The woods seemed to be sleeping, but Kaden knew that this sleep was deceptive. He stopped at the edge of a dark clearing, his senses alert. Every rustle of a tree, every crack of a branch contained a threat. His golden eyes scanned the darkness, searching for what he could not yet see but felt, just beyond the veil.
Behind him, the pack moved in silence, their steps light despite the tension. There weren't many of them tonight, just enough to form a squad capable of defending themselves. A dozen, no more. Some were seasoned veterans, others were inexperienced young guns, but they all knew they were not alone.
"They are there. I feel it," Kaden whispered, his voice deep, closer to a growl than a sentence.
Elira slipped in beside him. Her frail stature might have made her appear vulnerable, but her eyes told a different story. This wise wolf, pillar of the pack, observed the Alpha with careful attention.
"The forest won't protect us forever, Kaden . The situation demands change," she said calmly.
"Not tonight, Elira," he replied without looking at her.
Elira's gaze darkened. She knew his stubbornness, but she had a feeling that his stubbornness was leading them straight to disaster. Kaden led the pack with a firm hand, but brute force would no longer be enough in a world where enemies learned to track them, to defeat them.
A distant noise sounded, followed by a silence that seemed to last forever. The murmur of the woods had stopped. Kaden turned his head, his gaze piercing, while a shudder ran through the ranks.
"Training," he ordered, his voice cutting.
The wolves complied. Accustomed to obedience, they quickly placed themselves in a defensive circle, the strongest on the outside, ready to absorb the first shock. Kaden took his place at the front, his imposing figure a reminder that he was more than a leader: he was a force in his own right.
Darian , the young wolf, placed himself at his side. His movements were lively, almost nervous. Impatience emanated from him like heat, an energy difficult to channel.
"What are we waiting for? » he breathed, unable to contain his ardor.
Kaden gave him a hard look. "The first mistake always comes from the enemy. »
A whistle split the air. An arrow stuck in a tree nearby. Then everything changed.
The Moon Hunters emerged from the shadows, stealthy figures clad in black. Armed with silver blades and specialized rifles, these humans had learned to no longer fear supernatural creatures. They were precise, methodical, and every movement was calculated to hurt.
The pack reacts in an instant, their humanity dissolving in a brutal transformation. Bodies twisted, bones cracked, limbs elongated, and soon, massive wolves stood where men had stood seconds before.
Kaden led the charge. In his lupine form, he was immense, a mass of black muscle whose luminous eyes betrayed a cold and implacable intelligence. His first opponent had no time to react: he was thrown to the ground by the impact, his throat torn before he even understood what had hit him.
Darian , transformed into a gray wolf, rushed with an agility that distinguished him from the rest. His fangs snapped, his claws sliced through the air, but his impatience pushed him to disperse.
" Darian , stay with the group! » growled Kaden , a command mixed with anger and frustration.
The young wolf ignored the warning, pursuing a Hunter who was moving away from the main confrontation. This moment of disobedience almost proved fatal to him. A quick blow from a silver blade grazed his side, drawing a howl of pain from him.
Kaden , seeing the danger, rushed to his aid. He pounced on the Hunter, throwing him violently against a tree before transforming briefly to scold Darian .
"You want to die? » he thundered.
Darian , panting but stubborn, replied in a defiant tone. "I'm doing what you refuse to do: acting. »
The Alpha narrowed his eyes, but before he could respond, a warning cry distracted their attention.
A young wolf, still fragile in his transformation, had fallen. Three Hunters were advancing towards him, weapons raised. Elira, in a desperate gesture, intervened. She was holding a stolen dagger, but faced with three armed adversaries, it seemed insignificant.
Kaden felt a cold rage invade him. This was not just an attack on the pack, but a personal affront. Without hesitation, he threw himself into the fray, crushing everything in his path.
###
The fight ended as suddenly as it had begun. The ground was littered with bodies, both human and lupins, and the metallic smell of blood saturated the air.
Kaden , back in his human form, looked around with a hard expression. His body was covered with wounds, but it was the moral pain that weighed the heaviest. Too many losses.
Elira approached, supporting the injured young wolf who was struggling to walk. His gray eyes met those of Kaden , a mixture of reproach and exhaustion in their gaze.
"This path leads us straight to our doom," she whispered.
Kaden looked away. He didn't need to be told that.
Darian stood aside, his gaze alternating between the dead and Kaden .
"We can't continue like this," he declared, his voice low but firm.
The Alpha slowly turned towards him, his features hard as stone.
"Do you have a better idea, Darian? »
The young wolf did not back down. He locked his gaze with Kaden , challenging the leader's authority without flinching.
" Maybe. »
A heavy silence settled in, laden with latent tensions. Elira, sensing the conflict ready to erupt, intervened.
"This is not the time or place," she said. "We have other priorities. »
Kaden clenched his jaw, but turned away, ending the exchange.
They gathered up the wounded and dead, each loss weighing heavily on their shoulders. But beyond the corpses, beyond the blood and tears, an unrelenting truth emerged: the world had changed, and Kaden must change with it.
As they left the clearing, one thought lingered in the Alpha's mind.
The biggest fight wouldn't be against the Moon Hunters. It would be against himself.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
