As Alina scanned the crowd, she spotted Caspian and Lady Amora sitting together, their eyes fixed on her. A cold shiver ran down her spine. She knew that they were plotting something, and she would have to stay vigilant.

The tournament began with an unexpected announcement from Lady Amora, who, in her capacity as a judge, addressed the gathered crowd. Her voice carried a tone of authority and a hint of malice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed participants, we have a slight change in this year's rules," she began, her eyes briefly meeting Alina's. "To truly test the full extent of our participants' abilities, this year's competition will allow for full transformation. This means participants may use their lycanthropic abilities freely. May the best fighter win."

A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd. Previous tournaments had been purely about swordsmanship, and this sudden change put many at a disadvantage, particularly those who had not trained for such a scenario. Alina felt

    _Alina's POV_I braced myself for the pain, my mind racing with a thousand thoughts. This was it. This was how it would end. Elena was going to kill me and she would win.But then, in the last possible second, there was a blur of movement before me. I didn’t feel the expected pain. Instead, I saw Alaric, his body intercepting the blow meant for me. Elena’s sword plunged into his side, the blade sinking deep.A gasp escaped my lips as Alaric fell to the ground and blood started rapidly pooling around him. His face contorted in pain, but his eyes met mine, filled with a fierce determination and a silent plea for me to stay strong."Alaric!" I cried out, my voice breaking with panic and sorrow. I dropped to my knees beside him, my hands trembling as I pressed them against his wound, trying to stem the flow of blood.Elena's face twisted with fear and anger as her plan failed. She took a step back, her eyes darting around for an escape. I started screaming, "Help! Someone get the wolf doc

    _Alina's POV_In the hospital room, I took care of Alaric. I felt both guilt and deep sorrow. The sight of him lying there, pale and injured, was almost too much to bear. I blamed myself for everything that had happened.As I sat beside him, Athena’s voice resonated in my mind, her tone almost teasing. "Alaric’s act of protecting you was very manly. Perhaps you should mark him soon."I sighed, glancing at Alaric’s bandaged side. "He’s injured, Athena. We should wait until he recovers."Katie, who had been quietly watching from the corner of the room, stepped forward. She had a gentle expression on her face. "Alina, my brother is usually strong enough to kill a bull. This is a minor issue for him."I managed a small smile at her words. I felt a bit more at ease. Katie’s confidence in Alaric’s strength was reassuring. I really hoped that he would recover soon.Shortly after, King Edgar and Queen Eleanor visited the room. Their presence was both comforting and commanding. The king’s expr

    _Alina's POV_Within moments, the wolf doctor hurried in, followed by a couple of nurses. They assessed the situation quickly, their expressions grave. "We need to stop the bleeding immediately," the doctor said, his voice calm but urgent. He looked at me. "Alina, please step back. We need space to work."Reluctantly, I let go of Alaric’s hand and moved to the side. My eyes never left his face. The medical team worked swiftly. I felt a helplessness settle over me, a feeling I despised. All I could do was watch as they worked to save him once again.Alaric’s eyes met mine, and he gave me a weak smile. He was trying to reassure me. "I’ll be okay, Alina. Don’t worry."Tears blurred my vision as I nodded, biting my lip to keep from crying out. I wished I could do more, be more useful in this situation. The minutes stretched on, each one feeling like an eternity. The doctor’s hands were steady as he applied pressure and stitched the wound once more, but I could see the strain in his eyes.

    Under the cover of night, Tanya moved quietly through the shadowed corridors of the palace. She knew the layout well. She had memorized every twist and turn since she had infiltrated the palace as Caspian’s servant days ago. Her heart pounded with anticipation as she approached the hidden meeting spot where Caspian awaited her.Caspian stood in the dimly lit room, a flickering candle casting eerie shadows across his face. His expression was one of malice. Tanya approached him slowly, her steps barely making a sound. From within her cloak, she produced a small, sealed vial. The liquid inside was colorless and odorless, but it held deadly power.Caspian’s eyes lit up as he took the vial from her. His fingers trembled with excitement as he examined the vial closely. “Is this it?” he asked, his voice barely a whisper.Tanya nodded, her lips curling into a sly smile. "Yes, the virus will rapidly reproduce in the human body. Initially, it will show symptoms similar to a common cold. But soo

    As Alina cared for Alaric, the room grew quieter and more peaceful. She held his hand, her fingers gently entwined with his. Her other hand traced the back of his palm. The earlier tension began to fade away the atmosphere became calm. Alaric was gradually getting better.Outside, Lady Amora had a task of her own. Following Caspian's orders, she had a special ointment ready. This ointment, made from wild plants, could cause cold-like symptoms when absorbed through the skin. It had a faint scent, almost unnoticeable, but it was potent.Lady Amora moved quietly and carefully. She approached the room where Alina had left her coat on a chair. She glanced around to make sure that no one was watching and she took out a small vial from her gown. She opened it and applied the ointment to the coat, spreading it evenly. Satisfied, she left the room, knowing that she had done her part in Caspian’s plan.Back in Alaric’s room, the mood was warm and close. Alaric rested with his eyes closed, still

    _Alina's POV_As the night deepened, I felt increasingly uneasy. The tickle in my throat had turned into a persistent cough, and a chill had settled in my bones. I knew that I had to confront Elena. She was involved in Caspian's and Lady Amora's plot, and I needed answers. I left my room, determined to find her and get the truth.As I walked through the corridors, the palace felt eerily quiet. My footsteps echoed softly against the cold stone floors. I wrapped my coat tighter around me.When I reached the palace grounds, I saw Elena’s silhouette in the distance. She was walking slowly, her figure outlined by the dim light of the moon. She looked lonely and desolate, but I felt no sympathy. My heart was full of anger and worry for Alaric. Elena had betrayed us, and she had to answer for it.I followed her quietly, staying hidden in the shadows. She seemed unaware of my presence as she walked further along the path, eventually reaching a secluded forest clearing. She stopped there, perh

    Meanwhile, a dark plan was unfolding in the palace grounds. Caspian knew the palace's water system well. Tonight, he planned to use that knowledge. He had his guards watching the area, and Tanya was ready to carry out their next move.The moon cast a dim light over the palace. Tanya, in a dark hooded robe, moved quietly through the shadows toward the water tower. She had practiced this many times. The guards nodded as she passed. Their faces were serious.At the water tower, Tanya checked first to make sure that no one was around. She climbed the ladder silently. At the top, she paused to listen. The night was calm, with only the rustling of leaves.She took a deep breath and opened the lid of the water tower. Inside, the water was clear and still, reflecting the moonlight. From her cloak, she took out a small vial of a colorless liquid. Her heart pounded as she held it over the water.“Do it,” she whispered to herself, finding her resolve.She poured the liquid into the water. It mix

    I was in my study, going over some documents, when Thorian entered the room. His face was serious, and I could see he had something important to say.“Prince Alaric,” he started, his voice low and urgent. “We need to talk about Caspian.”I put down my papers and looked at him. Thorian usually didn't interrupt unless it was critical. “What’s wrong, Thorian? What have you found out?”Thorian stepped closer to my desk. “I’ve noticed Caspian behaving strangely. He’s been wandering alone in the secluded palace garden, almost like he’s searching for something or waiting for someone.”A cold feeling settled in my stomach. Caspian had always been secretive, but this sounded more suspicious. “Tell me more,” I urged him.Thorian’s eyes were intense. “He’s also been meeting with Lady Amora a lot. Their meetings seem very secretive, like they’re plotting something together. And there’s more… Alina’s condition has gotten worse since these meetings started. She caught a cold right after one of thei

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.

"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.

    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

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.

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

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

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.
