For the first time, the witch showed fear. "Soon, the shadow demon succeeded. Erin believed the hurt that the shadow Doyen inflicted on her and started to hate her mate. The real Doyen could not understand his mate's hatred for himself and slowly started to go crazy, until the two almost ended up destroying the world and each other. To protect her beloved creatures and save the world, the Moon Goddess summoned them back to her side but only Erin was able to return for the shadow demon had tied Doyen's soul to the land and until the shadow could be freed, Doyen was destined to be a normal wolf. " Once Erin had returned to the Moon goddess, she slowly recovered and when she discovered the truth, she was devastated. She begged the Goddess to let her return and bring back her mate. But this time the demon was prepared because he had tasted Doyen's power. He knew that if he combined Doyen and Erin's power, he would be able to rule the world and become undefeatable. So, before Erin could m

Crystal felt her stomach drop as the black wolf prowled toward her. Or perhaps prowl was not the word for it. But who cared? She knew this wolf was not Ace's Doyen. But she could not find a difference. Since discovering all this, she had been wondering how her past birth selves could have been fooled. But now she knew. It walked like a wolf and growled like a wolf. The hair on its neck raised, and the wolf growled possessively at Nate who was standing next to her, holding her elbow. And that single instance was enough to remind her that this could not be Ace. While Ace was as possessive as an Alpha could be, he had never felt any jealousy or insecurity towards his own brother. Even Doyen had been tolerant of Erin's flirtatious ways with other wolves, be it Kai, Mateo or the other warriors. She knew this because she had heard it from Ace himself. She extended her hand even as every fibre of her being was loathed to touch this imposter. She wanted to challenge this wolf and tear out i

It isn't easy to fool a wolf. But it is easy to fool a wolf who is desperate. And this shadow wolf was desperate, Crystal guessed. After all, it would not be easy to keep Ace imprisoned much longer on one hand and fool her on the other. She watched from the window as Doyen's imposter prowled outside the packhouse. She knew that whoever the man was, he was actually wondering if it was worth it to not listen to her orders and invade immediately and take her by force. She was not foolish enough to think that if this wolf attacked her it would try to take her in the wolf form regardless of her own animal or human state. A mark in the wolf form was the most permanent and strongest form of controlling their mate. Over the last many years, even fated mates had never done that for it would take away the power balance and in turn create more troubles for mates. Suddenly, she saw the wolf stiffen and glance in the opposite direction. As expected, he immediately raced towards the forest. Using

"You lie." The tension in his body seemed to peak as Juan continued to kneel. Doyen seemed to whisper in his ear that all this was a way to catch him off guard. He had just spotted his most trusted man with his enemy. An enemy whose identity he had been searching for, for quite a while. If Juan really was loyal, he would have come to him the moment he knew something. "Get out of my way." Ace growled at the man, wanting nothing to do but reach his mate at the soonest. But Juan shook his head and reported," No. Not without you have heard my explanation." "I have seen what I needed to see and do. Be grateful that I am not changing already and tearing your throat out." "You are not changing because you can't change yet!" The next minute, Ace wrapped his hand around Juan's throat, squeezing his neck. The man turned his head away and did not put up a fight, indicating that he was still submissive to his Alpha. "Alpha Ace, I know you do not believe in second chances and once I have ex

Seeing his own wolf attack him, had momentarily stunned Ace. Even though he understood the situation, the reality had yet to hit him. He thought back to the words that Juan had shouted after him. "The only way to destroy the remaining soul is to let go of your own will to live. Only if you die willingly and acceptingly, the shadow Doyen will be annihilated with you. Without your soul to support him, Leo Storkis will not have anything that would make him survive." There had to be another way. He had not even thought of a way to save the other wolf when he noticed him fighting Erin. THe relief that had hit him to see Erin standing there had been instant. However, the next moment, he was on the ground, with a wolf under him. Looking into the dark eyes of the feral animal, Ace curved his lips. So this wolf wanted to challenge him. The sentence brought back a childhood vision. It had been of two wolves fighting to the death for domination over the other. One had been desperate and made
