Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 61: Into the Unknown
Elena’s Point of ViewAs the crimson glow of the Blood Moon bathed the forest in eerie light, Elena couldn’t shake the feeling that something - or someone - was watching. The tension from the northern border lingered in her chest like a knot, tightening with every passing minute.The pack house was quieter than usual, the warriors either on patrol or resting in preparation for the days ahead. Elena sat by the window in her room, her gaze fixed on the dark treetops swaying in the breeze. The air felt alive with a strange energy, humming faintly against her senses.Kaia stirred within her, her presence steady and strong. You feel it too, her wolf said.What is it? Elena asked, her thoughts drifting back to the oppressive atmosphere near the border.Kaia hesitated, her tone thoughtful. It’s old. Powerful. But hidden. Whatever it is, it doesn’t want to be found yet.The answer offered little comfort.A knock at the door broke her thoughts, and she turned to see Ren stepping inside. His ex
Last Updated : 2024-12-05Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 62 : Bound by Fire
Elena’s Point of ViewThe day’s weight lingered long after the last light of dusk faded, casting the pack house in shadows. The faint glow of the Blood Moon outside the window bathed the room in crimson, a reminder of the unknown that loomed closer with every breath.Elena sat on the edge of the bed, her thoughts a swirling storm of fear, anticipation and determination. Ren had been quiet since dinner, his tension palpable as he stood by the window, his silhouette framed by the eerie light.She watched him for a moment, taking in the set of his shoulders, the way his hands rested on the windowsill as if holding himself steady against the chaos threatening to consume them.“Ren,” she said softly, breaking the silence.He turned, his amber eyes glowing faintly in the dim light. “I’m sorry,” he said, his voice rough. “I know I’ve been distant. There’s just... so much.”Elena stood, crossing the room to him. She placed a hand on his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart beneath her

Ren’s Point of ViewThe morning came with an eerie stillness that set Ren’s wolf on edge. The forest, usually alive with birdsong and the rustle of wildlife, felt unnaturally quiet. Ren stood on the balcony outside his room, the cool breeze brushing against his bare chest as he gazed at the horizon. The faint crimson glow of the Blood Moon still lingered, its presence a reminder that time was running out.Behind him, he heard the soft rustle of sheets as Elena stirred. He turned, his heart tightening at the sight of her. Her hair was a tousled mess, her skin flushed from sleep, and her breathing soft and even. She looked peaceful, and it was a stark contrast to the turmoil churning inside him.His wolf growled low in his mind, a protective rumble that matched his own thoughts. She’s ours. We’ll protect her, no matter what.We will, Ren agreed silently.He stepped back into the room, the floorboards creaking slightly under his weight. Elena’s eyes fluttered open, her gaze softening whe
Last Updated : 2024-12-06Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 64: The Poison in the Shadows
Ren’s Point of ViewThe moon hung heavy in the sky, its crimson glow casting an ominous light over the forest. The air was thick, charged with an unnatural energy that made Ren’s wolf restless. He paced the war room, his eyes darting to the map spread out before him. Every mark, every patrol route, felt inadequate against the creeping darkness he could sense just beyond the borders.Kael burst through the door, his usual smirk replaced by a grim set to his jaw. Mirella followed close behind, her sharp gaze darting to Ren.“They’re back,” Kael said, his voice clipped. “But it’s bad, Alpha. Real bad.”Ren’s stomach tightened as he straightened. “Where are they?”“Medical wing,” Mirella answered. “You’re going to want to see this.”The scene in the medical wing was worse than Ren had imagined. Two of the three warriors sent to scout the northern woods sat on the beds, their expressions weary but intact. The third, however, was barely conscious.His skin was pale, his breathing shallow, a
Last Updated : 2024-12-07Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 65 : The Black Fog
Elena’s Point of ViewThe toxic fog was a specter that refused to leave Elena’s mind, its creeping darkness clinging to her thoughts even as the pack worked tirelessly to fortify their borders. The image of the scout, his veins darkened and his breathing shallow, haunted her every moment.Sitting in the library, Elena stared at the prophecy book before her. The words seemed to mock her, offering cryptic warnings but no tangible solutions. She tapped her fingers against the desk, frustration building as her wolf stirred restlessly.Then, a flicker of something.A memory surfaced, faint but insistent. A page in a book - an old text she had studied years ago during her comparative mythology seminars. It had described a similar phenomenon: a fog that killed everything it touched, associated with ancient rituals meant to draw power from death itself.Her breath hitched, and she shot to her feet, the chair scraping against the floor.“Elena?” Ren’s voice was calm but laced with concern. He
Last Updated : 2024-12-07Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 66 : Whispers of the Wolf
Elena’s Point of ViewThe air in the library was thick with tension as Elena sat alone, the book of prophecies open before her. The faded note she had discovered earlier lay on the desk beside her, its cryptic message etched into her mind like a dark mantra.“The awakened’s sacrifice will close the breach.”Her fingers traced the edge of the page, her thoughts a chaotic storm of questions. What did it mean to be awakened? And why did it have to be a sacrifice?Kaia stirred within her, the wolf’s presence warm and steady.You’re troubled, Kaia said, her voice soft but firm.How could I not be? Elena replied silently. What if the sacrifice is me? What if it means... my life?Kaia growled, a low rumble that resonated through Elena’s mind. We don’t know that yet. But if it is... we’ll face it together.Elena closed her eyes, taking a deep breath to steady herself. The bond with Kaia was still new, still strange, but in moments like this, it felt like an anchor - a reminder that she wasn’t
Last Updated : 2024-12-07Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 67 : The Edge of Revelation
Ren’s Point of ViewThe day was unnaturally quiet, the kind of silence that set every nerve on edge. Ren paced the war room, his wolf restless as they awaited news from the northern border. His eyes flicked to the map on the table, the marked spots where patrols had reported the creeping fog.The toxic darkness was spreading, slow but deliberate, and the urgency of the prophecy weighed heavily on his mind.Kael entered the room, his expression grim. “The scouts are back,” he said. “But it’s not good news.”Ren nodded, his jaw tightening. “Bring them in.”Kael motioned to the door, and two warriors stepped inside, their faces pale and their movements stiff. One of them held a small, charred branch, its surface blackened and brittle as if it had been set ablaze and then frozen in time.“This was the closest we could get,” the scout said, holding it out to Ren. “The fog... it kills everything. Trees, plants, even the insects. It doesn’t burn - it just... consumes.”Ren took the branch, h
Last Updated : 2024-12-08Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 68 : Shadows at the Veil
Elena’s Point of ViewThe night was unnaturally quiet, the air heavy with an oppressive stillness that seeped into Elena’s bones. The Blood Moon hung high in the ink-black sky, its crimson glow casting the forest in eerie shadows.Elena stood at the edge of the pack house’s grounds, her breath fogging in the cool air as she gazed toward the northern woods. The toxic fog lingered there, an ominous darkness that seemed to pulse and writhe as if alive.Kaia stirred within her, her presence sharp and alert. Something is moving out there, the wolf warned.Elena’s stomach tightened, and she turned as Ren approached, his movements quick and purposeful. His amber eyes glowed faintly in the moonlight, his wolf close to the surface.“It’s spreading faster,” he said, his voice low. “Kael just reported from the northern border. The fog’s reached the outer patrol line.”Elena’s chest tightened. “How much time do we have?”“A day, maybe two,” Ren said. “And that’s if it doesn’t accelerate again.”E

Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 118: A Day of Love and Unity
Elena’s Point of ViewThe morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow over the room. Elena stood before the full-length mirror, her heart racing as she gazed at her reflection. Her ivory gown clung perfectly to her frame, the delicate embroidery shimmering like starlight. The flowing skirt cascaded around her, soft and ethereal, as if spun from moonlight itself.Behind her, Sara fussed with the veil, her eyes gleaming with pride.“Stop moving,” Sara scolded playfully, adjusting the delicate lace. “I swear, Elena, you’re going to give me a heart attack. You look like a goddess, and I refuse to let anything mess that up.”Elena laughed nervously, her hands brushing over the smooth fabric of her dress. “I can’t believe this is happening.”Sara stepped back, her expression softening. “Believe it. Today is your day, Elena. You deserve every bit of happiness coming your way.”Mirella entered the room, her sharp eyes taking in Elena’s appearance. For once, her usual
Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 117: A Union to Remember
Elena’s Point of ViewThe council chamber buzzed with quiet anticipation as Elena and Ren took their seats at the head of the long oak table. Around them, the elders and key members of the pack leaned in, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and excitement.Elder Maren was the first to speak, her sharp eyes flicking between Elena and Ren. “Alpha, Luna,” she began, her tone formal. “We understand you have an announcement to make.”Ren glanced at Elena, his golden eyes softening before he turned his attention back to the council. “We do,” he said firmly. “Elena and I have decided to marry.”A ripple of approval swept through the room, though Maren’s brow furrowed slightly. “A momentous occasion,” she said. “But I trust you’ve considered the significance of this union for the pack?”Elena straightened, meeting Maren’s gaze with calm determination. “We have,” she said. “This isn’t just about us - it’s about the pack. Our bond strengthens the unity of the wolves, and the wedding will b
Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 116: "Will you ... ?"
Elena’s Point of ViewThe pack house was unusually quiet that evening, the faint rustle of the forest outside the only sound breaking the stillness. After the emotional weight of the truce negotiations and the constant tension of the past weeks, the calm felt almost surreal.Elena sat on the edge of the balcony attached to their quarters, her legs swinging over the edge as she gazed at the stars. The cool breeze carried the scent of pine and earth, soothing her frayed nerves.Kaia stirred gently in her mind. It feels good, doesn’t it? A moment to breathe.“It does,” Elena murmured, her lips curving into a soft smile.Behind her, she heard the faint sound of footsteps. She turned to see Ren stepping onto the balcony, his golden eyes catching the starlight. He wore a simple white shirt and dark slacks, his hair slightly tousled, giving him an effortlessly handsome look.“You’re going to freeze out here,” Ren said, his voice warm as he approached.Elena shrugged, her smile widening. “The
Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 115: A Pact of Peace
Elena’s Point of ViewThe air in the pack house war room was tense with anticipation as Elena paced back and forth, her mind racing with the implications of the conversation she was about to have. The battle against the rogues had forged an uneasy alliance with the humans, but now came the harder part - turning that fragile understanding into something permanent.Ren stood near the map-covered table, his golden eyes following Elena’s movements. “You’re going to wear a hole in the floor,” he said softly, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.She stopped mid-step, giving him a half-hearted glare. “I’m just trying to figure out how to approach this. One wrong word, and the whole thing could fall apart.”Ren crossed the room in a few long strides, placing a steadying hand on her shoulder. “You’ve already proven yourself to them, Elena. They saw you fight for their safety. That means something.”Kael and Mirella entered the room, their expressions serious. “The mayor just called,” Kael said.
Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 114: A Plan to End the Chaos
Elena’s Point of ViewThe morning air was crisp as Elena stood on the balcony overlooking the bustling courtyard below. Warriors moved with purpose, preparing for the day’s patrols and reinforcing the borders. Despite the renewed energy in the pack, Elena couldn’t shake the sense of urgency pressing down on her.Kaia stirred in her mind, steady and resolute. The forest has accepted us, but that won’t stop the threats circling at its edges. We need to act before they strike again.Elena nodded to herself, her gaze hardening. “We’ll find the rogues,” she murmured. “And we’ll finish this.”A knock at the door drew her attention, and Ren stepped out onto the balcony, his golden eyes bright with determination.“Elena,” he said, his voice low. “Kael’s waiting in the war room. He has a report from the patrols.”Elena turned to him, her expression firm. “Good. It’s time we take the fight to the rogues. And I have another idea - one that could secure peace with the town.”Ren raised an eyebrow
Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 113: A Fragile Calm
Elena’s Point of ViewThe return to the pack house was quiet but tense, the weight of the Sacred Grove’s trials still heavy in Elena’s mind. Each step through the forest felt lighter than the last, as though the trees themselves were parting in reverence to the blessing that had been bestowed.Ren walked close to her, his arm brushing against hers occasionally, as though grounding himself in her presence. Kael and Mirella followed a short distance behind, their sharp eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of danger.Kaia stirred in Elena’s mind, her voice calm but strong. The forest accepts us now. It’s quiet, watching, but its bond with us has been renewed.Elena exhaled softly, her shoulders relaxing slightly. “I hope it’s enough,” she murmured under her breath.Ren glanced at her, his golden eyes filled with unspoken questions. “What did you give?” he asked finally, his voice low.Elena hesitated, her steps faltering. She met his gaze, her hazel eyes steady but troubled. “I don’t k
Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 112: Proving the Bond
Elena POVThe Sacred Grove seemed to pulse with its own heartbeat, the energy thick and suffocating as the ground beneath Elena’s feet began to shift again. The moss glowed brighter, almost blinding, and the air vibrated with an unseen force.“Elena,” Ren called, stepping toward her, but an invisible barrier shimmered into existence, cutting him off.“Stay back!” Elena shouted, her voice trembling but resolute. “This is my trial.”Ren’s golden eyes burned with worry as he slammed his fist against the barrier. “Elena, don’t...”“I have to,” she said firmly, turning to face the altar as a strange wind whipped through the clearing.The branches above creaked and groaned as they parted further, letting beams of silver light from the unseen moon illuminate the altar. Symbols etched into the stone flared to life, glowing with a brilliance that seemed to pierce through Elena’s very being.Kaia’s voice was steady in her mind. This is the moment, Elena. Be strong.The altar’s glow shifted, cas
Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 111: Journey to the Sacred Grove
Elena’s Point of ViewThe forest was still as Elena stepped into its shadowy embrace, her heart pounding with a mixture of determination and unease. Ren walked beside her, his presence a steady anchor as they made their way toward the Sacred Grove. Behind them, Kael and Mirella flanked their path, their sharp eyes scanning the dense undergrowth for any sign of danger.The ancient texts and the Luna’s journal had painted a vivid picture of the Grove - a place where the forest’s magic was at its strongest, where the Moon Goddess’s presence could be felt in every whisper of the wind and rustle of the leaves. But no one had been there in decades, perhaps longer.Kaia stirred in Elena’s mind, her voice calm but firm. This is where we’re meant to be. The answers we need are waiting for us.Elena nodded, her hazel eyes narrowing as she focused on the path ahead. “Let’s hope the forest agrees.”Leaving the pack house had been no easy decision. The tension among the pack was palpable, the warr
Alpha and Human Professor Chapter 110: Unearthing Secrets
Elena’s Point of ViewThe morning sun bathed the library in golden light, casting long shadows across the ancient tomes and scrolls lining the shelves. Elena stood at one of the large tables in the center of the room, a thick, weathered book open before her.Ren was nearby, leaning against the table with his arms crossed, his golden eyes scanning the room as if expecting answers to appear out of thin air. His presence was steadying, though she could feel the tension radiating from him.“This ritual,” Elena said, breaking the silence. “If it’s as powerful as the texts suggest, it could save us. But I don’t want to risk anything without knowing exactly what we’re dealing with.”Ren nodded, his voice low. “And you’re sure the texts here will have what we need?”“They have to,” Elena said firmly. “The old packs recorded everything - rituals, prophecies, even alliances. If there’s an answer, it’s here.”Kael and Mirella entered the library, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and dete
