(POV: Nicollas)Now seeing Lina face to face, with her standing at the forefront of Deniel's army, it makes my heart bleed a little more.Damn... I had so many plans... When I found her, I was going to perform the ritual to official make her the Luna of my territory. Because she already is, or was, mine from the day we cohabited, but now I don't know anything anymore.I dreamed of our babies running through the garden, us chasing after them. I planned it every night, or day, it doesn't matter. Claiming her completely as mine after one of our senseless fights, spending all the remaining centuries of our lives together...So many plans, all gone to waste. Why did I deceive myself into thinking she loved me too?Argh! How foolish I was."Supreme?" Lukky's voice snaps me out of my reverie."Speak!""Are we going to fight against our Luna?" he asks, astonished. "I can't! She's not only my Luna, she's my friend and my sister!""Oh, what a lovely thought," I scoff at what I only heard. "Will

(PoV: Sophie)Despair engulfs my entire body as I see my friend lying unconscious on the ground. I try to evade the attacking wolves, but I can't. A gray wolf leaps at me, and I'm weakened and injured. Only a weak and fragile human. Battling these lupine beasts with a strength thousands of times greater than mine. Closing my eyes, with no other choice, I accept that this is the end. I smell blood coming from the wolf's mouth, and my heart beats apace. I didn't want to die like this... I wanted to see my little sister... Despite being skilled with the bow and arrow, being only good wasn't enough. Damn it... Scarllet was right; being good is not being excellent."Please, someone save me," I plead in my thoughts.Tears uncontrollably stream down my eyes, a testament to my weakness and helplessness. In the midst of a bloody battle, I'm begging for help. Suddenly, the weight of the wolf on top of me disappears. I open my eyes in shock and see a black and white wolf facing away from me, gr

(POV: Nicollas) Pain! That's what I sense even before opening my eyes, indicating that I am still alive. I lift my neck and feel my head spinning for a few seconds. My eyes burn as they adjust to staying open after being closed for so long. I move my arms and legs, checking every inch of my body. They ache, not from wounds, but from being immobile for a long period of time. After completing the check, I sit on the ground of dirt and grass and begin to observe the place where I find myself. From the dark and humid environment, I know I am in the dark forest. But how? I have wandered every corner of it and never arrived here before. Another question, how did I end up here? As I continue to observe the forest around me, memories of recent events come to mind. I remember Lina falling to the ground, bleeding and unconscious. Anguish fills my chest. I also remember the baby voice calling me father and asking for help. My heart starts racing... my pups... I know they are not d

(POV: Sophie)The day is about to dawn, and Ana and I walk along the forest trail. The air is damp and filled with an unsettling silence. The wind whispers through the tall trees, creating a mysterious atmosphere. With a huge smile on my lips, I tightly hold my little sister's hand. Slowly, with gratitude, my face receives the warmth of the faint morning sunlight.Suddenly, we hear a low, chilling growl followed by the sound of branches breaking. My legs freeze upon hearing these sounds, and my sister tightens her grip on my hand. Instinctively, I sense the danger behind me. A shiver runs down my spine, and my body tenses. I look at Ana and see the same fear reflected in her eyes. Adrenaline starts coursing through my body as I try to formulate an escape plan.I slowly turn around. Every hair on my body stands on end, and my breathing quickens. Instinctively, I position Ana behind me and slowly reach for the dagger strapped to my pants.The wolves start to spread out, forming a circle

(POV: Lina)Wow! I lost track of time, but how could I not? Just by looking into those green eyes, it feels like everything else fades away. It's only me and the owner of those shining emeralds."Shall we go home?" Nicollas asks, bringing me back to reality."Of course, but first we need to find Sophie, Ana, Sophie's sister, and the modified wolf children.""Who are these modified wolf children?""They are children whose DNA was modified by Deniel. So that when they grow up, they can join his army," I explain, feeling sad. They are so young and innocent."That bastard!" Nicollas curses."Yes, no matter how much he may have suffered in the past, it's not right to hurt innocent beings," I say firm. Forgiveness is always the best way to free oneself from suffering.Nicollas licks my snout."Everything will be fine, we're together now.""Yes," I agree."Alright, the faster we search for them, the sooner we'll find them."I nod in agreement. Still in our wolf forms, we search the castle fr
