Novel & Cerita Nightowl Companion

“It might mean I miss out on a potentially awesome friendship, but this is what I’ve dedicated my life to, in service to the pack.” “And I appreciate it.” I slap my hand on my knee and stand, saying, “Well, I’ll let you get back to work.” “I thought I’d do a quick sweep of the rest of the house,” she says, all business. “You’re staying in here, for now?” “I am.” I gesture over my shoulder toward the bedroom. “Owen is taking a royal nap. If anything happened, he’d be awake in two seconds.” “He’d need to be awake a second before it happened,” Xiao says, then blanches. “Sorry. Bad professional habit.”

Former prisoners cut through ordinary soldiers, shared experiences binding old pack structures. The Winter Wolf's attuned senses detected something that froze him in recognition - a scent which does not belong in this place, on air which carried pine and winter gusts mixed with the heady lavender smell which had plagued his dreams for months. Lyra. His partner was here, somewhere among troops preparing to attack his enemy's fortress. The realization stimulated clashing impulses of protective instincts, keeping his omega safe from harm, and the need to complete the mission that would give him revenge for the slaughter of his family.

Only during the full moon will he awaken. Chase wondered what was wrong with his wolf. That rubbish was an Omega. An Omega, for heaven's sake! What business has he got with her? He hissed in disapproval and sank himself into the bath water.

Furthermore, the Alpha’s personal guard dogs, his Beta Aaron Mercer, and the younger brother of four siblings, Zaric—would have been running on pure adrenaline to protect the Alpha by now. I knew their faces, their ranks, and their patrol habits from the heavily researched files in my blue room. I mean, I used to be very close to Rowan... Thirteen years ago. By 1:30 AM, they were either rotated out or experiencing the inevitable, sluggish lull that comes with working in the dead of the night, especially when it was the full moon. The micro-tracker I had slipped into Rowan’s jacket had blinked a steady, stationary red dot on my encrypted device since the afternoon.

But, as if a switch had been flicked, the scene burst into chaos as howls began to echo off the wall of trees and building behind them until an evocative chorus rose up, becoming louder and louder. If anyone ever asked Lucas to explain what he had witnessed that night, he would admit he had no words for it. Where once human bodies lay wrestling with the throws of their first shift, were now wolves with their thick coats gleaming in the ethereal light of the moon. And in the middle of it all stood Hecate, her blue and gold eyes never leaving Lucas even as her friends crowded her with excited nuzzling and licks of affection. What are you, Chloe? Lucas found himself asking for what felt like th

Amarantha said. "We were hoping that we could offer patrol assistance, and added security. In a manner of speaking, we would join forces to help secure the area entirely," I told her. She nodded her head and thought for a second. She had a snow owl on a perch next to her and, as she thought, she stroked its head. I knew that the owl was her familiar. All elementals and witches had them.

They know to stay out of my way. And then I see him—a suspicious-looking warrior standing at the edge of the battlefield. He’s watching the fight, not engaging, his posture too calm for someone caught in the middle of a war. My eyes narrow, my instincts screaming at me. Without a second thought, I charge at him, my Lycan wolf barely contained. When I reach him, I grab him by the throat, lifting him effortlessly off the ground. His eyes widen in fear as he dangles from my grip. The scent... it’s faint, but it’s there. *Elara.*

But the human side of us lets the darker days eat away at us, consume us, and to a point rule us. ‘He could help us. No nightmares when we slept with his scent.’ She was right, when I slept with his shirt, which was saturated with his scent, I didn’t have a nightmare. But once that scent began to fade, the dark dreams began to manifest once more. Walking into the control room, The Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, including Halley of the Golden Circle pack along with Tobias are already seated. I’m acutely aware of my mate coming into the room behind me.

“You need to make sure that door is padlocked shut. We cannot afford you to drop to the ground unprotected. I will be assigning bodyguards to you over this now. I will be staying close but their job is to make sure you don’t get killed. Do not even argue with me.” I knew it would be pointless so I didn’t even try. I stood up and walked over to the balcony. It was pitch black but with our wolf vision, you could see everything. There was a barn owl sitting on the tree, watching a mouse try to evade it. I watched as the owl took off and expertly swooped down and snatched the mouse. It flew away and out of my eye sight. If only it was that easy tomorrow. Wyatt came up behind me and slid his arms

Power kills added power to the killing wolf so she was stronger now than before. I held my bag close to my body as I left the imposing castles and entered a part with no security lights. The stars were my only aid and even they were obscured by dark clouds. The omega quarters were a few more minutes away. I saw the soft lights in the distance. I couldn’t walk any faster the darkness seemed to be getting darker. I thought the panting coming from the night was me but when the panting turned to a growl I turned around and landed on my ass. An animal with smooth fur black fur like a panther and eyes like green marble. I crawled backwards slowly. This was the beast.
