Snarling, baring my teeth at Wendell. "You want to fight, Wendell?" I snarled. We lunged into battle, teeth bared and claws unsheathed. Wendell was strong and fast, but I was fierce and determined. We attacked each other, exchanging blows and strikes.Rhea's power surged through me, and I used it to my advantage. I leaped at Wendell, knocking him down. He growled and tried to bite me, but I was too quick. As we fought, I noticed Wendell's brother lurking in the shadows. Seizing the opportunity, I attacked him, bringing him down.I pinned him, my sharp claws digging into his flesh. "Cancel your spells, Wendell," I snarled. "Or your brother dies." Wendell hesitated for a moment, then relented. The dark shroud of gas dissipated, and I threw his brother to our men.Aaron looked at me sideways, but the battle was complete now, and he couldn't come to help even if he wanted. "Rory," he shouted. "Stay calm!" I couldn't. I stood at the forefront of the battle, my heart pounding with fear and

"You must learn who you are first, Chloe. Because you are special. You are my own blood and bone and have a great destiny ahead."A shiver ran down my spine. "What destiny?" Selene smiled. "To rule with love, Chloe. Love is the key to everything. It's the only thing that can transcend all boundaries, all planes of existence." I was intrigued. "But how can I find true love?" Selene stroked my cheek. Her fingers were like silk threads. "You have already done that, Chloe. You just haven't realized it yet. Think about the people around you. Think about the ways you would protect and cherish them."Aaron. Ema. Montana. All the people who stayed and perished, solely for love of me. Just because they wanted me to see the light and live in it. I felt warmth spreading through my body. "Thank you, Selene. But what about my powers? I haven't mastered all of them yet." Selene nodded. "Your powers are part of you, Chloe. They are a gift from me, and you must learn to use them wisely. But remember,

I took a step forward, my fangs bared. "You will talk," I said, my voice low and threatening. "Or we'll have to resort to other methods."Alastor's eyes widened in fear as Max grabbed his injured hand. "We can always wash your wounds with saltwater," Max threatened. "Or perhaps let some of the other wolves here do as they please with you."Alastor shuddered in pain as Max tightened his grip. "Okay, okay," he finally yielded. "I'll talk."I took a step forward, eager to hear what Alastor had to say. "Tell us everything you know," I commanded."Wendell has been working with human hunters and witches," Alastor said, his voice low and trembling. "They are planning to exterminate the entire wolf race. He's hiding in Fairbanks, in a small underground laboratory. He's working on a serum that will make the wolf race weak and vulnerable."My blood boiled with anger as I listened to Alastor. "We need to stop him," I said to Max. "I'll talk to Chloe."As Max left to gather the backpack, I turned

She was all alchemy, magic flying at the tips of her fingers, her touch was fire and soul. I pulled her close and kissed her back, letting my tongue dance against hers. Our hands rose to embrace each other, mine firmly entwined around her waist. She sighed my name. Before I realized it, I laid her down on the ground, and my lips were on her nose, eyes closed, forehead and neck, traveling up to the delightful curves of her chest."I love you," I murmured against her neck, lovingly licking the place where I marked her as mine. "I love you today, tomorrow, and in a thousand other universes.""Well, isn't that touching?" The mature and melodious voice sounded as if someone had stabbed a knife into a stone. I gritted my teeth and sat up.Chloe seemed visibly disturbed. "Eleanor! I thought you had retired for the night."She looked from her to me, disapproval and a strange gleam in her eyes. "Yes, but the night was so beautiful that I felt like a walk was in order."Why did she always have

"So, you might want to return this baby to where she belongs." I sighed, exhausted. "What's wrong with these hunters, Kala? How can they separate children from their homes?"Her voice trembled as she replied, "Heartless, that's what they are."I nodded. I had more business to take care of. — "I'll trust you to ensure she gets home safely. Do you know where Eleanor is?""I saw her heading towards the northern edge of the forest, Alpha. She seemed determined to walk by moonlight. She's funny."I growled in frustration. The last thing I wanted to do was wander through the forest now. I wanted to be with Chloe. Cronnos suffered for her, and so did I. But I needed this to happen too. Because what if this was the antidote? What if this could help bring the witches' collective to our side? It would be a significant victory against Wendell.I looked at my clothes. Sure enough, I had the baby's hair on my shirt. Well, the final ingredient, ready.So, I gathered the ingredients and headed to th

He responded with calm determination, his eyes never leaving mine."You're weak, Aaron," I spat. "If you run, it means you're choosing your own life over hers. You're not a true alpha!"Aaron's eyes gleamed, and he growled, "I am a true alpha.""And I will never leave Chloe. She is my mate, my love, my everything."We continued to fight, our bodies colliding and exploding with ferocity. The forest trembled with the strength of our magic and limbs, and the air was thick with the smell of sweat and blood.Suddenly, we were interrupted by a voice, and we both turned to see Chloe standing behind us, her eyes wide with fear and confusion."Stop this! Both of you! This isn't helping anyone!"Aaron and I halted, our eyes still locked on each other. Slowly, we lowered our hands, and the magic dissipated. We stood in silence, panting, our bodies tense and ready to fight.Chloe took a step forward, her eyes moving from me to Aaron and back. "What's happening?" she asked, her voice trembling.Aa

AaronRory dragged me away before I could say anything else to Eleanor, or mistreat her, just to be sure. She waited until we were in our room."What was that?" she growled. "How did you know what we were talking about?"I shuffled my feet. I didn't want her to know that I had mentally connected with her without her consent. But she had been so down in the past few days that I just wanted to know if I could help. She interpreted my silence as the worst."When are you going to stop playing?" she shouted at me, clenching her fists. "Whenever you stop this madness," I retorted. "Are you insane? How can you think that death is the answer? That witch is lying to you."Chloe turned towards the door, ready to storm out in anger. I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me."Please, Rory, please, listen to me.""Just leave me alone."**The annual Iliamna fair was in full swing as I walked through the bustling crowd, still weighed down by the last encounter with Chloe. The aroma of fried doug

The world was bathed in a golden light, and there, at the end of what seemed to be a vast meadow, were my mother and Selene, holding hands. I approached them, my heart full of admiration."Good job." My mother smiled. "We knew you could do it."Selene clapped her hands. "And now, because you believed, you've opened yourself to the greatest gift of all." My eyes gleamed as she handed me a ring with a unique moonstone."Whenever times get tough, dear daughter, plant your lips on this stone," she whispered, placing the ring on my index finger. This will connect your heart to mine through a silvery thread.I was momentarily blinded by the ring's glow, then my mother tenderly kissed my forehead. In this realm, she was very tangible."It's time for you to go."I looked at her eagerly, savoring every little detail. I had to store her in my memory, to cling to every bit of beauty her form contained."I wish I could take you with me." This was the child in me, saying things that reflected the
