“Did only you see it?” Denver whispered to the witch, discreetly pointing in my direction.“The mark of the reclusive witches!” Elara nodded. “Well, only the Alpha and the Hybrid can go through; the others, let them freeze in the cold!”I was about to object, but the Alpha abruptly cut me off.“Come on, Sophie!” He grabbed my elbow and practically dragged me into the city.“We can't leave them out in this cold!” I protested, frustrated. “Do you want them to die?”The Alpha responded sarcastically, “They're wolves with warm coats. They'll survive until we return.”“You really don't care about anyone, do you?” I shrugged in frustration.He looked at me seriously, as if he wanted to say something, but chose to ignore it.“I don't have time for this,” he growled softly, moving away to stand beside the gray-haired witch.Finally, we arrived at a cozy house, and Denver opened the door to give us space. He stared firmly at the Alpha, who completely ignored him, while I walked past him, raisi
“Come to us, hybrid... Come, we're waiting for you!” The child jumped and swirled her cloak. “Your destiny needs to be sealed; your answers are with us.”“But who are you? Who's waiting for me?” I asked, unable to move as I stared at the child.“We are you, and you are us. We are your ancestors, your roots... Come to us, Sophie.” The child laughed as she dangerously approached me, unsettling my heart. “COME TO THE RECLUSIVE WITCHES!”She shouted at a high pitch, echoing intensely in my ears, almost making them bleed. Time seemed to return to normal, and I watched the Alpha rise in anger and head toward me, uttering words I couldn't hear due to the bleeding in my ears. I placed my hands over my ears, wiping the blood away, while the witch approached. Lycan King was about to bite her when I yelled:“Don't hurt Elara!” I shouted, seeing the Alpha look at me incredulously. “She didn't harm me; it was the forest child... They are calling me.”I read the lips of the elderly witch, who seeme
“DAMN IT!” I roared, recalling the wolf that fell from the cliff. However, my greatest folly was accepting to be his Luna, surrendering my purity to a wolf who saw me only as the satisfaction of his primal instincts.“Maybe I should let the darkness consume me.” I growled and resigned. I entered the room as I planned my next steps. Soon, I would be among the witches, determined to master my power and become strong enough to protect both myself and Conan. I was determined to escape from the Alpha and the darkness that surrounded us.At the door, the Lycan King approached, noticing my tension. “What do you want here?” I snarled, irritated.“You're my Luna, and this room won't be yours anymore. We'll share the bed in my room,” he declared, shrugging as he approached.“Alpha,” I said, turning to face him, feeling his proximity so close that I could feel his warm breath on my face. “I want to revoke my choice!”“That's not possible,” he smiled, reaching out his hands to touch my hair, twir
“Are you already going to rest?” I looked at him, raising an eyebrow as I realized that the night had barely begun.“I had other plans for tonight.” He opened his eyes, smiling mischievously, and I blushed. “The pact made with the witch drained some of our energies; the next steps are crucial. Your training with Elara is of utmost importance, so we need to rest.”“If you were so tired, why didn't you leave me in my room?” I twisted the blanket in my hands. “Why did you bring me to your room?”“Why not?” Harvey pulled me close with force, making me sit next to him. “You have warm skin.”He rubbed his face against my shoulder, causing shivers and pleasurable tingles on my skin. Holding my chin, the Alpha turned my gaze towards him, and I could see the flames burning in his eyes.“You are my Luna, human, whether you like it or not, you belong to me, and I like to keep what's mine close!” Growling, Harvey brushed his lips against mine.“Then you should invite everyone to your house,” I wh
POV: SOPHIEAfter Harvey's strange outbreak, the days passed quickly without any sign of him. On the third night, I gave up on going to his room and stayed in mine, waiting for him to come and explain, but that never happened.I was playing with Conan, who had grown a lot. Time flew by, and my heart ached every time I thought about having to stay away from his innocence and love for months. It was a tough decision but necessary, considering that darkness threatened to engulf him as well, and I wouldn't allow that to happen.When Denver returned with me after healing my ears, he told me about the legend. None of it made sense in my head. If all that were true, then our mother used us as pawns for the shadows. Why would she do that? Her behavior had always been peculiar and hard to understand, but to give away her own daughters?I sighed, watching Conan take his first steps and clapping when he succeeded. On the sixth day, he walked down the long hallway toward the Alpha's office. I let
“I didn't sleep with Suellen; I told you that being a mate to an Alpha is bigger than a human love,” he whispered, brushing his lips against mine. I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, lifting my gaze to meet his.“What was she doing in your office?” I asked, determined.“She brought important reports from the other pack; I needed to know how many females were pregnant,” he replied. I looked intrigued.“Why?” I inquired.“To prepare for the next attack,” he growled.“Why did you distance yourself from me?” I clenched my fists, lowering my head in embarrassment. Sighing, Harvey lifted my chin again, gripping my neck and pulling me into his lips. His kiss was filled with hunger and desire, pushing me against the wall, and he tore my blouse, fervently taking my breasts, sucking on my nipples, and biting the sides. Moaning, I pulled his hair as Harvey held them firmly, pulling them even harder.“Harvey...” I moaned loudly when he took the other breast into his mouth and squeezed t
We arrived in the bathroom, where he skillfully undressed me. We entered the shower, and with gentleness, he applied shampoo from the scalp to the tips, tending to each strand with special care.“Why do you want me to love you?” Breaking the silence, the Alpha asked in a low and almost husky tone. I fell silent, deep in thought. He turned me to face him, pressing me against the shower wall, playing with the foam and spreading it along the contours of my body, causing shivers and making my nipples stand erect.“You desire many things without understanding why you want them,” he said boldly.“I'm your Luna,” I retorted. “Can't I desire to be loved by my Alpha?” He turned me around and pulled me into the hot shower, rinsing my hair. His massages were gentle, making me close my eyes and savor the sensation.“If it meant your destruction, would you still want me to love you?” Harvey whispered in my ear. I turned abruptly to face him, and he came closer, brushing his lips against my neck. H
I witnessed the devastation engulfing the world while our pack was consumed by flames. Conan appeared larger, as if possessed by an insatiable desire for blood and chaos. I saw Harvey lifeless, dragged by his own offspring, who devoured his flesh with ferocity, roaring with pleasure.A firm hand lifted me from the ground as I trembled, tears flooding my eyes and despair taking hold of me. Conan cried even more intensely. The Alpha roared, shaking me to snap me out of the trance.“What happened?” the Alpha inquired, his voice echoing threateningly.“Everyone is doomed,” I murmured in a whisper. “My little brave one will fall victim to the shadows!”I held him tightly, trying to shield him from his impending fate. I began to chant, a mysterious melody echoing in my mind like a divine whisper meant to protect us.“With ancestral words, I invoke this magic into action, a circle of light, under the protection of the Moon Goddess. No harm shall befall him, and I will cast a protective spell
