Aaron’s point of view:My body froze, becoming cold as fear fell on me. Shock and despair struck me like a terrible flash. I was so scared that my palms were sooty.So Olivia knew the truth from the beginning!But the most horrible thing is that she managed to keep me in the dark for so long."Who told you that? I didn't kill Louis! You really shouldn't trust the rumours, Olivia. I admit that there are werewolves who say that his death has something to do with me. After all, we were both the only ones in the forest at that time. But Olivia, please believe me. I certainly didn't!”I was sure that Olivia had no proof. She probably believed the rumours of the pack and came to the conclusion that I was the one who killed her father."Aaron, you have a fatal weakness. You are always so pharisaic. I'm not an idiot. You may not expect it, but Rose sent me a video of you killing my father. After that, I allied myself with her and the Blue Lagoon pack. You have no idea how much I hate you, Aar
Olivia’s Point of ViewThat night, I brought Aaron back to the Wouri River Pack. The time had come to expose his crimes and finally bring an end to this cursed war.I ordered my soldiers to summon every member of the pack immediately. One by one, lights flared across the settlement, breaking the darkness. In no time, over a thousand werewolves filled the central square.Aaron knelt on the stage, bound tightly and gagged with a strip of black cloth. He no longer held the air of a cunning manipulator—just a fallen traitor.Without a word, I played the damning video on the large screen above the stage—the footage of Aaron murdering my father.Gasps erupted from the crowd, followed by an uproar of furious voices. Though my father had ruled with a stern hand, he had protected the Wouri River Pack for decades. Many still held deep respect for him.“Bastard! He should be executed on the spot!” someone roared from the crowd.“When was this recorded? Why wasn’t it shown earlier?” others asked,
Jack’s point of view:After Olivia took Aaron from the dungeon, I headed to the Wouri River Pack.Olivia told her subordinate to take me to the house where they lived. Once there, I pushed the door and saw Rose curled up on the bed.She looked much more haggard, but her eyes were no longer as dull as before. When she saw me walking towards her, her eyes widened slightly in surprise."Let me take you home, Rose." I sat on the edge of the bed and placed my hand on Rose’s face behind her ears. I took care to speak to her softly, in case I scared her.To my surprise, Rose didn't resist. However, her face was pale and terribly emaciated. Maybe the effect of the drug had weakened a lot, so she showed me no hesitation and simply nodded timidly.I surrounded her thin waist with my hands and hugged her. Rose replied by leaning against my shoulder, even though she remained silent.After that, I took her out of the house and took her to the car. We reached the square, but the road in front of us
Rose’s point of view:"Did... Did Aaron control me?” I tried to remember what happened that day. However, I was unable to understand why or how I was controlled."It's a little more complex than that. The good news is that everything is alright now. Olivia executed Aaron, and now we have a temporary truce." Jack gently kissed the tears on my face. As he moved, the thatch of his chin tickled my cheek.He had always been neat and clean, but now his face was full of fatigue. He had dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for a very long time."I can't believe so much happened after being drugged..." I raised my hand to absently touch Jack’s jaw, feeling his skin under my fingertips. Thinking of the time I stabbed him, I asked with concern: "How is your chest? Did I hurt your heart?”I unbuttoned Jack’s coat in a hurry and sat on him. Then I unbuttoned his shirt, impatient to check that he was okay and see if he was hurt somewhere. The muscles of his chest were strong and power
Rose’s Point of ViewI woke up groggy, the warmth of the sheets still clinging to my skin. Morning light poured through the windows in golden beams, but it was Jack who caught my attention first. He stood near the window, tall and composed, the sunlight casting a soft glow around him as he buttoned up his shirt.“You’re awake,” he said, glancing back at me. “You’ll need to get ready. We have something important to do today.”Still half-asleep, I sat up and rubbed my eyes, reaching down to pick up my underwear from the floor. “What is it?”“We’re going to help a black wizard,” Jack replied, pulling on a brown windbreaker. “He’s ill. I made a promise.”The name of the man he was referring to made my chest tighten—Bennet. He had once aided Aaron with the very potion that had nearly destroyed me. Even if he was helping to cure me now, I couldn’t ignore the fact that he’d once been a part of Aaron’s schemes.Still, Jack had given his word in exchange for my safety. Going back on it now was
Rose’s Point of ViewAfter Bennet left, I turned to Jack, unable to keep the suspicion inside me any longer.“Jack… I think Lucy had something to do with it. I remember drinking coffee with her just before everything happened. After only a few sips, I felt dizzy—strangely sleepy. Something wasn’t right.”Jack’s eyes darkened at my words, his expression tightening with a mix of anger and restraint. He rose from his seat, quietly closed the door, then came to sit beside me on the bed. His silence was heavy, as if he were choosing his words carefully.Finally, in a calm but deliberate tone, he said, “You’re right. Lucy was the one who drugged you. She tried the same thing with me, but I didn’t fall for it. She was working with Aaron all along—secretly. During the war, she intentionally led you into the forest so Aaron could capture you. And after we managed to imprison him… she was the one who set him free.”His eyes never left mine as he spoke. His voice was eerily steady, almost emotio
Rose’s point of view:In the past, I also considered Lucy to be my most important friend.However, she had betrayed me."I won't forgive you. You went too far this time! Why did you help Aaron drug Jack and me? You have no idea of the pain we have suffered because of what you have done!" I asked, my voice filled with despair and bitterness.Lucy had crossed the line. Because of the aphrodisiac, I almost killed Jack and revealed my alliance with Olivia. In addition, I almost slept with Aaron! Fortunately, everything was stopped in time.But... If all these things really happened, I could never forgive for the rest of my life."I-I didn't expect Aaron to be so vicious! He lied to me! It was all his fault. I was just used," Lucy had a hard time explaining herself. "I realised my mistake, Rose. Really, I never wanted to hurt you. I swear in front of theGoddess of the Moon!"It was already noon and the sunlight was penetrating through the white curtains, flooding the dark room. The shadows
Lucy’s point of view:I had never felt so helpless.After hearing Rose’s speech, I was even more ashamed. She had exposed my ugly and selfish motives.She intended to permanently cut off all contact with me. She had never spoken to me so harshly. I knew her very well. Once she had made her decision, there was no way to change it.I didn't know what Rose would say to Jack about me when she returned to the villa. I had committed such a major transgression. It was out of the question that Jack spared me.But when the next day came, Jack still hadn't done anything against me. Rose and Jack didn't order the soldiers to throw me out of the pack.However, even if they were not going to fire me, I no longer wanted to stay in the Blue Lagoon Pack. If I continued to live here, I would regularly meet Rose. I no longer wanted to see the disappointment in her eyes, and I was too guilty to be able to face her again.I immediately packed all my things, deciding to leave the Blue Lagoon Pack and live
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
