ログインFor an immeasurable amount of time, I stood inside Garrett Nightmoor’s tent, pacing back and forth like a caged animal. Which, in a way, I was. There were no iron bars surrounding me, but apparently Wayne had sent two of his men to watch me closely and, the instant their Alpha left me alone, they tied my wrist to the huge, heavy wooden stake that held the entire tent structure upright.All I could do was stand and pace nervously, their eyes following me the entire time, as if my every step was an imminent threat. I knew time was running out and soon they would come for me. Usually, the prospect of seeing Noah would bring me relief, but not today. Not knowing that Garrett and his son would be there, with their swords and fangs, ready to kill him. Not when I had seen their sorceress heal my broken hand so easily.
"There's Goddess magic in her!" Those words seemed to resonate louder in my head than in real life. Especially because having that old lady's eyes on me made me feel... Strange.The same kind of strangeness that had convinced me to follow that she-wolf and get myself into that mess.“Flora?” Lord Nightmoor called, his tone surprised but also careful. “What are you talking about?”“Where did you find her?” she looked me up and down, tapping her staff against the ground again and again, like a nervous tic “And why does everything about you seem so… Confusing? I’ve never seen anything like it…?”“Flora,” he said again, this time louder, finally making her remember that her Alpha was there &ldquo
“Well, I think we should start by resolving this. Give me your hands.” Garrett Nightmoor gestured for me to turn around and, though hesitant, I obeyed “I should have been clearer with Aurora and said that not being rude involved leaving our guest at least a little free.”"Am I a guest?" I asked quietly, looking at him over my shoulder when the rope that bound me disappeared.“If I call you a prisoner, I fear what my stubborn son might do.” He offered a small smile, almost as if apologizing “You look a little pale. Come sit down before you faint.” Garrett invited, as if, in fact, the atmosphere between us shouldn’t be tense “Which reminds me: we still don’t know your name.”“Uh…” I bit the inside of my cheek, unsure if that inf
Wayne pulled me by the arm the whole way like anyone would lead a dog on a leash. Although, to tell the truth, I could barely pay attention to any detail of the trail we were following. And not just because every place in that forest looked exactly the same to me.I was still too shocked by the fact that the man walking calmly behind us, still staring at me with a certain concern, was none other than Garrett Nightmoor. The Alpha of the pack with whom we had been at war for years. Noah and Kaia's greatest enemy. The man I had been so worried about in that dream that I risked everything to find him.Why did the Goddess want me here, being held hostage, when I knew Noah would get furious and start a battle when he saw me in the middle of the packs' encounter?If I could get out of that mess, I would never listen to tha
My legs trembled as if I were about to collapse right there, but miraculously I managed to stay standing, just staring at those two men in horror. Maybe it was that obvious discovery I had just made, or maybe it was the fact that the she-wolf was no longer around to confuse my mind, but…I think I finally realized what I had done.I was alone in the middle of a forest with two soldiers from the Nightmoor clan, without Noah or anyone else to help me, and with no idea how I could get back to camp.I was screwed… So, so screwed…Oh, Goddess…“Wayne, I think she’s going to faint.” That man, the only reason I’d been stupid enough to come all the way there, even though I’d
Without waiting another second, the wolf leaped forward, her small body barely making a sound as she darted toward that forest completely unknown to me. For a second, I wondered if, besides being extremely silent, she also had no scent, just like me, since none of the soldiers had noticed her presence, even though we weren't that far from them.And, Goddess, I hoped they wouldn't notice my absence either, although I knew that was impossible.Gathering my courage, I ventured through those trees full of sharp branches, careful to step only on the soft snow that was beginning to melt, making as little noise as possible. I lost count of how many times I looked over my shoulder, certain that I would find several soldiers coming in my direction, but… Nothing happened. Surprisingly, they still seemed quite engrossed in what they thought they had seen in the for
I think it was the first time in my entire life that everyone, even Dean, allowed me to spend days in bed recovering without being bothered.That even included myself.After the ambush, I don't think I allowed myself to spend even three full days lying down before starting to train again. My wounds
I don't know exactly when I woke up, much less when I managed to gather enough strength to open my eyes.By the glory of the Goddess, I hadn't felt so completely exhausted since the day I almost died. My bones felt like they had liquefied and my whole body was like a puppet with its strings cut. Ev
For a second, Noah's parents just stood there, staring at each other. And I was absolutely certain that a fight would break out if Dean made the terrible decision to challenge our Alpha. Under normal circumstances, it should be Arthur, the one who had been offended
I always thought Noah had a lot of his mother in him, but now I realized I was very wrong. Yes, he had inherited Alpha Kaia's dark hair and eyes, but almost everything else had come from his father. The chiseled nose, the sharp features, the way he looked menacing
