“Alpha, please come back!” I spoke louder, trying to reach his lucidity.The beast emitted a sound akin to a sinister laugh. “The Alpha isn't here!”He stopped pacing back and forth, raising his predatory eyes in my direction, and advancing toward me.I leaped to the side, transforming back into human form, aware that I now smelled even more like prey. The beast shook its head from side to side, thirsting for my flesh. My transformation seemed to have provoked it into attacking me.I raised my hands as he charged towards me, stopping his head in my hands. A light warmed the palms of my hands, keeping the beast paralyzed and growling in frustration.“From the darkness, I will separate you,And for the purity of your heart, I will guide you.Rebirth, Alpha, with nobility and reason,And bring back our connection, COME BACK TO ME, ALPHA.”The light shot through the wolf, enveloping his entire body and warming his fur. His malevolent eyes were fading, giving way to the Alpha's bluish-gray

“Will they treat me with hostility?” I asked drowsily as I opened my mouth and nuzzled my head against Alpha's bare chest.“Likely, I'll go with a threat and a proposal,” he lazily responded, stroking my hair.“Is it really necessary to threaten right from the start? Why not propose something first?” I murmured softly as sleep began to envelop me.“Just going there without killing anyone is already a proposal,” he said, bidding me goodnight brusquely. “Goodnight, human.”“Goodnight, Mr. Arrogant!”I withdrew into his warm embrace, feeling safe. However, restlessness accompanied me throughout the night, like a cold draft. I opened my eyes and saw a figure on the balcony of the room. Silently, I got up, and as I approached, I realized that Alpha was asleep. I sniffed the air but detected no scent of danger.I decided to head towards the balcony, but I stopped abruptly when I recognized the figure.“Agatha!” My tears flooded my eyes, and I ran toward her.“Hello, my sister,” she said, tu

“Did only you see it?” Denver whispered to the witch, discreetly pointing in my direction.“The mark of the reclusive witches!” Elara nodded. “Well, only the Alpha and the Hybrid can go through; the others, let them freeze in the cold!”I was about to object, but the Alpha abruptly cut me off.“Come on, Sophie!” He grabbed my elbow and practically dragged me into the city.“We can't leave them out in this cold!” I protested, frustrated. “Do you want them to die?”The Alpha responded sarcastically, “They're wolves with warm coats. They'll survive until we return.”“You really don't care about anyone, do you?” I shrugged in frustration.He looked at me seriously, as if he wanted to say something, but chose to ignore it.“I don't have time for this,” he growled softly, moving away to stand beside the gray-haired witch.Finally, we arrived at a cozy house, and Denver opened the door to give us space. He stared firmly at the Alpha, who completely ignored him, while I walked past him, raisi

“DAMN IT!” I roared, recalling the wolf that fell from the cliff. However, my greatest folly was accepting to be his Luna, surrendering my purity to a wolf who saw me only as the satisfaction of his primal instincts.“Maybe I should let the darkness consume me.” I growled and resigned. I entered the room as I planned my next steps. Soon, I would be among the witches, determined to master my power and become strong enough to protect both myself and Conan. I was determined to escape from the Alpha and the darkness that surrounded us.At the door, the Lycan King approached, noticing my tension. “What do you want here?” I snarled, irritated.“You're my Luna, and this room won't be yours anymore. We'll share the bed in my room,” he declared, shrugging as he approached.“Alpha,” I said, turning to face him, feeling his proximity so close that I could feel his warm breath on my face. “I want to revoke my choice!”“That's not possible,” he smiled, reaching out his hands to touch my hair, twir

POV: SOPHIEAfter Harvey's strange outbreak, the days passed quickly without any sign of him. On the third night, I gave up on going to his room and stayed in mine, waiting for him to come and explain, but that never happened.I was playing with Conan, who had grown a lot. Time flew by, and my heart ached every time I thought about having to stay away from his innocence and love for months. It was a tough decision but necessary, considering that darkness threatened to engulf him as well, and I wouldn't allow that to happen.When Denver returned with me after healing my ears, he told me about the legend. None of it made sense in my head. If all that were true, then our mother used us as pawns for the shadows. Why would she do that? Her behavior had always been peculiar and hard to understand, but to give away her own daughters?I sighed, watching Conan take his first steps and clapping when he succeeded. On the sixth day, he walked down the long hallway toward the Alpha's office. I let
