NARRATORÁlvaro ran through the forest, weaving in a zigzag, using the tall trees as obstacles.He could hear the neighing of horses, the crunch of leaves being crushed beneath their heavy hooves as they pursued him—a fox fleeing through the underbrush.The river wasn’t far; maybe he still had a chance to dive into its depths and swim away, despite the danger.He could smell it now, almost see it. Then—a sharp crack in the air.As he emerged into a clearing, the horses gained the upper hand over the two legs of an elemental.“Aaaggrr!” he growled as something coiled around his boots and yanked him backward with brutal force.His body slammed forward, hitting the ground hard, skidding through dirt and grass. He barely managed to shield his face, arms bracing against the rough impact and scraping drag.The sheer momentum and strength of the horse’s pull overpowered him completely.No matter how hard he struggled, no matter how desperately he fought to free himself from the whip binding
NARRATORAldo hoisted Gordon onto his back like a sack of potatoes, while Tomas carried the remaining crate.Now, more than ever, they needed to find out exactly what this dangerous magic was. They ran nonstop, communicating mentally the entire time.No matter what, if they kept going like this, they’d be captured.“Leave me behind, damn it! Get out of here! If you stay, they’ll take you prisoner too! Warn the Duchy!”“Shut up, damn it!” Tomas shouted at Gordon. He dropped the crate, placing it at the river’s edge.This area was deep, the currents strong enough to drag the crate and the injured man away. But they didn’t dare throw themselves in and try to swim across."Climb on—quickly! Try to reach the other side and find help, go!" Aldo lowered him from his back.Gordon could barely stand, but he pushed through."No, no, let’s all go—wait!" Gordon protested, realizing their intentions. Aldo and Tomas couldn’t waste time explaining."We can take care of ourselves. The crate won’t hol
NARRATORThey were trapped. They had managed to slip into the cave, but it was just another dead end."Aldo, staying here is worse.""Wait, shhh, don’t make too much noise. Let’s just wait, Tomas. It took us a hell of a time to find this hiding spot—maybe it’ll be just as hard for them," Aldo said to his restless friend."But the dogs…"He had barely mentioned them when their sharp wolf ears picked up the sound of claws scratching against rock."Stay calm," Aldo ordered, moving closer to the faint light that seeped through the narrow entrance. His predatory gaze locked onto the outside, his eyes gleaming dangerously.The dogs had caught their scent, but the massive boulder blocking the entrance had stopped them. They weren’t as big or agile as the giant wolves hiding inside.—Ggggrrr…Aldo’s wolf let out a low, menacing growl.Cross this threshold, and I will rip you apart.No matter how brave those hounds were, they instantly sensed the beast lurking in the shadows—and their instinct
NARRATOR"Miss, you shouldn't be here, what…?""Leave and let me be alone with the prisoner," Alexia said arrogantly."But the general…""I said get out, that's an order! It's obvious you haven't gotten anything out of him. I'll try my luck," she interrupted, exasperated.Though he wasn't entirely convinced, the foreman left, throwing the poker into the embers and shooting a murderous glare at Álvaro.He opened the tent curtain and stepped outside.He hated taking orders from that little woman, but there was no choice; a pussy and a pair of tits pulled harder than a cart, and she had the general Arthur completely under her spell."Darling, what a surprise to have you visit," Álvaro tried to give her a crooked smile."Cut the nonsense, Álvaro, you're finished. Don't think Arthur is that merciful, but if you talk, there's a chance. Help me, and I'll speak on your behalf. Join this side…""So that's why you left me for that asshole," he let out a rough laugh.The burning in his throat wa
VALERIA"Are... are you sure, Esther?" I ask with a broken voice.My heart races, filled with happiness."Very sure, Luna. You're pregnant.""Why haven't I been able to smell it, or his father?" I ask, worried."It's very recent, perhaps that's why. Give it a few more days and you should be able to sense the pheromones."She replies, and I nod, my eyes blurred with tears.I am the Luna of the "Autumn Forest" pack.Three years ago, I married the man I love madly, despite not being destined mates, my Alpha Dorian.I've given everything to be the perfect Luna, the pillar he can lean on. However, a shadow looms over my marriage—the topic of an heir.I've never been able to get pregnant, and I admit I don't share the bed with Dorian as often. But I know his duties as Alpha keep him extremely busy and stressed."Please, don't tell anyone in the pack. I want to surprise my husband.""Don't worry, Luna, I won't say anything. Congratulations!" She smiles at me, and I return the smile, overflow
VALERIAHe bites my thigh viciously and drags me beneath his body, controlling me mercilessly.I try to resist, to call for help, my hands clutching my stomach, trying to protect my pup, but his claws, like deadly weapons, pierce my skin, tearing apart my small, vulnerable body.I have to raise my arms instinctively when his sharp claws aim for my face, and I scream in agony as a deep wound slices across my cheek from my forehead.Leaving my belly exposed, he struck our child."Nooo, not the pup, please, Dorian, not my son!"Tears poured endlessly from my eyes as I begged him, but his canines tore through my flesh, and his claws dug into the depths of my insides with chilling cruelty, seeking to rip out the life growing inside me.I don’t know how long this agony lasted—I sobbed, pleading as long as I could speak.The pain in my entire body was unbearable, but worse was the pain in my soul, bleeding and shattered.I was discarded on the ground like trash, on the edge of a precipice, m
VALERIAI hear piercing screams, the sound of shattering glass, a savage roar, an Alpha's growls, struggling, and fighting.Something hot splashes against my face and arms.My claws shred, and my canines tear.I can't stop. I can't. Rage consumes me from the inside, demanding release.I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not conscious of myself.All I know is that when I regain control of my body, the first thing I see is my blood-soaked hands.I'm kneeling on the floor, everything around me drenched in red, wreckage, and pieces of what once was a powerful Alpha—Dorian.What have I done? What in the name of the Goddess have I done?!I stare at his severed head, lying just a meter away from me.Those honey-colored eyes still stare back at me in frozen terror, and I feel bile rising in my throat.I vomit to the side, unable to hold it back, disgusted by this scene of death and violence.Did I do all this? There's no one else here.I scan the area, not knowing where Sophia went. The only th
VALERIA His entire demeanor screamed, I'm the damn master of everything here, the absolute ruler.I immediately lowered my head, trembling.It didn’t matter that I lacked an inner she-wolf— the power radiating from that man felt like it could suffocate you, crush your soul, and he wasn't even standing that close to me.He was a Lycan, the superior species of werewolves, the ultimate evolution, and I was almost certain this was the most powerful of them all—Aldric Thorne, the Lycan King."Sasha, take out the trash and make sure my next personal maid isn’t a scheming whore, or she'll lose more than her head," his deep, cold, and intimidating voice echoed, followed by the sound of footsteps retreating."This is a disaster. That's the fifth one in two months. I don’t know what goes through these girls' heads. I warned them," the housekeeper muttered as she approached, pulling a small vial from the dead woman’s hand."Another one who tried to drug the King with an aphrodisiac. Idiot. I'll
