We stopped near the path of a crystal-clear river, and the current seemed strong. We quenched our thirst by leaning over to drink from the pristine water. Finally, I decided to break the silence with a trembling question:“Are we getting close?” I tried to keep my voice steady, even though my exhaustion was evident.The Alpha assessed me with a sidelong glance before responding, his voice carrying a challenging tone, “Already tired, human? The real journey hasn't even begun yet!”My expression revealed my surprise at his resilience, and I looked at him intrigued, saying, “I don't know how you can maintain this determination, whether in human or wolf form. You're truly superhuman!”He gave an enigmatic smile before explaining, “You confine yourself to your human form and your hybrid form, but both live within you as one. When you deeply understand this and can connect with both, you won't tire easily, no matter the challenge. The strength will be the same, regardless of the form you as
As my mind quieted, I began to perceive an ethereal light in the depths of my consciousness. This is light, white with delicate silver and iridescent tones, gradually intensified, surrounding me with a soft and comforting glow.At that moment, a majestic figure began to appear in my mind—a she-wolf with fur as white as snow and unusual eyes that gleamed with ancient and profound intelligence. The wolf moved gracefully toward me in my mind, and I realized that she was connecting with me in a way that transcended understanding.With burning determination, I opened my eyes and skillfully began my climb, relying only on my claws and the strength flowing through my muscles. My vision was incredibly sharp, allowing me to assess distant dangers and identify secure spots on the rock where I could grip. The Alpha, by my side, watched in admiration, even if he didn't express it in words; his emotions were as transparent to me as mine were to him.It was as if I had established a connection beyo
“So?” Alpha asked. “Have you fed your beast yet?”“I think maybe it's too much; I'm about to explode,” I replied, feeling embarrassed.“Great, then we can start the second part of the training with me!” Alpha said, getting up and heading outside. With a reluctant sigh, I followed him, knowing I wouldn't like whatever he had planned.“So, what are your wicked plans now?” I arched my eyebrow, watching him mark two circles on the ground, spaced apart. “Torture by circle?” I teased, causing him to give me a wry look.“Have you ever fought in your human life?” Lycan crossed his arms, assessing me from top to bottom. “Your muscles, despite being slim, are toned.”“Thank you, I think...” I smiled shyly. “I used to dabble in boxing. Well, before my parents passed away, I loved fighting and athletics.” I sighed, a little frustrated. Harvey nodded.“So, you know how to maintain a fighting stance!” He looked at me sternly, stepping into one of the circles. “The training proposal is simple: We'll
“You didn't hit me, Sophie. Sometimes, you need to release your emotions,” he smiled and proudly admired the fissure that had formed in the ground.“Were you really willing to let me hit you?” I asked, perplexed, while clenching my fists.“I've told you, I enjoy taking a few punches from time to time.” He laughed and approached, running his fingers over my eyes. “You can unleash all your pain and anger on me, Sophie, I can take it. But after that, compose yourself, fight, and don't let your guard down!”“I could have disfigured your face.” I pushed his hands away from my face, frustrated. I didn't know how to explain my reasons, but I didn't want to harm the Lycan King.“Compassion is a weakness,” he reflected, evaluating me. “Not even with me can you have pity, Hybrid!” He returned to his circle and transformed to attack me.“Why are you in wolf form? I didn't bring you into the circle.” I returned to mine, intrigued, assuming a defensive posture.“You knocked me down. Nothing more f
Oliver appeared visibly better since the last time I had seen him, after his mission and the tortures he endured. The mere memory of that dark camp, the fallen wolf bodies, and Harvey being momentarily subdued by the beast were enough to snap me out of my trance.The alpha's snout brought me back to reality, jolting me from my grim recollections.“Is everything okay?” he inquired, gazing at me with analytical eyes. “There's no reason to fear the Beta. Any threat against you is a direct affront to me; he wouldn't dare.”Apparently, my scent of panic had spread, as Oliver, now in his human form, furrowed his brow, and the watchful wolves also directed their gazes my way.“It's nothing,” I murmured, offering a timid smile, feeling embarrassed.“My king,” the Beta respectfully acknowledged.“Beta, why are you in your human form?” the Alpha impatiently growled. All lowered their heads in submission and fear.“I apologize, my Alpha.” Oliver subtly inclined his head and directed his gaze tow
Observing the surroundings, Sophie shuddered at the thought of what was happening there with the enemies.“She didn't survive long,” Beta remarked as he passed by Sophie. “Harry fell for my sister, and he's not known for being kind. It didn't take long for the news to arrive that Helena didn't survive his cruelties.”“I'm so sorry, Oliver!” Tears welled up in Sophie's eyes.“Me too. That's why, hybrid, in response to your question, yes, I am loyal to our Lycan King. He doesn't tolerate injustices, doesn't allow others to come and take what is rightfully ours, and would never trade his wolves away!” The gleam of pride in Oliver's eyes confirmed his admiration for Harvey.Sophie nodded.POV: SOPHIE“This place is eerie,” I commented as I approached the board covered in information about wolves and witches. My attention was drawn to a single highlighted word: “legend.”” Legend of the Twins?” I looked curiously at the Beta, who approached and casually covered the board.“There are countl
“And do you think you need the Goddess to tell you what to feel?” I ran towards Beta to catch up with him, curious. The question seemed to catch him off guard, but he responded with a smile. “Alpha King was right, you're perceptive.” There was a glint of admiration in the blond man's eyes beside me. The gods make choices for us based on the purity of our souls, so there's always a perfect compatibility in their decisions.”“Does this inhibit what you feel for Victoria? What will happen to your relationship if she's not chosen?” I inquired, curious about the dilemma he faced. “It would be a memorable story.” The Beta's faint smile revealed that this would be a painful decision, but he wouldn't dare defy his goddess's wishes.“I understand… Do you think the Moon made the right choice in assigning me to the Alpha?” This doubt gnawed at me, and I needed to know, from the King's right hand, if I was worthy of the title bestowed upon me. Finally, we stopped in front of a cozy cabin. I admir
“In the shower?” I swallowed hard, shivering at his touch. He lifted my chin to his face.“What a mischievous mind, human,” he teased boldly. “Is that what you want? For me to give you a bath?”I tried to push him away, but Harvey was persistent.“That's not what I meant,” I stammered clumsily.“And what did you mean, Sophie?” he whispered, brushing his lips against mine and igniting an inner fire.“I'm tired, Harvey, I didn't mean anything.” I smiled gently, raising a hand to stroke his silky hair. “Can I go rest?”In one swift motion, he lifted me off the ground and threw me over his shoulder, heading up the stairs.“Alpha, I said I didn't need help!” I yelled, squirming and struggling. “Let me go!”He gave me a daring slap on my rear and squeezed it with audacity.“I don't care what you said,” he shrugged, amused. “If you keep struggling, I'll strip your clothes off, spank your lovely behind, and then bite and savor your skin vigorously.”I immediately stopped moving, even holding
“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
