Third's Pov"The territory is protected," said one of his men looking at him, "Since they took it they have increased the warriors at the borders and no one enters and leaves without authorization"The man snorted and shook his head, resting his chin on his clenched fist as he stretched his legs and stroked with his free hand the other armrest of his iron throne." And she is locked up there?" asked the frowning king."No, sire," replied his man, "But she is never without any control, we tried to follow her into the city, but she was always surrounded by at least five warriors," he replied.A growl erupted from his mouth as he found himself punching the armrest "It's not possible!" he shouted this time.The men bowed their heads in submission as the walls trembled under his power." It's been weeks and you still haven't been able to bring her to me!" cried the angry king "Soon she will reach eighteen years and before that date the heat will begin, if she is not here for that time I wi
KyleAs soon as he came out of the packhouse, I changed into my wolf, jumping into the air and landing on all four legs. Kairo was revving up, ready to attack anyone who dared to approach Ava, but he was aware that we could not stay here, that we were alphas, and our duty was to protect our pack, so he put strength on all four legs and began to run full force through the woods, he could hear the cries and growls of wolves in the distance and immediately raised his muzzle upwards, releasing a howl that reverberated throughout the woods, the sky, reaching every part of the territory, calling our men, our soldiers.Immediately to that howl, others responded, hundreds and hundreds, while he ran faster and faster into the woods. The wind whipped between our fur and the tongue was dry but soon we would have wet it with the blood of our enemies. No one could attack us without any consequences. We got to the edges and at that moment I saw them. A well-organized attack, with dozens and dozen
AvaI breathed deeply, enjoying the sweet scent of Rowan surrounding me. We were snuggled up on the bed, both turned to the side, my back glued to his chest, my head on his arm as his free hand drew circles on my bare thigh, sending shivers down my whole body." Is it better?" he said in a hoarse voice."I should ask you," I said with a sigh as I crossed the fingers of the hand belonging to the arm under my head to mine." Why?" he frowned."I feel your heart beating furiously every moment, I feel you hold your breath and grit your teeth," I admitted.In the last hour, Rowan was suffering, I could feel it. I could feel his pain as if they were ripping his heart out of his chest, and I didn't like to hear him, I didn't want to feel his suffering, I didn't want him to suffer.Rowan sighed and kissed me behind the ear as I closed my eyes and enjoyed the sparks reverberating throughout my body from his touch." It's nothing," he whispered in my ear, and I opened my eyes again.I sighed an
Rowan I parked the car outside the building where the pack's elders were. I took a deep breath and got out of the car. I slipped my hands into my pockets and walked to the entrance. I looked at the three-story building with the white façade, on the patio, an old woman was swinging carefully while moving her hands quickly, only when I was closer, I realized that she had two irons in her hand and was knitting. I stopped at the top of the stairs and watched her in silence, her white hair was tied in a bun behind the nuta, and her eyes were on her shirt as she moved her hands quickly. " It's never good when you're so quiet, Alpha," said the woman without looking up, "Even though you've always been the quieter of the two. Your brother instead... He had the spirits of the gods in his body, he ran from side to side like a madman making you chase him everywhere," said the old Clio. The old Clio was an important figure in our community. She had been one of the abused women in an old pack
The woman sighed and looked again at her little girl sleeping blissfully in her crib. The main narrow in the fist, the pink cheeks, a tuft of red hair that descended on her forehead, and those green eyes like two emeralds, hidden under the dark eyelids.She extended her hands and fixed the cover and then went towards the wall lamp and turned it on, immediately drawings of animals and games were reflected on the wall, illuminating the environment.She sighed one last time, then took the baby monitor and walked out of her baby’s room, closing the door behind her.When she turned around, she faced two pairs of identical gray eyes. The two children jumped and looked closely."Can we say good night to Ava?" they asked in chorus."Rowan, Kalen, it’s late," a female voice said from the end of the hall.The woman looked up and bowed her head, "Luna," then said while the other smiled."But Mom!" They both snapped.The twins were four years old, but they seemed much older than their age, they h
17 years laterAvaI closed the cabinet and sighed, trying to calm the knot in my stomach. I put my backpack on and started walking straight to my class when someone shoved me, pushing me hard against the lockers.A groan of pain came from my lips, and I fell to my knees while books were scattered on the floor. I felt a shooting pain in my ribs and clenched my teeth while a longing sound came from my lips."Be careful where he walks," said the voice of Cora.I didn’t answer, but I reached for my books before they were kicked away from me. I looked up, full of anger, towards Cora, who was looking at me with her fake nails tapping on her forearm, long eyelashes, and red lips.A growl-like sound came out of my lips, so loud it made my lockers shake, and she raised an eyebrow."I always said that orphans should not be among us," she said, and then, stepping on my hand with her heel, he turned and left.I cried in pain and grabbed my hand, carrying it to my chest while everyone passed me a
AvaI turned around in the little bed where I slept and sighed as I heard the sound of the springs squeaking at every movement.Around me, my roommates slept happily, but I couldn’t. I put my hands under the pillow and looked at the full moon through the curtain. As I watched her, I felt a shiver all over my body, and my heart pounded violently in my chest.I took off my covers, sat down, took my sneakers, and put them on my feet. I looked around, ensuring nobody woke up, and then I took my jacket.I moved silently through the darkness, reaching the kitchen and the door that gave to the garden in which it went out, going up to the old and badly reduced fence. At one point, a piece of wood was detached and allowed me to get out of the enclosures of the orphanage, where a path led inside the forest.The orphanage was in the lower reaches of the city, right on the border with another small town divided only by a huge forest. I didn’t know why, but the forest had never frightened me, it h
KalenI watched the girl’s face relax as her breathing got heavier, and she fell asleep against Rowan’s back as if it were the most natural thing in the world.Kai, my wolf, had no intention of moving, on the contrary, he snuggled even more against her and continued to purr without giving me any control.I didn’t know exactly what had happened. We were running in the woods, together with our pack, under the full moon when suddenly Kai snorted the air and changed direction.Austin had yelled at me in the head, but I told him to keep running while I tried to take control of my wolf. And I wasn’t the only one with problems. Rowan had problems with Blake, too. He was going my way.In a short time, we found ourselves near the city while I tried to convince Kai to return, but he had completely closed the link with me and limited himself to running until he stopped in the trees, looking at a field of night flowers.I scowled through his eyes when I saw a figure pull up and look around.
