Armata / Levi We arrive at the mansion, and as soon as we enter; I turn to her. “I need you to wait for me in the gym. I have something to collect from my bedroom.” I don’t wait for her response, already heading towards the stairs. Once inside my bedroom, the weight of the night’s events crashes down on me. I pull out my phone and dial Alpha Nikolaos’s number. The line rings, and I pace the room, my heart pounding. “Levi,” Alpha Nikolaos’s deep voice comes through. “What’s going on?” I relay the information the Rogue gave me, my voice steady but filled with disbelief. “Alpha Demetrious is trying to marry off his daughter to one of your men. He wants to link his pack to ours through her. The Rogue said it’s all a setup.” There’s a heavy sigh from the other end. “I suspected as much. Demetrious has been trying to strengthen his pack’s alliances. But this... it’s low, even for him.” I lean against the wall, my mind racing. “So it’s true then? He wants one of us to marry Calista?”

Calista As the gym door slams shut behind Levi, leaving me alone in the echoing space, a chilling silence descends. The air is thick with the unsaid, the unexplained, a tension so palpable it’s almost a physical presence in the room. I sink to the floor, my back against a punching bag, feeling its cold, leathery surface against my skin. My heart pounds in my chest, a rapid drumbeat echoing the turmoil churning inside me. I’m left standing there, dazed, the remnants of the kiss still burning on my lips. It was a moment of raw passion, unexpected and unguarded, revealing depths of emotion neither of us was prepared to face. And now, he’s gone, leaving me with a whirlwind of questions and a heart aching with a confusing mix of longing and fear. I touch my lips, a small smile creeping up despite the confusion. But that smile quickly fades. Levi’s harsh words keep echoing in my head. “It’s better if you stay away from me.” It stings, a lot. Just moments ago, we were so close, and n

Armata / LeviAs I stride towards Alpha Demetrious’s office, my steps are heavy, each one echoing the turmoil inside me. The weight of my past, the haunting memories of what I did, they cling to me like shadows, relentless and unyielding. I’m here to confront him, to put an end to this ludicrous idea of me marrying Calista. It’s a madness I can’t partake in, not with the ghosts of my past howling in my ears.I don’t bother knocking. Alpha Demetrious sits behind his desk, his presence commanding as always. His eyes, sharp and calculating, meet mine. “Levi, what brings you here at this hour?” he asks, his voice a deep rumble.I don’t mince words. “Alpha, we need to talk about your plan for me and Calista.” My voice is steady, but inside, I’m a storm of nerves.He leans back, regarding me with a look that’s part scrutiny, part curiosity. “Go on,” he prompts.I don’t waste time with pleasantries. “You can’t be serious about this, Alpha. Me, marrying Calista?” My voice is a mix of incredu

Armata / LeviAs I stand outside Calista’s door, the silence of the hallway is like a tangible barrier separating me from her. The events of the past few days weigh heavily on me, each moment with her a reminder of the chasm that’s opened up between us.I’m her bodyguard, tasked with her safety, but lately, my role feels more like that of a silent watcher, observing her retreat further into a shell I thought she had left behind. The spoiled heiress facade is back, and it’s like watching her slip through my fingers all over again.She’s been avoiding me, ignoring my attempts at conversation, brushing off my presence like I’m nothing more than a shadow. It hurts more than I thought possible. The memory of our kiss, the brief moment of connection we shared, now feels like a distant dream.I replay the events over and over in my mind, trying to understand where I went wrong. Was it something I said? Something I did? Or is this just Calista reverting to who she was before we got to know ea

CalistaAfter the revealing conversation with Levi on the beach, I can’t shake off the feeling of foolishness for jumping to conclusions. His confession about his past and his wife as well as his brother's deceased wife added layers to his character I hadn’t seen before. But his mention of my father piqued my curiosity, tinged with a hint of unease.We arrive home, and without a word, Levi leads me straight to my father’s office. The air is heavy with anticipation and a bit of apprehension as I follow him inside.My father looks up from his desk, his expression serious. “Calista, Levi,” he greets us. “I’m glad you’re here. We have much to discuss.”Levi nods towards me, then addresses my father. “Alpha, it’s time Calista knew about your plans, about what you’ve proposed.”I feel a surge of confusion. “Plans? What are you talking about?”My father’s gaze meets mine, filled with a mixture of affection and solemnity. “What I’m about to say is for your own good, for your safety.”I shift

Armata / LeviI watch Calista walk away, her figure retreating into the distance of the house. The conversation we just had with her father lingers in my mind, a storm of emotions and possibilities. Needing a moment to myself, I head outside to patrol, a routine that offers a semblance of normalcy amid the chaos.Standing under the open sky, I pull out my phone, my thumb hovering over a contact I haven’t reached out to in a long time.The one person who might understand the turmoil I’m feeling. I hesitate, my mind racing with doubts. We haven’t spoken much since... everything happened. I know I shouldn’t bother him, but right now, he’s the only one who might understand.Finally, I dial his number, the familiar ringing echoing in the silent night. When he answers, his voice is laced with surprise. “Levi?”I take a deep breath, trying to steady my voice. “Hey, Liam. Yeah, it’s... it’s been a while, I know.”He laughs, a sound that eases some of the tension in my chest. “You could say t

CalistaTwo days have passed since that conversation with my father and Levi, and the weight of their words still presses heavily on my heart. In need of clarity and space to think, I find myself drawn to the edge of the forest, where the natural world always seems to offer solace.I stop at a secluded spot, away from prying eyes. The transformation is something that always brings me a sense of power and freedom. I close my eyes, feeling the familiar tingling sensation as my body begins to change. My bones shift and reform, my senses heighten, and my skin gives way to a thick, white fur. The transformation is swift, a fluid transition from human to wolf.As my white wolf form takes over, I feel a release from the human complexities that have been burdening me. I take a deep breath, the scents of the forest filling my nostrils, and I begin to run.The ground feels different under my paws, more alive, as I dart through the trees. The wind rushes past me, and I relish in the freedom and

Armata / LeviAs Calista dresses and heads back towards the mansion, a sense of foreboding settles over me. Watching her walk away, a part of me wants to follow, to keep her close. But I know she needs this space, this time to think and decide for herself.I stand there for a moment longer, lost in thought. The simplicity and honesty of our interaction in our wolf forms, it’s a stark contrast to the complexities of our human lives. Out here, in the wild, things are clear, primal. But back there, in the world of duties and expectations, everything is muddled.Turning away from the path she took, I take a deep breath, trying to clear my head. I need to think, to plan. Whatever Calista decides about us, about her father’s proposal, it will change things. And I need to be ready for that.I take out my phone, contemplating calling Liam again. He’s been a grounding presence in the chaos of my emotions. But I decide against it. This is something I need to work through on my own.As I walk ba
