The forest loomed before her, dark and inviting. She had never been one to enjoy the darkness and actually loathed it but here she was basking in the thrill of it Each rustle of leaves and distant call of wildlife only heightened her senses. She felt alive, more so than she had in a long time, as if the very essence of the wild was awakening something within her.It was like her powers all suddenly returned tk her and stronger than she remembered them to be.She could see better, hear better, and actually use her powers without any move of her fingers. Her mind was doing the job for her. As she ventured deeper into the woods, the moon hung high, illuminating her path. The trees stood tall and silent, guardians of the secrets that lay within. Marissa's heartbeat quickened; she could feel the pulsing energy of the forest around her. It was intoxicating. The craving surged within her, and she could almost taste the adrenaline of the hunt.Marissa moved with a stealth that surprised e
Her legs immediately got ready to take off once she heard the snap of a branch, knowing very well that it was no one but her mate whom she had been trying to avoid. Every of her attempt to hide from him these past days have been futile as he was not having it. He knew that she was hiding from him and even though he knew exactly why she was hiding, his heart still hurt at the fact that she was trying to stay away. Right now, she was hiding in the woods and hadn’t even been here for 5 mi yes when she felt her mate’s presence but he didn’t come closer so she did not feel the need to flee but but now he was. As she turned to leave, the sound of footsteps, closer than she anticipated, broke the silence. It was Dario, of course. He had been watching her, she realized as she saw him come from directly opposite where she was, and the thought made her heart race for an entirely different reason.Dario was strong and commanding, his presence both comforting and intimidating, but in her cu
Squinting his eyes as the sun cast its glow through their bedroom window. Dario yawned as he woke up. He had chosen to sleep in today just so that he could cuddle his mate for longer. They both needed it. Slightly bending his head to look at her as she lay soundly asleep on his chest, his breath caught in his throat as he watched her. The air crackled with energy, and he felt the pull of her essence, drawing him closer. She was waking but transforming at the same time and he found it alluring.She yawned and closed her eyes, stretching mildly and allowing the magic to wash over her, but when she opened them again, those fiery red orbs locked onto his. Dario could feel the intensity of her gaze, and it sent shivers down his spine."Marissa," he breathed, his voice barely above a whisper. The words tumbled out before he could stop them. "You look incredible." He said again, only sounding more breathless. She smiled, a playful grin that revealed her sharp teeth, and Dario's heart r
"Please." Dario pleaded but it came out as a moan.He himself would never understand how he could be so hungry and so desperate for someone knowing that he stayed on his own for several decades and was fine.His whole body was on fire and the only thing that could quench this hunger was Marissa."Please what? What do you want". She teased, knowing fully well what he meant by that please. She was both shy and bold in this ,oment.It was not the first time but, she could never get used to this man pining over her so much."I want to make love to you. I want to be inside you and never come out". He moaned as he spoke but this time it was guttural, making her realize that it was no longer just him present but Dexter was there too.His moans and laboured breathing, mirrored hers, and he started to take slow steps towards her."You want me, don't you?" He asks, now cornering her by the wardrobe where she had stood up to breathe.had stood up to breathe.In this moment, be closed his eyes br
As soon as they woke up, Dario was hungry for mire and Marissa had no objections despite the discomfort she felt down there. His hands immediately traveled down to where she wanted to be touched the most, but as soon as a moan left her lips, she and Dario immediately stood up in alarm. “Someone had breached the borders”. They both said in unison and stated to get dressed as fast as they can. “Alpha, our borders have been b-.” Trent started but Dario cut him off. “We know”. He said as Trent joined their fast paced walk to the scene. “James, arrange 30 guards and bring them to the woods as soon as possible”. Dario ordered. “We’re already on our way there. The order for thirty was because the borders had three entrances and at least 10 men needed to be stationed at each gateway so as to not miss anything and anyone. Over there.” Trent pointed, his voice barely above a whisper. In the distance, they could see the remnants of a campfire, its embers still glowing faintly. James’ hea
As Dario took a good look at the woman they just rescued. The moonlight filtered through the trees, casting an ethereal glow around her, illuminating the dirt and debris that clung to her clothes. She appeared fragile, her face pale and drawn, but there was an undeniable strength in her eyes, a spark that reminded him of someone he knew all too well.He glanced over at his mate, who was kneeling beside the woman, concern etched across her features. He could feel the tension radiating off his mate.She didn’t know that she would recognize the woman so fast after not seeing her for so long. It was a mix of fear and hope, a desperate need for answers that hung heavily in the air. Dario’s instincts kicked in, and he felt the urge to protect both of them as he was definitely sure that they were related, but something deeper tugged at his heart, an unsettling suspicion that he couldn’t shake.As the woman stirred, Marissa’s breath caught in her throat. Her eyes fluttered open, revealing a
Alpha Dario stood at the edge of the forest, taking in everything and acting as a watchman from where he stood as he did not have to be down to notice, see or smell if anything was wrong. He also needed to focus on the other task he had at hand which was finding out the actual role that her mother played in her being sold, but all he could focus on was Marissa. She was inside the pack house, laughing with the other members, her voice like music to his ears. The warmth of her laughter wrapped around him, pulling him closer, but he hesitated. Dario was the Alpha, a leader respected and feared in equal measure. He had to maintain control, to be the embodiment of strength and discipline. Yet, whenever Marissa was near, that control slipped through his fingers like sand. His heart raced at the thought of her, and the instinctual need to touch her, to feel her warmth against him, was almost overwhelming.As he stepped inside the pack house, the atmosphere shifted. The laughter faded sligh
She had been feeling weak and easily irritated these days but brushed it off as her just resting to her powers. However, one fateful day, an unforeseen illness swept through her, bringing with it a wave of chaos that no one could have anticipated.It began with a whisper of a chill, a slight tickle in her throat that she brushed off as mere fatigue, and as the days passed, the tickle transformed into a full-blown fever, leaving her bedridden and helpless.Dario, greatly worried, suspended work and remained by her side, tending to her needs and offering comfort. Yet, as Marissa lay there, the magic within her began to stir restlessly. Unbeknownst to her, the illness was not just a simple ailment. The first sign of this power surge came when her fever reached its peak.In a moment of delirium, Marissa's emotions flared, and with it, the energy around her crackled. The room was filled with a blinding light as her magic erupted uncontrollably. Dario watched in shock as the furniture be

In the heart of a dark, enchanted forest, where the trees whispered secrets and the moonlight barely pierced through the thick canopy, a coven of witches gathered. Their leader, a formidable sorceress named Seraphina, had been watching the unfolding romance between Alpha Dario and Marissa, the beautiful daughter of the Moonlight Tribe. The impending wedding was the talk of the supernatural world, and while many were excited, the witches had a different plan in mind.Seraphina, with her long, flowing robes and hair as dark as midnight, stood before her sisters. “We shall send them a gift,” she declared, her voice a melodic blend of authority and mischief. “But not just any gift. It must be something that embodies the essence of our power and serves as a reminder of the balance between love and fear.”The witches murmured in agreement, their eyes glinting with a mix of excitement and trepidation. They began to conjure, their hands weaving intricate patterns in the air as they chanted an

The sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over the room, but it was the sight of Marissa that truly illuminated his heart. She was in the other room, finalizing her own preparations, and he could hear her soft laughter mingling with the bustling sounds of their wedding day. He took a moment to admire the suit she had picked out for him. It was tailored perfectly, accentuating his broad shoulders and lean physique. The deep navy blue fabric shimmered subtly, hinting at a sophisticated elegance that was both timeless and modern.

It was a bold choice, one that spoke to their shared taste for the extraordinary.As he ran his fingers over the smooth fabric, memories flooded his mind.

Marissa, the beloved daughter of the village elder, was soon to wed the formidable Alpha Dario, a man known not only for his strength but also for his unwavering loyalty to his people. The wedding was fast approaching, and with it came a flurry of gifts from far and wide, each more extravagant than the last.Marissa had always dreamed of this day, imagining the grandeur of her wedding ceremony and the joy it would bring to her family and friends.

Dario stood at the edge of the forest, the moon casting a silvery glow over the pack’s territory. The air was crisp, and the faint rustle of leaves whispered secrets of the night. He had always been a figure of strength and authority, the alpha who led his pack with unwavering resolve. But since finding the vampire child in the billionaire’s cellar, everything had changed. She had been with the pack for a few months now, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that she was meant to be a part of his life.The first time he had encountered her, Dario had felt a pang of sorrow. Curled up in a dark corner of the cellar, the child was trembling, her small frame barely visible in the shadows. He remembered the way her large, innocent eyes looked up at him, filled with fear and hope. It was a look that stirred something deep within him—a protective instinct he hadn’t felt in years. After rescuing her from the darkness of that cellar, he brought her back to the pack, uncertain of how they would rea
