Jack’s Point of ViewThe battle raged on for days, each hour stretching longer than the last. The Wouri River Pack, already weakened from our previous confrontation, struggled to hold their ground. Meanwhile, the Blue Lagoon Pack had deployed nearly all its forces, pressing forward with relentless force. Victory was within reach.As my army neared the entrance of the Wouri River Pack, the gates suddenly creaked open. Aaron stepped forward, his posture tense, his exhaustion evident in every movement. His clothes were torn, his face hollow with fatigue.“Jack, stop!” His voice was raw, stripped of its usual arrogance. “What will it take to end this war?”I sat in my car, watching him through narrowed eyes. Without hesitation, I lowered my window, my tone colder than ice.“Return Rose.”Silence stretched between us, thick and suffocating. Neither side moved, the battlefield momentarily frozen in a fragile truce.Aaron let out a slow, weary breath. His hands curled into fists at his sides
Jack’s point of view:I withdrew from the territory of the Wouri River Pack with my army and I started the trip back to the Blue Lagoon Pack.As we still had distance to go to reach the territory of the blue lagoon pack and Rose looked a little exhausted, we settled in a hotel in a nearby small town for the night.I took Rose to the room. She sat on the bed without saying anything. She looked absently out the window with crazy eyes."Do you want to shower first?" I handed her a bathrobe, squatted next to her and gently grabbed her cold hands. My eyes lingered on the dark circles under her eyes. "You must have been exhausted these last few days. Take a shower and go to bed early, okay?"Rose’s empty gaze finally passed from the window to my face. She didn't recognise me in any way, but stared at me."I seem a little familiar to you?” I stuck a little smile on my face and placed her cold palm on my cheek, hoping that it would awaken a memory.Rose nodded submissively, but she said nothi
Jack’s point of view:Rose stabbed my chest with a dagger, sinking the sharp blade into me without an ounce of hesitation. She acted quickly and decisively, as if she were doing a daily task.I pressed the wound in a hurry, the bloodgushing out of my fingers. I forced myself to endure the acute pain. Raising my head, I looked at Rose in disbelief, my lips pursed in a sinister frown.Because she was my love, I had lowered my guard.Suddenly, Rose’s empty eyes widened slightly. Pain, shock and horror passed through them for a brief moment. However, a fraction of a second later, they returned cold and insensitive. She then abruptly removed the dagger from my chest. "Rose.." The colour dissipated from my face as it turned pale. I called Rose’s name weakly by instinct but I never wanted to blame her. I knew she had done this because she was under Aaron's control.Outside, thunder rumbled and heavy rains fell on the earth."Just... stay here! You're not going anywhere." I quickly noticed
Jack’s Point of ViewWhen I woke up again, the storm was still raging outside. Thunder rolled across the sky, rattling the windows as rain pounded against the glass. I was lying in bed, my chest wrapped in thick layers of gauze, my body stiff with lingering pain.Marvin was sitting on the sofa nearby, his gaze sharp and alert. The moment he noticed I was awake, he immediately rose and approached my bedside.“Mika is resting in another room,” he informed me. “She exhausted herself using too much of her healing power. Alpha, you were stabbed directly in the heart. You should be dead, but thanks to Mika’s abilities and quick treatment, you survived. She told me it was Natalie who attacked you?”Marvin’s expression was grim, his voice unusually severe. He had always been the level-headed Beta, the calm strategist of the pack. But now, his tone was edged with something rare—anger.“It’s true,” I confirmed, my voice steady despite the weight of my words. “Aaron drugged her.”I glanced down
Aaron’s Point of ViewTo keep Jack from suspecting anything, I carefully orchestrated a small skirmish between my soldiers and the Blue Lagoon Pack’s forces. For several days, we engaged in battle, just enough to make it seem like I was struggling. Then, when the timing was right, I staged my defeat and released Rose.Before letting her go, I gave her one final command—find an opportunity to kill Jack and escape to the Wouri River Pack. Jack trusted her completely, which meant getting close enough to strike wouldn’t be difficult.That night, the storm raged on. Lightning slashed across the sky, illuminating the darkened streets for fleeting moments, while thunder shook the earth beneath us. Rain pounded against the trees, drenching everything in its path.I waited a short distance from the hotel where Rose had checked in, my car idling in the shadows. The minutes stretched on until, finally, a figure emerged from the darkness.She ran toward me, soaked to the bone, her white dress cli
Rose’s Point of ViewI had stabbed Jack. My hands hadn’t trembled, my body hadn’t hesitated—but inside, a storm raged.Jack was my friend. Every memory I had with him remained crystal clear in my mind. I knew I shouldn’t have hurt him, and yet, I had. I had fought against it, tried to resist, but my will was no longer my own.Every fiber of my being was bound to Aaron. His words shaped my reality, and his commands controlled my actions. I was a prisoner in my own body, trapped in a nightmare where I was forced to obey.Each day bled into the next, an endless cycle of torment, confusion, and emotions I couldn’t control.That NightI awoke to a sudden pressure over my mouth. My body stiffened, but then a familiar voice whispered against my ear.“It’s me.”Aaron.He slipped under the covers, his arms encircling me as his lips traced soft kisses along my cheek and neck. My first instinct was to push him away, but my body betrayed me.He owned me.“And what if we had a little fun?” he murm
Aaron’s point of view:I immediately caught Rose, who was about to run to her room."Are you saying that Olivia told you she wanted to kill me?” I asked her in a surprised voice."No, I... I don't know,” Rose stammered.Her eyebrows were furrowed and she seemed to hesitate."So what did you mean by that?Were you killing?" I pulled Rose in front of me with a sinister smile, so that she faced me."I... I don't know. I don't know anything." Rose shook her head frantically.No matter how I questioned her, she just repeated the same thing.Since I wasn't able to get her useful information, I had to free her wrist and let her go back to her room.Maybe the high dose of the special aphrodisiac had confused Rose’s brain and she could no longer think clearly. But I felt that his accusation was not completely unfounded. Maybe Olivia really wanted to kill me.But why? I couldn't think of any reason why she should have killed me. My mind was buzzing with doubts.Considering how delicate Rose’s me
Olivia’s point of view:Since Aaron had brought Rose back into the Wouri River pack, I was on my guard. Rose had been drugged by Aaron and she was obsessed with him.I was afraid that she could reveal my secrets to him. Now, I was in a dangerous situation. I must have been on alert.While I was having breakfast today, Aaron approached me with a pleasant expression. I was arguing with him the last few days because of Rose. Seeing him smile today triggered warnings in my mind.Aaron announced that he would like to take me on a picnic alone in a soft tone rarely used. Why did he suddenly want to accompany me on a picnic?I immediately guessed that he could test me. Maybe Rose had revealed something to him. But since Aaron hadn't arrested me, it meant he wasn't quite convinced yet.I went with him to the lake. My father loved this place. When I talked to Aaron about it, he looked very annoyed. I didn't show any anger. Instead, I took off my coat and covered Aaron, who was pretending to sl
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
