LOGINLisa's POVI flinched. The words felt like a blade driven into my chest. Yet Derek didn't react, not even slightly.In fact... He looked amused.Then finally he spoke. "What makes you think I can be killed?" The room froze. Even I stared at him.The confidence in his voice made my heart skip.Rasha's chest rose sharply, slowly she turned toward him. "What did you say?"Derek tilted his head. Then shrugged. "For what it's worth," he began casually, "everyone in this room aside Lisa is at my mercy."The elders stiffened. The guards tightened their grips on their weapons.Derek continued. "I'm just one reason away from killing you all."The silence afterward felt suffocating. Several elders looked horrified, others looked offended.Rasha looked frightened for the briefest second.Then anger buried it. "You might be strong," she said. "But you can't take all of us.""Yes he can." The words left my mouth before I could stop them.Everyone turned toward me.My heart pounded. "I've seen firs
Lisa’s POVHe wasn't bound. That immediately caught my attention.The guards had weapons, yet none of them were touching him.In fact, they seemed determined to keep a safe distance from him.Derek looked completely relaxed, almost bored.His eyes swept across the room before finding mine. For a brief second, our gazes locked.His expression didn't change, but somehow I felt calmer.The elder spy immediately stood. His eyes narrowed.The room became so quiet I could hear my own breathing. He walked slowly toward Derek, studying him.Examining every detail. Derek remained perfectly still. The elder circled him once, then twice.The confidence on his face slowly began to disappear.Rasha frowned. “Well?”The elder didn't answer immediately.Instead, he leaned closer. His eyes moved over Derek's face, his jaw, his scar.Then suddenly he stepped back, A strange look appeared on his face.Everyone noticed it. “Elder Wane?” Rasha asked.The old man stared at Derek for several long seconds.
Lisa's POVThe words hung in the air. Nobody spoke. Nobody even breathed.For several long seconds, the council chamber remained completely silent as every pair of eyes fixed themselves on me.Then one of the elders burst out laughing."This must be a joke."A few others joined him. The laughter echoed around the room. "White wolves are extinct.""The Wildwood Pack no longer exists.""The Redmoon Pack wiped them out generations ago.""The girl is lying."I clenched my fists beneath the table.Before I could defend myself, the Priestess spoke. "No."The laughter stopped immediately. The room respected her too much to ignore her words.The Priestess slowly rose from her seat. "She is not lying."Several elders frowned. Rasha stared at me. "Then she's telling the truth?"The Priestess nodded. "Yes."A strange unease settled over the room.One by one, the elders stopped smiling.Rasha turned toward me again. "How?" Her voice sounded almost disbelieving. "How is that possible?"I swallowed
Lisa's POVI got up from the bench immediately. My wolf's warning refused to leave my mind.I looked around the room carefully; I saw the guards outside, servants were moving around normally. Everything looked peaceful. And yet... Something felt wrong.The feeling sat heavily in my chest. Like a storm was coming.I walked toward one of the windows and looked outside. The streets were busy; People were talking, children were running, merchants were selling goods. Nothing seemed out of place.Still, my wolf remained restless. Then I heard my name. "Lisa."I turned immediately. Rasha was standing halfway down the staircase. She was watching me. "Come with me."Her tone left little room for argument. I nodded and followed her.Neither of us spoke as we climbed the stairs.The higher we went, the quieter the mansion became. Eventually we reached a large open hall.I stopped. Several people were already seated around a long wooden table.Silverfang elders. Most of them looked old:Grey hair
Lisa's POV"I don't need any evidence to know you're a werewolf, and a northern one at that. Obviously a Bloodshot," Rasha said to Derek.My heart slammed against my chest. "No, he's not," I said immediately.The words came out faster than I intended.Rasha didn't even look at me. "Keep your mouth shut and let him defend himself." Her voice was calm, but it carried authority.I swallowed and looked at Derek. He glanced at me briefly, completely unmoved by the accusation.The guards around us immediately became alert. Their hands drifted toward their weapons as they waited for Rasha's command.The atmosphere inside the room changed. Everyone was tense except Derek.He looked bored, he folded his arms and glanced around the mansion. "Silverfang security is poor," he said casually. "Much poorer than it was when your husband was alive."Rasha's eyes narrowed. The guards exchanged confused looks.Then Rasha's face darkened. "Seize him."The guards hesitated, nobody moved. I could see it in
Lisa's POVI leaned closer to Derek as the guards led us away from the hut. "Remember the plan," I whispered. "Let me do most of the talking. We don't need blood spilling."Derek glanced at me. For a second, I wasn't sure if he was even listening.Then he gave a single nod, just once.I sighed in relief. That was the closest thing to agreement I was going to get from him.The guards continued leading us through the village. Some walked ahead of us, others followed behind.I noticed something strange. Every few moments, one of them would glance at Derek.Then another, then another. They tried to be subtle about it, but I noticed. And apparently Derek noticed too.Soon they started whispering among themselves. I couldn't hear what they were saying. But whatever it was, it wasn't making me feel comfortable.Then suddenly Derek stopped walking.My heart skipped a beat. Everything froze.The guards stopped too. The whispers died immediately."This isn't what we planned," I whispered under
Lisa's POVThe name itself sent a cold shiver down my spine.“What do you mean by death valley?” I asked, my voice quieter than I intended.Derek didn’t answer immediately. He crouched low, brushing his fingers over the damp soil, then sniffed the air. His expression hard
Lisa's POVI walked down to the river and had a quick bath. The water was cold, but I didn’t mind. My body still felt weird after everything that happened. When I came back, Derek was already sitting by a fire, roasting a deer. I had no idea how he caught it so fast. My ey
Lisa's POVI had the worst dream of my life.Derek was standing in the middle of a village, blood dripping from his claws, and bodies scattered around him. Women, children, old men… all of them. Slaughtered. Their eyes were still open, staring at nothing. Their mouths frozen in screams. De
Lisa's POVI curled my right leg up, wrapping my hands around Derek’s waist as he drew me close, my breasts pressing tightly against his bare chest.His lips found mine, firm and intense, and I surrendered to the kiss, opening my mouth to him. My hand trembled as it trailed
