The dining hall was filled with the clinking of silver against porcelain, no one spoke as they were all lost in thoughts of everything that has happened recently.Naelis sat at the long table, her food untouched, her hand stroking the silver necklace around her neck, while the monk’s words played repeatedly in her head.Across from her, Alpha Rowan sat with a grim expression, his eyes weary from a day of intense chaos. He set his fork down and looked directly at Naelis, his voice firm and carrying the weight of command. "Naelis, I know what you’re thinking. I saw the look in your eyes when the monk spoke of your mother. But I am telling you now, as the person your father entrusted to take care of you during your stay in Frostpine, do not go into the woods in search of Marek. The rogues are unpredictable, and with these abominations crawling in the shadows, it is a death sentence."Naelis looked up, her expression a mask of dutiful obedience. She inclined her head slowly, a gesture of

The abominations moved like a single, monstrous wave, lunging at them with their bladed claws whistling through the air. They attacked without warning and Zoran immediately threw some back."Jamie, get back! Stay behind me!" Naelis screamed, her voice was filled with raw panic.Zoran and Silas wasted no time as they quickly moved back to shift into their wolves. Zoran’s shift was swift and only took a few seconds while Sila's own was slower. Silas massive grey wolf, positioned himself like a living wall in front of Naelis and Jamie. Zoran's huge obsidian black wolf stood majestically in front of them, and Sila's wolf looked so small close to him. His eyes were completely red and they seemed to be aflame.The fight was chaotic as the abominations ran around while attaching wildly, like out of control maniacs.The first wave of the abominations slammed into Zoran, but it was like throwing water against a mountain. He didn't just fight, he wiped them out. With a speed that made him

“Awwuu!!!” The moment Naelis's red primordial wolf let out her soul-shattering howl, the atmosphere immediately shifted. The abominations and Lihont stared at her in horror as they knew that things were about to change and they would be the ones fighting for survival.Naelis didn't wait for a signal and didn't even look at Zoran. She was filled with so much anger and she simply exploded into motion.If Zoran was an obsidian black lightning, Naelis was a wildfire. She launched herself at the nearest group of black-eyed abominations, her massive red paws cracking the earth as she moved. She was so fast that to the eyes of Silas and the rogues, she was nothing more than a blurred streak of sunset crimson. One second an abomination was raising its sword-claw, and the next, its head was missing, crushed between Naelis’s jaws before it could even get the opportunity to attack.Zoran matched her pace perfectly. It was a terrifyingly beautiful sight, two of the largest wolves in existence,

The air in the cave was thick and heavy, smelling like wet stone and the intense heat coming off Naelis’s body. Zoran didn't give her a chance to pull away, as his kiss went from light and cautious to deep and rough in a split second. He was no longer just the calm monk, he was a man driven by a desperate need to save the woman he cares about. Naelis’s body immediately reacted to his touch, the sparks under her skin dancing toward the points where they were connected. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, pulling him closer as she kissed him back with a hungry and wild intensity that matched the fire in her blood.Zoran’s hands were shaking slightly, but they moved with a determined speed. He slid his palms under her shirt, the friction of his skin against hers sending a jolt through both of them.He swiftly unclasped her bra, the sound of the snap echoing in the quiet cave. Without breaking the kiss, he pulled her shirt over her head and tossed it aside, his eyes dark with

The silence that followed Naelis's words was a heavy and suffocating one. Silas looked like he had been turned to stone, his hand still frozen in mid-air where his fork had been. Jamie’s eyes were darting between Naelis and Marek as if he were trying to solve a puzzle. While Zoran stood perfectly still, his red-ringed eyes narrowed but he didn't say anything.Marek didn't move for a few minutes as his breathing hitched, and the hardened mask of the rogue leader finally shattered, leaving behind the face of a man who has been through a lot. Slowly, almost as if he were afraid she would vanish if he moved too fast, Marek walked up to her. He raised a trembling hand, his fingers grazing her cheek with a tenderness that made Naelis’s breath hitch.A small, emotional smile broke across his face, even as tears began to pool in his eyes. "You finally remember," he whispered, his voice thick with a mixture of grief and pure joy. “Oh goddess, Naelis... I thought that memory was buried so dee
