Gonzalo was mortified. He knelt there, his body covered in blood. Sofia's blood. She'd taken the fall for him. She'd sacrificed herself to save him. She'd helped him and River all this while. Sheltered them when they had nowhere else to go. And now she was dead...The fake Echo laughed hysterically, staring coldly at Gonzalo. "I had only one of those quivers. Consider yourself lucky that you didn't go out with it. Unfortunately, none of you are leaving here alive."Gonzalo gritted his teeth. He wished he could just rush up to her and rip out her vocal cords. However, no sooner had those words left the rogue Echo's mouth, than when he heard a scream. "Die!" It was River. She spread out her arms, gathering a spell. Then with a clench of both fists, she sent a huge wave of pure magic energy towards the witches.The wave contained her rage. Her pain. Her guilt. Her sorrow. But most of all, it contained the unbridled power of her magic.The wave was all-consuming, as it crashed into the s
The battle for the IronClaw pack finally ended, with the rebellion capturing most of the pack's soldiers and keeping all of them within the pack's house. As for the other soldiers, they believed the rebellion's words about their Alpha being a fake. These soldiers helped with securing the citizens of the pack, maintaining order, and preventing a riot from happening. In the pack house, Gonzalo and the surviving members of the rebellion were gathered. The air was solemn and everyone had a saddened look on their faces. They all knew Sofia one way or the other. A fearless leader. A fierce and decisive force in this rebellion. She would be greatly missed, but right now they had other problems to face."Release us! You traitors!" One of the soldiers snarled, struggling to get himself out of the chains that bound him and his brethren. "You lot ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You're a disgrace to your kind and your pack! The Alpha ought to have your heads on stakes and place them at the o
River walked down the stairs, each step she took resounding around the room. Her eyes were unwavering from the fake Echo, who became tense under her gaze. The soldiers began cursing her, almost instantly. "It's the witch! The one who attacked the Alpha." One of them sneered."By the moon, it is her!""I saw her during the battle. She used her magic to help the rebellion. Traitor!"However, she ignored all those words, her steps never faltering. Just as she entered the room, Gonzalo rushed to her, holding her close to him. She frowned but then her eyes softened when they met with his."Pequena, what're you doing down here? I told you, we'll handle this. You need to rest and regain your strength and your magic." His voice was pleading, as he gazed at River with worry in his eyes. Her resolve faltered, but not for long. She gave Gonzalo a decisive look before speaking. "I'm fine, my love. Besides, I'm not the only one who needs rest. We all do. However, I needed to come here to ensure
The first order of business for River, Gonzalo, and the rest of the rebellion after the fake Echo was imprisoned, was settling into the pack. Rain and the woman left in Old Man Thomas's cabin to watch her were brought to the pack, reuniting parents and daughter. The pack members, however, were solemn. To them, River had forcefully taken the pack under her reign and was an evil witch bent on ruining them. River had to talk sense into them. So, on the day after the battle for the IronClaw pack, she ordered every wolf in the pack to gather together at the town center. Many people were hesitant, some even thinking it was a trap. But with the pack soldiers' help, all the civilians were peacefully rounded up, and guided to the town square.At the town square, all the people began murmuring among themselves, gossiping and trying to guess their fate."I heard that the witch placed the soldiers under her mind control spell, that's why they're suddenly so loyal to her." A man spoke out loud t
Warning: Mature content ahead! River groaned, a soft plea escaping her lips. She trembled under his hold, squirming with each stroke he made on her body. "I want you to... I want you to fuck me!" She finally uttered with a raspy breath, her eyes brimming with a passion that made Gonzalo's insides burn with desire. She didn't have to ask twice. Releasing his grip on her arms, he allowed her to take off his clothes. She did that gladly, savoring the moment as she slowly unbuttoned his shirt, then unzipped his trousers, and then finally brought out his throbbing dick. The way she held it tight made Gonzalo close his eyes, as he groaned lightly. Oh, now she was asking for it. He held her palms gently, before proceeding to make her lie on her back. She heaved heavily under him, her eyes focusing on his. Her eyes were inviting, gleaming with an alluring light that drew him in like a moth to fire. Without any warning, he placed his hands on top of her legs and began massaging
Gonzalo woke up the next morning, turning on the bed to the sound of birds chirping outside. He struggled to open his eyes as the sun's rays fell on his face through the parted curtains, prickling his skin slightly. He reached out to touch the bed, expecting to find River, but she wasn't there. His eyes finally jolted open as he sat up groggily. He looked around the room, but still couldn't find her. His mind went through so many possibilities all at once.Was she upset about their intimate moment last night after Sofia's mourning ceremony? Or maybe she had something important to attend to in the pack... Whatever the reason was, Gonzalo almost let worry consume him until he caught the scent of steamy fresh coffee wafting from outside. He looked at the clock. Eight AM and she was already out of bed drinking coffee?With a sigh, he got out of bed, the sun's rays glimmering on his naked body. He lazily had his bath in the bathroom and then brushed his teeth. After putting on some fres
River~~Sofia's mourning rites were held without any hiccups. When the candles and lanterns were lit by the people and released into the air, it finally dawned on River that her friend was gone. Forever. The feeling that followed was almost surreal. The grief began washing away from her, and what followed was acceptance and something she'd craved and searched for since Sofia's death... Peace. When Gonzalo massaged her and then they had a blissful night filled with pleasure, it was indeed a mood booster. They slept that night holding each other close, forgetting about all their worries.The next morning, she got up early only to be welcomed with several documents and files from the pack. She had to review the security protocols put in place by the fake Echo and ended up finding a lot of loopholes with the patrols around the pack grounds and the woods surrounding the pack. She also made the day of Sofia's death a holiday held in remembrance of the day the IronClaw pack got freedom f
River's anxiety reached a new high as the severity of the vampire's words sank in. The other vampires present nodded in agreement with their brother's statement, their eyes never leaving her, disdain hidden within them. She knew these vampires weren't here to play and meant business. They all exuded so much power, that she doubted if even Gonzalo could take all of them head-on, alone. After a few seconds, she finally spoke again, this time her voice becoming more serious. She wasn't here to play as well. These vampires dared to threaten her pack and she was ready to strike down all of them if it weren't for her respect for the late Lord Draven. "Yes. Lord Driven is indeed, dead." Her tone was emotionless, and so was her expression. However, deep inside, she felt like her heart was bleeding. But she still managed to keep a calm demeanor as she continued speaking. "But believe me when I say, it wasn't my doing. I did not harm him in any way. H– he helped save my daughter..." She paus
The air was filled with noises of music and laughter later that night. Every civilian member of the new Moon claw pack got dressed in their best wears as they swarmed the old Iron claw pack house in their numbers. The pack house itself was filled to the brim with people chattering and laughing among themselves. The large hall which was the venue of the celebration was decorated with d colorful disco light up ahead as a slow jazz music played in the DJ played a soft jazz music. Meanwhile, River was a little nervous as she got dressed with the help of Calantha, Claire and some maids. "Luna, relax, you look great." Claire assured her with a warm smile as she put the finishing touches on her wavy auburn hair. She was seated, facing a mirror, tapping her foot nervously as she looked up at the clock. "He hasn't picked up his phone in an hour. What if something came up?" She paused, her eyes lingering on the shimmering red dress she wore. "Besides, I don't think red is really my color...
The days moved fast again until the day finally came. The day of the celebration for the creation of the new Moon claw pack. River woke up that morning, stretching lazily on her bed. Today was special for three reasons actually. There'd be a full moon tonight and then the celebration for the creation of the pack.Wolves from both sides of the territory would be coming together in the old Iron Claw's pack house to celebrate. The place where it'd all begun…But also, today was the day of the official opening of 'Luna's Delight '. The restaurant had been set for days now, but River wanted a big opening. One that would coincide with a day of celebration.Gonzalo was currently at his side of the pack, preparing some things. They were constructing a new pack house, one that would represent the essence of their new pack while also giving the both of them a chance to stay together again. She already missed her charming Spanish prince, even though they'd last seen the previous morning.She g
ONE WEEK LATER . Things were looking good ever since their declaration for a joint pack. The new pack of 'Moon Claw' observed days of celebrations after the announcement. As for River, well, she finally did something she'd been meaning to do in a while. "Ta da!" She exclaimed excitedly, after taking off the blind folds from Gonzalo and Rain's faces. What stood before them was a large building with only a group floor and a neon sign board that read "Luna's Delight". It was still under construction—some site workers still going around and adding finishing touches, but it was basically done. It was a restaurant. Her very own restaurant situated at the border between old IronClaw and old Moonstone. They both gasped in surprise, looking between her and the building repeatedly. After a while, Gonzalo rushed up to her, lifting her in a hug. "Ugh. Pequena, I'm so happy for you! Your dreams are finally a reality." He blurted excitedly before dropping her to the ground. "I m
Hand in hand, River and Gonzalo walked out of the pack house, trailing behind Claire. As they did, they were greeted by civilians, all showing their respect and gratitude for their Alpha. "Thank you for saving us, Alpha Gonzalo!" "He's a hero. I got to see my son again because of him." A woman muttered to her friend with a grateful tone. "And look, isn't that River of the IronClaw pack?" "Apparently, it's 'Alpha River' now. She rules over her pack now." A man who'd been staying in River's pack provided casually. "What? Since when?" "Who cares? We wouldn't have gotten our pack back without her help too. They're both heroes." A blush crept up her face when she heard those words. She tried ignoring them like Gonzalo, but she just couldn't. Knowing that these people saw her as their hero brought pride to her heart. She was beyond touched. They finally got to the town square, which was packed to the brim with pack members. Men, women, and children from all works of life were gat
An old quote River once read says: "The aftermath of war is not just about rebuilding, but also reconnecting with what we love and stand for". Well, there was a lot of reconnecting and rebuilding to do, and the war wasn't over yet. They still had one more thing to do. They had to reclaim Gonzalo's territory from the rogues. "It's a simple plan. No diversions. No baits. And most of all, we're killing every rogue in sight." River spoke calmly as she drew a circle around a part of a large map where Gonzalo's territory lay. The moonstone pack's citizens have been seeking refuge in the IronClaw pack for a while, courtesy of the fake Echo, but there were still some imprisoned back in the pack by the rogues. Gathered in the dimly lit meeting hall were River and her advisors, which included Old Man Thomas, Gonzalo, Calantha, Claire from the rebellion, and also two other men from the rebellion. They stood around a table, their faces stern with one thing in mind. Victory. "I've sent spies
River woke up the next morning, her body aching like an old woman's. Last night was wild! She and Gonzalo literally had hours of 'naked cuddle sessions ' from dusk till dawn. She turned to look at the clock. Eleven AM! Shit, time goes by fast when you're overrun with pleasure! She tried getting up but only then realized that she was lying on top of Gonzalo's chest, his arms wrapped around her naked body. The man was drained, and she couldn't help feeling bad. Her face flushed with embarrassment when she remembered how she'd repeatedly used magic to increase his vigor and stamina whenever he reached orgasm. It was like having infinite strength, but there was only so much magic could do when it was used to offset the natural balance of a wolf's anatomy. The constant use of magic on both of them had them drained. Would they even be able to do anything today? Just then, Gonzalo turned, but his grasp on her body didn't lessen in the slightest. He blinked awkwardly as his eyes trie
Warning: Mature content The days after the battle at BloodHill were rather peaceful. River and Gonzalo enjoyed that moment of peace, using it to reconnect with themselves and also to spend more time with Rain. Emphasis on the ‘’reconnecting’ though. Their nights had been more steamier than ever, and they had some of the best sex since they took over IronClaw. Good moon goddess, have mercy, if she could just stay all night and all day having sex with her man, she would. But sadly, she had her duties as Alpha to attend to. And it was an unrealistic wish anyway. Unless…...“You want us to do what?” Gonzalo blurted out again when they'd entered their room one night and were about to get freaky. He arched his eyebrows in surprise, looking at her like she'd said the vilest thing known to werewolf, witch, heck even vampire kind. River purred playfully, as her hands went up his chest. “Come on, think about it. If I'm able to use my magic to increase your stamina, we'll be able to go
Warning: Some graphic scenesCalantha was relentless, as she bared her fangs at the rogue wolves, managing to intimidate a lot of them. She jumped down from the elevated area, causing the rogues on the ground to make way. The other four of her brethren also jumped down, snarling viciously at the rogues, but most especially the rogue witches who'd just lost two sisters.River smirked. That was her cue. She'd managed to gather enough magic up to that point and wiggled her fingers, concentrating all of it on her chains. It took some effort, but eventually, the chains fell off like threads, startling the rogue wolves watching over her and Gonzalo.“What the–?” The female rogue who she'd mind-controlled for that brief moment looked at her with bulged eyes and was about to draw out her weapon. However, River was faster as she brought out the two daggers strapped to her thighs, slashing the rogue on the chest first and then on her neck. It was so swift and the rogue was speechless, as she
The cave indeed had a large interior. The ceiling was lined with jagged stalactites, hanging over them like giant icicles and casting eerie shadows on them. The cave was lit up by several fire torches, and also by a large hole carved into the ceiling, which allowed moonlight to glimmer down like a wave, falling directly on a stone altar.The cave was filled with even more rogue wolves and was blossoming with activities. However, it all died down when the others from outside brought in River and Gonzalo. "Brethren!" The old hag raised her staff into the air triumphantly. "Behold, the hybrid Alpha of the IronClaw pack and her mate, the fallen Alpha of the Moonstone pack! The ones responsible for taking our hold on the IronClaw territory."The rogue wolves snarled, throwing a torrent of curses at River and Gonzalo. They dropped them to the ground, forcing her to kneel while Gonzalo lay there, groaning as his face hit the ground. Ignoring their plight, the 'maiden' of the trio of witche
