**Elroy's POV** * The smile disappeared from my mother's face. "Don't be funny, Elroy. I heard she was as small as a cat. She's not even as tall as 100-year-old Shirley..." "I know, Mom, but my Wolf claimed she was my mate. I was just as shocked as you were when I heard the news." "But she's so small. How can she marry you? How can she have a baby with you?" "That's why I came to you," I said, helping my alarmed mother into a chair. "I wanted to ask you, do you know of any way to make her body as big as ours?" Instead of answering my question directly, my mother looked me in the eye and asked, "Elroy, tell me, do you really like her?" "Yes, I like her." I nodded firmly. "Do you see her as a playmate or a lover?" "I don't know. All I know is, from the first moment I saw her, I wanted to be with her forever. I don't want to be separated from her for a second." My mother was silent for a long time, judging by the struggle on her face that she was making a difficult decision.
**Elroy's POV** * "Beta, this is no time for jokes." My father said in a low voice. "I'm sorry, I'm serious. The Winged Wolves look like they've been preparing for a long time, while our warriors have not been trained for a long time." "When was the last time we trained?" My father frowned. "Three hundred years ago, Your Majesty." "Aren't we supposed to train every hundred years?" "Since there has been no war for so long, we have changed our training to once every three hundred years, Your Majesty." We all fell into silence. The Winged Wolves I despised turned out to be our formidable enemies. Aren't they slightly bigger mosquitoes to us? I couldn't help asking, "But how could we possibly lose with such a big difference in size? It is difficult for their swords and arrows to penetrate our skin." Beta replies, "Yes, that's what the warriors thought at first. But the winged wolves can fly, and they are always flexible enough to dodge attacks from warriors and pick their most
**Elizabeth's POV***"Why? Are you afraid of losing to her?" asked the King, laughing.Princess Shirley looked my figure up and down, from head to toe, clenched her fist, and said, "No. I will not lose to her! Let's fight!"Although I was still confused, I had a vague feeling that they had called me not just to scold me for beating the princess. They may have other ideas, but I don't care.If the King wants me to fight his precious daughter again, so be it. I'm not going to go easy on Princess Shirley just because he's there.The princess gracefully carried her skirt down the steps and stood face-to-face with me. There was still fear in her eyes, but she maintained her haughty attitude."You are lucky to be my opponent again. My father asked me to test you for combat skills. You can show it as you like. In order not to hurt you, I won't use my full strength."This proud princess was imploring me to play along with her and not to use my full strength. But why should I listen to her? I
**Elizabeth's POV***At Elroy's stunned gaze, I continued, "I knew that defeating the immature princess was my limit. I can't beat those adult giant wolves, no matter what. But that doesn't stop me from teaching them to explore their limits.""I'm confident I can be their instructor not because I'm stronger than they are, but because I know more than they do.""Elroy, when you think of me as more than just your beautiful useless doll, I will not only surprise you, I will shock you."Elroy became silent. The way he looked at me seemed to have changed. For so long, he had looked at me with a condescending, doting gaze until this moment when he began to look at me seriously."I see, Elizabeth."I finally felt respected by Elroy instead of being teased like a pet or a doll.Led by the king, I made my way to the warrior camp.The king announced that I would be their combat training instructor. Under the king's majesty, no one dared to raise any objection.They just looked at me with shock
**Elizabeth's POV***Two huge bodies rushed toward each other. I could even feel the ground shaking.The two swords clashed together with a heart-pounding sound. Elroy's strength was obviously not as great as that of the warrior. His sword was pressed lower and lower by his opponent.But Elroy remembered what I had told him earlier: Don't compare strength with your opponent.He spun outward on his toes, then deliberately tilted his sword downward. As the warrior stumbled, he slashed his palm.Elroy tried to get the warrior's sword off, but the warrior was apparently not the inexperienced Princess Shirley. The warrior took a few steps back at once to avoid Elroy's attack.The odor of blood made the atmosphere begin to change. It now looked like a real battle.Both of them had beast-like eyes that wanted to tear each other apart.The warrior roared and swung his sword at Elroy's arm, and Elroy dodged nimbly while not forgetting to find an opportunity to attack.They tested, defended, a
**Elizabeth's POV***I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. I froze for at least five seconds before making a sound."So, it was Alpha Galen who tried to kill you, and then blamed it all on the Giant Wolf? Oh, my moon goddess, thankfully, you survived. Isidore, you should expose your brother's conspiracy. You should show all the Winged Wolves that Galen is a lie-filled liar.""I'm sorry, but I can't do that."Isidore pushed my hand away, "I can't go see him. As soon as he sees me, he'll kill me immediately.""Isidore, I understand that you are scared. But if you give up accusing Alpha Galen, the war will not stop. Many giant and Winged Wolves are losing their lives in the war every second."I tried to persuade him."I know you must think I'm a coward. It's not that I'm afraid, but my accusations are completely useless.""My father wanted me to be the new Alpha on his deathbed because I'm an anti-war person like my father. We both want to keep a long-lasting peace with our neighbor, th
**Elizabeth's POV***By dawn, I had come up with a dozen options. I put them down on paper and summoned my maid to take me to the king.However, it was actually Prince Elroy at my summons."Good morning! Lady, may I have the honor of helping you?"He spoke playfully to me as soon as he entered."I want to see the king.""No problem, I'll take you there."Elroy opened his arms towards me.I ducked away from him, "No, no, that's not proper. I want a maid.""All right."Elroy dropped his hand in disappointment, "But before you go, you need to fulfill your promise.""What promise?"I was confused."A kiss, "Elroy pointed to his cheek, "Before I fought the warrior, you promised me a kiss if I won.""No, I didn't promise that. You said that yourself!"My eyes widened."Are you trying to renege? If you renege, I won't let you go out."Elroy stood in front of me and didn't let me leave."Stop it, Elroy, I have something very important to discuss with the king.""Fine. I'll allow you not to kiss me
**Elroy's POV***"Great! Give it to me now!"I reached for the necklace, but my father blocked my hand with his scepter."Wait, don't rush. I can lend it to Elizabeth, but it comes with a premise.""What's the premise?""The premise is that Elizabeth has to be our family. Do you understand what I mean, my son?"My heart began to beat faster, and my gut told me that my father was thinking the same thing I was thinking."You mean you want me to marry Elizabeth, right?"I asked, stumbling over my words."That's right!"My father tapped the ground with his scepter in delight."Once you marry Elizabeth, we'll be family. I can lend her the precious green crystal necklace, or even gift it to her. She can also stay in our grassland forever. It's a win-win situation."Listening to my father's depiction of a bright future, I actually didn't know what to say except to smirk. It seemed like my tongue wouldn't even move."I just heard the servant report that you two kissed on the road, right?"My fat
**Elizabeth's POV** * Everything had settled down, and we worked on reconstruction and search and rescue efforts in the aftermath of the disaster. Soon months passed. During this time, we lived mainly on the grassland. It is very spacious, can accommodate many people, and it is the main affected area. My mates and I alternate shifts to look after the baby. My son is very well-behaved, he loves Julian the most and smiles when he sees him, but he seems to be scared of Elroy and cries when he sees him. I think Elroy is so huge that it scares him. With the baby as a point of reference, I realized that in the space of a few months, Julian seemed to have grown a little taller, while Elroy seemed to have gotten smaller. I think the magic that stayed in the grassland and the valley is gone. Without the influence of magic, the giant wolves and the dwarf wolves all started to return to their original appearance. I found out about this long ago. When I left the forbidden valley and came
**Elizabeth's POV** * "Dylan! Where are you guys? Isidore! Louis! Elroy! Answer me! Where are you?" I searched for them in the rising waters, but couldn't find anyone. The rainstorm got heavier and heavier. The sky seemed to have been torn open by a crack. The rain poured down like a waterfall, and I couldn't even open my eyes. The sea was rising faster and faster. More and more people and animals fell into the water, screaming for help. "Help me! Save me!" "Save my son!" "Mom-" "My daughter!" The whole world has turned into a waterlogged hell. My ears were filled with the desperate wails of everyone on the verge of death. In contrast, the orange-tailed merman let out a gleeful laugh. "Hahahaha look at this wonderful scene. This world will become a wonderful utopia. From now on, only noble sea creatures can survive." "Let the storm come even harder!" He raised his scepter high, causing more dark clouds to tumble and converge overhead. "Elizabeth! Watch this! You are my be
**Elizabeth's POV***Seeing them throw the explosives into the sea, I told Isidore and Louis, "We'd better leave. Tell Brandon and the others what's going on over here first. See what they have planned."Then we three left quietly.After listening to our report, Brandon said after thinking, "The wisest option is to take advantage of the process of the fight between the merman and the Blood Moon pack. We secretly sneak into the bottom and take the treasure."Dylan suddenly interjected, "You guys go to the bottom of the sea to find the treasure. I'll stay alone on the beach to fight with the Blood Moon pack. As the former alpha of the sea, I should protect my people. I have not been a competent alpha of the sea for the past 10,000 years. They can betray me and hate me, but I cannot abandon them and hate them."It seems that Dylan has really reflected on his faults. He used not to care about hurting anyone except Isabella.Now he is willing to take responsibility for his people, in addi
**Elizabeth's POV***Gosh, Elroy actually spilled the secret I was trying to hide.All of us were shocked. Even the door to the room was pushed open, and the 5 men outside stared at me in shock.So they had been eavesdropping on the conversation in the room...Isidore's eyes widened, and he asked me, as if he suddenly realized the event, "Elizabeth, is he our son?"In fact, I still can't confirm whether the baby is Brandon's or Isidore's because the baby was born prematurely.Anyway, the baby's father was between the two of them.My eyes accidentally made contact with Brandon, who suddenly opened wide and looked at the baby in the crib."Elizabeth! This is our baby, isn't it?" Brandon asked loudly, and everyone looked at him, then turned to me.Damn, the scene got even more chaotic."I..." I stumbled over my words, "I don't know..."But instead of disappointing Isidore, my ambiguous answer brought a hopeful sparkle to his eyes."Look how much he looks like me."Isidore seems to have
**Elizabeth's POV***"Don't you fvcking think about possessing Elizabeth! If you even think about it again, I'll make you vampires extinct from this world!"Louis laughed out loud, "That's funny. I just like her blood. But the fact that you guys are so attached to her makes me start to get interested in her.""She must be extraordinary. I'll spend more time looking into what exactly makes her special.""Nuts! We won't let you harass Elizabeth if she doesn't want to see you!"I was touched.No one chose to sacrifice me for profit.I think they must have worked very hard to find me. I shouldn't have been so impatient.In fact, I didn't mind their noise. I just, didn't know how I was going to face them.They are both my mates. One of them is the father of my baby. And I don't even know who the father of the child is.I was really afraid they would be angry with me for that.But running away would not solve the problem."Caleb, can you come in the room for a minute? Just you come in." I
**Elizabeth's POV***"We are in your mind. From the moment you opened the crystal coffin, I knew it was fate that brought you to find me. Since then, I have been inside your body, slowly merging with your soul.""Now, what you see of me is the last trace of the soul belonging to Isabella. Soon, I will completely fuse with you. Isabella will disappear from this world, and you will become the complete Elizabeth."I couldn't take in such a large amount of information quickly. I recalled my past experiences while understanding what she said."So...that mysterious power that has been protecting my child, is it you?"I remembered that ever since I entered the sea, my belly would no longer be pierced by swords. I had never thought of the reason before, and now it sounded very much like Isabella was protecting me."Yes, it's me. In a sense, it is also my child."Isabella finished with a sudden sigh, "I don't have much time left. There are very many things that I can't tell you in detail. I c
**Elizabeth's POV***I was awakened by water from the hoses.As I opened my eyes, I found that I was thrown on the floor. Several women were surrounding me, flushing me with hoses."Oh my gosh she stinks! Where did she ever go?""Turn up the water and rinse her off. She stinks so bad I'm going to throw up.""Especially her hair. What's that slimy stuff? Ewww, rinse it off!"A jet of water rushed to the spot on my head where it hurt. I screamed out in pain."Stop! Stop!"No one paid any attention to me as they mercilessly flushed the wounds on my body with water until no blood came out.I was cold and lay on the ground, feeling like I was going to faint again.A man came up to me and pointed at me, and ordered the women.My ears were filled with water, and I couldn't hear what they were saying. I only vaguely heard words like "auction tonight," "don't let her die," "makeup," and so on.I tried to lift my eyelids, but lost consciousness.When I woke up again, I was sitting in a chair.
**Austin's POV***Francis didn't deny it, "Yes, I am. To be precise, I was one of the fire-covered monsters. I killed all the other fire-covered monsters in the Forbidden Valley except for me."Julian seemed deeply prejudiced and wary of him, "Did you hurt Elizabeth?""No. Elizabeth helped me learn to control fire. She let me know I wasn't a monster, I was a fire wolf. We became friends."Now we finally know what happened to Elizabeth after she was sent to the fire-covered monster.She really did perform a miracle." Where the hell is Elizabeth now?" We were all desperate to know the answer to that question.Merman, the only one on the plane who knew Elizabeth's location, slowly lifted his hand and pointed in one direction."I can feel that she took my scale with her in that direction..."All of us looked over in that direction.What a coincidence. This is where we originally wanted to go - the location of the Blood Moon pack and the vampires."Pilots on command, full speed ahead!"*
**Austin's POV***We were flying in a plane over the forbidden valley. Since we all knew the same girl, Elizabeth, we naturally talked about her.The Alpha of Poison Wolf, Caleb, used sign language to tell his sister, Carolina, what everyone said about Elizabeth.From Elizabeth's experiences, we learned more and more about her.No one was more shocked than I was.I'll never forget the first time I met Elizabeth. She was only eight years old and as weak as a fragile glass. She cried and begged me to help her.More than a decade has passed. She grew from a dummy who was bullied every day to a heroine who saved an entire pack and even an entire country.It was hard for me to connect the Elizabeth of my memory with the girl they were talking about.But all the facts forced me to accept it all.Elroy said Elizabeth had led the giant wolves to drive out the invaders and help them survive the crisis of losing their country.I, however, was seeking the help of the giant wolves.No wonder Eli
