"Each betrayal leaves a scar… and hers ran the deepest.” Once, Aveline Laurent gave her heart to Damien Ashford - the man who promised her a future, only to cage her with sweet lies.

 Not to forget, but to make him remember. But revenge is never simple. The path is fraught with shadows—and an unlikely ally–Alaric Lancaster–whose loyalties remain as mysterious as his gaze. ~~~ This is an original story. Thank you ^_^ for giving it a try.

"The Last Bark of Orion" Bolt isn't your average Siberian Husky. Cruising the cosmos aboard the freighter Wanderlust with his pragmatic human captain, Eva Rostova, he’s a wisecracking, genetically-enhanced canine with the ability to talk and senses that reach beyond human understanding. His life, already extraordinary, catapults into the heart of an ancient galactic war when a mysterious signal from the Orion constellation awakens dormant ancestral memories within him—terrifying echoes of an eons-old conflict between star-faring Canid and Felid empires, both engineered by a vanished, god-like race known as the Progenitors. Plunged into a universe of intrigue and escalating danger, Bolt and Eva discover the truth behind the legends. The "Heart of Orion," a colossal and fractured Progenitor power source, pulses with unimaginable energy—a force that ruthless factions from both Canid and Felid empires now desperately seek to control, believing it the ultimate weapon. They see Bolt, with his unique Progenitor-linked "seed of hope" granting him profound empathy and a unique connection to the Heart, as the unwilling key to taming and wielding its devastating might. Hunted across the stars by formidable warlords who misunderstand the cryptic prophecy of "The Last Bark of Orion" as a command for conquest, Bolt is caught between warring ideologies. As he grapples with the terrifying allure of the power the Heart offers and the immense pressure to choose a side, his "First Echoes"—shared, agonizing memories from both sides of the conflict—pull him towards a different path. He begins to suspect that the "Last Bark" isn't a call to arms, but a complex, misunderstood Progenitor failsafe designed not to empower a victor, but to heal the fractured Heart and perhaps the galaxy itself. With Eva as his anchor, Bolt must navigate treacherous alliances and deadly confrontations, racing against time to understand the true nature of the Last Bark before the Heart of Orion is unleashed as a doomsday weapon. His choice will determine not only his own fate but whether the galaxy succumbs to an even greater cataclysm or takes its first fragile step towards a new dawn, founded on understanding rather than endless war.

He was the feral Alpha King buried beneath the mountain. She was the cursed girl they offered to him as sacrifice to end the famine plaguing their lands. ...but what sleeps beneath the mountain is no myth. Ruvan, the first Alpha. Imprisoned, driven to utter madness, and starved of power. Solenne, the packless she-wolf known as the Harbinger of Misfortune. With the power of cursed speech, she is able to kill and bend the world to her will with only one word. To avoid hurting others, she hasn't spoken a single syllable since she was a child. Feared and rejected by her own people, she is given to the mountain in a forbidden ritual-sacrifice... and her scent stirs the beast that slumbers beneath it. His mate. Ruvan will stop at nothing to claim what's his, even if that means storming the heavens and finding the cure to her curse just to hear her speak his name. ---- She saw stars behind her eyes and felt constellations carved into her skin with every lingering touch and each press of his mouth. He painted the night sky onto her body, not with a brush, but with his lips, hands, and his insatiable hunger—until her lungs were empty and her heart soared so high it must’ve kissed the moon. “Solenne,” Ruvan murmured, voice low and reverent, like a prayer. She shivered; the sound of her name on his lips felt like heaven. Ruvan pressed his palm to her stomach, anchoring her as he leaned in, mouth brushing the hollow of her throat. His hand rose, slow and shaking, tracing the shape of her jaw like it was a sight made only for him. His thumb brushed the corner of her mouth and his eyes burned as he studied her. “You feel like the stars,” he whispered, “Mesmerizing and bright... something that I want to capture and keep to myself." And then he kissed her; it was a deep, aching vow he couldn’t speak aloud. A promise made only in breath, heat, and need. When they parted, he gently pressed his forehead against hers. His voice dipped lower… uncertain, maybe even afraid: “Say my name?” -- R18, werewolves, fated love, weak to strong... I hope you enjoy my second entry for 2025 WSA. :) give it a shot~
