Ares, with a determined step, reached the old oak tree and looked for his clothes, he walked towards the mansion and entered, he went up the stairs and walked the corridor until he reached his room, his gaze swept the room feeling empty, and a sigh escaped his lips as he let himself fall on the bed with a mixture of emotions inside.Surprise flooded his senses, for now he understood that fate had attached him to his mate by chance, not because he had perceived the link. The thought of being the destined partner of that little she-wolf who had appeared in his life unexpectedly filled him with uncertainty and desire.In the dim light of the room, Ares searched his mind for a way to approach her without arousing fear or distrust. His heart was pounding, and as he sank into thought, he knew that the path to the heart of his unexpected mate would be a challenge he was willing to face patiently.The next morning, Ares woke up with dark circles under his eyes that testified to a night of rest

In the forest, near the Vilkas herd, ran an exhausted, thirsty woman; He felt like his body couldn't take it anymore. Despite being a witch, she did not escape the evil of a malicious wolf who caught her off guard and punished her to serve as a slave in bed. He ran aimlessly, out of breath. She had run all night, tired and without vision, and threw herself at the foot of an old oak tree.At dawn, Huldra would go out into the woods to stretch her legs. He ran at full speed to the edge of the herd and climbed a mountain. Maya took control to watch the sun come in. After being there for a long while, when he was about to transform, he saw sniffer dogs coming in his direction in the distance."Who were they looking for?" He looked to one end and saw a woman lying at the foot of an old oak tree. He hurried down the mountain. When he reached his height, he crouched down. She looked like she was dead. He took her hand and placed two fingers on her wrist. He could tell she was alive. He quickl

Perseus grumbled. It had only been a month since his inner wolf had appeared, and he wanted to prove that he could help his brothers in battle."Galilee, tell me where they kept you." Inside the mansion or outside?"In a little wooden house."I suppose they're all together at night.""Yes, I alone managed to spend two nights with him. He just used us. He'd call one of his men and they'd bring us inside the house." I remembered a drain of water that comes from the rains and passes under the wall, flowing into the river. But it's covered by two grilles, although you can go in and out there. That drain is close to the house. I didn't use it because I sneaked out the other side and into the thick forest.That same afternoon, Maya called Danna to inform her of the injustices being committed in the incoming herd. Maya dressed in a tight-fitting black suit.In the night, Perseus showed up with a black SUV and was anxious, while Maya wanted to find out what was going on inside that pack. Perse

They arrived at the herd at dawn. The faint light of the new day bathed the place. Perseus stopped the chariot at the entrance of the herd, and Maya, with firmness in voice, gave instructions to a group of guardian warriors."Gentlemen, you can't let people who don't belong to the pack pass. They know that this herd has gone through evil and suffering. They should exercise caution and care, and everyone should be alert to any potential threats. I need to be notified if someone were to interrupt this herd without permission.All the warriors stood firm in the presence of Maya. They were warriors from the northern lands."Beta Maya, I'll keep you posted if anything happens," the warrior leader said."Thank you, Gabriel. I know I'm counting on you and everyone.Perseus continued on his way and parked at the mansion. The women came down trembling; They were emaciated and malnourished. Maya watched them with compassion as they got out of the vehicle, and a disturbing question flashed throug

Maya was in a constant state of alert; Scarcely two days had elapsed since the perilous rescue, and his eyes had scarcely known rest. He feared a possible attack on the herd.The rescued women had quickly adapted to their new home. The newfound freedom filled them with happiness, and little by little they began to leave behind the traumas of the past, Galilea kept busy in the mansion, lending her support to Maya.Maya was in her office when, suddenly, she received an unexpected call from one of the guardians guarding the entrance of the pack."Beta Maya, Alpha Sander is at the entrance with a group of wolves. He has requested to inspect the herd and claims that a group of women have stolen from his territory. He's determined to find them and make them pay for what they've stolen. I follow his orders not to let him pass, but he is an authoritarian man."Tell him I'm going there, I, as the alpha regent, will take care of him personally," Maya, furious, decided to take matters into her ow

Maya let out a big sigh, her eyes reflecting a mixture of boldness and fear. Despite his apparent firmness, he knew he was in a delicate situation. He feared that Sander's arrival might unleash a massacre in the pack. She was not willing to allow the women to be taken away. With his heart pounding in his chest, he watched Sander drift off into the distance. Then, he voiced out loud."Thank you, my friend, for being just in time. I didn't expect you, but you showed up at the right time," he said gratefully."Friend, I didn't tell you I was coming, because talking to Eros, I decided to come and bring some puppies to protect the pack of vermin like the one that just left," she explained, trying to justify her surprise arrival in the midst of the chaos.Maya felt that she was being penetrated with a look full of desire. When his mind and body were already relaxed, an unmistakable aroma flooded his senses: it was the essence of his mate. For a moment, he wanted to run away, to run into the

In the blue pack, Ares stood in an inconspicuous position, hidden in the shadows, staring intently at Gina and Eos. Who were amused playing in the pond, while Orion, experienced increasing irritation, and jealousy at not being able to be near his mate. Every second that passed without his closeness was torture. Anxiety consumed him, and he was at the crossroads of whether or not he should approach her. In the midst of his inner conflict, he gave a deep sigh, and his feet moved forward on their own, leading to his mate."Uncle Ares," Eos exclaimed with joy in his eyes, stretching out his little arms to him for a hug. Then his curious eyes fell on the pond, where brightly colored fish were swimming. "Look, Uncle Ares! He hummed with a hint of happiness in his voice. They're like the ones we see in the river of the Dawn herd, but those are much bigger.Gina was sitting on the edge of the pond with her feet dipped in the cool liquid. When she sensed the presence of her mate, her heart bega

Four men were arguing in a mountainous area on the edge of the far south. The tension was palpable in the air. The human mercenary, with his eyes cold as steel, stared at Sander, this man was an arms dealer and a werewolf dealer. Anger flashed in his eyes as he spoke in a hoarse, menacing voice."You promised me that you would bring me two she-wolves as payment for the goods I have given you.Sander, with an expression of anguish, was running his hand over his head, trying to find an answer that could save him from this situation. He knew that he had made a mistake by allowing those nine she-wolves to escape and end up in the hands of the kings of the region. His mind began to spin, worrying about the possible consequences of his negligence."If those werewolves talk about my shady dealings, the kings will come for me," Sander thought fearfully.The other two men watching the confrontation exchanged nervous glances."Give me a chance and I'll get you a pure she-wolf," Nick let out with

Ares walked down the hall and she followed. They climbed the stairs together until they reached his room. Once there, he put his hand on his cheekbone and spoke."We're just going to talk more privately. I promise I won't do anything you don't want to do, okay?"All right," she replied calmly.He turned the handle and ushered in. Gina walked up and down the room, with hesitant steps, until she reached the edge of the bed where she sat, her legs shaking like jelly.Ares entered his room and closed the door behind him, with slow steps, walked silently to Gina and knelt in front of her. His eyes reflected a deep plea as he whispered to her."My little wolf, trust me, tell me why you're like this." If you'll let me be your mate, I'm going to take care of you as the most valuable thing I have.Once again, heart-wrenching weeping filled the room. Ares, desperate, clenched her hands tightly, but remained silent, allowing Gina to break free."Forgive me because I'm weak and insecure," Gina whi

Meanwhile, in Vilkas's pack, Maya had made it safely to the door of her room. He didn't know how to act at that moment, as he didn't want to give in to the overwhelming desire for his mate. He whispered quietly, trying to control his emotions."Goddess Selene, you're really mean to me. I don't want to be dominated by my mate. Why doesn't the spell work?Years ago, on one of Maya's journeys to the Dawn pack, she lent her aid to a hybrid woman, half wolf, and half sorceress. At that moment, Maya had asked him for a special potion: one that could hide his scent during his period of heat. As a warrior surrounded by wolves, she needed this protection. The kind hybrid woman had agreed to help her, and since then, Maya had lived in peace, trusting in that option.However, since he perceived the essence of his mate, the magic had lost its effect. It seemed that this male wolf had very hot blood that defied any magical artifice. Maya was in a dilemma, as the potion that had protected her so muc
