Max's POV
I'm Mike, the white wolf, Alpha of the Blood Moon Clan, the most powerful force in the world today. My purpose is clear: to protect the love of my life, the weak, and the world from its own destruction.
I despise bullying and deceit. My life changed forever the day I witnessed Jax, the arrogant son of a noble, mercilessly beating my friend Jason, a boy from a poor family. Jax, with his inflated sense of superiority, kicked Jason in the gut and insulted my mother. That was the last straw. Fueled by rage, I intervened, dragging Jason from Jax's grip and unleashing my pent-up fury. Despite Jax's noble upbringing and training, my years of hard work and resilience allowed me to defeat him.
After the fight, I tended to Jason's injuries, but soon, Jax's father, the patriarch of the Cashmere family, arrived. He didn't care about Jason; he only saw me as a lowly slave. I was locked away, but unbeknownst to me, Hannah, the girl I admired from afar, was watching. She was proud of my bravery and secretly compared me to Jax, whom she despised.
Hannah couldn't bear to see me suffer. That night, she snuck into the cell and freed me. We fled into the forest, two kids running from a world that sought to control us. Our escape was fraught with danger, and when we fell down a cliff, I shielded her with my body, knowing I could endure the pain for her sake.
Years later, we faced betrayal from Khalid, a trusted general. He attacked Hannah while she was vulnerable after childbirth. I rushed to her side, and though she was injured, her strength shone through. She fought back, and together, we overcame the threat.
Now, as the Blood Moon Emperor, I rule with love and fear. My people respect me, and I strive to protect them. But I know that true power comes from within, and I must train harder to safeguard my family and my empire.
Our bond, forged in hardship, is unbreakable. The Red Moon connects us, making us stronger together. As I continue to grow, I realize that our journey is far from over. Life has a way of balancing itself, and I will do everything in my power to protect my love and our future.
In this world of chaos, we are destined to rise again, united by the echoes of the Blood Moon.
**Echoes of the Blood Moon**
In the dim light of the supermarket, he felt the weight of his yearning pressing down on him like a heavy fog. His heart, painted in shades of red, ached for her in a way that made it hard to breathe. It was a strange irony that his daughter, usually his source of comfort, was leading the court today in his place, leaving him to navigate the tumult of his emotions alone.
He had met her recently, and the connection was undeniable. It was as if the universe had conspired to bring them together, yet he was terrified of the intensity of his feelings. He could sense her presence in the aisles, a magnetic pull that drew him closer, compelling him to seek her out.
As he approached her, he noticed the way her eyes lit up, a spark igniting between them. She had taken her feelings for him as a sign that they were meant to be, and he was both scared and impressed by her confidence. But he knew he had to woo her; she wasn't one to make it easy.
With each step, he felt the echoes of the blood moon guiding him, illuminating the path to a connection that felt both exhilarating and daunting. Would he be able to bridge the gap between their worlds, or would his fears hold him back? The answer lay in the moments that followed, as he prepared to take the leap into the unknown.
