Rose’s Point of ViewReturning to campus, I entered my dormitory and immediately noticed Bianca’s absence. Hours passed, and by midnight, she still hadn’t returned. Normally, she would call if she planned to stay out, but tonight, there was nothing—no message, no missed call.Uneasy, I grabbed my phone and dialed her number.Loud music and raucous laughter filled the background as soon as she answered.“Huh? What are you saying, Rose? Speak up—I can’t hear you!” Bianca’s voice was slurred, her words stumbling over themselves. She sounded drunk.“Where are you right now?” I asked again, my concern growing.“I’m at Charles de Gaulle Bar on West Street! Dancing with Carlos’ friends—come join us!” she giggled, oblivious to my worry.Before I could respond, vulgar voices cut through the phone.“Hey baby, how about a striptease?”“Gotta get this bitch’s clothes off first, ha-ha!”“Damn, I want her on her knees.”A chill ran down my spine. My grip on the phone tightened.“Bianca, are you ins
Since meeting Carlos, my days have been a whirlwind of reckless adventures. He had seemed like the perfect companion—someone who could bring every fantasy of mine to life. I truly believed he was my best friend, the one person who understood me completely. But as the weeks passed, I began to see a different side of him, one I had ignored for too long.At first, I dismissed my doubts, convincing myself that I was imagining things. But the truth was undeniable: Carlos was not the man I thought he was.He had promised we would leave this city behind, escape to a place where no one knew us. I had believed him so completely that I even ended my engagement, thinking we would start a new life together. But Carlos never followed through. Every time I brought it up, he would soothe me with sweet words, making me believe in his empty promises all over again.Determined to build a future with him, I suggested he change jobs. Working as a bartender was never a long-term solution. I was even willi
Bianca’s point of viewWhat?I couldn’t believe what I had just heard.Carlos had the audacity to suggest I sleep with his friends—as if I were some object to be passed around. His words hit me like ice-cold water, jolting me into instant sobriety. I stared at him, my chest tightening with disbelief and disgust.“You bastard! What do you think I am?” My voice trembled with rage as I shot to my feet. “How dare you say that to me?”The illusion I had built around him shattered in an instant. I had been blind, foolish enough to believe he was different from the lowlifes he surrounded himself with. I had convinced myself that if he changed his lifestyle, things would get better. But now, I saw the truth—Carlos was no better than the thugs my parents had warned me about.They had been right all along.Carlos was not a good man. He was a monster.I shook my head, my body rigid with fear. I had to leave. Now.But the moment I took a step back, Carlos lunged.“Where the hell do you think you’
Bianca’s Point of ViewMarvin drove me away from West Street, his hands steady on the wheel as the city slowly woke up around us. The once-dark sky was beginning to lighten, and more cars filled the road.I turned my head to glance at him. The dim glow of streetlights flickered across his sharp features, highlighting the tense set of his jaw. His expression was unreadable—his lips pressed into a firm line, his focus locked on the road ahead.“Are you feeling any better? Don’t worry… You’re safe now.”Marvin must have noticed me staring because he turned slightly, his voice softer than before.The fear still clung to me, refusing to fade. A short while ago, I had been utterly terrified—more than I had ever been in my life.Carlos was a lost cause. A thug who would never change. I had been naïve to think otherwise, to believe that love could fix someone like him. How foolish I had been.I let out a shaky breath, tightening Marvin’s coat around me. Staring out the window, I struggled to
Rose’s Point of ViewMarvin drove us back to the university, but the entire ride, I couldn’t help but notice Bianca sneaking glances at him through the rearview mirror.It wasn’t surprising. After all, she had probably developed a crush on him ever since he saved her.“Marvin, what are you doing this weekend?” I asked casually, breaking the silence. “I bought two movie tickets for a theater just outside campus, but I won’t be able to go because of all my homework. Do you want to take Bianca instead?”I figured this was the perfect excuse for them to spend time together and get to know each other. Bianca certainly didn’t seem opposed to the idea.“Movie tickets?” Marvin glanced at me before shaking his head. “Luna, if you don’t need them, I can help you sell them to someone else. Things are hectic at work, and I don’t think I’ll have any free time. Besides, I’m sure Bianca has a lot of assignments to catch up on too.”I stifled a sigh. Sometimes, Marvin could be as dull as stagnant wat
Rose’s Point of View“Do you have a plan in mind?” I asked, settling beside Jack and watching his thoughtful expression. I was certain he had already figured out his next move.Jack turned to me with a soft smile, his gaze warm and tender. Ever since his wolf had recovered, he had become more open, more affectionate.“I have a feeling the Wouri River Pack will target the Blue Lagoon Pack next, now that they’ve taken over the smaller surrounding packs. So, I’ve decided to help them.”“That’s a smart move,” I said, nodding in agreement. “When are you heading to the front lines?”Jack always looked at the bigger picture. By assisting the Blue Lagoon Pack, he wasn’t just helping an ally—he was securing his own pack’s safety. With their support, the smaller packs had a better chance of survival.“Tonight,” he murmured, wrapping his arms around me. I knew he hated leaving my side.I also knew he wouldn’t be back anytime soon.I had heard whispers about the Wouri River Pack since childhood.
Bianca’s Point of ViewReturning to university marked the end of everything I had with Carlos. I threw away the punk clothes and jewelry, wiped off the heavy makeup, and let go of the wild hair colors I once thought were the height of style.I was never meant for a life of chaos and recklessness.Focusing on my studies and stepping away from parties brought me a sense of stability I hadn’t felt in a long time. It felt good. It felt right.But just a week later, Carlos forced his way back into my life.That night, his voice echoed from outside my dormitory, calling my name like nothing had ever happened.I used to find his tattoos and piercings thrilling—an exciting contrast to my world. Now, they looked grotesque, a sick reminder of my past mistakes. I recoiled at the sight of him. How had I ever fallen for someone like him?“Who the hell does he think he is? Want me to take care of him for you?”Rose had just returned from her pack visit, dropping her bag as she walked toward the win
Bianca’s Point of ViewCarlos never left me alone. No matter how many times I rejected him, he refused to accept it. I must have been blind to ever think I loved him.“If you refuse our bond, you’ll never find another mate either!” I shouted at him, my voice laced with frustration.Carlos scoffed, his grin infuriatingly smug. “Are you serious, Bianca?” he sneered. “I don’t need a fated mate. I can be with any she-wolf I want. But you? You’re not like me. You need someone loyal—your one true love. That’s why it was so easy to trap you. You’ll never find another mate. You’ll die alone.”My hands clenched into fists. The urge to wrap them around his throat was overwhelming.But no matter how much I despised him, I couldn’t force him to leave me alone. He thrived on tormenting me, taking pleasure in my helplessness.As I stood there seething, the sharp sound of a car door slamming shut caught my attention. I turned toward the source and froze.Marvin was walking toward us.His strides wer
Bennet’s point of view:I ran in the direction I was coming from.Alan was just a child. He couldn't go far in such a short time.Indeed, I spotted a silhouette fleeing in the forest in front of me after searching for a while. I immediately used my ability to teleport to catch up with him.Alan was so terrified that he stumbled back when he saw me appear. I could understand that he was afraid and hated me now.My face was a mask of rage as I approached him with measured steps."It's not funny for you to test my limits over and over again. Alan, you'd better behave yourself."Then I grabbed his hand and started to walk to the farm.Alan tried to free himself from my grip and said in an innocent and furious voice.“Let go of me!”I tightened my grip on him and said with disdain: "Make your age. Come back docilely with me.""What you did is horrible. I won't help you anymore." Alan continued his desperate struggle as I pulled him forward. His shoes left long marks in the ground.I though
Bennet’s point of view:I bought a farm in the north to use as a temporary prison for wizards who resisted me. I couldn't kill them at the moment, since Alan was with me. Thus, I had no choice but to lock them in the farm to prevent their escape. For more security, I put a magic board around the farm.After Alan found out that I had killed someone, he gradually became depressed. He didn't want to go out with me and stayed locked in the farm all day.Initially, I was convinced that Alan did not have the courage to disobey me. But one night, I could feel that the magical network I had set up was slowly disappearing. Immediately, I got out of bed and ran to the farm. Someone had broken the magical network I used to imprison the wizards! All the wizards were busy rushing out of the farm, their cheers for their freedom echoing in the air. Before I could catch them, they disappeared right in front of me using the magic of teleportation.Alan was there, watching them run away with a smile on
Bennet’s point of view:I dragged Alan with me to the north, where the wizards were much more powerful than those in the south. If I could gather enough people to join me, I could soon wage a war.Alan and I stayed in a small northern town. In order to attract more powerful wizards, I often participated in local meetings in the north.One day, I arrived at an ordinary tavern, filled with the aroma of roast chicken and strong alcohol.The wizards of the north liked to show their power more than the wizards of the south. At that time, several ordinary wizards were competing to see who was the most powerful. However, what they showed were the most basic attack curses that did not even deserve my attention."Good good good. Isn't it Bennet? Why did you come to such a remote place?" One of the wizards recognised me standing in the crowd and approached me with a sarcastic salute."I'm just passing by for a quick look.”I did my best to control my disgust. I had no interest in exchanging wor
Rose’s point of view:For the moment, Jack and I have stayed in the official house of Olivia’s pack. Zoe, on the other hand, followed the wizards of the north every day to inquire about news or updates. She then came back to tell us about the fruit of her work late in the evening.One day, Zoe returned after dusk, exhausted and exhausted from all her energy. She threw her high heels without worrying about the world before throwing herself on the couch crossing her long legs. Her face was streaked with thick makeup and she gave off a strong smell of whiskey."These northern wizards are really good at drinking! I had to drink thirty glasses of wine before I could get them completely drunk. It was hell!"I handed a glass of water to Zoe, which she took with gratitude before swallowing it all at once. After a brief respite, she pulled herself together and analysed what she had learned."I heard from them that Bennet seems to have a mysterious anti-magic power, and it has strengthened his
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
