**Elizabeth's POV***"Yes, you can." My face was hot and I answered in a small voice.I didn't dare to look at Caleb's eyes after I said that, lowered my head and turned around to push the door open.**Austin's POV ***I was drinking water when I felt the mate bond.The water kettle fell to the ground. Instead of picking it up, I immediately stood up and looked around."Elizabeth!""Elizabeth!"Turning my head, Brandon and I met eye to eye. His reaction was exactly the same as mine. He also seemed to feel the mate bond with Elizabeth.Does this mean that Elizabeth is near us?But the feeling only existed for a second before it disappeared. It was as short as an illusion.If Brandon hadn't called out Elizabeth's name as well, I would have thought I was hallucinating from missing her to the extreme.Now I'm finally sure that Brandon and I are both Elizabeth's mates, but that doesn't matter anymore.Elizabeth has disappeared from our lives forever. I will never have the chance to reuni
**Elizabeth's POV***Sometimes my heart raced when I thought of Caleb. I felt like I could hear my wolf's voice. But each time I tried to carefully feel my wolf's presence, it completely disappeared again.Maybe it's the palpitations and tinnitus caused by my staying up late doing experiments. Time was running out and I had to race against time.Carolina tried very hard to play the role of my assistant. She keeps a close eye on everything but the experiment for me to keep me focused."Meow..."A young cat's cry came from under the window."Looks like there's a cat out there?" I said without looking up.I, out of the corner of my eye, saw Carolina walking toward the window, but I didn't care.I was staring intently at the changes in the petri dish until I heard a shrill cat cry.I raised my head and saw Carolina fall backwards to the ground. Her arm was oozing blood, and the cat that had scratched her had fled the window."Carolina!" I dropped everything I was holding and ran to Carol
**Elizabeth's POV***Without waiting for Jamie's reply, I immediately counted down, "5,4,3,2...""No! No! I'm telling you! It's in my necklace! My necklace contains the powder that can cure the infection. Only a little bit. That' s the only thing I have!"I noticed a small seashell necklace hanging around her neck. I took it off and found that the shell was openable. Inside it was pink medicine powder."Get off me. I've given you what you want. Don't disfigure me!"Instead of letting go of the whip right away, I bent over and said to Jamie, "You better not lie and cheat me. I'm going to try this powder. If it doesn't work, I will punish you in a very horrible way."I don't have a lot of experience with being a bully. But I grew up living with abuse. Those bad guys taught me a lot of ways to torture people.If Jamie tricked me, I wouldn't mind teaching her all the tormenting techniques I know, because she hurt my best friend Carolina.I ran out of the jail just in time to meet Beta,
**Elizabeth's POV***My heart was pierced by her from behind and I felt my whole body temperature drop to a minimum while my strength was completely drained.I could clearly feel Jamie pulling the knife out of my heart but was powerless to stop it.A stream of blood shot out of the bloody hole in my chest. It was at least a meter high.Blood splattered on the branch in front of me and dripped from the leaves to my head.Another sharp pain came from the heart.Jamie drew the knife and stabbed me in the heart again.My eyes dulled and I fell to my knees weakly. My body slowly slumped to the ground.Finally, I saw the face of Jamie, who had stabbed me. She was looking down at me with the expected mockery and smugness on her face."I already told you. I'll kill you! How dare you mess with me! How dare you whip me! How dare you threaten me with disfigurement! You ugly bastard! You deserve it!"Jamie stepped on my bleeding chest, proudly flaunting her victory.My life was draining fast wit
**Caleb's POV***I didn't hesitate to follow everyone out. I can't rest. My heart was pounding out of my mouth with anxiety. I had to find Elizabeth!Carolina rushed up and tugged on my sleeve, "Take me with you! I'm going to find Elizabeth too!"I didn't object. I knew it would be torture for Carolina to leave her waiting in the room.My Elizabeth, please be safe. All along the way, I prayed to the moon goddess. However, all I got was bad news from my subordinates."Alpha, we have found a body up ahead!""Take me there now!"When I saw the charred corpse, burned beyond recognition, my legs acted like they were filled with cement, and I couldn't move a step forward.I was afraid they would tell me it was Elizabeth."Did you guys ever destroy the scene? Was there only one body?" I heard Beta inquire in an anxious voice."We came to inform Alpha as soon as we saw the corpse. We didn't move anything. Yes, there was only one body.""But look at the marks on the ground. There's obviously
**Beta's POV***I was furious. But the priest's reply was as I expected. He was old enough that he wasn't afraid to die. He would not be easily threatened by me.But I have a way of making him threatened by me."Old geezer, I know you're not afraid to die. But aren't you afraid to see all the poison wolves die in front of your eyes? To tell you the truth, the two infections that appeared in the pack were caused by my poisoning. I am the only one who has the antidote!""Traitor! Traitor!" The priest's eyes widened in shock. His beard was trembling with anger."The prophesied destined savior you were counting on has already been killed by me. Now only I can save those infected poison wolves. If you don't agree with what I just requested, I will kill you immediately and then let the entire pack of wolves be infected. By then I will take out the antidote and they will surely accept me as the new Alpha. It will just take a little longer. It won't change the outcome."The priest's lips qui
**Caleb's POV***Looking at my former close friend and right-hand man, I suddenly felt very unfamiliar with him. He didn't look anything like the Beta I knew."I want to know where Elizabeth is, can you make an exception and help me?"I asked in a tentative manner. He had been my father's right-hand man and then my most trusted Beta, and I didn't believe he would change completely."No. Elizabeth is dead. There is absolutely no point in using the Mirror of Witchcraft to see where she is."After rejecting me, he added, "Leave the Priest's residence at once. For the safety of the Priest, ordinary people are not qualified to come here at will."I stared into his eyes for a long time, and there was not a trace of friendship or loyalty in them. I vaguely realized that I probably never knew the real him."As ordered, Alpha,"I said sarcastically, and led Carolina away.Carolina did not want to leave. She was extremely angry."How could the Beta treat you like that? He's so rude and mean! Why
**Elizabeth's POV***Was he going to start eating me?He could easily snap my head off in one bite.I screamed as I stood up and ran. After running a few steps, I fell.I got up and kept running despite the pain."Where are you going, my doll?"The beast was chasing me from behind. I desperately pulled away, but the beast only needed a few jumps to quickly close in on me."Why are you running, my doll?" His voice even appeared in my ear. I could feel the burning breath spewing out of him as he spoke.I fell to the ground as I didn't notice the stones under my feet. The tiny gravel abraded my skin, and blood seeped into the dirt." Stay away! Don't come near me, you fucking monster!" I picked up a dry branch and wielded it as a sword.But it was only when I spoke that I realized my teeth were chattering uncontrollably.I struggled to utter a sentence, while the sound of my teeth clacking was louder than the sound of my voice. My words had no deterrent effect on the huge wolf.If only
**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
