Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Dark Desirable Wolf: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

The guardian advances, each step reverberating through the ground like a war drum. Its form, towering and cloaked in darkness, seems larger than before—as if the hatred it exudes is feeding it. The dagger in my hand burns, as though it knows it’s our only hope, though its weight feels almost unbearable.Shadow throws me a quick glance, his eyes pleading for something I cannot name. But I cannot step back now—not even if he asks me to. I plant my feet firmly, my body trembling, but my mind sharp. I will not let this end in silence.“Eve, listen…” Shadow begins, his voice low and frayed with exhaustion.“There’s nothing left to hear, Shadow. I’m not leaving you.”He clenches his jaw, a growl of frustration and helplessness slipping from between his teeth. Yet beneath it all, I see something else in his eyes—pride. He knows I’m stubborn. But my presence is a risk he can’t afford.The guardian lets out a thunderous laugh, a sound that makes me feel small, as though my courage were a child

The light of dawn filters through the foliage, draping the forest in shades of gold and green. Shadow sits beside me, still recovering from his transformation. His arms rest on his knees, head bowed as though carrying the weight of the world. He doesn’t speak, but I know he’s trying to process what just happened.I don’t speak either. My thoughts whirl like a storm—his beastly form, his words, the danger closing in around us. And yet, beneath the chaos, something unexpected stirs: a strange, quiet calm. As if we’ve finally reached an understanding, though we have no idea what to do with it.“Do you see now?” Shadow’s voice breaks the silence at last, low and heavy with resignation.“This is what I am, Eve. This is what I’ve always been.”“I don’t care.” The answer leaves me before I can think. I kneel before him, cradling his face in my hands. His eyes, burdened with guilt, still burn with the same intensity that’s always drawn me to him.“I told you I wouldn’t leave—and I meant it.”

The roar that rips from Shadow’s throat fills the clearing, shaking the trees and making the very air grow heavier, denser. His eyes blaze with a wild, feral intensity—but there's something else within them. Something human. Something that screams of battle, survival... and love.The leader strikes with ruthless precision—each movement sharp, calculated, nearly too perfect to be real. But Shadow, wounded though he is, refuses to yield. His claws clash against his father's in a brutal, deadly dance. Strength and skill intertwine with a force that crackles through the air and pierces me to my core.I can’t take my eyes off him. Despite the violence, there’s something hypnotic in the way he moves, the way he fights. He’s a warrior—something not quite of this world—and yet, he’s still my Shadow. Every growl, every surge of his body forward, brimming with near-supernatural power, sends a spark over my skin. I shouldn't be thinking about this now, but I can’t help it.His torso, barely cove

The clan leader, his posture rigid and his face carved by the scars of time, raises a hand to silence the murmurs. Every motion he makes radiates authority, and his presence fills the clearing as though the moon itself had crowned him.“Very well, human,” he says, his voice tinged with mockery—but there’s something darker in his eyes, as if he’s savoring the chance to break me. “The trial is simple: if you wish to stay, you’ll prove your worth to the clan by facing one of our challenges. Survive, and you’ll be accepted. Fail, and Shadow will understand why you don’t belong here.”Shadow releases my hand and steps forward, his body trembling with restrained fury. “This is insane! She doesn’t need to prove anything. She doesn’t need your approval to be with me.”“You know the rules, son.” The leader’s tone is sharp, his gaze cold, as if speaking to a disobedient pup rather than the warrior who fought to earn his place among them. “This isn’t just about you. This is about the balance of

Shadow and I walk in silence, leaving behind the clearing and the accusing eyes that followed us until the darkness of the forest swallowed them whole. Despite the calm around us, my mind is at war. He has sacrificed everything—his pack, his home, his world. And he did it for me.I don’t know if I’m strong enough to carry the weight of that choice.“What are you thinking about?”His voice breaks the silence. It’s soft, but there’s a hint of concern he doesn’t try to hide.“About what you just did.”I stop, forcing him to turn and face me. “You gave up everything, Shadow. Your family, your pack… all for someone like me. How can you be so sure I’m worth it?”His eyes gleam under the pale moonlight, fierce and unyielding. He takes a step closer, closing the space between us until his presence is all I can feel.“How could I not be sure?”His voice is a whisper filled with fire. “Eve, you are my anchor. My salvation. Without you… there’s only darkness.”My lips tremble. I want to believe
