Vione stood frozen. Her intuition grew uneasy as more signs of the werewolf's presence registered in her senses. She scanned the area, her eyes piercing the darkness. Damn, I am surrounded.
The rustling of leaves and bushes disturbed the previously quiet forest. Slowly but surely, one by one, they began to reveal themselves.
Vione's guess was correct. She was surrounded by an uncountable number of werewolves, and among them was the one she least wanted to meet.
"Mireya."
Mireya stepped out of the darkness of the night, smiling. "Vione, we finally meet again."
It was the meeting Vione feared. She knew that Mireya was trouble, and meeting her meant trouble ahead. Especially since Mireya had brought a considerable number of warriors with her.
Vione's expression changed. The uneasy feeling intensified. No doubt, Mireya had come to capture her.
"It's been a while since we last met. Um. Maybe fifteen months ago?" Mireya asked, furr
Vione prepared herself and so did the warriors. They seemed to know that Vione would not give up easily. They exchanged glances, encouraging each other, each harboring a hint of doubt.After all, Vione had once been their Luna. Undoubtedly, a reluctance to use violence against her lingered in their hearts. Unfortunately, there was an order to be carried out. Mireya had the authority they had to obey, whether they liked it or not."Vione, it would be better if you surrender peacefully," the warrior leader, Storm, suggested.Vione turned to Storm. "I'm sorry, Storm, but I can't."Storm Meadow stood still for a moment. An inner struggle was visible in his eyes. The day he had captured Vione and her parents was still fresh in his mind. Now he had to do it again?Storm's common sense and his conscience fought. Following Mireya's orders should have been easy, but it wasn't."Storm!" Mireya snapped. She glared at Storm with a piercing look. "I told
The inevitable battle unfolded as Storm and the warriors transformed into their wolf forms and launched their attack.Vione instinctively stepped back after catching a glimpse of the golden wolf. Somehow, she felt the golden wolf urging her to move aside. She obeyed, retreating as the golden wolf lunged forward.On the other hand, Mireya could not shift her focus from the golden wolf. Her hands clenched tightly and she unconsciously began to bite her lower lip. Gradually, her restlessness turned into real concern. The eyes, the way it stared, and the shape of the golden wolf were unmistakable. But how could that be?In his majestic wolf form, Storm let out a commanding howl. Four warriors leapt forward with their front paws raised, sharp claws gleaming in the moonlight, ready to tear at the golden wolf.The golden wolf dodged with grace, effortlessly avoiding each warrior's attack. Storm, in his wolf form, growled in frustration. The warriors loo
"Mireya ordered me to capture Vione. So, my team and I ventured into the forest. We found her, but we were unable to bring Vione back."At this point, Storm stopped talking and cleaned his wounds. He pondered for a moment, staring blankly at the cotton in his hand."What happened?""That man showed up."Garth's body tensed instantly. "What did you say? The man? You mean the man accused of being Vione's lover?""Yes," Storm said, not taking his eyes off the cotton in his hand. "But he denied the accusation. He even boldly claimed that Vione is a loyal Luna. She never betrayed the Alpha."Garth fell silent, waiting for Storm to take a breath before he continued."I want to believe that, but when I asked him for proof, he couldn't provide it."Garth's eyes closed dramatically. For a moment hope had risen in his heart. If Vione was truly innocent and the man had proof, he thought it would be easier to convince Usher to reconsider V
Vione did not know how long she had been asleep—or perhaps unconscious—but when she came to, confusion was the first thing she felt. Her eyes focused on the ceiling, and a question popped into her head. Where am I?The ceiling looked unusual. There were no hanging lights or protective fixtures. Its black color gave it a hard, stone-like appearance.Despite her stiffness, Vione tried to stand up. Ignoring a fallen blanket, she surveyed her surroundings. She confirmed that she was indeed in a cave."Hello! Is anyone here?"Vione walked cautiously, her hands gripping the cave walls as she continued to call out."Hello!"No answer came to Vione. Only the echo of her voice could be heard. She scanned her surroundings for signs of other life, but found none. She was alone, and the man was gone.Vione's hope faded. It seemed the man had realized her intentions and decided to leave at the right moment. So, she lost the ch
Mireya welcomed Torin's kiss with the same passion. She opened her mouth and let Torin explore her tongue. She moaned as she raised one leg.Torin pinned Mireya against the wall. One hand pulled up Mireya's raised leg while he pressed his hardened masculinity against Mireya's stomach.Mireya trembled with desire. Her breathing became erratic, and fortunately Torin broke their kiss at the right moment. This allowed her to catch her breath while Torin continued to caress her.Torin's free hand squeezed Mireya's bottom. Then his fingers began to roam all over Mireya's body, moving up until they landed on her breasts. He unbuttoned Mireya's clothes and pushed her breasts out of the confines of her bra.Mireya's face tilted back as she bit her lower lip. Torin's mouth enveloped her breasts, making her tremble with desire.Torin sucked. He tasted and played with Mireya's breasts at will. But that was not enough for him. He lifted Mireya and laid her on t
Cora clutched her phone as she tried to calm herself. Occasionally, she paced back and forth, her eyes looking up, though she couldn't see the floor where Usher's room was."Oh, Garth. Where are you? What took you so long?"Footsteps caught Cora's attention as soon as she asked the question. She turned to see Garth entering."Cora."Cora's eyes widened as she approached Garth. "Oh, Garth. You're here at last.""Sorry. The roads were a bit congested," Garth said. Then he asked, "So, what happened?""Mireya has a foreign guest."Garth furrowed his brow. "A foreign guest?""Yes, a man, and I've never seen him before." Cora narrowed her eyes, her expression changed. "The man went upstairs and Greisy escorted him to the Alpha's room.""What?" Garth was sure he had misheard, or at least Cora had misspoken. "You said the man was escorted to the Alpha's room?"Cora nodded. "As I suspected. Mireya received the guest in the
Scott arrived at The Palace and immediately met Garth in Usher's room. Before answering Garth's phone call, he examined Usher's condition. The result seemed to be the same as before. Usher showed no signs of improvement."It seems we can't do another thorough examination, Garth. I'm afraid it might further weaken the Alpha's body."Garth dramatically closed his eyes. "So, what can we do? Alpha has slept too long, Scott. Alpha has to wake up.""I'm sorry, Garth," Scott said regretfully. He squeezed Garth's shoulder. "I feel useless too. I can't do anything for the Alpha's recovery."Garth knew that he was not the only one who felt powerless in this situation. Everyone felt the same way. Besides, the members of the pack were praying incessantly in the Amerotha forest, asking the Moon Goddess for Usher's recovery."Garth."Scott's voice was different, more enthusiastic."What is it, Scott? Do you have any idea?"Scott nodded. "Som
Garth had forgotten when he had last set foot in Jemma's house, even though Usher used to make routine visits and accompany him. Ah! Garth seemed to remember that Usher forgot this habit when he started to get close to Mireya.Garth's face hardened. It was not only Vione and the pack that Usher had neglected, but also Jemma, his biological mother, had been ignored by Usher since Mireya had arrived."So, what did you mean before, Garth?"Jemma came over with a cup of tea. She served it to Garth and sat down on the available patio chair. The breeze and the coolness calmed her feelings somewhat."Thank you, Jemma," Garth said, enjoying the tea in one sip. The tea returned to the table and he exhaled. "Yesterday Mireya had a visitor.""What? A visitor?"Garth nodded. "Yes. A man, and I don't know what pack he's from. I've never seen his face.""So, what happened?""Mireya met him in Alpha's room."Jemma's eyes widened. "Wait
