📖 Episode 1 - The Night of the Full Moon
The forest was unusually silent. Even the wind seemed to hold its breath as Ariana Grey stumbled through the trees, clutching her bag tight against her chest. She had only meant to take the shortcut home, but now… shadows were moving between the branches, following her every step.
A sudden howl split the night. Low, deep, and close.
Her heart pounded. What was that? A wolf? Here?
Before she could run, a massive dark figure leapt from the shadows—eyes glowing crimson. Its fangs gleamed under the moonlight. Ariana froze, terror rooting her to the spot.
The creature lunged—
And then, in a blur of silver and black, another shape crashed into it. Snarls, claws, teeth—two wolves locked in a deadly fight. One of them radiated power, his golden eyes flashing like fire.
Ariana stumbled backward, her breath caught in her throat. She should run. She had to run. But her body refused to move. Her gaze locked on the golden-eyed wolf.
Moments later, the crimson-eyed beast fled into the darkness, leaving the golden-eyed wolf standing tall, his fur streaked with silver under the moonlight.
And then—before her very eyes—the wolf shifted. Bones cracked, fur melted away, and a man stepped forward.
Tall. Broad shoulders. Eyes like burning gold.
“Don’t move,” his voice was low, commanding, dangerous.
Ariana gasped. “W-What are you?”
The man’s lips curled into something between a smirk and a growl. He stepped closer, towering over her trembling form.
“I am your Alpha,” he whispered, his gaze piercing into her soul. “And you… are my mate.”
Ariana’s world spun. Her knees nearly buckled. Mate? What is he talking about?
But before she could protest, the bond between them ignited like fire—an invisible pull that made her heart race and her breath hitch.
She tried to step back, but the Alpha caught her wrist, his grip firm yet burning with heat.
“From this night forward,” he said, eyes narrowing with deadly certainty,
“you belong to me.”
