**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***That night, I was awakened from my stupor by burning pain. The fire, however, was not the fire set by beta, but a flame of spontaneous ignition from my body.Strangely enough, the ordinary flames ignited by the alcohol seemed to be so afraid of my flame of spontaneous ignition that they could not burn me. Only my own flames could harm me.At that time, I clearly felt my skin wrapped in heat. However, my inner bones seemed to be hotter than my skin. My bone marrow flowed through my bones like lava.A familiar pain... I experienced a similar pain the night I got my wolf on my eighteenth birthday...The bones made a crunching sound like twigs breaking. They spun around under my skin in the opposite direction, forcing me into a four-legged position.I roared and ran up with my body full of flames, leaving Jamie's corpse burning alone.What was left of my sanity made me run in the direction of the only river in the Poison Mist Forest.I don't know why I can still run
**Elizabeth's POV***"I think there may be some misunderstanding between us. I'm timber wolf. I'm not a giant wolf.""Timber wolf?" Elroy sniffed close to me, then shook his head, " That' s impossible. You can't be timber wolf, I would never mistake the odor of my kind. You are a giant wolf, you are my kind. Lying is bad behavior.""A good doll should not lie. If you lie next time, I will punish you. I will spank you."I didn't dare to argue with him because of his " punishment". It's hard to get an arrogant teenager to accept something he doesn't want to accept, especially when the teenager is taller and has a bigger fist than you.Elroy is a minor 150-year-old giant wolf, which I can understand as the equivalent of a 15-year-old boy, a naughty, mischievous, and arrogant bad boy."Well, I'm 80 years old. You're right." I didn't want to waste my time arguing. I had more important things to do.I was ready to leave the place, but Elroy wouldn't let me."Hey, where are you going? You s
**Brandon's POV***"I have waited for you all for a long time. My friends. Come on in." The man entertains us with enthusiasm.Austin and I weren't going to be any less defensive of him just because he was acting warm. We both know that he is a scary guy who can sacrifice his clansmen for power.We must be careful of traps when working with such a dangerous guy."You should be thirsty, come and drink some water."We weren't stupid enough to drink from a stranger, except for Abby, who sat down and drank the water the man gave her before we could stop her and confidently asked for some food.Austin and I both despaired at Abby's stupidity. Sooner or later, she would die from her stupidity."That's enough. Step aside and don't waste time, Abby," Austin said as he shooed Abby from her seat."Sir, I think you must have something very important to tell us. Let's skip some of the trivia and get right to the point.""Yes, I indeed cannot wait to talk to you about the important matters. I am
**Brandon's POV***"Come here, please." Alpha waved at me, and I walked to the back of the mountain.There was a cave on the back of the mountain with a stone door covering the entrance. The stone door had several gears of different sizes on it, with a keyhole in the center. It seemed that the only way to open the door was to use the key to turn the gears.I watched Alpha take out the key, but he did not insert it into the keyhole straight away."Brandon, I've shown my sincerity, don't you think you should show yours too?" Alpha asked with a smile.I sensed a threat in his smile."Sorry, what do you mean?" I pretended to be confused and my hand slowly touched the dagger at my waist."I showed you the treasure. Shouldn't you show me the antidote you brought?""The antidote is at my brother Austin's. He will give you the antidote after we go down with the treasure."Alpha laughed, "You told me so honestly, aren't you afraid I'll have someone rob your brother's antidote and not give you
**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
