Se connecterThe Golden Hue Pack warriors answered in a chorus; Alpha Hue’s deep bellow joined theirs. The pack’s unified howl marked their presence and sent a ripple through the attackers. The rogues faltered, instincts screaming caution at the sight of a truly powerful alpha among their foes.Only a handful pressed forward, the ones whose scent was suspiciously altered, those who had tried to mask themselves with a fake rogue odor and hide among the real attackers. For a heartbeat, the battle paused under the weight of Maxwell’s howl and strong presence.The fake rogues kept charging like mindless soldiers on a suicide mission, flooding the Golden Hue Pack’s defenses without hesitation. Their relentless assault puzzled Alpha Hue and his warriors, who were unaware of what had transpired in the Midnight River Pack.They didn’t know that a hidden faction was manipulating the rogues, using them as a smokescreen while blending their own people among the chaos, and controlling the real rogues through
Maxwell didn’t hold back. The moment he was convinced that the cloaked figure was Marcus, he lunged forward with full intent to kill. His body partially shifted, claws elongating, coarse fur spreading along his arms, and his canines sharpening as his golden eyes began to glow with feral light. His face twisted in fury, every muscle tense with hatred that burned hotter than fire."You will die by my hands..." Maxwell growled, his voice a chilling blend of man and beast. The sound carried the depth of his wolf’s rage, low, guttural, and terrifying, like something that had crawled up from the pits of hell itself.The cloaked man froze mid-step, startled by the raw killing intent aimed at him. He didn’t react immediately when Maxwell attacked; instead, his eyes narrowed beneath the hood as if trying to understand.He could feel the searing hatred directed his way, yet confusion flickered within him; he was certain he had never met this man before, never done anything that should earn such
Sylas hadn’t realized Victoria was his mate at the time, and by the time he knew, he’d felt powerless. That delayed fury had only brewed into something fiercer. Now it sat under his skin like boiling lava, ready to explode, and, truth be told, he was a little excited at the thought of making Marcus pay."Roar!"A cacophony of growls and feral howls erupted in the distance, followed by the echoing shouts of warriors reverberating through the forest."The rogues are here!" voices bellowed from every direction, overlapping with the sounds of clashing bodies and the thunderous rustle of trees and bushes. The air trembled with the ferocity of the incoming battle, the growls of rogues and the war cries of pack warriors merging into a single, chaotic symphony of war."Hold your ground!" Alpha Hue roared, his voice cutting through the chaos like thunder. He caught a charging rogue by the throat and slammed it into the ground with crushing force. Without hesitation, he drove his claws down, sm
And once they became rogues, whatever shred of humanity they had left would rot away until all that remained was bloodlust and chaos. That was why most Alphas showed no mercy; rogues were killed on sight."Kill them all!" he growled, his voice reverberating through the pack link as he mindlinked his Beta. "Evacuate the non-combatants and protect the Luna. I’ll hunt the rogues with the warriors!"Only in times like this did his full, domineering Alpha presence truly awaken."Roger that, Alpha. Please take care."Alpha Hue’s Beta replied through the mindlink before quickly turning to organize the evacuation. He ushered the pack members toward the Packhouse and stationed several warriors around it to form a defensive perimeter.However, as he barked orders, a flicker of concern crossed his mind; the mages maintaining the barrier around the field where the locust swarm was being contained would be left vulnerable at this time.It seemed the Alpha, too focused on slaughtering the incoming
And yet, the very person they were speaking of, unaware that she had already become a symbol of courage and hope, was still riding atop Carlisle’s back, blissfully oblivious to the hearts she had touched.’After this experience, I realize my current weapon won’t do,’ Victoria thought to herself. ’I need to change my approach. I don’t like carrying too many weapons, but I can’t deny that I need both a long-range and a close-range option.’She frowned slightly, her thoughts growing heavier. ’The ’Slayer Sword’ is too eye-catching. It’s overpowered; if anyone sees it, their greed might eclipse their reason. I could easily become a target because of it... and end up creating more enemies than I already have.’After wielding the sword, Victoria was certain it wasn’t just an ordinary Paladin’s blade. Diane had likely entrusted her with a true treasure, one that others would surely covet if they ever found out.And so, she resolved to keep it hidden, knowing that secrecy might be the only th
"But if I, in my weakness or failure, wrong you unjustly, then may the Moon Goddess punish me and my bloodline down to the eighteenth generation, to atone for my sin and my incompetence to lead."As she spoke, Victoria gently placed her hand upon Mary’s head, then on her shoulder, a solemn gesture of acceptance and blessing in the name of the Moon Goddess."Now, my servant, rise with confidence and stand tall like an arrow. May your path be illuminated by the Moon Goddess’s blessing, and may success follow you in all that you do."Victoria concluded the simple ceremony with a solemn blessing before stepping back to give Mary room to rise. As soon as Victoria moved away, Mary lifted her head, meeting Victoria’s gentle gaze and warm smile."Thank you, my lord. I will do my best to live up to your expectations," Mary said softly. She then reached out, taking Victoria’s hands in hers, and pressed a reverent kiss to the back of her hand, a gesture of loyalty and devotion, sealing her vow t
Victoria's POV Raquel didn't need to complete her statement. The unspoken words hung in the air, allowing everyone to fill in the blanks with their own assumptions. Speculation spread like wildfire through the hall. What Raquel truly wanted was for everyone to believe that, as Carlisle’s curren
Tori’s POV As instructed, I put on something nice, a dress I had been holding onto, hoping for the day I could wear it in front of Alpha Carlisle, sharing a quiet dinner together. I never imagined that day would come so soon. After washing up and dressing, I applied light makeup to conceal the exh
Tori’s POV The next day, the sun glaringly pierced through the curtains. I couldn't remember when I had fallen asleep the night before, but as far as I recalled, I dozed off in the woods after crying the entire night. But now... I looked around and saw that I was back in the Alpha suite. I was
Tori’s POV I immersed myself in my work, hoping it would help numb the pain slowly consuming my heart. As night descended, no one reached out to me or even sent a mindlink, leaving me feeling utterly isolated, as if I had been cut off from everyone. But I pushed those thoughts aside and focused o
