Chapter 12
The moment my words
is fell, the three snow mastiffs regained their earlier savagery-[]
But this time, their fury wasn’t aimed at me ||
They turned on each other.]
Roaring and snarling, they tore into their own packmates|||
Bined and flesh flew in all directions
One had its nose batten off.||
Another had its tall torn dean through ||
“Awoo
Their howls of agony pierced the surveillance room speakers,]
Sp loud it felt like the screen itself night shatter]]
Ronan slowly sat up straight.|||
The haze in his eyes grew darker and deeper.||
His Alpha aitra began to unfurl quietly around him.]
Then, without a word, he stood
He tossed away his cigarete and crushed it under font
Turning toward the dungeon with long, purposeful strides.||
In the basement-
The
snow mastiff whose
mastiff whose tall had been torn off was now locked in a death grip on another’s throat.
The injured one whined in pain
The last, bloodlust in its eyes, thok advantage of the moment to bunge–0
its javes ripped a chunk of flesh from the pinned brast’s shoulder
I stood to the side, watching the gore unfold with enim expression.[]
These tree snow muffs had clearly been trained as man–eaters]
If I hadn’t defended myself in time,
It would’ve been me they were ripping apart right now![]
I was just about to finish them off completely when-
“Stop
A deep, mold voice echoed from beyond the iron door,
The weight of it thick enough to still the air itself. []
– My movements froze.)
I turned slowly and saw him—||
Tall, composert, looming in the doorway like a storm doaked in night||
His eyes were black as ink, utterly devoid of emotion]]
sheer pressure he emitted made it hard for me to breathe []
Tyylin are you really? ||
masked, voice low and sharp.

Instead, my eyes flattered shut-||
Almost at the same time]
The show mastift’s broke free of my contre ||

Their eyes were filled with hatred as they locked onto the-||
Ready to pouner for revenge.]]
But just as they moved, Rasan snappedt||
and down theless muits! ||
His voice was cold, communding–laccil with the unshakable autfiority of an Alpha||
The beasts, terbent of their master, dares not disobe
Wounded and whimpering
They turned and limped back into the shadows of their cages ||
Ronan glanced sideways at Gareth.||
Gareth’s heart nearly stopped.]
Scrambling forward, he hurriedly opened the dungeon gate.
Roman stepped in.
The air was thick with the stench of blood.]
The flour was
as slick with it-
Scanered with broken limbs, torn talls, and a pair of shattered fangs
At from his snow mastiffs.]]
hese beasts were elite-[]
Purebred, handpicked by Ronan himself and trained through brutal methods ||
Together, they could fear apart n tiger with ease.[]
And yet the woman before him :[]
Had made them turn on each other without lifting a finger.
“Alpha, should we–‘”||

His eyes widened In disbelief ||

And picked her up ||
He carried her out of the blood soaked room in long strides
Halfway down the corridor, 1 regained consciousness.]]
Ever since returning from the Moon Goddess’s Temple.]]
My spiritual perception had grown stronger ||
But every use come at a cost-
It drained my

Other times it led to nosebleeds, tinnitus, or even temporary memory loss.[]
By all logic. I should’ve been unconscious for at least three or four hours.
But this time ||
of even ten minutes had passed before i was fully awake[]
Not
I didn’t open my eyes ||
I just quietly leaned against Roman’s chest[]
Alphas ran hot–D
And the heat from his body seeped through my skin.
Warming my blood and bones like the first rays of spring
Since my wolf soul had been bound by the Moon Goddesa’s contract,||
I could no longer feel warmth from ordinary werewolves
But Homan was different[]
His pheromones resonated faindly with the lunar sigils inside me [
