Author POV
The air in Silvergrove pack that night was thick with the smell of smoke, blood, and dark magic. The sky, usually clear and studded with stars, was now shrouded in thick clouds of smoke that reflected the orange light of the fires consuming the houses. Screams and roars filled the air, mingling with the sounds of clawing, heavy footsteps, and the thunder of magical explosions.The attack came from all directions. The black wizards, their robes fluttering like living shadows, marched alongside the rogue pack with wild eyes, bared fangs, and elongated claws ready to tear flesh. Some of them chose to fully transform into wolves, their bodies growing larger and their muscles hardening, their strength increasing tenfold. They attacked the borders from the east, west, north, and south simultaneously. The border chiefs on each side led their own troops, defending the lines with all their might.At the eastern border, the Eastern Border CAuthor POV Alpha King ran as fast as lightning, his breath racing, his eyes focused on only one thing—Lyara's body falling forward, blood gushing profusely from her stomach. His hands managed to catch her body before it hit the ground, but the weight of Lyara's body in his arms made his entire soul feel like it was collapsing. The wound in her abdomen gaped open, its edges blackened by the black magic poison seeping in. “No… no, Lyara… hold on,” his voice raspy, trembling between anger and fear. “Moon Goddess… don’t take her from me. I can’t go through this again. I’ve just found her again…” Alpha King thought to himself. Tavien, who was behind him, let out a furious howl, his eyes blazing with anger. “You’ll pay for this!” he roared before charging toward the black wizard who had orchestrated the attack. A fierce chase ensued between them, the wizard darting through the ruins w
Thane Aric Wolfborne’s POVThe air at the northern border was thick, filled with the scent of blood, burning smoke, and the suffocating remnants of black magic. The pounding and screams mixed together into a symphony of war that echoed in my ears. Sweat ran down my temples, dripping onto my face, which was covered in dust and enemy blood. Yet fatigue had no place in this battle.“Keep attacking them! We won’t stop until their blood floods our land!” I shouted loudly, my words echoed by the roar of the warriors.Half of the enemy forces had been wiped out, but they kept coming like an endless wave. The black wizards fired dark magic from afar, trying to push back our forces. Amidst the attacks and evasions, I was nearly cornered several times—three magic attacks nearly struck my chest, but I managed to dodge them with a swift spin and a claw slash that cut through their attack paths.An explosion came and shook the ground. I turned quickly and saw
“Liora!”Lyara’s voice shattered like broken glass, echoing through the dimly lit marble hallway. She fell to her knees, her knees hitting the hard floor without feeling, focusing only on the small body lying in front of her. Her fingers reached for Liora’s shoulders, shaking her gently—then harder. “Wake up… come on, wake up… it’s me, Lyara… you can hear me, right?” Silence. The coldness of Liora’s skin crept into her palms, piercing to the bone. Blood flowed beneath the body, its redness reflecting the flickering flames from the broken window. Lyara stared at the pale face, then her sobs erupted. Her shoulders shook violently, her breath caught, as if her lungs were being squeezed from within. “No… don’t do this to me again… I beg you…” Her hands patted Liora’s cheeks, stroking her hair, searching for any sign of life. “Not now… not after everything I’ve gone through to protect the people I love…”Memories

The night air outside the warehouse touched my skin with a piercing chill, mingled with the scent of dust and damp earth. In Alpha King's embrace, each of his footsteps felt steady yet urgent. The world around me faded—no other sound mattered except the thud of his heartbeat, so close I could hear it. Finally, the shadow of a black car waiting at the end of the road appeared before us, its engine still humming, sending a thin mist into the cold air.Alpha King opened the front door with one hand, then gently lowered me into the seat. The door remained open, letting in the night air, but he didn’t close it immediately. Instead, he knelt on the ground, level with me. His gaze traced every inch of my body, as if to make sure I was really here, whole, in front of him.“Lyara, which part hurts?” his voice was soft, almost trembling.I swallowed, shook my head. “It’s not that bad, just a little sore.”But his eyes caught something.

The light from outside still split the dark space of the warehouse as Alpha King's footsteps echoed, bouncing off the cold stone walls. His gaze was fixed on Rowan, who stood stiffly, as if his soul was being pulled in two directions: the desire to flee and the urge to stay for something he himself did not fully understand."Step away from those bars," Alpha King commanded in a low voice, yet deep enough to shake Rowan's bones.But Rowan did not move. His eyes shifted from Alpha King to me, as if still hoping I would say something to stop the storm that was coming. I didn't speak. I just stared at Alpha King. He stood like a mountain—unshakable, full of anger, but also carrying the warm embrace I had always longed to feel.Rowan hissed softly. "You can't just take her away like that."Alpha King responded only with a glance. And in an instant, everything happened.Alpha King’s body moved like a shad
