“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
“I didn't sleep with Suellen; I told you that being a mate to an Alpha is bigger than a human love,” he whispered, brushing his lips against mine. I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, lifting my gaze to meet his.“What was she doing in your office?” I asked, determined.“She brought important reports from the other pack; I needed to know how many females were pregnant,” he replied. I looked intrigued.“Why?” I inquired.“To prepare for the next attack,” he growled.“Why did you distance yourself from me?” I clenched my fists, lowering my head in embarrassment. Sighing, Harvey lifted my chin again, gripping my neck and pulling me into his lips. His kiss was filled with hunger and desire, pushing me against the wall, and he tore my blouse, fervently taking my breasts, sucking on my nipples, and biting the sides. Moaning, I pulled his hair as Harvey held them firmly, pulling them even harder.“Harvey...” I moaned loudly when he took the other breast into his mouth and squeezed t
We arrived in the bathroom, where he skillfully undressed me. We entered the shower, and with gentleness, he applied shampoo from the scalp to the tips, tending to each strand with special care.“Why do you want me to love you?” Breaking the silence, the Alpha asked in a low and almost husky tone. I fell silent, deep in thought. He turned me to face him, pressing me against the shower wall, playing with the foam and spreading it along the contours of my body, causing shivers and making my nipples stand erect.“You desire many things without understanding why you want them,” he said boldly.“I'm your Luna,” I retorted. “Can't I desire to be loved by my Alpha?” He turned me around and pulled me into the hot shower, rinsing my hair. His massages were gentle, making me close my eyes and savor the sensation.“If it meant your destruction, would you still want me to love you?” Harvey whispered in my ear. I turned abruptly to face him, and he came closer, brushing his lips against my neck. H
I witnessed the devastation engulfing the world while our pack was consumed by flames. Conan appeared larger, as if possessed by an insatiable desire for blood and chaos. I saw Harvey lifeless, dragged by his own offspring, who devoured his flesh with ferocity, roaring with pleasure.A firm hand lifted me from the ground as I trembled, tears flooding my eyes and despair taking hold of me. Conan cried even more intensely. The Alpha roared, shaking me to snap me out of the trance.“What happened?” the Alpha inquired, his voice echoing threateningly.“Everyone is doomed,” I murmured in a whisper. “My little brave one will fall victim to the shadows!”I held him tightly, trying to shield him from his impending fate. I began to chant, a mysterious melody echoing in my mind like a divine whisper meant to protect us.“With ancestral words, I invoke this magic into action, a circle of light, under the protection of the Moon Goddess. No harm shall befall him, and I will cast a protective spell
“Come on, dear?” Elara called me, leading me to enter her city. As we walked, curious glances turned in our direction. Small children played in the square, jumping rope with the help of spells, as there was no one physically moving the rope, only magic. I closed my eyes, immersing myself in the scents that hung in the air. The smell of this magic was pure and innocent, something I had never experienced before.“Can you smell the magic's fragrance?” Elara observed me with curiosity.“Yes,” I said, opening my eyes to look at her. “It's sweet, light, and entirely unique.”“Children's magic tends to be like that.” she smiled, leading me further into the city. “In the past, magic had only one tone and one cent...”“And what changed?” I asked, intrigued.“The world changed!” Elara sighed and continued. “Greed and curiosity took over; witches were no longer satisfied with the purity of primordial magic; they wanted more.”“How did they manage to change that?”“Hybrid, shadows have always bee
With hurried steps, I distanced myself from the location, aware that there was much to be planned. I stopped at the top of a hill with a clear view of the city of witches, sitting down as I heard footsteps approaching.“Initiate the infiltration into the Crescent Moon pack, observe them closely, learn about their routines, and find out where the apprentices are being held as hostages!” I growled at the approaching Beta.“Consider it done, my Alpha,” Oliver replied courteously, remaining still and watching me.Impatient, I continued to gaze at the imposing magical city before finally addressing the Beta.“Ask your question already!” I impatiently growled, keeping my gaze on the city.“Will the Lord not accompany us?” the Beta whispered, concerned. “We know their Alpha remains on high alert at all times.”“Oliver,” I called him by name, making him tremble. My voice sounded threatening. “Your cowardice disgusts me!”I stood up and began to walk.“Forgive me, my King!” the Beta lowered hi
I burst into laughter, pausing to gaze at her in a predatory manner.“The darkness isn't satisfied with just that; it desires to claim everything and everyone!” I growled furiously. “I'm not a fool, witch!”“Not this time!” The woman moved, looking at me seriously. “We can seal the deal with a pact.”“My answer is no!” I snarled, advancing towards the witch, who raised a dark magical shield around herself for protection.“Your refusal will result in the fury of the shadows against your pack, your cub, and you!” She shouted impatiently. “Are you willing to risk them for a hybrid?”I paced back and forth, trying to find a gap in her defense to sink my claws into her decaying flesh.“I've lived with the darkness's fury for ages; no one will touch what's mine. The hybrid is my Luna, and I will protect her!” I smiled, finding the opening, leaping over the shield, and stopping behind the dark witch. Before I could reach her, she began to vanish into a dark smoke.“Remember your choice today
