Se connecterGreta couldn’t breathe. Her entire body had gone stiff with terror as she stared at the dead rogue sprawled across the dusty floor.Blood slowly spread beneath the corpse while the man’s neck remained twisted at a horrifying angle that no living wolf could survive.Standing there beneath the dim lantern light in simple servant clothing, he looked nothing like the former Alpha King who once ruled the Blackwood pack beside Luna Queen Seraphina and yet, Greta had never been more terrified of him than she was now.Her pulse hammered painfully against her chest while her frightened eyes remained locked on him.Desmond slowly turned fully toward her and she instinctively took a shaky step backward.Desmond noticed immediately but his expression remained calm.“Greta,” he said quietly.Her breath caught instantly. She swallowed nervously while lowering her gaze slightly.“M-My Alpha…”The title slipped out instinctively despite the fact that Eugene ruled now.“You seem frightened,” Desmond o
The Blackwood mansion had finally grown quieter despite the earlier news that had descended not too long ago.Most servants had retreated to their quarters after hearing Luna Becca and her unborn child were no longer dying.The guards had relaxed slightly and many believed the worst of the night had finally passed but they were terribly wrong.Far away from the healer’s chambers, the worried faces and whispered prayers, Desmond moved silently through one of the abandoned sections of the mansion.The northern wing had long been forgotten by most residents after part of it suffered damage years ago during a territorial attack.Now it remained mostly empty with dusty hallways, broken furniture covered in white sheets and dark corners untouched for years.It was the perfect place for secret meetings.Desmond walked calmly through the darkness with one hand tucked behind his back while irritation simmered beneath his composed expression.His sharp eyes scanned the empty corridor carefully
The hallway outside the healer’s chambers had become unbearably tense.Servants whispered nervously while stealing glances toward the mysterious stranger standing before Alpha Eugene.His eyes remained fixed coldly on the man who called himself Tyler.Even now, despite everything Mira had explained about him saving their lives in the forest, Eugene still didn’t trust him.Tyler seemed to understand the suspicion directed toward him. He stood calmly beneath the dim candlelight with no signs of fear despite being surrounded by armed guards and an enraged Alpha King.Mira still found that unsettling.Most wolves trembled around Eugene when he was angry but this man didn’t.Eugene folded his arms tightly.“You expect me to believe you can save her?”Tyler held his gaze evenly.“I know I can help.”“That’s not an answer.”Tyler exhaled slowly before reaching into the dark bag hanging across his shoulder. Immediately, several guards drew their weapons and Eugene’s eyes flashed dangerously.
The healer’s chamber doors shut heavily behind Eugene and Mira and the sound echoed sharply through the hallway.For several seconds, neither of them moved.The atmosphere outside the chambers felt suffocating.Servants walked nervously through the corridors carrying bowls of water, herbs, and clean cloths while guards stood nearby waiting for orders.Everyone looked tense.Fear had settled over the mansion like a storm cloud.Eugene stood directly in front of the closed doors with his hands clenched into fists so tightly his knuckles had gone pale.His breathing was uneven.Inside those chambers, Becca was unconscious, bleeding, possibly dying and there was nothing he could do about it.The helplessness was driving him insane.Mira leaned tiredly against the wall nearby while trying to steady her own breathing. She still looked pale from everything that happened in the forest.Her clothes were dirty, her hair disheveled, and fear remained visible in her eyes despite her attempts to h
Blackwood 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 stone corridors of the Blackwood mansion echoed with murmurs and scattered laughter as the doors were opened once again to call the guests back in. The hunt had begun in the forest beyond, but within the estate walls, the energy remained electric. The grand hall buzzed with guests who had dec
(Few moments before the explosion)The clinic was cloaked in a hushed stillness, broken only by the soft rustling of bandages and the occasional groan of pain. Lyle, one of the three injured wolves, lay sprawled across the nearest cot, his face pale and drawn, eyes half-lidded. A soft groan escap
The morning sun rose high in the sky, casting its crimson hue over the battlefield in the heart of Blackwood Pack territory. Lifeless bodies lay all across the town square, their torn limbs and lifeless eyes a gruesome testament to the violence that had erupted the night before. The air was thick
The room was heavy with silence. The aftermath of the earlier chaos lingered like the scent of blood in the air—cold and filled with tension. Pieces of furniture were overturned in the room due to the shockwave that had rippled through during the fight from the broken hallway.A cracked window le
