Inside the room, Aurora had finally fallen asleep, her face serene like the calm surface of a lake. Her breathing was slow, deep, and the lunar lineage necklace rested on her chest like an anchor of light. It pulsed in silvery-blue hues, in sync with her heartbeats.

Cael remained by her side, standing now. The wolf within him did not rest. His instincts were on alert, as intense as on the night of the Guardians' attack. But something was different now. It wasn't a physical threat. It was an absence.

Something... unnatural.

He took a deep breath. The air seemed normal. But it wasn't. It was as if the world had stopped breathing for a second. Everything became... too still. Too quiet.

That's when he felt it.

An icy whisper slid through the cracks of the tall stained-glass window, passing through the protection enchantment like a serpent cutting through a veil. The magic trembled but did not resist. Something had entered.

Cael turned slowly, his golden eyes glowing intensely. The wolf ro

    The pale morning light filtered through the blinds of Sam's apartment, but the room still carried the weight of the previous night. Andreas woke with a heaviness on his ribs, only to realize that Sam’s arm—broad, warm, and possessive—acted like a manacle of flesh and bone. The bite on his shoulder throbbed, a rhythmic pulse serving as a constant reminder that he had been claimed by something not entirely human. Before Andreas could even sit up, Sam stirred, his amber eyes opening instantly, already laden with a predatory lucidity.“Where do you think you’re going?” Sam’s voice came out as a low growl, the roughness of sleep mixed with the natural authority of his kind.“Home, Sam. I have a life, a job, deadlines,” Andreas replied, trying to sound more confident than he felt. He tried to push Sam’s arm away, but it was like trying to move an iron bar.Sam sat up in bed, the musculature of his back moving under his skin like ripples on a dark lake. He did not look like a man concerned w

    The alley seemed too small to contain the energy radiating from Sam, now back in his human form but still buzzing with the residual electricity of the transformation. Andreas didn’t wait for a formal invitation or words of comfort. He advanced, his palms pressing against Sam’s broad, fever-hot chest, feeling every rigid muscle beneath skin that exuded the unmistakable scent of forest and desire. They moved as a single being toward Sam’s apartment, just a few meters away—an unobtrusive entrance leading to a space that smelled of old leather, books, and the wolf’s own essence.Once the door was locked, the outside world ceased to exist. There were no gentle preliminaries or courtesies. Sam grabbed the back of Andreas’s t-shirt and tore it upward in a single motion, the sound of ripping fabric acting like a starting gun for the fury consuming them. Andreas was thrown onto the bed, the mattress creaking under his weight, and before he could catch his breath, Sam was on top of him. The shi

    The bar suddenly seemed far too claustrophobic for Adreas. Sam's abrupt exit had left him in a vacuum of adrenaline and confusion, the taste of blood and whisky still tainting his palate. He couldn't stay still; his body acted on its own, driven by a desperate need for answers his common sense told him to forget. He pushed the heavy basement door and stepped out into the side alley, where the night air was cold and damp, contrasting violently with the suffocating heat inside.The neon lights flickered intermittently, casting long, distorted shadows against the peeling brick walls. Sam was there, standing in the middle of the darkness, his back to the exit. The leather jacket seemed too tight on him now, as if his body was in the process of expanding in unison with the environment. There was an absolute silence in the alley, a vacuum of sound that made Adreas's hearing painfully sharp."You came," said Sam, without turning around. His voice was no longer human. It was a sound from some

    The bar seemed to be shrinking, the walls closing in as the air grew increasingly thin. Andreas couldn't take his eyes off Sam, feeling like a satellite trapped in the orbit of a massive, dark planet. The challenge he had thrown down in the previous chapter—that declaration of lack of judgment—still hung between them, vibrating like a guitar string stretched to its limit. Sam didn't respond with words. Instead, he took a step forward, eliminating the little space that remained, pressing Andreas against the wooden edge of the bar.Sam's hand, large and charged with a temperature bordering on feverish, rose quick as a snake's strike, burying his fingers in the hair at the nape of Andreas's neck. The grip wasn't gentle; it was firm, almost painful, forcing the young man's head back and exposing the vulnerable line of his throat. Andreas gasped, but before he could process the shock, Sam's lips collided with his.It wasn't a movie kiss, choreographed and smooth. It was a collision of teet

    The bar continued to pulse around them, but for Sam, the world had narrowed to the frantic rhythm of Adreas's heart. Each beat echoed in his ears with deafening clarity, a persistent drumming that stirred centuries of instincts he fought to keep under control. Being a one-hundred-and-seventy-year-old shapeshifter meant bearing the burden of a patience no human would ever understand, but here, mere inches from that fair-skinned youth with the defiant gaze, his willpower felt like a frayed rope about to snap.Sam smelled the adrenaline mixed with desire emanating from Adreas. It was an intoxicating scent, more potent than any drug, making his canines throb at the gums and his senses sharpen to the point of pain. He watched the way Adreas's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard, the curve of his neck where the pulse was most visible. The beast within him, the wolf that lived beneath the surface of his twenty-nine-year-old skin, scratched at the walls of his consciousness, demanding to

    The air in the bar was thick, a mixture of cheap tobacco smoke, the sweet smell of spilled alcohol, and the sweat of bodies crowded under the low red lights of the basement. Adreas felt out of place, but strangely alert. At twenty-five, he had a raw beauty, something he didn't yet know how to handle with complete confidence, which translated into a constant motion of running his fingers through his dark, slightly unruly hair. He just wanted a drink, a break from the monotony of his design routine, something to make his blood run faster through his veins. What he didn't expect was that the blood wouldn't just run, but would boil the moment his eyes met that stranger in the darkest corner of the bar.He was there, isolated from the frenetic crowd, like a marble statue carved with dark intentions. Sam looked like a man in the prime of his twenty-nine years, with broad shoulders that seemed barely contained by a worn leather jacket and a posture that emanated a silent, dangerous authority
