I affirmed, my voice carrying a mix of resolve and optimism. The atmosphere in the room shifted, infused with a collective determination that bordered on defiance.Our moods were elevated, and the anxiety that had clung to us like a shroud seemed to dissipate. The bond we shared, strengthened by the exchange of blood and lighthearted banter, created a semblance of unity in the face of adversity.However, the reprieve was short-lived. A sudden change in the air disrupted our sense of triumph. The scent, carried by the night breeze, reached my heightened senses, and the realization hit me like a physical blow. The unmistakable scent of an army of enemy warriors enveloped my nose, a foreboding aroma that sent a shiver down my spine.I turned to Sergio and the others, my expression mirroring the unease that flickered across their faces. The room fell into a hushed stillness, the air pregnant with the impending storm. "Fernanda, he's here," my wolf, Lara, whispered to my subconscious, her v
As I waded through the chaos, nearby enemy warriors attempted to impede my progress. With swift and deliberate movements, I fended them off, a dance of blades and fur that showcased the primal instincts guiding my actions. Every strike was executed with utmost focus, my mind consumed by the singular goal of reaching Damian."Fernanda, if you don't calm down, you're going to make a mistake and make yourself highly vulnerable," Lara, my wolf, warned with a sense of urgency. Her voice echoed in the recesses of my mind, a reminder of the risks inherent in letting anger override reason. But I was too consumed by fury to heed the caution. The taste of vengeance lingered on my tongue, driving me forward with relentless determination.I continued to forge ahead, my senses honed on the direction and scent of Damian's voice. The battlefield was a cacophony of clashes and roars, each step a deliberate stride toward the confrontation that awaited. The anticipation of our impending clash heightened
As my mental focus extended, I pinpointed Alpha Draxler's location. However, the relief of finding him was overshadowed by the realization that he was already engaged in a fierce clash with Sergio. The urgency of the situation surged within me – Sergio needed backup, and the celestial blood I had shared might not offer prolonged protection.Opening my eyes, I whispered to Lara, a silent understanding passing between us. "We need to back up Sergio," I said, my voice carrying a mix of determination and concern. "Alpha Draxler is already clashing with him, and we can't afford to leave him alone."Lara hummed in agreement, her wolf instincts resonating with the urgency of the situation. "But what about Damian?" she voiced the unspoken concern, a reminder that the past antagonist still loomed in the shadows.The decision weighed heavily on me. "We'll have to deal with Damian later," I replied, my gaze firm. "Right now, Sergio needs our support. The battle with Alpha Draxler is crucial, and
The charged atmosphere shifted as Grinjo charged towards me again, his movements slightly quicker, indicating a stronger attack this time. I composed my balance, anticipating the targeted spot he aimed for, ready to guard against the impending strike. Yet, in a cunning twist, Grinjo altered his target at the last second. The switch caught me off guard, and the stance I had taken meant I wouldn't be able to defend against the new trajectory.Just as the blow was about to land, a sudden intervention disrupted the course of the clash. Out of nowhere, Damian appeared, swift and decisive. His kick deflected Grinjo's hand away, sparing me from the impending impact. Staggering back, I took a moment to regain my bearings, the relief mingled with a tinge of surprise at Damian's unexpected interference.However, the proximity of Damian's presence made me acutely aware of the mixed emotions swirling within me. His sudden appearance, while beneficial in that moment, also triggered a wave of discom
Breaking the silence, Jake's voice reverberated through the night. "Which one of you wants to come at me first?" he challenged, his tone carrying the weight of authority. Grinjo, smirking with confidence, stepped forward, ready to accept the challenge. "Don't get so cocky now," he retorted. "You're still young and inexperienced. What makes you think you could take me alone, much less along with Damian? I think you're getting ahead of yourself, and it'll be my pleasure to put fools like you in your place."The tension between the two wolves simmered, the air thickening with the promise of impending confrontation. Grinjo, with a determined glint in his glowing red eyes, began the transformative process into his own wolf form. A massive ash wolf emerged, its red eyes gleaming in the moonlight. While as large as Jake, Grinjo lacked the same intimidating presence.Turning to Damian, Jake challenged him to join the impending clash. "And you? Aren't you going to shift? Or are you scared?" he
Grinjo's fur bristled with confidence, and his red eyes bore into mine with a mix of arrogance and challenge. I couldn't help but feel a surge of adrenaline, my senses heightened in the primal dance of the battleground. The clash of our packs served as a chaotic backdrop, but in that moment, it was just Grinjo and me, two betas bound by loyalty and duty.He started the conversation, his deep growl carrying a hint of mockery, "You know, Jake, you've got so much potential. It's a shame you're throwing it all away for such a petty reason."I shot him a puzzled look, the words hanging in the air like a lingering challenge. "Petty reason? What's that supposed to mean?" I questioned, my fur prickling with curiosity.Grinjo's lips curled into a snarl, his gaze narrowing. "Protecting your Alpha's woman, that's what. You think that's worth risking everything for?"The accusation hung heavy between us, and I couldn't comprehend how safeguarding my Alpha's mate could be deemed petty. My loyalty w
Sergio's POV*The moon hung in the sky, casting an ethereal glow over the battlefield strewn with shadows of the combatants. Breathing heavily, I felt the weight of the shifting tides of the fight. Beside me, Charles and Trevor fought valiantly, their fur matted with sweat and blood. The stench of the ongoing battle lingered in the crisp night air.As we clashed with Draxler, the realization slowly crept upon me – stamina, that elusive fuel of strength, was depleting. A subtle exhaustion coursed through me, and my limbs began to protest. Glancing at Charles and Trevor, their struggles mirrored my own. We were warriors, but even warriors had limits.My lips parted, and a muttered realization escaped, almost a subconscious whisper to Leo, my faithful wolf companion. "Running out of stamina," I confessed quietly, as if sharing a secret with my loyal confidant. Leo's eyes gleamed with understanding, a silent acknowledgment of the shared burden we bore.Alpha Draxler, sensing our vulnerabil
*Fernanda's POV*I lay there on the cold, unforgiving floor, my breaths coming in ragged gasps as I struggled to regain composure. Damian, the embodiment of malevolence, circled me like a vulture reveling in its imminent feast. He seemed amused by my vulnerability, his eyes gleaming with triumph. As he towered over me, I couldn't summon the strength to utter a single word."Catch your breath, Fernanda. We have all the time in the world," Damian mocked, a wicked grin etched across his face. The pain in my abdomen still pulsed, a constant reminder of the recent battle I had fought so desperately to survive."Cat got your tongue?" he taunted, oblivious to my silent suffering. I felt his strong grip on my throat, lifting me effortlessly. The world blurred around me as I choked on both physical and emotional pain. His words cut deeper than any physical wound."You shouldn't have escaped that night," Damian accused, his voice dripping with venom. "Now all the people you love will die because
