INICIAR SESIÓNBlackwood mansion had become restless. Servants whispered nervously in corners, guards moved through the halls with unusual urgency and fear lingered heavily in the air after news spread that Becca had been attacked outside the mansion.But while panic consumed most of the mansion, Seraphina felt something entirely different.She felt nothing but amusement for how stupid Becca had been to have gone outside during a time when things in various territories were unstable. She walked calmly through one of the quieter hallways with elegant, unhurried steps, her maid dress dancing to the sway of her hips while candlelight flickered along the stone walls around her.Unlike everyone else, she wasn’t rushing toward the healer’s chambers, she wasn’t worried. If anything, she was curious whether Becca would survive.A faint smile almost touched her lips at the thought then suddenly, soft footsteps approached from the opposite corridor.Seraphina lifted her gaze to see Ava who moved carefully th
Blackwood mansion descended into chaos the moment Eugene carried Becca through the front gates.Guards rushed aside instantly, servants froze in shock and whispers spread through the halls like wildfire the moment they noticed the blood staining Becca’s clothes.“Move!”Eugene’s furious voice echoed through the mansion as he stormed through the corridors carrying Becca tightly against his chest.Nobody dared get in his way, not with the Alpha King looking this terrifying.His eyes burned with panic and rage while his Alpha aura suffocated the hallway around him.Behind him, Mira hurried alongside Max and Jack while several guards rushed ahead to clear the path toward the healer’s chambers.Becca winced weakly in Eugene’s arms. Every movement hurt, pain twisted through her stomach in horrible waves, and fear consumed her more than the pain itself.Her baby was all she cared about. “Oh God” she whispered shakily.Eugene immediately looked down at her.“Stay awake" he told her.His voic
The forest blurred around them as Eugene moved swiftly through the darkness with Max, Jack, and nearly a dozen armed guards following behind.Moonlight filtered through the trees while branches snapped beneath hurried footsteps.Jack remained slightly ahead of everyone else, his heightened senses focused entirely on tracking Becca’s scent through the forest.“I’ve got it. They came through here” he said sharply while crouching briefly near disturbed leaves. Eugene’s jaw clenched tightly.“Hurry" he said.Jack immediately moved again and the guards followed without hesitation.Nobody dared slow down, not with the Alpha King radiating this much fury and panic at once.Eugene’s eyes scanned the dark forest relentlessly while his heart hammered violently inside his chest.Every terrible possibility kept forcing itself into his mind.Beside him, Max looked equally tense.“Mira better be okay,” he muttered darkly.Eugene barely heard him. His thoughts remained consumed by Becca and the ima
The rogues continued advancing slowly through the forest, like predators savoring the fear of cornered prey.Branches cracked beneath their boots while low growls echoed from every direction, surrounding Becca and Mira completely.The moonlight filtering through the trees only made the situation feel more terrifying.Becca’s pulse hammered violently inside her chest.They were trapped.Mira subtly moved closer beside her.“There’s too many,” she whispered tightly.Becca’s jaw clenched.“I know.”The scarred rogue leader smirked while watching them carefully.“You two can make this easy, or we can enjoy making it difficult,” he said.“Go to hell,” Becca snapped immediately.Several rogues laughed darkly.“Oh, she’s definitely Eugene’s Luna.”“Careful, the little Luna bites,” another mocked.Mira lowered her voice quickly.“When I say run…” She began.Becca frowned.“They’ll catch us.”“Probably.”“That’s not reassuring.”“But standing here definitely gets us kidnapped” sje countered.
Eugene sat alone in the darkness of his chambers. Only the faint glow from the fireplace illuminated the massive room, casting restless shadows across the walls while silence pressed heavily around him.The silence felt unbearable tonight.His elbows rested against his knees while one hand covered part of his face. Exhaustion weighed on him heavily and it was not just physical. Emotional exhaustion was also present. It was the kind that hollowed a person out from the inside.His mind replayed the healer’s words over and over again. Every single time he remembered it, something twisted painfully inside his chest.He still wished the results had turned out differently. He wished the healer had announced there had been a mistake because the truth had destroyed everything within seconds.Becca’s devastated expression flashed through his mind again and Eugene shut his eyes tightly. The pain in her voice had been worse than any physical wound he’d ever suffered.The worst part was that he
The forest had gone deathly still with no movement except the shifting shadows between the trees.Becca slowly stepped backward until her shoulder brushed against Mira’s. Both women stood frozen as glowing eyes began appearing from the darkness one after another.Mira’s breathing became uneven instantly.“Oh no" she muttered. Low growls echoed around them and branches cracked beneath heavy footsteps as several figures slowly emerged from the shadows surrounding them.At least eight rogue wolves were visible and maybe more were hidden deeper in the trees.They were massive men dressed in torn leather and dark fur, their faces rough and scarred from years of violence and survival outside pack law. Some had partially shifted claws and glowing eyes, while others carried weapons strapped to their backs.Every single one of them looked dangerous and Becca’s stomach dropped immediately.“We need to run,” Mira whispered.Becca’s jaw tightened.“They’re already surrounding us" she said.The r
The night held its breath.Torches burned along the stone walls of the hideout, their flames flickering violently as if even fire could sense the fury brewing between the Alphas standing face to face. The cold air was thick with tension, so thick it felt like it could be cut with a blade.Eugene s
Eugene snapped, not the slow, simmering fury that had been burning in his chest since Desmond’s laughter echoed across the resistance hideout, but a violent, instinctive break, the kind that came from a wolf pushed beyond restraint.The soldiers holding him barely had time to react.One moment, the
The first scream cut through the strategy chamber like a blade.Eugene’s head snapped up instantly, his instincts roaring before his mind could catch up.“That wasn’t from the outer tunnels,” Dorian said sharply. “That was inside.”Robin swore under his breath. Sax straightened from the map table,
Jack stood in his chambers, sleeves rolled slightly, preparing for what should have been an ordinary evening by Blackwood standards but tonight, the walls felt thinner.Outside his window, too many torches moved. Guards crossed the courtyard in groups instead of pairs, armor gleaming beneath the mo
