Andhara was still silent.Lynx, who had long been silent due to his weakness, suddenly took over Enne's body. Golden light surrounded the girl's body, and in an instant, her body transformed into a beautiful golden brown wolf. The wolf instantly shot off at high speed, leaving the still shocked Andhara behind.'I know you're weak, Lynx,' Enne thought from inside her body. 'But thank you.'It's our job to survive, Enne,' Lynx replied in a determined tone.The cold wind and freezing snow were no obstacles. Lynx continued to run as fast as he could, crossing trees and jumping over roots hidden under the snow. However, behind him, the sound of heavy steps began to be heard.'He's chasing us,' Lynx said.Enne turned her head and saw Andhara in the form of a large, fearsome-looking black wolf, with fiery red eyes full of determination. She was getting closer, reducing the distance between them.***On the other side, Altair and Stella had arrived at a denser forest, where tall trees stood l
Enne's throat constricted as she stared at a pile of bodies scattered in the snowy expanse of the forest. Her blue eyes unintentionally locked with a pair of golden eyes, copper-colored and not belonging to a human, but to a white wolf with fur as white as snow and a body three times larger than an average wolf. The wolf stood just a few meters in front of Enne."Don't look into its eyes! Let's leave this place!"Enne could clearly hear the disembodied voice. It didn't come from any direction but from within Enne's own mind, a voice that sounded different from her own. However, instead of following the advice, Enne froze in her place. Her legs seemed rooted to the spot, and her eyes remained fixed on the wolf's dominating gaze, which was incredibly terrifying.This fear was different from the fear of encountering a wild animal alone in the middle of the forest. It was the fear of meeting someone who held complete power over something, a feeling of being oppressed and uncomfortable. En
"Did you feel it too?!" The man named Altair Enzo could clearly hear the voice, full of enthusiasm. Instead of answering, Altair sighed heavily."Why? I know you felt it too. That girl... she has what we've been searching for all this time," the voice spoke again."Can you be quiet, Cygnus?" Altair's voice sounded authoritative.Apparently, Cygnus was Altair's inner wolf. Yes, Altair was an alpha werewolf. Behind Altair's captivating pale white skin, sharp jawline, pointed nose, sharp eyes, and perfect physique, he had another form, that of a majestic white wolf with clean fur.Cygnus growled softly, what he wanted was to bring the girl he met earlier in the forest border this afternoon, the girl who was none other than Enne, who possessed the aura that Cygnus had been searching for all this time, his mate's aura."We haven't confirmed it yet. I want to be cautious," Altair calmly stated."I—it—we've been holding back for so long. You don't know how frustrating it is to restrain this
Enne froze even as Altair approached her. Enne remained still even when she could feel Altair's breath brushing against her neck. The girl was so shocked that she couldn't move. What Enne couldn't clearly see was Altair's struggle with the wolf inside him. Cygnus was truly exerting all his abilities to take over Altair's body, but the man was still trying to defend himself from being taken over. "I don't smell anything." Altair informed him. "You don't know anything, I can clearly see her tempting brown tail swaying." Cygnus insisted. "She's not the girl we're looking for." Altair continued to resist. "I don't care, I want her." Cygnus was consumed by his desire. Altair's face at the intersection of Enne's neck prevented the girl from seeing Altair's eyes changing several times from brown to golden and back to human eyes again, continuously like that until Enne regained control of herself and took a step back from Altair, automatically releasing his hand. "What are you doing?" E
"Who are you?" Enne immediately asked when the familiar voice sounded again."Do you like him too?" Instead of answering Enne's question, the voice returned with a question of its own."Who?" Enne asked again."The white wolf, at first, he was very scary, he had a strong intimidation, but if you look closely, he's also sweet."Enne frowned as the voice from within her mind resurfaced."The white wolf?" Enne muttered. Her head throbbed in pain. "I'm not crazy, right?" Enne monologued, thinking she was already accustomed to the strangeness within her, like when she could read other people's minds, but this was the first time she experienced something as odd as now, talking to someone who she felt was inside her own body."I am you," the voice said again.Enne shook her head gently, feeling that she was hallucinating."You're not hallucinating," the voice said as if it could read Enne's thoughts."I'm going crazy," Enne murmured softly, feeling her soul shaken a little after meeting the
"My parents have passed away," Altair replied casually.Enne immediately stopped in her tracks. She didn't mean to bring up such a sensitive topic.A smile appeared on Altair's handsome face as he could see Enne's expression. "I'm fine."Enne didn't say anything else. She awkwardly cut the meat in front of her and continued eating.**Enne tightened her brown coat as the snow began to fall. As a newcomer to the place, she didn't know what tasks to do. Enne glanced at Altair, who seemed busy discussing with a man of his age, wearing a serious expression. They seemed occupied, and Enne didn't want to disturb them.When Enne went to the kitchen, the servants didn't allow her to help with their tasks. Enne was confused, not knowing what to do. In the end, she could only stare at the falling snow in Altair's yard.A white rabbit that was sitting quietly beside Altair's house caught Enne's attention.Enne's legs immediately took her towards the exit, but her steps were halted by a guard blo
Like de javu, Enne had experienced this before, when her body could not move and Altair pressed their bodies together."Altair...?" called Enne hesitantly, Altair's breath on her neck felt warm, Enne got goosebumps.Unlike before, there was no braking Altair's actions, the man's hazel eyes had already turned into wolf eyes. Cygnus was very passionate inside Altair, even Altair himself could not control his mind when smelling Enne's pheromones."Al-" Enne's breath caught as Altair's lips landed on the skin of her neck. Enne's common sense tried to take over, but something else inside her was curious and forced Enne to surrender, until a moan escaped Enne's lips.Altair had just bitten Enne's neck.Enne's voice was able to restore Altair's brown eyes that were previously golden yellow. At the same time, Altair could smell something other than Enne's seductive pheromones."Someone was with you before?" Altair's deep voice tingled in Enne's ears.Altair had already moved his body away fro
"What has happened? Where is my girl?" Cygnus asked Altair in a tone full of anger. How could he not? Altair had forcibly put him to sleep while he was waiting for Enne to arrive. When he woke up, Cygnus found himself in his study again without Enne.Altair took a deep breath. "Not now.""What do you mean? You ...." Cygnus did not continue his words."Yes, I injected the suppressant into her," Altair replied with a flat face, his gaze focused on the file on his workbench, but Cygnus knew very well that Altair's true state was in turmoil."You're crazy," Cygnus scolded. Suppressants were drugs Altair often took to suppress his hormones. All this time, Altair had believed in the prophecy about his fated mate. It was Altair's fault for marking Enne. Altair did not want to be rash by mating with Enne.Again, Altair could only let out a rough sigh. He was well aware that his rut cycle had become messy due to taking the suppres
Andhara was still silent.Lynx, who had long been silent due to his weakness, suddenly took over Enne's body. Golden light surrounded the girl's body, and in an instant, her body transformed into a beautiful golden brown wolf. The wolf instantly shot off at high speed, leaving the still shocked Andhara behind.'I know you're weak, Lynx,' Enne thought from inside her body. 'But thank you.'It's our job to survive, Enne,' Lynx replied in a determined tone.The cold wind and freezing snow were no obstacles.

She was getting closer, reducing the distance between them.***On the other side, Altair and Stella had arrived at a denser forest, where tall trees stood l
The snow that covered the forest created an atmosphere of piercing silence, only the roaring steps of Altair and Stella in wolf form could be heard. Altair, in his dashing white wolf form, led at the front with incredible speed. Stella followed closely, her gray wolf looking alert and full of concentration.Altair's mind whirled endlessly. The conversation before this trip kept haunting his mind.***"Altair, you have to trust Cygnus," Stella said as they talked in Stella's study. "If you and Enne are truly mates destined by the Moon Goddess, you have a bond with her. Use that to find her."Altair stared at Stella with a sharp gaze, her facial expression showing doubt. "That bond might not be strong enough. I've only marked it, and Enne... she hasn't even accepted Lynx's existence completely.""That's not important," Stella replied firmly. "You've already marked it. That's enough to start the bond between your inner wolves. You just need to ask Cygnus to search for Lynx's whereabouts.
The sun had just risen when Stella returned to the Purple Moon Pack with a triumphant expression. Her long black hair that was usually neatly arranged was now a little messy, and blood stains decorated her leather jacket. Behind her, several warriors from her pack followed with heavy steps, carrying the lifeless body of the rogue.Altair, who was waiting for Stella's news in the main hall, rose from his chair upon seeing his cousin. His eyes swept over Stella carefully, making sure she was unharmed."You're late," Altair said in a low tone. "What happened?"Stella pushed aside the strands of hair that fell on her face, then folded her arms across her chest. "That Rogue is harder to catch than I thought. She had incredible agility, but in the end she was outmatched by us.""And she died," Altair replied coldly.Stella nodded, not looking the least bit sorry. "He was too dangerous to be left alive. Besides, she didn't give us much information, except for one important thing.""What's th
The night air was cold when Enne opened his eyes slowly. He found himself in a room with simple wooden walls. Unlike the previous places that were dark and gloomy, this house looked ordinary, like a normal human home. A small wooden table, a simple sofa, and a fireplace in the corner of the room gave the impression of warmth, but Enne knew better than to let her guard down.The last thing Enne remembered was Andhara who was about to tackle her too, but Enne struggled until they almost fell, but at that moment, Andhara suddenly knocked her out until Enne didn't remember anything anymore.Enne reflexively held her neck, afraid that Andhara had really marked her, but she didn't feel anything like when Altair marked her first. Enne could only hope that Andhara didn't do anything to her while she was unconscious.In the end, Enne carefully observed her surroundings. There was no sign of the rogues or the person in the black hood that she had seen earlier. But Andhara-the man who had brough
Night crept in slowly, bringing with it a chill that pierced the skin. Under the full moonlight that bathed the forest in a silvery glow, two wolf figures galloped through the night mist. In front, Altair, a large white wolf with fur that glistened like snow, was traveling at full speed. Behind him, a slightly smaller gray wolf followed with regular breathing-that was Devota.Altair had not said a word since they left his territory. His heavy breathing sounded rhythmic with the long steps that broke the silence of the night. Devota, who usually didn't say much, knew very well that Altair was lost in his own thoughts. He could feel the worry and tension surrounding his leader."Alpha," Devota's voice sounded in his mind through their mental bond. "Are you sure you're leaving the search for Miss Etienne entirely to the warriors? What if they need you?""I have to do this, Devota," Altair replied in a firm tone, despite the slight uncertainty implied. "Etienne is in greater danger than w
Enne blinked her eyes, trying to adjust her vision to the dimly lit room. The pain in her wrists stung, and she soon realized her hands were tied to a cold wooden chair. Her breath caught as her eyes began to focus on who was in front of her.In front of her, stood Andhara with a cold yet meaningful gaze. The man who had always seemed mysterious now stood with a serious expression. However, that was not the thing that made Enne more uneasy. At the side of the room, six people with sharp eyes were watching her. Enne recognized them-they were the rogues who were previously captured and held in the Altair village prison.Enne felt her heart racing. They were the escaped rogues... and they were all here with Andhara, her guess was not off, this was clear evidence that Andhara was one of them.Suddenly, from the shadows in the corner of the room, a person appeared with a dark coat and a hood that covered most of his face. The mysterious figure walked up to Andhara, signaling the other rogu
Enne was still rooted to the spot. The word "Alpha" that came out from Lynx echoed in his mind. Alpha? Andhara was an Alpha? His mind instantly spun, remembering Devota who often called Altair with the same title. Isn't an Alpha the leader of a pack, the strongest and most respected? If so, was Andhara as strong as Altair?However, before Enne sank further into her confusion, Lynx's voice rang out again, softer this time, like a mentor about to explain something."Every wolf pack has an Alpha," Lynx said in her mind, his voice soothing, though Enne could sense a hint of worry behind it. "The Alpha is the leader of the pack, the most dominant and the most powerful. An Alpha can be male or female. Altair is the Alpha of your village, but he's not the only one in that position. His cousin, Stella, is the Alpha of another pack. However, since they have separate packs, there is no conflict between them."Enne tried to understand the explanation, although her mind was still shrouded in conf
"Andhara... do you have any connection to the rogues who attacked the village?"Enne stared at Andhara with sharp eyes, waiting for the man's answer to her question just now. Seconds passed in silence, but Andhara didn't give any reaction. His face remained calm, showing no signs of shock or anger. His silence felt like confirmation to Enne-a wordless answer that confirmed all his suspicions.Andhara stared back, his eyes deep and enigmatic, yet not a word escaped his lips. Enne felt shaky, but not from the cold. From the look in those eyes, a glimpse of a shadow appeared in her mind, and she felt it-a faint hint of a hidden memory or intention behind Andhara's eyes. Something dark and devious. She tried to make sense of the sudden memory, and the conclusion that came to her was horrifying.He is indeed one of them... Enne thought with mixed feelings of fear and anger. Andhara was part of the rogues who attacked her village.The thought disturbed her. It had been a long time since she
In the middle of a shivering snow-covered forest, Altair stood upright, looking towards the northwest. The thickening snow mist covered the tracks on the ground, making every step elusive. Several warriors stood behind him, awaiting orders. Next to him, Devota looked at him attentively, her eyes trying to read their leader's now troubled face."Alpha," Devota said, her tone formal yet full of concern. "Maybe we should stop the search for a while. This blizzard is getting crazy, and we're losing our way."Altair didn't answer immediately, just squinted, trying to see more clearly even though his vision was obscured by the fog. The cold bit into his bones, and he felt the foreboding growing stronger. But his mind wasn't just on the rogues they were hunting-there was another image nagging at his heart. Enne.She had left the village early in the morning to hunt for the trail of the rogues who had escaped the night before, but ever since the storm had started, she had been feeling restles
