LOGIN~WILLOWThe healer's words hung in the air.“She is not alive.”For several seconds, nobody moved.Then the hall erupted.A wave of murmurs crashed through the room, followed by gasps, cries, and frantic whispers that seemed to come from every direction at once.“No…”“How could this happen?”“She was supposed to complete the awakening…”“Wasn't the bond supposed to save her?”“Is she really…?”The voices collided until I could barely distinguish one from another.My hand began shaking.At first, it was only a slight tremor, but within seconds it became so violent that I could no longer control it.I looked down at the evidence I was still holding… The messages. The payment records. Everything I had fought so hard to uncover.Everything that was supposed to expose Gray and finally protect Amaris.My fingers loosened.The papers slipped from my hand and scattered across the floor. I didn't even notice where they landed. I couldn't.My eyes were fixed on Amaris.This couldn't be happeni
~EMBERI stood frozen beside Amaris's body, unable to understand what I was seeing in front of me.Her face had gone frighteningly still.The warmth that had always seemed to follow her everywhere was fading from her skin, leaving her complexion unnaturally grey beneath the soft ceremonial lights.“Amaris…”My voice barely came out.I stared at her for another second, waiting for her chest to rise, waiting for her eyes to flutter open, waiting for anything that would tell me this wasn't real.Nothing happened.My knees gave out.I fell beside her, catching myself with one hand before immediately reaching for hers with the other.“Amaris, please.” I whispered.Her hand felt so terribly still in mine.“Please wake up.”Tears blurred my vision.I shook her hand gently, as though that could somehow bring her back to me.“Amaris, wake up, for goodness' sake.”Nothing.“Come on. Please.” My voice broke completely. “You can't do this. Not now.”I bent over her, crying so hard that my shoulde
~GRAYI watched Amaris fall.One moment, she was standing beside Varg beneath the golden light of the ceremonial hall, while my humiliating banishment was announced to the entire wolves of Iron-Howl. The next, her knees gave way.Varg caught her before she could hit the floor.“Amaris!”His voice tore through the hall.Everything erupted at once.The elders rose from their seats. Guards rushed toward the ceremonial platform. Ember screamed her name as she pushed through the guards getting Amaris, while the foreign spiritual healer dropped beside Amaris and immediately began examining her.Questions flew from every direction.“What happened?”“Is she breathing?”“Move!”The beautiful ceremonial hall that had been filled with satisfaction for my and Lupa's downfall had dissolved into complete chaos.I laughed.At first, it was only a low chuckle.Then it grew.Deeper. Louder.My face threw upward to the ceiling and I laughed really hard, the laughter effortlessly cutting straight throu
~AMARISThe hall had gone so quiet that I could hear the faint crackle of the ceremonial flames.Only minutes ago, this place had been filled with celebration.Now, it felt like a courtroom.Willow stood several steps away from me, still holding the evidence that had shattered everything we thought we knew. The messages. The payment records. The recording of Gray's own voice.There was no prophecy.There had only ever been a lie.And the man responsible was standing before us.Gray looked nothing like the person I had once known.His face was still marked by the aftermath of Varg's attack, his broken nose healing beneath the swelling, red scars crossing skin that had not yet fully recovered. He moved stiffly as the guards brought him forward, but there was something about his eyes that unsettled me more than his appearance ever could.He wasn't afraid.Not really.Lupa was different.The renowned seer who had once stood before this entire pack with absolute certainty now stood with hi
~AMARIS“The prophecy that nearly destroyed Amaris's life... was a deliberate lie, not a misinterpretation.”Willow's words hung over the grand hall.For several heartbeats, nobody moved.I could barely breathe.A deliberate lie. Not a mistake.Not a revelation that had been misunderstood.A lie.My eyes remained fixed on Willow as she stood beneath the vast ceremonial arch, still clutching the evidence she had brought with her.The Second Awakening had been moments away.Just moments.I had been standing beside Varg with my heart full of hope, ready to step into the next stage of our bond, only for the very thing that had once made me fear him to be dragged back into the center of everything.The healer slowly lowered her hands.One of the elders finally found his voice.“What are you saying, Willow?”“I am saying that Amaris was never cursed by the Alpha's bond.”A murmur spread through the crowd.“We already know that,” another elder said. “The healer established that.”Willow shoo
~AMARISThe cheers slowly faded as Varg and I walked farther into the grand hall.The enormous doors closed behind us, shutting out the noise from the corridors and leaving us surrounded by the countless members of the pack who had gathered for this moment.For a few seconds, nobody spoke.Everyone simply watched us.I could feel the weight of their eyes as we made our way toward the ceremonial platform at the far end of the hall, but strangely, I wasn't nervous anymore.I was excited.My fingers remained intertwined with Varg's as we walked, and every few steps, I caught myself glancing at him.He looked completely composed.As always.Yet I knew him well enough now to notice the subtle tension in his hand around mine, the quiet awareness in his eyes as he took in the hall.This mattered to him too.We reached the center of the ceremonial platform, where an arrangement of ancient symbols had been carefully drawn across the floor.Candles surrounded the markings, their flames moving g
~Amaris“I- I…”I couldn't find the right words to deny. Her gaze pierced through me, the air between us suddenly felt thinner. My brain moved fast, too fast, shirking through different things to say. “I was just lost in thought,” the words slipped out of my mouth.Ember's face softened slightly
~AmarisAs I lay on the bed again, everything that had happened replayed in my head like something I couldn’t control. The betrayal that led me here. The scent…that heavy, frostbitten pine that seemed to have claimed the very air of my room. The shadow. The hunger that left its mark on my pussy, li
~AmarisKneeling on the floor, I could still feel the slick dripping down my thighs. That was when I heard footsteps.Someone was approaching. The air felt lighter. Not like when Alpha Varg walks into a room. Ember. I was certain she was the one approaching. I could not afford to let her see me
~Alpha VargOh, that little cub with scent like rain and Jasmine, that pulls at me in ways I hated to admit. Intoxicating. From the very first day she stepped her feet in this house, I recognized it.The way she left me hunting, searching for her like I was a predator hunting down a prey.Her eyes
