Rose’s Point of View“I… I want to find Armin,” Mika said suddenly, gripping my hand tightly. Her eyes were filled with desperate hope. “You said she might be in the Blue Lagoon Pack. Can we go look for her right now?”Her eagerness was palpable, as if she couldn’t bear to wait even a second longer to be reunited with her daughter.I squeezed her frail hands gently, trying to calm her. “No, Mika. You need to rest and complete your treatment first. Once you’re strong enough, you can leave the hospital and begin your search. I promise I’ll help you,” I reassured her in a soothing voice.Mika had made progress, but she wasn’t fully recovered yet. Rushing off in search of Armin now would only put her at risk. She needed to heal first. The search for her daughter could wait just a little longer.After leaving the hospital, I returned to the villa to check on Jack. The treatment I had given Uriel the day before had worked well, and I planned to continue with another session today.Jack had
Rose’s Point of ViewThe next morning, the entire university was blanketed in white. Snowflakes fell steadily, clinging to students’ coats and hair as they hurried into the lecture hall. Amid the bustling crowd, I spotted Ariel making his way toward me, his expression a mix of excitement and nervousness.“Rose! Have you heard about the ball happening at the university tonight?” he asked, his smile tentative.I vaguely remembered Bianca mentioning it in the dorm, but I hadn’t given it much thought. Parties and dancing were the least of my concerns. My mind was already burdened with too many problems.“I have,” I replied, licking my dry lips. “Why do you ask?”Ariel hesitated for a moment before speaking. “I’d like to invite you. Everyone’s going, and I think it would do you good to socialize. You spend too much time cooped up in the dorm. Parties and… well, new experiences should be part of your university life, too.”A small, hopeful smile played on his lips, but his eyes betrayed his
Jack’s Point of ViewEvery weekend, Rose returned to treat Uriel. After several consecutive weeks of care, his condition had improved significantly. He was no longer uncontrollably furious, and he behaved much more rationally when I let him out.“Can you stop letting me out so often? All this running around is exhausting,” Uriel grumbled, stretching lazily. He would much rather spend the day sleeping in peace.I smirked. “Haven’t you always demanded that I release you?”Uriel huffed, clearly forgetting how restless and temperamental he had been before.“I don’t want to see Rose anymore,” he muttered. “She always strokes my ears and belly like I’m some kind of pet. Honestly, I don’t see what you like about her. Sure, she has a pretty face and—well—certain assets, but other than that…” He trailed off with a teasing glint in his eyes.I raised an eyebrow. “If I remember correctly, you love curling up on her lap whenever she visits. And I distinctly recall you throwing a fit once just bec
Rose’s Point of ViewAs Jack’s partner, my wolf, Cora, could naturally sense Uriel’s state. So when Jack claimed that Uriel hadn’t fully recovered, I couldn’t bring myself to believe him.“He’s such a terrible liar. Look at Uriel, pretending to limp like that. It’s pathetic,” Cora scoffed in my mind, making me roll my eyes. I didn’t hesitate to cut through their little performance.I knew Jack was stalling—using Uriel’s supposed “relapse” as an excuse to keep me from leaving. Part of me didn’t want to go either, but staying would only make things harder. Dragging out the inevitable would deepen the ache that already throbbed in my chest.Jack shifted back into his human form, his movements slower than usual. He sank onto the sofa, elbows resting on his knees, gaze fixed on the floor. Silence stretched between us, broken only by the steady tick of the clock.Taking a breath to steady myself, I sat across from him. “Jack, you promised you’d let me go when Uriel was healed.” My voice was
Jack’s Point of ViewThe following week passed faster than I expected. I helped Rose pack her belongings and move to the university. Andrea’s transfer was finalized during the same period. It felt like time had slipped through my fingers—like I was watching everything I held dear slip away.On the day of Rose’s departure, a crowd of werewolves gathered at the pack’s border to say goodbye. Rose looked genuinely surprised—astonished that she’d formed bonds in the Blue Lagoon Pack despite everything.“Don’t forget me after you move, alright?” Samuel said, his usual gruffness softened by emotion. “I’m a cranky old man. Might call you one day just to yell at you.” He handed her a worn notebook. “I gathered important surgical notes for you. Hope it helps.”“Thank you, Samuel,” Rose murmured, pressing her hands against the notebook, visibly touched.I hadn’t expected her to show such vulnerability. Tears welled in her eyes as she bid farewell to the wolves she’d helped these past months. One
Jack’s Point of ViewThe guard returned with a woman who looked to be in her forties. She was thin and pale, her body frail from illness. Dark shadows circled her eyes, and her hands trembled slightly. I remembered seeing her at the hospital a few times—this must be Mika, one of Rose’s patients.“Alpha, my name is Mika,” she said, bowing her head respectfully. “Mr. Samuel authorized me to leave the hospital today. I wanted to thank you for your hospitality and for taking care of me during my recovery. I’ll be leaving the Blue Lagoon Pack now.”Her voice was soft, words halting with the effort it took to speak. The weakness in her posture wasn’t surprising for someone recovering from a serious illness.Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have paid her much attention—she wasn’t a member of my pack, and her safety wouldn’t have concerned me. But things had changed. I had changed. And now, something about her made me hesitate.One glance at her told me she wouldn’t last long outside ou
Rose’s Point of ViewWhat bound Jack and me was supposed to be over. I thought I would finally feel free—at peace, even—but instead, a hollow emptiness lingered. I wanted a life without complications, yet the sadness weighed heavier than I’d expected.Back in my dormitory, I sat by the window, watching the trees sway under the night breeze. My mind wandered restlessly, unable to settle. Maybe a distraction would help. I thought about talking to Bianca—her carefree attitude often lifted my spirits—but glancing around the empty room reminded me that she was probably at one of her usual Saturday night parties.Letting out a soft sigh, I locked the door and collapsed onto my bed. Sleep. That should help. I closed my eyes, willing the heaviness in my chest to dissolve.But then my phone rang.“Hello?” I mumbled, eyes still shut. Who’s calling at this hour?Jack’s voice came through the speaker. “Rose, it’s me. Come down—I’m outside your dorm.”My eyes flew open. My fingers clenched around
Rose’s Point of View“What do you want from me, Jack?” I demanded, pushing him away to put some distance between us. We were still too close—just a few centimeters apart—and his intoxicating scent clouded my thoughts.“You’ll find out soon enough,” he said, voice laced with mystery.He pulled back, his touch lingering for a moment before he withdrew completely. With surprising tenderness, he straightened my shirt, buttoning it for me, and carefully hung my bra on the edge of the bed. His lips brushed against my cheek as he whispered, “I miss you so much, baby.”I opened my mouth to respond—whether to scold him or something else, I didn’t know—but he didn’t give me the chance. Grabbing my hand, he tugged me out of the dormitory and led me to his car. The ride was a blur of questions I couldn’t voice, anxiety churning in my stomach.When we arrived at the Blue Lagoon Pack, I expected anything but what came next. Jack didn’t slow down until we reached his villa. Inside, Mika was waiting.
Olivia’s point of view:Now that I had seen through him, Jared got up from the couch angrily and shouted:"What do you mean?""Do you seriously think I don't know what you're thinking, Jared? You know better than anyone why you came to see me today." I sniffed, took the cup of coffee on the table and put a few pieces of sugar in it. The cubes melted slowly while I stirred the coffee with a spoon.My answer left Jared even more embarrassed and restless. He gave me a disdainful look and tried to reason: "Don't be so ungrateful and arrogant, Olivia. Do you seriously think you can be an Alpha woman for a long time?In the past, everyone was afraid of the Wouri River Pack because of your father. Now that Louis is dead, all those who have been removed by him before will naturally not let things happen. Many packs want your territory and your resources. Although the Green Pine Pack's army is a little weak, it's more than enough to help you. But do you dare to refuse me? I'm afraid that the W
Olivia’s point of view:As I listened to Jared's hasty explanation with a frown, I noticed that there was something wrong with his choice of words.Although he said he wanted to help me lighten my burdens, his condescending perception of women was evident in the way he spoke. He sounded as if he was a hero or a knight in sparkling armour coming to save me, the damsel in distress. It was degrading.He was far too arrogant for my taste.Even if I wanted to get married, I couldn't find an ounce of sincerity from him. Not to mention that I was not looking for a husband at the moment. I just wanted to focus only on my homework as an Alpha pack. "Do you honestly think it is necessary for an Alpha woman to get married? That this is more important than anything else in this world? Let's say I married you. When that would happen, you would gain authority over my pack and all the werewolves would cling to each of your words. The way I see it, this marriage would be much more beneficial to you
Olivia’s point of view:The next day, my phone rang when I was having my usual breakfast. To my surprise, it was from Alpha Bill. I didn't expect him to call me so early in the morning.Why did this old bastard call me unexpectedly? Was he asking for a fight? Well, it was perfectly good! I myself wanted to have one.I took my phone, ready to talk to him.However, something even more unexpected happened."Hello, Olivia, sorry to bother you so soon. Regarding our discussion yesterday, I am ready to accept the changes to the contract you propose. I was a little reckless yesterday and I didn't think so. Honestly, now that I've slept on it, I think the conditions you've proposed for our cooperation are excellent." Bill's way of speaking was, to put it simply, extremely humble and polite. There was no trace of the arrogance he showed yesterday.Suffice it to say that I was stunned, quite stunned by his sudden change of attitude. It was strange, and I didn't understand why he was acting like
Olivia’s point of view:After becoming the Alpha of the Wouri RiverPack, I mentally prepared myself to face the challenges ahead. Because I was an Alpha woman, my problems and difficulties were much more important than those of an Alpha man. It was exhausting, but it was in my expectations.Rose was concerned about my well-being.Being the kind person she was, she kept learning about my current situation and seemed eager to help me as she could. I told her everything, without sparing any detail."Soon after I took office, I received many complaints in my file. We may seem to live in peace right now, but in truth, there are werewolves who don't accept me like their Alpha. They openly turned against me several times during our meetings. They suggested making other male werewolves the Alpha.Some even went so far as to sow trouble in the pack! They spread ugly rumours that the pack was in trouble because of my mismanagement. They wanted to force me to resign. For now, I have only managed
Rose's point of view:Shortly after I was discharged from the hospital, Zoe went to the villa for a visit. After Bennet kidnapped Alan, she had taken active measures to find Alan's whereabouts."You heard from other wizards yesterday that they had seen Bennet appear with his men several times in the north. They may be in the north at the moment, but as you can guess, this place is a little too far. Do you want to go?"Zoe looked very anxious when she asked us for our opinion. She was probably deeply worried about Alan."I also want to bring Alan back, and I want to help Jack regain his memory as soon as possible. But I don't know if we can succeed on this trip. After all, Bennet is very powerful."Of course, I wanted to venture into the north. The choice was obvious. I turned to look at Jack, who was leaning against the sofa. He had the whole pack to manage, so it would probably be difficult for him to leave the pack behind."So here we go. I'll let Marvin manage the pack while I'm aw
Jack’s point of view:When I saw Rose crying, helpless, my heart became unbearably heavy. My breathing got stuck in my throat and I was overwhelmed by a feeling of depression and pain.When I discovered that I had mistreated her before, I couldn't stop the excuses that sprung out of my lips. "I'm sorry. I was wrong in the past. I'll catch up in the future." I did not dare to think about how I had behaved before. Generally, I was cruel and indifferent to my enemies. I had to subject Rose to many monstrous atrocities because I hated Baldwin so much. Even if she didn't give me any details, I could guess.Rose gripped my shirt firmly and buried her face in my chest. I didn't know how to console her. I could only hold her firmly in my arms and caress her soft hair.It was only when she exhausted her tears and dozed off that I looked down and carefully studied her face. Her hair was glued to her face because of the effort to cry so abundantly. I placed a lock of her hair behind her ear. The
Rose's point of view:Jack's warm body and tempting smell were still the same as before. Although he no longer remembered me, at least he did not resist my advances. I comfortably wrapped my arms around his neck and finally felt a feeling of comfort invade me."We can slow things down. I'll find a way to give you back my memory," I whispered in a low voice, leaning on his shoulder. Our overheated bodies clung tightly.Jack was always nervous and stiff.After a long time, he put his arm around my waist and put his cheek against my ear.The duvet was particularly warm and cosy. We could hear the sound of the breeze blowing and the branches rustling outside the window. His low and deep voice rumbled in my ears. "It's okay, let's take our time."We were barely separated by a few centimetres. I gave him a teasing look, asking him: "So, do you have time to listen to our past stories now? The secrets we shared?" At least he couldn't use his work as an excuse to avoid talking to me now.Jack
Jack’s point of view:The truth was that I had feelings for Rose, but I didn't know how to express them. I didn't even know how to behave with her. She felt like a total stranger to me now.When Rose lay down in the same bed as me, I was so nervous that my whole body tensed. I didn't know where to put my hands and feet. I didn't really have a love experience with women."Hey, buddy! Come on. Embrace her and kiss her passionately. Since Rose took the initiative, you should take the opportunity and act now!" Uriel, on the other hand, was very excited and kept screaming in my head."Shut up, Uriel. That's not how a gentleman behaves. We don't really know each other yet. I don't think Rose will approve of my advances." I closed my eyes and tried my best to stop thinking about her sleeping next to me. Because the more it played in my mind, the stronger my impulse and desire became."You sleep in the same bed as your companion. Why are you so stiff on the edge of the bed? Do you still consi
Rose’s point of view:Since I discovered that Jack had lost part of his memory, I no longer knew how to get along with him.I still lived with him in the Blue Lagoon Pack. He had now returned to the villa from his office building.However, he always stayed away from me. Even when he didn't have work to do, he didn't talk to me. Sometimes he just sat on the couch and read quietly, treating me as if I didn't exist."Is there anything you would like to know about your past?” I sat hesitantly next to Jack, hugging a cushion.I desperately wanted to talk to him and kiss him intimately as before. Now he was as cold and indifferent as a stranger, which painfully squeezed my heart. I was afraid that he would never remember me for the rest of his life and that he would fall in love with another woman in the future.Jack's forehead rested in his palm and his elbow leaned against the armrest of the sofa as he raised his head and looked at me. His eyes were empty. As if they were a bottomless ab
