“Denver, you know it was necessary!” Elara shouted, facing the wizard's fury. “It was the hybrid's destiny to join us; we couldn't defy the ancestors!”“TO HELL WITH THE ANCESTORS!” He yelled, his eyes blazing with anger. “You handed your own daughter to them, my future bride!”I felt a wave of indignation and fury emanating from the wizard.“Denver!” I shouted, trying to pacify the situation. “Your fight is with me, not the witches. Leave them alone. Help me draw the dark witch away, and I will surrender to my fate!”I clenched my fists, keeping my gaze steady on the wizard. Elara, worried, yelled:“What are you doing, Sophie? The moment you leave the shield, the dark, which will know where you are and come within her reach!”“It's all right, Elara,” I replied with a reassuring smile. “So, do we have a deal?”“No!” Denver yelled, completely beside himself. “You wolves can't be trusted, you're always lying!”“That's not true; the Alpha kept his word; Selene is alive and safe; they're
I rose, standing tall like a werewolf, with sharp claws ready to tear her apart.“Child, don't be audacious; we don't want to kill you just yet.” The witch's eyes sparkled with deep darkness. “It's not the time yet, is it? Come with us, your destiny awaits.”“Go exactly where?” I growled, filling my hands with light magic. “What do you mean by 'they won't kill me yet'?”“You've always been so curious, haven't you, Sophie?” The witch smiled, revealing rotting teeth, while impatiently staring at me.I lowered my hands, sensing a faint familiar tone in her voice—my mother's voice. I recalled that out-of-body experience and the revelation she had brought me.“Mom?” A tear rolled down from my fierce eyes, wetting my facial fur. “Is it really you?”The witch raised her chin even higher toward me in a defiant pose.“Who do you think I am, hybrid?” She asked with disdain, toying with dark magic in her fingers, her eyes completely black.“Philippa!” I swallowed hard, realizing her indifference
“It's okay, Alpha, we're going to end this damn thing once and for all,” she growled determinedly.Harvey assumed a werewolf stance by my side, and we advanced against the shadows. The Alpha cut through the darkness, breaking down its barriers, while I cast divine light magic through my claws, granted by the prayers I had uttered. The witch retreated, and I could feel her fear and unease.“CURSED!” She shouted, gritting her teeth. “YOU CAN'T DEFEAT THE SHADOWS!”The cursed one then moved her fists, creating a hurricane of hands and thorns in our direction, seemingly imbued with silver, and upon touching my skin, a burning sensation spread. I let out a roar of pain, causing the Alpha to look at me. He launched himself onto my body, knocking me to the ground and protecting me with his imposing figure.I tried to crawl out from under him, but the storm above us was overwhelming. I saw drops of blood trickling through his fur. Furthermore, I raised my hands and chanted:“By divine forces,
“SOPHIE… You need to find us.” A voice echoed in my mind during the dream, like a whisper that crossed the veils of my consciousness.“Find who? Who are you?” I asked, confused, as the initial darkness gave way to a field of flowers, their beauty illuminating the scene.“We are the bearers of your answers... Come, child, destiny awaits you!” The voice resonated more intensely, revealing a splendid house in the center of the field. I approached, and the door opened before me. Inside, three women and the young boy that I had rescued in the forest were seated in comfortable armchairs, looking at me with expectation.The door slammed shut, and I felt myself being dragged backward as dark, dense clouds formed in the sky, heralding the arrival of shadows.“NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU!” The dark voice of the witch echoed menacingly.I woke up abruptly, my hand instinctively going to my ribs, which burned with each breath.“What happened, human?” The Alpha asked, assessing my condition, still sitting
Skillfully, he finished tearing the rest of my clothes, leaving me completely exposed. Taking a step back, his eyes slowly roamed my body, analyzing. His eyes landed on some bruises left by the dark witch, and a growl erupted from his resigned chest. I could feel the hatred emanating from every wound he observed.The Alpha reached out his hands towards me, never breaking the connection of our gazes.“Come, I'll take care of you,” he whispered seductively, losing himself in our moment.I took his hands, allowing him to guide us to the cool river water. The temperature was perfect, and magic radiated from the place, causing a sense of lightness.Harvey picked up a bath sponge and poured the rose-scented liquid onto it. He approached, raising my arms to the sides, and carefully ran the sponge over my entire body. Each part was treated with care by him. I felt an electric current running between us and sighed. His skillful and firm hands glided over the contours of my breasts, spending mo
It was curious how the days unfolded during the training; at times, it felt like time dragged on, while at others, the perception of time simply disappeared. Selena joined us in the training sessions, while the Alpha, in a lazy and somewhat stubborn manner, remained in his lupine form, watching Elara teach me one of the most dangerous magics, the magic of fire.“Focus, hybrid,” the elder called to my attention as I stared at the wolf in front of me, who seemed entirely unconcerned. “And you, Alpha? Don't you have a pack to take care of?”He snorted, completely ignoring the question.“That wolf doesn't look like the beast that attacked the crescent moons,” Selene observed, speaking softly and displaying fear.“Don't let him hear you!” Another apprentice exclaimed, alarmed.The Lycan king's hearing was extraordinarily acute, and a loud roar erupted from his chest, causing the young witches to scream and run away from the area.“Alpha, did you really have to scare the girls like that?” I
The Alpha remained silent, analyzing me. He clasped his hands on my face and turned them, his fingers gently wiping away the tears.“Is there something that made you believe your mother is the dark witch?” he raised an eyebrow.“Yes, when Denver taught me extracorporeal magic...” I replied carefully, seeing his expression change as I pronounced the wizard's name. “I saw two women fighting, and Philippa, my mother, was there, her eyes consumed by darkness.”Harvey nodded and pulled me into a soft kiss.“Hybrid, if your mother is the dark witch, there are more reasons to confront her,” he said, finally, with coldness.“How can you say that?” I spoke, shocked, pulling away from him.“If she made a pact with the shadows, her soul no longer resides there. It's just a walking shell of darkness. There's no reason for you to have compassion for that empty shell!” The Alpha growled impatiently, pulling me close again, his strong hands firmly gripping my hips.“Maybe you're right, she didn't re
The Night of Walpurgis, also known as the witches' celebration, was finally upon us. The ritual would be held outdoors, in the heart of the forest, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in connection with nature. Witches and wizards danced with joy around a massive bonfire, an essential part of the rite, symbolizing light and purification. Participants had the opportunity to leap over the flames as a symbolic act of renewal and purification.“Wow, I had no idea they could be so lively!” I commented with an enchanted smile, observing the festive atmosphere of the place.“It's all part of the ritual,” the Lycan replied, shrugging. “Music and dance play a crucial role in this ceremony, helping elevate the energy and strengthen the connection with the forces of nature, or something like that.”“I'm impressed that you know this, Alpha,” I said, surprised by his knowledge. He shrugged and responded with a soft growl, “I've been alive for decades, hybrid. Knowing the details of my enemies
