We returned to our pack, and as we approached, the Beta came to meet us. His expression carried a clear exhaustion, as if he had significantly slimmed down in recent times, and something in the air felt heavy. Concerned, I stared at him until Victoria approached, assessing me disdainfully.“It's been a while, Hybrid!” she said, measuring me with indifference.“Hello, Victoria,” I replied, keeping my head held high. “Please bring Conan; I miss my little one terribly.”Looking at the Alpha, who nodded, Victoria withdrew to fetch my nephew. The alpha growled impatiently.“You look terrible, Beta,” he exclaimed. “Come on, update me!”“Since our confrontation with the Crescent Moons, their attacks on the pack and hunters have been constant,” explained Oliver, growling irritably. “We've had some casualties; they're using dark magic.”“Dark magic?” I interjected in the conversation. “Does that mean…”“The dark, which is supporting them!” roared the Lycan King, enraged. “It will be a pleasure
“Witch!” I spoke through my fangs, carried abruptly by the urgency of the situation. “Protect our pack with your lives. Leave the alpha and the shadows to me!”Everyone agreed and departed. We pursued the wretches, and upon reaching the city center, chaos had already taken hold. Wolves with controlled minds roamed, while my inner beast smiled, amused, through my eyes, enjoying the chaos's flame.“SO MUCH FRESH MEAT!” echoed the beast's voice in my mind. I sniffed Alpha Caleb and stealthily entered my meeting dome. While the witch spread her laughter and whispers through the city, chaos intensified.“This, children of chaos… Succumb to the darkness!” the witch spoke with amusement, strangely ignoring the hybrid.“Sophie…” I growled softly as dark hands pulled at my paws, trying to drag me to the witch.“Well, well… Hello, cursed wolf!” grinned the dark witch.“You'll regret attacking my pack,” I roared, digging my claws into the shadows that released me and stepping back. “Did you come
The Alpha lay unconscious; I had never seen him in that position, so wounded and weakened. Was the scent of his beast not reaching me? Had the monster abandoned him?My heart pounded intensely in my chest, Conan. Had someone protected him? Where was he? I needed to go back and find him. I couldn't sense him in the pack; I couldn't catch his scent. Everything reeked of blood, decay, and despair. My she-wolf sent me warning signals; her restlessness consumed my emotions!I transformed into a wolf, glancing at the resting Lycan. I was ready to leave when a roar caught me off guard.“ Don't you dare go there!” the Alpha bellowed, rising angrily.“Harvey… We need to find Conan!” I spoke almost pleadingly, a desperate knot forming in my throat. “ Something is not right about all this; I don't feel him anymore.”My eyes welled up; the Alpha stood there analyzing me until he transformed into a human. As he sighed and looked at me, I realized what had happened.“NO! NO, I DON'T ACCEPT THIS…” I
“How can you rest knowing what they've done?” I clenched my fists.“I focus on my revenge,” shrugged the Alpha, pulling me close to his body. “I envision in detail what I will do to Caleb and the witch.”“What's your plan?” I raised my eyebrows, staring at him firmly, anger consuming me.Growling softly, the Lycan brushed his lips against mine, running his hands down my back and moving over my shoulders until he reached my chin, lifting my head even higher toward him.“You will paralyze Caleb and break his bones with the pressure of your magic.” Harvey smiled. “Then, I will tear him apart with my claws, limb by limb, very slowly, making him scream in despair!”“That seems little compared to the pain I feel.” I sighed sadly.“Human, we will torment him little by little every day.” The alpha's voice was diabolical, his delight in cruelty evident.“And the witch?” I ignored his sadistic eyes.“She, unfortunately, is too dangerous to play with; we'll have to be precise in the attack to br
“He's lying!” A voice echoed intensely through the room, jolting me awake. Standing at the door, Agatha wore a stern expression.“Who's lying, the Alpha?” I arched my eyebrows, pulling my arm away from my companion, who grumbled, squeezing me tighter in his lazy embrace. His simple touch sent shivers down my spine.I bit my lip, shifting my gaze to my sister, who approached with a sinister expression.“He's irresistible and charming, but don't be fooled... It's all tricks!” She spoke, staring at him, revealing sadness in her eyes.“You still miss him!” I concluded, sighing. “You still love him.”Agatha widened her eyes and, analyzing me, smiled weakly.“That's the most dangerous power he possesses... Make us love, only to destroy us later!” She stepped back, stopping at the door and speaking over her shoulder. “Don't be fooled, my sister, he will hurt you and destroy you.”Growling, the Alpha woke up, sitting up and staring at me while sniffing the air.“Agatha!” He roared impatiently
We approached the wolf pack stealthily, shrouded in sinister shadows, where distorted whispers echoed, sending shivers through our fur. Malevolent shadows danced around us, toying with the fragility of our minds. I swallowed hard as I witnessed the silent passage of a black wolf among the shadows of the houses, its eyes staring at me with an unsettling familiarity, as if the entity before me shared similarities with my own father.I approached the alpha, brushing our fur together, and he directed his penetrating gaze towards me.“Fear not the darkness; it is the darkness that should fear us!” Lycan, the alpha, growled, whispering words that echoed with the promise of renewed confidence.The wolves seemed to have detected our presence, their paws making an unmistakable sound as they scraped the ground while running toward us. The ground trembled under the approaching pack, red eyes gleaming, and fangs dripping saliva as if they were rabid beasts.“There are many...” One of the wolves c
“SOPHIE... NO!” The Alpha shouted, but I exploded in magic, casting light throughout the space and hurling the witch against the pillar, causing her to slide to the ground.“HOW?” She looked at me, intrigued, groaning in pain.I sighed, trembling and stumbling on my feet as I approached her, stopping in front of her with difficulty; my vision was blurred.“YOU TOOK HIM FROM ME!” I growled loudly, the pain speaking louder. “YOU KILLED HIM!”I transformed my magic into a dagger suspended in the air, hovering near the witch's neck. “WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?” She looked at me, confused, until the whispers intensified. “I UNDERSTAND...”Laughing, the witch stood up, looking at me challengingly.“LET ME REVEAL THE TRUTH TO YOU!” She raised her hands, dragging me into a memory where Alpha and Victoria appeared. “What do you want me to do?” Victoria's wide-eyed gaze met his. “I'm sorry, brother, how can you do this to your Luna?” “Do what I'm ordering you, half-breed!” The Alpha shouted
POV: HARVEYI stood still, witnessing the advance of the flames devouring the surroundings, fixing my gaze on the spot where she had disappeared. I inhaled deeply, searching for her traces in the air, but in vain. It was evident that even the Goddess had allied herself with her, alongside the ancestors.“You lost her, Alpha,” taunted the sarcastic voice of the beast in my mind. “In the end, someone saw who you really are.”“Go to hell, beast. I have no patience to deal with a coward like you!” I exclaimed, feeling my chest rise and fall rapidly with agitated breath.The monster violently threw us against a pillar, its claws carving a painful path in my skin up to near my groin.“I'm not a coward!” roared the beast in my mind, ready to take complete control.“Then, don't run from the dark witch!” I growled in pain, trying to contain it. It wasn't the time; I needed to find Luna.“Ah, you love her!” laughing, the beast echoed in a malicious manner. “Poor cursed Alpha, lost your only hop
