POV Katy"That was too risky!" Gaby commented, pacing back and forth in the room with cold sweat on her hands. "Did you see what she's capable of? You could have died; that woman is crazy!" She said, distraught."Gaby..." I called her, gesturing for her to sit beside me on the bed. Once she sat down, I rested my head on her shoulder and whispered, "It's okay, that child's fate was already sealed anyway." I shrugged, not caring."Whatever it was, you just hastened things," I added with a tone of indifference.Gaby looked at me, incredulous. "Don't you have any compassion, Katy? It was your child! He was inside you!"I sighed, looking up at the ceiling. "He was going to die anyway; he wouldn't have been useful to me anymore." I shrugged again, trying to get up, still feeling strong pains in the lower part of my abdomen. The doctors had performed emergency surgery to drain some of the blood and prevent an infection that could have prevented me from getting pregnant again."That's cruel!"
**Eleanor's Perspective**"Eleanor..." A voice whispered inside me, making my whole body shiver. I was in a dark place, the shadows moving around me as if they had a life of their own. The walls were covered in ancient paintings, scrawled in red ink. Wolves running free, women dancing around a bonfire, scenes that seemed to pulse with an ancestral energy."Eleanor... Parker... the last of us... still lives..." The mysterious voice whispered again, followed by a long, agonizing howl of a wolf. The sound reverberated in my bones, and I put my hands over my ears, trying to muffle the noise that made my head throb with pain. Barking and roaring echoed, as if a pack was approaching rapidly. Panic took over me, and I ran deeper into what seemed to be a cave.My heart pounded uncontrollably as I ran, the sounds growing louder and closer. I tripped over a stone, falling heavily to the ground. "Awww," I groaned in pain, seeing blood trickle from a wound on my leg. I crouched behind a rocky wal
**Eleanor's Perspective**"It was just a crazy dream, Eleanor..." I repeated to myself several times, trying to gather the courage to get out of bed. Finally, I got up and walked to the bathroom, still feeling the strangeness of the nightmare.Looking at myself in the mirror, I saw my disheveled hair and tired-looking face, which made me roll my eyes. I splashed some water on my face and scrubbed with soap, hoping to shake off the weird feeling. But when I looked in the mirror again, my eyes had a greenish tint with a yellow ring around the iris, like small burning embers—just like the eyes of that wolf, Roxy, whom I had seen in my dreams."I must be seeing things..." I shook my head, confused. I looked in the mirror again and saw the reflection of the wolf right behind me. My heart raced, and the sight made me so nervous that I knocked over a glass jar, spilling shampoo and cream all over the bathroom floor."Eleanor... are you okay?" one of the maids' voices sounded from the other s
**Alpha King's POV**“Did you see that? It seemed like something was wrong with her...” I said thoughtfully.My beta stood next to me in the office, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, examining the papers the doctor had delivered.“What did Dr. Alfonso say?” he asked, a serious expression on his face.“He spent three days collecting tests every four hours, and the results were always the same. There's no more damage to her retina. Eleanor should have regained her vision, but she claims she only sees small spots and blurs...” I responded irritably, pacing back and forth.“Maybe she developed myopia or astigmatism,” he shrugged, indifferent, placing the folder on the table.“Impossible. Dr. Alfonso did a fundus examination, and there’s no deformation. Her corneas and pupils are fine. Her eyes have returned to their green color, and her pupils react to light stimulation. Something’s wrong!” I huffed in frustration, taking a sip of whiskey. If I discovered she was lying to me
**Eleanor's POV**I remember running towards the room, not knowing what was happening. It was almost midnight, and I couldn't sleep. My whole body was cold with sweat, and I felt an overwhelming heat inside me. I tossed and turned in bed, trying to find a comfortable position, but it felt like something was burning inside me.When I looked at my hands, my heart almost stopped. They were hairy again. Gray and white fur sprouted from my skin, quickly spreading up my arms. I watched my bones stretch, and my fingers curl, transforming into paws. My nails elongated, becoming sharp and menacing claws. The pain and the sensation of displacement were intense, but the shock and disbelief were even greater.I thought I was delirious, having some kind of hallucination. I had lived years without feeling my wolf, and now, out of nowhere, it was emerging with uncontrollable force. My body trembled, and I could feel every bone and muscle rearranging, changing shape. My face started to elongate, my n
**Eleanor's POV**"Let's go to him..." my wolf insisted, trying to move, but I held her back, fighting against her strength. "What are you doing? Our mate is there, we need to go to him!" she cried in my mind, letting out a sad, agonizing howl as I restrained her."We can't, Roxy... we belong to the Alpha King..." I murmured, feeling a sharp pain in my heart as I said those words."But... Eleanor..." she tried to argue.I took control and made us jump off the hill. In my wolf form, I ran back toward the palace, trying to return the same way before the guards noticed my absence."Our mate is coming after us. He won't stop until he catches us," Roxy said, excited, as she saw the imposing, swift wolf pursuing us. He was knocking down and overcoming every obstacle in his path as if his life depended on it. His strength and determination were admirable, stirring an irresistible excitement and attraction within me."We need to find a way to lose him, Roxy! Help me think," I grumbled, asking
**Alpha Gideon's POV**I searched every inch of that forest until seven in the morning. My wolf, Ragnar, was frantic, and nothing seemed capable of stopping him. Usually, he was brutal and fierce, but also extremely obedient and loyal. Since he saw her and smelled her sweet scent, he went crazy, desiring her in an almost savage way."We need to return to the palace!" I communicated with him through the mental link, trying to calm him down, but Ragnar seemed unyielding."Our mate is somewhere around here. We can't lose her. I will find her!" he replied firmly, sniffing intensely among the trees near the stream. Her scent was still present, indicating she had passed by, but the trail abruptly ended in the direction of the forest, as if she had tried to confuse us by creating different paw prints."We have urgent matters to attend to. We need to go back to the palace. Katy and Helena need us. We have responsibilities to the pack; we are an Alpha!" I retorted, irritated by Ragnar's stubbo
POV EleanorI had hidden in the bathroom of my room and took the opportunity to close the door. The bathtub was full of water, and I took advantage of it to get in and wash the dust and mud off my fur. I felt my muscles relax, and my wolf finally calmed down. I stayed in that cold water and gradually returned to my human form. My body stretched as my arms and legs returned; as my bones cracked and rearranged to shape my body, I felt intense pain. Returning to human form was more painful than transforming into a wolf. While running in the forest, everything was more intense. My wolf form and my senses were stronger and more extraordinary. If humans didn't live among us, I would live forever in my lupine form."Ellen..." I heard a familiar voice call my name, and when I turned around, I was surprised."Amber..." A smile lit up my face as I saw my best friend after so many months. "I thought you had abandoned me..." I murmured, feeling defeated."Never! I recently heard that you went bli
