He nodded, rising from the ground with determination.“So let's go, we're at the last gate out of this terrible place,” I growled.“It feels like a dream to leave here,” Lambert commented. “What will happen to my soul?”“The Goddess will decide whether to absolve it or if it will be a wandering soul,” I explained.“I wish I had more time on earth to be with my daughters,” Lambert said excitedly, and then I realized what he didn't know. I looked at him over my shoulders, pondering whether to tell him, but I chose to ignore it.As we approached the gate, a thunderous and empowered roar echoed in the surroundings. In front of us, my late father, Walker, emerged from the midst of the sparkling golden dust.“The prodigal son returns,” he snarled sarcastically. “Did you miss me, pup?”“This is your…” Lambert began, but I interrupted.“My father!” I shouted angrily, even the beast within me stirred. “How did you end up here? And how did you become a guardian?”“I am a powerful king, stupid p
POV: SOPHIE“The Lycan King can handle himself; you know the power he possesses and are aware of the strength of his beast,” Elara replied, glancing around. “I just hope his return won't take too long.”“Time inside is different from ours.” The moon elegantly commented in her drawn-out speech. “Probably seconds have passed in purgatory, while we have been waiting here for more than a day since the cursed one's departure.”“Time dilation… I read about it in a book of magic from the witches' clan!” I widened my eyes when a logical thought struck me. “Of course, time in purgatory is slower; it prolongs the suffering.”As I lowered my head, a feeling of sadness enveloped me. I thought about everything my father and, at this moment, the Alpha were facing in that hell.“Goddess, could it be…” I began to speak, but the goddess's piercing gaze made Elara approach, placing her hands over my lips.“No, hybrid, I cannot and will not accelerate time in purgatory so that they suffer less.” The int
Whistling, Harry chuckled hastily as he approached me with a challenging look.“Look at you, so full of courage. But we know your Alpha isn't; we sniffed out your diminished magic!” Harry said arrogantly, moving slowly due to the gust of wind from the storm. “We don't fear your she-wolf!”“You should. You have no idea of her strength. Ask Agatha!” I proclaimed, puffing out my chest proudly and staring at my sister's spirit on the beta's back.“Agatha?” Henry asked curiously, approaching the shield. “You're Agatha.”“Am I?” I smiled arrogantly. “Wolves are truly weak for not noticing the difference.”Both sniffed in my direction; their eyes darkened, highlighting the predatory line. The brothers glanced at each other, growling loudly in anger.“CURSED ONE, you're the cursed twin!” shouted the Blood Moon Alpha. “How did you manage to be exact?”“Magic, foolish wolf!” I shrugged, widening my smile even more. “And that was just a fraction of my power.”“Stop provoking them,” Elara said ov
Despite my inner beast protesting, there was no choice. We were alone, and we would die there if I didn't use the remaining power I had, even if it was forbidden, to free us.“Let's kill her, avoid her claws,” ordered Henry, the Alpha.“Leave her to me!” Harry shouted in fury. “It's what you always wanted, Beta.” I taunted him.Harry lunged toward me, skillfully avoiding my claws by biting into my belly and upper back. I groaned in pain, gasping, realizing the cost of forbidden magic—my life force was being drained!“I won't die here!” I roared, shaking my head and calling to my inner wolf. “We won't die!”Roaring in my mind, I felt her fiercer. Our strength seemed to have increased, along with the magic—both walking hand in hand. I felt tremors throughout my body until my fangs became more prominent.“Look who's irritated the little wolf...” Harry mocked.“Hurry up with this; the hurricane is close!” Henry warned, looking toward the approaching storm.“With pleasure!” Harry's menacin
When darkness enveloped my eyes, a sinister presence seized my legs with sharp claws, dragging me into an endless abyss. I desperately tried to grasp what seemed to be the ground, but in vain; the force pulling me was overwhelming.A single drop of blood resonated upon touching the ground, transforming the floor into a red sea of blood, where my disfigured reflection revealed the battle wounds against the wolves. I was startled to notice a malicious smile hovering over my shoulders, a hand resting and caressing with sinister satisfaction.“Finally, you approach perfection for us!” proclaimed the malevolent being, addressing my reflection.Instinctively, I threw myself backward, crawling away in terror, observing my surroundings.“Who, or what, are you?” I asked amidst the void, without spotting anyone.The entity emerged from the pool of blood, emanating a terrifying presence and an unknown odor, causing intense shivers. My hand seemed to shrink in the face of its manifestation.“I am
“Your fate was sealed even before your conception, child, and contrary to what they say, it's not a curse but a blessing!” Sighing, the being of light held my fists again. “The chains will be your punishment; they are sealed not only in your flesh but also in your soul.”“I don't understand, who chose me? What's the reason?” I cried even more. “Please, help me free my nephew, and I will do whatever you desire. I will be devoted to the ancestors, the moon, and you, destiny. Please, don't let him suffer because of me!”“Despite the afflictions in the child's mind, he does not feel pain; we assure you of that.” Stroking my hair, Destiny said. “However, we cannot intervene in the course of history; even beings like us have rules, and we risk divine punishment.”“Can I take responsibility for these punishments?” I asked, despite my fear of more pain that could be inflicted on me.“Your heart is pure, but a soul could never endure such punishment… Even deities turn to dust after so much suf
I woke up feeling significantly better. Being injured in wolf form, the wounds were practically healed, leaving only a persistent discomfort in the form of an unpleasant slime in the throat, whose repugnant taste lingered.“Are you awake already?” Harvey spoke lazily, growling. His wound had stopped bleeding, but the healing process had peculiarities.“You need to see this; it should have healed by now!” I pointed to the bothered spot, approaching him. “Who or what did this to you?”“You'd be surprised if I told you,” he shrugged.“It must have been hell; the sounds escaping through the crack were terrifying,” I commented, caressing his wound.“Not an interesting place for a stroll,” the Alpha growled. “But it wasn't entirely bad. I caught a glimpse of a fulfilled fetish.”“What do you mean by that?” I snarled, feeling anger take over. The smell easily wafted away, making me clench my fists.“Jealous, my Luna?” He teased, smiling.“Don't be condescending. I'm just curious.” I shrugged
POV: HARVEYI left the house, transforming into my lupine form. I ran so fast that my paws felt like they were burning with each stride. Furthermore, I headed towards the Valley of Stones, where magic mirrors had been erected according to my command. As I began to perceive the curse and the dominance of a beast within me, sharing my body, my mind, and my soul!I stopped, panting and staring at my reflection in front and on the sides of the mirrors.“APPEAR, ACCURSED BEAST!” I roared impatiently.“Alpha… You seem nervous.” The demon laughed. “Why so much hostility?”“You know very well why. What did you want with my Luna?” I demanded, enraged.“Can't you share a toy? Such an ugly attitude for a Lycan king!” Laughing, the beast stopped on the other side of the mirror.“STOP THE GAMES! What did you want by taking over my body during my intimate moment with Luna?” I growled, clenching my fists, my fangs threateningly on display.“You don't seem like the jealous type.” He teased. “I wanted
“With the moon's shackles as a witness and the pack's roar as a guide, I entwine the destinies of the wolf and the Succubus. Sealing shadows, I weave the magical veil that will protect the beast, where the alpha's mind and the essence of the Succubus will merge in an indissoluble pact. May the raised veil be an impenetrable shield, where not even the shadows of temptation dare disturb lupine harmony. So be it, under the moonlight, sealed in eternity.” Years had passed since the last battle against the dark witch, a lapse of time that felt like an eternity without catching a glimpse of my beloved nephew. I stared at the sky tinted with orange hues by the sunset, heralding the imminent night that unfolded to make way for lunar majesty. A sigh escaped my lips as I closed my eyes at the riverbank, chanting a prayer of protection to the ancestors, imploring them to safeguard my descendant wherever his journey might lead him. I wished for him to find peace and love, yearning for a day when
I opened my eyes and surveyed the surroundings. We were in a stunning garden in front of a lake filled with fish, accompanied by ancient songs that filled the air. The pack leader stood, extending his hands to help me up.“Where are we?” I asked, raising my eyebrows, perplexed.“I believe we have entered the afterlife of our ancestors...” he replied, examining the surroundings where only the melodies echoed. “Someone brought our souls here!”“You're right, King Lycan, it was I who summoned you!” We turned in the direction of the voice echoing behind us; it was Phillipa, smiling gently. “Daughter.”She approached to hug me, but I took a step back, standing behind the alpha, who wrinkled his nose and growled at my mother.“I'm sorry... I shouldn't...” Phillipa whispered.“Why did you bring us here?” Harvey inquired firmly, his voice sharp.“Calm down, Lycan. I can assure you that my intentions are genuine,” Phillipa sighed, turning her gaze towards me. “Sophie, please, can you at least
He hurled the silver wolf towards me, and I gripped it tightly, chanting magic to keep our bodies in place. Shadowy hands emerged from the rift, grabbing the beast's paws and pulling with force; it roared, attempting to resist. Harvey grabbed my arms, still with closed eyes:“My essence... the beast!” He fainted again, his almost transparent life thread visible as a line, connecting to the beast.“I understand, Alpha, I understand...” I kissed his forehead, releasing him and allowing the hole to pull me, feeling the force of the rift.The beast held me tightly, grabbing my wrists. “Are you mad, Hybrid?” The beast roared. “You'll be consumed by darkness as soon as you pass through the rift.”I smiled at the creature, which widened its eyes in shock.“I will save both of you, close the rift, and bring Nyxara to be by your side... Now I understand.” I sighed, smiling. “You were never the curse; you were the alpha's essence; you came as a guardian, but the shadows corrupted you before.”
POV: SOPHIEI struggled to keep my eyes open as I watched the sinister creature rise in the air, flying and gliding with the Alpha in its arms. Even in his feral form, my mate seemed tiny in the face of the imposing winged creature that held him aloft. My eyes felt heavy, and I closed them for a moment. Suddenly, a deafening roar made the ground tremble. As I opened my eyes again, I witnessed King Lycan staggering and speaking with difficulty, addressing the witch.“You need to get up, Hybrid...” a voice resonated through the wind. “He won't endure for much longer!”“Harvey...” I whispered, trying to lift my body. I felt magic swirling from head to toe, caressing me gracefully and dispelling some of the drowsiness that afflicted me.The Alpha's roar was thunderous, followed by a silence that seemed to freeze everything around. The smell of rust became almost palpable in the air. I turned in his direction, surprised to see him smiling as charmingly as the first time he teased me. His l
POV: HARVEYWe approached the witch, and Sophie was nearly unconscious. We let out a deafening roar.“Beast, don't hurt her!” I warned the creature, emphasizing the importance of not touching my Luna.“I have no interest in killing her, but the witch... Oh, we'll have fun with her!” roared the beast in my mind, eagerly.In our werewolf form, we were possessed by a fierce demon, thirsty for blood and war. The dark witch shuddered subtly, summoning various creatures of darkness to attack us, in a desperate attempt to stop our advance towards her!“Hold us back! I need time with the hybrid!” shouted the dark witch.“Don't even think about it!” I exclaimed, leaping over the creatures and stopping in front of the she-wolf, who struggled not to completely faint.“Alpha...” Sophie murmured with difficulty.“Don't worry, we'll protect her!” Despite the mixture of voices, she smiled upon realizing that the Beast and I were working together.“If you want my mate, you'll have to face us!”“Ah, s
“Stay alert; we're not alone,” the alpha growled, sniffing the surroundings. I did the same, looking up at the sky and spotting the silhouette of the dark witch, whose laughter echoed shortly after.“Well, well, visitors in our illustrious home…” the dark witch spoke playfully, invading the space with her darkness. Her dull eyes were even more drained, and the skin more deteriorated, with dark veins bulging from her neck.“You look terrible, witch!” taunted the Lycan king.“Cursed wolf, I've never been better... And your son, how is he? Oh, yes, he has become a puppet of our king!” She laughed, provoking a loud growl from me, displaying my fangs. “Oh, Luna, calm down; soon you will join us!”“What do you mean by that?” the Alpha demanded.“As you can see, my shell can no longer contain my powers; I need a new one.” The dark witch amused herself. “And now that the Shadow King has obtained a toy more powerful than you, hybrid, I can use her as I please!”“Over my dead body.” I roared th
“You're so beautiful, human,” he softly growled in my ear. “I always crave you!”I smiled, delicately nibbling his neck in response.“Show me how much you desire...” I teased, defiant.Growling, Harvey captured my breasts, running his tongue over the nipples, alternating between caresses, bites, and whispers. Every contact sent shivers through me; his advances grew more intense, and I wrapped my legs around his hips, deepening the connection. Loud moans echoed with increasing intensity, culminating in a simultaneous climax.“Now we're ready for battle,” the alpha roared in my ear. “Shall we leave now?” I arched my eyebrows. The Lycan king kissed me, supporting his arms beside my neck and staring intensely for a moment.“If we want to rescue Conan, we need to leave... We've healed enough to reach him,” he replied, still close. “Human, if it were up to my desires, our pup would never have suffered. We would be a strong, complete family, and I would never leave from inside you.”“What ar
“Hybrid?” Morgana called my attention, handing me an Orcs necklace and kneeling in front of me. “During the unsuccessful extraction, Elara managed to pull a small fragment of his dark soul, trapping it in the stone. I believe her idea was to save some part of him.”Holding the stone in the palm of my hand, I observed its transparency and the light moving within. I closed my eyes, squeezing them in my hands, hoping to feel a small fragment of his presence.“Don't lose hope!” The reclusive witch stood up, nodding towards Selena, who was screaming in distress. “She needs us.”I nodded, standing up and going to my friend. I sat beside her, enveloping her in my arms in a tight embrace.“I'm so sorry,” I said in a hushed tone, allowing our pain and tears to mix.“Why didn't she step back? Didn't she cast a spell against him?” Selena moved out of my arms to confront me. “Why didn't she defend herself?”“She wanted to get close enough to the pup to extract a fragment of his soul without the S
I stopped, staring into his narrowed eyes, noticing the distress reflected in them. Harvey shared the same anguish, feeling the pain and despair of the pup. He restrained himself, resisting the urge to tear apart the witches who were trying to help us.“Damn it, he'll never trust us again!” I hugged Harvey, tears mixing with mine.“We'll figure this out,” the alpha whispered, caressing my hair.More bolts of power were directed at Conan's body, which was trembling compulsively. The sky darkened even more like a huge shadow was approaching.“Lycan King!” Morgana shouted.“Shit!” the alpha roared, transforming into his lupine form.“What's happening?” I asked, wiping my eyes.“The Dark King has noticed what we're doing; stay alert!” he instructed.Dark laughter echoed in the area, mixed with malevolent whispers. The air became dense, impregnated with a rotten odor, while dark creatures hovered like shadows in the sky and among the mountains. The ground began to shake, as if an earthquak
