The wolf's scream of agony echoed as it fell to the ground, electrocuted, soon ceasing to move with blood flowing from all orifices.“Damn you, scoundrel!” Elijah glared with hatred inside the energy shield surrounding Douglas and his warriors, reminiscent of those Lucian favored.It seemed he had come prepared with some magical trinkets.“Go do your thing. We can't hold on forever, so I hope you find something worthwhile,” Douglas said privately to his Beta, who nodded, blending into the surrounding wolves and disappearing from enemy sight.“I knew you were nothing but a treacherous rat. What did Lucian promise you for turning into his bitch?” Douglas looked at him scornfully, shifting the focus to him and angering the other Alphas.“Do you think you'll achieve what you want? I won’t fall for your trap; I’d like to see how long your little shield lasts,” Elijah retorted, trying to stay calm though genuinely furious.By now, he thought everything would be more uncomplicated and that
A silent shadow raced through the forest until it reached a mansion hidden in the middle of nowhere, heavily shielded by spells and protections. He had nearly consumed an entire bottle of that woman's blood, so for a limited time, he was like a true shadow.He slipped into Lucian's mansion, unsure where the fabled golden egg he was searching for was. It was likely in a treasure room or something similar.Voices in the kitchen indicated that people were gathered there. Though he was supposed to be hidden, it was best not to take risks, mainly since powerful beings lived in this house.A familiar scent hit his nose, and he headed towards one of the rooms on the second floor.A shadow slipped under the door and snuck into a dark corner of the room.He was astonished to recognize the Omega looking out the window towards the forest.It was the same one who had done Estela the favor of attacking in those caves, where Alpha Elijah nearly caught him.Fortunately, he had taken precautions t
"Aisling, please don't expose yourself, I can't lose any of you," Olivia pleaded, hugging her tightly. She also wanted to go but knew she would only make things harder for Lucian and Michael."Michael, be careful on the way; there might be traps; they could ambush you at the exit," Nagy said as she accepted a deep kiss from her mate.Everyone was fearful and anxious.No matter how much power they had when so much was at stake, especially their loved ones, it was natural to fear and hesitate."Don't worry, I'll get there safely, and we'll sort everything out quickly. Please stay safe, and our pup too. Remember, your life is my life," he said, transforming into his massive, scarred wolf form.He carried a small girl on his back who hid the golden egg of discord, the Dragon's egg.Michael sped through the grove, heading towards where he felt Lucian, as the dark, eerie forest enveloped him.He felt he was being followed but didn't stop to fight.Amath moved with agility and certainty, ca
Two massive, fierce, and lethal wolves, one white and the other black, streaked through the night towards the mansion.Lucian trusted his Alpha sons to protect their women."I have Charlie here, and he's willing to be exchanged," Aisling told Lucian."Aisling, but Charlie...""Don't worry, dad. Everything will be alright. We've already discussed it," she reassured him. Lucian looked at his young daughter anxiously before glancing beyond the barrier at Ophelia.He felt he had failed them both."Here is what you desire," Lucian told Douglas as Aisling pulled the shiny golden egg from her pocket.The Alpha's eyes lit up with sick greed.Everything was worth it to gain that power.That mysterious man, calling himself the Dragon's servant, had not only surprised him with the egg's location but also revealed its power, making himself indispensable as the only one who could hatch it.Douglas laughed inwardly at his stupidity; he didn't need him, thanks to meeting him. He knew all this time t
Ophelia's poor mind couldn't handle so much pressure and fear."Aisling, focus on your task, I'll take care of your sister! She'll never forgive us if we can't help her, mate!"Lucian roared, taking charge of Ophelia, and Aisling looked at the massacre inside the shield.She could only get Ophelia out with Charlie's help because Ophelia carried her blood—they were sisters, and Aisling's blood was tied to her Dragon.That's why it was necessary for Charlie to be near Ophelia and within the shield.But getting Elijah out like that was impossible for her at the moment.She could only try to force the magic shield open, and breaking a magical artifact wasn't that simple.Aisling stood in front of the shield, extended her hands, and followed all the teachings of her Nahara mother.Her electric purple eyes showed the use of her power.Her hair fluttered in the wind, and the atmosphere grew dense.The shield wobbled under the pressure, but it persisted.Aisling continued to channel her power
"Ancient, we can't find the Alpha or his Beta. Apparently, they escaped before the shield fell.""How is that possible?!" Lucian exclaimed, but then he remembered that strange power that had thwarted all his plans and had never seen before."Search everywhere. Marco, what about the enemy warriors inside the shield?""Ancient, there's none left, only the wolf they were threatening Alpha Cohen with; we have him imprisoned, thinking he's important to the Alpha," the redhead's voice echoed in his mind."Good decision, don't let that man escape under any circumstances.""You stay in charge; I'll take some warriors to patrol the surroundings and track down Alpha Douglas."And with that, the enormous Lugh disappeared into the forest's trees.It was deep into the night, but dawn would break in a few hours."Lugh, thoroughly track those two sons of bitches; we need to find them," Lucian was furious.Seeing so much happening before his eyes and being unable to do anything had given him a sense
"I have gathered you all here because there is a very important matter to resolve," Lucian announced to those present at the meeting he had convened."Currently, Alpha Douglas's pack is leaderless. It's one of the largest packs in the North. I want us to conquer it," he said straightforwardly, and the warriors present ignited with the flame of adventure in their hearts.Power was what most attracted men, and they were no exception."The Beta we captured gave me all the details about the warriors left in charge and their weaknesses.""In fact, the Alpha took his best arsenal; it's only a matter of time before another surrounding pack realizes and challenges them.""But, could that man have lied?" Mael questioned.Of the twin Alphas, he was the older and more serious, always with his face frozen in the same intimidating expression, unlike his brother, who was the more relaxed of the two."He did not lie; I can vouch for that. I know many think I was too lenient," Lucian said, scanning t
Cintra felt like he had fallen into a cavern of icy water and darkness.He struggled to escape with all his might, swimming to grasp the precious air, but with each second, he was drowning.The agony was so intense that for a moment, he wanted to stop fighting and succumb to closing his eyes and resting.But at the surface of the dark hole, someone was crying, calling for him, missing him, and demanding he come back.Cintra's eyes, heavy as tons, opened.His mate was calling him, and he couldn't give up; he couldn't fail her again, leave her alone with their pup; he had to return, so he began to fight with all his might to free himself from the cold arms of death.Elijah opened his eyes after who knows how many days of recovery and has been, on several occasions, between life and death.It took some time for him to focus on the white ceiling and realize that he was lying down.Everything hurt, but his chest hurt the most.The room was almost in shadows, yet he felt her, another breath
