Semua Bab Wild Heart ,Wolf’s Desire: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Tess stared at the painting, her mind racing. Where had that image come from? She didn't remember painting a wolf, let alone one with eyes that seemed to glow in the dark. The more she looked at it, the more unsettling it felt.She stepped back, bumping into her paint-splattered table. Brushes clattered to the floor, but Tess barely noticed. Her focus was on the wolf, its piercing yellow eyes seeming to watch her every move.Suddenly, the studio felt too small, too suffocating. Tess needed air. She grabbed her keys and slipped out into the night, leaving the wolf's gaze behind.The moon was high now, casting silver shadows across Willow Creek's quiet streets. Tess breathed in the cool night air, trying to shake off the weird vibe from the painting. She walked towards the town square, her feet taking her on autopilot.As she walked, she couldn't help but think about Liam. Who was he? Why did she feel this pull towards him? And what did he want with her?Tess reached the square, where a lo

The walk back from the woods was a journey through a world that had cracked open. Tess moved between Fred and Ethan, a human anchor on each side, but she felt unmoored. The ground beneath her feet no longer felt like simple earth and root; it felt like a skin stretched over something ancient and snarling.She saw it all behind her eyelids, on a repeating, terrifying reel: the yellow flash of animal eyes in human faces, the blurring of shape and bone, the sound oh God, the sound of a man becoming a wolf. And Liam at the center of it all, a dark storm of protection and power. His final, human gaze had burned into her, full of a possession that thrilled and terrified her in equal measure.The icy-eyed stranger’s voice was the period at the end of the insane sentence. “Liam. We need to talk.” And Liam had gone, with one last, lingering look at her that promised this isn’t over. He’d followed the stranger back into the deep dark, leaving Tess with the aftermath.They reached the sanctuary

The air was heavy with tension. Liam's jaw was clenched, Ryder's eyes were narrowed, and Ethan's guitar hummed softly, like it was alive. Adrian leaned against the wall, watching the drama unfold with an air of amusement. Lyra, still smiling, seemed to be enjoying the chaos she'd created. Fred, still catching his breath, looked at Tess with a mix of fear and determination.Tess felt like she was on the verge of a breakdown. "What prophecy? What supernatural father?" She looked at each of the guys, searching for answers.Liam took a step forward, his voice calm but with an undercurrent of anger. "We'll figure this out, Tess. But first, Lyra, tell us more about this prophecy."Lyra shrugged, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Oh, it's simple. The pack's leader will be determined by a test and Tess is the key to unlocking it. The one who passes the test will lead the pack...and claim Tess as theirs."Ryder snorted. "Sounds like a load of BS to me."Ethan's guitar grew louder, the music d

Tess stood outside the windmill, the rusty blades creaking in the wind like a warning. Liam waited inside, his eyes burning with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat. She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and slipped inside.The dim light swallowed her, and for a moment, she was lost in the darkness. Then Liam's voice whispered her name, sending shivers down her spine. "Tess."She moved towards the sound, her eyes adjusting to the dim light. Liam stood by the wall, his chest bare, his jeans slugging low on his hips. The shadows danced on his skin, making him look like a god."What do you want, Liam?" she asked, trying to sound calm.He didn't answer. Instead, he pushed off the wall and stalked towards her. Tess's heart pounded in her chest as he backed her into a corner, his eyes burning with desire."You're in danger, Tess," he growled, his voice low and husky. "The pack...they're not what they seem."Tess's mind reeled. What did he mean? She tried to process, but Lia

Tess slowly came to, her head pounding like a drum. She was lying on a cold, damp surface, and the air was thick with the smell of salt and seaweed. She opened her eyes, blinking away the haze.She was in a cave, the walls rough and rocky. Liam was sitting next to her, his eyes fixed on hers with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat."Hey," he said softly, his voice low and husky. "You okay?"Tess nodded, trying to sit up. Liam helped her, his hands warm on her skin. She felt a jolt of electricity at his touch, but pushed it aside."What happened?" she asked, her voice hoarse."We were ambushed," Liam said, his eyes scanning the cave. "The Red Hand. They must have set up a trap."Tess's heart sank. "Fred? Ryder? Ethan?"Liam's face was grim. "They're safe. We got them to a safe house. But we need to get you safe, too."Tess nodded, trying to process everything. She was getting tired of running, tired of being afraid."What do they want from me?" she asked, her voice barely abo
