SELENEAs I approached the old hag, my heart raced with anticipation and fear. I had to know who she was and why she seemed to know so much about me. "Who are you?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady despite the unease fluttering in my stomach.The old hag cackled, her eyes glinting in the dim moonlight. "Oh, little one, you don't recognize me?."I furrowed my brow in confusion. "Lycans? But I am not a lycan. I don't have the mark, and I've never transformed. I am wolfless."The old hag's laughter echoed around us. "Oh, child, you may be wolfless now, but that does not erase your bloodline. You are one of us, whether you like it or not."I shook my head, feeling a surge of defiance rise within me. "You're mistaken. I am not a lycan. I don't belong to their kind."The old hag's gaze turned sinister, and she leaned in close to whisper, "Oh, but you are the last of our kind. The others have faded into obscurity, but you...you are the last lycan, the last direct descendant of the moo

LUCAI watched as the moon rose high in the night sky, its silver light casting a soft glow over the pack territory. I sighed as I leaned against a tree, feeling the weight of my responsibilities as the beta of the pack. The warmth of the bond between mates eluded me, leaving me feeling an emptiness in my heart. It seemed like everyone had found their other half, except for me.I was happy for Orion and Selene but I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy mixed with happiness for them. The love and joy that radiated from them warmed my soul, but it also made me acutely aware of the fact that I was still alone. It was a bittersweet feeling — I was happy for my friends, but I couldn't help but long for the same kind of connection with someone.As I contemplated my own loneliness, my thoughts drifted to the recent revelation about Selene. After our visit to Dominic's pack and coming back, Selene had confided in us about her true heritage. According to the old woman She was the last li

SELENEI woke up to the warm rays of the sun streaming through the window, and as I blinked my eyes open, I was greeted by the sight of Orion's handsome face. He was already awake, and a smile played at the corners of his lips as he looked at me."Good morning, sleepyhead," he murmured, his voice rough with sleep.I felt my cheeks flush as the memories of last night came rushing back. We had been intimate, and he had made me feel loved again, after so long of feeling lost and alone. I smiled back at him, feeling a shy but contented warmth spread through me."You okay?" Orion asked, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear.I nodded, feeling a sudden surge of affection for him. "Yeah, I'm good. How about you?""I'm great," he replied, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to my forehead. "Last night was amazing, and waking up to you is even better."I giggled, feeling a flicker of happiness in my chest. "You're such a charmer, Orion."He grinned, and before I knew it, we were ca

VIKTORIt was late at night when I finally managed to put Maya to sleep. She had fallen for my sweet words and gentle touch, completely unaware of the betrayal that awaited her. As she lay there, peacefully dreaming, I took a deep breath and dialed my sister Adrina's number."Viktor, what is it?" Adrina's voice crackled through the phone. "It's nearly midnight.""I need you, Adrina," I murmured, careful not to wake Maya. "I need your powers."There was a pause on the other end of the line, then Adrina's voice came through, low and dangerous."Why?" "I need her memories twisted, her thoughts clouded. I need you to turn her into a puppet, Adrina, someone who only cares about me."There was a long silence before Adrina finally spoke again. "Meet me at the edge of the forest. I'll come to you."I hung up the phone and made my way to the edge of the forest, a place of ancient power where portals could be opened. As I waited, the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, and I could feel

SELENEI could hear the scream echoing through the dark alleys as I ran alongside my pack. We were all on high alert as the sound pierced the night, our instincts telling us that something was very wrong. As we turned the corner, we skidded to a halt, our eyes locking onto the scene before us. A woman was standing over a small child, her hands clenched around the child's neck. It was Adrina, the same woman who had attacked me weeks before, My vision blurred with fury as I remembered her twisted grin as she wanted to hurt me, and I felt the rage start to boil in my veins.Without thinking, I felt my bones start to crack and my body shifting into my true form - a massive white wolf, my fur bristling with anger. The woman let go of the child and turned towards us, her eyes widening in surprise as she saw me lunging towards her. I collided with her, sending us both crashing to the ground in a tangle of fur and claws."Selene, be careful!" one of my packmates called out, but my vision wa
