MasukCaspianMy blood was practically boiling with the thrill of a fight I’d been holding back for way too long.I stood tall right in the middle of the dusty arena. All around me, dozens of warriors clad in head-to-toe black stood in a wide ring.They were watching my every move with deep respect, though I could catch a subtle hint of curiosity lurking beneath it all."Alpha!" a loud, slightly challenging voice cut straight through the silence of the arena.A tall wolf warrior with bulging muscles stepped forward from the ranks. I recognized him immediately from Gamma Oliver's reports.Lex was one of the youngest, most talented, and powerful warriors in this pack—famous for courage that crossed the line into arrogance more often than not."It’s been a proper while since we last saw what you’re capable of in the flesh, Alpha," Lex piped up with a slight smirk, unable to hide his impatience."How about demonstrating a quick spar with the pack’s top warrior this morning? Think of it as a war
CaspianWe’d been soaking in the bath for an hour, and all the while I was fighting off the sheer lust roaring inside my wolf’s mind. Morpheus was desperate for us to mate after two weeks of nothing.Now, Lulu was sitting on the edge of the bed in a silk nightgown that had slipped off one shoulder, while I stood behind her holding the hairdryer. Warm air blew gently, ruffling her long, golden-blonde hair.I ran my fingers through her hair as it began to dry. It felt ridiculously soft against my skin, just like the finest silk."Your hair always drives me mad, Lulu," I husky-whispered near her ear, breathing in the sweet floral scent drifting off every clean strand. "So soft... and smells amazing."Lulu closed her eyes, letting my touch and the warm breeze soothe away the last bit of tiredness from her long journey.After switching off the hairdryer and popping it on the bedside table, I slowly turned her around until those bright, beautiful eyes were looking up at me.Without hanging
LuluCaspian stared at my absolutely disheveled state, his eyes completely full of protective instincts and a deep, intense longing.Without wasting a single second, Caspian turned to the head Omega who was standing on standby near the hall's stone pillars. "Get some warm water ready with the best flower aromatherapy in my private bathhouse right now. Make sure the temperature is spot on for relaxing the body."The head Omega bowed respectfully and rushed off to carry out the supreme Alpha’s orders without a sound.I let out a massive, heavy sigh and turned around to look at Dorian, who’d been walking silently behind me the entire time. The bloke looked just as shattered as I felt. Being proper careful, I handed over the small clay jar filled with the Iqxe Mud."Hold onto this, Dorian. Keep it completely safe in your pavilion until it’s time for Elijah’s protection ritual," I said, my voice sounding a bit hoarse.Dorian took the jar from me, giving a slow nod with a flicker of underst
LuluThe trek back from the Southern Swamps was an absolute killer, completely draining both my wolf and my magic. Still, I was clutching a small clay jar filled with the mud needed to shield my boy from the Dark Sorcerers’ spells.But any relief I felt vanished the second I spotted a line of black vehicles parked right outside the main gates.Standing guard there were a few wolves with that rigid, upright posture I knew all too well."Luna Lulu." A Sapphire Water gatekeeper rushed over, bowing respectfully but unable to hide the sheer panic in his eyes. "You're back. Forgive us, but there’s a massive situation inside.""Who’s turned up?" I asked, quickening my pace."Alpha Scott, Luna. He’s brought his elite squad and is currently in the pack house with Alpha Caspian."Hearing that name made my blood boil. Of all the wolf pack welcomes I’d expected after everything I'd been through, this definitely wasn't it.Without wasting another second, I practically sprinted across the massive c
CaspianI was standing out on my study balcony, having a final few sips of my warm herbal tea, when the mind link cracked open in my head.[Alpha Caspian, the patrol wolves on the outer border are reporting movement. A convoy’s just crossed the outermost perimeter. It’s Alpha Scott from Emerald Earth, and he’s brought his elite squad with him.]I set my porcelain cup down without making a sound. Instead of being shocked, a cold smirk crept onto my face. The wolf inside me let out a thoroughly satisfied grunt.Finally. The wounded rat had actually turned up, walking straight into my trap.I’d been waiting for this exact moment. Thanks to Erick—my best spy, who’d been playing his part flawlessly over at Emerald Earth—I knew exactly what kind of absolute shitstorm had just broken Scott’s mental stability.I knew all about the love potion Elder Ruth had forced down Scott’s throat, and I knew the bastard had finally realised Lulu’s elemental heart had been ripped out just to benefit anothe
Erick"Erick, make sure all the weapons are sorted," Scott ordered. It was the first time I’d ever seen him hesitate, and you could hear it plain as day in his raspy, shaking voice. He was packing up, getting ready to head off to Sapphire Water tonight. Right as Scott was buttoning up his battle cloak, the office door was slammed wide open from the outside. Leia burst into the room with her hair all over the place and her gown ripped in a few spots. Her face, usually dripping with arrogance, was completely soaked with tears. Throwing away all her pride as an Elder's daughter, she screamed hysterically at Scott. "Scott, let my mum go! How on earth can you lock her up in the dungeons?!" Leia shrieked, her voice piercing through the whole room. "My mum did everything for you!" Scott didn't even bat an eye. He just kept packing his gear like Leia was nothing but thin air.Seeing that cold reaction, Leia’s defenses completely shattered. She dropped to her knees on the freezing metal f
ElariaMy fingers trembled as I ran the comb through Mary Ann’s red hair. It was still the same as twenty years ago—bright red, coarse, and crackling with energy, like it could burn my skin at any moment.But today, that red no longer meant rebellion on the academy rooftops.Today, it was framed by
Lulu“So… we’re still moving rooms, right?” I asked, hoping Caspian would agree.“Yeah,” he said, though he hesitated.I knew why. He didn’t want to disrespect our host’s offer. Refusing would only make things harder for us here. Elaria’s goodwill was the one thing we could use if we wanted to inve
CaspianThe door barely qualified as a door by the time I finally broke through it. The wood split clean down the middle, the hinges tore loose, and the crash echoed far too loudly down the corridor.I didn’t care.None of it mattered the moment my eyes landed on the one thing that made my blood fr
Lulu“So,” Alpha Caspian said, “what’s your answer, Lulu?”His voice was calm. The kind of calm that told me he wouldn’t accept half-truths or polite smiles. I stood in the middle of the boutique, surrounded by expensive outfits that felt more intimidating than a room full of Alphas.Honest. The wo
