POV: AARON
We returned to the pack, and while the wolves were already tending to their wounds, my wolf dragged us toward her, on high alert, compelled by a primal need to protect her. When I reached the room, I saw the guard laughing at the scene, but his expression shifted the moment he noticed my presence. He dropped to his knees.
“My King…” he murmured reverently.
I strode forward in long, purposeful steps, pulling Kemilly back when I realized that Callie had overpowered her and was moments away from taking her life. Pride swelled in my chest at the sight—a raw satisfaction that brought a faint smile to my lips. She wasn’t weak, merely dormant, paralyzed by fear until now.
“That’s enough, little wolf!” I growled, commanding her attention, watching as she stood there furious, visibly struggling to control her inner wolf.
Her arms bore deep cut
POV: CALLIEAaron had a hold over me that I had never experienced before; his power frightened me, yet it also wrapped me in an unparalleled sense of protection. His touch was gentle, even though his words were not always as tender as his hands.I slid my hands between his legs, exploring curiously, while the other followed, trying to figure out what was so rigid and substantial between them. I let out a startled gasp when he pulled me onto his lap and then flipped us over on the bed, his body settling between my legs.My skin burned, flushed from the intimacy of the moment. With a swift motion, Aaron's hand reached my breast, and I let out a soft, breathy whimper as our lips parted.“Answer me!” the Alpha growled, his command making me tremble from head to toe.“I want to feel something other than pain.” I confessed in a whisper, almost pleading, wrapping my arms aroun
POV: CALLIEHe moved gently, keeping the kiss tender as I felt him push in slightly, breaking the barrier. I shuddered at the sharp pain and burning sensation, relaxing as he stroked my hair and deepened the kiss. Moving further inside, Aaron paused periodically, giving me time to adjust to his size. The initial discomfort slowly gave way to desire as his rhythm became more fluid.“So tight,” he growled against my lips, intertwining our fingers. “You look stunning when you blush.”I gasped as his thrusts grew more intense, squeezing his hands tightly. His mouth left mine, traveling to my breasts, sucking them hungrily. I arched my back, tilting my hips toward him, wrapping my legs around his waist.“Callie, you're making it hard to hold back,” he growled, moving from my breasts, our sweaty bodies colliding in an intoxicating rhythm. “Fuck, you're incredible.”
POV: AARONSweet words slipped from Callie’s lips like a whisper.“To be yours.”My wolf roared with ecstasy, consumed by the desire to claim her, to savor her innocence and purity. She was more than I had anticipated—tight, warm, alive, and trembling. With every thrust, her walls clenched around my erection, sending shivers through me. Her intoxicating scent was addictive; I needed more of her constantly. I entered her gently, promising pleasure instead of pain. I had never been this delicate with any female before, but Callie awakened a primal need to protect her.Every sigh, my name whispered with each escaped moan, was an unmatched delight. The need for her consumed me, driving me to carry her to the bath after we both reached our peak, tangling ourselves in the warmth of the water.I bit her with fervor, lingering, until Callie brought me back to my senses, chastising me for not
POV: DANTECallie walked past us with her tail between her legs. Just imagining having to mark her as my Luna made me nauseous. Everything about this defective wolf disgusted me—she was flawed, incomplete, incapable of even shifting into her human form. If only she were less repulsive than her wolf form, perhaps she could be of some use.No one understood why the Alpha kept her alive. However, one day during a hunt, Hunter made it clear that despite his daughter’s insignificance, she came from a rare and unique lineage. Perhaps, with time, her powers would awaken, which would benefit our new God and give us an advantage over our enemies.It never made sense to me. But I started to notice how she reacted when we hunted her. Callie seemed to know exactly where to go, when to dodge, and what was coming next. Everything became clear that cursed night. I saw that useless omega sneaking out of his cell, agitated. I followed him
POV: DANTE“I’m asking you to be wise and patient,” Jaxon replied, his eyes drifting to the limp body in my hands. “And him?”“This omega knew about the attack before it happened. I want to know how!” I lifted Orion’s limp body, then smirked as I realized, “But I think I broke him.” Tossing him to the ground, I smiled darkly as he groaned in pain and dragged himself along.“Beta, there’s a hidden village below the stream, known only to a few in our pack. Meet me there in a few days. I want to know exactly what this plan is,” I commanded, noticing the trail of blood Orion was leaving behind. Picking him up again, I turned my sharp gaze to Jaxon, who watched me with a strange glint in his eye. “And the female, Esmeralda—keep her safe, or you’ll pay the price!”“I thought your mate’s name was; what was it
POV: CALLIEI was walking across a lush green field, surrounded by the delightful aromas of mixed flowers. The sun kissed my skin with gentle caresses, and I closed my eyes, tilting my chin toward the sky, feeling invigorated. The sound of children laughing caught my attention, and I approached, watching as two young wolf pups played, biting and leaping at each other, while a little she-wolf hid in the tall grass, preparing to ambush them.The moment she pounced on them, both yelped in surprise, sparking a playful tussle. A man came into view, effortlessly scooping up two of the children under his arms, while a beautiful woman walked by me, embracing the little girl in a loving hug.“You know you shouldn't scare your brothers!” she gently scolded.“Mom… All they do is play. How will they ever protect us—or themselves—if they don’t take this seriously?” the girl whin
POV: CALLIE“Do we really have blood that ancient?” he asked, standing up with a laugh and looking at his father.“For decades, the Goddess has granted part of her powers to us, the supreme alphas, entrusting us with the wisdom to lead, provide, guide, defend, and protect her people. But beyond that…” the former Alpha began, speaking to his son.“And here I thought the list was already long!” the young wolf replied, rolling his eyes.“It's important, Aaron!” Zephyr growled in admonishment, drawing his attention. “As the future Supreme Alpha, you must always keep this in mind. You are the balancing line for the packs, the supreme order. If a pack fails, it means you are failing as well.”“But doesn't an Alpha only govern one pack?” Aaron asked curiously, sitting beside his father and leaning closer.
POV: CALLIEHis intense words caught me off guard, sending a shock through my body, as if I had been waiting for them my entire life. Tears streamed down my face. Control my gift to become his eyes?“What does that mean?” I asked, still lost and hesitant about the weight and significance of such a promise. Could I trust the Alpha to be my eyes? Or was I just preying, used for the wolves’ hunt?“Exactly what the words say, little wolf. Foresee the future for me; be my vision to keep me steps ahead of my enemies, and I’ll ensure you see the present without missing a single detail,” he growled, rubbing his nose against mine and pulling me to my feet. “Let me show you!”“Where are we going?” I asked, letting go of his hands and taking a few cautious steps back.“You’re still afraid of me,” the Alpha stated with a soft growl. “I&
POV: CALLIE“Are you afraid of him?” Yulli pulled me out of my trance, snapping her fingers to get my attention.“Are you?” I countered, hesitant.“Smart girl!” the witch laughed. “I’m afraid he might lose control of his powers, but overall, Aaron is a good friend. Now it’s your turn.”“I’m afraid of being hurt more than I already have been. I’m not talking about physical pain—those scars heal.” I murmured, gently stroking my belly, uncomfortable with how still Rigan was. “He’s so quiet.”“He’s a clever pup. He knows you need rest,” Yulli said, tapping the tip of my nose, sinking into the right side of the bed. Her hands settled over mine, warming them with her magic. “Just to be sure.”“Thank you.” I gave a soft smile, grate
POV: AARONCallie was clearly unsettled by the doctor’s recommendations. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t slightly amused by the situation, but I knew the weight of it would fall on me. Resisting the pull of a bond that strong was an intense challenge, but I had already hurt her once—and I wouldn’t break my promise not to hurt her again.“When will she be discharged?” I asked the doctor, who kept glancing at the witch sometimes with admiration.“If everything continues to go well, by the end of the day,” he explained, straightening his posture.“That soon?” Callie asked, worried, as she caressed her belly. “I almost lost my baby. Wouldn’t it be safer to stay under observation a little longer? Of course, if the Lycan King allows it.”“Little wolf, all of my resources are yours,” I said, keeping my eye
POV: CALLIE“It’s okay. This is nothing compared to what I’ve been through these past few years,” I said softly.The Lycan seemed irritated by the comment; his scent shifted, becoming more tense.“Alpha, are you alright?”“Yes!” he answered quickly.When the loud sound of my baby’s heartbeat filled the room through the ultrasound, it was a deeply emotional and unique experience. The rhythm was fast and steady, like the gallop of a horse—constant and strong. I could almost see tiny feet running joyfully across an open field—at least, that’s what I hoped to witness when my little king Rigan was born.I noticed the Alpha’s scent shift in subtle waves. There was clear conflict in it, but something more… was he moved?My wolf growled faintly in the back of my mind, as if that moment had stirred her. The Lycan’s wolf responded instantly; Aaron’s eyes now seemed to rest on my skin, burning wherever they landed.“What a beautiful sound,” Aaron murmured. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard a baby’s
POV: CALLIEI woke up in my darkness with my body aching even more than before. The sterile hospital smell of alcohol and medication churned my stomach, while my head throbbed painfully.What had happened?My mind was flooded with memories. I had been with the Alpha in my dreams—that fear, all that blood, my wolf—but I couldn’t find her anywhere.The pain dragged me back into consciousness, and the guttural sound told me we were losing my baby.“Rigan!” I cried out, placing my hand over my belly, unable to lift my body properly.A hand pressed down on my shoulders, keeping me in place. I sniffed toward the source, instantly recognizing the unmistakable woody scent that now saturated the room—his presence expanding protectively around me.“Don’t try to sit up. You just had surgery, little wolf,” Aaron whispered, adjusting me gently. “You scared the hell out of me. Not many wolves can do that to me.”“What happened?” I kept my hands firmly over my stomach, terrified that if I let go, my
POV: AARONI woke up with my eyes wide, fierce, devouring the sterile white room. I ripped the IV out with a sharp tug, feeling a stinging discomfort in my arm.The nurse burst through the door, her eyes widening in horror when she saw me, rushing into the room.“Lycan King, please! You need to rest—you’re still severely injured,” she said, alarmed, as she prepared to treat the puncture site. But when she noticed it had already healed, her face twisted in confusion and shock.“Where is Callie?” I growled threateningly, my imposing figure casting a shadow over the small, trembling nurse.“She… she’s in surgery,” the woman stammered nervously.“What happened? Why does she need surgery?” My eyes narrowed, an intense aura of pressure radiating from me.“Alpha, please control you
POV: DANTE“It was close… That damned bastard.” I leaned against the tree, my body trembling with pain as I punched it hard, my other hand pressing against my open stomach. Every touch felt like a blade slicing through me, my fingers nearly brushing against my own organs.“I will hunt them down, one by one, until the last drop of their blood is spilled. That blind she-wolf—I’ll turn her into a puppet of agony, rip her pup from her belly, and make her drown in her own misery. That arrogant Alpha—I’ll destroy him, devouring his flesh while his soul turns to dust. I will dive into the deepest pits of darkness to bring hell upon those who dared to defy me.”“Oh, really? And how exactly do you plan to do that when you’re already dead?”A feminine voice echoed between the trees, her laughter ringing like a twisted chant as her silhouette emerged fr
POV: AARONI hadn’t realized my human form was just as agile as my Lupine one; perhaps it was due to training in both forms. It took some time before we finally reached the city. Yulli motioned for me to go ahead while she struggled to catch her breath.As I entered the hospital, I let out a deep growl, drawing the attention of a doctor who appeared with a furrowed brow, his gaze shifting from the small unconscious wolf in my arms to the blood dripping onto the floor.“What happened?” He approached quickly. “Bring a stretcher here—now!”I gently laid her on the stretcher the nurses had rushed over, brushing her beautiful black hair away from her face. Even in unconsciousness, Callie’s brows were creased in pain.“I released too much power… I don’t know exactly what happened.” I sighed, defeated. “She’s…&rdquo
POV: CALLIEThe ground trembled under the slow, uneven steps of the Lycan King. He didn’t seem able to walk in a straight line toward me, as if he were staggering with each step. The metallic stench of rust thickened the air, making my stomach churn with nausea. I took a deep breath, fighting against the wave of sickness threatening to consume me.Yulli lay unconscious at my feet, her body radiating heat against my skin. The Alpha’s immense power had taken a heavy toll on us. A warm liquid trickled down my legs. When I touched the area, rubbing my fingers together, I felt the thickness of the fluid. Bringing it closer to my nose, I realized—it was blood.My inner wolf had been eerily silent since the battle in the deep sea; her once-rapid recovery now seemed impossible. Sharp pangs radiated from my womb, and my instincts screamed that something was terribly wrong.“Callie… Did I hurt
POV: AARONI woke up sniffing the air, sharpening my senses to assess how many wolves surrounded us. Unlike the previous attacks, there was one with a stronger scent, more intense—it seemed to be more powerful. I nudged Yulli, the witch, with my paw as she slept lazily, while Callie was already awake but remained still, waiting for me to assess the situation.“Yulli?” I growled, waking her.“What is it? Let me sleep a little longer…” She mumbled, but then I saw her tense as she sensed the dark magic. “Dante is here!”“Is he now?” I grinned between my fangs, sadistic. “Stay behind me.”“We can fight.” Callie protested, earning a deep growl from me.“I said stay behind me. Yulli, protect her if I have to step away!” I ordered, glancing over my broad, fur-covered shoulders.
