Amarantha's POVEverything on this day was surreal.The omegas were extra thoughtful to me while they help me take a bath and put on my wedding dress. Wearing such a heavy and expensive gown meant that this was no ordinary wedding.I've seen a few wedding feast gatherings before the war. I only knew a few couples who would dance around the fire as they celebrate their bond. Nothing extravagant. It was as simple as that. But that wasn't the reason I kept on watching them. It was when I saw how the couples looked at each other. It made me dream of love at that moment.But now that I'm about to be in it, suddenly, it felt lonesome than admiring.It wasn't because I was expecting a lovely dance. It wasn't because of the expensive food being served. It was because I couldn't have someone who would look at me lovingly the same way those couples exchange for themselves.I'm about to get married to someone who couldn't even reciprocate love to me. I'm going to be tied to a cold and ruthless A
Amarantha's POVI couldn't remember if I was still breathing.The moment he collapsed in front of me became the most frightening nightmare I had ever had."Iram!" I shouted. My tears brimming from my eyes.I watched my mate fall while gripping his chest desperately. He was in trouble breathing.I was too stunned. I couldn't even move. But when I saw his hand stretched out to me, that was when I was well aware of my surroundings.This was not a dream.I quickly sat beside him. "Iram! Please... please, stay with me..." I pleaded while I made sure he lay flat on the floor. "What should I do?""I-I..." Iram's pair of gray pupils started to move fast. Beads of sweat got the best out of him but his skin was too cold. It was like he was ice himself."Y-you're too cold... What's happening? Please, tell me what to do..." I cried. I didn't know what else to do. I felt so useless. Seeing him being taken out of his life hurts like hell. I didn't want him to feel this way. I should do something!T
Amarantha's POV"This is a big mistake, Luna. Maybe we should just let the council decide—""If you side with them, then just leave me alone!" I snapped at Omnibus.He was following me to the platform where the pack members were gathered outside. I could hear their voices chattering but not as well as how werewolves had with their intensified hearing ability.After I left the royal council astounded by my words, Omnibus followed me with his warnings. Of course, he already knew what was I planning but he kept it to himself instead of trying to let them know. But still, I was getting annoyed at his words.If was so against my plan, then why bother talking me out of it?I am a human, not some kind of werewolf that would try to save their whole race of arses out of this thing."L-Luna, you know that's not possible. I'm literally tied to you as your Gamma," Omnibus continued.I rolled my eyes. "Then just shut the bloody hell up let me do my job!" I shouted then proceeded outside.The blind
Iñigo's POV"No!" a curly-haired brunette woman dressed in a violet tried to get away from the Iotas who seized her. The two of them pulled her arms in front of the Alpha King.The name of the Alpha King is Iramus. His eyes glowed bright red filled with rage. But his figure may seem too calm and unnerved. To me, I was certain that he loathed the woman in front of him.The soil underneath us stained our shoes due to the heavy rain drowning the whole earth.I was there watching. I was literally shivering. It wasn't because of the rain but because of my anger.The woman's figure could be reflected in my green eyes. Helpless. Hopeless.I balled my fists while I wait beside the oak tree. I wanted to move my feet and do something, but I couldn't. I was planted down to the soil, rooted but dying.Those whom we served with all our lives... those whom we entrust our whole lineage to... was the sole reason for our downfall.The woman stretched out her hand in my direction. That was when my eyes
Amarantha's POV I was still in over my head right after the meeting. It didn't hurt what they said to me being a human, the lowest rank of all the creatures of this world now that werewolves existed. Rather, I was in deep confusion about my purpose.I couldn't help but question myself. What if Iram found out that I was never his curse-breaker in the first place? What if because of me, he will die a vain death due to the curse given by the Moon Goddess herself and I didn't have anything to heal him?I couldn't let such a terrible thing happen! I didn't care about being the Luna Queen. What's so important about the title? All I ever wanted was to end the war between the werewolf and humans. All I care about was my safety. But now that I was brought here by force, my concerns shifted 360 degrees. Now, all I care about is him.Iram."Luna, are you upset?" Omnibus asked. He was following me out of the meeting hall and to Iram's room. "I know that you were upset because of what happened bu
Amarantha's POVThe next day, I was bombarded with a lot of work that I never thought I would face in the absence of the Alpha King. Good thing that I can read and write, and a good thing that werewolves also use human language and the alphabet.I was sweating profusely despite the cold air inside the library. I used this place to finish some tasks that Omnibus and Iñigo guided me to do. With that, I was able to finish around 50 tasks out of 60 tasks that needed to be finished this day.I sighed and rested the quill beside the inkstand. I needed to finish 5 more letters to be sent out to other packs for the upcoming Unity Ceremony. It is a traditional event wherein packs inside Western continents gather and meet annually. Most of the visitors would be Alphas and Lunas of packs in the whole of Europe. It is 2 months away from now. The final day of Iram's curse and life.I rested my back against the chair and looked heavenwards. I only saw pigment of light from the outside. I missed wal
Amarantha's POV "No matter what you do, don't trust anyone. Do you understand?"Those were the last words I heard from my mother. I remembered the place and time. It was September 1st, 1939 when the war began.There were a lot of human soldiers all over our country. It was the last tolerable scene I had witnessed before everything went into darkness.But right at that moment, when I lost my mother and father, the day I lost my hope for humanity. Those were the times when I hated being a human. All they could think about was to run and hide from the monsters.It was then, I realized just now that the real monster wasn't them. It wasn't the werewolves after all. It was me.I was the monster who disguised myself as a werewolf and became part of the predators who destroyed this world. I was an enabler of chaos.Seeing Tabitha just now seemed so sudden. It was a wake-up call for me. The reminder that I was only brought here for a purpose. It was not because I wanted to. I needed to.It wa
Amarantha's POV I have only one day to search for an answer.After I asked Amelia to take care of Iram in the meantime, I tried searching for clues inside the library. I wanted to know something about medicinal methods for werewolves. This was my first time being involved in such a problem.I frustratingly slammed the last book of medicine down the table and grunted. "Why can't I find anything related to his disease? There must be something around here that might help me..."Omnibus sighed and looked at me with a resigned look. "You should rest, Luna. You've been up since last night. You didn't even give yourself a whip of sleep. Please take rest, Luna," he pleaded.I shook my head and grabbed another book. "No. I can't give up now. I have to figure out what to do. We can't let him die!" I refused.Omnibus suddenly held my hand to stop me from moving. It was just soft and comforting. He was like telling me exactly what he wanted me to say. To rest. "Please..."I closed my eyes and si
