MasukPOV: YULLI"Oh, Callie, what are you doing up? You should be resting." I quickly wiped my eyes and walked toward her.I extended my hands, and Callie felt them before gripping them firmly. Furthermore, I guided her into the room, careful so she wouldn’t bump into any furniture, leading her toward the armchairs arranged in the corner in front of the fireplace, whose flickering light softly illuminated the room."Why were you crying? What happened?" she asked directly as she sat down, sniffing the air in my direction. "Why are you so sad?""You know one of the things I hate most about you wolves is your sharp senses? It’s impossible to hide anything." I smiled, accepting defeat. "It’s nothing. Just exhaustion leaking out through my eyes.""And causing all this sadness?" Callie raised an eyebrow suspiciously before sighing. "Yulli, I know you’re lying. We&rsq
POV: CALLIE"Rigan?" I said in surprise when I saw the enormous black wolf with glowing red eyes, radiating a dominant and murderous aura, standing in front of Yulli and the sorceress. His bristling fur and threatening posture showed he was ready to attack at any moment."You will not hurt them!" he roared fiercely, his voice echoing through the air like thunder."You are protecting the enemy!" Aaron bellowed, his deep and resonant voice shaking everything around him. The ground beneath his feet cracked from the force of his fury, small stones flying around. "You are turning against your own species and family, siding with our enemies.""You are blinded by hatred and war, Father," Rigan growled, his fangs prominent as saliva dripped from his sharp teeth. "I cannot allow you to kill them. Yulli is your friend, remember? Her loyalty has never been in question."Aaron, the great Lycan, paced back
POV: KEENANI noticed that all the witches and she-wolves had already come down from the mountain, except for that troublemaker Yulli. I bit my finger, tempted, as I slowly walked toward the spring, moving stealthily with soft steps.Furthermore, I was met with the wonderful sight of Yulli, naked, stepping into the hot spring. Her eyes were closed and her body relaxed, as if she had not rested in a long time. I removed my clothes silently, like a predator, and approached without making a sound. I startled her when I whispered in her ear:"What a beautiful view."I licked the tip of her ear, and her purple eyes snapped open in surprise as she frowned."What are you doing here?" She covered her breasts with her arms, sinking deeper into the water. "Stop staring at me and turn around!""Why would I do something that stupid?" I teased, watching her face turn red. "The real bea
POV: CALLIEI rose quickly from the hot spring, gasping for air. Every muscle in my body ached intensely, yet a sensation of power ran through every fiber of me. His scent immediately wrapped around me, dominating the environment. I could feel the tension in his muscles as he sniffed the air, following the trail of my scent until it reached its strongest point."Alpha, I thought you were not allowed to be here," I commented as they helped me out of the spring."And he shouldn’t be," Yulli replied in a firm, scolding tone."I wouldn’t have come if it had been brief. She spent the entire night being tested!" the Lycan growled, his aura of displeasure spreading through the air. "She was suffering.""Big guy, that’s how the trials work. Callie went through two, so of course it would take time. Her situation is atypical," the sorceress explained with a sigh. "You’re lucky to
POV: CALLIEI pushed the creaking door, which opened with a low, prolonged groan. The interior of the frozen wilderness welcomed me with a heavy, cutting air that burned my lungs with every breath. I trembled with each step, feeling the cold penetrate my bones. Intense growls echoed in the distance, threatening my determination. I kept walking, fearing the imminent confrontation with the fury of my inner wolf.As I moved forward, I stepped into a puddle of cold water, which made me frown. It was so cold that the water should have been frozen. I looked down and saw my distorted reflection. Half of my face was transformed into my Lupine form. I crouched down, touching the water and disturbing the image. When I lifted my eyes, I found an imposing she-wolf standing in front of me.Her fur was a blend of black tones with purple tips and a few white and golden specks that shimmered, creating a unique and majestic combination.
POV: CALLIEA reddish mist slid over my feet like chains pulling me inside the door. The moment I stepped into the dark space, the environment shifted into ancient runes, while whispers filled the air, guiding the way. I touched the cold, damp wall where moss and slime had accumulated, making the smell of the place unbearable. I walked slowly and carefully, sharpening my hearing, when I caught the sound of footsteps running behind me, forming shadows along the wall accompanied by cold laughter."Well, well, you finally came to find me," a female voice said from somewhere unknown."I have always been here," I replied, stopping in front of a central cauldron. Around it stood a table and shelves filled with books, a setting very different from what I had imagined. "What is this place?""It is where you kept me," the voice echoed near my ear this time, when a powerful gust of wind threw me violently against the booksh
