"She is too fast! Isn’t she?" Dark commented as we ran after her, still not able to catch her. She would vanish out of my sight at every turn. Even though I tried catching up to her, for the last and final time, she was far away from me. Only her scent left a trail behind me to follow and continue my quick pace.I tried to mind-link with her, but this stubborn she-wolf shut me out every time. She was getting on my nerves and surely needed punishment, in our bedroom. After I got to know about Lennon and his motives for my Luna, I intended to keep her safe with me for every minute that passed between us. I wanted to keep her hidden inside the pack with security at the gate until I dealt with Lennon.I sped up across the woods and followed her scent. It was nothing to be worried about, but then I got a whiff of some foreign creatures around her too. The bloodsuckers, not the normal or pitiful humans.'Vampires!' Dark roared in my head like a thunderstorm.Fear thudded in my chest, realiz
There were only three things I wanted so far. First, I wanted to be the strongest witch on the continent. Currently, I wasn’t content with the power I had. Making potions and teleportation was only basic for most of the witches. The last thing I created didn’t even last for a couple of years. I might be possessing Aunt Crisanta’s resurrection power. It would be effective when I died with my own hands. But the power was not enough.Also, I was still dreaming of winning Alpha Calle’s heart and becoming his Luna. But before that could ever happen, I needed to seek out the real reason why he dumped me. Hell, I wasn’t even aware if he had already found his bitchy mate!I had to seek the fastest way to become stronger.I was in the library of my aunt's house, digging through books, trying to find something, anything, that could help me fulfill a specific goal. I had been researching magic and witchcraft for weeks now, desperate to learn how someone like myself—a young witch with relatively
Beta Beckett and his wife were still in their frozen spot when I turned at them. "Listen, both of you. Inform the whole pack that, from now on, I will be the head of this pack. You will address me as Luna Suzette. If someone fails to do so, they will taste the same fate as my father did. Understood?"They were still trembling as they nodded. "Y-yes, Luna Suzette."I walked out of the room, chin up, proud of what I had done. Do I feel guilty about eliminating them? Hell no! Whoever treats me or blocks my way to my goals would surely suffer for fighting me, making them pay for their actions against me.When I reached the balcony, I paused when suddenly, a powerful burst of energy filled the heavy air. Not before long, an ethereal aura surrounding her body stood before me."W-who are you?" I wondered.The mass of aura became clear until it formed an innocent-looking woman with long white hair that brushed the ground. Her clothing was like a fine blanket that only wrapped around her body.
I continued to run farther than was supernaturally possible—far away from Calle, leaving dust behind until finally, darkness enveloped whatever remained ahead of me. But then I halted as I heard the screams. At first, I thought it was only in my head, like a product of my own distress from what I had just gone through. But something wasn't right. Something dark had seemed to descend upon our town.Then the screams started to get louder and more desperate. I couldn’t just ignore the shrieking voices, so I turned in their direction. And then, as I ran with more speed, chasing the sound, I realized that the screams were coming from the direction of my school.What greeted me there made my blood run cold. Dark shadows filled every corner, surrounding students and teachers alike with their writhing tentacles of pure darkness. As I got closer, I could see them starting to attack the students. They were tearing them apart with their bare hands! It seemed like a living nightmare—one where no
I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked into the school clinic and saw Daphne lying motionless on a bed. Her clothes were torn and tinged with blood, and her face was pale as snow. She looked like she had been through hell herself. My heart ached at the sight of her; I felt so helpless, and there was nothing more that I could do for her at this moment other than simply be by her side."If only I had protected you better..." I crouched beside her, cradling her in my arms, as hot tears streamed down my cheeks onto hers—salty, stinging droplets of sadness that seemed to soak away into an eternity of blackness. My throat ached with the weight of all this sorrow, but still. I could not stop weeping for what I had done—or rather, for what she did because of us.All around me were trying to console and comfort me, but I couldn't hear them over the howling of my wolf within. It felt like a part of myself had been ripped away and that nothing would ever be alright again without her by my side
I woke up in a cold and smelly prison cell. My head was throbbing and it felt like I'd been drugged with something to make me weak. There were no windows or doors - just four walls of damp stone stretching far above my reach into the darkness.My first thought was that this had all been some kind of mistake. surely they couldn't be keeping me here? But then reality hit home as I realized where exactly I was; there would be no escape unless someone opened those heavy iron gates for me... and who knew when that might happen?I reached out my mind, searching for a way to use magic to break free from this place. So I reached for the soul stone hanging on my neck. But upon not touching anything, I looked down and frowned. “Shit! I forgot the Daphne slut has destroyed it!”My heart was racing abnormally and I was close to panicking when I walked back and forth, wrapping my arms around my body. “There’s still a way,” I muttered, then raised my chin, singing the same chanting song I use in
Anger ran through my veins as I followed Alpha Calle's scent down the hallway toward the garden. The wind chilled despite being summer and clouds began to shelter the night sky as if they were foretelling what was about to come.When I reached the garden, I saw Alpha Calle standing near a tall tree that resembled a fierce guardian angel keeping watch over all of us. As I approached, I felt my anger boiling inside even more—the realization that it was all true becoming clearer with each step closer I took toward him.Before I could even open my mouth to speak, however, Calle turned around and faced me with an almost sad expression in his eyes."She already told you, isn’t she?" Calle started, his voice filled with a mix of regret and sorrow.“Yes.” I clenched my teeth. “Would you mind telling me all the details?”He stood silent for several long moments before finally speaking, his voice low and steady in contrast to mine. "Daphne—she is my mate,” he admitted straight into my face. “Th
I took a sip of my morning espresso, letting the strong yet smooth flavor slide down my throat. My gaze roamed around the dining hall to find any signs of distress in other pack mates, but all I found were peaceful and contented souls—all except for one man who was walking towards me with an anxious expression plastered on his face."Good morning, Alpha." It was Beta Jaime, who had returned from an overnight patrol only a few minutes ago. He looked haggard, yet determined. There were dark circles under his eyes that told stories much darker than what could be seen by looking away from them."Beta Jaime," I said without taking any time for greetings or pleasantries—I already knew why Jaime wanted to speak with me this early in the morning. "What can I do for you?"Jaime took a deep breath, as if gathering enough courage to ask something crucial or dangerous. Finally, after some hesitation, he blurted out, "It’s Yvette—my wife. She disappeared five days ago, and I just came back home af
