DestinyI felt my heart drop in my chest as the thunderous explosion rocked the building. I gasped, "Wha...what was that?"Alpha Aldric's face hardened with an iron resolve. His piercing gaze burned through me like a laser as he sternly commanded, "Something must've happened outside. Maybe the Rogues are attacking. You stay right here, and I will take care of it."The rogues?The memories of my past came rushing back. The rogues were the reason why I lost my parents and sold to Alpha Aldric. Will I have to relive that nightmare all over again?"Wait, don't go. I am scared," I whimpered and grabbed his hand.Alpha Aldric's gaze softened as he looked at me. He caressed my cheek and answered, "Don't worry, I will be back soon." Then, he stood up and walked out of the room.My heart raced as I contemplated the situation. What was happening outside? I had a feeling that this was only the beginning of something much greater and sinister. I shuddered at the thought of what was to come.I sat

AriaIn the morning, Nathan and I met with Baron in the forest to plan our next move."I think it will be best if we could trap the Alpha King somehow. Maybe when he goes on his hunt next," Nathan said. "And after we chain him up, we can figure out how to kill him."Baron leaned forward, his eyes narrowing as he considered Nathan's suggestion. "It's a risky move," he said. "But it may be our only chance at taking him down."I nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of determination swelling within me. "Let's do it. What's the plan?"Baron laid out the details, his rough voice gruff with authority. We would set up a trap near the den where the Alpha King usually began his hunt. When the King emerged, we would spring the trap, catch him off-guard, and chain him up before he had a chance to retaliate.Nathan and I listened intently, nodding along as Baron spoke. It was a dangerous plan, but we were willing to take the risk."I don't know about this. We can't just attack him whenever. We hav

AldricThe sun dipped low in the sky as I led Destiny through the underbrush. Destiny, still adjusting to her new wolf form, stumbled occasionally on roots and rocks, but she was determined to learn.I couldn't help but admire her spirit."Alright, Destiny," I said, my voice growling softly in her mind. "Remember what I told you. Focus on your senses. Smell the air, listen for the heartbeat of the prey."Destiny paused, inhaling deeply. I could feel her excitement build within her."Good girl," I praised, not masking the pride in my voice. "Now, follow me. Stay low and quiet."We crept closer to our target and I couldn't help but notice how adorable Destiny looked in her wolf form. Her glossy white fur shimmered in the fading light, and her large, expressive eyes seemed even more captivating than when she was human, making her appear both innocent and fierce at the same time.Focus, Aldric, I scolded myself internally. Now was not the time to drool over my mate. I needed to teach her

AriaI could hardly look at his face. My cheeks flushed, and my eyes half-lidded with pleasure. "I can't believe we did this," I said, my voice still shaky from the intense release. "Why didn't you stop this?""Me?" Nathan chuckled. "Why would I stop it? Why didn't YOU stop it?"I don't know, but this shouldn't have happened because we are not mates, and I was saving myself for my mate. And you, you aren't over your mate's death yet," I wanted to ramble on, but Nathan captured my mouth in a kiss."I don't regret this," he murmured between kisses, nibbling my bottom lip. "Not for a second." The statement left his mouth barely audible but full of conviction, his hands trailing down my back, leaving goosebumps all over my body.My heart skipped a beat at his words. I leaned into him, kissing him softly before pulling away, my eyes searching his. "Neither do I," I breathed, my fingers playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. I could feel the exhaustion starting to catch up to me, bu

DestinyAlpha Aldric's amber eyes locked in mine. "Did you know about this?" He said in a low and menacing voice.I swallowed hard, unable to speak. I knew I couldn't lie to him, so I just shook my head to answer his question.Aria and Nathan stepped forward, their chains still rattling in their hands. "We know you killed Emily," they said in unison, their voices strong and unyielding.Alpha Aldric's expression hardened. "And how exactly did you come to this conclusion?" he hissed."I found your precious family crest near her body. How else would it get there, Alpha?" Nathan snarled.Alpha Aldric's eyes narrowed as he contemplated the accusation. After a moment of silence, he said, "Fine then. If you insist on believing that I killed Emily, then let us settle this with a fight."He released a powerful roar that echoed throughout the garden and lunged towards Aria and Nathan with blazing speed. They both jumped back in surprise and readied their chains to defend themselves against the
