She stumbled through thick undergrowth, the snapping of branches beneath her feet. Her heart raced against her chest; every beat was a reminder of a mission Leo had forced her into. The damp smell of earth filled her nostrils as she struggled to breathe, her mind clouded in fear."Brother, please, I can't do this!”She repeated the words in her head over and over, but they lost their power. She said them loud enough and begged for mercy, but Leo just wouldn't listen. He never listened.Leo was right behind her, his heavy footfalls mirroring hers, while his breaths came in short quips. He was furious, and when Leo got that angry, there was just no reason with him. "Fuck, why do I have a weak sister like you?" His voice was sharp, cutting contemptuously. "I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself to Dad, but you keep screwing it up. Are you that into Maxine, huh?"“N-no." Sarah stammered, choked by her fear. "I just don't want to do it.""Enough of your acting skills!" Leo shouted, grab

Maxine P.O.VThe ringing of the phone cut through the silent room and pulled me out of my thoughts. I reached for the screen, seeing my mother's name glowing on the display. A part of me wanted to avoid it, not to be put back into the tension in my life right now, but I could not do that to her. Swiping to answer, I listened as my mom's all-too-familiar voice greeted me so warmly, "Hello, Maxine,”A small smile tugged my lips despite the storm in my chest. "Mom, how are you?" I replied softly."I'm fine, hon. How does it go there?”I turned to Alph, who lay still sleeping. The gentle rise and fall of his chest were the only movements in the room. His back was to me; it usually was. The sight of him always stirred something in me, something stirring I could not name exactly. Complicated now, after everything that happened."Things are good, Mom. Nothing to be concerned about."Good, good," she said, her voice full of relief. "How's your brother? Alph?"I hesitated, looking at him again

Ador P.O.VThe screen flickered, casting the nearly darkened room in a dim light. My eyes were glued to the news report unfolding before me. A reporter who was still visibly in shock retold the horror events of the night: three college students were found in the woods, bloodied and delirious, with each bearing a jagged bite mark."Three students have been admitted to the hospital in a vicious attack, with suspicion that it could be a wild animal. The authorities are still in search of the creature responsible; however, the students remain in a critical condition. Strange patterns of bites have baffled experts-”I hit pause on the video, leaning closer to the footage of the bite marks. My gut coiled as I realized the distinctive punctures. These weren't random. They were calculated. Deliberate. There was only one kind of being that could make a mark like this.“This isn't right," I growled as my jaw tightened with growing anger. A year of uneasy silence shattered in one moment. I balle

Maxine P.O.V"I told you not to help me earlier." My voice was sharp as I opened the door to our room, stepping inside without waiting for him to respond. The adrenaline from the Annual Hunt was still coursing through my veins, but it wasn't just the hunt that had me on edge-it was *him*. Again."You behave like a child, Maxine. Are we not a team?" Alph followed close on his heels, his tone soft yet firm.I spun around to him, anger busting inside me. "No, we are not a team if you keep babying me. You keep rescuing me, and that is just not right. I did not come here to be rescued every five minutes by you. I came here to learn. To grow.”His brows furrowed, the confident air around him tightening. "I know you're strong, but it was just a little help. Don't make a big deal out of it."I slapped my forehead in disbelief. "*A little help?* You stepped in again when I didn't ask you to. It's like you don't trust me to handle things on my own.He stared at me, his silence slicing through t

"Why are we leaving?" Maxine whispered, her voice heavy with confusion, silent and still in the shadows as they crept towards the back gate. It was 3 a.m., and the night lay still. The guards weren't patrolling the estate this time of night, and the silence around them only seemed to include the weight that hung above.“Shh! We have to be silent," Trevor said, his head flicking round over one shoulder. His usual lightness and vivacity gave way to a weightiness, an importance which unnerved Maxine. Urgency streamed through his very movement, every tensing step of his body.“But tell me why first," Maxine insisted, her frustration evident. She wasn't one to blindly follow without understanding what was happening, especially in the dead of night with no explanation.Alph walked ahead and half-turned, his gaze catching hers in the dim light of the moon. "Just follow me, Maxine," he said, his voice steady but carrying an edge that told Maxine there was no room for argument.Maxine puckered

Alpha Ador P.O.VTension was palpable, as Relon walked confidently towards us, all his features unreadable yet serious. Time seemed to slow in the flash of an instant, and visions danced inside my head-the day he left without a word-the day he saw me talking to Miranda at that coffee shop. I have never seen him that way before. The coldness he put into his silence and Miranda's fury said it all.I would never have pegged him to return.Relon was my beta for some years. The guy made a great friend and confidant, always standing on my side whenever I needed him. He was loyal, dependable, and sharp-- a true leader in my absence. But on the day he left, I came to realize that there was more to him that I didn't know, or at least, the extent of his connection with Miranda. She and I had quite the complicated history, and in many ways, Relon was caught right in the middle of it all without my even realizing it. Now, here he stood before me, as if burdened with the weight of the world upon h

Alpha Ador P.O.VWhen she stepped through the open door, the sight of her alone was enough to thicken the air already stifling in the room. She glanced alternately at me and Relon, clearly marked by the tension between us. A little longer on Relon, then her eyes snapped across to me. I could see it: what had looked like ease on her face before suddenly collapsed into discomfort. But I didn't show any reaction. I'd chosen not to even now."Ador," she said finally, her voice low, but heavy with emotions she tried to keep inside. She stepped closer.I hardened my voice. "Tell me everything. No cut. Leave nothing out." My words were crisp, but I had no choice. Compassion and tolerance had no place now. Not on a day when so much was staked on the balance."Tell him everything, just like how you told me," Relon added, only this time with a tone more mocking than helpful. Miranda did not acknowledge his words; they were too much of a jab.She just sighed, a deep heavy breath as if it were ca

Miranda's P.O.VThe shadows of the forest reach long, and the coolness of the air tickles my skin as I hide behind the trees to watch Alex's house in the distance. Maxine clings tightly to my chest, her small heartbeat steadily skittering in time with my own. How she and the Eclipse Essence had saved her from Alex's ruthless clutches shoots like an unsettling specter in my mind. That power. It was a curse and a blessing at the same time. It saved me, marked me, and now I'm stuck in this chaos that I do not know what to do with myself.I escaped. At a price.Alex, and all his wickedness and greed for power, was only a scrawny wolf—a very pathetic creature whom the thirst for something more had devoured. Thirst for Eclipse Essence had blinded him to everything else. He never loved me; he only needed what I held inside me. Now, I watch from the shadows how silent his house is, home, under the night sky holding his new life - his family.My once-hardened heart, but each time betrayal set
