Jack's point of view Rose came to my office today, accompanied by her friend Lucy. Her scar was healing well, and she seemed to be gradually regaining her strength. Even with the fading scar, Rose’s beauty hadn’t diminished.I caught myself staring at her again, waiting for those light brown eyes to meet mine. But, as always, she glanced at me once and then looked away.What was I doing? What was wrong with me?“You’re losing it, Jack. Completely insane! Maybe I should find you a damn doctor,” Uriel, my wolf, growled in my mind the moment Rose left.“Shut up, Uriel! I have work to do, and you’re not helping!” I muttered, rubbing my temples in frustration. But Uriel was relentless, his voice thundering in my head like he’d just been injected with pure adrenaline.“Don’t act like you don’t know why you’re so distracted. You let Lucy stay here, claiming it was because she helped the pack. But we both know you did it for Rose, to make her feel less alone. Don’t lie to yourself. You’re a
Rose's point of viewI managed to pull the little girl out of the rubble and return her to her mother just before the building collapsed completely. Once she was safe, I turned my focus back to the others trapped beneath the debris.The collapse had left a chaotic mess of bricks, stones, and shattered beams. Determined to save as many lives as possible, I began sifting through the wreckage, lifting whatever I could.As I worked, memories of the last war flooded my mind. The destruction, the loss, the unbearable suffering—it was all still fresh. The smell of dust and death brought it all back. My heart sank as I uncovered more bodies, lifeless and buried beneath the ruins.Jack arrived soon after, his presence commanding. Despite being the Alpha, he didn’t hesitate to join in, rolling up his sleeves and pulling trapped werewolves from under the heavy rubble. He carried them to the stretchers with an urgency that matched the dire situation.But we were overwhelmed. There weren’t enough
Rose's point of viewThe doctors were taken aback by my response.“What are you talking about? Don’t you think it’s better to save the werewolf who’s less injured first?” one of them asked, clearly confused.I stood my ground. “If we save him first, the other one is guaranteed to die. But if you follow my plan, both of them will have a chance to survive.”A stern-looking doctor frowned at me. “The less-injured werewolf could die from the weight of the beam if we don’t move him immediately. Your plan could leave us with neither of them surviving.”I could feel their distrust and frustration, but before I could respond, Jack’s voice cut through the tension.“Why did you even ask for her opinion if you were just going to blame her if something goes wrong? That’s pathetic,” Jack said, his voice sharp, his lips curling in disdain.The doctors looked down, clearly chastised.I swallowed my nerves and took a deep breath. “We can’t choose one and abandon the other. They both deserve to live!
Rose’s point of view:I had never known so much surprise before. I looked with confusion at the wounds of the young werewolf, unable to believe what I saw.The young man's breathing began to stabilise, and his heart rate accelerated. The werewolves around looked at the undulating curve of the heart rate on the monitor and began to applaud."It's great! She saved him! ”"I didn't know that Dawson’s daughter was so talented! ”"Maybe she's not as bad as we thought. ”"Don't be stupid. We can't change the nature of a person. Maybe she's just pretending. ”Even though everyone was talking about me, they weren't all in bad faith this time. It seemed that at least a few of them looked at me in a more positive light.The medical staff took the young man to the ambulance and prepared to take him to the hospital for an operation. They didn't understand what had happened. They all told themselves that I had saved the young man thanks to my exceptional medical skills."Very good work. I'm sorry
Rose's point of viewA man in his sixties entered just after I sat down, glasses balanced on his nose. I recognized him instantly—Samuel, the hospital’s head doctor. He looked much older than the photos I’d seen in the Blue Lagoon pack’s newspapers.“Are you James Dawson’s daughter?” he asked bluntly, his dark gaze fixed on me. He didn’t wait for a response before sitting down.“I hate your father—and, by extension, you, because you’re his daughter,” he continued coldly. “When Alpha Jack asked me to give you a position here, I was completely against it. But, from what I’ve heard, you’re good at medicine. This is a new hospital, and we need capable staff. That’s the only reason I’m giving you a chance.”His tone was dry, his disdain palpable.“Understood,” I replied calmly, nodding politely. I’d long grown used to the hostility of the Blue Lagoon pack.Samuel narrowed his eyes. “I will follow the Alpha’s orders, but my priority is the patients. If you want to work here, you’ll have to
Lucy came to see me early this morning, requesting permission to work at the hospital. I had no objection; she was a medical student, and her skills would undoubtedly be useful.The day passed quickly with pack matters consuming my attention, but as evening fell, I found myself heading toward the hospital. It wasn’t planned, yet something compelled me to check on the injured werewolves from the construction collapse. These workers were critical to our pack’s progress. Every pair of hands mattered, especially now, during this crucial stage of development.As I approached the hospital, I stopped at the entrance. My instincts told me to go inside and inspect the condition of the injured, but my feet wouldn’t move.“What are you doing? Standing here like a fool? Don’t tell me you’re waiting for that bitch Rose!” Uriel growled in my head, his voice sharp with anger.I ignored him, unwilling to explain even to myself why I lingered at the door instead of going inside. The truth was—I didn’t
Rose’s Point of ViewWhat was Jack doing here? Was he… waiting for me?The thought sent a strange flutter through me. For all the cruelty he had shown me, Jack had moments of unexpected kindness. He had trusted me during a critical moment and allowed me to work at the hospital. Even if it was ultimately for the good of the pack, I couldn’t help but feel a sliver of gratitude toward him.Gathering my courage, I decided to thank him. But as I walked closer, the faint smile on my lips faltered. His expression was twisted—his eyes bloodshot, his face shadowed by something dark and feral.This wasn’t the Jack I’d seen in moments of calm.As I stepped closer, concern giving way to fear, Jack moved. He caught me by surprise, lifting me onto his shoulder like I weighed nothing.“Jack, what are you doing? Put me down!” I cried, panicked. I struggled against him, but he held me firmly.“Shut up, slut!” he roared, his voice raw and unrecognizable.Tears stung my eyes. I didn’t understand what wa
Rose’s Point of ViewWhen Lucy brought me back to my room, I collapsed onto the bed, my body still trembling from the encounter.“I came to the hospital to wait for you, but I couldn’t find you anywhere,” Lucy said, sitting on the edge of my bed. Concern lined her face as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “I looked everywhere, and thank Goddess I heard you calling for help in the forest. What happened? Did you argue with Alpha Jack? He looked furious.”I wanted to respond, but the words stuck in my throat. My mind was still replaying the way Jack had looked at me—his bloodshot eyes, his unrestrained anger. It was like staring into the eyes of a predator.I shivered under the weight of the memory, clutching the duvet and pulling it up to my chin. “Jack has always hated me because of my father,” I whispered, my voice shaky. “He can’t forgive what my father did to his pack.”It felt like an understatement. Jack didn’t just hate me—he despised me, and tonight had proven just how
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 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
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
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 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 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 ViewDays after issuing the declaration of war, I led my army to the borders of the Wouri River Pack. The tension in the air was thick, charged with the promise of battle. Aaron and his forces stood in our way, waiting for us. Even at a glance, I could tell his numbers were insufficient.My gaze swept across his ranks, searching. But Rose wasn’t among them.I stepped out of my car, my boots pressing into the rough, scattered stones beneath me. Every move I made exuded the silent fury brewing inside me. My voice was cold, edged with barely restrained rage.“Aaron. Hand over Rose. Now.”Aaron sat lazily in his car, clad in a sharp gray suit, exuding nothing but smug arrogance. He arched an eyebrow and let out a mocking scoff. A silver gun rested casually in his hand, as if he had already won.“I won’t be giving Rose to you,” he said smoothly. “She belongs to me now.” A twisted smile curled his lips as he flicked his fingers, signaling his men.A heartbeat later, Rose was
Aaron’s Point of ViewThe dense forest stretched before us, towering elms lining the road as we drove through the quiet night. Rose sat silently by the window, her gaze fixed outside, lost in thought. I, on the other hand, was reveling in my victory, pleased with how smoothly everything had gone.That satisfaction shattered the moment my phone screen lit up with Olivia’s number. The call interrupted my navigation, and immediately, my mood soured.Why the hell was this woman calling me now of all times?“What is it?” I answered curtly, irritation lacing my voice.“Aaron, where the hell are you? What’s going on?!” Olivia’s furious voice exploded through the speaker. “Didn’t you say you were negotiating a truce? The Blue Lagoon Pack just declared war on us! They’re demanding we hand over their Luna, or they’ll annihilate us!”Her anger burned through every word, but it was the accusation that followed that truly caught my attention.“You didn’t—tell me you didn’t kidnap Rose again! What
Jack’s point of view:I went to Rose’s dormitory and knocked on the door, which was opened by Bianca. My sudden arrival shocked her."Jack? What are you doing here at such a late hour?""I came to see Rose. Is she awake?" When I entered the room, I expected Rosse to still be there. My eyes swept the room and I realised that there was no one else here except Bianca and me. Rose was no longer in the room."Where is Rose, Bianca?” I turned to look at her and asked her in a tense voice."She's fine. She woke up some time ago. An hour ago, she received a phone call and went out to meet a friend. But, she was behaving a little strangely, and she was pompome, as if she was preparing for a date," Bianca replied with a craving stuck between her teeth."I don't think she went to meet a friend." I took a few moments to think carefully.An hour had passed since Rose had left the dormitory. I walked to the window and noticed the cosmetics placed on the table that she had used. My mind thought back
