“Why did the witch and her voices flee when I summoned her? What was her domain over darkness? Why didn't the goddess respond to my questions? Why even the deity feared that shadowy being?” Ah, curse it! I roared in frustration. “So many unanswered questions!”I decided to take a relaxing bath and rest, aware that I wouldn't find the desired answers, at least not in that state. It didn't take long for me to drift off to sleep. I found myself in front of a conifer tree with a viscous, black liquid oozing from its bark, emitting a scent of decay. I covered my nose, feeling it burn, when a voice emerged from behind me.“You resemble her!” The voice was the same as the sinister woman in the forest, and my body shivered, my hair standing on end. I turned into a defensive stance, facing the supernatural being before me, her malicious smile shrouded in darkness, her hands dancing through the air.“Here, no one can save you, Sophie!” The demonic witch cast a noose-shaped spell that trapped my

“It was a need ingrained in my being.” Sophie pushed me with force, delivering a slap to my face, bringing me back to consciousness. “I had momentarily succumbed to the mating urges.”“I'm sorry, Alpha,” she approached, trembling, “I didn't mean to hurt you.”I nodded.“You did nothing wrong!” I smiled, getting closer and bringing her to my side on the bed for her to rest. “Rest, tomorrow you will start your training, and I won't take it easy on you.”“This is the lenient King I know,” Sophie teased before sighing, “I didn't mean to hit you.”“I enjoy a few slaps,” I joked, looking at her daringly. “Remember, human, you chose to be mine!”She suddenly got up and stared at me.“What does that mean to you?” She furrowed her brow. “And don't even tell me, you persuaded me!”Crossing her arms, I laughed at her posture.“You'll find out soon!” I replied, keeping the mystery.I guided her back to bed and, gently, caressed her soft hair until she finally succumbed to sleep. Likewise, I staye

As my mind quieted, I began to perceive an ethereal light in the depths of my consciousness. This is light, white with delicate silver and iridescent tones, gradually intensified, surrounding me with a soft and comforting glow.At that moment, a majestic figure began to appear in my mind—a she-wolf with fur as white as snow and unusual eyes that gleamed with ancient and profound intelligence. The wolf moved gracefully toward me in my mind, and I realized that she was connecting with me in a way that transcended understanding.With burning determination, I opened my eyes and skillfully began my climb, relying only on my claws and the strength flowing through my muscles. My vision was incredibly sharp, allowing me to assess distant dangers and identify secure spots on the rock where I could grip. The Alpha, by my side, watched in admiration, even if he didn't express it in words; his emotions were as transparent to me as mine were to him.It was as if I had established a connection beyo

“You didn't hit me, Sophie. Sometimes, you need to release your emotions,” he smiled and proudly admired the fissure that had formed in the ground.“Were you really willing to let me hit you?” I asked, perplexed, while clenching my fists.“I've told you, I enjoy taking a few punches from time to time.” He laughed and approached, running his fingers over my eyes. “You can unleash all your pain and anger on me, Sophie, I can take it. But after that, compose yourself, fight, and don't let your guard down!”“I could have disfigured your face.” I pushed his hands away from my face, frustrated. I didn't know how to explain my reasons, but I didn't want to harm the Lycan King.“Compassion is a weakness,” he reflected, evaluating me. “Not even with me can you have pity, Hybrid!” He returned to his circle and transformed to attack me.“Why are you in wolf form? I didn't bring you into the circle.” I returned to mine, intrigued, assuming a defensive posture.“You knocked me down. Nothing more f

Observing the surroundings, Sophie shuddered at the thought of what was happening there with the enemies.“She didn't survive long,” Beta remarked as he passed by Sophie. “Harry fell for my sister, and he's not known for being kind. It didn't take long for the news to arrive that Helena didn't survive his cruelties.”“I'm so sorry, Oliver!” Tears welled up in Sophie's eyes.“Me too. That's why, hybrid, in response to your question, yes, I am loyal to our Lycan King. He doesn't tolerate injustices, doesn't allow others to come and take what is rightfully ours, and would never trade his wolves away!” The gleam of pride in Oliver's eyes confirmed his admiration for Harvey.Sophie nodded.POV: SOPHIE“This place is eerie,” I commented as I approached the board covered in information about wolves and witches. My attention was drawn to a single highlighted word: “legend.”” Legend of the Twins?” I looked curiously at the Beta, who approached and casually covered the board.“There are countl
