We were all prepared for an intense battle with the vampires. In fact, my warriors—who had trained for years without being able to use their abilities—seemed excited for a fight. But we had none. The vampires allowed themselves to be expelled from the territory without any resistance. Surprisingly, they treated the event like a game. We would chase them for a while, and then they would slow down, letting us get really close before speeding up again. Zigzagging and changing direction, they ran us in circles as if we were playing catch. We continued like this for longer than I would like to admit, with the vampires naturally being faster than werewolves. We could keep up with them, but we would need the fastest of the pack to be able to capture one. Usually, that wasn't necessary since vampires liked to get right to the juicy stuff and attack—battle until there was only one winner. What was happening now was strange. Vampires weren't known for being cowards. They didn't run away fr

Vidar "You are Death," I said. Adalee smiled openly and took a step back. "Congratulations, Alpha," she said. Then her smile suddenly disappeared. "You are not as dumb as you look." That was the last straw. No member of my pack would talk to me like this—vampire or not. I was the Alpha! I leaned the upper half of my body forward, planning to clamp my jaw around her neck and not let go until she begged for mercy. But before I could reach her—before I could even touch her—she interrupted me with a single word: "Pain." My body immediately fell to the forest floor, seized by an agonizing pain. I screamed, holding my chest and head, trying to find some relief. It seemed like every bone in my body was breaking, while thousands of knives pierced me. I was certain that I would die. It had to be that sensation. "Okay," Adalee said calmly. The pain suddenly stopped. I gasped and groaned as air finally entered my lungs. Adalee crouched down beside me and brushed my hair out of my f

Territorial and stupid wolves. — he sighed. — You don't need to take it personally, Luna. Werewolves are territorial over food. It is not like they are accustomed to sharing. And they are hunters. I nodded my head in understanding. That makes sense. And the Alpha didn't feed you? Didn't he know you were starving? Elijah asked. I shook my head frantically. No, he has been very busy. It's not his fault. I don't want to bother you,” I said. What the hell do you mean? — Kyle countered. — That doesn't make any sense. An Alpha takes pride in providing for his mate. In no way would he want you to starve, no matter how busy he is. You will always be his number one priority. Panic rose in my chest. I was really messing things up. Vidar would be so angry if he knew about all of this. I told him I'm looking for my own food,” I lied. I felt like I was too clingy. I need to be less dependent on him while I am here. I can't distract him the entire day with my problems. Many people are count
