Jack’sPOV:
Once the dinner party had begun, the Alphas exchanged pleasantries with the other noble werewolves of the pack. I was never one to enjoy these trivial gatherings and festivities. The sound of all those people chattering felt like white noise to my ears.
"I never thought that Jack would be able to overthrow that fiend one day." The fiend they were talking about was Baldwin. Most of the werewolves here hated him because of his invasion.
"The Blue Lagoon Pack is becoming stronger under the admirable leadership of Alpha Jack, and Hilary has also generously donated her services to our cause. Will she become our Luna?"
"It's very Iikely that she will become the Luna of the Blue Lagoon Pack. After all, Hilary has helped the pack a lot. I also heard that she once saved Alpha Jack’s life. He must be grateful to her."
"To be honest, we all have to thank Alpha Jack for helping us get rid of that vicious tyrant, James. If not for Jack's bravery, we wouldn't be here enjoying such a good life."
“Yes, indeed. Baldwin violated many packs and many of us have been persecuted by him. I hate that wicked beast to the core."
I understood their feelings and convictions.
After all, I had also been mistreated and tortured by James. It would take a lot of effort to restore my pack to its former glory. While they were chatting happily, the slaves in my pack were escorted out. These slaves, both men and women, were former members of Baldwin's pack.
I could still recognize a few faces. I didn't think I would ever forget them even if they turned into ash because they were the guards who had mercilessly abused me in the dungeon. I asked the Alphas of the other packs to take these slaves back with them because I knew that they would find new ways to torture them.
To be honest, I couldn't care less what happened to them. When the Alphas were done picking their choice of slaves, everyone noticed that Alpha Loren hadn't chosen a slave yet. The rest of the werewolves stared at Loren, wondering why he hadn't picked his slave from the lot.
Confused, I stopped in my tracks, and suddenly, Loren walked up to me and said, "Jack, I was told that we could pick and choose whichever slaves we wanted, but where's Rose? Isn't she a slave?" The sound of astonished gasps filled the room.
"Rose? Is he talking about James’ daughter?"
"I didn't know that the Blue Lagoon Pack had enslaved her!"
I frowned. After all. how could I let Loren take Rose away? Who would I vent my anger on if I allowed him to take Rose back with him? Just as I was about to refuse Loren, Hilary gestured at the servant and said, "Bring Rose here.”
I had no idea why or since when the werewolves of the Blud Lagoon Pack started to follow Hilary's orders. However, before I could even say anything, Rose was summoned to the hall. I decided to remain silent because a part of me wanted to see how Rose would handle the situation.
Rose was presented before everyone. She was wearing a revealing dress, fit for dancing, and it seemed as though she was about to be taken to the stage. When she walked past me, the fragrance of chocolate and vanilla filled my nose. I felt an irresistible urge to hold her.
"Mate!" Uriel howled. "She is our mate!"
To my astonishment, Rose was to be my mate! I could hardly conceal the shock in my heart.
Why would Moon Goddess appoint the enemy's daughter as my mate?
Rose walked past me obliviously, not knowing that I was her mate. Why did Moon Goddess appoint Diana as my mate? Would it be permissible to torture my mate? How could this be? She was the daughter of my enemy- the person I hated the most! If I were to let her go, I would feel guilty for all the werewolves who were brutally killed by James Baldwin Dawson.
Rose's point of view.I did not expect that my worst apprehensions would come true so quickly. I was cooking when several male werewolves suddenly broke in to try to take me."Where are you taiming me? "My voice trembled with fear as I looked at them with terror."Shut up, slave! We take you to a place where you deserve to be. You will probably become the slave of another clan," screamed one of them furiously, and their eyes showed the discontent they had towards me.I finally realised that I was going to be put up for sale so that the Alphas of the other clans could choose.I was forced to put on a type of revealing clothes that I had never worn before, let alone in public. I felt embarrassed and humiliated, but at that moment, I had no choice but to obey their orders.As soon as I entered the room, I saw Jack staring at me. Even if I hadn't seen him for a number of days, the look he put on me was somewhat strange. There was a mix of shock, confusion and astonishment in his eyes.I h
Jack's point of view.After the birthday party, everyone came home. Since Uriel had discovered that Rose was my companion, he was constantly agitated."Jack, I would never have imagined that our enemy's daughter could be your companion. But it doesn't matter. You can reject Rose when she came of age and thus continue to mistreat her. You also have the possibility to kill her directly without rejecting her. ”Uriel was right. Rose was not yet twenty three years old. She didn't know I was her companion. If I wanted to martyr her, it was by far the best thing to do. Being mistreated by her partner would be the most unbearable experience she has ever lived. However, I didn't know why I was in doubt."Jack, what do you think of my proposal?" asked Uriel, always trying to persuade me."I don't think it's great. I want to torture Rose gradually. Otherwise, how could I evacuate all my grudges?” I replied."What are you talking about? Why don't you hurry to seize such a great opportunity? You
Rose’s point of view.I took a hundred steps on the road and my heart was beating so hard that I had a hard time standing. A gentle breeze kissed my face and I ended up calming down by caressing my burning cheeks with cold hands. I couldn't believe what happened a few moments ago, Jack asked me to kiss him and I did, because I was desperate to see Andrea.Oh My God! I kissed Jack! I had to take deep breaths to calm down. I didn't think I would feel this way because of him.He was a demon, and for him, I was nothing more than a toy for his amusement and thirst for revenge. I knew he was lying to me, but I couldn't do anything other than resign myself to my fate."Rose!" I rubbed my eyes and wiped the tears on my face when I heard someone calling me from behind. When I turned around, I was surprised to see that it was Lydia."What can I do for you, Lydia?” Although I speak calmly, I could hardly stop my hands from shaking. I realised that Lydia only looked for me when she had a message
Hilary's point of view.Rose, this bitch! How dare she!All these male werewolves in the banquet room kept fainting in front of her as if they had forgotten that she was our enemy's daughter.What was good about this bitch? She managed to win their hearts only because of her beauty, how ridiculous!Fortunately, Jack was not like these lustful and bad-tasteful werewolves. The Jack I knew was a rational person, who would not have fallen in love with a cheeky seductress like Rose.Once dinner was over, I went out to look for him, very quickly, I found him standing behind a pillar in the corridor. Delighted, I went to him, but while I approached him, I noticed that he was not alone.When he turned to the side, I couldn't believe it when I saw who it was, this bitch of Rose! Why was she there with him?"Come here and kiss me." My whole world stopped when I heard what Jack had told her. Why did he want her to kiss him? Was he trying to punish her? I started to get dizzy and I didn't underst
Rose’s point of view:I couldn't control my joy when I saw Andrea, I was so relieved to see that she was safe and sound in this house. After all, I couldn't sleep during the last few days thinking that she was suffering elsewhere. Lydia was a good-hearted woman, and I was confident and less worried knowing that she was staying with Grace.The next morning, I went to the construction site on time and continued to transport cement with the other werewolves. Jack had just established a new pack, which is why we were busy building a fortress. Werewolves and slaves worked there every day.The werewolves I worked with always looked at me with resentment.“Diana, don't be sare! Go bring cement here," Told Logan, the site manager, slamming his whip violently.Since he hadn't managed to rape me last time, he had become even meaner to me, because he couldn't help but feel humiliated looking at me. But, I did nothing but stay quiet and put up with them, because I knew that things could have been
Jack’s point of view:It was dinner time, but Rose wasn't there. Believing that she had escaped once again, I tried to locate her, I found that she was locked in the dark room that was used to torture slaves. My heart tightened with anxiety to discover it.Once I arrived in front of the dark room, I immediately saw Rose, who was on her back. Her skin was covered with wounds, blood flowed down her back. Rose bit her lower lip strongly, her eyes shone with stubbornness and inflexibility. She had not forgotten that she was born a princess, even if enslaved, she always refused to ask for mercy.I was heartbroken to see her like this, So I rushed to them to end this torture. "What's going on here? ", I roared. "What are you doing here, Alpha?Did you pick me up? Would you like to have dinner with me? ", Hilary Asked.Then she threw the whip at the werewolf who was next to her, and warmly hugged me.The werewolf grabbed the whip and wanted to continue whipping Rose. Realising it, I pushed H
Jack’s point of view:Uriel had been wickedly tortured in the past. He roared in my head, like crazy. All I could do was try to control his emotions. He was violent and bloodthirsty, if I didn't control him, I was afraid of becoming as crazy as he was."I'm with Andrea, Alpha, can we come in? ", asked Lydia, knocking on the door. I asked her to take Andrea to the hospital so she could see Rose. “Come in," I replied. Then I expressly moved away from Rose, to put distance between us.Once in, Andrea began to cry loudly, probably because she saw Rose's condition."You're mean, why did you whip my sister so wildly? She is so kind, we have never hurt the werewolves of your pack! ", screamed Andrea, wiping her tears. With red eyes, she grabbed a corner of my shirt."I'm not the one who whipped your sister," I spat as my impatience began to take over me.Their father had murdered my whole family, he had detained me and the members of my pack as a slave. He had been as cruel as we were, howe
Rose’s point of view:Jack heard my roar, but he seemed indifferent. He did nothing but give me a furious look before adjusting his clothes and leaving. His attitude scared me, I knew he was angry with me, even if he hadn't shown it.Andrea and Lydia helped me get up. “Are you all right? ", I asked Andrea. I wiped her tears, my heart hurt when I saw her like that. Jack was a cruel bastard! How could he intimidate a defenceless child like Andrea?"The villain is gone, calm down, my darling, I'm so happy to see you again! ", I comforted her. I then had her tight in my arms and the sadness and distress of the last few days have gradually dissipated.All I had to do was put up with this situation a little longer, until Jack lowered his guard, which would allow me to escape with Andrea. I didn't care that they label us as wolves without a pack, at least that we can start a new life elsewhere where no one would know us."Why are you crying, Andrea? Were you hurt?”, I asked while examining
Ariel’s Point of ViewThe first time I visited the Maroon Hill Pack, I was only eight years old. My father had told me we needed to establish good relations with them because they were a powerful pack. At the time, we were weak and in desperate need of allies.That was when I first met Rose.Before that, I had encountered many princesses from other packs—most of them spoiled, arrogant, and dismissive of weaker packs like ours. I assumed Rose would be the same.But I was wrong.Rose was different. She was kind, cheerful, and full of life. She had a natural instinct to care for those more fragile than herself. Whenever we played together, I would pretend to get hurt just to see her rush to comfort me. She always fell for it, her concern genuine and warm.Like me, Rose wasn’t fond of the rigid rules and traditions of our packs. She had a love for medical books and often told me that she would one day attend the best medical university.I thought we would always be friends.But then the M
Jack closed the distance between us in an instant, pulling me into his arms. The tension in the air was suffocating.“She’s not going with you. Leave,” he said coldly, his grip tightening on my shoulder. His anger was unmistakable.Ariel, however, remained composed, a polite smile still on his face, though there was a sharp edge to his tone.“And who exactly are you to make that decision for her?” he asked.Jack’s expression darkened. “I’m her boyfriend,” he declared, his icy gaze locked onto Ariel before shoving me into the back seat of his car.I turned my head, catching a glimpse of Ariel’s expression. Disappointment flickered in his eyes as he frowned at me.“What are you looking at, Rose?” Jack’s voice was low and warning, snapping my attention back to him. He rolled up the window and pulled me against him, his arm locked firmly around my waist.I dropped my gaze, refusing to engage. He was acting like a possessive child, and I had no patience for it.The car remained stationary.
Rose’s Point of View“Why did you quit so suddenly? Was the workload too much?” Bianca asked, toothbrush in hand. She looked genuinely surprised when I told her I had resigned.I had been so determined to earn my own money when I took the job.“No, it was for personal reasons,” I replied flatly, lying back on the bed with little enthusiasm.Sensing my lack of interest, Bianca didn’t press further.The next day, Ariel reappeared.We had just finished our morning classes and were having lunch in the university cafeteria when he joined us, setting his tray down beside me.“Why did you quit? I didn’t see you at the restaurant today,” he asked, flashing his usual bright smile. Ariel had always had an infectious energy, a stark contrast to Jack’s cold and distant demeanor. Even when we were children, no matter how much I teased or upset him, he would wipe his tears away and bounce back with that same cheerful grin.“I just didn’t feel like working there anymore,” I said, stirring my soup ab
Rose’s Point of ViewUniversity gave me a fleeting taste of freedom. I had always dreamed of living on campus, and though I had managed to break away physically, I knew I was still trapped under Jack’s control. No matter how much distance I put between us, I never forgot that I didn’t belong to the Blue Lagoon Pack. The only thing that kept me going was my hatred for that place—revenge had become the purpose of my life.Determined to carve out some independence, I secretly took a part-time job at a restaurant near the university. I worked four hours a day, and lunch was included. Most importantly, the money I earned was mine alone. I could save it, spend it however I wanted, and Jack would have no way of tracking it. If I used his credit card, he’d see every transaction, and that would make it impossible for me to escape his grasp in the future.Ariel often came to the restaurant while I was working. I wasn’t sure when he had developed such an obsession with hamburgers. As far back as
Classes began the next day, and our professor was an elegant middle-aged woman who carried herself with quiet authority.I focused on the lecture, taking careful notes, but at some point, I glanced to my side and noticed a young man sitting next to me. He had striking black eyes and golden blonde hair that shimmered under the classroom lights—bright, almost like the California sun.There was something familiar about him.I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had seen him before. It wasn’t just an excuse to steal glances—I was certain I knew him from somewhere.Throughout the class, I found myself sneaking quick looks in his direction, trying to place where I had met him before.Bianca, who had been watching me the whole time, leaned in with a smirk. “So, I guess he’s your type?” she teased, winking.I nearly choked on my own breath. “What? No! What are you even talking about? I was just trying to remember where I’ve seen him before.”Before Bianca could tease me further, the blonde guy
Rose’s Point of ViewThe new semester had finally begun, and with it, my chance to leave the Blue Lagoon Pack behind.I had looked forward to this moment for so long, but Jack had insisted on taking me and Lucy to the university himself. I had tried to refuse—I didn’t want to trouble him. He could have easily sent one of his subordinates to drive us instead.But, as always, Jack was persistent.Even when we arrived at the university, he insisted on carrying my luggage. The sight of an Alpha hauling the bags of a mere slave was unsettling, to say the least. It made me uncomfortable. This wasn’t how things were supposed to be.At the entrance of my dormitory building, Jack pulled out a phone and handed it to me.“Keep this with you at all times. I want you to stay in touch with me every day.” His voice was firm, leaving no room for argument.I hesitated before replying. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. With classes and assignments, I might not have time to talk all the time.”I didn’t
Jack’s Point of ViewSnow fell steadily outside, blanketing the streets in white. After the party, Rose and I returned to the villa together, while Lucy agreed to take Andrea home.For some reason, I had never liked Lucy. Something about her unsettled me. Why had she deliberately inserted herself between Rose and me at the party? It felt intentional, as if she was trying to keep us apart.I glanced at Rose, searching for something to say. “The snowfall is heavy this year.”She sat by the car window, her gaze fixed on the wintry landscape outside. She looked peaceful, lost in thought, completely uninterested in conversation.“Yeah, it’s beautiful,” she murmured, but there was no warmth in her voice.It had been days since we’d had a real conversation.When we arrived at the villa, Rose barely looked at me. She kept her head down, making a beeline for the stairs. Before she could escape, I reached for her arm and gently stopped her, pressing a black credit card into her palm.“This is f
Rose’s Point of ViewThe Goddess of the Moon must have heard my prayers. The exam results were finally published, and I had passed all my tests with honors.As if the universe was aligning just for me, my admission letter from the University of Howard arrived soon after. It was a dream come true—I had always wanted to study there, just like Lucy. She was well-known for her expertise in surgery, and I had always admired her dedication.Bursting with excitement, I couldn’t wait to share the news with her.“Lucy! I got accepted!”Back when we were students, we used to talk endlessly about going to university together, meeting new people, and maybe even finding love along the way. Now, that dream was finally becoming a reality. My hands trembled with excitement as I held the letter.“That’s amazing!” Lucy beamed, taking the letter from my hands and hugging me tightly. “We have to celebrate! I’m throwing you a party.”Without wasting any time, Lucy invited Andrea and me to her apartment af
Rose’s Point of ViewFrom the moment I refused Jack’s offer to make me his Luna, everything between us shifted. The air grew heavier, laced with tension and unspoken words. Every time our paths crossed, I felt an awkward pull, like the weight of something unresolved lingering just beneath the surface.I’d been avoiding Jack for two days, unable to face him without the sting of embarrassment tightening my chest. How was I supposed to look him in the eyes after turning him down? After all we’d been through, I didn’t even know how to act around him anymore.Today, the Blue Lagoon Pack received an enormous influx of money and supplies from the Black Basin Pack—a result of Jack’s latest victory. The hospital was flooded with new equipment, medicines, and resources, and I was assigned, along with a few other doctors, to help with the inventory.Everyone buzzed with excitement, voices filled with plans for the celebration party scheduled for the evening. Even the doctors couldn’t stop talkin
