로그인~Lucy~The entire kingdom is engulfed in flames. People are screaming, scattered everywhere, crying and begging for help as the fire devours them. Meanwhile, I’m bound to the ground, unable to move, unable to strike. I have the ability to put out fire by casting dust and sand into the flames. My husband, Rhett, can bend fire itself. But we are powerless… frozen… forced to watch as our lands and our people burn alive. “Mother!” My son screams, shaking as the fire engulfs his body. “Atlas!” I let out a piercing scream, jolting awake. “Lucy!” Amy shouts, rushing to me. “You’re finally awake, my dearie!” She breaks into tears, pulling me into her arms. She strokes my hair gently, calming me down. “I was really hoping you’d wake from that nightmare!” “Where is Atlas?! Are they back yet?” I ask, pulling away. “Lucy…” she sobs, her fingers trembling. “Amy, tell me what happened?” I demand, jumping down from the bed. My nose tilts as I catch the scent of smoke. “Speak!” I
“P… please don’t close your eyes!” I cry, tears rushing down my face. I’ve already ripped off my dress, pressing it against his wounds, but the blood won’t stop. He’s losing too much. “Please… I beg you!” Whimpering, my fingers trembling. His body is turning pale, veins bulging blue. The poison is spreading fast. “Hyera!” A voice snaps inside my head as my wolf rises. “You need to burn the poison! We can’t lose him.” My heart drops. Is that… my wolf? Talking to me? I don’t care. This isn't the time for questions. The only thing that matters is saving Atlas. I don’t know what I’ll do if anything happens to him. “W-what am I going to do?” I stutter, sobbing. “Tell me!” “Go into the bushes… find herbs. With your powers, we’ll burn the poison out and save him.” “I can’t leave him here!” I snap, shaking my head. “What if… he…” My sobs break harder, my body trembling. “We don’t have time for that!” she growls, her voice vibrating through me, raising my skin. “The quick
~Hyera~At this point, it just feels like Atlas is playing games with me. It’s been long minutes of trying to link our powers, but nothing is working. And I know Luna Lucy warned me—she said it was dangerous, that for some unexplainable reason my powers are forbidden for the Alpha. But I’ve seen what he can do. How many times he’s bent power and time itself. If only he’d take this seriously, maybe we would have already linked our powers. I’m giving it my all, but all he does is mess around with me. “Ah!” I sigh, glaring at him. “Atlas, come on… it’s been hours now.” He shrugs casually. “Well then, I hope you’ve seen for yourself now that your idea is pointless.” “No, it’s not!” I snap, rolling my eyes. “You just don’t want to do it.” He looks at me, his eyes soft. It hurts to see him look at me with admiration, like he’s enjoying watching me struggle. I take a deep breath and sink to the ground, completely letting myself collapse like I’m tired of life. “What are you d
There’s nothing more frustrating than searching for answers in the shadows. My fingers tap against the map, my mind consumed with worry. What if this strange animal is multiplying somewhere? What if someone is controlling it, waiting for the perfect time to strike? “Fuck!” I mutter, slamming my palm down. For months we’ve checked everywhere, yet no trace of this creature. Even though its scent is hidden from others, I can still sense it. It’s alive, somewhere. I’ve tried to use my ability to trace it, but every effort has failed. Silver. Her thought slips into my mind, easing my heart. My jaw clenches at that. I don’t like what it’s doing to me. I don’t like that just the mere mention of her name calms something inside me. Maybe it’s because of everything she’s done for us. Because I’ve finally seen her for the pure person she is. Yet that should not make me feel this way. “Don’t even try to brush off her thoughts,” my wolf whispers, rising inside me. “For how long will you
~Atlas’s POV~ Silver. Silver. Silver… I never imagined we would get to this point—the point where I no longer hated her presence… but actually wanted it more. And it’s not because she’s gone from that cowering girl to a confident, successful healer. It’s simply because I’ve gotten to know her more. Months of being trapped with her in the worst situations possible have answered some of the burning questions I had about her. It turns out, she’s as pure as she appears. We haven’t gotten closer… but in my mind’s eye, she’s different. And when she fired back at the interviewers yesterday—intelligent, confident… it turned me on. I couldn’t help but kiss her sweet lips. The more I come in contact with her skin, the more I want to claim her. She’s filled with so much hunger that I want to satisfy, to fill with nothing but my presence so she keeps coming back to me. “Oh Max!” she exclaims, jumping into his arms. She holds him tight as he breathes her in, his eyes closed. That’s m
Several Weeks Later BREAKING NEWS: Silver, Queen of the CrescentMoon Pack, has been praised across the kingdoms for risking her life alongside Alpha Atlas to tackle the deadly plague. Their courage and sacrifice saved thousands of lives, earning them recognition as heroes of the realm. My cheeks flush as I watch the news unfold. Every single day it’s a new headline about how Atlas and I were able to save the villages and even several other packs. I’ve quickly gained so much recognition in the kingdom it’s almost unbelievable. I used to be a servant, a lowly servant who was scorned and deeply hated by an entire pack. My mates rejected me for being an Omega. But how quickly things could change. I’m not only the wife of the most powerful Alpha but also a recognized healer, known, respected, and cherished all over the kingdom. It happened so fast I can’t even process it. When I look at myself in the mirror, I don’t see that weak, fragile girl anymore. I feel confident… powerful, l
~Hyera~“Hyera!” A beastly guttural voice snaps me out of sleep.“Oh my God!” I gasp, my chest rising and falling, eyes wide in stunned disbelief. “Luna!” Aimi exclaims, jumping to her feet. “You’re finally awake!” She rushes to give me a drink. “What happened to me?” I ask, brows pinched as I
~Atlas’s POV~For the first time in so many years, I feel closer to finding our enemy. It was a quiet evening on my seventh birthday. The pack was filled with excitement as people from different parts of the world gathered to celebrate with me. Everyone felt safe and secure—after all, it was the
~Maximus’s POV~I thought I could do it. I told myself it was just a matter of time she would be free and mine for good. Hyera promised to let me mark her as my mate when the contract ends. I was feeling good about the whole thing… until several hours after we came back home. It’s been almost d
Small footsteps approaching my room jolt me awake. I glance around, my face twisted in confusion. “How did I get here?” I whisper, jumping down from the bed. “How did I get in this nightdress?” I ask, sniffing my body. It smells fresh, perfumed. “I had a bath?” I pace anxiously, trying to rec
