Alesha Stokes 

Step 01—(Becoming the Prey?)  

I couldn’t move.  

Shock paralyzed me, my wide eyes locked onto the man before me—an impossible vision come to life. My heart pounded so violently against my ribs that I feared he could hear it. Every drop of water trailing down his pale skin only made the moment feel more surreal.  

But that wasn’t the worst part.  

The worst part was his gaze.  

Deep. Sharp. Predatory. As if he were assessing me, studying me—playing with me. There wasn’t a trace of surprise or awkwardness in his expression. Quite the opposite… he seemed to be enjoying this.  

And then, he moved.  

Slowly. Unhurried.  

My breath caught in my throat as he took a step closer. I had never seen a wolf like him before—not in stories, not in legends.  

"What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?"  

His voice scraped against my skin like warm sandpaper. Deep, velvety, laced with amusement that sent a shiver down my spine.  

I should run.  

Step away.  

Do anything but stand there like an idiot.  

But the moment I stepped back, he stepped forward.  

Then, without warning, he leaned in.  

His face stopped mere inches from mine—close enough for me to feel the warmth of his breath ghosting over my skin.  

Close enough for my heart to plummet, lost somewhere deep inside me.  

The air grew thick. My mind spun in a whirlwind of shock, confusion, and something else—something I refused to name.  

He was close. Too close.  

My gaze roamed over his flawless face, his damp skin, the dark strands of hair clinging to his broad shoulders. Everything about him radiated raw power and an overwhelming presence.  

"You look nervous." 

The teasing lilt in his voice made me swallow hard.  

And then, he smiled.  

Not a sweet smile. Not a friendly one.  

It was the smile of someone who enjoyed watching others squirm.  

My legs finally obeyed me, forcing me to take a quick, stumbling step back.  

"I… I must’ve walked into the wrong room."  

The excuse fell weakly from my lips. We both knew he wouldn’t buy it for a second.  

But he didn’t back away.  

If anything, he moved even closer.  

"The wrong room, huh?" He murmured, running his tongue over his lower lip as if savoring the moment. "Interesting… because you don’t look like you want to leave."  

Heat rushed to my face, burning me from the inside out.  

Was this a game? Was he toying with me?  

"I shouldn’t be here."  

"No, you shouldn’t." He nodded slowly. "But you are." 

My heart jolted when he lifted a wet hand, as if to touch my face.  

That’s when I realized just how close he really was. And also…  

My gaze drifted downward, involuntarily. And I saw it.  

He was rigid. Hard.  

Was he… aroused?  

Instinct finally screamed louder than the chaos in my mind, and for a brief second, I thought my heart might explode.  

All I could do was spin on my heels and bolt out of the bathroom, not daring to look back.  

I ran down the hallway, my breath unsteady, my face and neck burning. My footsteps barely made a sound against the cold floor. I just wanted to lock myself in my room and pretend none of that had happened.  

But how?  

His image, his voice, the way his eyes held me captive like chains...  

What the hell was that?  

When I finally reached my room, I slammed the door shut and leaned against it, trying to catch my breath. My heart pounded harder than ever.  

After all...  

Who was that man?  

Just some soldier?  

Or… was he really the Supreme Alpha?  

I had no idea.  

All I knew was that, from now on, I needed to be much more careful about which doors I walked through.  

I threw myself onto the bed, trying to steady my breathing. My body was still hot, and his image refused to leave my mind.  

That gaze.  

That presence.  

That shameless provocation.  

I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing myself to get a grip. This meant nothing. Nothing.  

The Supreme Alpha, according to the rumors, was practically invisible. People said he never looked at women—or at anyone, really—with any sort of romantic interest. He ruled from a distance, isolated, untouchable. So... what the hell was that?  

Everyone even said he was gay… So why the hell did he have a hard-on?  

My entire body burned just remembering that scene.  

Was the man I saw in the shower really just a soldier? Someone of high rank, maybe?  

I wanted to believe that, but deep down, I knew the truth.  

That wasn’t just any man.  

That suffocating power, the way he moved like he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders…  

If I had to bet, I’d say yes. He could only be the Supreme Alpha.  

But I needed to be sure.  

And I would be.  

Tomorrow was the ball.  

The event I’d been assigned to help prepare. The perfect opportunity to finally see, with my own eyes, the untouchable wolf who ruled over all of us.  

My heart pounded at the thought.  

Because I wouldn’t be the only one seeing him.  

He would see me too.  

And then? What would happen?  

I had no idea. Not a clue.

    Michelle MorripinAlone, safe inside that carriage, I allowed my body to finally relax. I could close my eyes and believe that, yes, we were safe. That I had survived.Matthew held me tightly in his arms, being protective, as if everything were dangerous to me. I tried to convince him that I was fine. He didn't need to carry me around as if I were fragile. But he wouldn't listen to me.Matthew just positioned my shoulders against his chest and murmured softly, as if whispering:"I won't let you go. Not now, not ever."The tone of his voice... there was no room for discussion. And deep down, it brought me a warmth I didn't even remember I could feel. He wasn't just holding me as a protector. It was more than that. It was as if my absence was a burden impossible to bear, as if his very breath depended on me being there, trapped in his arms.The gentle rocking of the carriage centered me, and I felt the tension slowly melt away. I felt everything relax, my mind calmed down a little, and

    Michelle MorripimWhen I opened my eyes, I blinked them for a moment... And then... It occurred to me that everything that had happened was a nightmare. That the time I spent in the basement, those chains on me, that Glen was just a figment of my tired mind.But... It wasn't a nightmare.The memories came flooding back... I remembered everything. It was all engraved in my memory.But it all disappeared when I looked at Matthew.He was there. For real.It wasn't a dream, it wasn't a hallucination.It was him.I clutched his chest with my hands, desperate, as if my body was afraid he would evaporate again, as if everything would fall apart if I let go. I didn't want to, I couldn't lose him again.All around us, the landscape was changing. The snow gave way to the village walls. The gate was open, wide open, and my heart sank. Was it safe? Or were we walking straight into another trap?"Matthew..." I whispered, my voice fragile. "What if everything isn't okay?"He didn't stop, didn't

    Matthew DawolfCarrying Michelle out of that filthy hole was like pulling myself out of that darkness. Every step I took away from that basement smelling of blood and pain was like we were finally burying all of that, but it didn't matter anymore.Because now, I had her in my arms. And that was all that mattered.When the door opened and the brightness of the snow hit my eyes, I saw her face change. Michelle stared at me as if she still couldn't believe she was alive... but then her eyes found something beyond me. I followed her gaze.It was that female from before.There, sitting in the snow, but steady. Even wounded, she was strong, refusing to fall, to give in. There was too much blood, countless wounds, and yet the way she stared at us was not one of defeat. It was one of victory. She had fulfilled her role. She had protected those who needed to be protected.And when I saw the look she exchanged with Michelle... I understood.It was more than friendship. It was the true bond tha

    Michelle MorripinI couldn’t—wouldn’t—believe it.At my feet lay his body. That monster. The man who had turned my life into hell since my very first breath. The one who carried the name of my pain, the weight of my mother, the blood of my father, and the shadow over all my days. He was dead. Fallen before me.And in front of me—was him.Matthew.My chest tightened in a way that hurt more than any wound I had ever taken. It was real. He was there. Not a dream, not a delusion. He had come to me. He had crossed through hell to reach me. To save me.I raised my hands to his face, touching his skin, making sure he was real, and I saw in his eyes… that it was him. But deep down, way down in his eyes, I realized—that Matthew wasn’t the same as before.I could feel it. Something in him was different.His wolf… no, not just his wolf. It was something greater, deeper.And while I stared at him, still trying to understand, he kissed me.This time, nothing could stop us, no distance, no hesitati

    Matthew DawolfThe air refused to enter my lungs.With every step I took toward that cabin, the smell of blood filled my nostrils more and more. I knew it was there. I could feel it. I pushed the door so hard that the wood almost broke against the wall. I rushed down the first few steps in desperation until I bumped into something, someone. My eyes caught her quickly, even before my instincts told me who she was.She froze when she saw me. Her eyes trembled, perhaps from weakness, perhaps from disbelief."Your Majesty!" Her voice came out shocked, trembling, and firm at the same time, and then she stared at me, panicked, screaming as if she knew exactly what I was looking for. "She's downstairs, please hurry... If not... he'll kill her!"She spoke with her head bowed in reverence, her words coming out more than urgent, almost like a prayer, and I understood immediately.She was one of the women who had been with Michelle, who had helped her escape. Edward had mentioned it; there was

    Glen J. BakerI had her.I finally had her pinned beneath my body, her fragile frame struggling in vain, her tear-filled eyes only making me want to crush her harder against the floor. Michelle Morripin… or Helena, as I preferred to think. What was left of Helena, at least.I wasn’t going to lose again. I wasn’t going to let her escape. If I had to keep her corpse for myself, then I would. This time, she would be mine—dead or alive.My fangs sank into her throat, feeling her breath falter, life spilling from her eyes.But then… something inside me broke.My blood froze all at once.My muscles turned stiff, rigid, as if they no longer belonged to me. I wanted to press harder, to finish it quickly, but my jaw wouldn’t obey. My wolf, that damned beast always ready to serve me, was silent. He didn’t roar, didn’t push me forward. He… was mute.No.Worse—he was afraid.Afraid?I didn’t understand. That couldn’t be.I am Glen J. Baker, Alpha of Neveryth. I fear nothing.And that’s when I hea
