Jack’s Point of ViewIt was dangerous enough for a thief to wander outside—more so for a lone wolf. And Lucy… Lucy was beautiful. Her presence alone could draw unwanted attention, especially from male werewolves.Before she left the Blue Lagoon Pack, I made her a promise: that if she was ever in trouble, she could count on me. She’d done a lot for the pack—more than most realized.“Where are you now, Lucy? We’re coming for you.”“I’m near the lake district, just north of the school,” she said, her voice tight and breathless. “There’s a bookstore and a pizzeria nearby. I’m hiding in an old abandoned building. I think they’re looking for me—”Her sentence broke off. All I could hear after that was the relentless downpour of rain.“Lucy?” I called out, gripping the phone tighter. “Lucy, can you hear me? Say something! Lucy!”Silence.I lowered the phone, my heart pounding. Something didn’t feel right. The call had ended too abruptly. My instincts were on high alert, but I couldn’t yet pi
Jack’s point of view:"Rose!” I desperately looked around the abandoned building, panic shaking my whole body. No matter how hard I tried, I didn't find anything or anyone. Ross never answered my calls. Rose and Lucy had disappeared into the air.This cruel realisation shocked me to the bone. I never imagined that Rose would be kidnapped under my nose!It was absurd. Even stranger, I could smell Rose and Lucy all this time. Because of this, I had relaxed my vigilance. Logically speaking, they should still be there now. However, I couldn't find them at all, and there was no other smell inside.Anxious, I started to walk the hundred steps and tried to look for clues in the abandoned building. Maybe someone had deliberately left Rose and Lucy’s perfumes here to make me lower my guard. If this was really the case, then there was only one explanation: witchcraft. Only magic could substitute the false for the authentic.Could It be Bennet?It shouldn't be difficult for a wizard to pretend a
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
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
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
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
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 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.
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 manage
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
Bennet’s Point of View:I brought Alan to a wizarding hotel located in the heart of the city and decided it would be our temporary refuge. Our last hideout had been completely destroyed, and the other safe houses I’d prepared had already been exposed by Jack and his team. For now, staying in a hotel was my only option.As soon as we settled in, Alan began complaining non-stop.“Why won’t you let me go? I want to go back to Zoe and the others. You abandoned me, remember? So why bother bringing me with you now?” He sat on the edge of the bed, glaring at me with a fury that made him look like a cornered lion cub.He clearly hadn’t been suffering in the Blue Lagoon Pack. His once-gaunt cheeks had filled out, giving his face a softness I hadn’t seen in a long time.Despite his temper, I couldn’t let myself snap at him. I needed his cooperation, and I had to play this carefully.“You’re still upset about what happened before, aren’t you?” I said, kneeling beside the bed so we were eye-level
Rose’s point of view:However, things did not get back on track as I expected. I quickly realised that something was really wrong. Jack was very cold to me. Strangely cold, even. There was something I didn't know, and everyone seemed determined to help me in ignorance about it.Since my return, Jack has stayed in his office all day, working non-stop. He was so busy that he never returned to the villa. We didn't even have time to talk, let alone discuss the decoration of the pack's official house.I had been in the pack for so many days, but he had had no reaction to my presence. He didn't comfort me and didn't care about my recovery or my well-being. These days, he rarely talked to me. We barely exchanged our greetings. It was absolutely disconcerting. I couldn't understand.To confirm my doubts, I decided to express my suspicions to Jack."Jack, it's Rose. I want to ask you something."I knocked on the door of his office several times before he finally answered. "Come in."When I en
Rose’s point of viewI noticed that Jack had become a little strange and acted very differently than usual. For now, however, I have not dwelled on it or tried to get to the bottom of things. Maybe I was suffering from mental instability and I imagined all this, because too many things had happened in a short time.Soon we brought Lucy’s body back to the Blue Lagoon Pack and organised a funeral for her.Jack proposed to bury Lucy in the Blue Lagoon Pack cemetery, where countless soldiers died of the war. Lucy could rest in peace with their company.Her funeral took place a few days later. Rows after rows of cars went up the mountain road to attend. Because Lucy had helped many werewolves of the blue lagoon pack, those who were grateful for her help had all come to her funeral to return her.I was sure that Lucy was delighted to have been recognised by the Blue Lagoon Pack. When she was a child, she often did her best to be excellent and gain recognition from others. In fact, she was p
