 The moment I appeared at the entrance of the hall, all heads turned toward me–Alfonso, Marlow, the guards nearby. Their expressions shitted rapidly from shock to awe, disbelief to recognition

 Honso’s voice broke slightly, cautious, unsure,

 He was wondering–was I whole again?

 I didn’t hesitate. I gave him a strong nod, lifting my chin. “Tam here. Thank you, Alfonso For everything”

 His shoulders finally dropped from their tense frame. Marlow exhaled a quiet, shaky breath. The others–waters, staff–stood a little straighter.

 Because I was me again.

 Not a shell. Not a ghost of memory

 I was Francesco Totti Lycaon, Lycan Alpha Protector of this territory. Mate of Eine Rollin

 -The potion… Alfonso murmured, as though still trying to believe it himself.

 “She seeded,” I replied before he could ask more. “My mate… my Luna… let her sleep. She’s earned it.”

 A flicker of emotion passed through his eyes. Respect. Admiration.

 And something deeper–loyalty to her.

 And now!

 Now I would fight for her. For us. For this pack.

 “They came to see if you were one of them now.” Alfonso stated, already understanding theyers beneath this rogue attack. “If their n worked, would stand down.”

 “No,” I said coldly. “They came to die.”

 His lips curled into a grim smile. “Then let’s give them what they came for.”

 I stepped forward and turned toward the west perimeter–the thick tree line where our defenses were strongest. My eyes narrowed as i saw the figures moving between the shadows–more than twenty rogues, lean and wild–eyed, Filthy. Desperate. Not just here to test us.

 Hore to destroy.

 “They thought I was weakened,” I said, my voice a low shart. “Let’s show them why I’m Alpha

 “Understood,” Alfonso said. “No one leaves alive.”

 “Let’s remind them why thisnd remains untouched”

 HOOWWWLLL!!!!

 My howl tore through the night sky like lightning cracking open a ck canvas.

 It was loud.

 It was powerful.

 And it carried something no enemy could replicate–Alphamand.

 The energy rippled across the pack like a shockwave. Every warrior lifted their head. Every heart steadied. Every hand tightened around their weapon 

 Their Alpha was back

 I saw the first one try to lunge, ws bared, but I moved faster. My jaws mped around his throat, crushing his windpipe before he even realized I was upon him. I threw his body aside like a ragdoll and spun, catching the next que mid–air, ripping through his nk with my ws

 They were scrambling–attacking recklessly.

 But we were focused.

 United.

 We fought with precision, with purpose. With vengeance.

 Each scream, each dying breath of a rogue was a reminder this was my territory. My pack. And my Luna they dared to threaten.

 Luca wasn’t among them. Of course not. The coward wouldn’t face me himself. He wanted to test the waters first, to see if I would turn against my own or

 Let him watch.

 Let him see the carnage from wherever he’s hiding.

 Let him tremble.

 We ughtered the rogues within minutes. The snow beneath our feet was soaked in crimson, the scent of death thick in the air.

 I shifted back, breathing heavy but satisfied. My hands dripped with blood. My chest heaved.

 “All clear, Alpha,” Marlow confirmed. “No survivors
