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
The day I received the email, I called Jack to ask for his permission to go.“It’s an incredible opportunity,” I explained eagerly. “Our university has been invited to participate in an exchange program at Alphea Medical School, and I was selected. With your permission, I’d like to go.”I tried to keep my voice steady, but deep down, I was nervous. If Jack refused, he would still have control over my life.Jack hesitated. “They have exchange programs every semester. Can’t you just go next time?”“Maybe, but there’s no guarantee I’ll be chosen again.” I pushed my luck, hoping he’d understand how important this was to me.Silence. Then, finally, I heard him sigh.“I always end up feeling powerless when it comes to you… Fine. But you’d better call me when you get there.”I could hardly believe it. Jack had actually said yes.The Day of DepartureAt the airport, I waited with my classmates in the lounge. Heavy snowfall had delayed our flight, and the large windows showed nothing but a cur
A storm of emotions swirled inside me. I was deeply grateful for everything Ariel had done—how much time, effort, and risk he had taken to ensure Andrea and I could escape safely. He had even gone as far as sneaking my sister out from under Jack’s nose, something I knew was no small feat. Refusing to board the plane now would only let him down.And yet, doubt lingered.Jack was powerful, a born leader. Under his rule, the Blue Lagoon Pack had flourished, its future more promising than ever. He didn’t need me to succeed. So why was I hesitating? Why did it feel like leaving was the hardest decision of my life?My mind was filled with memories of him—of how our relationship had evolved from hostility to something far more complicated. I thought of the way he looked at me, the rare moments of tenderness that broke through his hardened exterior. But one day, that gaze would belong to someone else.Jack would move on. He would choose a new Luna, a woman who would stand beside him, bear his
Jack’s Point of ViewDarkness enveloped me as I slowly opened my eyes. The only sound was the distant rush of flowing water.I struggled to recall what had happened. I had followed Aaron into the valley when, without warning, the earth trembled violently. The ground beneath me collapsed, and for a fleeting moment, I was weightless, suspended in midair. Then, I plunged into an endless abyss, swallowed by the depths of the earth. The last thing I remembered was the suffocating weight of dirt and stone burying me alive.So why was I still breathing?With great effort, I pushed myself up, my muscles protesting in agony. Without hesitation, I shifted into my wolf form. Uriel’s keen vision was far superior to my human eyes, and in an instant, the pitch-black surroundings became clearer.I had fallen into a massive karst cave, its towering rock formations stretching high above me. By some miracle, I had escaped being buried alive.I exhaled sharply. Finding a way out was now my top priority.
Olivia’s Point of ViewA cold numbness spread through me, my body frozen in place as the weight of betrayal crushed me. No one could possibly understand the torment I felt in that moment. The truth had shattered my world, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake.I was drowning in grief, yet beneath the sorrow, an unrelenting fury burned inside me. Every part of me screamed for vengeance—I wanted to make Aaron suffer for what he had done. But I knew that acting on impulse would be reckless. I wasn’t strong enough to take him down alone, not yet.“We share the same goal,” Rose’s voice was calm but firm. “Aaron has to die, Olivia. If we work together, we can make it happen.”She paused before continuing, her tone laced with conviction. “The Blue Lagoon Pack wanted no part in this war, but Aaron forced our hand. If we eliminate him, we can finally put an end to this conflict. But first, we need to strip him of his power.”I clenched my fists, frustration coursing through me.“Aaron’s
Olivia’s Point of ViewI didn’t want to believe Rose. I wanted to dismiss her accusations as lies, but my father’s death still haunted me. I needed to know the truth.Clutching the USB drive tightly in my trembling hand, I replayed Rose’s determined words in my mind.The moment I returned to the Wouri River Pack, I locked myself in my room, took a deep breath, and inserted the drive into my laptop.A video began to play—a recording of a dense forest, the camera shifting as if someone was secretly filming from the bushes. My breath hitched when Aaron came into view.He moved toward my father, who sat unsuspectingly on a stone, his guard completely down. Without hesitation, Aaron pulled out a gun and aimed it at him.A muffled gunshot rang out. The weapon had been silenced. My father jerked forward, his eyes wide with shock before his body crumpled to the ground.Aaron didn’t stop. He fired again. And again.I watched in horror as he stepped closer, ensuring my father was truly dead bef
Olivia’s point of view:I had always thought that the happiest thing that could happen to me was to marry the person I loved. We would have a big wedding, during which I would be dressed in a luxurious and beautiful wedding dress. My father, who cherished me more than anything, would personally give my hand to my beloved prince, who would accompany me for the rest of my life. I would receive the sincere blessings of all the members of the pack, who wish me eternal happiness.At least, that was my expectations for my wedding. With these happy thoughts in mind, I accepted Aaron’s proposal.The reality turned out to be the opposite and disappointed me a lot. There was no time to hire a makeup artist or choose wedding dresses and jewellery during leisure. I had to wear a wedding dress bought in a hurry, which looked terribly good on me and very bad. There were no flowers or balloons, no beautiful and romantic atmosphere.Nothing happened as I imagined.I found that "loomy" was a good desc
Aaron’s Point of ViewThe rumors about my past with Rose spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the Wouri River Pack.It wasn’t long before Olivia came storming into my tent, her eyes burning with jealousy. I didn’t even need to ask—I already knew why she was here.“Aaron, why didn’t you tell me that the Luna of the Blue Lagoon Pack was your ex?” she demanded, her voice sharp. “I thought I was the only woman you’d ever loved.”I barely managed to hold back my irritation. Did she really think I’d waste my time explaining something so trivial? I had no interest in Olivia beyond what she could offer me. She wasn’t particularly beautiful or captivating, but she was the princess of the Wouri River Pack—my key to power.Forcing a smile, I softened my expression. “Yes, I was with Rose before,” I admitted, letting out a carefully measured sigh. “But I never loved her. She pursued me, not the other way around. Back then, I was nothing, and she was an Alpha’s daughter. How could I have
Rose’s Point of ViewAaron’s lies spread like wildfire across the battlefield, fueling vicious rumors within both the Blue Lagoon Pack and the allied forces. He focused on one particular truth—that we had once been together. And the more the rumor was repeated, the more people believed it.Some of the older werewolves, those who had lived in the Maroon Hill Pack, knew about my past with Aaron. Their knowledge only added fuel to the fire, making it harder for me to escape the shadow of my history. Soon, I found myself bombarded with questions from my own pack—questions filled with anger, doubt, and accusation.Their trust in me had been shaken.I could feel the shift in their attitudes. The warriors no longer followed my commands as readily as before. Whispers followed me everywhere, and I was met with cold, uncertain gazes.Desperate to put an end to the rumors, I called for an urgent meeting. I needed to set the record straight.But my efforts failed.The doubt in my warriors’ eyes r
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
