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
In just the blink of an eye, Altair had arrived before Enne and Andhara, the man's sturdy arms already firmly gripping Andhara's neck with a deadly cold expression.Enne gasped of course, how could an ordinary human move that fast?"Take your hands off her." Altair warned again.Instead of obeying, Andhara's grip on Enne's hand tightened, eliciting a low groan from Enne's mouth as well as rousing the girl from her reverie.Hearing Enne's cries of pain, the look in Altair's eyes darkened, the Cygnus within Altair feeling an overwhelming rage. His grip on Andhara's neck was getting stronger which made Andhara start to struggle, but he also did not want to release his grip on Enne's wrist."She doesn't like you, to her, you're just a killer wolf she met on her first day coming to this village."Altair could hear the sound of Andhara's thoughts on him. It was annoying to see Andhara's exhausted face but the man still had time to say such a provocative sentence.Altair's grip on his hand g
The morning sky stretched over the village, its orange tinge fading into a soft blue as the sun rose slowly from the horizon. However, for Enne, this morning was not as bright as it should have been. His mind was still in turmoil, raging with questions that never found answers. Lynx... She was sure she heard her inner wolf's voice, but it was only for a brief moment.Currently, she stood by the window of her room, staring out blankly. A gentle breeze blew against her skin, but it was not enough to dispel the uneasiness that ruled her chest."Still thinking about it?"Altair's deep, calm voice broke her reverie. He had just finished putting on a shirt, his black hair still a little messy after waking up. His gaze was sharp yet gentle as he approached and stood behind Enne, both hands resting on his waist.Enne sighed. "I'm sure I heard Lynx, but when I tried to talk to him... like before, he disappeared again."Altair stared at Enne's reflection in the window glass. "Maybe he needs mor
As they walked towards the dining room, Enne couldn't shake off her uneasiness. Not only because Stella would definitely tease her again to no end, but also because of the strange feeling that had been lingering in her mind since this morning. Lynx briefly called out her name, but then went silent again.He glanced at Altair, who was walking leisurely beside him. The man looked as he always did-cold, calm, and in control. But there was something in the way he held her hand that felt different. Tighter, as if to ensure that he was there.Once they arrived at the dining room, Stella was waiting with a meaningful expression."Good morning, new couple," Stella greeted in a teasing tone.Enne immediately felt his face heat up, while Altair only gave a small snort before sitting down in his chair.Stella chuckled, her eyes twinkling with satisfaction. "Why is your face red, Enne? Ah, aren't you still tired from last night's practice?"Enne almost choked on the water she had just drunk. "Ste
That morning, the sun filtered in through the gap in the curtains, illuminating the room with a soft golden light. The morning air was still cool, even though winter had already passed. Enne sat on the side of the bed, his fingers playing with the ends of the thin scarf wrapped around his neck. It was not his habit to wear a scarf indoors, but this time he felt he needed it.Meanwhile, Altair was still lying on the bed, one arm bent behind his head, his eyes watching Enne with his usual relaxed expression. He could feel the subtle tension from the girl, especially after the night they had spent together. Altair did not regret it-not in the slightest. In fact, this was something that should have happened a long time ago.However, before they could talk further, the door to the room opened without warning."Good morning, new couple!" Stella appeared with leisurely steps, a meaningful smile etched on her face. "How did you sleep last night? Good?"Enne was shocked to death and almost jum
The training between Enne and Altair that was originally meant to be a simple training session slowly turned into something more than just physical exercise. The quiet night, lit by the faint moonlight, created an intimate atmosphere between them. Their breathing was ragged, not just from exhaustion, but from the tension that was slowly building between them.As Enne tried to launch her final attack, Altair easily dodged and caught her wrist. With one swift movement, Enne lost his balance, and in an instant he was in Altair's arms. Her heart was beating fast as their gazes met. Altair's dark eyes were filled with something Enne had never seen before-unrestrained desire."You did well," Altair murmured, his voice deep and filled with pent-up emotion.Enne was speechless. The air between them was heavy with something unspoken. Altair's hand that was still grasping her wrist slowly moved to her face, gently caressing her cheek. Enne held her breath, feeling the warmth from his touch."Al
That night, the sky above Pack Altair was covered with glittering stars. The night breeze blew gently, caressing the leaves and carrying the distinctive scent of damp forest soil. Inside his quarters, Enne sat on the edge of the bed, fiddling with his fingers restlessly. It had been several days since his secret training with Stella and until now, he still hadn't found the courage to speak to Altair."You must persuade him, Enne. If anyone can do it, it's you." Stella's words were still ringing in her head.Enne sighed heavily. It was not an easy thing to do. Not because she didn't want to be honest, but because every time she tried to open her mouth, her tongue felt numb. Altair, with his cold calm demeanor, always managed to make her lose her nerve at the last moment. But that didn't mean she gave up.Throughout the day, Enne tried to find the right time. Several times, he found himself face to face with Altair, but when the man's piercing gaze traced his face, his guts shrank. Ever
Devota stood tall before Altair, his eyes radiating seriousness as he delivered his report."Before I saw firsthand, Alpha Stella asked me to vacate the training area. I thought it was just normal training, but after I checked... I saw Stella was training with Luna Etienne."Altair did not respond immediately. His sharp eyes scrutinized Devota for a moment, before he finally leaned back in his chair, his fingers interlaced on the sturdy wooden table. To be honest, he was surprised-not because Stella was training Enne, but because Enne chose to hide this from him."She did it behind my back..." Altair muttered more to himself.Devota watched her leader's expression intently, trying to understand his reaction. She had expected Altair to be angry or at least annoyed that Luna was training without his knowledge. But the opposite was true-Altair was only surprised, not angry. He seemed more worried than upset."You're not angry?" Devota asked finally.Altair shook his head slowly. "I don't
Enne bit her lip, holding her breath as Stella attacked her again. He tried to defend himself, but as time went on, his reflexes slowed down. Her legs began to feel heavy, her body began to lose balance.Stella quickly seized the opening. Within seconds, she launched a flurry of attacks-punches, kicks, deadly moves that Enne could usually avoid. But this time, Enne was overwhelmed.Her feet stumbled as she tried to dodge, and before she could balance herself, Stella had already grabbed her arm and pushed her to the ground. Enne fell with a thud, her breath coming in gasps."You're starting to slow down," Stella commented, giving her a sharp look.Enne growled, trying to get up, but her whole body felt heavy. She looked at Stella in frustration. "I... I don't know why."Stella watched him intently, her brow furrowed. Since the beginning of the practice, she had felt that something was off with Enne. His initial movements were quite good, but over time, he grew slower and seemed unfocus
Enne sat on the balcony of his residence, staring into the distance with a blank expression. The sun was about to set, leaving a beautiful orange tinge in the sky. However, his mind could not enjoy that beauty at all.It had been more than a week since the incident at her wedding-since Andhara had kidnapped her.Or rather, someone who looked like Andhara.Ever since then, something had been wrong. Something that bothered her so much that she had trouble sleeping.Lynx was still asleep.Enne had tried to talk to her wolf. He had closed his eyes many times, focusing, hoping to hear Lynx's distinctive voice that was usually sharp and sarcastic. But, there was no answer.Normally, Lynx wouldn't stay silent if Enne felt uneasy.But now, the silence she felt was even more frightening.'What exactly is happening to me?'Her hands clenched into fists on her thighs. Ever since that incident, she tried to live her days normally. As if nothing had happened. However, the empty feeling inside her
"You've done your job well, Devota," Altair said finally. "But from now on, I will handle this myself."The next day, Altair called a surprise meeting with all the pack members. No one knew what would be discussed, but once they saw the cold look in their leader's eyes, no one dared to underestimate the urgency.Enne, who was standing beside Altair, felt confused by this situation. However, he did not say anything, just waited like the other members.When everyone had gathered, Altair stepped forward."I want to discuss something I shouldn't have to," his voice sounded heavy, each word containing power. "Our Luna has been accepted in a legitimate ceremony, and that means she is one of us. However, I hear there are those who still question her position."Silence fell over the place."I don't care who you are or where you come from, but one thing you must understand-no one in this pack has the right to challenge my decision." Altair's eyes swept the crowd with his piercing gaze. "Enne i
