(Almira’s POV)

I sipped my wine as I tried to ignore the tension that’s currently filling the room.

I didn’t sign up for this.

"Lysander, explain this!" Rachelle shouted. It was so loud that you could hear her voice echoing off the stone walls. She frantically looked at me like she was trying to kill me with just her eyes. I looked at her boredly. She thinks I have time for her ridiculous accusations?

Embarrassed, Lysander stood up from his seat to stop his wife from making a scene. I gave both of them a bored look. Am I really supposed to hear all of this right now? "This is none of your business, Rachelle. You shouldn’t be here. And why are you even home so early?"

Rachelle looked at him in disbelief. She must not be expecting Lysander to lash at her like that.

A part of me wants to feel bad for her, but what can I do? I just want to pat myself at the back for dodging a bullet. Leaving him was the best decision I made in my life. I can’t imagine myself standing in her shoes. She’s a

    (Almira’s POV)Like I was expecting, the guest bathroom is just as fancy as this entire place. I just finished my bath in my own jacuzzi.I was thinking of stepping out onto the balcony for some fresh air, so I wrapped myself in a soft robe to battle the cold breeze of the night.The night is quiet except for the rustling of the trees below. If there’s something I like about the Shadow Weaver’s pack, it is the fact that they are close to the main border. According to the myth, this is what separates the werewolves from the land of vampires and witches.But that's not what I like about it.As a feared border, it is left untouched for so many years. Some werewolves who dared to enter it spread stories that it’s actually very beautiful inside. They describe it as paradise.It’s basically a forest, spreading two square kilometers across. Despite it having a haunting past, it never really started any conflicts.Until now…I called back home earlier to check on the twins, hoping to hear Ric

    (Almira’s POV)“Alpha, do you feel nauseous or anything?" the healer asked.We’re currently here at the infirmary of their pack mansion as the healer tries to figure out what happened to Lysander. His back bears a long scratch, but what catches everyone’s attention is the strange blue liquid that seems to mix with his blood.It somehow reminds me of the blue mark on the werewolf victims. I’m starting to think that it was actually them we encountered last night.The healer frowned and gently pressed on the wound.Lysander shook his head. "No, I feel nothing,” he replied flatly. He barely flinched as the healer applied a cool salve over the scratch.I watch silently in the corner of the room. Something about it feels off. I remember how we never separated in the woods. We were together when we were attacked by those strange creatures that roamed the forest.Now, here we are, and I see no injuries on me at all.The healer turned to me next. "Miss Almira, are you hurt? I don’t see any mar

    (Almira’s POV)Beta Mid and I don’t have to think hard to know what the hell is going on right now. These rogues have attacked the guards that we assigned to post on the border.The scent of blood fills the air as we prepare ourselves for a gruesome fight against them. I’m sure they’re thinking that we are their next meal."Alpha, run!" Beta Mid shouted. "I'll distract them."I whipped my head towards him. Run? I can’t do that to him. He can’t fight them all by himself. "No! I'm not leaving you to fight them alone,” I refused firmly. He looked at me worriedly, but my eyes were already blazing in defiance.“Rghhhh!!!”There's no time to argue.The rogues with bared teeth and wild eyes lunged into thin air. Beta Mid shifted instantly into his wolf form. A black and powerful wolf stood against the moonlight. He charged forward, slamming into the first rogue with bone-crushing force.The sounds of their skin tearing made my ears itch.I watched him fight—five against one. He’s skilled, fa

    (Lysander’s POV)“WHAT?!” I frantically reacted when I found out that Almira went to the woods without me this morning.I literally just got back from dropping Rachelle back to the City. I’m done with her watching me like a dog. There's no way I can do my job properly if she’s here making this complicated.The Beta lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Alpha. We told her to wait for you, but she insisted on going alone.”“Fuck!” I cursed.I frustratingly threaded my fingers through my hair.I just handled Rachelle for the night, and then I will find out that she leaves this morning to do a very dangerous task all by herself?We barely made it out alive last time!“She’s not exactly alone, Alpha,” one of the werewolves said. I angrily glanced at him. What the fuck does he mean? “Beta Mid came with her. He said that he would escort Alpha Almira to the woods.”Beta Mid did that?What he should have done was stop her. I left him here to make sure that Almira would be safe. Why the hell would he b

But the man loved another, so she used her dark powers to curse their unborn child.However, Alpha Sylvia was able to reverse the curse using an ancient ritual that cost them to lose their own werewolf abilities.But what they didn't expect is Almira’s special ability to heal and shield. As a werewolf, this is a rare occurrence that is usually associated with the white magic—something that should have been long gone centuries ago.“Almira?” Alpha Sylvia called out from the kitchen. She just tasted her soup, and it still lacks something.Maybe her little Almira could help her.The little girl who was playing with the rabbits got up from the ground to run back

Where was I at that time? I saw my Mom and Dad… but who was that kid?Why did I save him?“It’s you, right?” Lysander confronted, pulling me back to my senses.He gave me a stern stare as if he’s not taking a “no” for an answer. I looked him in the eyes, confused by the words he’s saying. Is he talking about that memory I just flashed back into my eyes?“You saved me from the wild rogues in the forest. You used your powers to shield me from them. You healed my woun–”“Argh!” I groaned when I suddenly felt a throbbing pain inside my head.It was so sharp that it made me lose my balance.Lysander quickly caught me before my knees could touch the ground.“Almira!” he blurted. “What’s happening?

    (Rich’s POV)Private tutoring? On Saturday?I know that I don’t have children, but I’ve been sending the twins to school their whole lives. I know that it’s the adults who make the decisions whether the students who are the same age as Hazel and Asher should get private tutoring.I glanced across the room where the closed door of the study room is standing across from me.I’m currently in the kitchen, washing the dishes that I used to make pancakes. The clatter of plates and running water barely masked the uneasy feeling in my gut. That new male teacher is at our house, and I don't feel comfortable with him here.I know the twins are pushing for his "private tutoring" so he stays, but it never sits well with me.I don’t know.Something just feels off about him…Even when the kids like him so much.After finishing a plate, I decided to check on them in the study room. There’s just no way I can function properly knowing that there’s a stranger in the house. I headed upstairs and tried t

    (Almira’s POV)“Arghmmm…” I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw were the branches of trees clumping above me.Where am I?The last thing I remember was talking to Lysander and then—I glanced around the place.Everything is clear yet strangely enchanting. I sit up slowly and look around. "Where am I?" I asked aloud. The trees are tall and the air here is cool and fresh.What is this place?Where are Lysander, Mid, and the Pack Healer?Did I die?I stood up and began to walk along a narrow path. My mind is buzzing with questions, but I’m trying so hard to make sense of everything.Suddenly I heard a distant voice calling my name."Almira... Almira..."Who’s that?I followed the sound until I came to a gentle stream. The water glimmers in the faint moonlight as it flows over smooth stones.Then, a firefly caught my attention. It’s a lonely one. But its light is enough to astonish me. It flew around me, like it was telling me to follow it deeper to the forest.“Maybe you can guide m

    (Almira’s POV)I don’t trust her smile.Not the one she gave my daughter when she asked if she liked painting, her voice all syrup and false warmth. Not the one she flashed at Asher when she offered him cookies she hadn’t even baked herself, pretending to care.And now, after what Mid told me… it all makes sense.She’s watching them. Not like children—but like riddles she’s desperate to solve. Every glance, every question, it’s calculated. Measured. Like she’s gathering data.I pace by the window, arms folded, eyes locked on the backyard. The kids are playing, completely unaware. So innocent. So normal. Asher’s shadow dances at his feet as he laughs, his joy loud and unfiltered. Hazel’s kneeling on the stones, drawing suns and hearts in chalk, her hair catching the light like strands of gold.

    (Rachelle’s POV)They’re here.The twins. Almira’s children.I hear it from the servants before breakfast — whispered between dusting and folding towels. I’m sipping tea on the balcony, watching birds land on the railing like they know I’m in a mood.“Did you hear?” the younger one says, not knowing I’m listening. “The twins are back. Damon brought them straight to the Alpha’s quarters.”“Their mother too,” the older one adds, a little too loud. “She’s staying for a while.”I set my teacup down gently. The clink of porcelain is the only sound I allow.So, she’s here. Again.I rest a hand on my stomach, just enough to play the part. A gentle rub, a soft sigh. The baby bump is small, but it’s there. People soften when they see it. Men open doors. Women smile. It’s almost too easy.The first time I heard about the twins’ abilities, I didn’t believe it. It sounded like nonsense. Glowing eyes. Shadows that move. One of the servants even said Asher made a wolf go still just by looking at it

    (Almira’s POV)The fortress looms just past the olive trees, half in ruins, half reinforced by tech that doesn’t belong in a place this ancient.Motion sensors. Night vision cams.No doubt, someone rich and dangerous has paid good money to make this dump invisible to regular eyes.We crouch behind the brush, breathing slow. Damon’s a few paces behind, watching the road. Lysander is too close to me for comfort.“You take the west wall,” I say. “I’ll go straight in.”He frowns. “You always want to be the bait, don’t you?”“I don’t trust anyone else to do it right.”“Even me?”“Especially you.”His jaw tightens. “You really think I’d let anyone touch our kids?”“I think you’ve lied to me before,” I shoot back. “You’ve made decisions like you were the only one who mattered. Forgive me if I’m not thrilled to hand you my trust again.”He doesn’t respond. Maybe because I’m right.I don’t wait for his reply. I slip through the shadows, cloak pulled over my head, senses tuned to every sound. M

    (Almira's POV)We arrive in Italy just before sunrise. Damon’s driving like he’s got fire in his veins, but it still feels too slow. Every minute my kids are out there with God knows who is a minute too long.As we pull up to Lysander’s estate, I see him already standing at the front steps like he’s been waiting. Of course he’s waiting. Perfect posture. Blank expression. Just like always.I don’t even let Damon stop the car fully before I jump out. My boots hit the ground hard, and I march straight toward him.“You’ve got nerve,” I say, arms crossed, staring him down. “Standing there like you didn’t just have my children taken.”Lysander raises an eyebrow. “Almira, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“Don’t play innocent. You sent Damon to sniff around them. You’ve been poking into their lives without telling me. Now they’re gone. You really expect me to believe that’s a coincidence?”His eyes narrow. “I didn’t take them.”I let out a dry laugh. “Right. You just *happened* to be

    (Reginald’s POV)The silver cage stands stark against the dim light filtering through the trees. It’s a place of containment, a carefully designed prison made to hold creatures like them. I stride toward it, the weight of authority heavy on my shoulders. Inside, the twins lay unconscious, their small bodies vulnerable against the cold metal.I watch as my men secure the locks, ensuring that the cage is impenetrable. They’ve been prepared for this moment for some time, but seeing it in action brings a strange satisfaction. These kids, with their inherited powers, will be the key to my strength and influence.“What now, Alpha?” one of my guards asks, looking between the twins and me.I consider them, each breath they take a reminder of their potential. “We wait. They’ll wake up soon enough. I want them to understand the power they possess—and what happens when they choose to defy it.”Another guard steps closer. “What if Almira comes looking for them?”I wave my hand dismissively. “Let

    (Reginald’s POV)“Hold him tighter, damn it. He’s just a pup!”The guard stumbles, struggling to keep Asher pinned. The boy kicks and thrashes like a wild thing, teeth bared, his little body sparking with power. Impressive. Dangerous.“Let me go!” Asher yells, his voice cracking with rage.The other guard grips Hazel, who is crying now but still managing to bite down hard on the man’s wrist. He curses, shaking her off, blood dripping from his hand.I step out of the shadows, expression unreadable. My coat flaps in the wind, and the twins freeze when they see me.Asher’s eyes burn. “You—who are you? Let us go!”I don’t answer. I simply nod to the handler standing beside me. He pulls out the syringe.“No!” Asher screams, bucking harder. The first guard yells as Asher’s claws dig into his side. Blood spurts out. “Alpha—he’s—he’s too strong—”I step in and grab the boy’s jaw, holding him still.“Sorry, little wolf,” I say calmly. “Can’t have you tearing my men apart before we even get sta

    (Almira’s POV)My body feels numb. My mind is screaming, but I can’t hear anything. Just the sound of the car speeding away, carrying my children—my whole world—with it.I can’t move.No. That’s a lie.I don’t want to move.Because the moment I move, it becomes real. The moment I let go of this frozen second, it means they’re gone. Really gone.“Asher… Hazel…”Their names fall from my lips like a prayer. Like a curse.A growl rises from deep inside me. Low at first, then louder. I shift back into my wolf form, my silver-white fur glowing under the pale sky. The blood of the rogues clings to my paws. I look at the remaining ones surrounding me.They’re not even running.They want to die.“Fine,” I whisper through the link. “Then die.”I charge.Something inside me snaps. I don’t hold back. I don’t think. I tear through flesh and muscle like paper. My power lashes out from my body—violent, chaotic, barely in control. The earth trembles beneath me. I don’t know what I’m doing, only that

    (Almira’s POV)I feel the shift before it even happens. My bones crack. My skin stretches. My vision sharpens as fur replaces flesh. My white wolf form bursts through with a wave of raw power. Silver streaks shimmer under the moonlight. The cold air bites at my fur but it feels good. It feels alive.I growl low, steadying my stance. They're here.The wild rogues.One. Two. Six… nine of them. They charge without warning. No strategy. No hesitation. Just blind rage. Teeth bared. Claws out. Madness in their eyes.I leap at the first one. My jaws clamp around his shoulder and I slam him to the ground. He yelps but doesn’t stop. Another wolf barrels into me from the side, knocking me off balance.I hit the dirt hard, roll, and rise again.They keep coming.I swipe. Bite. Kick. Blood splashes across the ground but they don’t slow down. They don’t even seem to feel it.They’re not just wild. They’re… wrong.“Asher! Hazel!” I turn quickly to check on the kids. They’re still in the car, wide-e

    (Almira's POV)This is the right thing to do. I know that. I just hope that Lysander doesn't find his way to us. I can't let him have my children.The hum of the engine is the only thing filling the silence of the car. My hands grip the steering wheel tightly as the sun creeps higher over the trees. The twins are sitting in the back, unusually quiet.I know they're confused about our sudden plans to leave our house. I just told them that I'm pulling them out of their school to leave for a new place. It's not exactly something they wanted to do right now.“Where are we going again?” Hazel piped up.I glanced at her through the rearview mirror and force a calm smile. “A little trip, sweetheart. Just for a few days.”“To where?” Asher pushed. “We didn’t even pack our toys.”“It’s not about toys this time,” I said.“We just… need a little break from the city.”Asher folded his arms. “Is this about the new neighbor? The one across the street?”I blinked. “What?”“Yeah,” Hazel joined in. “Th
