"Return to the Moon House?" Lionel said, furrowing his brows as he put down his cutlery."You don't agree?" I asked hesitantly.Franz snorted. "It'll be strange if he did! Well, some people are just full of secrets, aren't they? They're afraid of being stripped bare and exposed, you know?"Franz's words obviously implied something since Lionel's face darkened.I could guess that it might be related to my lost memories."It's not that I don't agree. It should be fine for Stacey and Ben to go. There's no need for you to follow them," Lionel stressed."But...""You're Luna, after all, so you should remain in the Pack to preside over matters. No one can guarantee there's no danger along the way, so it's safest for you to remain by my side.""That's some bullshit excuse there!" Franz snickered. "Don't listen to him, Rylee. If you want to go back there too, I'll accompany you," Franz said as he leaned closer to me, glowing with excitement. "Let me tell you. The Moon House is fascinating! We
We've kissed countless times, but my heart still pounded like the first time we did."Rylee..." Lionel's voice grew huskier as he reached inside my shirt with his broad palm."Mmm..." I couldn't help but let out a whimper.He rubbed my breast and rolled my nipple between his fingers. His pants were hot and heavy, like a wild animal on the verge of pouncing."I like this..." Lionel whispered, nibbling on my earlobe. "You look gorgeous..."My legs felt like jelly from his touches, and I couldn't help but melt into his arms, letting him support my weight."Rylee," he called my name repeatedly, until I felt my bones go numb from the emotions running through me.However, it all came to a screeching halt when we heard the sound of footsteps approaching us."What are you guys doing?"Franz's eyes were wide, and he swept a suspicious gaze over Lionel and me. I had already straightened up from Lionel when I heard footsteps, and my clothes were not very messy, but only my ears still felt on fir
"Rylee!" Lionel exclaimed in concern, reaching out to hold me up."W-Who are you?" I asked incredulously.Lionel was my mate. How could he betray me?"Hmm, seems like it's true what they're saying. Don't you remember me? My dear sister!" the woman smirked and said. "I'm Jenna."Je... Jenna?The familiar name sent a jolt of pain through me, and I suddenly felt my stomach churning. My head felt like it had been stabbed with hundreds of needles!Fragments of memories flooded my mind.In a haze, I saw a woman who looked like me standing in front of a closet as she casually rummaged through the clothes.The image shifted, and she was snuggling up in the arms of another man while giving me a smug look.Then, I saw her standing side by side with Lionel before a Moon Goddess statue, seemingly saying some kind of vow.Yet all of it disappeared suddenly, and a razor-sharp pair of scissors suddenly came stabbing me!"Ahhhhh!!!" I couldn't help but scream in fear!Lionel cradled me in his arms, c
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn. I looked out the window and saw the sun rising. Lionel lay on the edge of my bed with his eyes closed, dozing lightly. When he heard movement, he immediately woke up. Reaching out to caress my cheeks, he whispered, "You had a fever last night. It was hard to get a doctor to bring it down... Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"I felt sore and weak but nothing too uncomfortable, so I shook my head and sat up."Are you hungry? I'll have the cook make you something to eat," Lionel said."Okay."After a few minutes, Lionel brought me some easily digestible food. After eating my breakfast, I finally felt refreshed. Lionel didn't want to leave, but it was an eventful year. Frequent wars were breaking out in many places, and even Franz had been sent away. As Alpha King, he couldn't be greedy for comfort.Before he left, he doubled the number of bodyguards assigned to me."Be good and wait for me at home. Don't go anywhere. I'll worry."I no
"No... No...!"I felt the cold needle press against my skin, and a terrifying feeling washed over me. The situation was so familiar as if I had been in the same position before...When was it? I remember being held down on a bed and left to die!An image flashed through my mind in my panicked state. A doctor in a white lab coat, wearing a mask... A cold syringe and painful restraints...!I renewed my struggles and tried to wriggle my arms free."Stay still!" Jenna hissed, pinching my arms harshly. "If you don't want to be filled with holes, you better stop moving!""W-what... the hell do you... want?!" I asked her weakly.Jenna didn't inject the fluid into my arm and only pressed the needle to my skin before sneering, "What do you think this is, hmm?""You want... to kill-""Wrong!" Jenna cut me off, playing with the syringe in her hand. "It's so boring and pointless just to kill you, you know? Instead, I'm going to torture you."She glanced at my stomach when she said that before con
(Lionel's POV)My assistant suddenly rushed over to inform me that many Rogues were besieging the slums. Previously, I sent Franz there in case someone attacked, as it wasn't very safe in the Pack right now.But it seemed like he couldn't even handle something like this.When I arrived with my men, I saw many injured people."Why are there so many Rogues attacking out of the blue?" Franz asked as he fought off a one-eyed wolf."How the hell would I know?" I yelled as I snapped the neck of a Rogue.I didn't have time to think about how the Rogues got into the Pack and could only focus on the battle before me. It was already dark when we dealt with all the Rogues. I ordered Franz to stay behind to take care of the injured and hurried back to the conference building.Just as I reached the lobby, a maid suddenly lunged at me."Alpha! Alpha, you're finally back!" At a glance, she sounded excited, but there was obvious worry and nervousness on her face. I studied her face and recalled that
(Bruce's POV)"Who are you?"When I approached Rylee, I expected to see the shock on her face and maybe even panic or terror from her betraying me. However, none of those emotions were there. She looked wary but more confused than anything else.She was wary of my approach but confused by my existence. Just as I thought, she had forgotten everything!For an instance, I was filled with hate and anger!How could she forget me?! After leaving and betraying me, how dare she so blithely erased my existence from her life?!After I had given up Rylee to Lionel, Dough was furious with me. If I hadn't killed him immediately, I would have died instead, for sure!She had caused everything, yet she had the audacity to forget about me?! What right did she have?!I glanced at her slender neck, my hand itchy to crush it to relieve some of my resentment. But on the other hand, I felt like Lady Luck was smiling at me.She didn't remember me, so does that mean she forgot everything I did to her? Does
(Rylee's POV)"Rylee! Noah! it's time to eat!" Emily called out as she stood at the table wearing an apron. She had one hand on her waist and a spatula in the other."Got it!" I replied, patting Noah's head. "Come on, let's go wash our hands.""Okay!" Noah nodded happily and ran off to do so.Noah was Emily's son, who was seven years old this year. He was currently my student. It's been two weeks since Bruce helped me rent a small house in this town and got me a job as a tutor.Usually, when I give children lessons in their homes, their parents occasionally prepare lunch as thanks.Emily was a single mother whose husband had died in the war, leaving her to raise her children alone. The good thing was that she was optimistic and strong and could survive independently.When I saw her, I was somehow relieved.Love wasn't the only important thing in a person's life, as there were many other things to look forward to. There was no need for me to be limited in the world because of Lionel's
"Ben!" Lionel roared. "Take her away!" "I won't leave!" I cried in response. "Lionel, I know about everything! All of it! You liar! Why didn't you tell me that you let Bruce take me to save my life? Why didn't you tell me you ruined your hand to rescue me? Why?!"Lionel didn't answer, but he lowered his head, a soft gaze in his eyes that he would never show as a king."Is he the only one in your eyes?!" Bruce growled at me while I waited for Lionel's answer. "I'm also your fucking mate, you know?!"I slowly turned to glare at Bruce, then sneered, "You've only been using me from the start! I'm only a tool in your eyes!"Bruce was stunned. "What are you talking about? I went out of my way to wage war against the Blood Shadow Pack to take you back! I did all of this for you!""Enough!" I screamed. "Did you really think I'm stupid?"I made my way slowly toward Lionel and Bruce. "I still remember the story you told me about your life. If I'm not mistaken, the father you spoke about... It'
After three days of traveling, I finally saw Stacey again. She and Ben had worked out all their troubles and even had a son.Stacey was excited when she saw me."You finally remembered?" she asked."Yes," I replied with a smile. When I looked at the familiar surroundings of the Moon House, I felt warm inside.Stacey had tears in her eyes and choked up when she saw my round belly. "It'll be okay. I'll treat your baby as my own. We'll raise them together, okay?"I nodded gratefully, and we hugged each other tightly.A week later, I gave birth smoothly to twins with Stacey's help. As if verifying the existence of my past and life, I gave birth to two daughters.However, I vowed that I would never let them experience the same miserable fate I did. I would love them both equally and ensure they grew up healthy and happy."Have you thought of names for them?" Stacey asked once everything had settled down."Yeah," I responded as I cooed at them. "Their names will be Celest and Elsine.""They
"You still want to leave me, don't you?" Lionel asked calmly from where he sat on the couch.I was silent for a while before I said, "I thought you already knew the answer to that.""So, no matter what I do, I can't convince you to stay," Lionel said with a smile."That's right. Staying by your side will only make me recall the painful memories repeatedly," I said.Lionel closed his eyes, the veins on his forehead growing more prominent as the minutes ticked by. After a few moments, he opened his eyes and said hoarsely, "Okay." I was dumbfounded. Had I misheard him?"W-what did you say?""I said okay. Leave. Take the baby... and leave," Lionel said."Why would you-""I don't want you to suffer anymore, and I don't want to suffer anymore either because of you," Lionel cut me off, the smile still on his lips. "I know you'll never forgive me, so... I won't trap you here anymore."With that said, he got up to leave. Before he exited the room, he stopped and said, "I'll have someone pack
Two months later, I was sitting by the window and caressing my round belly when the butler came to me and said, "My lady, the Blue Moon Pack's Alpha and Luna are here for a visit."I stayed silent for a while as I continued to rub my stomach before finally saying, "Let them in.""Understood."After the butler left, Rina asked, 'Are you actually willing to meet them?''No,' I replied easily.'Then why did you let them in?' 'I'm simply curious...' I chucked mockingly. 'I wonder... What do they have to talk to me about now that things have reached this point?'The door to the room opened once more, and my parents walked in. Unlike what I remembered, they looked much older now. Their heads were full of visible white hair, and the wrinkles on their faces were prominent, especially on my father's. He was no longer the towering and intimidating Alpha, and the vicissitudes of age and helplessness were obvious in his eyes.As required by etiquette, they gave me a respectful salute. I waved m
I never thought I would learn the truth of my past this way, and I didn't expect to feel calm while listening to Jenna speak. As the tale unraveled, it felt like someone was picking apart old scars on my skin and making them bleed. However, I simply stood quietly, listening to the woman huddled in the cage as she recounted the memories. It felt surreal, like listening to stories I was not part of, even though I played a huge role in them.Jenna spoke for a long time, and once her trembling voice stopped, it was a long time before I finally said, "I'll release you once the ship docks at the shore."Jenna was shocked by my mild response. "...Don't you hate me? I... I stole the life that was meant to be yours. I... I even wanted to kill you...""What answer do you want from me?" I shot back at her with a mocking smile. "If you were me, what would you do?"Jenna paled instantly at my words.I signed and turned to leave, ignoring the hysterical sobs that broke out behind me. I leaned on t
"What did you say?" I asked. I was so shocked that I stopped struggling."Jenna isn't pregnant. She showed up that way to sabotage our relationship," Lionel said.I blinked, confused. "But I clearly saw-""Bring her in!" Lionel suddenly said coldly.The bedroom door opened, and two guards walked in. They carried a she-wolf with messy hair into the room and threw her on the ground. She coughed violently for a while before finally looking up, revealing a familiar face.It... was Jenna!Why was she here?"Tell her," Lionel firmly ordered as he looked at Jenna sternly.Jenna visibly shuddered at the sound of Lionel's voice, curling into a ball as if terrified of him.What exactly had Lionel done to her? Jenna used to be so proud and arrogant, but now she looked like she had a mental breakdown."Don't test my patience," Lionel warned.Jenna trembled even more at that, and she glanced at me before finally stuttering out, "Y-yes... I faked my pregnancy. I wanted to destroy your relationship
I gritted my teeth, tore off the cloth around Lionel's waist, and held his huge member in my hands. After stroking it a few times, it gradually hardened, and I leaned down to take it into my mouth, swallowing as I did.Lionel let out a low, muffled grunt, but his eyes remained closed. He subconsciously snapped his waist upward by instinct, and his member fully hardened after a few minutes of sucking. It was a matter of life and death, so I didn't care how embarrassing the situation was. I pulled off my panties and rubbed my clit, pushing two fingers inside my core and stretching my walls quickly. When I felt wet enough and fluids dripped from between my legs, I straddled Lionel and took his large dick into me in one smooth motion.The sex was rushed, and there was not a hint of pleasure in this exchange. The entire situation was absurd, but I could feel the poison slowly being transferred into my body as my strength drained away quickly. It was working! However, I needed to keep goi
My heart tightened at Lionel's condition. He tried his best to smile, but it came out more like a grimace, then he reached up to touch my cheek. "Don't be scared, Rylee, I..."His eyes slipped closed before he could finish his words, and his body became heavy as he fell unconscious."Lionel! Wake up! Stop scaring me like this, Lionel!"No matter how many times I called his name, Lionel's eyes remained closed. The rain got heavier, and panic seeped into my mind. I looked around, but there was nothing in the clearing save for the trees around us.If we stayed here, Lionel might die. The thought of Lionel's death caused agony to wash over me, and I lost my breath for a moment. No, I couldn't sit here and wait for death! I needed to at least find a place out of the rain.I gritted my teeth, took off my wedding dress, and then wrapped Lionel's shredded clothes around my chest before placing him on my back and walking back along the path we came from."Bastard! You better hold on. If you
(Rylee's POV)Lionel suddenly stopped talking, and I looked up at him only to see a fierce scowl on his face."Shh!" He held a finger to his lips, gesturing for me to keep quiet, followed by a wary look around the area. The rain pounded frantically through the leaves and onto the ground, the rhythm of it sounding like drum beats.Before I could react, a huge blur burst out from the bushes and lunged at us. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust, and I realized it was an unusually large wolf!It's eyes were glittering green, shining fiercely with a maniacal glint. I could practically taste the bloodlust radiating from it!But that was not the worst of it. When the brown wolf shot out, more than a dozen wolves followed behind, their sharp canines glinting and growls echoing in the air.Lionel reacted instantly, slipping his arm around my waist. He lifted me and leaped upward to avoid the brown wolf's attack. I couldn't keep up with the sudden change in momentum and only heard the wind
