Alessio slammed the door of his car and stepped on the gas, leaving a trail of dust behind him. He was heading to the city, the place where the humans lived and thrived, oblivious to the existence of his kind.He needed a distraction, a way to forget the horrors he had witnessed at the trial. He had tried to run away from his pain, literally, by shifting into his wolf form and roaming the woods for hours. But it was useless. The image of Vitale, standing over his mate with a smirk on his face, haunted him relentlessly.How could he let this happen? How could he fail to protect the one person who meant everything to him? He clenched his jaw and gripped the steering wheel, feeling a surge of anger and frustration. He was weak, he knew it. He had always been weaker than Vitale, who was the alpha of their pack and had the power to do whatever he pleased. Alessio could not challenge him, not without risking his own life and the lives of those who followed him. He cursed under his breath, w

"No, sir, we're not. We have witnesses and CCTV footage to prove it. Now, if you don't pay us right now, we'll have to call the police and press charges against you."Alessio felt a surge of panic and anger. He knew he was in trouble. He had no money, no ID, no car. He was stranded in a foreign city with no way out. He had been set up by Bob, who had sent that woman to seduce him and rob him, knowing that Alessio would fall for her charms. It was a trap, and he had walked right into it.He looked around the lobby, hoping to find a way to escape. But he saw only hostile faces staring at him. The hotel staff, the guests, the security guards. They all looked at him with contempt and disgust. They treated him like a criminal, like a lowlife. They didn't know who he was. They didn't know what he was capable of.He felt a wave of humiliation wash over him. He was used to getting what he wanted without any resistance. He was used to being on top of the food chain.But now, he was reduced to

Roberto felt the cold wind bite his fur as he stood on the boulder, surveying the border patrol. His amber eyes scanned the faces of the wolves below him, looking for signs of fatigue, fear or doubt. He knew they were all weary of this duty, this endless vigil that kept them away from their families and their normal lives. He felt it too, the ache in his bones, the longing in his heart, the frustration in his mind.But he also felt something else, something that drove him to keep going, to keep leading, to keep fighting. To prove his worth.He clenched his jaws, feeling the scars on his muzzle throb with old pain. He had fought many battles in his life, but none like this. The humiliation cut deep into his heart.With or without Vitale's protection, he would get his revenge on Natalia.Roberto cleared his throat and raised his voice, hoping to declare his position within the pack. “Listen up, all of you!” he barked.“I know you’re tired. I know you’re scared. I know you’re angry. But

Roberto groaned as he saw another truck pull up to the pack’s headquarters. He recognized the logo on the side, a stylized paw print with the words “Wolf Tech” underneath. It was the company that supplied the pack with advanced security measures, such as cameras, sensors, and alarms. They had been hired by Vitale to fortify the borders after the omegas kidnap.Roberto hated dealing with them. They were arrogant, nosy, and clueless about the pack’s culture and traditions. They treated the wolves like primitive savages, constantly lecturing them about the benefits of technology and modernization. They also asked too many questions, prying into the pack’s affairs and secrets.But Roberto had no choice but to cooperate. As the beta, he was in charge of overseeing the installation and maintenance of the security devices. He had to escort the technicians to the more secluded corners of the territory, where they would set up their equipment and test it. He had to endure their snide remarks a

Natalia was lost in her thoughts, her mind preoccupied with the investigation and the secrets she had uncovered. She had followed the patrol team for a while, but she had soon drifted away from them, feeling the need for some solitude. She had wandered deeper into the woods, following her instincts and the moon's guidance. She didn't realize where she was going until she reached a familiar cliff, a place that held a special meaning for her. It was a place where she used to come as a child, when she was still part of her original pack. It was a place where she could escape the pressures and expectations of the pack life, and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature. She gazed out from the cliff's edge, feeling a surge of nostalgia and sadness. The view was breathtaking, as the moon cast a silver glow upon the landscape below. She could see the river winding its way through the forest, reflecting the moonlight like a ribbon of liquid silver. She could hear the sound of water rushing

Natalia walked into the pack house, feeling a wave of warmth and noise wash over her. The wolves were gathered around tables, enjoying their dinner and chatting with each other. The smell of roasted meat, baked potatoes and fresh bread filled the air, making her stomach growl. She had skipped lunch, too busy following up on a lead from Lila.She had been investigating the disappearance of several omegas from neighboring packs, and she had a hunch that Kat was somehow involved. She had tried to follow her discreetly, but she had lost her trail in the woods. She had spent hours searching for clues, but she had come up empty-handed. She was frustrated and exhausted, but she knew she couldn't give up. She had to find out what Kat was hiding, and if she was behind the omega kidnapping. She owed it to her pack, and to Vitale, to her kids. She grabbed a plate and filled it with food, then looked for a place to sit. She spotted Lucas, one of the younger wolves who had befriended her after Vit

The sky flashed suddenly and it started to rain. Natalia and Vitale stumbled into the small cave, their breaths visible in the cold air. They quickly gathered some dry wood and started a fire, hoping to warm up and rest for a while. The cave was dimly lit, the dancing flames of the fire casting flickering shadows on the walls. The mood had shifted, and Natalia found herself acutely aware of Vitale’s presence.He was sitting next to her, his dark hair tousled and his green eyes sparkling in the firelight. He was handsome, she had to admit, but he was also dangerous. The fire crackled softly, the only sound in the cave as they settled by its warmth. Natalia shivered slightly from the chill of the night, and Vitale noticed immediately. Without a word, he removed his jacket and draped it around her shoulders. The gesture was intimate, and she felt a rush of warmth not just from the jacket but from the proximity of his body.“Thank you,” she murmured, her voice soft as she glanced up at

As they delved deeper into the laboratory, Alessio's senses were assaulted by the sight of vials filled with mysterious liquids, strange apparatuses he couldn't comprehend, and the faint hum of machines working in the shadows. The very air seemed to pulse with an otherworldly energy."I've dabbled in the realm of the extraordinary," Maddox explained, a hint of pride in his voice. "My experiments transcend the boundaries of conventional science. I can unlock your true potential, Alessio, and help you rise above your weaknesses."Alessio's pulse quickened as he contemplated the possibilities before him. He had always yearned for more strength, to be able to stand on equal ground with Vitale and protect his pack. The temptation to grasp this offer of power was undeniable."But what do you get out of this?" Alessio asked, his gaze scrutinizing Maddox's every move.Maddox's grin widened, revealing a gleam of excitement. "The pursuit of knowledge and the thrill of discovery," he said. "In e
