Chapter 10 - Rejecting The Wolfish Form

• “Why is this happening?” — Sophie's voice was like a whisper, filled with confusion and pain.
• Unconsciously, she nuzzled her muzzle into the Alpha's neck, sending shivers through his fur. A mixture of desire and the need to possess her overwhelmed him. The wolf before him had just undergone a transformation without losing her sanity, a process unlike anything the king had ever seen. She had been promised to him by her goddess. The effects were already noticeable, and he tried hard not to claim her. It was too early; she had to understand what she had become, she had to be trained to control her transformation, and then she would have to accept him as her mate. Before his eyes, he knew it wouldn't be an easy task, but the challenge of winning his prey was enticing.
• “Why was I cursed?” — Sophie's question caught the Alpha off guard, pulling him out of his dark reverie. Her voice sounded like a lament, tinged with sadness.
