.Alina stood on a balcony overlooking the square, watching the festivities. She smiled, seeing her people happy and at peace. Alaric came to stand beside her, his arm brushing against hers."They needed this," he said softly, his eyes on the crowd below."They did," Alina agreed. "And so did we."Alaric turned to her, his gaze searching her face. "You seem different," he said, his voice gentle. "Is something on your mind?"Alina hesitated. She had been

    Alina stood over the witch and watched the last of the dark magic fade from the room. This battle was over but she needed to make sure there would be no more from Tanya or the witch.Alaric came to her side. "What do you want to do with her?" he asked."We need to send a message," Alina said firmly. "To everyone. They need to see what happens to those who use dark magic against us."Alaric nodded. "We’ll take them to the capital. We’ll burn them in the square for all to see."Caleb, who had been leaning against a wall, slowly walked over. His face was pale, and he looked exhausted, but there was a fire in his eyes. "I’ll help," he said.Alina looked at him. She was grateful for his support. "Thank you, Caleb," she said. She turned back to Alaric. "Let’s get them ready. We need to do this quickly."The warriors moved quickly. They tied the witch’s lifeless body and carried her out of the ruins. Tanya, still bound and furious, was dragged along. Her eyes were filled with hatred and fear

    Caleb looked up at Alina. He felt relieved. He hadn't expected her to find him but now that she was here, he knew that they had a chance."Alina..." Caleb started to say, but she shook her head, her focus entirely on Tanya."You can't win, Tanya," Alina said, taking a step forward. "Surrender now, and maybe we'll show you mercy."Tanya snarled. "You think you can just walk in here and take me down? You're nothing, Alina! Nothing!"Alina didn't flinch. She raised her hand, and the palace guards moved forward, their weapons ready. "This is your last chance, Tanya," Alina said. "Give up, or we'll make you."For a moment, it looked like Tanya might fight back, but then she glanced around, realizing that she was outnumbered. With a frustrated scream, she lashed out with one final burst of dark magic, but Alina was ready. She raised her hands, and a barrier of shimmering light formed in front of her, deflecting the attack.The palace guards rushed forward, surrounding Tanya before she could

    Caleb walked through the dimly lit streets. The night was heavy with an eerie silence, broken only by the occasional rustling of leaves in the wind. He knew that Tanya was somewhere nearby, hiding in the shadows, but finding her was no easy task. Dark magic hung in the air like a thick fog making it hard to track her scent.His mind raced as he thought about what had happened in the square. Alina had been strong, stronger than he’d ever seen her before. She had saved the werewolves from the dark magic and proved herself as a true leader. But now, they were facing a threat even more dangerous than the chaos in the square. Tanya was still out there and her power was growing. Caleb had to find her before she caused more harm.Suddenly, he heard a soft sound, like a whisper on the wind. He paused and listened. There it was—a low, almost inaudible chant. It was Tanya. She was close.Caleb followed the sound, his steps quickening as he made his way through the narrow alleys. The chanting gr

    _Alina's POV_As the door closed behind us, the weight of everything that had happened finally began to lift. For a moment, I allowed myself to breathe, to let go of the tension that had been building up inside me. Alaric was still holding my hand and I could feel the warmth of his presence enveloping me like a comforting blanket.He turned to me. “Alina,” he said quietly. “I missed you so much.”“I missed you too,” I whispered. The truth of it hit me hard. We hadn’t had a moment like this in so long—just the two of us.Alaric stepped closer, closing the small distance between us. His hand came up to cup my cheek, his thumb brushing lightly over my skin. “I was so worried about you,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. “Every moment you were gone, I was terrified that something would happen, that I wouldn’t be there to protect you.”I leaned into his touch and closed my eyes as I savored the feel of his hand against my skin. “I know,” I whispered. “But I’m here now. We’re together

The streets were empty but the air was filled with darkness.We made our way to the heart of the city where I knew Alaric would be waiting. As we approached, I could feel his presence growing stronger in my mind. He was nearby and I needed to reach him before the situation spiraled out of control.“Alina!” Alaric’s voice echoed in my mind. “I’m at the main square. Hurry!”“We’re on our way,” I replied while quickening my pace.When we arrived at the square, the scene was worse than I had imagined. Werewolves were on the brink of tearing each other apart, their eyes wild with fear and rage. The dark magic was strong here. Alaric stood in the center and he was trying to keep order, but even he was struggling against the overwhelming force of Tanya’s influence.“Alaric!” I called out as I reached him.He turned to me.

    _Alina's POV_As Caleb and I moved swiftly along the dark road, my mind was focused on what lay ahead. The capital was in danger, and every second counted. The night was quiet, the only sounds were our footsteps and the occasional rustling of leaves in the wind. But I knew that this calm was deceptive. Something dark and terrible was waiting for us.We traveled in silence for a while, each of us lost in our own thoughts. But then, I felt a familiar presence in my mind. It was Alaric, reaching out to me through our mind link. His voice echoed in my heart, urgent and filled with worry.“Alina,” he called out. “I’ve found evidence of Tanya’s involvement. She’s here, in the capital, but the people… they’re blinded by fear and rumors. They refuse to believe that she’s the one behind this. Her influence is spreading and it’s causing chaos. Some of the werewolves have started to riot. The city is on the brink of losing control.”His words hit me like a punch to the gut. I could hear the desp

The plague had returned and there was no doubt in my heart that this was the work of the witch. Tanya wasn’t dead, as I had once believed. She was still out there, and her influence was spreading like poison. The thought of her dark magic wreaking havoc sent a chill down my spine and I knew I couldn’t afford to waste any time.I turned to the rogues who had gathered around me. Their eyes were filled with concern and a newfound admiration. They had just been freed from the clutches of dark magic and they were still recovering from the ordeal. I could see the exhaustion in their faces, the lingering fear that had yet to fully fade. But I didn’t have the luxury of time to explain everything to them. They needed to rest and regain their strength. They had fought their own battles and now I had to fight mine.“Stay here,” I to

The rogues, twisted by dark magic, were attacking each other in a frenzy. Snarls and growls filled the night as they bit and clawed at one another, their eyes wild with the madness that had taken hold of them.For a moment, I stood frozen, watching the carnage. These wolves, once proud and strong, were now reduced to mindless beasts, slaves to the dark magic that had consumed them. But then, I remembered the mission that had been entrusted to me by the moon wolf. I had the power to purify them, to free them from the darkness that held them captive.But I knew what I had to do. Closing my eyes, I reached deep within myself, calling upon the power that I had gained in the ruins. I felt it surge through my body. My mind and body merged with my wolf and I could feel her strength and courage flowing through me.When I open
