Blood spilled beneath him, spreading quickly, staining the earth like it was claiming him already. His eyes closed as he fell unconscious.My breath seized in my chest.I couldn’t breathe.My hands shook so violently I had to clench them into fists just to feel like they were still attached to me. My ears rang, drowning out the screams and clashes around us. The battlefield blurred, but Leon remained painfully clear.Still.Too still.“No…” the word barely left my lips.But Aaron wasn’t done.I saw it in his eyes—the hunger, the rage, the satisfaction of knowing he had broken something that mattered. He lifted his claws again, sharp and dripping, angling them toward Leon’s chest like he intended
The air was heavy.It smelled of blood, smoke, and death.Burnt fur clung to the ground. Broken weapons lay everywhere. Bodies were scattered like they meant nothing. Wolves. Guards. Warriors. Some were human. Some were not. None of them were breathing anymore.I walked slowly through the ruins.My feet felt heavy, like the ground itself was holding me back. Every step hurt my heart. Every sound made my chest tighten. The screams had reduced, but the silence was worse. It was thick. It pressed against my ears.This was not what I wanted.This was never what I wanted.My hands shook as I moved forward. My dress was stained with ash and blood. Not all of it was mine. I did not even know whose blood it was anymore.Then I heard it.A weak sound.A broken sound.A soft howl.My head snapped toward the sound. My heart skipped. I followed it quickly, my feet slipping on the damp ground. The sound was faint, like it was begging to be heard.I rushed behind a fallen pillar.That was when I sa
The hall felt too quiet when I stepped into it. The silence wrapped around me like a cold blanket, and even though the mansion was huge, I felt strangely suffocated. I had been waiting in my room for hours, unable to sleep, unable to even sit still. My thoughts kept circling like hungry wolves, refusing to give me peace. So I stepped outside, hoping the air would clear my head.My footsteps echoed slightly as I walked down the corridor. The air smelled of burning candles and old wood. I inhaled deeply, hoping the faint scent would calm me, but it didn’t. My heart still beat too fast. My chest still felt tight.As I walked deeper into the hallway, I passed a room with the door slightly open. A thin line of silver moonlight spilled out from inside. For some reason, I stopped. Something pulled me toward that light, like my body moved before my mind could stop it.I pushed the door open slowly, careful not to make a sound. The hinges creaked quietly, but the room still felt untouched and
I stood at the entrance of my room, watching the maid as she cleaned the floor. Her hands moved in small circles, but the moment her eyes lifted and met mine, she froze. She gasped softly, her shoulders stiffening. The cloth slipped from her hand and landed on the floor with a dull, wet sound.She bowed so quickly her forehead almost touched the ground.“Madam…” she whispered shakily.I took a slow step toward her. My face remained calm, empty, unreadable. Only my voice carried a small edge.“I recognize you,” I said quietly. “I have seen you a few times at alpha Aaron’s pack.”Her eyes widened in fear. Her lips trembled.Before she could deny it, I leaned down slightly and whispered with a small, cold smile:“You’re a spy… aren’t you?”Her knees gave way instantly. She fell to the ground and pressed her palms together as tears filled her eyes.“Please don’t report me,” she begged desperately. Her voice cracked. “He will kill me. Alpha Leon despises betrayal more than anything.”I loo
I stood at the entrance of Leon’s room, my heart beating so loudly that even the silence seemed to echo it back at me. My fingers tightened around the tray of food in my hands. The silver plate rattled softly, announcing just how nervous I was.I had already turned back once. Then twice.But I didn’t have the luxury of fear anymore.I had postponed my plan to hurt his nanny. That woman… she wasn’t someone I could handle easily. Her eyes were too sharp, too calculating, too experienced. She looked like someone who had survived wars of her own, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to deceive her. So I moved to my plan B.The more dangerous one.The one that required Leon.I took a deep breath. I raised my knuckles and knocked softly before pushing the door open.The moment I stepped in, the warm scent of his room wrapped around me — faint wood, his cologne, something warm and masculine. I took a step forward, then another, slowly swinging my hips like I had practiced in front of the mirror.I
I sat on the cold floor, hugging my knees. My chin rested on them as if all the strength in my bones had collapsed. My eyes were open, but everything looked far away… like the world was happening behind a glass wall.I kept replaying it.His voice.His face.The way his words sliced into the parts of me I thought were long dead.“Don’t leave me again.”The way his voice cracked when he said it…It shook me. It broke something inside me.And I hated that.I hated that I felt anything at all.For years, pain was the only thing strong enough to keep me alive.Pain sharpened me.Hatred kept me breathing.But tonight, everything got mixed—pity, guilt, confusion, weakness. Emotions I threw away long ago came crawling back like hungry shadows.I dug my nails into my skin.“No,” I whispered to myself. “I can’t fall again. Not here. Not because of him.”Leon was dangerous for me. Not because he was powerful—but because he made me feel.If I stayed, I would get weaker.If I stayed, I would forg
