"Hey! Are you sure this is the right way?" Matt inquired Israel as they surveyed every corner of the forest we airly. His hands were shoved deep in his pockets, and soon he stopped at the nearby tree. His head was turned to the side, watching Israel intently. "This feels more like an adventure than searching.""I'm just following the map that Hailey drew. We're getting closer," Israel explained."But it's been three hours already. This place is huge. I thought you said she told us where to go?" Matt seemed to be getting more and more agitated with every passing minute. He looked ready to bolt at any moment, but I couldn't blame him. The woods around us had started growing creepy compared to our earlier encounters, but we had to keep going."Hailey didn't specify the exact direction because we already have a map. Let's just keep going," he replied and looked up for a second to point ahead. A little way off, they could see some trail leading deeper into the woods."We have been walking

"Of all the silver werewolves, you are the loser." she continued laughing, degrading me in every way possible until my rage boiled over. With a growl, I launched myself at her. Her smile didn't vanish even as my jaws closed around her neck. In an instant, she disappeared along with her laughter, and I found her beside Alpha."We are witches, Gwen. And you can kill us by being aggressive like that." she pointed to the other black woman standing at the corner as if nothing had happened. So it means I didn't kill them, and everything was just a trick to deceive me using their black magic spell and teleportation.Holy shit!"W-what did you say?" Alpha stuttered, his face contorted in confusion. "Your mate is a silver werewolf!" Witch Delphine shouted with a wide grin, her eyes shining. She cackled as Alpha turned toward me, still trying to comprehend what he had just heard. "Now that you know that your mate is a silver werewolf, you have to accept that she's different from other werewol

I woke up panting, my heart racing like a racehorse as my hands gripped the sheets of my bed tightly, my chest felt tight, and my skin prickled with sweat and fear."Gwen?" Alpha inquired, a voice soft but with an air of worry behind it; he was sitting beside me on my bed. "You okay?"I glanced at him to see his concern and let out a breath I didn't even know I had been holding. "It's just the dreams," I said. "They're so vivid."Closing my eyes for a moment, I took a deep breath before opening them again, focusing on Alpha."But you are here now. There's no reason to worry," I reassured, and my anxiety started to seep away.Our eyes locked onto each other, and we both smiled softly. Alpha looked relieved, as if all of the burden and worry from earlier had vanished.My mind drifted back to the scenario that had transpired yesterday, and my heart started to gallop as I remembered how I had said those words.Holy shit!So... did I accept him as my mate?"Are you thinking if you gonna ta

His eyes filled with painful tears and hurt. And yet they held so much controllable anger, which I never saw before. My chest tightened. I was urged to comfort, keep him tight, and protect him as he had done for me. But here I am, watching him crying, and even without articulating any words; I think I already understood the answer to what was bothering him. "Are you happy?" he asked, voice low and emotionless. He stared at me with such intensity that I could feel the pressure of his stare on me. I swallowed hard before looking away from him. "Answer me." "It was my choice." It was all I could say. The words stuck in my throat, refusing to flee. "Please, tell me exactly what's your problem, Matt. Don't make things hard." "The Alpha told me you accepted him as your mate. Is it true?" he asked until he walked fast toward me, grabbing my shoulder tightly. "Please tell me no, Gwen. I promise to do anything you want. Tell me it's a lie..." The tears started to form in my eyes when the p

"Gwen?"My sister's voice echoed throughout the room as she saw me standing at the frame door. She scurried to hug me. "Oh, Gwen, I'm so glad you're safe. We missed you!"With one tight embrace, I felt soothed and reassured by her presence. It's been a week since I saw my sister and my parents. But this morning, I decided to visit them with Alpha Ace, who was now standing behind me."I miss you, my sister!" I hugged her back just as tightly."Come in!" she said, pulling away from me and taking hold of my hand as we walked inside the house. "Welcome to our home, Alpha. I'm glad you're here."Alpha Ace stepped inside next to me. "I'm happy to be here, Ms. Filomena."My father sat on his favorite rocking chair, reading the news, and my mother looked up when we entered. Her eyes widened in surprise as she took me into her arms. "Oh my god, Gwen?!"Just like my sister, she ran towards me in tears. She embraced me for a long time before looking at my face with teary eyes. "We've heard wha
