The book I was reading wasn't in sight, so I went exploring the shelves until I found it at the top. I opened it and began searching for information about my strange kidnapper and my nephew's father. It was then that I came across a title that caught my attention: “The Rise of Harvey Bloodclaw.”As I delved into the reading, I got to know the remarkable achievements of Harvey Bloodclaw since his youth. He had stood out from a very early age, being the first in his tactical training, the best fighter in the pack, and acclaimed as an exceptional strategist. Surprisingly, he had even participated in military training, which shocked me even more.“That explains his level of arrogance!” I commented to myself as I read. However, the book didn't mention anything about Harvey's mother; it only indicated that she had died during childbirth.“It must have been tough growing up without a mother,” I murmured with compassion for the silver wolf, who had practically dragged me into the forest. “I m

“Will you return my Beta, or will it be necessary to take him by force?” A rumble echoed from the Alpha's chest, creating a tense atmosphere and causing some wolves to lower their heads before his power.“Well, the Beta belongs to us now... It was he who dared to attack us and fell!” A growl erupted from the rival wolf's chest, displaying his canines in threat.“I'm curious, Patrick,” the Alpha hissed as he approached slowly. All the wolves bared their canines in response. “How did a simple warrior like you manage to bring down a Beta like mine?”A sinister laugh echoed behind the warrior wolf, causing the Alpha to stop and observe. The Crescent Moon pack's Beta was there, wearing a mocking expression. His fangs were stained with blood, his fur was splattered with red, and the scent emanating from him was that of his beta, Oliver. Likely, the wolf before him was the torturer.“Vincent, you've decided to join the party?” Harvey growled with a sarcastic tone. “Have you had your share of

“Ma'am, from here on, you'll have to go alone to meet the king,” Roc whispered, trying to keep his voice low so as not to attract the beast's attention.“What?” I took a few steps back, trembling with fear. “You want me to go alone and face that creature?”They all nodded with expressions of apprehension.“And what should I do?” I asked anxiously. “Just let it tear me apart, like it did with the wolves down below.”“I'm sure the Goddess will be by your side.” Roc looked at the sky, making me follow his gaze towards the moon, which appeared larger and brighter that night.“Hell, I hope so!” I exclaimed angrily. “And know that if I die, I'll make sure to come back for revenge!”Wide-eyed, Roc turned to me. “Are you threatening a deity? Aren't you afraid of her wrath?”“Fear for my life is all I feel!” I replied, trembling. “Well, you all run off with your tails between your legs. I'll face this monster!”“Forgive us!” With their heads hung low, I saw the small group of wolves moves away

I sighed, aware that his way of interacting was quite pressing.“The Goddess ordered me to come to your aid, and...” I hesitated, my voice recalling the strange sensation I had felt when I looked at the moon while cleaning the study.“And?” His eyes sparkled with curiosity.“What I'm about to say is strange,” I pondered. “My inner wolf was restless, I felt like your wolf was howling for me, for us... We felt your despair. I felt like you were trapped in a desperate struggle. I felt your"“My desperation for control!” The alpha nodded in intrigue, completing my sentence. “How can you feel all of that?”“I... I don't know, Harvey,” I said weakly, unable to explain my intense emotions. “You don't like losing control to the beast, do you?”“I can't stand being anyone's puppet, not even my own beast's!” He growled softly, then settled back beside me, looking at the covered crack.The gusts of wind were getting stronger, and the thunder brought a magical mix to the forest. Without turning t

“Step back, demon witch, you do not have permission to interfere!” The Moon Goddess materialized in front of me in her lupine form, much larger than before. Even as a deity, I could sense her fear in the face of the creature that tormented me. “Unless you wish to incur the wrath of all the gods and destiny!”“Her magic belongs to us as well, weak Goddess!” The darkness seemed to intensify, making me tremble intensely. I cowered behind the goddess, seeking protection.The moonlight intensified, engaging in a fierce battle with the darkness as if they were vying for control of the environment. The goddess turned her gaze towards me and delivered her instructions with severity.“Perform the protection enchantment and summon your beast!” Her eyes seemed to pierce my soul as I closed my eyes, seeking a deep connection with my ancestors. It didn't take long for me to feel the warmth flowing through my veins and the ancestral voices echoing in my mind.“By the forces that dwell in the hidden
