Mag-log inFor several long seconds after Eugene returned to himself, the entire arena remained silent.The oppressive darkness that had nearly crushed the entire arena moments ago was gone completely now, replaced by the familiar aura everyone once knew.Eugene still held Becca close against him, his breathing uneven as though he had just awakened from a nightmare. His hands trembled slightly around her waist, not from rage anymore but shock.His eyes slowly moved around the battlefield, finally seeing clearly what he had become only moments earlier.The fear still lingering on people’s faces, Brian’s lifeless body lying not too far away and the blood covering his own hands.His stomach twisted violently.Becca immediately cupped his face gently.“You came back. That’s what matters” she whispered quickly but Eugene looked shattered.His gaze moved toward Brian’s body again and guilt hit him so hard his knees nearly buckled.“No, I killed him” he said.He pulled slightly away from Becca, staring
The arena no longer felt victorious, not anymore. Moments ago, wolves had been cheering Eugene’s name with tears in their eyes, celebrating the return of their rightful Alpha.Now, fear had swallowed every ounce of that joy.Brian’s body lay motionless on the bloodstained battlefield, his lifeless eyes staring blankly toward the dark sky above and standing over him was Eugene.The resistance wolves who had fought so hard for Eugene now looked uncertain and some stepped backward instinctively whenever Eugene shifted even slightly.People were losing faith in him and that wasn’t good.Mira noticed it too and her stomach twisted painfully.“This is bad she whispered.Jack’s expression was tense.“Very bad” he added.Eugene himself didn’t even seem aware of it. He simply stood there silently while blood dripped from his claws onto the ground beneath him.Becca stared at him with tears burning painfully in her eyes. Her heart hurt so much she could barely breathe properly. She knew that so
The silence inside the arena became unbearable. The darkness radiating from Eugene no longer felt like ordinary Alpha dominance.It felt unstable, like a predator seconds away from tearing apart everything around him and now, that terrifying gaze was locked entirely on Becca.She immediately regretted her words, not because they weren’t true, but because of the expression that crossed Eugene’s face after hearing them.Around the arena, the celebrating crowd had gone completely quiet again.Becca’s breathing became shaky as Eugene slowly stepped toward her. His heavy boots crushed against broken stone and dirt while blood continued dripping from his wounds onto the battlefield.Yet somehow, he still looked terrifyingly powerful.“Eugene” she whispered carefully but the name didn’t seem to fully reach him.“You would leave me?” His voice came out rough, distorted slightly beneath the unstable growl hidden inside it.Becca’s heart pounded painfully.“That’s not what I—”Suddenly he grabb
Voices rose loudly from every direction as wolves stood from their seats, shouting Eugene’s name with overwhelming excitement and disbelief.The chants spread rapidly through the arena until they became deafening.Months of fear, oppression, uncertainty, and resistance suddenly erupted from the people all at once.Some wolves were crying openly, others knelt, others screamed Eugene’s name repeatedly like they were afraid this moment would disappear if they stopped.At the center of the arena, the victorious Alpha stood completely still, breathing heavily.Blood soaked nearly every inch of him now, dripping steadily onto the shattered ground beneath his feet. The moonlight illuminated the terrifying sight of him standing there with his chest rising and falling slowly, almost unnaturally.His aura still flooded the arena but the unstable wolf had not retreated and that realization unsettled many people despite the celebration.Max noticed it immediately. His smile faded slowly as he sta
Eugene was barely held together by sheer will, blood pouring freely from the deep wound in his chest. His body swayed slightly, but his feet remained planted firmly against the broken earth.Desmond exhaled slowly, rolling his shoulders as if trying to shake off the lingering pain from earlier.“You’re dragging this out,” he said coldly.Leonard stepped forward slightly, his golden eyes gleaming under the dim light.“You’ve proven your resilience, but this is where it ends” Leonard added, almost casually. Eugene’s lips twitched faintly into something that wasn’t quite a smile.“You’ve been saying that,” he rasped.Desmond’s eyes darkened.“I’m serious now.”Eugene lifted his head fully, despite the weight of exhaustion pressing heavily against him.“So am I.”The air shifted and the crowd stirred again, whispers spreading.Max stepped forward, unable to hold back anymore.“Alpha Eugene!” he called out.Eugene didn’t turn but he heard him as Max’s voice grew stronger.“You’ve got this
For a moment, time stopped in the most brutal, suffocating way possible.Blood dripped steadily from the wound, dark and thick as it soaked into the already ruined battlefield. The metallic scent filled the air, heavy enough to choke on.Becca felt like her entire world had shattered. Her knees nearly gave out beneath her, but she forced herself to stay upright. Forced herself to breathe even though every inhale felt like it dragged glass into her lungs.“No.”Her voice came out broken but then something inside her snapped.A sharp, violent shift that turned her grief into rage entirely. Her head lifted slowly, her tear-filled eyes hardened as they locked onto Desmond and before anyone could stop her Becca stood up.“STOP!”Her voice cut across the arena like a blade and the place fell silent again. Even the wind seemed to still.Desmond’s attention shifted toward her slowly. Leonard turned as well, his golden eyes narrowing slightly with interest.Seraphina frowned and Ava scoffed q
The air was heavy with the scent of blood and burning adrenaline, the numerous mass of smells twisting together until it was hard to tell where one ended and the other began. Two dominant auras clashed in the center of the arena—Alpha Eugene and Alpha Desmond—each movement a blur of claws, teeth, a
The grand dining room of the mansion gleamed under the afternoon sunlight filtering through the high arched windows. Despite the elegant serenity of it all, a storm churned quietly inside Eugene’s chest. He sat at the head of the table, shoulders squared, jaw tight, eyes alert—but his heart was n
The heavy doors of the grand dining hall groaned as Desmond and Seraphina stepped out into the sprawling corridor of the Blackwood mansion. The air was cool and still, a stark contrast to the thick tension that had clung to the lunch table they had just left behind. Desmond’s boots echoed down t
In the heart of the pack’s sprawling estate, the excitement was thick, an invisible current pulsing through the walls. Every hallway echoed with movement—warriors preparing, elders whispering, the young ones pressed against windows to glimpse the glowing horizon. Tonight, under the rise of the fu
