“Great!” The Alpha sensually brushed his lips against mine, feeling the warmth of his touch course through my rain-soaked body. He ran his nails along my arm, causing my hair to stand on end.“Why did you call me?” I whispered, still close to his lips.“I will depart for the war against the Crescent Moon tomorrow. I want you to take care of yourself. I received a visit from the dark witch...” He stopped when he noticed the fear reflected in my eyes. “She won't reach you here, Sophie. I've taken measures to ensure that.”“How?” I stammered, frightened. “What if she finds me when you're far away?”“That's why you're becoming stronger, foolish human!” Growling, he pulled my body closer to his. “You'll be able to repel her. Summon me when you feel danger, and I'll come to your protection.”“I hope it's in time before she drains me, or she'll find me on the ground in pieces.” I laughed morbidly.“You should have more confidence in yourself, human!” The Alpha said as he pulled me and made m
I didn't notice the time passing, but Harvey urgently awakened me, insisting that I return to the city of witches. Before leaving, I approached him while he was still undressed and gently caressed his face.“Be careful,” I said seriously, locking my eyes with his. “Don't let your beast overpower you. If possible, have compassion for the innocents in that pack. Lead them like a true leader, and don't become the monster that so many believe you to be.”To my surprise, the Alpha held my hand, bringing it gently to his lips. His smile transformed into something dark and dangerous.“I am a monster, a foolish human,” he said, his voice sounding threatening. “I am a beast that takes pleasure in hunting, and I don't believe there are innocents under the crescent moon.”I resisted, pulling my hand away, but he held it firmly.“You mentioned there were pregnant women there, and I know there are pups. They are innocent!” I retorted, determined.“Sophie,” he whispered, raising his gaze to mine wi
With an ironic smile, I stared at him.“ So, I'm still cursed, aren't I?” I teased, causing him to furrow his brow.“ I can assure you that training with me is more fun than with the old witch. Consider yourself lucky, hybrid!” Denver shrugged and stepped away. “ Follow me.”“ Yes, dear annoying master.” I taunted, laughing.“ You really are annoying!” He chuckled.We proceeded to a different garden, which looked like a labyrinth and was a bit sinister for my taste. Denver led me to the center, where the ground was covered with strange symbols connected by circles.“ Are we about to perform some kind of ritual?” I swallowed hard, staring at the symbols intently.“ Of course, and you'll be the offering!” Denver replied with a mischievous look.“ Well, apparently, I belong to the shadows, so…” I joked, making him relax. It was better to have him as a friend than an enemy, after all, my list of enemies was already too long.“ I'm an expert in out-of-body spells. I'm going to teach you h
“I'm begging you, my sister, do not go down this path. You will regret it and bring darkness upon all of us!” The woman tried to grab my mother's arm, but Philippa cast a spell in her direction, causing her to collide with the nearby wall where I stood.“How?” I heard the woman, now on the ground, cry. “How can you choose a wolf over your family? Your roots?”“You don't understand, Lilith. You've always loved magic more than yourself. You've always been devoted to the ancestral witches, even without as much talent!” Philippa shouted.My mother seemed stern and relentless.“Philippa, I swear, if you continue down this path, I will stop you!” The woman got up from the ground, chanting spells and casting them towards my mother. However, my mother effortlessly dodged them and bound her with a magical rope.“My dear sister, you'll need much more power than that to stop me.” Laughing, Philippa tossed Lilith out of the house.“Mom!” I exclaimed in astonishment.The powerful witch looked arou
POV: HARVEYWe crouched near the first defenses of the Crescent Moon pack. Alpha Harry was notoriously distrustful, even of his own pack. His main defenses were oriented towards the entrance, while the pack occupied the center. However, his personal refuge, a small castle that could be described as egocentric, was situated deeper. After passing through two layers of defenses, we found the town, and then more of his trusted soldiers stretched around.“It's a lunatic!” Beta Oliver growled.“A coward!” I corrected my beta. At that moment, I heard Sophie's voice, filled with sadness and fear. I raised my snout high, closing my eyes to sniff the air, trying to absorb her emotions.“Are you okay, my king?” Oliver asked, sniffing the surroundings for any signs of danger.I opened my predatory eyes, feeling anger coursing through my veins. My inner beast longed to take control and dive into chaos.“For the sake of Elara and her witches, it's better be!” I growled impatiently. “Let's get on wi
Wolves, along with their pups, ran in desperation as the beast approached ruthlessly, knocking down everything in its path, I thought as I watched them. To it, the innocence of the creatures before it didn't matter; they were all prey ready to be hunted. The wolves, attempting to protect their families and their pack, were taken down one by one, their lives brutally taken.“Perhaps the beast desired just that,” I pondered, “wanted me to witness everything that was happening to reinforce who was in control, reminding me that I belonged to it. This filled me with rage.”The creature stopped in front of a house, where several pregnant females with helpless pups sought refuge. It chuckled maliciously, I noted, and as it opened the door, I saw the females in a defensive stance, trying to protect their young. When the beast raised its claws to attack, I heard Sophie's voice echoing in my mind:“PROTECT THEM!” Her voice reverberated, freezing the beast in place. “I BEG YOU, MY ALPHA, DO NOT
I regained consciousness and immediately realized that something was different. Denver was beside me in bed, with a static look filled with distress and concern.I joked, trying to ease the tension: “Assessing which spell you'll use to kill me?” I sat up slowly, but I felt weak and dizzy.“Sophie? You've finally awakened!” he quickly replied.“Finally? How long have I been sleeping?” I asked, surprised.“For... How long do you think?” Denver hesitated for a moment before responding.I looked at him, realizing it was much longer than I had imagined. “For my well-being, just a day... Three days?” I asked curiously.“In reality... It's been a month since you passed out. We were very worried,” he admitted awkwardly.My reaction was one of shock: “A MONTH?” I exclaimed, covering my mouth with my hands.I started coughing with a dry mouth as some memories began to return. Furthermore, I recalled the revelation about my mother's possible dark nature, my father's visit, and the mystery surrou
“You two are enough already,” Elara warned us, rubbing her eyes. She seemed very tired. “Save that energy for the spell. Let's go.”We arrived at the garden and sat around the circle containing the engravings.“How are we going to do this?” I asked, not wanting to reveal my current state.“We need something to lead her to the Alpha,” Denver assessed. “Do you have something he gave you?”I put my hand directly on the necklace I had received on the day of training.“Yes,” I replied.“Great,” he responded. “When we start, you need to focus on the present, on all the memories with the Alpha, and, in the end, chant: Find my mate!”“Is it that simple?” I asked suspiciously.“It's not simple, child,” Elara replied, settling next to me. “I will hold your hand, channeling my magic to assist you. If you can't reach your Alpha, our spirits may be trapped in space-time with no return.”“I...” I said, biting my lip lightly. “I don't want to put you in unnecessary danger, Elara.”“It's my daughter,
“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
