Hilary's point of view:Certain that Jack would accept his offer, Loren gave me a look of confidence."Sorry, Alpha Loren, but I won't sell Rose. She belongs to me, "said Jack nonchalantly before leaning back in his chair and looking at us, Loren and me, condescendingly.Did I hear correctly? Had Jack just said that Ross was his? I couldn't believe my ears. I felt my heart break so much I was suffering. I was seized by jealousy and despair.Jack and I had known each other for years. And we had supported each other to spend the worst moments in the dungeon. But, it was the first time he also showed himself possessive."Jack, do you forget that the Blue Lagoon pack needs money? It's a new pack and it needs funding. Besides, it's not like Loren is our enemy. We also can't afford to offend the other packs " I tried to persuade Jack , after calming down."The situation of the Blue Lagoon pack is not so critical, we will not starve even without these fifty million dollars. In addition, Rose
When I learned Rose no longer lived in the dungeon, I was furious. Jack’s kindness toward her was inexplicable. Giving her an apartment? Treating her like an equal? She was supposed to be a slave, and yet, she lived better than most wolves in the pack.That was when I knew—something had to be done.My plan unfolded with precision. I discreetly smuggled Loren’s werewolves into Blue Lagoon territory and waited for the perfect moment. After learning Rose’s schedule, I timed my move for when she was at work.Breaking into her apartment was laughably easy. Once inside, I made my way to her bedroom and poured a heavy dose of sleeping drug into the carafe of water she kept on her nightstand. Then I stationed Loren’s werewolves outside, while I took the apartment opposite hers. Through my telescope, I could see everything.When Rose returned home, she went about her routine—cooking, cleaning, and tidying her room. It took every ounce of patience I had not to scream at how slowly she moved. Fi
Jack’s point of view After finishing the last of my paperwork, I was preparing to turn in for the night when Lydia reached out to me through the mental link. Her voice carried a sense of urgency that instantly put me on edge.“Jack, Rose is missing,” she said.Without hesitation, I sent word to my men, ordering them to comb through our entire territory for her. Meanwhile, I rushed to her apartment, where Lydia was already waiting.“I came to bring her food, but she didn’t answer the door,” Lydia explained as soon as I arrived. “I asked the guards stationed downstairs, and they confirmed they saw her return from the hospital earlier. I forced the lock, but when I got inside, the place was empty. And her belongings—some of them are gone.”My jaw tightened. “What about Andrea? Is she still here?”“Yes,” Lydia replied, her face pale. “She’s at my house playing with Grace.”Her words didn’t sit right with me. Rose would never abandon her sister, no matter the situation.I stepped into the
Hilary’s Point of ViewNever before had Jack shouted at me so harshly, and I had never seen him so shaken. It was as if he was barely holding himself together.But why? Why was he so upset over her? Why was he yelling at me because of that worthless girl?My chest tightened with anger, but I forced my eyes to well with tears, letting sadness paint my face. I knew how to play my role. I let my lip tremble and my gaze fall to the ground, ensuring I looked pitiful and hurt.Jack’s threatening glare softened when he noticed my tearful expression. As always, my act worked. Whenever I pushed him too far, all I had to do was appear fragile, and he would back down.This time would be no different. Without Rose, everything would go back to how it used to be between us. That thought alone filled me with relief, even joy.Loren’s men had done their job—or so I thought. The fabricated scene they had created should have been enough to convince Jack to give up his search.But as Jack knelt to pick
Rose’s Point of ViewWhen I returned to my apartment, I drank some water and collapsed onto my bed. Exhaustion overwhelmed me, and before I could process the strange heaviness in my limbs, I blacked out completely.The next time I woke up, everything was swaying slightly, and the low hum of an engine filled my ears. My head throbbed, and I struggled to orient myself.Opening my eyes, I was met with Loren’s smug face, his arm firmly wrapped around my waist. His grin was obscene, his eyes predatory.“Get your hands off me! Why am I here?” I spat, trying to wrestle free from his grip. Only then did I realize we were in a moving car, speeding down a rugged, uneven road. The pitch-black sky outside confirmed it was the middle of the night.Loren tightened his hold, ignoring my struggles. “Why the hostility, sweetheart? You were sleeping so peacefully in my arms just moments ago. Don’t you want to rest a little longer?” His voice was a sickening mix of mockery and desire, his eyes glinting
I led my men toward Loren’s territory, just north of the forest. Every second felt like an eternity. My mind raced with thoughts of what could have happened to Rose. She was in Loren’s hands, and I didn’t know if she was safe—or if she had already been harmed.Everyone knew Loren’s depraved tendencies. The idea of him touching Rose filled me with a rage I could barely contain.“Marvin, speed up,” I ordered, massaging my temples as guilt and worry clawed at me. This was my failure. I hadn’t anticipated Loren would be bold—or stupid—enough to abduct her after I’d refused him.“Alpha, I see car lights,” Marvin said, turning toward me from the front passenger seat.I looked ahead and saw headlights glowing in the distance. It was Loren’s convoy.“Overtake them and block the road,” I commanded, my voice cold and firm.Our vehicles roared ahead, cutting off Loren’s cars and forcing them to stop. Without hesitation, I got out of the car with Marvin by my side. My heart pounded, but my resolv
Rose’s PerspectiveJack stood outside, watching me through the window. For the first time since this nightmare began, I felt a glimmer of safety. His calm, unwavering gaze seemed to promise that everything would be alright.I couldn’t fully understand why, but I believed—deep in my heart—that Jack would see me home.The moment he appeared, Loren sprang from the car. He would never let me go without a fight. What would Jack do now?If Loren threatened him with war, I knew Jack might hesitate. After all, the fragile peace between the Blue Lagoon pack and Loren’s had only just been restored. Surely, I wasn’t worth jeopardizing that for.And yet, Loren did exactly what I feared. He leveled a threat of war at Jack, his voice sharp with impatience, his eyes alight with menace. But Jack… Jack didn’t flinch. If anything, he met Loren’s aggression with even greater ferocity.My gaze remained fixed on Jack, my heart pounding. At that moment, I finally understood why Hilary had fallen so deeply
I have been furious with Rose lately. She hadn’t visited me in days, and her aloofness was beginning to wear on me. Her arrogance was another thing I couldn’t stand. Instead of trying to be warm or accommodating, she often kept herself cold and distant, as if she was too good for anyone.Perhaps it was a product of her upbringing, born as the proud princess of her pack. Whatever the reason, I had resolved to put her out of my mind. I decided that even if I saw her again, I would no longer show her any kindness.But I was lying to myself.The moment Rose expressed her gratitude, a spark of joy rippled through me, banishing all the anger and resentment I had harbored. It was maddening. No matter how much I tried to detach myself from her, I couldn’t. It was as if an invisible force bound me to her. I needed to stay close, to protect her, to ensure she was safe.“Loren took my slave without permission. There’s no way I’ll let him make a fool of me. You don’t need to thank me at all,” I s
Aaron’s point of view:The sudden appearance of Jack caught me off guard. I decided to ask Bennet to help me again. His magical network had failed to keep Jack confined, which meant that something had gone wrong the last time. He should create another magic board for me.I went to Bennet’s and knocked hard on his door."Bennet, are you here? Jack escaped from your magical network. You'd better find another way to help me! Bennet!” I slammed the door with my fist.However, I did not receive any response from the inside. After a long time, the voice of Bennet's exhaustion came from behind the door.“I can't help you right now, Aaron. You know I was seriously injured when I was young. This wound has broken out again. I need to rest quietly for a while now." Bennet said. He spoke to me through the door. His voice sounded as if he was dying."How long will it take you to recover?” I put my hands on my hips and centred impatiently on his threshold. Thinking about the heavy losses I suffered
Rose’s point of view:As we separated, our breaths increased in visible puffs. Jack leaned closer and kissed the tip of my nose and then my cheeks."How did it go during my absence?” Jack traced my face with his fingertips as he spoke softly, placing his head on his hand.Then I gave him a detailed report of the situation on the battlefield."At the time, I joined forces with Olivia. Aaron murdered Louis in cold blood. I was there when it happened and fortunately I managed to record it. After showing the video to Liv, she swore to take revenge on Aaron. She agreed to tell us everything she knows about Aaron’s combat strategy. Once we know what we are facing, I think we will have a good chance of winning the war." I grabbed Jack’s phone on the bedside table and recorded Olivia’s number. "If you have any questions, you can contact Olivia on this number."The corners of Jack’s eyes curved slightly as he smiled from ear to ear.I could tell he was happy because the next moment he gave me
Rose’s point of viewI was discussing the situation on the battlefield with Frank in the tent. The Wouri River Pack had become more and more aggressive these last day. At this time, Frank and I were discussing how to organise army training for our next confrontation.“Luna! Luna, Alpha jack is back!” The flap of the tent was pulled backwards as a soldier rushed with great ardour."What did you just say?” I thought it was a joke when I heard the news, I emerged from the tent in great excitement. I was on a new cloud! I began to think about how Jack had managed to return and whether he had been seriously injured or not.I saw the werewolves of our pack running in the same direction, and I couldn't wait to follow them. Just at that moment, I hit a hard and strong body.Looking up, I saw that it was Jack.Surprise and pleasure arose in me.I was about to say something, but I quickly realised that Jack was looking at me coldly.“Jack, why are you looking at me like that? What happened?" I
Jack’s Point of ViewI followed Lucy back to the military camp of the Blue Lagoon pack and the alliance of smaller packs.My return was met with shock and overwhelming joy. Warriors gathered around, their expressions alight with relief. Smiles and cheers filled the air, but my mind was elsewhere.I scanned the crowd eagerly. “Has anyone seen Rose?”The moment the words left my lips, the celebratory mood shifted. The smiles faltered, and an uncomfortable silence settled over the group. Their gazes darted away, and whispers spread like wildfire among them. I caught fragments of hushed conversations—words that made my expression darken.They were murmuring about Rose. About Aaron.My jaw clenched. I already knew about Rose’s past with Aaron, but why was it suddenly the subject of camp gossip? How had their history become public knowledge?Later, in the privacy of my tent, I called Lucy in. She had been in the camp while I was gone. If anyone knew what had happened in my absence, it was h
Aaron’s Point of ViewAs I meticulously analyzed the combat strategy at our camp, the hurried voice of my subordinate interrupted my thoughts.“Sir, I have something important to report!”“Go on.”“One of our scouts spotted Jack during a reconnaissance mission. He’s alive, and it looks like he’s heading back to the Blue Lagoon Pack’s camp.” My subordinate spoke between ragged breaths, struggling to catch his breath.I shot to my feet, my mind racing, and stormed out without another word. How was that possible? I saw Jack buried alive with my own eyes. There was no way he could have escaped the black wizard’s powerful magical trap. Our scouts must have been mistaken. There was simply no way.I climbed the watchtower and grabbed the telescope, directing it toward the Blue Lagoon Pack’s camp.What I saw sent a wave of shock through me.In the dense forest, Jack and Lucy were making their way toward the camp. He moved with ease, without a single visible wound.“Damn it! That lucky bastard
Jack’s Point of ViewDarkness enveloped me as I slowly opened my eyes. The only sound was the distant rush of flowing water.I struggled to recall what had happened. I had followed Aaron into the valley when, without warning, the earth trembled violently. The ground beneath me collapsed, and for a fleeting moment, I was weightless, suspended in midair. Then, I plunged into an endless abyss, swallowed by the depths of the earth. The last thing I remembered was the suffocating weight of dirt and stone burying me alive.So why was I still breathing?With great effort, I pushed myself up, my muscles protesting in agony. Without hesitation, I shifted into my wolf form. Uriel’s keen vision was far superior to my human eyes, and in an instant, the pitch-black surroundings became clearer.I had fallen into a massive karst cave, its towering rock formations stretching high above me. By some miracle, I had escaped being buried alive.I exhaled sharply. Finding a way out was now my top priority.
Olivia’s Point of ViewA cold numbness spread through me, my body frozen in place as the weight of betrayal crushed me. No one could possibly understand the torment I felt in that moment. The truth had shattered my world, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake.I was drowning in grief, yet beneath the sorrow, an unrelenting fury burned inside me. Every part of me screamed for vengeance—I wanted to make Aaron suffer for what he had done. But I knew that acting on impulse would be reckless. I wasn’t strong enough to take him down alone, not yet.“We share the same goal,” Rose’s voice was calm but firm. “Aaron has to die, Olivia. If we work together, we can make it happen.”She paused before continuing, her tone laced with conviction. “The Blue Lagoon Pack wanted no part in this war, but Aaron forced our hand. If we eliminate him, we can finally put an end to this conflict. But first, we need to strip him of his power.”I clenched my fists, frustration coursing through me.“Aaron’s i
Olivia’s Point of ViewI didn’t want to believe Rose. I wanted to dismiss her accusations as lies, but my father’s death still haunted me. I needed to know the truth.Clutching the USB drive tightly in my trembling hand, I replayed Rose’s determined words in my mind.The moment I returned to the Wouri River Pack, I locked myself in my room, took a deep breath, and inserted the drive into my laptop.A video began to play—a recording of a dense forest, the camera shifting as if someone was secretly filming from the bushes. My breath hitched when Aaron came into view.He moved toward my father, who sat unsuspectingly on a stone, his guard completely down. Without hesitation, Aaron pulled out a gun and aimed it at him.A muffled gunshot rang out. The weapon had been silenced. My father jerked forward, his eyes wide with shock before his body crumpled to the ground.Aaron didn’t stop. He fired again. And again.I watched in horror as he stepped closer, ensuring my father was truly dead bef
Olivia’s point of view:I had always thought that the happiest thing that could happen to me was to marry the person I loved. We would have a big wedding, during which I would be dressed in a luxurious and beautiful wedding dress. My father, who cherished me more than anything, would personally give my hand to my beloved prince, who would accompany me for the rest of my life. I would receive the sincere blessings of all the members of the pack, who wish me eternal happiness.At least, that was my expectations for my wedding. With these happy thoughts in mind, I accepted Aaron’s proposal.The reality turned out to be the opposite and disappointed me a lot. There was no time to hire a makeup artist or choose wedding dresses and jewellery during leisure. I had to wear a wedding dress bought in a hurry, which looked terribly good on me and very bad. There were no flowers or balloons, no beautiful and romantic atmosphere.Nothing happened as I imagined.I found that "loomy" was a good desc
