Freedom

In a world governed by hidden laws and powerful packs, Arabella, a rogue werewolf with a rare elemental gift, lives a life of solitary survival. But a chance trespass into the territory of the deadliest pack in America, the Dark Moon, shatters her carefully constructed existence. Captured by their ruthless Alpha, Xalvador, she discovers a terrifying truth: he is her fated mate. Now, trapped between the undeniable pull of the mate bond and her burning desire for freedom, Arabella must navigate a treacherous path where love and danger intertwine, and the consequences of defying her mate could be deadly.
The scent of wet soil and ancient trees fills your nostrils as you race through the forest, the adrenaline of the hunt still thrumming through your veins. Your white fur is matted with dew, your paws barely touching the mossy ground.
We need a place to rest, Fiana, you think, mind-linking your inner wolf. Somewhere safe, away from any scent of others.
Agreed, Ara. This wandering is tiring, Fiana replies, her voice a warm presence in your mind. Let's find that alley you spotted earlier. It felt quiet.
You turn, heading back the way you came, the image of the deep, shadowed alley in your mind. Just a little further, and you can shift back, rest your weary bones, and plan your next move in this endless game of survival.
