I was told by Lucian to stay in the car. He went to the building alone and his men also stayed in the car. I had never been in the council before, so I just stared out of the car’s window and saw the building was tall. The council is the law enforcer of the city. They hold the districts together and make sure that the people follow the law. However, when it came to changing alphas, they don’t concern themselves with it. And now that I see Lucian can easily enter the council after seizing a pack like a savage, he must have a connection with them. I don’t feel bad though. The Alpha’s position is his rightful place and it was only right for him to claim it. Peering through the window, I noticed the sky was gloomy. It seemed like it was going to rain soon. I just stayed silent while looking outside and watching people pass by. I don’t know how long it had been, but when I saw Lucian going out of the building, the rain suddenly poured. “Damn,” he muttered when he got inside the car. He

LUCIAN My eyes flicked to Igor, one of the men I brought as guards, when he pushed Elisa forward which caused her to fall to her knees. The dirt from the ground went to the gray skirt of her dress. My jaw clenched. For some reason, I was suddenly enraged. “Did I tell you to push her?” I couldn’t hide the annoyance in my tone as I asked Igor. She is my slave, therefore I only have the right to do whatever I want with her. Nobody else holds that power. I can’t tolerate it, not even my people. “But she wasn’t listening, Alpha. I was trying to help—” “Well, your help wasn’t necessary,” I cut him off. “She goes with me in my car. How am I supposed to share the same seat with her when she’s covered with dirt?” I can feel the veins in my temples pulsating because I was very pissed. “She’s my slave, not yours so you can’t just hit her when you like. That is my job. Do you get me, Igor?” I don’t know why I’m so angry about it since it’s just something trivial. But the ferocious beast in me

"What is it, Alpha?" I stammered, my voice trembling with a mix of fear and uncertainty. Lucian and I found ourselves confined within the walls of his room; the space that had once felt familiar now transformed into an unsettling prison. The lingering echoes of our heated exchange earlier had dissipated, leaving behind a suffocating silence. Gone was the fleeting surge of courage that had emboldened me to challenge him, for now I stood before him, vulnerable and defenseless. The memories of his violent display, the merciless whipping of those helpless men, were seared into my mind, replaying over and over again like a haunting nightmare. It was a chilling reminder of the depths of darkness that resided within him. The power dynamic between us had shifted dramatically. I, who had once dared to defy him, now found myself teetering on the edge of tears, my spirit crushed under the weight of his dominance. Every fiber of my being trembled with the anticipation of one wrong move, one gest

As I gingerly lifted the emerald dress from the box, a surge of emotions welled up within me. The exquisite fabric shimmered under the soft glow of the room, reflecting the anticipation that danced in my eyes. It was a garment of transformation, symbolizing not only the grandeur of the lunar festival but also a personal milestone in my journey. The lunar festival had always held a mystique that eluded me, even in my earlier years when my father still reigned as the alpha of the pack. I had been confined to the confines of my room, locked away from the festivities and celebrations. My weakness, a trait my father despised, had deemed me unworthy of participating in the pack's sacred traditions. It was my strong brothers who had basked in his love and admiration, while I remained hidden, a forgotten entity in the shadows. But tonight, everything had changed. Against all odds, I found myself on the cusp of joining the pack's most significant celebration—the lunar festival, a moment when

Amidst the symphony of howls that resonated through the night, my gaze was drawn to a pair of eyes that seemed to mirror the depths of my own soul. Those familiar black orbs held a mixture of recognition, longing, and an intensity that sent my heart racing within my chest. It was as if time stood still, encapsulated in the electric connection that surged between us. As the cacophony of the lunar festival faded into the background, the emotions surged within me like a tempest, threatening to consume every fiber of my being. A profound sense of familiarity washed over me, intertwining with desire and an inexplicable bond that transcended words. In that moment, I knew—without a doubt—that I had found my mate, the one destined to be by my side in this wild, mystical existence. The world around us seemed to blur, the sounds muffled by the overwhelming rush of emotions coursing through my veins. Instinctively, my paws carried me closer, drawing me toward the source of this profound connect
