Rose’s point of view:The next morning, I had planned to finish my breakfast and resume my homework. Jack seemed to have slept badly last night, and he looked a little tired and haggard. Perhaps he had still been busy with the affairs of the pack last night."Jack... Do you want to go upstairs and take a nap? You look…”Before I could finish speaking, the cup he was holding plunged to the ground without warning. His hands wrapped around his throat and he collapsed on the floor, his face as white as a sheet."Jack! Are you okay? What happened to you?"I immediately abandoned the knife and fork in my hands and rushed to watch him. His eyes were closed and he was unconscious. He didn't give me any answer.Had Jack relapsed? Acting on my crazy assumption, I began to use my healing power to bring him back to reason. But there was no change when my hands touched his body. I couldn't feel any wounds on him.I was so worried that I immediately called the hospital. An ambulance quickly arrived
Rose’s point of view:Bennet was obviously well prepared. It was useless to unleash my rage against him now. My first priority was to calm him down and negotiate a way to save Jack’s life.“I would never act imprudently unless my chances of winning are assured. Having come to visit you yesterday, I was sure I could convince you to collaborate with me. I already presented my plan to you yesterday. All you have to do is accept my request." Bennet went straight to the point. I didn't look as lively as yesterday. Instead, his voice was stable and relaxed.He was absolutely sure that I would cooperate with him."Bennet, I promise to help you. But I can't give up my studies and my homework like Luna. I explained to you yesterday how important they are to me."I was overwhelmed by guilt thinking about the way I was going to help the bad guys perpetuate bad actions. I couldn't help others as a doctor. Instead, I was forced to help Bennet kill dozens of people. Once Bennet gained the power he
Jack’s point of view:While I was having breakfast, I suddenly felt like I was being strangled by something that looked like a rope. Before I could react, I had fainted.When I regained consciousness, I found myself in the hospital. Rose’s face was filled with concern as she explained everything that had happened."If Bennet intended to be the most powerful wizard and conquer the wizarding world, he shouldn't have been such an idiot and acted so recrudently. He should have developed his own plan and systematically achieved his objectives. We will cooperate with him first. Along the way, we will find a way to secretly suppress the noose’s curse or simply kill him directly, "I thought for a moment and said uniformly. We should have saved enough time to find a way to remove Noose's curse.Rose looked helpless and guilty as she stood next to me. She was probably anxious to have made a mistake and was indirectly helping Bennet hurt other wizards."You did what needed to be done." I got off
Rose’s point of view:After meeting Zoe at the casino, I went back to college to attend my classes.I didn't know when Bennet would come to see me. I just hoped he wouldn't need my help too soon.But the next night, I received a message from Bennet telling me to go to the university door right away.Indeed, he had come to see me.When I arrived at the door of the university, he was waiting for me in a dark and silent corner. It was late at night and only a few people were crowded on campus.As I approached, I noticed that his cheeks were pressed again. His Lips were dry and his skin had no colour. His face was also deformed by pain. Maybe he had just taken the magic-enhancing potion."Treat me now!” Bennet’s tone was impatient and impatient. He had dropped his mask of politeness. He now ordered me as if I were his servant, and he assumed it was my job to treat him.I sat next to him and grabbed his wrist to treat him. I could feel that his injury was not as serious as last time, and t
Zoe’s point of view:At Jack’s request, I began to learn about Bennet in the wizarding world. I have attended many gatherings and parties organised by wizards to dig up more information.Wizards and witches did not like to stay with vampires and werewolves, and they could not be discovered by humans. They therefore always lived in small groups or alone, scattered throughout the world."Hi,Zoe, how are you? I miss you so much. Give me a French kiss." The person who had spoken was a dirty wizard. He was a peddler and earned money by selling low-quality aphrodisiacs."Stay away from me! Idiot!” I snorted and I moved his face away from mine. "I want to ask you something. Have you heard of the powerful wizard,Bennet?""Lately, a lot of people have asked questions about him. I heard rumours that the wizarding world was going to undergo a radical change! Bennet is already known as a powerful wizard and has begun recruiting new members into his army. Thanks to his evil powers, much more power
Andre’s point of view:Since Rose became Jack’s Luna, I had stopped pursuing her.I reluctantly wished them both happiness and I never bothered them again.I tried to stay out of her orbit. We were still friends at the university, but we no longer dated and no longer contacted each other as often as before.Time had healed my broken heart. My unshared love for Rose gradually faded and I finally evolved.Our teacher had recently entrusted us with many difficult subjects. I used to go to the library to borrow related books. I had just left the library holding a small pile of books in my arms. The sun was shining brightly today. Suddenly, a strong scent of roses invaded my nose.My eyes fell on a woman wearing a tight black skirt. She was tall and thin with curves in the right places. My cheeks turned red and my heart began to beat when I saw her. Her long red curls and subtle makeup enhanced her look and beauty. She was like a wild rose blooming in the dark night.My mind remained empty
Rose’s point of view:I was absorbed in a very difficult subject when a blow to my door broke my concentration. I opened the door and foundZoe at my door.“I called you, but you didn't pick up. So I had to come here personally.""Sorry, I forgot to turn off silent mode." I took out my phone and saw that there were several missed calls.Zoe entered my room. She sat on the edge of my bed and crossed her long legs. "Bennet has an eleven-year-old brother. We can kidnap him," she said without preamble. “He is so young and still a child. I don't like the idea of holding a child hostage." I was probably hesitant because I myself was a little sweaty. I didn't have the heart to hurt a child."Why not? We're just going to make Bennet sing with him. We're not really going to hurt him. And Jack’s life is at stake. Anyway, he's your friend. The decision is yours. I don't care." Zoe's explanation made sense.While she was talking, she watched me carefully."I'll think about it." Even if I did not
Bennet’s point of view:Since I was seriously ill, I rarely went to visit Alan. Very few people knew I had a little brother. He had attended a human school.I thought I had always hidden his existence.My feelings for my brother were very complex. I didn't like him either, I didn't hate him either. It was probably because I was naturally an indifferent and detached person. In my world, only two types of people existed, the strong and the weak. Allowing myself to have too many feelings would only make me weak and anxious.Alan sobled and looked at me. He looked miserable, his nose and ears were red from crying. But I didn't know why I felt no mercy for him.Alan was my only living family. I took very good care of him. He looked a lot like me and we had the same green eyes.In the past, I had thought that since Alan was my biological brother, he would probably have the same exceptional magical skills as my deceased father and me. But over time, I discovered that he had no magical power.
Bennet’s point of view:To realise my plans to wage a great war, I needed to gain more power and summon more wizards by my side as soon as possible. For this very reason, I have consumed more and more magic-enhancing drugs to increase my prowers.Recently, however, Rose’s healing power was regularly weakened. She needed more time to heal me and often stayed up all night. Because of this, she became haggard and exhausted.Lucy also noticed how hollow Rose’s face had become due to the constant exhaustion. She looked at Rose’s pale face and bloodshot eyes all increasingly in conflict."Bennet, haven't you noticed that she has become weaker and weaker by day? She is like a walking corpse! You shouldn't have gone too far. What did you do to her? If you continue, she will die!”Lucy had carefully observed Rose these days. It came to the point where she couldn't stand it anymore. Furious and deeply upset, she walked towards me angrily one night and grabbed my collar to question me.She did n
Zoe’s point of view:When André saw my tears, he got angry. He quickly raised his intact right hand and waved it in front of me, his face nervous and uncomfortable as he tried to cheer me up slowly. "Don't cry, Zoe. Believe it or not, I'm still as capable as before, even after losing my left hand.“Really!"I wiped my tears in silence and stared at him, my eyes injected with blood "You are so childish! Don't joke with your life! Have you ever thought about your parents or members of your pack, or your responsibility? You were so impulsive, and now you can't afford the consequences!” André squeezed his lips and was silent. Maybe it was because I was too hard on him, but the air between us suddenly became calm and depressing.Outside, it was already dark. The window of the room reflected our silhouettes. André lowered his head, silent for a long time. After a while, he finally found his tongue and spoke again.“When can I be myself? Otherwise, how should I protect my beloved companion?
Zoe’s Point of ViewThe chaos from the fight had erupted like a storm, drawing the attention of startled werewolves. One by one, they burst into my department, alarmed by the noise.“What happened here?” a nurse peeked inside—only to be met with a scene drenched in blood, furniture overturned, and magic lingering thick in the air. Her face went pale, and she let out a horrified scream.This was Red Snow Pack territory.And when the werewolves realized their prince had been attacked, fury surged through them. Without hesitation, they lunged at the remaining wizards, their instincts sharp and violent.The intruders instantly sensed danger. Outnumbered and overwhelmed, they exchanged one look—and vanished in a blink, escaping through teleportation.I, however, had no time to worry about them.André had been struck—badly. I couldn’t tell if he was alive or dead. He was rushed to emergency care, and I sat outside the room, frozen. My hands trembled in my lap, cold sweat dampening my palms.
Zoe’s point of view:A few days later, all the wounds on my body have completely healed and the comfort that stung me faded, I no longer was hurt.Unfortunately, the curse of the embraces had not yet been completely removed to my chagrin, I still could not move any of my limbs.I knew that the werewolf hospital had no way of getting rid of this curse. First of all, I had to return to the Blue Lagoon Pack and plan my next steps.It was the Red SnowPack hospital, and I didn't want to disturb Andre to take care of me every second of the day. I would be nothing more than a nuisance.The effects of the Fetter curse would gradually disappear over time. At the moment, I just needed to be patient and wait.I had a long discussion with the doctor and I planned to leave the hospital the next morning. It was already evening and it was much too late for me to head to the Blue Lagoon Pack at that time.Recently, my relationship with André has been very tense, thanks to what I had told him before.
Bennet’s Point of ViewThat night, I waited silently in the shadows of the abandoned building, cloaked in darkness and patience. When I saw Rose alone with Lucy, I didn’t hesitate. One flick of my wand, one whispered incantation—and the Imperius curse bound her will to mine.Like a puppet, she followed me without resistance.I had no intention of sticking around. Jack might grow suspicious of Lucy if she stayed too long, so I took her with us, slipping quietly into the night.To stay ahead, I made sure to clear out my old wooden hideout. By dawn, it was stripped bare. I brought Rose and Lucy to my new sanctuary—hidden in the heart of the city.This place was a masterpiece. Lavish, spacious, and camouflaged behind powerful enchantments, surrounded by busy market streets on both sides. The perfect disguise. No human, werewolf, or wizard could find it—unless I allowed it. Even if someone recognized the spell I used, they’d never break it. I made sure of that.And just in case, I’d sent m
Zoe’s Point of ViewAfter I lost mobility, André stepped up without hesitation, offering to be my caretaker.He fed me, helped with all the little things, and never once complained.André had always been lively and a bit impulsive. I thought he’d grow impatient quickly with something like caretaking. But to my surprise, he was patient—gentle, even—handling everything with care and unwavering dedication.Lying in bed for so long had left my body aching. So every day, he took me downstairs to the garden, letting me soak in the sun.The breeze was soft, carrying the scent of roses through the air. We sat side by side on a wooden bench under the shade of a large tree. The cicadas chirped overhead, blending into the calm of the afternoon.My gaze drifted to André’s face. His golden hair caught the sunlight like fire, and the curve of his nose and jaw still held that boyish charm. Yet his eyes… his eyes looked different lately. Quiet. Warm. But burdened.“Why are you staring at me like that
Zoe’s Point of ViewFlashbackIt was late when I left the bar, the night air cool against my skin as I made my way back to the Blue Lagoon Pack. The streets were deserted, wrapped in midnight stillness. Up ahead, four figures emerged from the shadows.Three men. One woman.They weren’t human. Nor were they werewolves.They were wizards—and the woman, clearly a witch. Their body language was sharp, menacing. In seconds, they surrounded me.My eyes darted to the wands hidden behind their backs. My breath caught.This wasn’t a friendly encounter.I took a slow step back, slipping my hand into my pocket in search of my wand.“What do you want?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.I wasn’t the kind to stir conflict. I had few enemies in either world. But one name echoed in my mind.Bennet.Most magical folk knew I was staying with the Blue Lagoon Pack. Maybe I’d made a mistake trusting that would keep me safe.“We’re just following orders,” one of the men said, his tone flat. “Bennet
André's point of view:Jack told me that Zoe had disappeared. I immediately rushed to the Red Snow Pack that night and sent a large group of werewolves in search of her.Zoe was a hybrid wizard and werewolf. She had many wizard and werewolf friends. She had a wide network of contacts, so her face was well recognised. Soon, one of my men had a trail of a few thieves."I just heard rogues talking. They work on a construction site and they found a woman's corpse in the pit of this construction site. She was beautiful and the smell of werewolf on her body was quite weak. A thug claimed that he had already seen this woman in the pack of the blue lagoon, which led him to deduce that she was not human. Maybe she's the one you're looking for, sir." My subordinate gave me a complete report of everything he had discovered."I'm on my way." When I heard the word 'corpse', I felt like my heart had stopped beating for a few seconds. However, I forced myself to stay in the present moment and rushed
Jack’s point of view:It was rare that Zoe did not answer her phone, which was usually on twenty-four hours a day. She had a large network of werewolves and wizards with whom she remained in contact, and she was often busy at the casino. Her schedule was usually busy, so she had to make sure she was reachable at all times. She was always responsible. If there was an urgent matter that she had to deal with, she informed the others in advance.My intestine was shaking uncomfortably. Something was wrong. I immediately returned to the Blue Lagoon Pack. I researched the werewolves living near Zoe’s house. All said that they had not seen her and that her house had been empty for several days.I went to the casino on the black market again. Casino staff also said they hadn't seen Zoe for several days.What happened to Zoe? Why did she disappear for several days? And she hadn't warned anyone of her absence either. Her phone was off and she had been missing for days, which was not the way she
