Chapter 106: Ball emergency

*~Cyrius’s POV~*

"Hazel, open the damn door!"

I stood in front of the bedroom she’d locked herself into, my fists clenched, ears tuned to the strange sounds echoing inside. Something was wrong. I could hear movement—something shifting, clawing, scraping—and it wasn’t human.

Without wasting another second, I slammed my shoulder into the door, splintering it open.

And then I froze.

My mouth fell open as I took in the scene.

A red dress lay crumpled in the corner like a fallen rose petal... and in the center of the room stood a creature—massive, majestic, and white. Not snowy-white like some wolves in winter. No, this was pure white, glowing under the moonlight that poured in through the window.

Hazel.

She was towering, almost as tall as me, her fur streaked with glimmers of silver and blood-moon red. Her golden eyes locked onto mine—wild, startled, and undeniably hers.

What the hell was I looking at? No ordinary wolf had a form like this. No one in the pack ever shifted into something this... this divine.

What in the gods’ names is she?

Suddenly, I heard voices outside.

"Cyrius? Is everything okay with her?"

"Cyrius..why did your wife suddenly disappear?"

Shit. Alexander.

He was approaching fast. He couldn’t see her like this,not now, not like this.

I leapt toward the door, stepping into the hallway just as he turned the corner.

"She’s fine," I said quickly, faking a tight smile. "The babies were crying. She just went to breastfeed them."

Alexander blinked. "Oh... I see."

I gave him a polite nod and blocked the entrance with my body. "Give us a few minutes. We’ll be back soon."

He nodded slowly, satisfied for now, and turned away.

When I closed the door behind me again and turned back around, the wolf was gone.

Hazel was on the floor, wrapped tightly in the bedsheets, shivering. Her skin was dewy with sweat, her breath shaky and uneven. She looked up at me with wide eyes.
