I woke up to whispers echoing inside the cave as something remained motionless at the entrance, hunched over and staring at me firmly, leaning on a staff. I glanced at Harvey, who was still asleep. With a keen sense of smell, I searched for signs of danger in the air, but nothing indicated its presence except for its shadow.“Who are you?” I inquired, my voice reverberating throughout the environment. The Alpha moved slightly but did not wake up, which was extraordinary given his constant state of alertness.“He's exhausted; the beast has been consuming more of him than usual!” A sinister figure, a lady, was now face-to-face with me, responding as she assessed the situation. The ensemble of voices sent shivers down my spine.I growled, making her step back a bit.“Answer immediately, or your life will come to an end!” I roared threateningly, positioning myself in front of the Lycan king as a protective barrier.“Life is intriguing, isn't it? Before, it was he who protected it, and now
“I didn't mean to...” I bit my lip when I found his eyes ablaze.“Let's rest; we'll return early to the pack.” He shrugged and said, “Then we'll resolve this beastly deadlock!”“We'll resolve?” A smile escaped my lips.“Oh, Sophie...” Pulling me aside, Harvey laid me down beside him. “I hope you keep that playfulness when we control the beast.”“Alpha, my beast is hungrier than yours,” I confessed with a laugh; it throbbed, and the heat consuming me was overwhelming. The scent of my arousal filled the air.“Luna, it's impossible for me to restrain myself like this!” The alpha growled, brushing his body against mine. “You're driving me crazy.”“How do you think I feel?” I bit my lip, turned to face him boldly, and took his hands, tracing a dangerous path over my body.“Hybrid...” He warned, raising his hands and gripping my neck, squinting his eyes. “Are you enjoying this?”“What did you surrender to me?” I smiled daringly, making him growl.“I'll make you regret this soon!” Showing hi
“We are not your toys, Demon. Stay away from my alpha, or you'll regret messing with a committed wolf!” I shouted, feeling my chest rise and fall. The emotion was new; something was boiling inside me simultaneously. Insecurity was present, even though she was a demon. That woman was incredibly beautiful, to the point that even my wolf felt mesmerized by her.“Did you hear that, my Luna? She's fiercer than my beast!” The Alpha taunted, seeming to enjoy the situation.Taking a few steps back, she mentioned the beast had changed the Succubus's posture; she seemed to fear the creature.I walked a few steps toward her, circling the seductive, threatening creature.“I didn't come for confrontations, wolves. If I wanted to attack you, we would have already done it.” She smiled, gesturing upwards, where several others, like the Succubus, appeared, laughing playfully.“So, why are you following us?” I stared firmly, watching the alpha sniff around.“You're afraid, seeking safety!” He responded
I immediately headed to our room; it had been a long time since I enjoyed a soothing bath or simply rested. The truth is, I feared sleeping, afraid of being dragged into another session of torture by the shadows. Whenever I closed my eyes, my soul echoed in despair, experiencing that unbearable pain—it was simply overwhelming.I sighed deeply as I locked the door, allowing myself the luxury of sinking into the bathtub filled with fragrant salts. I let myself sink, surrendering to relaxation, while mentally reviewing the Beta's information. Furthermore, I knew the Alpha was right; none of this seemed right. How did Oliver manage to enter such a well-protected labyrinth? Was his entry allowed?I reflected on this, rubbing the skin marked by scars that told stories of every battle since the first encounter with the wolves, since the first glimpse of Harvey, so arrogant back then.“Not that it has changed.” I smiled, shaking my head.At the moment, I felt extremely irritated with him. Was
He lifted my chin and stared at me.“Did you really think you could bargain with the beast? You still think too much like a human, you're too irresponsible and impulsive!” Rising in anger, the Alpha looked at me sideways. “Enjoy your bath!”He stormed out with firm steps.“DARN IT!” I roared, leaving.I changed and decided to go to the house's cellar, grabbing as many drinks as possible. Furthermore, I spent some time drinking, intoxicated, when an idea crossed my mind.I put the bottles in the bags and turned one in my hands, walking out of the pack, where I found the Alpha's guests.“So, which one of you was my mate's lover?” I snarled, making the Succubus raise their heads in my direction.“It's me!” The same Succubus who first met us approached, the beautiful and sensual redhead. “Are these for me?”I lifted the bags with the drinks.“I came to toast, care to join me?” I smiled ironically.“How can I refuse the request of Luna?” She smiled, approaching and leading me into her tent
“Are you always so rude to every woman who appears in your life?” I snarled, rubbing my face against his neck. “You're a very fragrant wolf.”“And you're very drunk!” He smiled. “What were you doing there?”“I wanted to see your lover, to understand.” I sighed, biting the alpha's neck. He stopped walking, sighing before turning back. “Your scent is sweeter than before; I like this scent... I could devour you as if you were a cake!”Laughing, the Alpha opened the door, taking me inside our house and pushing me against the wall, rubbing his body against mine.“This scent is of excitement, Luna, and you are immersed in pure desire, ready to be taken by me!” Growling, he kissed me voraciously, so abruptly that I moaned with excitement, biting my lower lip and sucking afterward. His tongue explored every corner of my mouth, claiming everything for himself. “Hybrid, damn it!”Punching the wall behind my head, I saw him panting, dripping sweat, and leaning his forehead against mine. His warm
“Take your paws off my Luna!” I roared, thundering, regaining control of the situation.“For now, Alpha, I'll settle for that,” the beast retreated in my mind. I sighed, looking at the human sleeping in my arms. I pulled her by the hips, brushing my skin against hers and burying my nose in her silky hair.Sophie shifted in bed, turning towards me, her bright eyes staring at me with a subtle glow, her face uniquely flushed in a way that excited me just to look at it. She was beautiful, and I have remained fascinated by her beauty since I first saw her transform into a hybrid!“Can't sleep?” I whispered, stroking her hair.“The beast...” she commented, still a bit confused. “Was it here?”“No,” I lied, sensing her apprehension. Keeping our gazes, I realized she was looking for some reaction that would give her away.“I felt your beast's fear as if it felt so lonely and then filled!” Sophie rubbed her eyes, opening her mouth. “Was it a dream?”“If it's related to the beast, I believe it
“My noble king...” A middle-aged wolf glanced around before gathering the courage to speak. “We fear that your Alpha's zeal is exclusively focused on protecting the hybrid, possibly at the expense of forgetting your pack.”With skill, I grabbed the wolf by the collar, choking him with one hand while casually scratching the corner of my eye with the free hand. I cast a lazy and arrogant look at everyone in the room, who widened their eyes, astonished and fearful.“Does anyone else agree?” I snarled between my fangs.“My king, I...I didn't mean to disrespect!” The wolf said, exuding a repulsive odor of fear and urine, indicating his cowardice.“Stay away from me, coward!” I roared, and he backed away, almost crawling. “Anyone else doubts my leadership?”Everyone shook their heads in denial.“Great.” I kept my eyes fixed on each one, analyzing their body reactions along with the scents. From the she-wolf who had replaced Suellen, a distinct scent emanated from the others. “You, speak!”I
