Naya stared at the mirror, seeing her face with the aftermath of what transpired last night evident all over her body. Edith might have been too innocent to notice but if others saw it, they would easily know what happened.She let out a long sigh.It wasn’t supposed to happen. A full-blooded beta like her wasn’t supposed to go into heat, yet, she did.Was it because of that prince – Kael? Because he was a full-blooded alpha?Naya’s sight landed on the marking on her neck. Kael had bitten her too hard that the markings looked like they were done by animals in the forest.Naya’s eyes narrowed. Prince Kael. Like Alpha Prince Lorenzo, he was also a son of the alpha in this pack. They both had extraordinary powers considering they were full-blooded alphas. This world only had a few of them, mostly being descendants of the Alpha himself. They excelled in many things including physical combats, battle strategies, and more. Even towards their mates, they could also be aggressive.Fated mates
Naya looked up at her father. What he was saying sounded reasonable and she could see the confidence in his eyes. He was confident Naya could do it. However, staying in a tunnel and climbing a tree were far too different tasks.Naya stood and stared at the dark tunnel ahead. Fear crept into her young heart.She lowered her head and admitted, “I-I’m sorry, father, but I think I need to train myself more in the cave.”They had done training in a mountain cave before. It was smaller than this tunnel but at least there were huge cracks that permitted lights to enter. In addition, it was done only for a few hours and during the day.Naya wasn’t sure if she could survive through this strange tunnel underground, with no light other than a flame torch.Beta Alfredo sighed. He looked into Naya’s eyes and grabbed both of her shoulders. “You are my daughter, Naya. In our blood course greater power than other pack fighters. This blood is what supports the royal family, our pack’s greatest leaders
The number of tree nuts in each pack varied according to their location. Some packs had only a few that could only be counted by hand, while there were some that surpassed that number, with one pack never being short of it in terms of supply.Grizel walked to the other servants carrying two baskets filled with their packs’ special treats, mostly made out of nuts from different trees.Leah, her companion, immediately noticed her. “Grizel! Are you here to help us deliver these food supplies to Alpha’s pack house?”Grizel smiled, “Oh, no. I just came to drop by these baskets. I’m going to see Sir Jed.”“Eh, again? I thought he said Alpha Prince Kael can’t accept visitors yet. Wait, don’t tell me, the food you were preparing earlier was for him?” Leah uttered with a gasp.Grizel didn’t hide the fact at all. She cleared her throat and proudly said, “What’s wrong with sending good food to him? Sir Jed said it’s fine.”Leah shook her head, “You’re truly mad.”“Whatever. Just take these baske
The howling wind blew past Naya, sending shivers down her spine as a sudden image flashed in her head. Turning to the side, she dodged the assassin’s attack and took whatever her hand found on the ground. Grabbing a rock, she spun and threw the rock over, making the assassin lose her footing.For a split second, the assassin looked at Naya with wide eyes, as though she didn’t expect Naya’s sudden movement.On the other hand, Naya’s blood turned colder and colder. Who was this person and why was she attacking her? Did she come from the West Wood Pack? Did someone send her to finish Naya?No matter what, Naya could tell she wasn’t about to give up. Unfortunately for this person, Naya wasn’t either.No words were exchanged as the two fought physically, with each being experts on their combat abilities.“Kevin!” a familiar voice suddenly entered Naya’s ears. She was stunned. Why did it sound like her teammate Billy’s voice? At the same time, the assassin looked alerted.The sound of foot
Kael was sitting on his bed with his eyes shut when he suddenly felt something was amiss. He opened his eyes, tilted his head, and his eyes narrowed. Almost at the same time, the door he was staring at opened.“Alpha Prince! There’s something you need to know,” Jed hurriedly said while closing the door.A sigh escaped Kael’s mouth. He playfully leaned his head back and closed his eyes as though he was meditating.“Hm, what is it?” he asked his assistant.Jed approached him closer, making sure nobody else would hear what he had to say.“A report came from the East. They found more rogues,” Jed exclaimed.Kael’s eyes remained closed and his arms crossed in a relaxed manner.“Oh, rogues,” Kael uttered. Then he smirked, “They keep coming when there’s an event, don’t they? I wonder what the elders feel right now. Should we head out and check?”Jed shook his head, his face twisting in frustration and urgency, “No, Alpha Prince! This isn’t the time for that. General Argus has made his claim
"Alpha Prince has arrived!" Everyone bowed as a man with a mischievous smile walked forward. The guard by the pack house saluted and said, "Alpha Prince, the slave has been captured as you ordered. She's inside and waiting—" Kael didn't even let him finish before striding inside. The room filled immediately with his alpha presence. Kael's eyes locked onto a specific spot in the room – the bed, where a woman was seated. She was chained to the bedframe, limiting her movement to just a few steps. She heard the door and looked up, her eyes filling with coldness as they met Kael's gaze. "Do you have any new greetings for your master?" Kael asked playfully. Naya glared at him, her eyes seething with anger, but she remained silent. The way she stared at Kael made it seem like no words could ever shake her, whether in fear, surprise, or pain. Kael grinned, excitement coursing through him. Unable to restrain himself, he walked closer and grabbed her chin firmly. Naya kept her gaze icy a
"Run!" Naya's heart sank as her companions shouted, scattering in accordance with their training. A chill ran down Naya's spine as she glimpsed the source of the attack. It emanated from the Southern border's tower, confirming her suspicions. Their map had proven outdated, and the landscape had undergone significant changes. According to the map, they should have encountered only one tower, but in reality, another had been erected. Each tower boasted around fifteen guards or so. Now, they had spotted Naya and her group trespassing on their turf. Swearing under her breath, Naya sprinted and rolled, seeking refuge behind a towering, thick tree. "Hurry! Locate those intruders! Chief Martin's arrival is imminent! Don't let the rogues slip away!!" Naya's blood ran cold, remembering her father's warnings. "The Main Land is vastly different from our home. It's twenty times larger in size. While the warriors guarding these borders may hold lower ranks, considering their distance from maj
Naya’s blurred vision cleared up. Under the radiant, full moon, she saw a man. He stood tall wearing clothes slightly different than the rest, his build rougher but more refined than the men Naya fought. Thick, dominant pheromones spread around his stature as he walked forward. Naya couldn’t help but freeze as she looked at the man, seeing his eyes – green, dark, cold, and carrying a peculiar depth that made anyone feel powerless at one glance. Time seemed to stop as those green eyes glinted and landed on Naya. Naya’s heartbeat turned faster and faster. Deep inside her soul, she heard her wolf making a sound. It wanted out. For some mysterious reason, it wanted to meet this person… The tall, handsome man crouched down. Slowly, his lips that had been shut tugged up into a wicked smile. Naya froze. “Well, well, what do we have here?” he asked mischievously while staring at Naya. “I heard rumors of a rogue causing a ruckus at this border. They described a formidable fighter,
