INICIAR SESIÓN“Why should I apologize for something I never did, Rowan?” I asked calmly, even though the room was filled with tension. “You heard the horrible things she called me in front of everyone. Why doesn’t she apologize for insulting me first? Everyone here heard what she said.”
Rowan’s face twisted with anger. “So what? Did she li—”“Enough!” Alpha Levi cut Rowan off, raising his large hand and leaving no room for argument. “The wedding is over. Everyone should go home now.”Alpha Levi~ Hazel ~The door slowly opened, revealing a figure who looked like she had stepped out of an ancient legend.A tiny, fragile woman stepped into the room. Her presence instantly changed the air around us. Her long, snow-white hair fell down her back in a thick, shining wave. Her face was covered with deep wrinkles, showing the many years she had lived. She leaned heavily on a long, dark wooden staff.A large white snake was wrapped around her neck. Its smooth, pale scales shone under the dim light, while its golden eyes moved around the room. Its black, forked tongue came out gently.I held my breath as I stared at her in shock.Every child in the werewolf territories grew up hearing stories about her. She was High Seer Vanya, the legendary and most respected seer of the entire Bloodmoon Pack. She was known as the most powerful holy woman in the werewolf world. For three hundred years, she had lived alone in a small hut deep inside the forest and refused to show herself to anyone.An
Rowan’s lips trembled as he opened his mouth to answer my question. But before he could say a single word, a knock sounded on the door.The door creaked open, and Dr. Lucian, the head pack doctor, stepped into the room with a medical bag in his hand.“Greetings, Alpha Levi,” Dr. Lucian said, lowering his head respectfully.I raised my hand slightly to acknowledge him and stepped away from Rowan to give the doctor room to work. “Please, check on Lady Hazel immediately. She collapsed in the arena right after the duel,” I said, pointing toward the bed where Hazel lay still.Dr. Lucian nodded quickly and hurried to the bedside. He opened his bag and took out a smooth glass stone to check her condition. He gently checked the pulse on her wrist, watched her breathing, and placed his hand on her pale forehead to check her temperature.After a few tense moments, the doctor let out a small sigh of relief and turned toward me.“She is out of danger, Alpha,” Dr. Lucian said calmly. “Her body su
~ LEVI ~What in the name of the Moon Goddess was happening right before my eyes?The roaring wind slowly died down, and the cloud of dust began to settle back onto the ground. The dark clouds covering the courtyard slowly disappeared, allowing the morning light to shine into the arena again.Hazel’s face softened. The bright, white light in her eyes flickered once, twice, and then disappeared completely, leaving her deep brown eyes behind. With a tired sigh, she opened her bleeding hand and let the heavy stone sword fall.The huge stone weapon slammed into the ground with a loud thud. Diana flinched and let out a small, frightened squeak as she cowered on the ground.Hazel didn’t say a word. She stepped forward, bent down, and grabbed Diana firmly by the ankles with her uninjured hand. Using the last bit of strength left in her body, Hazel dragged her across the dirt until she was completely outside the chalk boundary.“Lady Hazel is officially the winner of the duel!” Damon announce
~ LEVI ~The sudden, heavy rain disappeared as quickly as it had arrived.Diana ran across the wet mud toward Hazel, her hands tightly gripping the heavy steel handle of Damon’s sharp broadsword. The deadly tip of the sword was pointed directly at Hazel.“Diana! Don’t you dare do that!” I roared, my Alpha voice shaking the entire arena like thunder.I took three quick steps down from the wooden platform and landed heavily on the ground, but I forced myself to stop at the edge of the chalk circle. Every muscle in my body screamed at me to rush inside and tear the sword from Diana’s hands. But the pack law was clear: no one from outside, not even the Alpha, could enter a sacred duel while the fight was still going on. If my foot crossed the chalk line even for a second, Hazel would be disqualified. Diana would automatically win because, at that moment, she had the upper hand.Hazel had given everything she had to this fight. I refused to take away her honor or the victory she had fought
I lay flat on my stomach on the ground, my cheek scraping against the stones as Diana dragged me by my hair.My eyes burned with terrible pain. Every tiny grain of red chili powder felt like boiling oil burning against my eyelids. Tears ran heavily down my face, but everything remained completely dark.A heavy feeling of defeat settled over my chest. I stopped fighting back. I allowed my body to go limp as Diana dragged me across the ground like a broken doll.What was I thinking? How could a fat, wolfless girl like me ever hope to defeat Diana in a real fight? In my past life, she took everything from me. She always won. I was always the loser.Just as my knees scraped against the white chalk line around the ring, a sharp voice suddenly echoed inside my mind.“Are you really going to surrender and let this evil snake defeat us again, Hazel?!” Petraya shouted.“I can’t see, Petraya!” I cried silently in my mind. “My eyes are burning!”“You do not need your eyes to feel the earth benea
Diana charged toward me with a loud, terrifying war cry.Her boots slammed into the ground, kicking up clouds of white chalk and dust as she closed the distance between us in seconds. I stood my ground, but I would be lying if I said I knew what I was doing. I had never fought in a real fighting ring before. The loud shouts of the warriors and the speed of an angry opponent were all completely new and frightening to me. My heart pounded loudly in my ears, and my breathing became short and nervous.Just as fear threatened to freeze my legs, Petraya’s voice echoed inside my mind.“Do not panic, Hazel. Trust your body,” Petraya instructed in a firm voice. “The moment she gets close, dodge her high strike, aim for her stomach, and punch her as hard as you can. She will lose her focus and gasp for air. The moment she bends over, move behind her, wrap your arm around her neck, and…”Before I could hear the rest of Petraya’s plan, Diana was already right in front of me.Her face twisted into
