ANMELDENCarlisle marched down the stairs with purpose, his expression hard and unreadable. Sylas followed closely behind, silently observing the sudden shift in his Alpha’s demeanor. Carlisle moved like a man on a mission, determined, focused, as if clinging to some unspoken resolve.After a few moments, Sylas finally broke the silence. "Alpha Carlisle, the Royal Convoy has arrived. They’re resting in their suites now. If you wish to speak with them, I can arrange a meeting."Carlisle didn’t slow his pace. "No need," he replied curtly, his voice flat and dismissive, leaving no room for discussion."Then what about Miss Raquel’s condition? Do you wish to check on her? Or should I inform the Royal Convoy of the situation instead?" Sylas asked, his tone calm on the surface but laced with a sharp, mocking edge.The unspoken message rang loud and clear. Isn’t she the mistress you chose over your Luna? Why the sudden silence now? Why aren’t you checking on her and your pup?Carlisle caught the barb
Sylas’s POVWhile most would try to hide the shame of our Luna running away from her Alpha and our territory, if only to save face for the Alpha and protect the reputation of the entire pack, I was different. I hated my Alpha. I hated the people of my pack for hurting our Luna so deeply that she had no choice but to leave.So instead of covering it up, I wanted them all to suffer. I wanted to expose every wound, every injustice, even if doing so meant torturing myself in the process. The pain from the backlash of the oath I swore burned through my body, but I endured it.Fine. Let’s all get damned together. It’s the least we deserve for what we put Luna Victoria through, three years of scorn, hatred, and suffering in this wretched pack.My hand trembled slightly from the pain, but I forced a smile onto my face as I led the Royal Convoy and their entourage into the pack house, guiding them toward their suites as though nothing was wrong.I was certain Victoria was still alive. After wa
To cover thousands of miles in an instant, Jayden had to gather a significant amount of rare ingredients and supplies to perform the complex spell needed to open a stable portal from the Royal Grounds to the edge of the Sacred Lands and another to return. The spell was intricate, time-consuming, and costly, but he had no other choice. Victoria's life depended on it. With the teleportation portal, their travel time would be cut drastically perhaps even by half. Still, Jayden could only hope he would be able to persuade the Saintess quickly. If she refused or hesitated, there was no telling how long it might take to bring her back if he could bring her back at all. Sending a disciple in his place was out of the question. This mission required sincerity and humility, and delegating it would risk offending the Saintess. They were the ones in need of help, and they had to demonstrate that truth with utmost respect. After everyone left the medical ward, silence fell once more. Meanwhile,
Hatred simmered within the Alpha King as his wolf snarled furiously inside him. "No one hurts my pup! No one! I’ll tear them to pieces!" the wolf growled in his mind, its fur bristling, fangs bared, ready to leap and destroy.The Alpha King was on the verge of losing control, struggling to keep his wolf at bay. Though his rage mirrored the beast within, he couldn’t afford to unleash it. His wolf had lost all reason and would rip through anything in its path. But the effort to restrain it was taking its toll. He felt utterly drained, his strength slipping away as the battle raged within.It felt as though he had just uncovered a secret that had been buried for years a long-standing conspiracy orchestrated by the Vampires to bring down their kind. They might not be simply retreating after the war; they might be playing the long game.Perhaps their sudden withdrawal wasn’t a sign of the werewolves’ victory, but a calculated move. They were waiting. Waiting for the werewolves to weaken fr
There was no mistaking the face of the girl lying in the bed,it was his daughter. Though thinner and more gaunt than he remembered, her features were unmistakably hers. But her once radiant golden hair had turned a dull brown.As if that wasn’t shocking enough, the royal doctor stepped closer and carefully opened one of Victoria’s eyes.Her gaze, once a vibrant gold, was now a muted hazel brown."What... what’s going on?" the Alpha King asked, his voice laced with worry. "Why are her eyes so different? They should be golden..."Victoria had always had long golden hair, which would sometimes turn silver when her wolf emerged. Her golden eyes were the unmistakable mark of the Royal Bloodline. But now, staring down at her, he saw only hazel brown eyes completely foreign and unsettling.Jayden interjected, his voice steady but tinged with uncertainty. "Could this be the curse Alpha Maxwell mentioned?" he suggested. "It’s just speculation, but perhaps, in order for the vampires to smuggle
Alpha King’s POVI furrowed my brows. Too many things weren’t adding up and others were starting to notice as well.It was clear that the situation was far more complicated than it appeared, and we needed to proceed with extreme caution. At the same time, we had to keep the incident strictly confidential and ensure Victoria remained hidden for now.I immediately sent a mindlink to my Royal Beta. "Inform one of the Convoys that was close to head to the Red Moon Pack and quietly assess the situation there. And keep the princess’s return a secret no one must find out. Make sure the rest of the Royal Convoy doesn’t suspect anything unusual. Report everything directly to me.""Understood, Your Majesty."For now, all I could do was wait for the report from the Royal Convoy sent to the Red Moon Pack. It seemed that the root of all these anomalies originated there, and I was determined to uncover the truth.After receiving my instructions, the Royal Beta successfully relayed the message to th
