The sky above was still gray when Alpha Aric stepped into the palace. The cold air clung to his skin, but the cold sweat trickling down Alpha Aric's temples was far more piercing. As soon as he got out of his black car, he didn't have time to greet anyone. The servants who noticed his presence quickly bowed in respect, but their Alpha simply rushed inside.“Lyara… where is Lyara?” he muttered, more like a choked scream.The news hit him like a poison-tipped spear. Upon hearing the report that Lyara had been attacked by a large number of black wizards and rogues, his breath caught in his throat. The world crumbled around him. His heart trembled violently, shattering all the patience and resolve he had built up over the years.“What if she left me? No, please…” The world around him seemed to spin, but he forced himself to stay focused.Upon reaching the upper floor, his footsteps no longer moved in sync. He nearly collided with a servant emerging from the corridor, but his body continue
Author POV"Even so, you will still lose, you damn wolf!" cursed one of the black wizards."You will vanish in our powerful magic! You are still no match for us!" shouted another.The night wind roared through the trees, but the sounds of blows, growls, and spells still dominated the border area. In the form of Elune, Lyara charged like a storm—pouncing, clawing, and leaping among the enemy ranks. But their numbers were not small, and their attacks were far from ordinary. “Elune, target the right flank first!” Lyara and Elune were synchronizing their thoughts. Moving aggressively yet calculatedly.The rogues, now under the influence of dark magic, moved like bloodthirsty puppets. Their attacks were swift, their coordination terrifying. Seven bodies had already fallen, five mages had been incapacitated by brutal claws and blows. But five others still stood, and their magic grew increasingly intense.An explosion hits the right side of Lyara’s body, sending her tumbling. She grimaces,
"Get ready, Elune. If I'm cornered, you can take over my body," I instructed Elune. They really intended to kill me. They were well prepared. The number and combination were unusual. In terms of numbers alone, I was already defeated, and now I was facing melee attackers working together with ranged attackers.I stared intently into the red eyes of the rogues. “No, this isn’t cooperation. It’s the black wizards exploiting the rogues.” “Elune, this battle will be extremely difficult for us.”“I’m looking forward to it,” Elune said cheerfully. It seemed to her that she was merely observing a pile of prey she would eventually tear apart.“Alright, the belief in victory must remain.”Three rogues leaped simultaneously from behind the bushes, followed by a thunderous explosion of dark energy from the direction of the large pine tree. Without hesitation, I charged forward. My claws struck the nearest rogue’s neck, shattering its bones and sending its body flying backward. But before its b
That day, the aroma of meat filled the entire dining room. As soon as I stepped inside, I almost thought I was in a hunting banquet hall. Various meats were served—grilled meat still steaming, neatly sliced steak topped with melted cheese, meat soup mixed with rare spices, and sausages that looked too big for one person. Even the vegetable stir-fry, which usually served as a side dish, had been replaced with smoked meat slices. I sat down slowly, my eyes sweeping over the spread with a mix of awe and confusion. “Is today a special day?” I asked, looking at Alpha Aric, who had just sat down across from me. Alpha Aric smirked. “Every day I spend with you is a special day.” I rolled my eyes in annoyance. “You’re getting better at sweet talk.” He laughed softly. “Today is the day you need to eat a lot. I’m worried about you because you’ve been looking pensive lately. Since your father left, you’ve lost your appetite.”I raised my eyebrows. “So you decided to serve every kind of me
As the sun peeked through the curtains, I slowly woke up from my sleep. Silence enveloped the room, but something warm touched my cheek. When I opened my eyes, I found Alpha Aric staring at me. His eyes were unblinking, his lips curved into a gentle smile, and his fingers were playing with my hair.“Good morning,” he murmured, then gently kissed my forehead, as if time could pause just a little longer. I murmured softly, still half-asleep. “How long have you been awake?” “Long enough to study your face dozens of times and still feel it’s not enough,” he replied lightly.I chuckled. “You’re too sweet for a guy with that many muscles.” He chuckled. “I’m just being honest. And… a little obsessed with you.” I turned away, hiding my smile under the blanket. But he pulled me back, holding me tightly.“If you keep this up,” I whispered, “I’ll never can to leave the bed.”“Let them all wait. You don’t know how long I’ve been counting the days to be with you like this.” Alpha Aric tigh
"Lyara, open your eyes and look closely! Even though it's not very noticeable, Alpha Aric's skin color is better than before." Elune's words still didn't bring my wandering mind back to reality."I'm really sorry," I muttered, my eyes shifting to look around.The cave was cold, damp, and dark. But it was better than letting the rain continue to eat away at Alpha Aric’s wounds. A small fire from dry branches danced in the middle of the rocks, giving us a glimmer of warmth.I sat leaning against the stone wall, my body slightly bent toward him. Alpha Aric was still lying on the thick cloak I had placed as an emergency mattress. His breathing wasn’t as rapid as before, but his eyes remained heavy.“Alpha Aric?” I whispered softly, afraid my voice would disturb the silence.He, who wasn’t truly asleep, slowly opened his eyes and gave a faint smile. His lips were dry and pale, but his voice still carried strength. “I’m not that weak, Lyara.”I bowed my head, clenching my cold fingers. “You
