We started the hike right after I checked the items Annie brought. I wanted to put some distance between us before the sun set. After nightfall, the latest time for the wolf’s awakening would be during the peak of the full moon in the sky.

"Where are we going?"

"Putting some distance so we can strip down without worrying about being seen," I replied briefly. I was too focused on sensing the surroundings.

"How will you know there’s no danger without your wolf?"

"But I’ve got my wolf with me! The whole time!" I stopped for a moment, turned to her, and pointed to my nose, then my ears. "How do you think I found you so quickly?"

"I don’t get how you do that without being in wolf form. Isn’t that hard?"

"Remember when I asked you how I should teach you about this?"

"I remember. You said there was your way and the book way."

"What you know says that you and your wolf are separate beings sharing the same body, but have you thought about the possibility that your wolf has been with you since

    The transformation was now complete, but her body remained on the ground, convulsing as her paws twitched as if trying to grasp something. I lay down beside her, and it seemed to calm her. Minutes later, she reacted, showing that she had regained consciousness. A newly awakened wolf wants only one thing—to run! Unfortunately, when it was my turn, I couldn’t give that to Lisa, but I made it up to her later.Annie’s wolf clumsily rolled over, trying to get to her feet. I used my body to help steady her and walked in front of her, locking eyes with her. The glow in her gaze told me the worst had passed. From this point on, it was just a matter of making small adjustments as she got used to her new form. I wrapped both bags around my neck and walked ahead slowly, waiting for her to follow.Her paws wobbled as she took slow, uncertain steps forward. Little by little, her stride became steadier, and when I saw she was starting to find her rhythm, I picked up the pace, matching my pace to he

    I stretched my arms and yawned, accidentally bumping into the figure sleeping peacefully beside me. It was probably around 3 a.m., the time I’d biologically set to train with Lisa.I stepped out of the tent and sat by the water. The sense of peace I felt was indescribable. I couldn’t quite understand why this place brought out two completely opposite emotions in me. Sometimes, I felt restless, my heart racing, and other times, like now, I felt calm.It's so peaceful! How about we go hunting? Lisa suggested."I don’t want to leave Annie alone," I whispered, mesmerized by the movement of the water. "Besides, we should start heading back if we want to keep a pace that's manageable for her."Lisa agreed right away. I stood up and began packing my things into my bag. Then, I gently nudged her shoulder. She shifted a bit and opened her eyes."Hmm, why are you awake? It’s still so dark!""I need to head back. While you get the day off from school, that’s not the case for me.""But the guide

    Saturday morning was sunny. I spent the entire morning helping my grandmother fill mini crostatas with the jams my aunt had prepared throughout the week. After lunch, I took a taxi to deliver the order to the party venue."Hey! Over here!" Annie waved at me as soon as she saw me arriving. The taxi passed by the alpha's house and stopped in front of a wall at the neighboring estate. Annie opened a large, white-painted iron gate that led onto the property, and the taxi drove in.I was surprised by the number of flowers arranged in beds along the pathway. The taxi stopped in front of a glass-walled building covered in vines climbing all the way to the roof. Annie quickly caught up to me and helped unload the order."Thanks for bringing this. Liam’s busy with other things, so he couldn’t come pick it up," Annie said, grinning as she helped me carry the boxes inside."No need to thank me—I’m happy to help. And if there’s anything else I can do, just let me know!""Everything’s pretty much

    I hadn’t heard many stories about it since romantic relationships had never been my focus. Still, I knew that werewolves tended to have a much more active sex life than humans. Mating was crucial for wolves, strengthening the bond with their mate and, in turn, the wolf itself. More than just a desire, it was an instinctual need—something that, fortunately, Lisa didn’t seem to experience. At least not yet. I guess even in that regard, she was an unusual wolf.“Well, you really do seem ready for this. Just be careful, okay?”“Don’t worry, I’ve thought of everything! I—”“No need to tell me the details,” I cut her off. “I’m still underage, remember?”I’d much rather talk about monsters and battles than hear about relationships and intimacy. Annie let out a soft laugh and stayed still, smiling like a lovestruck fool.“Hold on a second,” I told her as I went to my aunt’s room to borrow a mirror. I positioned it behind her so she could get a better look at the hairstyle I had done.“Eliza,

    Leaving them behind, I walked straight out to the garden and sat at one of the outdoor tables. Even though I’d arrived early, I wasn’t the first one out there. A little girl was sitting alone just a few tables away. Petite and slender, she had a round face and long, dark brown hair. She wore a pretty yellow dress that fell to her knees, with floral details that gave her the innocent look of a child who couldn’t have been more than ten.From where I sat, I could see her little legs swinging as her hands busied themselves, rummaging through the food on her plate to decide what to eat next. Little by little, familiar faces from school started showing up and filling the place. I figured I’d just wait for a friendlier face before going over to say hi.Before long, the first round of snacks and drinks began making its way around the tables. I grabbed a few finger foods and, without thinking, glanced back toward the little girl, wondering how she’d managed to get so much food before everyone

    Maybe I should’ve been worried, but looking at that child, I didn’t feel threatened in the slightest. It was like I could feel the sincerity of her emotions radiating from her.“Yes, I’m Lisa,” I finally admitted. “But that’s our little secret, okay? Don’t let anyone find out.”“It feels like I’m dreaming,” she whispered, her voice barely holding together.Then she let go of me and nodded in agreement, smiling.“So, you still haven’t told me your name.”“Caroline,” she said so softly that, if it weren’t for my wolf’s enhanced hearing, I wouldn’t have caught it.“Nice to meet you, Caroline! Did you run away from all the noise too?”She nodded again.I took a deep breath as I silently wondered who had invited her and which family she came from.“Are you a friend of Annie’s?”She nodded once more without saying a word.We looked at each other for a moment, and then she started moving her hands in the air again. Since I had already studied her pattern before, I instantly understood the so

    Before I knew it, I was wandering aimlessly through the streets, like I’d forgotten the way home. Soon, the cluster of houses had completely vanished, and I found myself entering an open field, drawn by the sound of running water.The sting from the slap grew sharper with every step, while a wave of loneliness flooded my soul. I stopped at the edge of a stream and crouched down, scooping up some cold water and splashing it on my face. Tears streamed from my eyes as I stared at my own reflection in the water.It wasn’t perfectly clear, but I could still make out the spot where William had hit me—it was already starting to bruise. How was I supposed to hide that from my grandma?“Are you okay?” I turned toward the voice. Liam was standing a few feet away, arms crossed.“What are you doing here? How did you find me?” I asked, confused. Of all people, he was the last one I expected to come after me.“I promised Annie I’d find you and bring you back to her party.”“Liam, I’m sorry, but I’m

    I ended up waking in the middle of the night to go for a run with Lisa. Even though I felt calmer, she still needed to let out all the angst from the night before. By the time I got back to my room, the redness in my face had completely faded. I went back to sleep, and when I woke up, it was almost lunchtime. “Looks like the party last night was a good one,” my grandma said as we sat down to eat. “Yeah, I met the alpha’s daughter.” I watched her reaction closely. She let out a deep sigh, followed by a quiet lament. “Poor girl... She lost her mother so young and never really recovered. I hope the alpha finds a cure for her someday.” “Well, I talked to her a bit. Caroline’s quiet, but she’s really sweet.” “You what? You talked? Like, actually talked?” “Yeah. She even argued with her brother at the party.” My grandma’s surprised expression was kind of funny. Honestly, I really hoped Caroline wouldn’t go quiet again—that maybe now, she could finally start living a more normal life.

    I took a deep breath, trying to hold back the tears, and walked over to the drink table. Even though I was underage, I felt an urgent need to keep myself from crying, and since people say alcohol is good for drowning your sorrows, I figured it might do the trick. I filled my cup with punch, and just as I was about to down it, someone grabbed it out of my hand. I looked to the side and met Nicolas’s eyes. He looked like he was trying just as hard not to cry.“Does it hurt?” I asked him. I wasn’t talking about our bond—I meant his arm, which was bandaged up. Without a word, he set the cup down on the table, turned around, and walked away. I stood there, unsure of what to do. Should I follow him or give him space? “Nicolas, wait!”He heard me, but he didn’t stop. It was clear he didn’t want to talk to me. So I gave up on the idea of drinking and tried to drown my sorrows in food instead while I waited for the performances to start. Every now and then, I found myself scanning the crowd fo

    I passed by the hospital front desk and paid the entire bill in advance, leaving some credit for any unexpected needs. Then I slowly walked down the road as the first rays of sunlight broke over the horizon.I wandered aimlessly for a while, completely lost. I couldn’t remember where the little house Veronica had taken me to was. I reached into the pocket of my jeans, looking for the key. I was planning to track the house by its scent.“You forgot the keys!” Lisa said in my head. I smiled softly, hearing her voice in my mind again. She was right—I suddenly remembered I’d left the key on the bed and had only grabbed my wallet. I hadn’t even closed the front door.“We’re going to be okay,” I promised myself. I needed to believe that—to believe I could fix everything.“I’m starving!” she said the moment we passed by a café that had just opened. The smell in the air was irresistible. I stepped inside and picked a table to sit at.“Whoa!” the girl at the counter exclaimed when she saw me.

    I sat on the bed, completely lost. I tried calling my aunt to find out how my grandma was doing, but her phone was ringing in the room next door. In the rush to help Grandma, she’d left it behind.Next thing I knew, it was almost midnight. My mom got back to me with a message. It was short but straight to the point:Mom: My friend will be there soon. Grab your stuff and go with her!Sure enough, not even five minutes later, a blue van pulled up in front of the house. A medium-built woman with long, curly black hair and dark skin stepped out. She was wearing pajamas."You’re Eliza?" she asked. I nodded slightly."Girl, what kind of mess did you get yourself into? Don’t worry, it’s gonna be okay. I’m Verônica, your mom’s friend."She held out her hand, but I couldn’t bring myself to shake it. Instead, I clutched the bag that held my Preciosa even tighter."Poor thing! I’ll help you carry your stuff, okay? Luckily, I had the perfect place lined up for you. Your mom already paid three mont

  • Destiny: The Alpha Heir   Chapter 78

    Everything in my head was just a high-pitched ringing, echoing persistently in the back of my mind. I started struggling to breathe and desperately searched for music. Lisa had abandoned me, and now Preciosa was destroyed. I was falling apart.By the time I started to get even a glimpse of what was happening around me, it was already dark.“How long have I been like this?” My head was spinning. I leaned against the bed and focused on listening for any sounds. The silence told me there was no one home. I pulled my phone out of my jeans pocket. The screen was cracked, but it still seemed to work. There was only one person who could make sense of everything that had happened.After trying over and over, I finally heard a familiar voice on the other end, and it made me want to break down and cry."Mom, it's me!" I said. "Mom, please help me!""Sweetheart, what happened?""I told Grandma about Dad, and she freaked out. I don’t know what to do. Mom..." I started crying again. The pain was j

    William had dislocated Nicolas’s arm, and I couldn’t do anything about it because I couldn’t bring myself to fight against my mate. I felt awful. When I tried to help Nicolas, William grabbed my arm and dragged me along with him."William, he needs help. Please!" I begged again, but it was no use."Shut the hell up!" he shouted at me. He dragged me to his car, and as soon as he started the engine, he floored it, tires screeching."William, let me explain, please!""You bitch! Explain? What the fuck is there to explain that I didn’t see with my own eyes? You spend a week with him, and now you’re meeting up with him alone? You think you’re fooling me? You’re fucking worthless!""That’s not how it is, I—""I told you to shut the fuck up!"I couldn’t hold back the anguish and sadness in my chest. Even staying silent, I couldn’t stop myself from sobbing. William pulled over on a narrow street, out on the outskirts of the village. He was breathing heavily."William, your nose is bleeding. A

    The day started off cloudy, with rain in the forecast for the weekend. I wondered if I’d still be able to watch the eclipse with Mr. Ghost. It had been over a week since I last saw him. After a full day of rest, it was time to get back to work. I grabbed Precious and started playing my songs, fine-tuning the arrangements. During my lunch break, I ended up thinking about Nicolas and sent him a short audio clip of a song’s chorus along with a message:Eliza: Congrats on your graduation, brother! Consider this audio a sneak peek of your gift!Nicolas: A sneak peek? Are you finally gonna show me the new songs? I should’ve graduated sooner!He replied just a few moments later. As I was typing out a response, my phone started ringing. It was him!“Lisa, we need to meet up,” he said as soon as I answered. I could hear the anxiety in his voice.“What’s going on?”“There’s no one home right now. Can you come over? I really need to tell you something. And while you’re here, you can show me the

    The next day, wolf training got real. After getting sidelined with serious injuries from dueling with me, Nicolas and Arthur had to train with each other until John was finally satisfied. Meanwhile, I took a dip in the lake and sunbathed with Kate during two full days off.When they finally called me back to training, they looked confident. Arthur had that revenge spark in his eyes as he teamed up with Nicolas to take me on. It wasn’t a fair fight. Unable to intimidate me, the beta joined in, turning it into a three-against-one brawl. They snarled around me, circling, looking for any opening to strike. No matter how strong you are, when you're outnumbered, it takes more than skill to win. I started dodging defensively, avoiding hits while my mind raced to come up with a strategy. A few times, I had to shift into semi-human form to fully dodge the attacks and hit back. Eventually, I decided to cut down the numbers—starting with the weakest link.I aimed for Arthur, but mid-air I change

    The real training was about to begin. A fight between two wolves was way more intense—and brutal. I felt awkward as I undressed and slipped on the robe they gave me.“No need to be shy, sweetheart. I’ll help you through it, okay?” said Kate, who was in the room with me, trying to reassure me.I walked barefoot out onto the backyard patio, with Kate right behind me. John and his sons were already there, standing at attention. The way they all stared as I approached made my face burn with embarrassment, and I ended up lowering my gaze.“Well, well… doesn’t look so tough now,” Arthur took the opportunity to tease me.“Since we know you’re a shy little wolf, we figured this was more appropriate,” John said, referring to the fact that his sons weren’t naked—they were wearing men’s robes.Wolves were used to running in packs, so nudity wasn’t a big deal for them. But for a lone wolf like me, it was a bit much. I was genuinely touched that they had considered how I’d feel.John went over a b

    I took care of my hygiene before heading to my room and setting my alarm for the next morning. When I woke up, I felt completely refreshed and even helped Kate set the table for breakfast. When Nicolas and Arthur showed up, they looked like a pair of zombies."I'm dead. Do I really have to train today, Dad?" Arthur groaned."More than anyone," John replied. I could feel Arthur shooting daggers at me with his eyes, but I pretended not to notice. "Today and tomorrow, you’ll be doing hand-to-hand combat in human form. Eliza will be your opponent, and I’ll be supervising the whole thing."“I get to fight Eliza? Can’t wait,” Arthur said with a sly grin.“Should I tell him or do you want to?” Nicolas whispered, barely holding back a laugh.“Let the kid enjoy the moment,” I whispered back.“Just go easy on me, okay?” Arthur asked. I gave him a nod as I finished my breakfast.I stopped by my room to grab the training outfit they’d given me, then headed out to the garden. I started warming up
