I swallowed hard, watching all the wolves leave and the Beta dragging the dead wolf's body out of the room. Harvey walked past me, and I grabbed his arms, holding him. He stopped, furrowing his brow, and stared at me:“What worries you?” He turned to face me, turning my face to his and caressing my chin with his thumb.“I'm going too!” I spoke firmly, letting the flame of fury take over my eyes. “He is my pup too.”“It's dangerous; the witch may manage to trap you there. You know this could be a trap, and I won't risk it!” Harvey pinched the tip of my nose. “Stay here and protect our pack.”“I WILL GO!” I exclaimed in an explosive growl. “You won't stop me from bringing my nephew back. This is the opportunity we have to take down the dark witch.”He sighed, trying to contain the anger of being contradicted.“Human, revenge is not the best path for you.” He pulled me by the hip, pressing our bodies together. “But it would be foolish not to take advantage of your anger to benefit us in
Sinister whispers echoed through the corridors as if the walls themselves were whispering and groaning in pain. Invisible creatures lurked around us, strangely refraining from attacking, sending shivers down my spine. As we advanced, the whispers grew more intense, becoming almost audible but never clear enough to fully comprehend.A shadowy creature, eyeless and with a lipless mouth filled with sharp teeth, let out a sharp scream, causing piercing pain in our sensitive lupine ears. Some wolves crouched, desperately rubbing their paws on their ears, trying to muffle the sound. Looking at them, I noticed blood dripping from their ears, indicating impaired hearing.“Damn it!” I roared in irritation, casting a spell around us. “Silence!”The sound of the creature vanished. The monster raised its hands with long, white fingers, clashing its claws together, producing a sound similar to the clinking of glasses in a toast. Soon, hidden creatures in the darkness began to emerge, creating conf
I smiled between my fangs, running towards her, but she was faster and dodged my strike with her claws, running away. I started to hunt her around the cabin, irritated by her cowardice. Furthermore, I glanced at the Alpha, who was beginning his confrontation with Walker, while Lambert entered the cabin in search of the cub!“Stop running, prey. I'm going to tear you apart!” Brandi exclaimed, seizing the she-wolf's tail and pulling it forcefully backward.She growled in fear, trying to retaliate against the bites. I applied more pressure to my jaw, tearing at the top of her buttocks and perforating her ribs with my claws.“You don't understand, human. I had to do all this… Because of the Alpha, I lost my destined wolf, my mate, and the love of my life!” Victoria's choked tone made me release her and stare.“What are you talking about? Your wolf wanted to take the alpha's place; he was weak; that's why he died!” I snarled, spitting on the ground the blood that was in my mouth.“The Lyca
“No, I killed her!” I took a few steps forward, taking charge of the situation and facing my Luna, who remained still, lacking the courage to own up to her actions.“How could you kill my aunt like that? She was right; you are a heartless-cursed wolf!” Conan spat out the words, rising from the ground and transforming into his wolf form.I was surprised by his control over the transformation. He came at me, trying to bite me. Sophie intervened, receiving the bite on her human arm and falling to the ground with a scream, clutching the wounded area.“Aunt! I didn't mean to hurt you...” Conan returned to human form, crouching in front of his aunt, licking her wound, and holding her arm. “Why did you step in? Why do you defend him?”“I'm fine, my brave one. There's much to be explained and revealed, but not here... It's not safe!” She caressed his face, pulling him into a tight embrace. “Forgive me, my son; forgive me for not protecting you and for not being here. I love you so much!”“Now
POV: SOPHIEIt was a dream to hear his laughter with his mouth full of cake and teary eyes; his lightness and gentleness filled my heart. Conan was here, back home, back in my arms, where I held him tightly, afraid of losing him again!“Aunt, you're doing it again!” He spoke, still laughing.“Doing what?” I raised my eyebrows, amused.“Staring at me, I told you, I'm fine!” Conan rolled his eyes, just like Agatha did when something annoyed her.I laughed at the striking resemblance; my nephew frowned, trying to understand the reason for the amusement.“How about we go to the sacred lake? I need to heal, and you, young man, need a bath.” I poked his nose, which was identical to his father's.“Sacred lake?” He seemed curious and, at the same time, apprehensive. “Why do we have to go there?”“Don't worry, my little brave one, it's just a lake blessed by the Moon Goddess, where the healing power is more intense... Being hybrids, our healing isn't as fast as that of pure wolves.” I explaine
“Conan!” I shouted, bringing his furious gaze to me. “Your father is not your enemy; a lot has happened, and many lies have been told, but we are not your enemies!”“Are you sure?” He squinted, turning his gaze back to King Lycan.“Let him vent this anger...” Harvey spoke lazily. “Attack me, cub!”“What? Are you crazy?” I snarled irritably, still between the two. “You're not going to fight; I won't allow it!”Laughing, the Alpha shook his head from side to side.“Conan, do you hate me?” King Lycan asked casually, but his voice was loaded and sharp.“Because of you, my mother died, as did my aunt Victoria. Yes, I hate you!” The cub retorted to his father.“We have a fighting and training arena at the top of the mountain. As your king, I grant you a challenge where you will face me, unleashing all your hatred upon me.” Harvey spoke, issuing a challenge.“To the death?” My nephew asked, with a sinister glint in his eyes.“Conan!” I stared at him in shock, frightened.“If you kill me, yes
Smiling, he thrust more times, bringing us together to a climax. Sealing our lips, Harvey pulled us back into the water, delicately washing our bodies in silence.“Why accept the challenge?” I inquired, finally breaking the silence.“Conan displays all the traits of an alpha; we respond only to power, and this must be demonstrated,” the Lycan king smiled.“You enjoyed the confrontation, didn't you?” I turned to face him, distancing myself from the hands tending to my hair. I squinted as I analyzed his impressive features. “You felt proud!”“Why wouldn't I? The brat challenged his alpha and father, even knowing that my strength was superior... A bit of rebellion and foolishness, however, proves he's not a coward,” the alpha shrugged.“You can't be serious...” I growled, massaging my temples. “I don't want you two to hate each other, please; we've been through so much!”“I'll never hate my cub; don't entertain those human thoughts,” the alpha roared thunderously as he emerged from the w
A deafening roar echoed from King Lycan's room, indicating that the beast had taken control. I lifted my head from the edge of Conan's bed, alarmed. He held my arms firmly, his fangs exposed, revealing his fear.“It's okay, nothing will happen to you... Stay here!” I tried to reassure him, stroking his face.“Don't go; it's dangerous... He's possessed by the shadow demon!” Conan said anxiously, maintaining his strong grip on my arm, showcasing his remarkable strength.“My brave one, you need to trust me... Not to brag, but I'm an extremely powerful witch, and the beast is nothing compared to me!” I winked at him, adopting a more casual tone. “Stay here; at the slightest sign of danger, run and hide; mask your scent... Can you do that?”He nodded, biting his lips—a habit I also had when nervous.“That's my boy.” I poked his nose as another crash echoed from my companion's room, indicating more destruction.I stood up, left the room, and closed the door. Furthermore, I sighed and walked
“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
