The scent of blood lingered in the air, thick and unshaken by the cold night breeze. The distant hoot of an owl was the only sound breaking the eerie silence.

Conan stood near the charred remains of a fire his companions and he had set; his grip firm on the hilt of his dagger. His men had searched the perimeter; nothing but shadows and silence.

Yet, something still felt wrong.

Then, he heard some sounds, and saw movements too.

The figure dashed through the trees, the barest rustle of leaves. Footsteps, controlled but purposeful. Someone was coming. Not creeping. Not running.

Just… walking.

Conan’s grip tightened. He thought; fool’s mistake.

No one approached his territory so brazenly unless they wanted to die.

He didn’t hesitate. With a sharp inhale, he lunged into the darkness, his dagger flashing in the moonlight. His instincts guided him; three steps forward, a pivot, a precise slash aimed at the intruder’s throat.

But the stranger moved just as fast.

A hand snapped up,

    (A dark clearing. The scent of damp earth and blood. Raven waits, perched on a fallen log, silver glinting in her fingers. The moonlight filters through the trees, casting long, jagged shadows.)Doyle emerged from the darkness, moving soundlessly, the night wrapping around him like a second skin.“It’s done,” he assured Raven.Raven barely looked up, twirling a silver coin between her fingers. “And?”Doyle exhaled. “They have an intruder. I am guessing you have something to do with it based on the last time.” He enquired“But they have her imprisoned.” Raven's brows furrowed, a flicker of something unreadable crossing her face. Concern? No, impossible. Her expression hardened again. “And the estate?” Raven asked.Doyle leaned against a tree, crossing his arms. “Cove’s doubling security. He’s got Lucas and other lycans scrambling to reinforce his estate. The underground vault still remains the weakest as usual. But from my observations, it sees rotations every two hours, now they’ve a

    Her lungs burned as she pushed forward, every instinct screaming at her to run faster. But she could hear them behind her. The snarls, the pounding of paws against the earth. Panic shot through her veins like fire. Her lungs burned as she sprinted through the trees, her legs screaming in protest. She had no plan, just blind, desperate instinct gushing through her."Run, Lycia! Just run!" she choked out, her voice breaking with desperation.Behind her, the heavy pounding of boots and paws tore through the ground. They were closing in. They were faster. Stronger. They would catch her.No. No, she couldn’t let them.Lycia’s foot caught on an exposed root, twisting violently beneath her. A sharp burst of pain shot up her leg as she crashed to the ground, her palms scraping against the rough earth. The impact knocked the breath from her lungs, leaving her gasping, her body trembling from exhaustion and fear.She forced herself up, her vision blurring as she stumbled forward. But it was to

    Lycia’s breath was shallow as she pressed against the cold stone walls of her prison, her mind racing. Cove stood before her, the dim torchlight flickering across his sharp features, casting shadows that made him look even more menacing. He was too close—too still. And his silence was far worse than any words.Her heartbeat pounded in her ears as she forced herself to hold his gaze. "What do you want from me?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Cove tilted his head slightly, studying her like a puzzle he was slowly piecing together. Then, in one fluid motion, he closed the distance between them, his hand pressing against the wall beside her head. The air shifted, charged, and for a moment, it wasn’t just fear that made her breath hitch."You tell me, thief," he murmured, his voice smooth, dangerous. "Why would someone like you risk everything for a map you claim to know nothing about?"She swallowed hard, her body betraying her with a shiver. "I… I didn’t know its worth. It

    Taking a shaky breath, she decided to tell him the truth; at least part of it."I needed the money," she admitted, her voice quieter now. "I didn’t care about the map or what it meant. I only took the job because Raven said it would pay well. I was desperate."Cove’s expression remained unreadable, but he didn’t interrupt, so she continued."I wanted to get out of Crimson City. I’ve spent my whole life scraping by, running from one bad situation to another. And I had someone to take care of; Jack. He’s sick, dying. I needed the money to help him too."That statement shocked Cove, but it was gone before she could place it."So you risked everything for a man who’s dying?" he asked, his voice lacking its usual sharpness.Lycia nodded. "I couldn’t just leave him to suffer. He’s the only family I have left. I never knew anything about the Bloodmoon Amulet, or why the map was so important. I just needed enough to disappear, to take Jack somewhere safe before it was too late."She met Cove’

    The whispers began before sleep had fully claimed her.Soft. Insidious. A voice neither of this world nor the next.Lycia stirred, but her body was no longer her own. Her feet moved, silent as the shadows, drawn to the unseen call.After what seemed like a long discussion with Cove, she finally retired to what used to be her prison. Sleep pulled her under like an unseen tide, dragging her into darkness.But this was no ordinary slumber.A whisper floated through the air; soft, ethereal, curling around her ears like a lover’s breath. A chill ran down her spine. Then another, layered upon the first, overlapping and weaving together like ghostly fingers brushing against her skin.She shuddered.Lycia’s breath hitched. Something felt wrong. The room seemed colder than before, the silence too absolute. Was she dreaming? Or awake?Then, the whisper changed.More insistent. More urgent.“Move!.” It whispered.Her fingers twitched. Her heart pounded. The air around her felt thick, heavy, char

    Lycia stiffened. “A prophecy? I think you have me mistaken. You see, I am only but a prisoner here. I don’t think I’m the one.”Maya’s gaze darkened, the weight of centuries pressing into her voice. She reached out, gripping Lycia’s shoulders with a quiet urgency that sent a shiver down her spine. “Listen to me, child,” she whispered, her tone raw with unshaken certainty. “You are more than you know; more than what they have told you, more than the blood that runs through your veins. You are destiny woven into flesh, a force the world has tried to silence, but it cannot. It will not.”Her fingers tightened, her eyes burning with an intensity that sent Lycia’s heart pounding. “You were never meant to be ordinary. You were never meant to bow. They will come for you, they will try to break you, but you….” Maya’s voice trembled with a fierce tenderness. “You will rise, child. You will burn brighter than the night they have tried to drown you in.”Lycia swallowed hard, her breath unsteady.

    A few weeks had gone by, yet the memory of what she had experienced with Maya still lingered in Lycia’s mind. It wasn’t just a warning; it was a certainty, and she was sure of it. Something was coming, something far greater than she could comprehend. And if she wasn’t ready, if she couldn’t control the storm brewing inside her, the consequences would be disastrous.But she couldn’t share it. Not with anyone, as of that moment she couldn’t trust anyone.The weight of it pressed down on her, a secret she had to bear alone. No one would understand, not truly. And even if they did, what could they do? This was her fight, her burden as Maya had said.She found herself walking through the vast estate, wandering into the forest. It was much more silent, all she could hear was the rustling of leaves beneath her boots. The moon’s light filtered through the flora canopy, casting silver streaks across the clearing where she trained alone. Every night, she came here, pushing herself, trying to co

    Lycia felt the shift in the moment she walked into the training ground. The air was thick with unspoken tension, pressing down on her like a weight. Conversations quieted as she entered, but the stares remained; lingering, calculating.Raven’s presence still clung to her like a ghost, her touch, her voice, the unsettling promises she had whispered. She could hear the hushed whispers, see the way people turned to each other, speaking just low enough that she couldn’t catch the words. But she didn’t need to. The cautious glances, the wariness in their eyes, told her everything.Raven’s words had already spread like wildfire, poisoning the air around her. Lycia forced herself to move forward, head high, steps steady. She had survived Raven’s games. Now, she had to survive this.“She doesn’t belong here.” The words slithered through the air, hushed yet sharp, spoken by a woman with narrowed eyes and lips pressed into a thin, disapproving line. Her fingers curled around the edge of her cloa

    Lucas walked back into the grand hall, jaw tight and unhappy. He had just come from the garden; where Seth’s voice had wrapped around him like silk. Every word had felt like a caress in disguise. A trap. Now, inside, laughter crashed like waves, wine shimmered; but it all felt distant. Blurred. Because Seth was still in his head. He slid into his seat, fingers curling around the table’s edge like he needed to anchor himself. One breath. Two breath. He was fine. He had to be. Then came the heat. The scent and presence of you know who. Seth. He took the seat beside him, much too close, their knees brushing. “You left in such a rush,” Seth said, voice a velvet blade. Lucas didn’t look at him. His spine stiffened. His face remained forward. He tried to focus. But none of it worked. Not when Seth watched him like a prey, patient and hungry. The hall continued burn bright. Spiced wine floated like temptation. Laughter erupted mostly from Damien, who was already mocking t

    Lycia needed to see more.She brushed past a distracted guard, walking directly to the courtyard. “The whole damn courtyard feels like a theater rehearsal,” she muttered, slipping into the light.She almost numbed into a servant wobbling under a stack of velvet boxes.“Careful with that peasant,” Alpha Damien was said. “That Obsidian Talon alone could bankrupt your bloodline, crafted by Veyron the Elder himself.” He said boastfully, looking at everyone as Alpha Cove walked closely to himLycia arched a brow. “Must be nice to travel with your ego gift-wrapped.”“Well, well,” Damien said, polished boots crunching over the gravel as he spread his arms with theatrical grace. “Still broody. Still stern. Honestly, Cove, I’m starting to think you sleep standing up in a coffin.”He paused dramatically, tilting his head with mock concern.“Cove, you really should try smiling. Or drinking. Or, gods forbid…” he leaned in, voice lowering like a secret brushing Cove’s ear. “Getting laid. You lo

    “Open the gates! Now!” a commanding voice echoed from the estate’s watchtower. “Move those damn carts, you fools!” barked another voice, the commander, his tone sharp with impatience. “Get those horses under control before they crush someone!” Warriors scrambled to clear the path as the carriage convoy rolled in, wheels grinding over cobblestone. "Ehh! That’s Vanor steel on the trim," one of the guards muttered under his breath. "Wait... Is it really him?" "Who?" The guard slapped the back of his companion’s head playfully, a grin tugging at his lips. “Idiot. You don’t know anything, do you? "Naigel, come on! You always hit me. That’s not fair" he called out, his voice gentle but laced with concern. “That’s the Silverstone Pack’s alpha. How do you not recognize him?” He chuckled, shaking his head. "I swear, sometimes I wonder if you're even paying attention." "I thought he never left the North..." Before the conversation could go any further, the commander stepped forwa

    “And maybe they’re right. Maybe you’re right. I’m just a thief. But I do it to survive. To cater for Jack.” Her words sank into him like stone. Cove stepped forward, slow. Measured and Careful. “You know, people fear what they don’t understand,” he said. “You are an outsider. I think that’s pretty normal. And you’re stubborn.” She scoffed bitterly. “Yeah, well. That didn’t get me far, did it?” He sat down on the grass, a few feet away. Not close enough to touch, but close enough to see her clearly in the fading light. They sat in silence, the weight of it not entirely uncomfortable. For a second, the world narrowed to just this: two people who had no business understanding each other—yet somehow, did. Cove studied her face. The bruises under her eyes. The way her lips trembled. She looked like she was falling apart. And it shook him— and deep in his heart for some reason he knew how much he wanted to stop it. He surprised himself by asking, “Do you want to talk about h

    He was shirtless, his body still sweaty from the intense training he was having. His developed muscles flexed, but he welcomed the ache. It kept his mind from wandering, or thinking about the problems he had. Life as an alpha isn't all that easy you know. Being in his garden wasn’t the usual thing for him. But he did not come here to take a walk. The garden was her place—it was quiet. Something about the silence gave him peace of mind. And he needed to clear his mind. Training had been his escape, his way of silencing the chaos swirling in his thoughts, and he didn’t want to do it at the training ground. He wanted to be away from everyone else, away from the drama. Then he heard it. A soft fragile sound that he knew was unusual. It didn't belong to the winds or the trees. It was a sobbing sound. Someone was sobbing. And he wondered who it was. He slowed his steps, brow furrowing as he followed the sound. And there; behind the raspberry bushes was someone, curled in on herse

    "About time," she drawled, crossing her arms. Oric walked in with a smug grin, his hands casually tucked into his pockets. “Had something to take care of,” he said with a shrug, as if that explanation should satisfy her. Morrigana raised an eyebrow, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, what’s this? Did you stop to pick flowers along the way?" Oric smirked, his usual confidence evident. "Spying requires a little finesse, Morrigana, not impatience," he said, his hands still tucked in his pockets. "But I suppose that's a concept only a sentinel could understand." He tilted his head, his face gleaming with mischievous content. Morrigana rolled her eyes. "Spare me the wisdom, Oric. Just tell me what you found before I die of curiosity." He studied her for a moment, as if debating whether to make her wait just to be annoying. Then, with an exaggerated sigh, he relented. "She walks alone every now and then slipping away before dawn. This time she went deeper into the woods than usu

    "The Silver stone Pack arrives in a few days," Alpha Cove said, his voice firm as he unfolded the paper, his eyes scanning the contents quickly. "Alpha Damien is the Alpha of the Silver stone Pack and the Alpha is a strategic player. This isn’t just a simple meeting. This could shift the balance in our favor securing him as an ally standing with us against our enemies; if we handle it corre..." He paused, turning to look at Lucas, who was standing at the table, hands resting on its edge but with his mind clearly elsewhere. "Lucas! We need to be sharp," Cove continued, his tone unwavering. "We can’t afford any mistakes. I need you to coordinate the preparations. Make sure everything is in order before they arrive." Lucas nodded absently, not fully processing the words. His mind kept drifting back to Doyle and the lingering scent he had caught earlier, that faint trace of someone else. The nagging feeling refused to leave him. It clawed at the back of his thoughts, demanding attent

    "You’re shaking," Cassian murmured, his fingers pressing possessively into Doyle’s thigh. Doyle let out a low, breathless chuckle. "You wear me out, you bastard." Cassian smirked, dragging his lips lower, down Doyle’s throat, his collarbone, over the sensitive spots still buzzing from their last round. Doyle arched into him, a whimper slipping free before Cassian pinned him down again. Cassian gripped him tighter, holding him down. "If Lucas catches us…" Doyle laughed, a dark, wicked sound, even as his breath hitched from the aftershocks of their encounter. "Relax." He ran his fingers through Cassian’s damp hair, tugging him into another deep, messy kiss. Cassian groaned into it, biting down on Doyle’s bottom lip before sucking it between his teeth. Doyle shuddered, moaning, but Cassian suddenly pulled away, eyes dark. "You’re playing a dangerous game," he whispered, his hand trailing up behind Doyle’s thigh, spanking his ass just enough to make him gasp again. Doyle licke

    Lycia walked toward the trees behind the open field, intending to take her usual path to the hidden glade where she practiced her powers. The air was calm, the sky a soft shade of blue. But a prickle of unease ran down her spine. She felt eyes on her. Unseen but heavy, like a shadow clinging to her every step. Instead of following her usual route, she turned toward the town, blending into the winding streets, letting the hum of daily life swallow her presence. Perhaps it was paranoia. Or perhaps it was instinct. Then laughter. Light and full of joy, carried by the wind like a song. It made her stop. Something about it felt familiar, like a memory she couldn’t quite reach. Slowly, she turned, her steps drawn toward the sound, toward the warmth of something she didn’t know she had been looking for. The sounds were made by Cubs The cubs rolled and tumbled, their tiny claws kicking up dust. Between playful growls and nips, they muttered in hushed, excited tones. “You’re too slow!”
