LOGIN🪷ISORA🪷Esme was standing there with her arms crossed, glaring at me like I had personally offended her.She was a bit taller than me, and she used that height to look down at me with obvious disdain."Where are you going?" she demanded."To the Alpha's study," I replied, keeping my voice neutral."What for? To do what?"Her tone was sharp. Accusatory. Like she had every right to interrogate me."The Alpha sent for me," I said, trying to keep my voice even.Trying not to show how much I wanted to shove past her and tell her to fuck off."I do not know what he sees in you." She stepped closer, her eyes narrowing. "But I am watching. You better know your place."She gave me one last look, dripping with contempt, and walked away.I scoffed quietly once she was out of earshot.The desperate pick-me bitch thought I gave two fucks about her and the Alpha.She better let me go about my business before I lose my patience completely.Because I did not mind shov
🪷ISORA🪷I was walking out of the forest, my legs moving on autopilot while my mind raced a thousand miles per hour.What actually happened back there?I did not know.I could not make sense of any of it.One moment it was morning, bright and clear. The next, it was night. Complete darkness with a blood-red moon hanging in the sky like something out of a nightmare.And those beasts.Those massive, terrifying beasts with glowing red eyes.And Adrian. Adrian was okay.I had seen him standing there with Garrick, looking completely fine. No wounds. No blood. No signs that he had just been fighting for his life.But what happened to the two beasts?Did he kill them?My mind struggled with that possibility.No. No matter how strong Adrian was, he could not have killed both of them.I did not think so, anyway.That was a lycan I had seen. I was sure of it.I had read about them in the old pack texts when I was younger. Massive wolf-like creatures that stood on tw
🐺ADRIAN🐺We entered the pack house, and I went straight to my study.I needed to think. I needed to process what had just happened in those woods.Someone had triggered the curse deliberately. Someone had summoned the blood moon. Someone wanted me dead or worse, wanted to expose my weakness to the entire pack.And I was going to find out who.I sat down at my desk, running a hand through my hair, trying to organize my thoughts.The door opened without knocking.I did not even need to look up to know who it was.Only one person in this pack was stupid enough to walk into my study without permission."Adrian, I heard you came back early and the guards were talking about strange things in the woods. I was…""Go back and knock."I cut through whatever rubbish she was saying, my voice flat and cold.I was still on edge right now. I was still riding the aftermath of the shift, the violence, the curse tearing through me.And Esme should not test my patience.Not tod
🐺ADRIAN🐺Seeing that dead wolf was not normal.The moment my fingers touched its cold fur, the curse tore through me like a wildfire.Pain.Blinding, excruciating pain that started in my chest and spread outward until every nerve ending in my body was screaming.Killian roared in my head, violent and desperate.The pain was too much for him. Too much for both of us.Someone was deliberately intensifying the curse. I knew it with absolute certainty.This was not natural. This was not how it usually felt.This was targeted, intentional and weaponized.And then the world went dark. One moment it was morning, sunlight filtering through the trees. The next, it was night.Complete and absolute darkness that should not exist.And then the moon rose. Not just any moon.The blood moon.Red and massive and wrong, hanging in the sky like an accusation.The curse exploded inside me.I was fighting not to shift in front of my people. My hands and body shaking.I was fig
The thought sent a spike of panic through my chest so sharp I gasped.The urge to go back was primal and overwhelming.The bond fired up inside me, pulling and pulling and pulling.It hurt. It hurt so badly I thought I was going to die.It felt like I was going to shift even though I knew I could not.Like my wolf was trying to claw her way out of my skin to get back to him."Run faster, Isora!"Asher was still dragging me, his grip on my arm painful."No!" The word tore out of me before I could stop it. "We need to save him!"What the actual fuck. Save him?If he died, I should be happy. I should be celebrating.This was what I wanted, was it not?For Adrian to die?"Did you see what you want to fight?" Asher yelled, still pulling me. "Alpha Adrian is not there!"A loud growl shook the whole forest.The ground trembled beneath our feet.Trees swayed like they were caught in a hurricane.Everywhere was dark except for the red moon hanging impossibly in the sky.Fear hit me deep.Prima
🪷ISORA🪷"Asher here was just teaching me how to aim, Alpha."I said it in what I prayed sounded like an innocent voice.Casual. Unbothered. Like I had not just been two seconds away from putting an arrow through his back.Adrian stared at me for a long moment, his sea-blue eyes boring into mine like he could see every lie I had ever told.Then his gaze shifted to Asher."And I am just correcting what the dullard is teaching you."His voice was cold. Cutting deep.He turned fully to face Asher, and the look he gave him could have frozen water solid."And why are you breaking out of formation?"Asher stammered, his face going pale."Please pardon me, Alpha. It is my first time going hunting with you and I did not know I was…"He blurted it out senselessly, the words tumbling over each other in his panic.I would not blame him.Adrian was ruthlessly intimidating when he wanted to be.And right now, he wanted to be.The look he gave Asher made him shut up mi
