**Elizabeth's POV***"Don't you dare come any closer!"With everyone in a state of panic, their former Alpha, Caleb, stepped to the front of the crowd."Stop giving cruel orders in the Alpha's name. You don't deserve to be an Alpha! Elizabeth has told me everything. You tried to kill her after she developed the antidote to cure the infectious disease because you were the one who caused the infectious disease! You don't even want anyone to recover their health!"Everyone looked at their new Alpha in shock, and he, seemingly realizing something, looked up at me."You, you're Elizabeth... No! That's impossible! She's dead!"I stepped out from behind the pot filled with medicinal soup and looked at the startled and dismayed Beta."I'm sorry to disappoint you. I am not dead. I am the destined savior arranged by the Moon Goddess, and I am destined to stand here and expose your scheming.""Everyone, please listen, every word I say next is the truth. If I lie, I am willing to be punished by
**Brandon's POV***"Here you are at last. So you all know that already. Yeah, I'm the one who destroyed the Black River pack. I don't regret doing it, and I didn't do anything wrong. Come, avenge your father and your people, as I have done." said Elizabeth coldly.Elizabeth actually thought we were here to take revenge on her. That saddened us more than anything she could say.I'd rather she pretended to be dumb like she used to be.To my surprise, Austin yelled and then lunged toward Elizabeth.Elizabeth swung her claws at Austin's face, but he didn't dodge or attack her. All he did was help Elizabeth knock away an arrow aimed at her.Blood dripped down Elizabeth's claws, and she looked shocked at the claw marks she had left around Austin's eyes."Did you just save me? Why? I thought you were coming to kill me..."Austin shook off the blood that had dripped into his eyes, then turned around to protect Elizabeth behind his back."You were lovelier when you weren't talking. Shut up. I
**Elizabeth's POV*** "Poison Wolf's wedding ceremony included the gift of rings to each other. I knew you didn't know how to weave rings, so I wove two at first. I have taken this male ring as a gift from you. Please take good care of this ring for me in the future."I suddenly realized that Caleb intended to trade his life for my chance to escape."No! No! I'm leaving with you, Caleb! We're leaving together!""We can't leave together surrounded by hundreds of werewolves. I have to stay. Elizabeth, do as I say, run, take the women and children with you. Take up your responsibilities as Luna."Those words took me back to that horrible day eight years ago when my parents all told me to run, too.Since then, I have lost them forever.Tears pooled in my eyes, and I clutched Caleb's hand, unwilling to let go."Don't worry about life after you leave the Poison Mist Forest. Let me tell you a secret: the ancestors of the Poison Wolf have buried a precious deposit outside the Poison Mist For
**Elizabeth's POV***"Elizabeth, run!"With Caleb's signal, I led a group of people to escape immediately.The Timber Wolves tried to stop us, but Caleb secured an escape route for us.Before I left, I looked back with teary eyes and saw Caleb with his bloodied subordinates being surrounded by the Timber Wolves and fighting.I let out a sad cry and turned around to escape.On our way to escape, a tree suddenly fell down and stopped us.The children in the group cried out in fear. They pointed to the sky and said, "Monster!"I looked up just in time to see a huge, overwhelming wolf jump above me.Was it Elroy?No! It was bigger than Elroy! And not just one, but two, three, four!Four enormous wolves jumped over our heads one after another. Each time they hit a tree, they would make the trunk break right off.Why were there so many giant wolves in the Poison Mist Forest?I didn't have time to think about it. More and more trees were falling down. To prevent the women and children from
**Elizabeth's POV***"Don't worry, they're my friends. I brought them to help you." I looked at Caleb, who was covered in blood, and my heart ached so much that tears were falling down my face.I pointed to the one leading the Timber Wolves and said, "Kill that damned bastard!""The two standing next to that one, should we kill them together?" Elroy asked. He was pointing at Austin and Brandon.I hesitated for a few seconds, but finally couldn't make the cruel decision."Just drive them out of the Poison Mist Forest. Don't kill them.""OK! Do it!"With Elroy's command, the four giant wolves pounced toward the Timber Wolves.They were so huge. Those arrows and swords were no threat to them at all. They could kick a dozen Timber Wolves with a single kick. A single slap could kill several of them.This was the first time I saw giant wolves displaying their fighting power. I finally realized why my teacher told us to run away when we saw them. Hundreds of Timber Wolves were no match for
**Elizabeth's POV***Elroy and I were intercepted at the exit of the Poison Mist Forest.Four Giant Wolves surrounded us from four directions. The Giant Wolf standing in front of Elroy persuaded him, "Prince, don't run around anymore. The outside world is dangerous, and only the grassland is suitable for us Giant Wolves to survive.""Nonsense!" Elroy was disdainful, "You are lying to me. I saw with my own eyes that a few of your Giant Wolves could defeat hundreds of Timber Wolves. The outside world is not dangerous to me.""It's not me who should feel scared, but those weak werewolves of other races!" Elroy held his head up proudly."Prince, it seems that I have to tell you the secret about our Giant Wolf before you agree to go back with us.""What secret?""Except for the Giant Wolf, the life expectancy of other werewolves is only one hundred years. Aren't you curious why?""Why?" Elroy's curiosity was really piqued. So was I."Because the grassland we live in has been blessed by th
**Elizabeth's POV***The maids were whispering about me."Can such a tiny baby be raised? She looks so pitiful. My heart is going to melt.""Look at her tiny hands. Oh, it's so small and delicate, like a work of art. I can't believe she's actually alive.""Look at her big beautiful eyes. She's blinking. Oh my gosh, is she really not a pretty doll?""Thumbelina, would you like a little water?" A maid asked me with a cup as big as a bucket.I hid under the quilt in fear. The hands of any of them were bigger than my head. I didn't dare let them touch me. I was afraid they would accidentally yank my arm off.Just as I was hiding in the corner of the bed in fear, I heard a familiar voice."Is my doll awake? Where is she?" Elroy arrived.Several maids walked up to greet him right away, "Prince, Thumbelina has woken up from her sleep. But she looked so scared, she didn't say a word.""Never mind. She will not be afraid when she sees me," Elroy said confidently."Come on, my doll. did you sl
**Elizabeth's POV***"Then try on this blue dress. It must fit you well." Elroy held out another dress with a large hemline to me.I refused, without hesitation, "No. I can't walk in it.""It doesn't matter. I can let you sit on my shoulder. You don't have to walk on your own," Elroy suggested.See, they certainly weren't going to let me walk by myself."I refuse." I said as I reached for the loose nightgown, "I only wear clothes that won't interfere with my daily life."Elroy let out a disappointed sigh, then said, "Fine. Then let me help you wear it. Is that okay?""Of course not! I told you before I'm a grown female. You can't look at me naked!""That's a pity."I felt happy to see him disappointed. Maybe he would stop indulging in this boring dress-up game if I spoiled his fun several times.With the help of maids, I ducked into the fitting room and changed into my dress.The new dress was nice, with a mild grassy scent on it, and I really liked that.As I pushed open the door in
