**Elizabeth's POV**

Oh no! I had totally pissed him off!
I turned to run. Austin yanked me by the hair and dragged me into his arms.
"You want to run away after messing with me? Do you know the cost of pissing me off?"
Austin aimed the spoon at my eyes. It had touched my eyelashes.
"No, no..." I mouthed the word with silence.
Someone barged in just as I was closing my eyes in fear.
"So you are here! Elizabeth!" Brandon drunkenly pushed open the door, "I have been looking for you for a long time."
Brandon acted like he was completely blind to Austin as he handed me an empty bottle, "Go get me some booze."
"Get out of here, drunkard!" Austin shouted angrily at his brother.
"Oh Austin, you are also here," Brandon smirked and tug Austin's arm, "Come on, lend her to me for a while, it will not take too long."
Austin shrugged off Brandon's hand in annoyance, "can not you see I am punishing her?"
"I can SEE but I do not care. I want a drink now. I want her to buy me a drink right now." Brandon's face still held a drunken, goofy grin, but he exuded an intimidating aura.
It seemed that Brandon would fight Austin as soon as Austin said "no."
They have fought 15 times this month and destroyed 3 pack houses, with no winner so far.
Clearly fighting is not a wise choice.
"You drunken brute," Austin cursed lowly before releasing me.
I picked up Brandon's empty bottle and immediately ran out of Austin's room, leaving them both behind.
**Austin's POV**
*
Looking at the back of the fleeing bitch, I wanted to chase after her. But Brandon stood in my way.
"Enough, Austin."
"You are really not drunk." I said as I looked into Brandon's sober eyes.
"You are purposely protecting that pretend dumb bitch." I poked right through his disguise, "Why would you do that?"
Brandon did not admit it, "Nothing to do with her. I just enjoy being against you."
" Liar!" I yelled at him. I hated dishonest guys.
"Hey bro, do not you realize what an annoying guy you are? do not you realize You are always yelling to piss people off? I want to antagonize you as soon as I see your stupid face."
I angrily grabbed his collar, "Do you want to fight me again? I will beat your shit out!"
Brandon pushed my hand away, "Not today. I am not in that mood."
With that he turned right around and left. Well, if his intention was to mess with me, then he succeeded. I REALLY wanted to rip his head off immediately.
However, his wolf and my wolf are also twin brothers. Unlike the bad relationship between Brandon and me, the two wolves have a very strong bond with each other. That is why Brandon and I always fight to a draw. Our respective wolves did not want to hurt each other.
I clenched my fist and shouted at his back, "You know that bitch is acting like she can not talk, right? Why do not you expose her lies? She is teasing us! She is lying to everyone!"
"It is none of my business, and none of your business." He waved his hand and disappeared from my view.
He is damn annoying!
I hate Brandon, I hate Elizabeth, I hate those fucking slaves, I hate fucking everyone!
It must be Elizabeth who brought me misfortune. If I had not met her, I would not be who I am today! My eyes would not be hurt. I would not have realized that my father was a disgraceful, despicable bastard!
Eight years ago, I was lying in bed in a coma after my eye was injured. No one knew I had woken up, I just could not move because of the anesthetic. I clearly heard my father and the chief of the rogues arguing by my bedside.
So they knew each other! They were in cahoots!
My father wanted to possess the treasure and territory of the blue moon pack, so he arranged for the rogues to invade the blue moon pack on Elizabeth's birthday.
According to the original plan, he would appear after the members of the blue moon pack were killed and pretend to fight with rogues.
Once he had defeated and expelled the rogues, he was able to take over the blue moon pack and privately distribute half of the treasure to the chief of the rogues.
By doing so, he would not damage his reputation but would also be able to achieve his goal.
However, my father's plan went awry in the process of execution - I was mistakenly injured and my left eye was blinded.
My father was so angry that he wanted to break the verbal agreement reached before. He killed the chief of the rogues and took all the rogues captive, making them slaves of the black river pack.
After knowing all this, I was in great pain.
I could not believe it was true. My most respected and proud father turned out to be a greedy and despicable asshole.
And, my eyes were sacrificed because of his greed.
I hate him! I hate him! I hate my father!
My life was destroyed from this day on. Yet, there were worse things waiting for me.
I found out my mom was having an affair with my father's Beta.
I did not want to remember that disgusting scene they had in bed. I did not want to understand the reason why my mom cheated on my father either. I just remember the day my mom got down on her knees in tears and begged me not to tell the secret. My father would kill her if he found out.
I hated her! I hated my mother! I despised her, but I could not lose her!
So, I kept this disgusting secret until now.
Disgusting! I am the only one who is disgusted by this secret!
No one can understand my pain. No one is trustworthy. Even my wolf was teasing me.
It unexpectedly said that it vaguely felt mate bond in Elizabeth's body. That is ridiculous!
That mute does not have a wolf, she can not be my mate!
She is a curse. she is a jinx. she is the bane of my miserable life.
I hate her. I hate all of them!
**Elizabeth's POV** * I ran for a long, long time after leaving Austin's room, not stopping to exhale until I made sure Austin could not catch up to me. But my heart was still beating fast. This life sucks, and I hope it ends soon. How long do I have to put up with this? Two more months. I will declare war on black river pack the day I turn 18 and gain my wolf and strength. What if I still do not get my wolf on my 18th birthday? It is pretty simple. If I really am one of those unlucky guys who was born without a wolf, then I am completely desperate. A desperate girl will do even scarier and crazier things. Hopefully I can get through these two months without anything like today happening again. I need to stay away from Austin. Maybe next time I will not be so lucky to meet Brandon who just happened to come looking for me. Just thinking about Brandon made my emotions mixed. I will never forget the first impression Brandon left on me. In my memory, he was gentle, kind, handso
**Elizabeth's POV** * The teacher's growl once again surprised me out of my dream. This time, without waiting for an apology, the teacher pointed at the door and said, "Get out!" I sighed, grabbed my textbook and notebook and walked out of the classroom. To be honest, I really cherished the opportunity to go to school. But last night Abby asked me to catch mosquitoes for her. I only got a total of three hours of sleep. With my severe lack of sleep, it was really hard for me to stay awake during such a boring class. Can you believe the teacher was just teaching us addition and subtraction? I will be 18 soon, not 8. But we are still learning the elementary school curriculum so far. Our class is what is a so-called special class. Most of my classmates are werewolves with mental deficiencies, or mute like me, or deaf and dumb like Carolina. Carolina and I had previously studied in normal classes. However, out of jealousy, Abby asked Luna to put us in special classes. She said that
**Elizabeth's POV** * I protested silently over and over again, even though I could not make a sound, "NO! I AM NOT!" "Looks like dummy is not convinced," Abby smiled even more smugly when she saw my angry expression, "It seems she will not admit to stealing until we find incriminating evidence..." "Cindy! Lisa! Search her!" With Abby's command, the three of them started ripping my clothes. I suddenly realized what they were truly aiming to achieve. They wanted to undress me in front of everyone! They wanted to humiliate me by making me naked! They never wanted to find gold coins on me! I was struggling to protect my clothes from being taken off. But it was hard for me to stop their six hands alone. I turned my help-seeking gaze to the teacher, however, he just turned his head and pretended not to see anything. And the other onlookers had excited looks on their faces. They had no intention of helping me. They just wanted to get some entertainment out of me. I was completely d
**Austin's POV** * My wolf was in a constant state of restlessness. It had been acting very excited since the moment Elizabeth walked into the classroom. "Mate... .mate... I can feel our mate..." My wolf murmured. "Nonsense." I corrected it, "You must be out of your mind, you horny beast." "Mate. . mate... I can smell her scent. She is behind us..." It still persisted. Behind me was Brandon's seat. Now Elizabeth is sitting there. "I do not feel anything. No mate bond. No mate. STOP TALKING BULLSHIT." I whispered insults to it. After a few seconds, it became restless again. "I can feel it, Brandon's wolf is as excited as I am. It smelled the scent of mate too. It was so happy as to jump up and down." I fell silent. Brandon and I are twins. My wolf and Brandon's wolf are damn twins, too. The telepathy between their beasts was more acute than Brandon's and mine. I knew my wolf was not lying. It could sense Brandon's wolf's agitation. I could not help but watch Brandon's react
**Elizabeth's POV** * "Fire Wolf, a type of werewolf that almost only exists in legends. They are said to be covered in flames and can breathe fire. All in all, they are very bizarre. We can not confirm if this race really exists. But there are references to them in the literature." I quickly wrote down everything the teacher mentioned. I was almost fascinated by everything he said. I never knew that the world I lived in was so rich and diverse. I wished he would say more, but then the bell rang. I had to keep my notebook and leave. Even though I had all the knowledge in my head, I was very sad to leave this class behind. I don't know if I will have the chance to listen to the teacher's lessons in the future. "Remember not to be late tomorrow,"Brandon said suddenly, with his eyes closed. I nod my head. Did Brandon mean that I could come back tomorrow and take notes for him? I hope I understood correctly. I am already looking forward to tomorrow. **Abby's POV** * I wanna slas
**Elizabeth's POV** * The way Damien behaved made me feel a little better about him too. He was not one of those dudes who was in heat all the time. He seemed like the only person in the class besides me who was interested in knowledge. After class, he walked by Brandon's seat. To my surprise, he suddenly complimented me on my notebook, "Excellent handwriting!" This is the first time I have ever received a compliment. I did not know how to respond. He did not laugh at me for my dumbness, but smiled at me gently and made me feel warm. It seems that not everyone in the Circle Tower Pack is an asshole. As for Brandon, I have always wanted to have a serious talk with him sometime. I want to ask him if He is always helping me in secret. Unfortunately, Brandon is in a constant state of drunkenness. He was even drinking in class. I can not communicate with a drunk guy. I could only cherish this rare opportunity to sit in on a normal class and carefully wrote down every word the teac
**Elizabeth's POV***I waited for Brandon's rant and scolding, but he did not do it.He just fished a few books out of the drawer, tossed them to me, and went back to sleep.I took several deep breaths before I picked up the books. They were not textbooks. They were obviously checked out from the library.Not everyone has the right to enter the library. Because many books in the library are confidential.And the three books Brandon gave me were World Geography, Warrior Combat Skills, and Medicine Encyclopedia.My heart was so excited that it was about to pop out of my mouth.I quickly put the books into my book bag. I felt like I had a priceless treasure. "Thanks," I said in a very, very low voice.I swear I did not make a sound, but Austin glanced back at me.His unfriendly gaze scanned back and forth between Brandon and me, "Were you guys just talking?"I shook my head.Austin furrowed his brow and said in a threatening tone, "do not let me catch you pretending to be dumb and dece
**Elizabeth's POV***I froze in place, embarrassed and shocked, why had Brandon misunderstood my intentions?My mind went blank, I did not know what to do. The churned pulp from the orange juice fell from my head to my chest. I looked at the orange color that intruded into my vision, and I felt it was worse than blood."There must be some misunderstanding..." I tried to explain in sign language."Stop lying! Get the hell out of here! I do not want to see you!" Brandon interrupted my explanation as he grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the door."Get out of here! Bitch!"I noticed that a lot of people had gathered at the door to watch. They were all attracted by Brandon's yelling. They looked at my wretched state with mocking smiles on their faces.My tears mixed with the juice. I had been completely stunned. Brandon's reaction hurt me.I thought he treated me like a friend, but I did not realize he treated me like a bitch who tried to seduce him.Maybe he was not even deliberately tr
**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
