LOGINMy body slammed against the creaking wooden floor. Thick, decades-old dust immediately flew into the air, rushing into my nostrils.With a sickening, contemptuous laugh, one of the large guards roughly pulled the cloth covering my eyes. The dim light from the rusty ventilation slits seared my retinas. I blinked several times, trying to focus. The guard's silhouette turned around and slammed the steel door shut. The sound of the metal locks clanging outside was my sentence.Now I was alone in this warehouse, filled with broken furniture and the musty smell of rotting wood.I tried to move my jaw, but the rough cloth gagging my mouth was tied so tightly that it cut the corner of my lip. Thick rope wrapped around my wrists and ankles, completely restricting my movement until my fingertips began to feel numb.Damn it. Why the hell am I crying just over this? I just have to run away like before, and this time I should make sure my revenge was done perfectly.I lowered my head with difficul
"What nonsense? Alice? Here?" Victor replied with a dismissive snort. A wide grin spread across his face, revealing rows of sharp teeth."Stop playing games," Ronan's voice cut through the silence of the garden. "I know perfectly well you've been holding her captive for days now.""You're delusional, Mr. Bachnault. I've been hunting that sinner to every corner of the border as well.""At least you aren't denying that you know Alice."Ronan took a deep breath, forcing the heavy air from his lungs. His brow furrowed deeply as he stared straight at the man across the table. "Do you really want to play it like this?""And?" Victor leaned forward, challenging him. "What can you do on my turf if I actually want to?"Ronan studied Victor's smug face. The veins on the backs of his hands twitched beneath the table, itching to crumple that haughty face like an old newspaper. The man before him, no, this Alpha werewolf before him, was far too predictable. He was like an open book printed with ch
"Sir, they refuse to open the gate. Should I deal with them?"The driver, sitting behind the wheel, turned half his body back. He lowered his gaze completely, not daring to look directly at the man sitting in the passenger seat.In the dimly lit backseat, Ronan simply sat, tapping the muzzle of his high-caliber pistol against the leather armrest. The constant rhythm shattered the silence inside the car, sounding like the ticking of a time bomb.His eyes glanced out the window. Two large guards stood in front of the security post, standing proudly in front of the four-meter-high iron gate. Behind the gate loomed a luxurious, classic European-style mansion. It was only an hour's drive from the city center, yet its location was incredibly isolated.Who would have thought that this magnificent building was a den of wolves?"Roll down the window," Ronan ordered after allowing the suffocating silence to settle in the cabin."Pardon? Ah... Yes, sir."The tinted window beside Ronan slid down
Bang! Bang! Bang!The underground shooting range was filled with a choking haze of gunpowder smoke. The concrete floor around Ronan's feet was covered in dozens, perhaps hundreds, of discarded brass shell casings. His calloused palms were raw, seeping fresh blood that stained the grip of the pistol, but the man didn't stop.He kept pulling the trigger. The muzzle of his gun spewed hot lead toward the target paper at the far end of the room. The paper was now deformed, torn to shreds by the brutal, absurdly precise shots.In the corner of the room, the uniformed servant guarding the facility swallowed hard. Cold beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, wetting his shirt collar. The officer's eyes darted frantically toward the now-empty ammunition storage cabinet. His mind raced, trying to figure out how to tell his Master that their ammunition supply was completely exhausted, without ending up being shot, or worse, having his jaw smashed in by Ronan's fist.Click.The sound of empty me
"Ugh!"I felt my body become as light as cotton, floating through the air for a few agonizingly slow seconds... before turning into heavy, waterlogged cotton as my back slammed against the mansion's stone wall with a terrifying crack. My body slumped helplessly onto the ground. Warm blood trickled from my temple.My eyes blinked sluggishly, fighting against the blinding pain. My vision was blurry and tinted red. However, in the distance, I saw Radine's silhouette sprinting toward me."Don't touch her! Don't you dare!" Radine shouted. The girl leaped, shifting into her red wolf mid-air."Ra... dine..." I whispered hoarsely as a single tear escaped the corner of my eye.However, Radine was hopelessly outnumbered. Five elite war
I clenched my fists, staring straight into Victor's eyes, which flashed with sick anticipation.Damn. My brain is spinning fast. Was this Luna Brigitte's rotten plan from the start? Offering me that stupid mansion just to buy time until my real buyer arrived?"Where are you going, traitor?" His baritone voice vibrated against the marble floor beneath my feet.I lifted my chin, returning his gaze just as sharply. "Wherever I please. The exit is wide open.""Says who?""Alpha Victor, I heard you were looking for a traitor from your pack," Luna Brigitte's voice called out from behind me. Her tone sounded so elegant, a stark contrast to the poison she had just spat out.I glared curtly to the side, feeling my blood boil. Luna Brigitte had really set me up. "What are you doing, Luna?" I hissed sharply.The middle-aged woman didn't bother to return my gaze. She was silent for a moment, took a sip of her coffee, then looked at Victor. "Alpha Victor, could you please take that away from my ho
Victor tightened his arm around Ella, guiding her to the sofa. Before them, Edmund dropped to his knees, pressing his forehead against the cold floor.“Forgive me, Young Alpha, for failing to raise my child right. I am ready to accept your punishment. This is entirely my fault, not my other childre
As the guards grabbed my legs to drag my limp body, the Alpha stepped into the centre of the ground, his voice cutting through the noise."To welcome my daughter-in-law, Ella, into the family, I have brought a special gift for her," he announced delightedly. "The Hunter has been captured! Now you c
"What have you done to your own sister, Alice?!" Father's roar was thunderous.“Father, that's not…”Before I could blink, a heavy blow struck my head. I staggered, my vision swam, and I collapsed onto the dirt. The only one who met my gaze at that time was Victor, but he… he was still hugging Ella
On the night that was meant to mark our bond, my mate forced me to kneel and beg forgiveness from my older sister, Ella."Ella has suffered enough because of you, Alice."I lifted my head slowly.Victor, the future Alpha, stood before me. Tall, composed, and perfect. The man who used to look at me
