Uninvited Guest

The man in front of her had facial features similar to Austin's, with a strong jawline and athletic posture, but his eyes were brighter."Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Nolan Darkmore," said the young man as he bowed respectfully. "Austin's distant cousin, the Alpha who is said to be busy."Seara blinked. She looked Nolan up and down.This man was wearing a very neat formal suit, but there was a childish impression on his clean-shaven face."Did you just graduate from basic academy? You look still... very young," asked Seara, looking at the man's face in front of her.Nolan wasn't offended. Instead, he chuckled, revealing his neat row of white teeth."Age is just a number. But, try to guess what attracted me to say hello to you," Nolan asked back with a meaningful smile."I don't know," Seara replied, shrugging her shoulders slightly."The scent of Cattleya, a beautiful and understated flower. You're like that, Seara."Seara shook her head, amused. Instead of feeling uncomfortable

Hunter and Warrior

"Damn it!"Austin was Alpha Lycanisius, leader of the Lycan nation. But that afternoon, his pride had been trampled on by Nolan, and even more painfully, by his own Luna-to-be, in public."Alpha, a report from the northern border has just come in."Alex's voice broke the anger that still burned in the office. The Beta didn't dare look him in the eye. Austin knew that Alex understood that one wrong word could end his life."Speak," Austin ordered curtly."A small village in the neutral zone, near Cinder Valley, was attacked last night. A rogue pack. They burned the barns and kidnapped five young she-wolves. There are many wounded, and they have no permanent healer."Austin stood up immediately.The neutral zone was not his legal responsibility. But allowing Rogue to roam near the Lycanisius border was like letting pests into his own kitchen.And more than that, this could be an opportunity. It could be the same rogue pack that attacked him yesterday."Prepare a small patrol unit. We're

Rain of the Past

Seara walked behind Austin, staring at the man's stiff, rigid back. Every step Austin took exuded an authority that was suffocating to her.Beside her, Nolan was still trying to lighten the mood with his lighthearted chatter, even though the tension in the air was impossible to hide."You know, Seara, this forest is much more boring than the tulip garden at the pack house," Nolan whispered as he jumped over a tree root. "At least there I could pick flowers for you without worrying about getting itchy sap on my hands."Seara only snorted softly in response. Her attention remained fixed on Austin, who had suddenly stopped in front of a giant tree. Austin crouched down, his long fingers touching the ground, which seemed slightly more concave than the surrounding area."Their tracks lead to the northwest," Austin said in a heavy voice that echoed in the eerie silence of the forest. "Towards Rain Hill Village."Beta Alex, who was always two steps behind Austin, frowned. He checked the tact

Flash of Anger

The aftermath of the storm left the ground wet and muddy when the group arrived at the outskirts of Rain Hill Village.Austin ordered one Hunter Lycan to infiltrate the village, while he and the other lycans rested by the river.Seara opened her rain-soaked supply bag as she calmed Austin down. She had to dry the leaves wrapping the meat pies, waving them in the air until she decided they were still edible.She distributed the meat pies to every member of the pack, including Austin and Nolan.Nolan, who was happy to be given one by Seara first, immediately acted silly and showed it off to Austin.Austin, fed up with his cousin's behavior, responded with a wink to Seara."Thank you, Seara." Austin held Seara's hand longer, teasing Nolan."Alpha, there are still members I have to give bread to. Can you let go of my hand?" Seara pulled her hand harder until it came loose."Nolan can touch and even kiss your hand. Why can't I?" Austin asked with an annoyed look."I told you he's polite. U

Emergency Call

The warrior wolves walked at the front of the line, while Seara walked in front of Austin with Nolan, her steps much calmer than when they had departed.In front of Seara, five young she-wolves who had just been rescued walked with trembling bodies, wrapped in spare cloaks belonging to the Hunters.Austin gave brief instructions to Beta Alex without stopping. He ordered that the she-wolves be taken immediately to Moyan Hill, a village neighboring Mogur Hill—the village of the she-wolves that was still under Lycanisius' supervision.Austin decided to evacuate them so they would be safer than taking them directly back to Mogur Hill because the village was still in ruins and it might take months to revitalize it.Seara walked alongside one of the young girls who looked the most shocked.She held the girl's arm, transferring the warmth from her palm to suppress the tremors that wouldn't stop. The girl turned to Seara with teary eyes."Thank you," the girl whispered. Her voice was almost d

Traitor

Seara paced back and forth in her room. Perhaps it was time she found out what was going on between Austin and the elders in the meeting.She followed Austin's footsteps quietly. Occasionally hiding behind a pillar, or crouching behind a display table in the corridor when Austin stopped to greet pack members who passed him.Meanwhile, Austin felt that Seara was following him. He let her. To him, Seara could know the contents of the meeting because she was his Moon candidate.Austin knew that the infiltration of Rain Hill was not just a random attack. The Rogues knew exactly when to attack and where their weak point was: the rain.In the dimly lit meeting room, Austin sat in the main chair. To his left and right, the pack elders had gathered with stiff faces. Alex stood behind him as a loyal witness.The atmosphere was tense, as if the oxygen in the room had been sucked out by the tension on the faces of the Lycanisius wolves."I have gathered you for a closed investigation," Austin be

Traumatic Stress

Seara stood stiffly between Austin and Nolan. The night air pressed against her chest. Seara tried to regulate her breathing so she could mediate between the two.Her heartbeat was difficult to control, her palms already damp with sweat. Austin's gaze hardened, turning cold, piercing Nolan without hesitation.Nolan pulled his arm out of Austin's grip, laughing softly as if the situation was funny to him."Wow. Looks like our Alpha is too easily provoked."Austin took a step forward. "Stop pretending to be innocent. Your face is too sly to keep fooling me."Seara swallowed hard. She didn't expect Austin to react so quickly. Nolan's face was no longer relaxed. His slight smile turned into something sharper."What's innocent about it?" Nolan asked lightly. "I was just talking to myself. Is that a crime in your territory, Alpha?""Don't play dumb," Austin said. His voice was low. "You said there was something dangerous to Seara. My hearing is still normal, Nolan."Nolan clapped his hands

Spirit Alignment Ritual

Seara woke up because of a vibration in her ear. When she opened her eyes, Austin was blowing into her ear."What are you doing?""Waking you up, but not startling you." Austin grinned, his face as bright as the sun shining through his bedroom window.Austin pointed to the purple bruise on Seara's hand, which was more than just a bruise. Thin black lines now spread from the center of the bruise, forming a spiral pattern that seemed to pulsate with her heartbeat.Seara immediately covered the bruise with a blanket. She didn't want Austin to keep looking at it. Yesterday she hadn't had time to ask Healer Winona, and this afternoon she had to find out the answer from the bruise."It looks worse. You should go to the hospital after we have breakfast. I don't want you to get hurt.""Yeah, I'll do that. Now can you go out first? I want to take a shower."As she washed her face in the mirror, Seara heard the whisper again. She remembered Arach's warning about black energy residue. She never
