**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***Over the next few days, I heard that the war had been suspended and that Alpha Galen had offered to negotiate with the king.To my surprise, the king invited me to join him at the negotiation table.At the negotiation table, Alpha Galen finally revealed his true purpose. He no longer mentioned avenging his brother but asked the king to divide half of the grassland for the winged wolves to live in, and they would never start a war again.The king, of course, would not be foolish to agree. We have already grasped the weakness of the winged wolf. We both held each other in check. If the war continues, the winged wolves will also suffer very serious losses. Now the competition is who can bear the loss more."If you are not willing to give up territory to atone for your sins, then we will not stop our attack on the grassland!"" Suit yourself. You'd better not build your castle too close to the palace. Otherwise, my warriors will throw stones as soon as they see a lar
**Elizabeth's POV***"No! No! Elizabeth can't be a spy! She's my mate!" Elroy rushed to me and opened his arms wide to protect me."Elroy! Get back here! She's a winged wolf! She fooled us!""No! She's a giant wolf! She's my mate! I trust her! I won't let you hurt her!"I always thought Elroy just treated me like a fun pet or toy. I couldn't believe Elroy would defy his father's orders and turn his sword on his own kind for me.He believed in me so much that he was willing to take on the whole world.I was so moved that I shed tears. But my tears were also boiling hot. It evaporated at the moment it came out of my eyes."Elizabeth! Run! Run!" Elroy shouted back at me.I looked deeply at him, then fled, clutching the green crystal.Maybe I should drop the Green Crystal. But my intuition told me that this green crystal had a close connection with my wolf. It might have something to do with my origin.If I put down the necklace now, the power I have gained may disappear. They will not g
**Elroy's POV***My father and I I were out of breath by the time we climbed to the top floor of the library.My father glared at me, "I haven't been to the top floor in centuries. If you hadn't brought Elizabeth back to the grassland, I wouldn't have had to suffer this at all.""Dad, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. Elizabeth is not...""Shut up! You had better pray that those ancient books have something written inside about the Green Crystal. Otherwise, you're a sinner among the giant wolves!"I closed my mouth. I did feel scared, even though I trusted Elizabeth. If she left with the green crystal from then on, all the giant wolves would lose their power and a thousand-year life span.In silence, my father and I took a kerosene lamp and searched the top floor of the library for books related to the Green Crystal.I found nothing, but my father seemed to have found something. After he finished reading the text in the ancient book, he dropped the kerosene lamp on the flo
**Elizabeth's POV***"That Elizabeth is on the side of the Giant Wolf. She helped Giant Wolf come up with many schemes against us. I guarantee that they found someone to pretend to be Isidore. This is one of the ploys against us!"Galen began to accuse me and ordered, "Kill them!""Galen, you took my Alpha's place against my father's will. You also tried to kill me. And framed the crime on the giant wolf. You did all of this to satisfy your greed and ambition! You caused so many Winged Wolf companions to die in the war. You are the biggest sinner of all!"Isidore finally accused Galen of his crimes in public, calling out, "We can no longer be deceived by Galen! We winged wolves have been living in peace with the giant wolves for thousands of years, and we have never lost our loved ones in a war until Galen took the initiative to start it!"All the winged wolf warriors had hesitant looks on their faces. The old Alpha was dead, and his two sons were accusing each other. Whose orders sh
**Elizabeth's POV***"Yes."I tried to speak, and this time I could control myself not breathing out the fire."This is an Alpha exclusive treasure. It grows big when you ride it. It flies far faster than all winged wolves. You won't be able to catch up."I gave up on the idea of continuing the chase. I had already cut off half of his wings. He was more seriously injured than Isidore. According to what Isidore said, a winged wolf who lost his wings should be a loser. He would no longer be able to threaten Isidore."Elizabeth, thank you for your help. There is no way I could possibly win this battle without you. You are so amazing. I never knew you were so good before!" Isidore said in excitement."I'm glad that the Winged Wolves will be run by you. I believe you will bring peace to everyone."Isidore nodded, then declared loudly to everyone, "Galen has fled to escape punishment. Although he has not ad
**Elroy's POV** * Will she just leave and never come back? Is she still alive? Is she safe now? Are the people around her nice to her? Does she have new clothes to wear in her new place? Every day I look up at the sky, hoping to see her behind some cloud. She has undertaken this selected tester's mission. The moon goddess will protect her safely through danger, right? After looking at the sky for a few more days, I finally saw Elizabeth's figure behind the clouds. I rubbed my eyes. I thought I was hallucinating. But when I opened my eyes again, I found that Elizabeth had not disappeared. She was even closer to me. She has a pair of huge silver wings, each feather shining in the sunlight. She is so beautiful, even more beautiful than I have ever seen her before. She is like the incarnation of the moon goddess, noble and elegantly stepping on the
**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
