* Regina *There were two more days before we reached the summit. That's what Alpha Archer said this morning before we started the journey again. Two days, and hopefully nothing delays us again. But that if carried a weight I could feel pressing against my bones. The rogues are to have scattered into the woods, yet the scent of their presence still clung to the wind, foul and heavy. Everyone could sense it, even I who is an omega. No one spoke about it, but we all felt it.We started to move in silence as Alpha Archer said. The warriors carried their weapons in plain sight now, even while crossing shallow streams or climbing the rocky paths. Beta Kael stayed near the front, his sharp eyes scanning every treeline making sure it was safe. Alpha Archer led us, always ahead, and always watching. I followed behind with the supply mule, the cold mountain air biting my skin through the thin fabric of my cloak.The higher we moved and climbed, the thinner the air became, and the more my chest

* Alpha Archer *The night was merciless when you are weak. The cold cut through even my coat, but what chilled me most wasn't the air, it was her. The omega, Regina. I can feel her enduring the shifting inside of her body.Her scent, faint yet distinct, had changed into something. The sharp tang of fear and the wild undertone of a wolf fighting to emerge blended into something that pulled at every instinct in me. I had seen countless warriors struggle with their first shift, but none like this. None that made me feel, drawn. Not only because she is an omega or that she is a female wolf.From where I sat, the rhythmic scrape of blade to stone had always been enough to steady my thoughts as I focus on it. But not tonight, I am feeling distracted. Each time I heard her stifled breath, each tremor of pain she tried to hide, my wolf stirred with agitation, pacing beneath my skin."Still fighting your wolf, Regina?" I had asked, my voice low, the question that I already know the answer.A

* Alpha Archer *I noticed the forest was too still for comfort. Even the wind that usually hummed through the trees held its breath when I looked at them. My boots sank into the damp soil as I pushed deeper into the shadows, my senses wide open, ears attuned to the faintest crunch, nose filtering through layers of scent, pine, ash, and the lingering metallic tang of blood.The number of rogues had scattered hours ago, or at least that's what Beta Kael reported before I left camp. But rogues had a way of crawling back, like rot hiding beneath bark. I needed to be sure that we are safe. Especially now that I asked Kael to help her.Especially because I am the Alpha and in charge. A sound came from behind me, a branch snapping, and my claws itched to extend, but it was only the wind twisting through the roots on the ground. Still, my wolf growled low, warning me not to let my guard drop. To always watch out.The moment I left the camp, I could still smell her scent faintly, Regina. That

* Alpha Archer *From where I stood at the summit ridge, I could see the banners of the other regions already standing tall.The East, North, and South. And soon ours, the West would join them.My pack had finished setting up our camp by the border. My warriors stood at attention, the metallic gleam of their armor flashing beneath the muted sun. Behind me, Regina moved quietly, blending among them yet apart, still unsure of her place, still too new to understand the politics that could crush even an Alpha if he stepped out of line.A low rumble echoed across the mountains, faint at first, then growing until the ground beneath my boots trembled. Every wolf in the vicinity stilled. Heads bowed instinctively. The air thickened with dominance so potent it nearly made the weaker ones tremble.Alpha King Zed arrives. His presence came before his face, power rolling from him in invisible waves that stirred my wolf to attention. I gritted my teeth and held my ground. I was the youngest Alpha,

* Alpha Archer *The moment when Regina's voice broke through the crackle of the fire inside the tent, I knew what she would say even before she did. I had seen the look on her face.That determination in her scent which the wind carried to my nose, is sharp, persistent, unyielding, and was impossible to ignore. She stood there, with her shoulders squared, and her eyes burning with the same kind of fire I'd seen in warriors who'd bled for their pack in strong determination.But I couldn't give in to that as an Alpha who carried the most weight in the pack. And not now when the summit has began.Not when the Alpha King had just issued his complicated challenge to all Alphas, one that would decide the standing of every wolf leader in the regions. Strength was the law of the summit, and I needed the best wolf, not just the willingness to act.She didn't understand that yet because she is new. And she just shifted recently.When I told her she wasn't ready to do something like this, her h
