“You need to rest,” he said hesitantly. “We'll have more time, humans.”The Alpha came in with a gentle kiss, and I clung to his neck, pulling him close and running my hands down his back, scratching him, feeling a deep craving for more of his touches. Harvey pushed me against the wall while pressing his body against mine. I could feel his erratic pulse; his desire was burning as intensely as mine.“Stay with me tonight,” I smiled playfully before becoming serious, “I don't think I can sleep.”“Are you scared?” He caressed my chin with his fingers and said, “Your bed is too small for the both of us!”“Then show me your room!” I held his hand with a mischievous grin, running my tongue along his fingers, and said, “Protect me tonight.”Growling and shaking his head, Harvey extended his hand. I accepted it, and we walked to his room at the end of the hallway. We stopped at the door, and I turned to face him. Swiftly, the Alpha claimed my lips with intensity, making me gasp amid our kisse
“Will they treat me with hostility?” I asked drowsily as I opened my mouth and nuzzled my head against Alpha's bare chest.“Likely, I'll go with a threat and a proposal,” he lazily responded, stroking my hair.“Is it really necessary to threaten right from the start? Why not propose something first?” I murmured softly as sleep began to envelop me.“Just going there without killing anyone is already a proposal,” he said, bidding me goodnight brusquely. “Goodnight, human.”“Goodnight, Mr. Arrogant!”I withdrew into his warm embrace, feeling safe. However, restlessness accompanied me throughout the night, like a cold draft. I opened my eyes and saw a figure on the balcony of the room. Silently, I got up, and as I approached, I realized that Alpha was asleep. I sniffed the air but detected no scent of danger.I decided to head towards the balcony, but I stopped abruptly when I recognized the figure.“Agatha!” My tears flooded my eyes, and I ran toward her.“Hello, my sister,” she said, tu
I entered the room determined, my hands clenching in anger as I approached the Alpha, who was getting dressed. I grabbed his arm tightly, and he raised his eyebrows, surprised by the intensity of my grip.“Is this your answer?” I growled, unable to contain my anger. “If this is how our relationship is going to be, then you're no different from human men!”Harvey pulled me abruptly, his fingers gently gripping my neck. I could see the tremor in his body and the struggle to contain his fury and avoid hurting me.“Watch your words, Sophie,” he threatened with a loud growl escaping from his heaving chest. We stared at each other until he finally let go of me and stepped away.“Get ready, we're heading to the Witch's Town,” he snarled as he left the room, slamming the door with force. Tears began to stream down my face.“Agatha was right...” I whispered, my voice trembling. “There is no love here!”We set off towards the Witch's Town, nestled in a deep valley, surrounded by snow-covered mo
“Did only you see it?” Denver whispered to the witch, discreetly pointing in my direction.“The mark of the reclusive witches!” Elara nodded. “Well, only the Alpha and the Hybrid can go through; the others, let them freeze in the cold!”I was about to object, but the Alpha abruptly cut me off.“Come on, Sophie!” He grabbed my elbow and practically dragged me into the city.“We can't leave them out in this cold!” I protested, frustrated. “Do you want them to die?”The Alpha responded sarcastically, “They're wolves with warm coats. They'll survive until we return.”“You really don't care about anyone, do you?” I shrugged in frustration.He looked at me seriously, as if he wanted to say something, but chose to ignore it.“I don't have time for this,” he growled softly, moving away to stand beside the gray-haired witch.Finally, we arrived at a cozy house, and Denver opened the door to give us space. He stared firmly at the Alpha, who completely ignored him, while I walked past him, raisi
“Come to us, hybrid... Come, we're waiting for you!” The child jumped and swirled her cloak. “Your destiny needs to be sealed; your answers are with us.”“But who are you? Who's waiting for me?” I asked, unable to move as I stared at the child.“We are you, and you are us. We are your ancestors, your roots... Come to us, Sophie.” The child laughed as she dangerously approached me, unsettling my heart. “COME TO THE RECLUSIVE WITCHES!”She shouted at a high pitch, echoing intensely in my ears, almost making them bleed. Time seemed to return to normal, and I watched the Alpha rise in anger and head toward me, uttering words I couldn't hear due to the bleeding in my ears. I placed my hands over my ears, wiping the blood away, while the witch approached. Lycan King was about to bite her when I yelled:“Don't hurt Elara!” I shouted, seeing the Alpha look at me incredulously. “She didn't harm me; it was the forest child... They are calling me.”I read the lips of the elderly witch, who seeme
“DAMN IT!” I roared, recalling the wolf that fell from the cliff. However, my greatest folly was accepting to be his Luna, surrendering my purity to a wolf who saw me only as the satisfaction of his primal instincts.“Maybe I should let the darkness consume me.” I growled and resigned. I entered the room as I planned my next steps. Soon, I would be among the witches, determined to master my power and become strong enough to protect both myself and Conan. I was determined to escape from the Alpha and the darkness that surrounded us.At the door, the Lycan King approached, noticing my tension. “What do you want here?” I snarled, irritated.“You're my Luna, and this room won't be yours anymore. We'll share the bed in my room,” he declared, shrugging as he approached.“Alpha,” I said, turning to face him, feeling his proximity so close that I could feel his warm breath on my face. “I want to revoke my choice!”“That's not possible,” he smiled, reaching out his hands to touch my hair, twir
“Are you already going to rest?” I looked at him, raising an eyebrow as I realized that the night had barely begun.“I had other plans for tonight.” He opened his eyes, smiling mischievously, and I blushed. “The pact made with the witch drained some of our energies; the next steps are crucial. Your training with Elara is of utmost importance, so we need to rest.”“If you were so tired, why didn't you leave me in my room?” I twisted the blanket in my hands. “Why did you bring me to your room?”“Why not?” Harvey pulled me close with force, making me sit next to him. “You have warm skin.”He rubbed his face against my shoulder, causing shivers and pleasurable tingles on my skin. Holding my chin, the Alpha turned my gaze towards him, and I could see the flames burning in his eyes.“You are my Luna, human, whether you like it or not, you belong to me, and I like to keep what's mine close!” Growling, Harvey brushed his lips against mine.“Then you should invite everyone to your house,” I wh
POV: SOPHIEAfter Harvey's strange outbreak, the days passed quickly without any sign of him. On the third night, I gave up on going to his room and stayed in mine, waiting for him to come and explain, but that never happened.I was playing with Conan, who had grown a lot. Time flew by, and my heart ached every time I thought about having to stay away from his innocence and love for months. It was a tough decision but necessary, considering that darkness threatened to engulf him as well, and I wouldn't allow that to happen.When Denver returned with me after healing my ears, he told me about the legend. None of it made sense in my head. If all that were true, then our mother used us as pawns for the shadows. Why would she do that? Her behavior had always been peculiar and hard to understand, but to give away her own daughters?I sighed, watching Conan take his first steps and clapping when he succeeded. On the sixth day, he walked down the long hallway toward the Alpha's office. I let
