Valen opened the door to his house, gesturing for Irwin to enter first. She hesitated, glancing back at him for a moment before stepping inside. Wooden furniture, clearly handmade, filled the room. A large fireplace crackled warmly in the corner, giving the space a welcoming glow. Yet, despite the warmth, an undercurrent of loneliness and isolation seemed to seep into every crevice.“Make yourself comfortable,” Valen said softly, his voice almost a whisper as he followed her inside and closed the door behind them. He moved with such ease and grace that for a moment, Irwin felt out of place.Irwin walked further into the room, glancing around. Everything in Valen's home appeared to have been crafted with care and purpose. The walls, lined with books and odd trinkets, seemed to tell stories of their own. She turned to face him, her mind swirling with questions. He had rescued her from the hate brooding inside of her, but there was still an aura of mystery surrounding him that Irwin co

The sun filtered through the window, casting soft light across the room as Valen continued sharing parts of himself he had long buried. His voice had dropped lower now, more intimate, as if peeling back layers of armor he had worn for far too long. Irwin sat quietly, absorbing every word. “I was supposed to be the strongest in our pack,” Valen began, his voice carrying the weight of untold pain. His eyes, dark and stormy, seemed to flicker with memories long buried. “But when the time came to prove it, I was cheated. The man who betrayed my parents? He set up the fight.”Irwin’s eyebrows knitted together as she leaned in closer. Her heart clenched, hearing the deep ache behind his words. She had always known Valen as a fighter, but this—this was something far deeper. “How did he cheat?”Valen’s lips curled into a bitter smile, a mixture of anger and sadness flashing across his face. “There was a fight, a test of strength to see who would lead our group. I was the strongest, I was set

Irwin’s heart pounded in her chest as she stood there, her back pressed against the cold stone wall. She had no idea how things had escalated so quickly. Her mind screamed at her to stop, to think about what she was doing, but her body had betrayed her. Every rational thought dissolved into the heat of the moment, and all that mattered was the fire burning between them.The way his lips moved against hers, the way his hands gripped her body like he was afraid she’d vanish—it was intoxicating. She could feel the intensity of his desire, the pent-up passion that neither of them had acknowledged until now. Irwin’s fingers tangled in Valen’s shirt as she pulled him closer, deepening the kiss. His scent, the warmth of his skin, the way his breath mingled with hers—it overwhelmed her senses. Valen’s hands roamed her body, gripping her waist with a possessive strength that sent shivers down her spine. He pressed her tighter against the wall, pinning her there as if afraid she’d slip away fr

The cool evening breeze drifted through the open windows of Qwin’s hut as Dorian stood still, his broad frame stiff with impatience. Cain lingered in the background, a silent presence, watching as Dorian’s frustration grew with each passing second. The crackling fire illuminated the small space, casting long shadows, but even the warmth of the flames couldn’t soothe the tension in the room."Time waits for no one,grandmother,”Dorian began, his voice firm, almost a demand. “It’s late. Tell me something grandmother .”Qwin, seated by the fire, stirred the glowing embers with her iron poker, her gaze fixed on the flames, deep in thought. “There is nothing to tell you because You’re rushing, Dorian,” she said calmly, her tone holding the weight of wisdom accumulated over decades. “A matter of this importance cannot be decided in haste.”“I don’t have time for this,” Dorian growled, pacing across the room, his frustration clear in the heavy thud of his boots against the wooden floor. “They

“Alpha,” Cain said cautiously, his voice cutting through the stillness of the hut.Dorian’s gaze didn’t shift, his eyes fixed on the fire as though it held all the answers to his unspoken questions. His jaw tightened slightly, but he made no move to acknowledge Cain’s call.“I’ve been thinking…” Cain began, his words uncertain.The air felt heavy as Dorian finally turned his head, his piercing gaze locking onto Cain. His face remained expressionless, but the weight of his stare was enough to make Cain falter.Cain swallowed hard, gathering his thoughts before speaking. “I know you don’t want to hear this, but maybe… maybe you should try to bond with her properly like elder qwin adviced.”Dorian’s reaction was immediate. His head snapped up, eyes narrowing with suspicion. “Why would I do that?” he demanded, his voice dripping with disdain.Cain shifted uncomfortably, but he pressed on. “ She’s… kind. She’s someone that you need alpha.”Dorian scoffed, his expression darkening. “its par
