登入Josiah Furtooth stood at the edge of the ruined city, facing Neval with a stiff-backed courage that barely held together under the weight of everything he had seen.
The smoke still hung in the air. Ash drifted over broken streets. Behind him, the surviving pack members waited in tense silence, watching to see whether their alpha could do the impossible and stop the invasion before it claimed what little was left of Osteen.Josiah took a careful breath. “This does not need to become anJosiah Furtooth stood at the edge of the ruined city, facing Neval with a stiff-backed courage that barely held together under the weight of everything he had seen.The smoke still hung in the air. Ash drifted over broken streets. Behind him, the surviving pack members waited in tense silence, watching to see whether their alpha could do the impossible and stop the invasion before it claimed what little was left of Osteen.Josiah took a careful breath. “This does not need to become any worse than it already has.”Neval looked at him without flinching, his expression cold and controlled. “It already has become what it needed to be. Osteen is a Rogue settlement now.”Josiah’s jaw tightened. “You cannot just declare that after burning half the city.”“We can,” Neval said flatly. “And we have.”The answer made the air feel heavier.Josiah tried again, keeping his voice level even as his pulse thundered in his ears. “There are civilians here. Families. Survivo
The purge moved fast.Mist did not waste time on ordinary houses. They passed the homes of civilians and left them untouched, slipping through the dark like shadows with a purpose. Their targets were the ones who had fed the corruption in the city for years.Officials were the first to fall.Those who had taken bribes, covered up crimes, and protected the wicked were dragged from their places of comfort and dealt with without mercy. Their guards could not stop the attack, and their walls did nothing to save them. By the time anyone heard the screaming, it was already too late.Then Mist moved to the merchants.The ones who had grown rich by cheating the poor, stealing from the weak, and selling their goods at cruel prices saw their stalls destroyed one by one. Tables were overturned. Fabric was torn apart. Boxes were smashed open and scattered across the ground. The clean rows of the market became a mess of broken wood, stolen goods, and firelight.
When the ritual hall was finally cleared, the bodies were taken away for a mass grave, and the injured were treated. Zykos was treated too, though Elder Faustino stayed right beside him to make sure he could not cause trouble.After that, Liliana and her family left Osteen with the Winterchase and traveled to Crimson City, the capital of Redborne territory.That evening, they entered a high-end restaurant to have dinner and talk about their next move.Once they sat down, Liliana took the seat beside Clementine. She looked at him for a second, then started laughing before she could even speak.“What?” Clementine asked, raising one brow.“The plan was for you to act scared. Terrified, even. But you did the opposite,” Liliana said through her laughter.The others quickly looked away, not wanting to be caught under Clementine’s glare.“The Winterchase are known to be scholars,” Clementine said. “It would ruin our image if the heir acted like a frightened girl
Matthias moved through the ruined hall like a force of nature.With one hard motion, he tore a berserker in half. Before the next one could even recover, he snapped its head clean off in a single brutal strike, sending it crashing across the blood-slick floor.One by one, the last of the berserkers fell.When the final beast collapsed, Matthias shifted back into his human form, breathing hard, blood spattered across his hands and arms. Around him, the Mist members withdrew from the immediate scene, peeling away with practiced precision to take their next positions now that the front line had been secured.Only then did the survivors begin moving through the wreckage, helping those who could still be saved.Liliana remained in Shaina’s arms as she stared across the ruined hall, her small face solemn. Her gaze drifted over the broken bodies before she lowered her voice and whispered,“Mommy... one elder is still breathing.”She pointed toward the
By the time the berserkers fully flooded the hall, there was no ceremony left to preserve and no illusion of control left to cling to.The sacred space had turned into a battlefield.As the first wave of panic spread, the Mist members immediately moved to guide the Redborne pack’s allies and the neutral pack representatives farther back, away from the center of the hall and out of the berserkers’ path. Confused and frightened, they stumbled as they were ushered toward safety, glancing around in shock and trying to make sense of what was happening, while the Mist kept firm, protective pressure around them until they were well behind Matthias’s line.Only then did the fighters settle into position.Aslan stayed close to Hannah and Clementine, not far from Liliana and her parents, while the rest of their allies and the neutral pack representatives held within the same protected range. They kept their footing as best they could, watching the hall collapse aroun
When Liliana reached the outskirts of the city, she jumped down from Giorge and gave him a sharp nod.“Take position.”The massive wolf wasted no time and disappeared into the distance.Liliana let out one last howl, making sure the berserkers were still following her scent toward the Furtooth Ritual Hall. Then she shifted into her human form just long enough to keep them locked on her trail.Once she was certain they were fully tracking her, she pulled her aura back in and moved on.Neval was already waiting at his position with Orina.When Liliana reached them, Orina quickly helped her out of her combat clothes and into a cute white dress, soft and innocent-looking, the kind of outfit that made her seem like nothing more than a harmless child.When it was done, Orina led her toward Matthias and the others, guiding her through the crowd as if she had only wandered off to play.By then, Zykos’ Alpha naming ceremony was already halfway done.Sunlig
After Richard had fully used Paloma, he leaned back in the chair with a satisfied grunt. He fixed his clothes quickly, then gave her ass a sharp slap. With a grin, he slid two fingers back into her dripping pussy, scooping up his own thick cum. He brought them to her lips and pushed them inside.
On the third day apart from Shaina, Matthias felt the emptiness like a constant ache in his chest. His wolf paced restlessly inside him, craving her touch, her warmth, the way she always submitted so perfectly to him. Work at Redborne Tower dragged on, and every quiet moment made the mate bond pu
Since Liliana was born, Shaina and Matthias had become very busy with pack duties and business. But they always made sure to set aside time for their family. They ate dinner together most nights. They read stories to Liliana before bed. And on quiet mornings, the three of them would walk in the
The weeks after their bonding turned into months of pure heat. Matthias and Shaina could not keep their hands off each other. Whenever Matthias finished his work early and came home to the mansion, Shaina would never leave their shared bedroom. She waited for him there, already wet and ready.The
