ログイン"Damn it! What the hell are these creatures?!" Hunter roared as a pair of rotting hands with sharp claws tried to grab his ankles.With one stomp of his foot coated in pure Alpha energy, Hunter crushed the skull into black dust. But all around us, the hysterical screams of the rogue wolves grew more frantic. The white snow in the valley turned a deep purple as their life essence began to be sucked into the ground, flowing toward the feet of the silver-haired woman at the cliff's edge."Zane! Activate the static traps on the outer perimeter now!" Seth barked, his silver axe spinning through the air, severing three undead hands attempting to crawl up the pavilion stairs.Zane wasted no time. He slammed both palms onto the stone ground, releasing all his remaining golden static energy into the modified Zunter trap network.BZZZZZZT!A massive explosion of golden electrical current surged across the valley floor, instantly severing the grip of those rotting hands and giving the rogues tim
"Get Elder Thaddeus to the medical bed! Now!" Zane shouted, his voice cutting through the panic that had briefly erupted at the doorway.Zane leaped from the tactical table, letting his golden static flare brightly to illuminate the pavilion that had suddenly become ominous. Hunter and Seth moved quickly, hoisting the old, trembling body of Thaddeus as black ice crept across his skin.I handed Aria, who had just finished nursing, into Marcus's warm embrace. "Father, keep Aria in the safest corner. Don't let her be touched by any draft from the door."Marcus nodded firmly, his aged face hardening with the protective resolve of a grandfather. He carried our little daughter to the corner of the room near the fireplace, shielding her with his own large body.I knelt beside Thaddeus's bed, staring at his left arm, now completely covered in a thick layer of pitch-black ice. The frigid cold emanating from the wound was no ordinary ice; it was a manifestation of the blood-freezing magic of Th
"Don't let go of us, Inka! Stay focused on our bond!" Zane cried out in the suddenly pitch-black darkness. His usually calm voice was now filled with immense pressure. His grip on my wrist tightened, as golden static from his body erupted as the only source of light in the room. All around us, the terrifying sound of thousands of black, purple-eyed bats flapping their wings echoed, slamming against the window glass and the stone vents of the pavilion, creating a deafening screeching sound. The dim moonlight of the West faction was completely blocked by those thousands of cursed wings. The air inside the room suddenly turned freezing cold, crushing the wave of passion and intimacy of our energy union that had just begun. Hunter moved swiftly. Ignoring his bare-chested body, he leaped in front of Aria's baby basket, making his massive body the first living shield. "Seth! Zane! Secure Inka! Their blood magic is trying to disrupt the triple bond circulation!" Seth pressed his body ag
INKA "Damn it! They dare threaten us on our own land?!" Hunter roared furiously, his fist slamming into the stone wall of the pavilion with such force that it cracked deeply. The sound of the impact echoed, causing Aria, who was in the baby basket, to startle and begin whimpering. Seth quickly knelt beside the basket, rocking our daughter with gentle, rhythmic movements. His calming earthy scent spread through the air, lulling Aria back to sleep. However, Seth’s jaw tightened, and his brown eyes flashed with cold rage. "Forcing their way into our *pack link*... Their blood magic is definitely not an empty threat." Zane stared at the purple Lunar leaf in his hand, which slowly melted into a black blood-like liquid on the floor. His analytical face looked extremely pale. "The next lunar eclipse is in three nights. They deliberately gave us a very tight deadline so we’d panic and make reckless decisions." I sat on the edge of the bed, pulling my robe tighter around my suddenly cold
"Zane, do you see it?" Seth whispered, his body tensing behind me, both arms wrapped protectively around my stomach while his gaze remained fixed on the distant rocky hilltop."Yes. Their energy frequency isn't detected by any tactical compass. This is pure ancient blood magic," Zane replied, his voice cold as ice. His hand, locked with mine, suddenly tightened, channeling a flow of residual triple bond energy to calm my heart that had begun to race wildly.The crimson-robed figures on the hilltop slowly turned, disappearing into the night mist of the Western faction as if they were mere illusions. Yet, the pungent, chilling stench of blood still lingered in the air, disturbing our werewolf senses.Hunter let out a rough snort, his fangs grinding in anger. He looked down, kissing the top of my head possessively before glancing at Aria, who had fallen back into a deep sleep in my arms. "They think they can peek into our home and just leave like that? I'll take some rogue warriors to ch
"They're looking for sanctuary, just like we were, Inka," Zane whispered near my ear. His sharp eyes scanned the rows of thousands of rogue wolves kneeling in perfect formation along the rocky hillside slopes. "To the world, they're trash and fugitives. But here, they're the foundation of a force no faction can afford to underestimate."Hunter lowered me from his back with extreme care, making sure my feet touched down steady on the dry soil of the Western faction. The moment my body stood upright, Elder Thaddeus stepped closer. In his arms, little Aria stirred slowly, then opened her clear golden eyes.Seeing my daughter safe, the weakness in my body from Silas's eclipse stone evaporated instantly. I immediately took Aria into my arms, burying my face against her silk-soft cheek. Hunter, Seth, and Zane instantly surrounded us, forming a protective wall on instinct. Through the pack link, I could feel the overwhelming surge of pride and love from my three Alphas as they watched their
HUNTER'S POVShe came to us.I kept thinking about that while I stacked firewood in the early morning. The repetitive work that had wrecked my hands two days ago now felt almost meditative—find the branch, break it, stack it. Find, break, stack.She came to us.Not because we asked. Not because Eld
INKA'S POVI couldn't explain it if someone asked me to.There was no single moment that pushed me toward the decision. No revelation. No dramatic realization in a mirror somewhere. Just a quiet accumulation of small things that had been building since the night the ward line broke and three men in
INKA'S POVThe emergency bell rang at three in the morning.I was on my feet before I was fully awake, white robe pulled on with shaking hands, Sister Claire already at the door."What's happening?" I asked."I don't know." She was pale. "That bell only rings for—""Zunter." Ruth's voice from the c
INKA'S POV I found Ruth in the medical room after lunch. She was restocking shelves, back to me."I talked to them," I said.Ruth didn't turn around. "I know.
