The rogues stood in the shadows, their eyes glinting with malicious intent. Lancelot, the Alpha King, had walked into their trap unknowingly, leaving his pack behind without any guards. They couldn't believe their luck. A wicked smile spread across their faces as they realized their enemy was alone and vulnerable.
Lancelot could sense their presence, his ears perked up and his heart began to race with anticipation. He knew what awaited him, but he couldn't back down. He had made this decision for a reason. If Draco's revelation was true, then he needed to confront Victoria alone and try to mend their broken relationship in order to have a chance at being a father to the daughter he had rejected.The leader of the rogues stepped forward, his voice dripping with mockery. "Not so mighty now, are you, Alpha King?" he taunted, his canines bared in an attempt to intimidate Lancelot.A mischievous smile played on Lancelot's lips as he sauntered lazily away from the rogues. He could sense their eagerness to attack, but he wouldn't give them the satisfaction of seeing him flinch. Just as he had anticipated, one of the rogues lunged towards him, almost catching him off guard. But Lancelot was prepared.His claws extended in a swift and deadly attack, slashing across the rogue's chest. With a graceful dodge, Lancelot managed to evade the rogue's touch. The other rogues witnessed this unexpected counter-attack and leaped towards him, overwhelming him with their numbers.Fury and determination burned in Lancelot's eyes as he fought back. He may not have been the fiercest fighter, but he refused to give up easily. He clawed and nipped at whatever he could reach, refusing to let the rogues have the upper hand."For a man who believes only in himself, so full of himself, you should know that you have made a lot of enemies," the rogue leader sneered amidst the chaos of claws and clashes.A deep growl rumbled in Lancelot's throat. He spared a quick glance at the rogue leader, a mistake that allowed the rogues to attack his exposed side. A surge of pain shot through his body, but it only fueled his determination. In an instant, Lancelot shifted into his majestic black wolf form, his eyes turning coal black. The sight of him, looking like no ordinary wolf, froze everyone in their tracks.Lancelot lunged at the rogue leader, aiming for his throat. With a swift flick of his claws, the rogue fell lifeless onto the forest floor. Without giving them a moment to recover, Lancelot charged at the remaining rogues, taking them down one by one with ruthless efficiency.Returning to his human form, Lancelot's gaze landed on the last rogue standing - the rogue leader. A menacing smile curled on his lips as he approached him with purpose."Your mistake was thinking you could challenge me," he growled, his voice tinged with a mix of triumph and bitterness. The two men charged at each other, teeth and claws flying through the air. Growls and snarls echoed through the forest as they clashed, neither willing to back down.The rogue leader made a swift and unexpected move, catching Lancelot off guard. Lancelot stumbled, clutching his abdomen in pain. But he quickly recovered, evading the rogue leader's next attack and launching a powerful counter-attack of his own. With a swift flick of his paw, he sent the rogue leader crashing to the ground. Lancelot wasted no time and pounced on him, a look of vengeance in his eyes. He gripped the rogue leader's neck, pulling him to his feet and throwing him against a sturdy tree. The sound of bones snapping filled the air as the rogue's life came to an abrupt end.Lancelot's chest heaved heavily as he stood amidst the fallen bodies of his enemies. A bittersweet smile played on his bloodied face, a testament to his hard-fought victory. With a weary sigh, he glanced down at the chunk taken out of his body and reassured himself, "It will heal."Retrieving a clean set of clothes from his bag, Lancelot cleaned himself up and changed. He couldn't enter the human world looking like a savage beast. As he stood at the edge of the forest, ready to go back to where Victoria and their daughter awaited him, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions - pride for his triumph, sorrow for the lives he had taken, and an overwhelming sense of determination to rebuild what he had lost.***Daniel stood at the doorstep of Victoria's room, watching her as she tenderly played with their baby. Thoughts swirled in his mind as he contemplated his next move. He knew that his salary alone wouldn't be enough to support Victoria and their child, and a sense of responsibility gnawed at him. He wanted to provide for them, to ensure they had a stable future.Interrupting the peaceful scene, Daniel walked inside the room, startling Victoria who hadn't even sensed or heard him enter. Her eyes lit up with a warm smile as she greeted him."Hi," she said softly, gratitude evident in her voice.Daniel returned her smile, but behind it was a mix of worry and concern. He couldn't help but notice the sadness in Victoria's eyes, a heaviness that seemed to weigh her down. He knew better than to pry, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity entirely."I was thinking," Daniel began, unsure of how to approach the subject delicately, "you could start looking for a job. It might help to provide for yourself and the baby."Victoria's nodded in agreement, her eyes reflecting the effort she had already been putting into finding a job for herself. She didn't want to burden Daniel any further, grateful for the roof over her head and the care he had provided.Daniel was taken aback by her response. It had only been a short time since she had arrived, yet here she was, already actively searching for job opportunities. He admired her determination, her strength in the face of adversity. His admiration for Victoria grew even more in that moment."I might be able to help with that," Daniel murmured, eager to ease Victoria's worries. He knew of a friend who was looking for a secretary in her company. Although Victoria lacked certificates or credentials, he believed she had potential and would be a valuable asset.A frown crossed Victoria's face as she realized her limitations. Without the proper qualifications, she doubted her chances of securing a job. Yet she nodded slowly, appreciating Daniel's offer and the support he had shown her."Thank you for your help, Daniel," she whispered, touched by his kindness."I'm glad I could help," Daniel replied sincerely, feeling a surge of satisfaction at the thought of assisting Victoria in her journey towards independence. Jobs may come and go, but the bond between them was growing stronger with each passing day.As Daniel left the room, Victoria pondered her dilemma. Her lack of certificates or credentials seemed like an insurmountable obstacle, casting doubt on her ability to secure employment. Yet, she remained hopeful, grateful for the opportunity presented by Daniel. She knew that with determination and a little bit of luck, she just might be able to carve out a better future for herself and her daughter.Victoria took a deep breath, her heart pounding as she stepped through the towering doors of A. U & Co. The grandeur of the building never failed to astound her, each visit an opportunity to immerse herself in a world of possibilities.As a werewolf, Victoria's heightened senses were on full alert, every sound, smell, and sensation captivating her. She approached the receptionist, whose incessant gum chewing grated on her nerves. "Hi, I have an appointment...""Room 56, the office on the left," the receptionist curtly interrupted, barely glancing up.Suppressing her frustration, Victoria mustered a grateful smile before making her way towards Room 56. Butterflies danced in her stomach, a potent mix of nerves and anticipation. This job meant more than just financial security for her; it was an opportunity to prove herself capable of providing not only for herself but also for her precious baby.Pushing open the door, she found herself facing a middle-aged man, whose disheveled hair and

Paired with this form-fitting garment was a vibrant coral-colored blouse, carefully chosen to accentuate her warm complexion with its brilliant hue.

Are you seriously telling me that there's some creature out there actively hunting you down?"Victoria's face contorted with a mix of pain and desperation, her eyes pleading with Daniel to understand.

Chapter 12In the vibrant restaurant, Alpha Lancelot found himself seated at a lively table, ready to savor his meal.

"She must have graced this place before my arrival."Temporarily setting aside his hunger, Lancelot resolved to embark on a quest to locate his cherished Luna. He swiftly scooped up a spoonful of food, nearly inhaling it, and pushed his plate away."I must find her," he declared, determination resonating in his voice.

Chapter 1"The baby is a girl, Alpha," the midwife announced.The air crackled with tension as the piercing cry of a newborn filled the room. There was no way to tell the time amidst the ice and glaciers of Antarctica. The midwives hesitated, unsure of who should take the baby. They stood side by side, their hands trembling. Their lips quivered and they exchanged glances. The Alpha King, his eyes cold and distant, did not bother to look at the midwives or soften his gaze at the sight of his newborn child. Instead, his focus remained on his weak wife, lying on a bed soaked in blood with her legs still spread apart. His Luna.Even without raising her head, she could feel his intense gaze and already knew what he had in mind. Tears blurred her vision as she wondered what the future held for her child. Her thoughts were scattered and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't put them all together. Would her child eve see the light of day? "Bring her to me," he commanded, his voice a l
Chapter 2: The Alpha King's RageThe Alpha King stormed through the corridors of the grand castle, his eyes burning with a fiery rage. His mind flashed back to the fateful day nine months ago when his brother, Draco, had planted a dangerous idea in his head."Such a foolish decision," he muttered to himself. As he marched, he noticed a guard standing just outside his chambers. Irritation consumed him, and he turned to confront the guard."Don't you know how to greet your Alpha?" he growled, causing the guard to drop to his knees in fear. "Did you not see the others? Or should I show you?" His voice deepened, and the guard trembled, unable to control his bladder.Observing the guard's embarrassment, the Alpha King gestured for him to rise. With a sigh of relief mixed with stifled sobs, the guard hurriedly opened the door to the King's chambers. As he turned to express his gratitude, the sound of a skull meeting the wall silenced him forever. The Alpha King had smashed his head against

Lancelot and Draco stood face to face, their eyes locked in a silent battle of wills. The weight of disbelief settled heavily upon the Alpha King, a new emotion that he struggled to process. It was a feeling he hadn't experienced before, and it made him question his own memories. "Who told you this?" Lancelot demanded, his voice laced with a mix of curiosity and frustration. "The clan's wizard," Draco blurted out hurriedly, sensing the impatience in his brother's tone. Lancelot couldn't help but chuckle, though it was tinged with a hint of bitterness. "That he-goat? How many times have I warned you not to trust his words? He's a dim wit!" Draco sighed, his voice trembling slightly. "Our father had a connection with a widow many years ago. He banished her to protect his secret, and she placed a curse on him. The same curse hangs over you as well." Lancelot's laughter died in his throat, replaced by a wave of solemnity. This was serious, not some jest or prank. How could he be payi
Chapter 4: A Revelation UnveiledAs Victoria reluctantly opened her eyes, she was greeted by a horrific sight. Blood surrounded her, staining her bed and the room. Panic surged through her as she desperately searched for her child, but the baby was nowhere to be found. Confusion swirled in her mind as she realized she was back in the delivery room, the presence of the Alpha King looming over her. The stone walls were damaged, allowing the icy wind to mercilessly rush in, carrying with it flakes of cold that were reminiscent of a frozen tempest. Her heart raced as she called out for her daughter."Elaine!" she cried out, her voice filled with desperation, as she threw herself at the door, pounding on it with all her might. She continued to bang on the door until her hands were raw and her skin threatened to bleed. In that moment, a cacophony of mocking laughter filled the air, accompanied by the scent of unfamiliar blood. Suddenly, the Alpha King emerged from a dark corner of the room
