DestinyAlpha Aldric's amber eyes locked in mine. "Did you know about this?" He said in a low and menacing voice.I swallowed hard, unable to speak. I knew I couldn't lie to him, so I just shook my head to answer his question.Aria and Nathan stepped forward, their chains still rattling in their hands. "We know you killed Emily," they said in unison, their voices strong and unyielding.Alpha Aldric's expression hardened. "And how exactly did you come to this conclusion?" he hissed."I found your precious family crest near her body. How else would it get there, Alpha?" Nathan snarled.Alpha Aldric's eyes narrowed as he contemplated the accusation. After a moment of silence, he said, "Fine then. If you insist on believing that I killed Emily, then let us settle this with a fight."He released a powerful roar that echoed throughout the garden and lunged towards Aria and Nathan with blazing speed. They both jumped back in surprise and readied their chains to defend themselves against the
DestinyThe cold iron shackles clinked as they were fastened around Alpha Aldric's wrists and legs. Nathan didn't want to risk it and made sure to tighten them before letting the guards lead him to the dungeon.I watched, my heart aching with each metallic sound, as the guards led away the man I had grown to care for. The cold dungeon waited for him."My Alpha," I whispered, my voice choked with emotion. But this was better than death. I didn't know what I would've done if Nathan didn't listened to me and killed him right in front of me.Aldric turned his head toward me, and for a moment, our eyes met. His gaze held a strange mix of anger and vulnerability that made my chest feel tighter. He opened his mouth to speak, but the guard yanked the chain connecting the shackles, causing Aldric to stumble forward and cut off any words he might have uttered."Move!" the guard barked at Aldric as they continued their march towards the dungeon.My legs felt weak as I stood there, watching helpl
DestinyI could see the entrance of the dungeon looming ahead of me. But my heart sank the closer I got as I realized that there were two guards standing firmly in front of the entrance.'I can't go past the guards,' I whispered to Rosie as I eyed the entrance of the dungeon from a distance. My stomach twisted into knots at the thought.'Find a way,' she said, her voice gentle yet firm. 'Just think about your mate down there, cold and alone.'I shuddered. And completely pissed off, I thought to myself.I had no idea how I was going to get past the guards without being noticed, but I had to try. Taking a deep breath, I slowly stepped forward, my mind racing with ideas.'You are the Luna of this pack. What are you doing? Just march over there and demand to see him!' Rosie scolded me. The idea of simply marching up to the guards filled me with a sense of dread, but I knew I had no other choice. I took another few steps closer and then stopped as one of the guards spotted me and shouted
Aldric'They really think they could keep me confined here, don't they?' I chuckled lightly as I watched Destiny leave.'Well, you are kind of helpless right now,' my wolf chirped.'Helpless! Don't make me laugh. I am merely waiting. Those fools didn't know what they were doing and didn't get their timing right. If they were smart, they would've done this much earlier,' I said.My wolf laughed along with me as they knew exactly what I meant.The next day, Nathan came inside the dungeon to visit me."Ah, Beta Nathan," I jeered, "so faithful and loyal. What brings you here? Do you come to gloat about your victory?"Nathan didn't smile. "Today is your trial, Alpha Aldric. So I wouldn't be so cheerful."I raised an eyebrow. "A trial for what? It seemed that you had already found me guilty. So this trial is just for show, isn't it? I didn't think you were the type who likes theatrics.""I only agreed to it because of Destiny. She is Aria's sister and the Luna of this pack as of now. So, I
NathanAnger and frustration boil up inside me as I realize that the Blue moon is rising tonight, and I'm too late. How could I have been so stupid to be consumed by my need for revenge and lose track of time?I watched with horror as Alpha Aldric began to transform into a monstrous beast. His body stretched and bulged grotesquely, the snarls emanating from his throat deep and harrowing until he stood before me in the shape of a werewolf, unlike anything I had ever laid eyes on.The rumors were true, and he was no ordinary wolf shifter like we were. I turned to Baron, who was staring at him too with his eyes wide."I fucking knew not to underestimate Alpha Aldric. And yet, I listened to Destiny and let him leave. I should've killed him," I barked in frustration."What...what is he?" Baron said in a hoarse voice.I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I fought to contain the rage within me. "It seems like he is a Blue Moon Lycan, Baron. A cursed breed, born only under t
DestinyMy heart raced, pounding in my chest like a relentless drum. The air felt thick, almost suffocating, as I struggled to catch my breath.I've been kidnapped by my own mate.But that wasn't the main problem here. The bigger problem was that my mate was no longer a regular werewolf. He was now the epitome of monstrosity.His eyes glinted with a red-hot fury that I had never seen in them before. Not even when he was cruel to me in the past. His fur was matted with the blood of his victims. It was as if he was possessed by some dark force, a force that had consumed his soul and transformed him into a beast beyond recognition. His once-muscular physique was now grotesquely distorted, his veins bulging and pulsating under his skin.What the hell happened to him?My mate growled deeply, baring his razor-sharp teeth as he carried me through the woods. He hadn't hurt me yet, but I knew he was capable of doing that.I could feel the rough bark of trees against my back as he carried me, e
AldricI jolted awake with a sudden, shuddering gasp. My muscles twitched painfully as I tried to move my arms, my entire body trembling from the intensity of the previous night's transformation. My skin felt slick and clammy with sweat.Ah, the Blue Moon transformation...the timing of it couldn't have been more perfect!Those fools thought they could defeat the Alpha King because they had no idea what I could become under that special moonlight. Only Selene had seen me transform into a Lycan beast in the past, but she had kept me chained underground so no one else knew about my power.The handful of people who witnessed it were dismissed for spreading rumors.Morons.I tried to sit up but felt something pressed against me. There was someone sleeping on top of me. Looking down, I saw that it was Destiny's figure, her hair cascading down her back like a waterfall of soft black silk.The little traitor! What was she doing here, resting her head on my chest like I was her teddy bear?My
Aria"Th-that monster. What was that?" I collapsed on the ground.Nathan put his arms around me and scooped me up. "The Blue Moon. I didn't realize it would have that kind of effect on Alpha Aldric. I've never seen anything like this," he replied."He took Destiny. He will kill her," I sobbed. I did everything to protect my sister, but in the end, it didn't matter because now she was gone."Nathan's grip tightened as he carried me away from the chaotic scene. The air was thick with tension, and my mind raced with fear for Destiny's safety."We need to regroup and come up with a plan," Nathan said, determination in his voice. He gently set me down, and we found a secluded spot away from the wreckage caused by Alpha Aldric's unexpected power surge.I wiped away my tears, trying to regain composure. "What do we do now? How do we stop him?"Nathan paced back and forth, his brow furrowed in thought. "The Blue Moon's energy has a unique effect on him, but in the morning, it should wear off.
