Alexei's POV I jolted awake. A heavy, dark presence pressed against the thin fabric of the tent. My wolf stirred, baring his teeth in my mind. I threw on a shirt and hurried outside to investigate, my eyes scanning the treeline. At first, the camp seemed peaceful; the morning light was just beginning to break, and a few of my men were already awake, stoking the embers of the fire.I turned to head back to the tent, but the air suddenly shifted.A massive rogue lunged from the shadows, his weight slamming into my chest. He pinned me to the dirt, his hot, rancid breath hitting my face as he snapped his fangs inches from my throat. I fought him off with my bare hands, our bodies tangling as we rolled across the rough ground. In the heat of the struggle, I couldn't even find the breath to shift.He lunged again. This time, I caught his head, driving a heavy punch into his jaw that sent him tumbling back. Before he could recover, I let the shift take me. Bones cracked and fur sprouted

Alexei’s POVI woke up feeling a headache like I was waking up with a hangover, but I hadn't drunk any alcohol.“Novel?” I called out to check on her, but there was no reply. I forced my eyes open to see she wasn’t in bed. I thought maybe she had gone to the bathroom or something, so I went down to the receptionist's office to ask for medicine for the hangover. I wasn't the only one suffering. Viktor, Emilia, and the rest of my men were huddled in the common area, clutching their heads and growling in discomfort.I slammed my hand on the desk to get the receptionist's attention. She looked up, narrowing her eyes in a way she clearly thought was seductive. To me, she looked like a vulture."Medicine. Make it two doses," I snapped, rubbing my temples."Two?" she purred, leaning over the counter.I gave her a look that could have curdled milk. "Yes. One for my wife.""Oh... that human girl?" She let out a sharp, mocking laugh. "She left this morning. She told me to give you this." Sh

Alexei's POV My bones began to crack and reshape, snapping with the rhythmic pop of dry wood. The familiar, agonizing heat of the shift surged through my veins, a fire that promised destruction. They wanted to see me burn their pack down? I was more than happy to oblige.I moved with a lethal, heavenly grace, a blur of fur and teeth. I didn't just fight; I tore. Heads were ripped from shoulders in a spray of crimson, but I didn't care. I couldn't stop. I was drowning in a toxic cocktail of anger and cold, paralyzing fear, the fear that I might not reach her in time.I spotted the resptionst cowering behind a massive oak. She tried to hide, but my senses were dialed to a razor's edge. I took slow, stalking steps toward her. She broke into a run, her face pale and frozen with terror, but she didn't get far. Her foot caught a root, and she went down hard. I lunged, pinning her to the damp earth with the weight of a predator.“I told you,” I growled into her mind, my voice a jagged edge

Alexei’s POVThe moment the sun rose, we began packing. A heavy silence hung over the camp, broken only by the rustle of canvas and the clinking of armor. We had to continue this journey….I knew that…but a cold knot of dread tightened in my chest. Two deadly stretches still lay ahead: The Fire Crossroad, the scorched land of lone wolves, and the Land of Illusion, a place where you either conquered your nightmares or became a permanent resident of them.A sickening sensation churned in my gut. What if… I cut the thought short. Novel had warned me not to dwell on the shadows ahead, but to focus on the mission.“Alpha, the ride is ready. We can take off now,” one of my guards said, snapping me back to reality. I gave a sharp, curt nod.I reached out, my hand steadying her as she climbed into the carriage. I waited until she was safely seated before clicking the door shut. She had recovered quickly, a testament to the strange, flickering power she wielded. We still didn't understand the n

Alexei's POV The world turned into a blur of fur and teeth. We came to a bone-jarring halt as the Lone Wolves swarmed us, we were hopelessly outnumbered. My first instinct was to reach Novel, but the wolves didn't give us the luxury of time. They charged from the shadows, a wave of grey and black.I leaped from my horse, shifting before my feet even hit the dirt. The change was a familiar agony, muscles snapping and bones elongating until I stood on four paws. I tore through the first wolf, the metallic taste of blood filling my mouth, but for every one I downed, two more appeared. One clamped its jaws onto my hind leg. I snarled, kicking out with enough force to shatter its ribs, but the wound left my leg dragging and hot with pain.I was surrounded. Five wolves circled me, eyes glowing with hunger. They lunged all at once. I fought with everything I had left, biting and tearing until they lay still, but the cost was high. I was shredded, my breath coming in ragged gasps. Before I c
