I reached the sanctuary of the room, throwing myself onto the bed, and eventually drifted off, plunging into a tumult of strange dreams. In one of them, I found myself in a mysterious village, where a mysterious woman was guiding me in the intonation of a rejuvenation spell:“The posture during the incantation is crucial,” she insisted, keeping her gaze sharp while gently tapping the young girl's belly. “Keep your elbow raised, open your arms wider, and feel the control of the air.”The young girl, whose eyes were a fascinating blend of equally intense blue and green, countered with determination: “I'm trying, really!”The woman was not satisfied, and her voice took on a stern tone. “You're not trying hard enough, Philippa!”Philippa? Mom? She looked so different—young and with eyes that were not the same as the ones I knew. A sense of bewilderment enveloped me.“Why do I have to train so much if I have a natural gift?” Philippa frowned and stamped her feet in protest.“Talent isn't e
“We will be exceptional lovers. We need to relieve this tension that consumes us!” I pushed his hands away, irritated.“I am not a piece of meat at your disposal, King Lycan,” I said, clenching my fists. “And certainly not your puppet or this pack's puppet!”“Tell me, Sophie...” He pondered his words, looking at me, intrigued. “If you're not accepted by this pack, what do you plan to do?”Conan isn't going anywhere, so what's your escape plan?” I lowered my head, not wanting to reveal my desire to escape with Conan to the world of witches in search of healing, answers, and refuge.“I don't know...” I whispered, eliciting a faint smile on his lips.“Accept your blessing, Hybrid, the goddess knows what she's doing!” Harvey hissed. “Eat, you're too thin!” I didn't argue; I just ate, had some wine, and felt more relaxed.“Alpha, if you don't mind, may I go rest?”“I thought you'd like to put your nephew to sleep.” My eyes lit up as I saw a maid bring my little brave one. “You can stay with
The book I was reading wasn't in sight, so I went exploring the shelves until I found it at the top. I opened it and began searching for information about my strange kidnapper and my nephew's father. It was then that I came across a title that caught my attention: “The Rise of Harvey Bloodclaw.”As I delved into the reading, I got to know the remarkable achievements of Harvey Bloodclaw since his youth. He had stood out from a very early age, being the first in his tactical training, the best fighter in the pack, and acclaimed as an exceptional strategist. Surprisingly, he had even participated in military training, which shocked me even more.“That explains his level of arrogance!” I commented to myself as I read. However, the book didn't mention anything about Harvey's mother; it only indicated that she had died during childbirth.“It must have been tough growing up without a mother,” I murmured with compassion for the silver wolf, who had practically dragged me into the forest. “I m
“Yes, this is my wish,” I declared, sealing my request with a brief kiss. He stood up, stepping over his sister, not caring about her presence on the floor.“Don't humiliate yourself so much for a man, Victoria, it's ridiculous to witness!” He looked at me with contempt. “Get up, if they haven't killed him, I'll bring him back!”Victoria abruptly got up from the floor, holding her mouth shut to contain her despair.“Would they dare to kill your Beta and provoke your wrath?” I asked fearfully.“It's a war. In their place, I would torture him for information and then kill him,” he said, his eyes meeting mine.“Harvey, this doesn't help us.” I pleaded with courtesy and firmness. “Please, bring Oliver back before they kill him.”He nodded and left, leaving me with his sister, who remained motionless, unable to react to what had just happened.“It will be alright, Victoria, he will bring him back safely!” I tried to comfort her as I placed my hand on her shoulder.“What do you think you're
“Will you return my Beta, or will it be necessary to take him by force?” A rumble echoed from the Alpha's chest, creating a tense atmosphere and causing some wolves to lower their heads before his power.“Well, the Beta belongs to us now... It was he who dared to attack us and fell!” A growl erupted from the rival wolf's chest, displaying his canines in threat.“I'm curious, Patrick,” the Alpha hissed as he approached slowly. All the wolves bared their canines in response. “How did a simple warrior like you manage to bring down a Beta like mine?”A sinister laugh echoed behind the warrior wolf, causing the Alpha to stop and observe. The Crescent Moon pack's Beta was there, wearing a mocking expression. His fangs were stained with blood, his fur was splattered with red, and the scent emanating from him was that of his beta, Oliver. Likely, the wolf before him was the torturer.“Vincent, you've decided to join the party?” Harvey growled with a sarcastic tone. “Have you had your share of
Dragging himself painfully due to his injuries, Alpha finally reached Vincent:“Planning to escape, Beta?” The beast's eyes burned with rage; there was no trace of mercy in them.“Damn it!” Vincent exclaimed, seeing Alpha holding the mangled body of his best warrior in his mouth. “You're a monster!”Before the Lycan King could advance against Vincent, the beta threw a potion on him, watching the Alpha struggle but not yielding.“LIE DOWN, BEAST, I COMMAND!”The beast obeyed, making Beta smile triumphantly.“The spell worked!” He smiled with victorious enthusiasm. However, before he could take another step forward, a sinister laugh escaped from the monster before him, freezing him instantly.“Trying to dominate me?” With bloodstained fangs, he projected a scene of terror for any spectator. “Now it's my turn to hunt you!”Vincent took a few steps back, stumbling over the table in the tent, all the while eyeing the precious Dizzarianthum powder. This rare powder was obtained from a plant
“Ma'am, from here on, you'll have to go alone to meet the king,” Roc whispered, trying to keep his voice low so as not to attract the beast's attention.“What?” I took a few steps back, trembling with fear. “You want me to go alone and face that creature?”They all nodded with expressions of apprehension.“And what should I do?” I asked anxiously. “Just let it tear me apart, like it did with the wolves down below.”“I'm sure the Goddess will be by your side.” Roc looked at the sky, making me follow his gaze towards the moon, which appeared larger and brighter that night.“Hell, I hope so!” I exclaimed angrily. “And know that if I die, I'll make sure to come back for revenge!”Wide-eyed, Roc turned to me. “Are you threatening a deity? Aren't you afraid of her wrath?”“Fear for my life is all I feel!” I replied, trembling. “Well, you all run off with your tails between your legs. I'll face this monster!”“Forgive us!” With their heads hung low, I saw the small group of wolves moves away
Sitting in a circle in the king's grand hall, the wolves discussed their options. Some suggested a direct approach, while others considered using cunning to approach the hybrid. Caleb, with his leadership experience, carefully weighed each idea.“We'll do this the right way,” he said with determination. “We need a solid plan. The hybrid may be the key to controlling the beast, but it's also a threat if we don't handle it with care.”Vincent, recalling the intensity of the hybrid's gaze, proposed, “We should try a diplomatic approach first with the hybrid. If she managed to control the beast once, maybe we can convince her to help us.”Caleb nodded. “Yes, that's a good idea. Let's contact our spy infiltrated in the Mystic Moon pack to convey our invitation to the hybrid.”Meanwhile, somewhere deep in the forest, Sophie struggled in Harvey's arms.“Put me down, I can walk!” I responded angrily to the Alpha, who completely ignored me. “Aren't you hurt?”“This blood isn't mine,” he shrugg
