Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, Gray Wolf and Cara had been together for two months. This was perhaps the happiest time in Cara’s once-lonely life.
Each day, Gray Wolf would wake up early to hunt, while Cara stayed home, happily tinkering with her herbs. Sometimes, she brewed poisons; other times, she made tonics to strengthen the body. Occasionally, she experimented with spices to make roasted meat even more delicious. In short, their days were always busy yet filled with joy. Of course, for newly bonded mates, mating was an essential part of their lives. But despite being with Gray Wolf for two months, Cara couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed, they still hadn’t had any pups. She wanted to give birth to many, raising a strong and thriving pack, but so far, there had been no sign of change in her body. Cara knew that Gray Wolf’s bloodline was incredibly noble. Even as his mate, she could still feel the natural dominance he carried, the unmistakable presence of a true king among wolves. And the stronger the bloodline, the harder it was to conceive. Perhaps she and Gray Wolf would have to keep trying for a few more years. She needed to take care of her body, preparing it for the day she could finally carry the offspring of a wolf king. Exactly two months after Gray Wolf arrived at this cave, the second glittering flower on the cliffside began to bloom. Under the pale moonlight, the blood-red petals glowed brilliantly, filling Cara with excitement. Just as she was about to climb up and pick the flower, a strong hand quickly stopped her. “I’ll do it,” Gray Wolf's deep voice carried an undeniable command. Cara obediently withdrew her hand, her gray-green eyes fixed on him, brimming with anticipation. How could Gray Wolf resist such an endearing gaze? He wished he could cross mountains and seas, brave any danger, just to pick the most beautiful flower for Cara. Without hesitation, he leaped up, gripping the rocky surface. Sharp claws extended from his fingertips, hooking into the cracks as he climbed with effortless agility. Cara looked up, her eyes following him. The moonlight bathed his powerful frame, highlighting the raw strength and untamed beauty that made her heart skip a beat. The night breeze carried the scent of wild grass, gently lifting her long hair. Standing at the base of the cliff, watching her mate scale the rocks without hesitation to fetch the flower for her, she felt her heart overflow with pure happiness. Within moments, Gray Wolf had steadied himself on a rocky ledge, reaching out to pick the glittering flower, like a gem forged from blood and moonlight. With practiced ease, he gave it a gentle tug, careful not to disturb the roots or the tiny bud beside it. As the flower left the cliffside, its petals quivered slightly, releasing a sweet, mesmerizing fragrance. With the flower secured, Gray Wolf didn’t climb down the way he had gone up. Instead, he let go, surrendering himself to the free fall. Then, with effortless agility, he flipped midair and landed smoothly on the ground. Cara watched, utterly spellbound, her eyes wide with admiration. She couldn't stop murmuring in awe, a thrilled growl slipping from her throat. “Mate, you’re amazing!” Gray Wolf loved nothing more than Cara’s unwavering admiration. Seeing the excitement in her eyes, he suddenly had the urge to show off even more. So, he leaped into the air again, flipped once more, then landed gracefully right in front of her, holding out the flower. Cara burst into laughter, happily taking it from his hands. Gray Wolf said, “Cara, eat it.” He knew this flower was something special. Last time, it had not only cleansed the poison from his body but also enhanced his werewolf abilities. He couldn’t remember what he had been like before, but somehow, he knew this was the strongest he had ever been. But this time, Cara didn’t eat the flower. Instead, she took it in her hands, held Gray Wolf’s hand, and led him back into the cave. She placed the flower into a small clay pot, poured in fresh spring water, and set it over the fire. As the water began to boil, the crimson hue from the petals slowly spread, turning the liquid into a stunning, translucent red. Then, Cara started adding other ingredients: pieces of root, a few processed nuts, a pinch of ground mineral powder, two dried frog legs, and even a pouch of king cobra venom. Gray Wolf watched, utterly bewildered. After two months together, he had come to understand Cara’s extraordinary abilities. She trusted him completely, never hiding anything from him, so he knew every ingredient had a purpose. It wasn’t just random experimentation. But watching it unfold before his eyes, he still couldn’t quite bring himself to imagine drinking it. Thinking she had made the concoction for herself, he didn’t dwell on it too much, though he couldn’t help but worry for her stomach. The liquid in the pot bubbled and swirled, shifting from a translucent red to a deep, rich crimson. The fresh, herbal fragrance gradually transformed into something thick and metallic, like the scent of fresh blood. Gray Wolf swallowed hard. For some reason, an unsettling restlessness stirred within him. The wolf inside him was howling with hunger, desperate to break free and devour the entire pot. But Gray Wolf had remarkable self-control. He knew this was meant for Cara, so he forced himself to suppress the urge. Compared to him, Cara remained completely calm. The overpowering scent from the potion seemed to hold no allure for her at all. She poured the liquid into a bowl, waited for it to cool slightly, then gently lifted it to Gray Wolf’s lips. Her eyes were filled with warmth, as if she were offering him something truly precious. Gray Wolf was startled. He asked, “Why are you giving this to me? You should drink it.” Cara shook her head and said simply, “Mate, drink.” Even though his instincts craved it, Gray Wolf still refused. He knew this was something precious, and as a male wolf, his natural instinct was to save the best for his mate. But Cara shook her head again. She could sense the immense potential within Gray Wolf’s body, and this potion was meant to awaken that power, to make him even stronger. For her, however, that kind of potential barely existed. The potion wouldn’t do much for her, and drinking it would simply be a waste. Hearing her explanation, Gray Wolf finally gave in. He took the bowl and, without waiting for it to cool, drank it all in one go, completely unfazed by the strange concoction he had once been wary of. *** Author: Both the male and female lead only think of each other. Their love is truly beautiful!As the potion slid down his throat, Gray Wolf felt a surge of heat rushing through his body. His heartbeat pounded faster, every muscle tensing as if an immense power inside him was about to break free. Then, a wave of searing pain hit him. Unable to withstand it, he collapsed to the ground, his handsome face twisting in agony.Cara was worried, but she held her ground, watching without stepping in. Any transformation came with pain. If her Mate could endure this, he would become the strongest wolf in the forest.He had no idea how much time had passed. Just when he thought he would be crushed by the unbearable pain, something inside him shifted. His amber eyes gleamed sharply, his ears picking up even the faintest sounds in the forest. Even his sense of smell became incredibly sharp, catching the subtlest scents lingering in the air.He pressed his hands against the ground, his back arching as his nails grew long and razor-sharp, as lethal as metal. A thick, glossy coat
Cara slowly opened her eyes and realized the warmth beside her was gone. She reached out, touching the animal pelt that still carried Gray Wolf’s scent, and an unsettling emptiness crept into her heart.Every day around this time, Gray Wolf would go out hunting, maybe today was no different. She tried to reassure herself, then sat up, put on her leather dress, and stepped outside.The sun was already high, and the morning mist in Gloomwood Forest had faded. Sunlight filtered through the thick canopy, casting speckled patterns on the ground. Like always, Cara went to the stream to wash her face, carried water to tend to the herbs growing around the cave, then returned inside to busy herself with the plants.But today, she couldn’t focus. Restless, she kept pausing to listen for any sound outside, hoping to hear the familiar footsteps of the one she was waiting for. But she waited, and waited,until noon came, and there was still no sign of Gray Wolf.Cara frowned. He w
Cara knew there was no point in hidding anymore. Even though the thought of facing these unfamiliar wolves terrified her, she forced herself to step forward.In the depths of the forest, a small and hesitant figure appeared, fragile yet breathtaking, like a woodland spirit shrouded in mystery. She looked at the warriors, her expression filled with fear and uncertainty.Werewolves valued strength above all else, but faced with Cara’s delicate beauty, some of the younger warriors felt a possessive hunger stir within them. Even though she was just a weak omega, they wanted to claim her as their own.They didn’t need her to introduce herself. Just one look, and they knew she was a lone omega wolf without a pack, helpless and vulnerable. If they chose to take her right now, use her as they pleased, and then drag her back as a slave, no one would stop them.This was Dark Eclipse territory. She had trespassed into their hunting grounds, and punishment was inevitable.Wi
Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting golden streaks onto the young woman strolling through the ancient forest. Her jet-black hair flowed down her back like a waterfall, swaying gently with each step. Her gray-blue eyes, deep and mysterious, shimmered like fragments of stars scattered across the night sky. The rough animal-hide dress she wore barely covered the graceful curves of her figure.She was Cara, a lone wolf in the depths of Gloomwood Forest. No pack, no family. She had grown up alone in this vast wilderness. From the fragmented memories of her childhood, she only knew her name was Cara. She once had a mother, but her mother had died when she was too young to even remember her face.If she had been part of a pack like other werewolves, she would have been an omega - the weakest rank. She could barely shift a few times a month, and each transformation lasted no more than half an hour. An omega thrown into the wild? There was no doubt, it would be torn apart by th
Cara felt like she was drowning in liquid amber. She had never imagined that eyes could be so captivating. She stared at him, completely mesmerized, until a deep, masculine voice echoed in her mind,‘Mate, who are you?’He wanted to know who she was. And she wanted to know who he was too. So she reached out to him, forming a mind link of her own,‘Who... are you?’It was her first time communicating with someone like this, and her thoughts felt clumsy. But this strange way of speaking fascinated her.Gray Wolf understood her meaning. He froze for a moment, realizing he didn’t know who he was, where he came from, or why he was here. His mind was blank, holding nothing but the beautiful image of her.Then he said, “I am your mate.”Cara tilted her head, looking at him with wide, innocent eyes, like a lost fawn.It took her a long moment before she hesitantly sounded out her words,"M…mate?" Her voice carried confusion.She thought “Mate” was the name of the gray wolf in front of her. So
Gray Wolf woke to find that night had already fallen. He noticed that Cara had been awake for some time, yet she remained curled up against him, nestled in his thick gray fur. Her gaze was distant, as if she were lost in serious thought.As soon as she realized he was awake, Cara sent him a mind link,‘Mate, poisoned.’Gray Wolf’s eyes widened. He didn’t know what had happened to his body, only that he was trapped in his wolf form and unable to shift back. But what puzzled him even more was how Cara knew this when he hadn’t said a word.Curious, he asked her.Cara wasn’t sure how to explain. She had simply sensed it through their mate bond. The feeling was vague, and she could only describe it in the simplest way,‘I can feel it.’The most important thing now was to identify the toxin in Gray Wolf’s body before figuring out how to cure him.Cara sat up and hurried to her shelf of bottles and jars. She grabbed an empty bowl and a knife made from sharpened animal bone, then returned to
Outside the cave, the moon hung high in the sky,full, round, and unusually large. The entire Gloomwood Forest was bathed in a layer of silver light, making everything appear both mysterious and magical.Cara stood at the entrance of her cave, tilting her head back to gaze up at the steep cliffside. About fifteen or sixteen feet above her, a strange plant clung to the rock face. It was a grass-like herb with long, lance-shaped leaves sprouting directly from the stone.But what truly caught her attention was the pair of flowers growing from it. One was still a tightly closed bud, while the other had fully bloomed. The open blossom was as large as the fist of a full-grown werewolf, resembling a lily in shape, except its petals were a deep, blood-red hue.Even more astonishing, under the pale moonlight, the flower shimmered as if sprinkled with stardust, glowing with an ethereal beauty beyond words.‘Mate, bloomed!’ Cara sent an excited mind link to Grey Wolf.She had lived in this cave f
The powerful wolf stood before her like a true king of the wild, and Cara’s eyes lit up with admiration and excitement. She was a child raised by the forest, respecting strength was an instinct woven into her very being.“Mate, amazing!” she gasped in awe.Her words were the greatest reward the Grey Wolf could receive, filling him with deep satisfaction.He let out a low growl as his body began to shift. Silver-gray fur slowly receded into his skin, bones cracked and reshaped, muscles stretched and expanded with raw power. In mere moments, the mighty beast was gone, replaced by a towering man.Under the moonlight, his bare body looked like a masterpiece sculpted from marble, every muscle perfectly carved, radiating primal strength. His bronzed skin shimmered with a silvery glow, making him even more breathtaking. Broad shoulders, a tapered waist, a firm chest, and long, powerful legs.His silver-gray hair was slightly tousled, catching the faint glow of the night, adding to his air of

They spent the whole afternoon working with the pile of stink bug leaves. By the time they were done, the sun was already setting. Cara pulled Gray Wolf toward the stream again to wash up.This wasn’t the same spot where they had caught the moose that morning. This section was upstream, closer to the cave, and much wider.Cara loved soaking in the stream during summer. The cool water refreshed her and eased away the fatigue of a long day.Without hesitation, she slipped off her dress, hung it on a branch by the shore, and jumped straight into the water.Gray Wolf stood by the edge, staring at her bare, flawless body, completely entranced.A splash of water hit him square in the face, snapping him back to reality.‘Mate, come in!’ Cara sent him a mind link, her hands playfully flicking water at him.Gray Wolf chuckled, took off his leather wrap, and jumped in after her.Cara was thrilled. She dove underwater, swam a circle around him, then suddenly surfaced beside him, sending a spray
The night was still long, and their pleasure had only just begun. As two inexperienced wolves tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time, they reveled in the overwhelming joy of intimacy and naturally had no intention of stopping.From the cliffside to the depths of the cave, they clung to each other, instinctively exploring countless positions to make their union even more exhilarating. It wasn’t until dawn approached that Cara, completely spent, nestled into Gray Wolf’s arms and drifted into a deep sleep.The next morning, as sunlight streamed through the leaves, the two of them woke up to a gnawing hunger. After last night’s intense activities, their energy had been drained quickly. Even though they hadn’t gotten enough sleep, their empty stomachs still pulled them from their slumber.Cara sleepily opened her eyes and found herself nestled in a warm embrace. Instead of sitting up, she instinctively snuggled closer against his strong, heat-radiating body. Waking up with someone
The powerful wolf stood before her like a true king of the wild, and Cara’s eyes lit up with admiration and excitement.
