A young red-haired lady burst into the pack's dining hall, excitement radiating from her pores. "Have you heard the latest news?" she asked, her voice trembling with delight. The group around her looked up from their meals, curiosity piqued. "You mean about Alpha Aleksander and Alina?" Lucas asked, his tone laced with skepticism. "I can't believe he's fallen for someone like her," the red-haired lady said, her voice dripping with disdain. "That low-ranking killer?" She shook her head, her expression a mix of disgust and anger. "What infuriates me most is his deception. He treated her poorly in front of us, but behind closed doors, he was her doting Alpha." A feminine voice chimed in, "Thank God Ellaine exposed the truth." “Speak of the devil, and here she comes.” a voice said. Just then, the door swung open, and Alina walked in, accompanied by Ellaine. The room fell silent, all eyes fixed on Alina. She felt the weight of their gaze, her heart racing. "What's going on?" she
"Alina Starfall, you made a promise to me and you broke it!" Aleksander thundered, his accusing fingers pointing towards her as his eyes blazed with fury."Aleksander, I-I don't know—" she stuttered, her voice trembling. "It's Alpha Aleksander to you!" he bellowed, his chest heaving with rage. Alina's panic escalated, her hands shaking, her knees weakening, and her vision blurring as tears pricked at the corners of her eyes. Her mind raced frantically, trying to recall what she might have done to incur his wrath, but her desperate glances around the room and at Ellaine yielded nothing.With a trembling hand, she reached for the glass of water to quench her dry throat, only for Aleksander to knock it out of her hand, eliciting a collective gasp from everyone."Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Aleksander bellowed, his outrage so intense that he swept his arm across the table, sending plates crashing to the floor, food spilling everywhere, and shards of ceramic flying in all direc
Aleksander's voice was firm but laced with stress as he addressed Ellaine, who stood before him, her head bowed and her body trembling with fear. "Speak, Beta." As he leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temple, he heard faint whimpers and sat up straight. "Are you crying, Beta?" he asked, his brows furrowed in confusion. Ellaine's body crumpled, her knees hitting the floor as she begged, "Please, Alpha, forgive her and punish me instead!" Her voice cracked with emotion, her hands clasped together in a desperate plea. Aleksander stood up, Ellaine clinging to his legs. "Are you here to plead for your friend?" he asked, his tone softening. Through sobs, Ellaine revealed, "Alina is innocent! I started the rumor, Alpha!" Aleksander's eyes widened in disbelief, his heart racing with guilt. "Were you the presence I sensed in the forest that night?" he asked, his voice laced with fear and uncertainty. Ellaine's gaze met his, her sage green eyes filled with tears. "Yes, Alpha. I follo
"Try again!" Aleksander thundered at Meynard, his panic surging. The gravity of the situation hit him like a ton of bricks - if Alina died, the consequences would be catastrophic. Meynard's face contorted in fear as he crouched down beside Alina, repeating the process with shaking hands. "It's still not working!" he yelled, his voice laced with desperation. Alina's face grew paler by the second, her life force ebbing away. Her body convulsed violently, blood gushing from her closed eyes like a gruesome fountain. Ellaine's horror-stricken gasp filled the air. "Oh God, she's bleeding from her eyes! Is she going to die?" she sobbed, tears streaming down her face. Faris's voice cracked with emotion as he pleaded, "Alpha Aleksander, please, you have to do something! We can't lose Alina!" The weight of responsibility crushed Aleksander as he knelt beside Alina, his heart racing. Though he possessed healing abilities, he knew he wasn't the strongest, and if Meynard had failed, wha
Aleksander strode into the room, his piercing gaze fixed on Alina's closed eyes. "Here's Faris. Start talking!" he barked, his loud voice jolting Alina awake. Breathlessly, Alina rose to her feet, wiping her face and taking a step closer to Faris. "Oh, Faris... what have they done to you?" she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes as she took in his disheveled and bruised face. Her arms reached out to touch his face, her fingers trembling with compassion. Aleksander released his grip on Faris' collar and sat on the bed, his eyes watching with disdain as the siblings shared a tender moment. "Oh, don't be so dramatic," he muttered. Alina's voice was laced with concern as she embraced Faris, tears on her cheeks. "Are you okay? You look like you haven't eaten in days." Faris' voice was barely audible, his words muffled by their embrace. "I'm fine, Alina. Grateful to the goddess to even be alive." Aleksander's sigh was heavy with impatience, almost rolling his eyes. "Enough of this
The Moon Bound Pack house stood sentinel among the trees, its weathered wooden walls blending seamlessly with the moonlight. The roof, a tangled mesh of branches and leaves, seemed a natural extension of the forest. Windows like gleaming eyes watched over the woods, their intricately carved shutters telling stories of the pack's history. A winding path, overgrown with wildflowers and herbs, led to the entrance, a massive wooden door adorned with a silver crescent moon that shone like a beacon. Inside, the air was thick with woodsmoke, fur, and a hint of magic, a testament to the pack's deep connection to the land. As Faris approached, a murmur of horror and surprise rippled through the pack, taunting whispers and commentary filling the air. But Faris remained focused, his gaze fixed on a single destination. As Faris arrived, he took a deep breath before knocking on the door. "Come in," a muffled voice replied. He hesitated, then entered. "Alpha Malvar, I've returned." He annou
In the Silvermoon Kingdom, midnight unveils a realm of mystical beauty and wonder. The sky is painted with hues of indigo and silver, as if the moon's gentle light has infused the darkness with a soft, ethereal glow. The stars twinkle like diamonds scattered across the velvet expanse, and the air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming night flowers. A soft, silvery mist rises from the ground, casting an enchanting spell over the land. In this mystical hour, the veil between worlds grows whisper-thin, and the secrets of the unknown are at their loudest. Midnight in the Silvermoon Kingdom is a time of awe, mystery, and ancient lore, whispering secrets to those who dare to listen. But on this fateful night of dark convergence, midnight wore a sinister shroud. The sky turned a deep, bloody indigo, suffocating the land with an eerie, heavy gloom. The silver crescent moon hung low, like a ghostly scythe slashing across the sky, casting an unsettling glow that seemed to drain the land
“Why won't you believe me, Alpha Aleksander?” Alina pleaded, her frustration evident in her voice and stance as she stood before him in his office chamber. “I'm telling the truth, I swear it.” Aleksander sighed, his gaze finally leaving the paper in front of him as he leaned back in his seat, his eyes narrowing slightly. “So, this is what you've been pushing for? This is why you came here?” Alina's hand threaded through her hair, her anxiety heavy. “It's been three days since your father's visit, and I fear we're running out of time. I don't understand why you refuse to work with me.” Aleksander's expression remained skeptical, his voice firm. “I'll only consider it if you provide me with concrete proof, Alina. Anything less is just empty words.” Alina's frustration boiled over as she exclaimed, "How am I supposed to find proof?" Aleksander's response was firm and unyielding, "That's your problem, Alina. Bring me something tangible, and only then will I, Aleksander Stormgaze, bel
