LOGINKERES~The party was louder than I had expected when I arrived. For influential gatherings like this one, I was expecting a cool slow opera but it seems the wolves in the city are more lively than I thought.Music pulsed through the massive hall, accompanied by mindless chatter. Lights shimmered across the ceiling while laughter, conversation, and clinking glasses blended into a chaotic mix of voices.But beneath the music and glamour, I felt something else. The thrilling energy of different pack leaders, their strong auras.Many packs had gathered here.I could sense it in the way people carried themselves. In their sharp gazes. In the controlled dominance that hung in the air. I could tell this wasn’t just a party but a neutral territory.A place where wolves living in the city could relax without hiding what they were.For a moment, I simply stood near one of the large marble pillars and observed.Different packs mingled together.Some Alphas stood in small circles discussing busin
KERES~Dayatt’s arms wrapped tightly around me, so tight and sudden, leaving me with no room to process whatever she might be thinking.For a moment, I simply stood there, stiff. Then I grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back.“You’re crossing a boundary Dayatt.”She stumbled a step away, wiping tears from her face as she looked up at me. Her eyes were red.“You’re really here…” she whispered, with the highest level of pretense.My expression hardened.“How did you know I would be here?”She hesitated for a while then sighed.“I followed you…”My brows lowered slightly, I didn’t get that.“From when?” I asked her.“From the moment you contacted our trade link.” Her confession came out rather quickly now.“I still keep an eye on certain movements in the city so when someone important arrives, I usually know.”She looked at me almost pleadingly.“I realized it was you and I was so happy Keres…” her eyes blinked at the pool of tears gathering in her eyes.My jaw tightened. Of course, s
KERES~The city was loud… not in any way the kind of loud I was used to.It’s not the sounds of my warriors sparring, or the distant rustle of forests on every run. This was something else entirely.Metal roared across endless roads and engines growled as well.I shut my eyes at the honking sound that screamed impatiently.My eyes blurred at the lights blinking in every direction like restless stars trapped in glass cages.I watch as cars rush past each other in organized chaos, their speed and aggression reminding me faintly of territorial wolves, but without instinct.Just noise and chaos.I stood at the edge of the sidewalk for a moment, letting my eyes move slowly across the towering buildings that scraped the sky above me.Three years ago, I would have seen and heard everything more clearly. My wolf would have cataloged every scent, every heartbeat, and hidden threats but now the city smelled dull and muted.The absence of my wolf made the world feel strangely distant.Still, my
SASHA~It had been two days! Two full days since Shawn returned from the city and I hadn’t seen him once.At first, I told myself it was just his schedule. He had always been busy…his position demanded it. For the past three years, his missions,and patrol coordination. His time rarely belonged to him.But two days without even a short visit or a message? That part felt strange.I stood in front of my mirror, adjusting the sleeve of my dress for the third time. Maybe I was overthinking it.That happened a lot whenever it involved Shawn.Our… relationship, if it could even be called that, had always been complicated. Especially over the last three years.Back when Luna Ember first went missing, the entire pack had been thrown into chaos. There were searches, investigations, patrols doubling across territories, interrogations, and merciless raids by Alpha Keres. He brutally went crazy.And romance in the middle of all that turmoil… had felt like a luxury neither of us could afford.So i
KERES~Three years.That was how long it had been since the world I built with my own hands shattered.Three years since Ember vanished without a trace. Years of searching and of unanswered questions.Lonely years of waking up every morning hoping the bond would suddenly spark back to life but it never did. And today was no different.The iron gates of the prison closed behind me with a loud metallic clang as I stepped out into the cold afternoon air. The sound echoed through the quiet yard sharply, like a reminder of the countless times I had walked this same path.I had just finished visiting Elder Maximus… Again.The old man had aged considerably over the past three years. His once proud posture had crumbled into something bitter and hollow. The cell had stripped him of his authority, his dignity, and the influence he once wielded so comfortably within my pack.Yet even now, his stubborn pride remained intact.I had gone there hoping, once again that he might reveal something usefu
KERES~When I first heard the crying, it made my head throb violently, as if someone had struck me repeatedly with a hammer. My body, including, felt heavy, as if it no longer belonged to me.For a moment, I didn’t move as the memory came rushing back all at once. The delivery woman’s word; that I’ll have to choose between the mother and the baby… that one life must be prioritized.I remember choosing Ember, because even I could hear my own voice vividly in my head.My chest tightened painfully at the view before me… had they listened or had they betrayed my decision?Slowly, I forced my eyes around. However, it instantly stressed my brain and vision.The room appears to be dim, lit only by the pale morning light slipping through the window. Shapes were blurry at first, my vision struggling to focus.Finally, it settled on the same woman again, standing a few steps away from the bed. And in her arms, is a baby.Wrapped in soft white cloth… tiny, fragile, and alive.The crying grew lou
