Analyn POV "From here on out, Ambrose is our new Alpha," the man named Apollo announced. We were outside after they were done burying Alpha Marquise. Ambrose hadn't spoken a word to me since. I wanted to comfort him, but something in his facial expression stopped me. I knew he didn't want to be bothered. At least, not yet. "We will hold a special event during the full moon, so Ambrose can be officially initiated as the Alpha of the Lightbridge Shadows Pack. Does anyone have any objection to this?" Apollo asked. The other werewolves murmured no. I touched Ambrose's arm. I half-expected him to brush me off, but he didn't move, so I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. I wanted to hug him instead, but this didn't feel like the right place or time. "I need to be alone," he said gruffly and ran off somewhere before I could stop him. I felt slightly hurt as he didn't trust me to be with him and console him, but I didn't want to make this all about me.

Analyn POVI ran from that cave with a heavy heart because Ambrose went too far this time. Even though he was grieving and in a bad mood, he had no right to treat me the way he did. He really hurt me this time.I ran into Theodore on the way. He grabbed my shoulder and stopped me from running away. His eyes were full of concern."What's the matter? Did you find Ambrose?" he asked me.I couldn't answer him. Instead, I burst into tears."Whoa, hey. Don't cry. Tell me what's wrong," he asked. "You can trust me, Ana."I sniffled and told him everything that happened back in the cave. I skipped the part where Ambrose pushed me against the wall and fucked me because, my god...that's too embarrassing!Theodore listened to everything and nodded. "You can't take what Ambrose says to heart." That was his advice."How can I not?" I snapped. "He treated me like shit back there. He is acting like I'm a parasite and he can't

Analyn POVI stretched my arms when I woke up the next day. I looked to my side. Ambrose was gone just as I expected."Analyn, are you awake?" I heard Sylvia say."Yes, please come in," I said.Sylvia came inside holding a hairbrush and some towels. "I'm here to wash your hair."I looked at her with confusion. "Huh? But why? I have hands of my own," I said.Sylvia threw her hair back and laughed. "Oh, honey. I know you are more than capable of taking care of yourself. Ambrose will be initiated into the new Alpha tonight. And as his Luna, I am to take extra special care of you." She winked."That's dumb. I don't need anyone to baby me. I can do all of these things on my own. If anything, I should be the one taking care of everyone!" I exclaimed."That's sweet of you but just enjoy the perks for being his Luna, would you," she said and laughed again.His Luna...just yesterday, he was talking about getting rid of me, so I g

Analyn POVYup, I heard it all.I heard him talk about how he would make all the decisions and how he was contemplating getting rid of me.Oh, hell no. That's not going to happen.Then I heard the best news of all. He couldn't get rid of me even if he wanted to because he would become penniless.Hah! Ambrose, you are stuck with me. Sucker!I purposely went inside the room and made my presence known. I wanted to make them uncomfortable, and judging from the looks on their faces, I succeeded."What are you guys talking about?" I asked innocently."What are you doing here?" Ambrose barked."Jeez, Ambrose. You don't need to be so rude," Theo said."Yeah, Rosy, don't be rude," I said and smirked."I TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCKING CALL ME THAT!" Ambrose let out a thunderous roar. It almost made the ground vibrate and knocked the table over. Jeez, do I annoy him that much?Theodore looked like he was about to pee

Analyn POV"What do we do?" I whispered.Ambrose put his hand around my waist and pulled me closer. "Don't make any sudden movements," he said quietly while keeping eye contact with the bear. I heard the other creature hiss nearby. It was getting closer and closer. There was no way Ambrose could kill both of them.The bear growled at us again, louder this time.Then it finally happened. The creature showed himself, and I almost shit myself.It was massive, at least twelve feet tall. All eight of his spider legs were thick and muscular. A pointy, sharp, and shiny claw were at the end of each leg.His body was covered in some kind of hard shell. It was almost like shiny, black armor.And his head...it was the most terrifying thing of all.It had humanlike features, a pointed nose, full lips, and sharp red eyes. My heart clenched as I saw it opening its mouth. It has sharp pointy teeth. I have never seen something
