I realized I was exhausted when I woke up to the sunlight streaming through the window and realized I had only just slept. I looked at the table in the room, and there was food kindly laid out.Was I asking for too much dexterity to eat with a fork and knife in lupine form? Furthermore, I thought to myself as I approached, trying to figure out how to accomplish this task.Ironically, I devoured my breakfast. I hated the shape I was in, but I knew I had to get stronger. I had to find out where Conan was being held, devise a rescue plan, retrieve him, and escape this madness! Moreover, I was determined to find the reclusive witches; perhaps they could help me break the curse. It was my last hope.That's when I noticed the door opening.“Don't you knock before you enter?” I asked the surly Alpha standing in front of me.“The hut is mine; why should I knock?” he replied rudely. “Have you decided to eat?”“Of course, I don't want to risk annoying you and being forced to hunt again!” I taun
“All right, there's no need for threats,” I said firmly to him. “I just need to run and jump, right? I'm a wolf.” I closed my eyes, immersing myself in the meditation that allowed me to connect with the new lupine form I had been granted.“Take a deep breath,” the Alpha instructed me calmly. “When you opened your eyes, I wanted you to carefully survey the terrain in front of you. Then take a running start and jump with your hind legs when you reach the edge, keeping your front legs folded in the air.”“And how did I land?” I asked, still with my eyes closed, my uncertainty palpable in my voice.“Instinct!” He replied in a playful tone, causing me to widen my eyes in concern.“Instinct? Is that your instruction?” I asked incredulously.“Yes. You were an animal now—a wolf. Your instincts would tell you what to do. Visualize your jump and landing,” he insisted with conviction.I let out a low growl of dissatisfaction and then closed my eyes again. I immersed myself in a visualization exe
The silver-furred werewolf with blue eyes raised his head in my direction.“You needed to focus the energy of your body and connect with your inner wolf,” he instructed. “Imagine your muscles relaxing, your fur returning to its original texture, and your claws retracting into your skin.”As I listened to his words, a feeling of unease washed over me. It was unsettling to imagine the claws that had once torn into my flesh retracting back into me. As if he could read my mind, he said, “Hunf, you must not let the fear of pain control you.” The wolf growled harshly, making me jump. “Being afraid of pain is the same as being afraid of life itself. Don't focus on the possibility of pain; focus on who or what you really want to be.” He moved even closer, nuzzling my face like a gentle caress, and ran his paw gently down my body. “Do you feel that?”I turned my eyes to his, which were close to mine. “I do.” I shivered.“You can experience human sensations; they are unique,” he went on. “If yo
“I hadn't thought of that!” I admitted it, feeling embarrassed as I entered the water.I glanced at the man, realizing that he was naked in front of me as well, without any shame whatsoever. Despite the scars on his chest that extended down to his well-toned abdomen, his body was proportionally harmonious; his shoulders were not excessively wide compared to his waist and hips. He had well-defined muscles, but he wasn't overly muscular.His abdomen was toned, his chest was firm, and his arms were muscular but not overly bulky. His skin was smooth with a five o'clock shadow, and he was of medium to tall height with a well-defined bone structure that was quite attractive. His hair was well-groomed, and his face displayed a subtle, genuine smile. My eyes wandered down to his pubic area, which was impressively erect.“Should I be embarrassed by the way you're looking at me right now?” He teased her with a mischievous smile on his face.I bit my lip, feeling embarrassed.“You were supposed
“But I became a human,” she replied, perplexed by the change of direction. “Isn't that what you wanted?”“You must master the transformation; you must revert to your lupine form!”“What? Why should I go back to being a wolf?” I stood up abruptly, feeling sharp pains in my stomach. He seemed to notice my distress and turned to me.“It's not a choice; your body is already showing signs of reverting to the lupine form,” the Alpha explained bluntly. “You will learn to control the transformations and master your different forms.”“Can I remain in human form forever?” I smiled hopefully at the idea.“No!” He shouted vehemently. “Why would you stay in such a fragile and vulnerable form?”“A few minutes ago, you didn't find my form pathetic,” I taunted, irritated by the inconsistency. A smile escaped his lips.“Make no mistake, human. My intentions are purely carnal and instinctive, driven by animal lust,” he replied frankly. “Expect no more than that!”Finally, he walked away, leaving me emb
“You knew it was just a cub, didn't you?” My voice quavered with sadness. My words came out in a sad whisper, as if I was trying to lighten the burden that weighed on me.“I did,” he replied calmly, revealing a coldness that sent shivers down my spine. His voice was an emotionless echo, a brutal confirmation of the cruelty of the situation.“YOU'RE A MONSTER, YOU MADE ME KILL A CUB!” I shouted, feeling an overwhelming wave of hatred coursing through my veins. My words exploded in anger, echoing through the dark forest like a desperate cry.“I didn't force you to kill it, you chose to kill it for your own reasons. Remember that, human!” His ruthless demeanor brought out the painful reality that everything he had done had been done to turn me into a monster like him. His words were like sharp daggers, piercing my heart with bitter truth.“Have you no compassion for anything?” I sobbed as I sang a gentle melody in honor of the lifeless bear cub before me. “May your journey beyond life be
“Yes,” he confirmed. “I wondered how someone so sick could live so intensely, without fear, without laws, without pressure. She just lived.”I smiled between my fangs, remembering my sister's outgoing nature. Agatha was the most energetic person I knew, intense in everything she did, giving herself wholeheartedly to whatever she wanted…“So you fell in love?” I asked, already knowing the answer that was clearly visible in his eyes.“It was a forbidden passion, my Beta Oliver had already warned me of the wrath of the gods. But as the strongest Alpha of the packs, I felt above the gods, and how could I fear them?” A flash of pride and regret crossed the Lycan's gaze.“You are truly fearless!” I joked, trying to lighten the mood.“Perhaps I am human.” He turned his muzzle and nuzzled his head against mine, pushing me gently into the cabin.“You're not going to continue this story?” I asked curiously.“It didn't have a happy ending.” He shrugged.“Good love stories rarely have happy endin
As we ventured deeper into the village, I noticed the approach of several wolves, who began to whisper to each other. One wolf with shining fur spoke up:“She's a hybrid! What is the Alpha doing with a cursed creature?”A wolf with a harsh and imposing voice replied:“After this, we will all be considered cursed, for the Goddess will not forgive us.”Another smaller wolf joined the group and asked:“Did the beast steal our king's mind?”I shrank back and followed the Lycan in front of me, who seemed unperturbed by the murmurs of his people. He led us to the center, where an imposing stone caught our attention, and he walked toward it while I followed, not knowing what to expect or where we were going. Suddenly, we stopped, and I looked at him, intrigued.“Are you bringing Conan here?” I asked with a hint of fear in my eyes.I surveyed the area, saw all the wolves approaching the area where we were, and felt the pack gathering around us. Nervous about their approach, I couldn't help bu
