POV: AARONThe perceptions of the blind wolf were intriguing. When she mentioned that the goddess had guided her, my wolf settled, seemingly in agreement with her response. Few wolves ever received answers from the Deity; only her chosen ones held such a privilege—and I was once one of them.The moon spared my life on the night of the attack, when Hunter cruelly murdered my family, dragging their bodies through the city for all to see his power. My younger siblings, Zai and Zeni, were only ten years old and were killed savagely while trying to protect Davina, who was six. The three had been playing near the clearing.That night, I received the first call from the goddess, guiding me away from the pack. Her whispers led me to a waterfall, where I saw her resplendent lupine form, sitting majestically on a massive rock amidst the fierce currents of the relentless river.“Your destiny will change painfully tonight, my child,” the divinity resonated. “I feel your pain; many of my children
POV: AARON“Tell me, Beta… when someone doesn’t give me what I want, what do I do?” I stopped in front of him, menacingly breaking the rest of the bottle in my hand, holding only a shard of glass and pressing it against the throat of the trembling wolf before me. “I torture them until they beg for their lives and give me absolutely everything I desire!”“Understood, my king,” Jaxon stammered, swallowing hard, a bead of sweat forming on his pathetic human forehead.With the shard of glass, I pressed it against his skin, collecting the bead of sweat along with a drop of blood, and brought it to my mouth, licking the glass.“Now get out of my sight and don’t come back until you have the information I need!” I snarled furiously.“Yes, my king!” the Beta stammered, bolting from the room.I sniffed toward the top of the stairs, where the wolf’s sweet scent filled the entire space. Restless and impulsive, my wolf dragged me upward, stopping at the doorway. Crossing my arms, I watched as the
POV: CALLIEI waited for the Alpha to finish his bath, but staying on my feet was becoming increasingly difficult. Running into battle and throwing myself in front of the black wolf had reopened the wounds caused by Kemilly. The dizziness intensified until darkness consumed my consciousness.I woke to the scent of fear and pain. I wasn’t sure if it came from me or another being until I noticed his overwhelming presence. Furthermore, I heard his fierce wolf growling menacingly, ready to attack, and my wolf stirred within me, responding to his energy.“Everyone fears you.” I muttered to the Alpha, filled with anger.I was surprised by his continued care. Since my mother’s death, only Orion had ever tended to me so carefully, even within his limitations. I sighed, embarrassed by the touch of his hands on my fur, allowing my mind to wander, dreaming of how his skin might feel against mine. Would it be as intense as this? My thoughts drifted to the vision, where his face had made a home in
POV: AARONThe mention of a previous love by Callie made my wolf erupt with fury. Someone had been promised to her, and I clenched my fists, determined to hunt down the bastard. If his body hadn’t already fallen to the attack, I would personally ensure he perished painfully.“Let’s rest. You need it. Tomorrow, we’ll begin your shifting training,” I growled, carrying the wolf to my bed. Beside it, the housekeeper had placed a tray of fruit and snacks. “Eat.”Sniffing the air, Callie moved her nose toward the tray but quickly pulled back, startled, turning to face me.“This is your room?”“Yes,” I replied, my gaze lingering on her lupine figure, wondering what she might look like in her human form. She was a beautiful wolf, despite her thinness caused by malnourishment.“So… this bed is yours?” she asked, her agitation clear.“Blind, not stupid—remember?” I responded sharply, sitting beside her and pulling the tray closer so she could eat in her wolf form. “Eat.”“By the smell, there’s
POV: CALLIEThe warmth of his body nearby brought a strange new sensation. I felt oddly safe and comforted, and it didn't take long for exhaustion to take over. I was transported to the Goddess’s temple, a mental sanctuary I had created as a child—a safe haven based on my mother’s descriptions from one of her stories.But something was different. A powerful presence seemed to accompany me. I sniffed in its direction and realized I wasn’t alone—Aaron was with me.“You shouldn’t be here!” I said sharply, as the veil was lifted from my eyes, allowing me to clearly see the beauty of the man from my visions.He was even more striking than I remembered, exuding power with a single green-gray glance. There wasn’t time to dwell on his presence; the Goddess revealed a vision unlike any I had seen before. Wolves were torn apart, reduced to their primitive instincts—sick, starving, manipulated by others to spark war between species. The Lycan King moved to defend me, and only then did I realize
POV: CALLIEA tear rolled down my face as the image of my mother formed in my mind. I could only envision her features through her descriptions, but her scent was unique—protective and full of love.“Hold on to those memories. Remember the touch.” Aaron continued, and I felt his human hands gently brushing over my fur. “Feel my hand. Try to sense the warmth of my touch beyond your fur.”I raised my muzzle toward the sky, letting the rain wash over my lupine face. I inhaled deeply, allowing myself to be guided by the best memories of my mother—her warm embrace, the way she dried my tears with the back of her hand, the kisses she’d shower on my cheeks, and the tickles on my ribs. The memories began to replace the fear of the pain I anticipated. I was afraid of becoming human again because I knew she would no longer be there to give me comfort.“You’re safe, Callie. It’s just you, your human self, and your wolf standing side by side,” Aaron whispered.Under the heavy rain, pulsating ener
POV: CALLIE“You shouldn’t stroke my mouth like that, little wolf.” Aaron replied playfully.“It’s how I see you.” I answered shyly, ready to pull my hands away, only to feel his hands grasp mine, keeping them in place.“Go on,” the Alpha whispered, guiding my fingers around his eyes, tracing the shape of his eyebrows and down his cheeks.I got onto my knees, leaning closer, letting both hands explore his face. One hand wandered into his hair while the other moved lower, finding what I recognized as his ear.“Callie… It’s hard to control myself when you touch me like this, standing naked in front of me with your breasts so close to my face,” the Alpha growled hoarsely, his restraint evident.I quickly sat back, fumbling around for the towel. Finding it, I covered myself.“I’m sorry!” I blurted out, embarrassed and probably flushed from the awkward situation. “Do you have any clothes for me?”“Hmm… We still need to work on your sense of touch, remember?” he said in a teasing tone. I fe
POV: AARONI thought I would struggle with the transformation of the blind wolf, but to my surprise, her lupine side was so exhausted and willing to yield to her human essence that it didn’t resist the connection. With simplicity, I guided Callie’s mind through her limited perceptions, using touch as her guide and her memory as the key to reclaiming her human physical form.Tears mixed with the raindrops that began to caress her now-exposed skin. I was awestruck by her beauty; I would never have imagined that this blind, mistreated, and skinny wolf could transform into such a stunning woman.Though she needed to gain some weight, I was captivated as I observed her, my gaze softly tracing her body, admiring each delicate and perfectly sculpted curve. Her slightly rounded hips and slim waist created an elegant and alluring silhouette. I noticed a few scars etched into her skin, which only intrigued me more. I felt a compelling urge to trace them, admiring her strength in enduring so muc
POV: CALLIEI shifted into my Lupine form with great difficulty, my lungs straining under the crushing weight of water filling them. The air in the broken memory was dense, suffocating. It felt like a thousand blades were stabbing into my back and ribs.But I knew—I had to survive.I started running, darting beneath Hunter’s legs as he roared in fury, reaching out to grab me. I chased after the torn ribbon as if my life depended on it—because it did.Hunter was relentless, bloodthirsty, whistling coldly as he pursued me.“I’m going to catch you, prey!” he laughed through his fangs.I leaped, grasping the broken ribbon and merging it with the other just as Hunter seized my leg, trying to drag me back.The memories fused together, freezing the world around me. I felt myself being pulled out, yanked back to the starting
POV: CALLIE“Who are you?” I demanded, taking a few steps back from the menacing wolf behind me.“Have you already forgotten your king and father?” Hunter's cold voice rang out, his eyes gleaming with malice. “How am I seeing you here when your carcass is curled up on the ground like trapped prey? Can you see?”There was surprise in his tone.I looked again at the wounded she-wolf on the ground, feeling the ferocity of my beast stir at the sight of her—injured, cowering, trembling, and threatened.Hunter grabbed my hair roughly, yanking me toward him with a sharp breath.“How are you doing this?” he snarled through his fangs.“Don’t touch me!” I growled, my claws extending as I slashed at him the moment he let go. I dropped to my knees, but I felt no impact.Be
POV: AARON“Love?” I murmured upon waking, Callie’s words still echoing in my mind. “How can she say that?”My wolf growled inside my chest, protesting my words.“You can’t be considering these feelings, beast… We know the bond messes with our minds and emotions!” I snarled back. “Even so, I can no longer deny that I want her with us.”Those words seemed to excite my wolf, who leaped eagerly within my mind, pushing me forward with a surge of energy.“Let me out.”“We need to return to the pack, eliminate the impostor pretending to be Callie, figure out how she managed to look exactly like her, and uncover who’s behind this plan,” I growled firmly. “If our enemies are capable of infiltrating us this way—shifting appearances—it means we have a serious problem. W
POV: AARON“No bond?” I clenched my hands nervously. Would that mean no Alpha in my dreams?“I'm afraid we don't have time for training and tests. It's only a matter of time before Nocturnus enters the city,” Lyra said.“But the wolves stopped, afraid to follow us here.” I commented, still in shock.“Even werewolves fear ghosts, especially powerful ones,” Yulli laughed, amused. “But that doesn’t apply to creatures controlled by Nocturnus.”“I…” I bit my lip, nervous. “I don’t want to lose my wolf. She’s part of who I am.”I didn’t want to admit out loud that I wasn’t just afraid of losing my wolf—I also feared never having him in my dreams again. No more feeling his gentle touches, his dominant kisses, and the sinful way he claimed my body. My face
POV: AARON“Some prey think they’re hunters. Sometimes, we have to leave our comfort to hunt down treacherous rats.” Keenan smirked sharply, scraping his claws against the table.“You bastard! Who the hell are you calling a rat?” Jaxon lunged toward him but stopped when Keenan lifted his head, meeting his gaze with icy indifference.“Forget it. If this is what the council wants and the Supreme Alpha’s decision, then take my place, and I’ll take yours.”“You will not!” The Supreme Beta’s threatening roar startled everyone—except me. Watching this power struggle was a pleasure; it allowed me to gauge the strength of my warriors within the pack.“If you can’t even handle simple management tasks and the protection of the Lycan King, what makes you think you’re capable of leading a central city?”
POV: AARONAfter the full moon, the city finally settled. The wolf howls faded, and the stillness of the night took over. Callie fell asleep in my arms, her body completely relaxing. Carefully, I carried her inside, laying her gently on the bed. I sank down beside her, running my fingers tenderly through her hair. I was exhausted, but a crooked smile formed on my lips as I looked at her. Furthermore, I truly wanted to care for and protect this wolf and her child.“Ours…” I corrected myself automatically, furrowing my brow at my own reaction. The word echoed in my mind.I stretched out my hand, hesitating for a moment before placing it on her belly. Leaning in, I tried to listen for the tiny, strong heartbeat inside her. A sudden kick met my touch, and I couldn’t help but smile—a genuine, admiring smile.“You’re already strong, little one. Are you trying to protect your mo
POV: CALLIEAaron stroked my hair while another movie played on the TV. Out of curiosity, I reached out to feel its shape, yawning despite my efforts to resist exhaustion, afraid that the dark god would be waiting for me there.“You know you'll have to sleep at some point,” the Alpha murmured, his voice slightly drowsy. “You don’t have to worry. I’ll be there with you.”“Even so, I’m not ready to face him,” I admitted, tracing my fingers idly across his bare chest, the tips tingling against his warm, smooth skin.“You don’t have to face him, little wolf. Leave the battles to me,” Aaron pressed a lingering kiss to the top of my head.“You’re exhausted too. And I don’t want to depend on anyone when it comes to battle…” I sighed, sitting up in bed. “I need to get stronger for Rigan.”
POV: AARONI asked the cook to make a homemade pizza. Honestly, it had been a while since I had eaten something like that too. It seemed like a great excuse and opportunity for a moment with Callie. I pulled her into my arms, wrinkling my nose at the TV screen, where the movie title stood out: “A Love Beyond Life.”I had never watched romantic movies, not even when past girlfriends asked me to go to the movies. Furthermore, I always preferred horror films… Maybe because I was used to a harsh life filled with battles.“You seem hesitant.” Callie whispered, settling her back against my chest, giving me a tempting view of her bare body. I bit my lips and pulled the sheet over her, knowing that otherwise I wouldn't be able to focus on any movie.“If you want, I can get dressed,” she offered.“And miss the chance to admire you from time to time? Not
POV: CALLIEI felt strange, a latent voracity burning inside my chest. I entered the bathroom, panting, letting out occasional growls, and smirked, feeling oddly pleased.“Wolf, you’re back?” I murmured to my inner beast, who grunted in response. “Did you really have to return like this? We’re trying to avoid the Alpha, not become his.”My wolf protested in my mind, her presence laced with lust, restless within my chest. I felt a significant improvement below my belly, as if she were working to protect our pup with her healing power. The sensation stirred the baby awake, making him kick excitedly, as if he recognized my beast’s return.“Thank you for coming back.” I placed my hand over my chest, clenching it into a fist. “I was afraid without you… Nocturnus reached us in a dream. I fear sleeping.”In my mind, my wolf appr
