31: May I Kiss You?

ALANAConnor led me down a narrow path behind the main building, far from the bustling servants and family members who usually passed through the area. His hand still felt warm in mine, his fingers intertwined with mine as if we had been doing this for years, even though we had only begun to get to know each other more deeply a few days ago.“Where are we going, anyway?” I asked, following his steady steps along the stone pathway.“You will see,” he replied, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. It was a rare sight, especially in this residence, where cold stares and rigid rules seemed to govern everything.We eventually reached a small hill at the edge of the estate, high enough to overlook the entire territory of Pack Savagaz. From there, I could see everything spread out below us, from the main compound and sprawling gardens to the forest surrounding the entire territory. The afternoon sun was beginning to set, painting the sky in soft shades of orange and purple.“This

32: The Relentless Whispers

ALANAThe morning air at Faang Academy felt much colder than usual as the black car carrying us passed through the main iron gates. The three-hour journey from the Savagaz estate had left us surrounded by long stretches of silence, but it was no longer the awkward silence we had shared before. An invisible weight hung between us, a lingering consequence of our conversation on the hill and the gentle touches that had nearly made me forget the very reason I had come here in the first place.As soon as the car stopped near the dormitory, Connor got out. He opened the door for me and offered his hand to steady me as I stepped out. His gaze was so intense, as if he needed to make sure I was all right after everything that had happened at his family's estate."I have a few things to take care of with the academy council," Connor whispered, his voice low and reassuring against my ear. "I will come see you tonight."I simply nodded, avoiding prolonged eye contact because I was afraid my racin

33: All For His Love...for Me

ALANAThe night grew darker as thick clouds covered the glow of the full moon above Faang Academy. I had memorized the route to the back of the academy by heart. Taking advantage of the relaxed security measures granted by the blood contract approved by the council, which allowed me to explore restricted areas when accompanied or conducting investigative missions, I deliberately slipped away during the shift change between the guards.I had only one destination tonight: the Hot Spring Well, an ancient hot spring located behind the academy complex.I wore a fitted black outfit, protecting myself against the bone-chilling cold. My footsteps were nearly silent as I leaped over the old stone fence surrounding the restricted area. Thick clouds of warm steam rose into the night air, mingling with the pungent smell of natural sulfur emanating from the well.The surroundings were eerily quiet. Several torches mounted on the stone walls left behind by the Savagaz ancestors cast frightening sha

34: Betraying Hiw Own Blood

ALANAThe words hung in the air, competing with the hiss of boiling hot water churning inside the ancient well.I stood frozen, staring at Barry's face illuminated by the dim glow of the torches mounted on the walls. There was no hesitation in his eyes, only desperation intertwined with a love that was rapidly approaching the edge of sanity.How was this possible? The man standing before me was a member of the Savagaz bloodline, the very family that had made my life a living hell. Yet here he was, offering me the key to his own family's destruction simply to earn a place in my heart."You're... not playing games with me, are you, Barry?" My voice trembled slightly as the dagger in my hand gradually loosened, though I still hadn't fully placed my trust in him.Barry shook his head slowly. He gently withdrew his hand from my grip on the dagger, then cupped my cheeks with his warm palms. His touch was so sincere that it sent a shiver down my spine as I realized just how deeply his obsess

35: An Alpha's Dangerous Hunger

ALANAThe warning sirens blared deafeningly, shattering the night's silence throughout the Faang Academy complex. Red emergency lights flashed and swept across the area, casting wild, dancing shadows on the stone corridor walls.Inside the steamy Hot Spring Well area, Barry and I stood panting heavily. My breathing was ragged, and my right hand, which had just gripped the hilt of the Lunar Sword, now felt emptier than ever.The sword had vanished.There was no trace of metal, no silver hilt radiating the sweet scent of mixed berries, and not even a damp mark on my palm. My skin was completely clean, as though the legendary weapon inherited from Pack Reed had never existed in my grasp in the first place."W-where...?" I stammered, panic striking me instantly. I searched the area around the empty stone altar.Empty. Bare. Nothing.Barry, who had been standing above me, hurried down to help me out of the water. His face had turned deathly pale as he stared around in utter disbelief."I..
