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
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.
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
Rose’spoint of view:It was a long way back to the Blue Lagoon Pack. I didn't know why Jack insisted that I go back.Despite my desire to see Andrea, I felt like I was wasting my time.When we arrived at the blue lagoon pack, it was already late at night. I finally understood why Jack insisted on bringing me back here. He just wanted to satisfy his sexual needs.As soon as he entered the room, he eagerly pulled me to the bed."Help me undress," said Jack with a hoarse voice. He would be dying to kiss me. Maybe he had repressed his desire for me in the car when we returned. A few more moments Later, he slipped his fingers into my panties and became serious."Don't do that…” Biting my lower lip, I tried to calm my breathing. I didn't want to have sex with Jack."Maybe I shouldn't let you go to college." Before my refusal, his eyes darkened and his face was threatening.I pursed my lips and remained silent. I had no choice but to unbutton his vest and shirt. His eyes were fixed on me whi
The next day, I woke up to find it was already noon. My sleep had been restless, leaving me sluggish and drained. Reaching across the bed, I felt the cool sheets beside me—Jack was gone, and from the temperature, he must have left hours ago.After lunch, I decided to visit Lydia’s house to see Andrea.Lately, Andrea had been growing fast. It had only been a week since I last saw her, but she already seemed bigger. Lydia told me something surprising—Andrea had a crush on a boy at school.Apparently, there was a boy who waited for her outside their house every day.“Andrea,” I teased, arching a brow, “what exactly is your relationship with this boy?”Her eyes widened as she quickly shook her head. “He’s just my friend! Lydia’s making a big deal out of nothing.”I chuckled, deciding not to press further. Andrea was smart—she understood our situation. None of this was permanent. We wouldn’t be staying here long, and forming attachments would only make things harder.After visiting Andrea,
On Sunday, Jack insisted on driving me to university.We had barely spoken in the last two days, and the atmosphere in the car was thick with tension. He only broke the silence when I reached for the door handle, about to step out.“Don’t forget what I told you, Rose. Stay away from other men.”His fingers tightened around my wrist, his grip firm but not painful. His voice was soft, almost gentle, but the warning beneath it was unmistakable.I lowered my gaze, nodding obediently. “Okay.”Jack let out a quiet sigh, running his fingers through my hair in approval before finally letting go.The Next DayAfter class, I headed to the university canteen. As I entered, a group of well-dressed girls passed by, chatting amongst themselves. In the middle of them, I spotted Lucy.Our eyes met for a brief moment before she quickly looked away, her expression uncomfortable. Ignoring me, she took a seat at another table, deliberately facing away.I frowned slightly. Lucy and I rarely saw each other
The wind howled outside the university, rattling the windows as I stepped into the café. The place was nearly empty—unsurprising, considering it was already past eleven at night.Ariel was sitting near the window, dressed in a white sweater. The soft yellow light above him cast a warm glow over his features, making him seem almost ethereal in the dimly lit space.I pulled off my thick coat, ordered a black coffee, and slid into the seat across from him. “Why did you call me here?”Ariel exhaled deeply before speaking. “First, I owe you an apology. I hired someone to investigate your life at the Blue Lagoon Pack without your permission.” His tone was calm, but firm. “I did it because I’m worried about you, Rose. I know what you’ve been through, and I can see that Jack still has control over you. You can’t live the rest of your life like this. Let me help you.”I stared down at my coffee, gripping the cup to steady my hands. Ariel’s words held no malice, no hidden agenda. He genuinely w
After turning down Ariel’s offer, I thanked him politely and left the café, hoping that would be the end of the conversation. I didn’t want him getting involved any further.When I returned to my dorm, I found Bianca sprawled across her bed in a revealing dress, the scent of alcohol lingering around her. She must have been at a party.“I thought you were staying in to study tonight. How did you end up at a party?” I asked, setting my coat on the hanger.Bianca groggily sat up, rubbing her eyes. “I wasn’t planning on going out, but my friend wouldn’t take no for an answer.”I settled onto the bed beside her, my curiosity piqued by something I had noticed earlier—the way Bianca and Marvin exchanged glances that day.“Do you know Marvin? The Beta of the Blue Lagoon Pack?” I asked.Bianca scoffed. “Yeah, I know him. Our families are pushing for an arranged marriage, but I want no part of it.” She sighed, leaning her head against my shoulder.For some reason, I couldn’t shake the feeling t
Aaron’s Point of ViewThe news of Jack’s disappearance must have spread through the Blue Lagoon Pack and the entire pack alliance by now. It was the perfect moment to strike. With their leader gone, they were vulnerable, and I intended to take full advantage of that.As soon as my army and I crossed into their territory, the Blue Lagoon Pack and their allies emerged from the forest, ready for battle. Wasting no time, I gave the order to attack. Gunfire rang out, shattering the eerie silence of the woods.To my surprise, Jack’s absence didn’t seem to have dampened their morale. The Blue Lagoon Pack and the alliance forces were just as disciplined and relentless as before.The alliance werewolves had positioned themselves as snipers, hidden behind the trees, while the Blue Lagoon wolves had shifted into their beast forms, engaging in fierce, close-range combat with my warriors. Their raw strength was undeniable.I couldn’t help but wonder—who was leading them now?Scanning the battlefie
Rose’s Point of ViewI gathered the soldiers of the Blue Lagoon Pack and brought the prisoner to the valley where Jack had vanished.There were clear signs of soil disturbance. A large section of the earth had cracked open, with broken soil scattered across the area, mixed with dead leaves and uprooted shrubs. The scene looked like chaos had struck.However, I couldn’t convince myself that an earthquake had caused it.The damage seemed too localized, affecting only a small area, while the surrounding landscape remained intact. For such a large-scale earthquake to happen without impacting the wider area seemed too improbable. Yet, having never experienced an actual earthquake, I couldn’t completely dismiss the possibility.I gave orders to the werewolves, and we began the search. Under my direction, we started digging where Jack had last been swallowed by the earth.As we worked, I struggled to keep my rising panic at bay. I refused to entertain the grim thought of Jack’s body lying cr
Rose’s Point of ViewI hadn’t expected Aaron to launch another attack so soon. There was something in his demeanor that screamed confidence, as though he believed victory was inevitable.I couldn’t afford to sit idly by while things unfolded. If the Wouri River Pack kept up their arrogant, relentless aggression, more werewolves would die in this prolonged war.I knew I had to act quickly. I needed to get Olivia’s number and find a way to make her see the truth. My plan was to inform her that Aaron had been the one to kill her father. Most of the Wouri River Pack had pledged their loyalty to Aaron, but Olivia couldn’t simply ignore the fact that Louis, her own father, had been murdered. No matter how much she cared for Aaron, I doubted she could accept that.I was preparing to put my plan into motion when the soldiers who had been on the battlefield began returning.It was clear from the state of them that the battle had been fierce. Many were injured, their faces pale and strained. I
Aaron’s Point of ViewOlivia hesitated, her grief-stricken eyes searching mine. She didn’t agree to my proposal right away, and I understood why. The loss of her father was still fresh—marriage was the last thing on her mind.I couldn’t push her too hard. If I did, she might start to suspect my true motives. Instead, I comforted her for a while, offering gentle reassurances before excusing myself. There were more pressing matters to handle.The Wouri River Pack had suffered heavy losses in the last battle. If I wanted to win this war, I couldn’t rely on brute force like Louis had. Jack, the Alpha of the Blue Lagoon Pack, wasn’t just strong—he was cunning. If I fought him head-on, I would only meet the same fate as my predecessor.That’s why I needed a different approach.I had long considered seeking help from Bennet, a powerful black wizard. His magic was feared by many, and with his aid, I wouldn’t need an army—I only needed to kill Jack. Once Jack was gone, the Blue Lagoon Pack wou
Aaron’s Point of ViewLouis’ lifeless body was slung over my motorcycle as I made my way back to the Wouri River Pack.The air in the pack was thick with fear and unease. After suffering two consecutive defeats, the once-unshakable warriors of the Wouri River Pack were on edge. No one could have imagined that their mighty and undefeated Alpha, Louis, would lose so decisively.Feigning panic, I burst into the hospital, carrying Louis’ blood-soaked body as if I were a man driven by desperation. My voice shook with urgency as I pleaded with the doctors to save him.In reality, I knew there was nothing left to save. Six bullets had torn through his vital organs in the forest. By the time I had hoisted him onto my motorcycle, he had already drawn his last breath.A group of doctors rushed over, their faces paling as they assessed the extent of his injuries.“How did Alpha Louis suffer such devastating wounds?” one of them stammered.My hands trembled, still slick with his blood, as I recou
Rose’s Point of ViewNews from the battlefield arrived swiftly.The Blue Lagoon Pack and its allies had once again driven the Wouri River Pack into retreat. But despite the victory, we had suffered heavy losses. The sheer number of reinforcements the Wouri River Pack had sent had taken a toll on our forces.Without hesitation, I rushed to the battlefield to tend to the wounded. The drive from our camp was short—barely ten minutes. As I neared the edge of the forest, movement in the distance caught my attention.Through the trees, I spotted Aaron sitting beside an older werewolf. My breath hitched when I realized who it was—Alpha Louis of the Wouri River Pack.I immediately pulled my car behind some bushes, careful not to reveal myself. Alone and unarmed, I had no intention of confronting them. Instead, I watched, hidden among the foliage.Aaron stood up, moving behind Louis with a calculated ease.Then, without hesitation, he pulled out a gun and fired.My eyes widened in shock.Louis
Aaron’s Point of ViewLouis wasted no time. Shortly after, one of his subordinates approached me with a message.“The Alpha wants to see you.”I nodded, already expecting this conversation. Straightening my posture, I followed him to Louis’ quarters.Inside, Louis was seated, his expression unreadable. But I knew him too well—behind that thin smile, there was always a scheme.“Alpha, what can I do for you?” I met his gaze briefly before bowing my head in respect.“Aaron, come here. I need to discuss something with you.” His voice was unusually cordial, but I knew better than to be deceived by his false warmth.“If there’s something you need, please say it, Alpha,” I replied smoothly, mirroring his smile with feigned innocence.Louis exhaled, his sharp eyes locking onto mine. “You know I’ve always treated you well. I took you in when you had nowhere to go, gave you a position of honor in this pack, and even allowed Olivia to be with you.” His tone was almost fatherly, as if he truly be
Aaron’s Point of ViewStanding outside the tent, I clenched my fists, barely containing my fury. I never expected Louis to agree to the marriage between his daughter and the son of the Green Kaeloo Pack’s Alpha.If that marriage took place, I would lose everything.I had worked tirelessly to reach my current position. I had fought, sacrificed, and clawed my way up from nothing. Now, with a single decision, Louis was ready to strip it all away.I forced myself to remain composed. Olivia was mine, and I would not accept losing her. It was clear that Louis had been swayed by the wealth and resources of the Green Kaeloo Pack. With their support, his chances of winning the war would increase significantly. To him, securing a powerful alliance through marriage was far more beneficial than allowing Olivia to stay with me—an ordinary wolf with no noble lineage.When Louis first welcomed me into his pack, it was because he valued my skills. He allowed my relationship with Olivia to continue be
Aaron’s Point of ViewAs soon as I left the battlefield, I set out to find the black wizard, Bennet. However, it had been years since we last had contact, and tracking him down was proving to be more difficult than I had anticipated.When I reached his old residence in the mountains, I found it completely abandoned. The villagers told me that he had moved away some time ago, but no one knew where he had gone.Frustrated and out of options, I had no choice but to return home.Nothing had gone as planned.Not only had I failed to locate Bennet, but the situation on the battlefield had also taken a sharp turn for the worse. The Wouri River Pack had suffered severe losses, with a significant number of soldiers dead or gravely wounded. Meanwhile, the Blue Lagoon Pack, despite their own casualties, had a remarkable advantage—advanced medical care. Their injured fighters were recovering at an astonishing rate and returning to battle far sooner than expected.Defeated, I made my way back to t
