The forest was filled with the sound of gunshots and growls.
Ariana stood frozen behind a large tree, her heart beating wildly.
She had just seen something impossible.
Jayden… had turned into a giant black wolf.
Kayden had also transformed into a powerful wolf with blazing golden eyes.
"Werewolves…" Ariana whispered in disbelief.
The battle between the hunters and the two brothers was fierce.
One hunter fired a silver bullet toward Jayden.
Jayden dodged quickly and knocked the man down with a powerful strike.
Kayden jumped over another hunter and threw him into the bushes.
Within minutes, the hunters began retreating.
They had underestimated the power of two Alpha wolves.
Soon the forest became quiet again.
The hunters had escaped.
Jayden slowly transformed back into his human form.
Kayden did the same.
Both of them were breathing heavily after the fight.
Suddenly…
Jayden's sharp senses caught something.
A scent.
A human scent.
His eyes immediately turned toward the trees.
"Ariana…" he said coldly.
Ariana stepped out slowly from behind the tree.
Her hands were shaking.
She looked at Jayden with wide eyes.
"You're… werewolves," she said quietly.
Kayden raised an eyebrow.
"Well… looks like the secret is out."
Jayden's expression darkened.
"You shouldn't have followed us," he said firmly.
Ariana shook her head.
"I didn't know you would turn into… that."
For a moment, silence filled the forest.
Jayden stared at her carefully.
Now that she knew the truth, things had become complicated.
"Humans can't know about us," Jayden said quietly.
Ariana swallowed nervously.
"So… what happens now?"
Kayden crossed his arms and smirked.
"Well, brother… what are you going to do?"
Jayden looked at Ariana again.
His wolf instincts stirred inside him.
He knew something important.
Ariana was not just any human.
She might be his fated mate.
And hurting her was not an option.
Jayden finally spoke.
"You're coming back to the mansion with us."
Ariana looked surprised.
"What?"
Jayden turned toward the forest path.
"Because from now on… it's too dangerous for you to stay alone."
Ariana realized something terrifying.
Her life had just become much more complicated.
Because now…
She knew the biggest secret of the Alpha brothers.
