Early morning, I sat on the cliff, looking blankly into the distance.Behind me came a heavy footstep, and without turning, I knew it was Alfine.“I have something to ask you.” Alfine's voice was hoarse.I tilted my head and saw his eyes were red; I knew what he was going through; the feeling of losing a loved one was terrible. I want to say a few words of comfort, but I don't know where to start. Furthermore, Alfine prefers actions to words."Keep talking." I jumped down, standing parallel to Alfine.Alfine lowered his face for a long moment as if pondering over something, then he asked. “Before he died, did my father say anything to you? I mean his last wish.”“He wants us to find and bring Erina back,” I recall Blake's series of distressed expressions before his death that made me highly uncomfortable."Ah, I know," Alfine said sadly, then turned away. "We are returning. My scent masking techniques disappeared, and they will quickly come here, with our situation very dangerous."I
Alfine frowned, hesitated for a long time, but finally shook his head. “Three days ago, I accidentally went out for a walk and overheard a secret conversation between Alpha Ryan and former Beta Jason. Coincidentally, that story relates to Caser; there is also Alpha Ryan.”An uneasy feeling arose in my heart; I clenched my sweaty hands tightly and asked. “What do they say? Can you tell me?”“They've been talking for three days; if by now Alpha Ryan hasn't told you, he probably doesn't want you to know; I think he's got a dilemma. Either way, it's his own business, or if you go and ask him, it would be more appropriate to hear it from me." Alfine furrowed his brows.I looked at him momentarily but didn't want to embarrass him either. I know Alfine appreciates and respects Ryan after all he has done for Red River, and so am I. So now, instead of forcing him, I must talk to Ryan.“Okay, I know what I need to do; thank you,” I say.After saying goodbye to Alfine, I walked back to the mansi
I smiled wryly, slowly shaking my head at him. “It didn't work for me, Ryan. Every night I feel your pain; it's terrible like it eats away at our hearts; it's scarier than lava or acid; it's a rat with sharp teeth that gnaws every day inside our organs. If we don't find a way to solve it, if we don't stop it, our entire internal organs will be eaten clean, dying unsightly."Ryan stroked my face with his fingers, gentleness mixed with helplessness, he said. “We should stop here today.”As he turned away, I hugged him from behind, my face against his back, and said softly. “I want to share with you. Didn't you say we are mates? Would you agree if I had something unpleasant to hide from you?"After listening to my persuasion, Ryan reluctantly turned his head; he sighed wearily. “Erza, what do I do now?”I'm heartbroken, but I don't know how to help him. Previously, I thought Ryan was always a cold, emotionless person, never weak; in him, he only saw a solid and brilliant Alpha aura. But
In the middle of the night, when I was dreaming in my sleep, I felt Ryan's body struggling fiercely; he turned around to hug me tightly, burying his face in the socket of my neck, until after a while, his breath calmed down.I gently stroked his back and softly asked. "Having a nightmare?"Ryan didn't answer, just hugged me tighter, like he was afraid I would turn into the air and fly away.This time I didn't ask anymore; I just maintained that posture for a long time. Ryan suddenly sat up; he looked at me intensely; under the light, it became sharper than ever. “Did I shock you? So sorry."I shook my head, smiling to reassure him.Ryan looked at me for a second and then turned away; he walked to the door, and I asked. "Where are you going?"“I went into the library to look for an item.” He answered briefly and left the room.I follow Ryan's back until the door closes; I still can't sleep, and sometimes my heart aches again. I leaned my head against the window and stared out into the
“Are you the one appointed to take the blame?” Titus pursed his lips cunningly, his expression extremely bad.I didn't care what he said; I moved a little closer. "I'll stop your bleeding."Titus raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to signal me to stop, he said sarcastically. "It's no use; I’m not only wounded in the skin but also poisoned, so I can't live much longer.""What did you say? Poisoned?” Now I'm even more confident that I'm trapped.Titus climbed into his usual chair, one hand pressed to the incision in his stomach, the other pointed to the pot of stewed chicken. “Without that damn potion, do you think a commoner like her could hurt me?”"Who is that?" I frowned.Titus looked at me, the corners of his lips quirking up mockingly. “Why should I tell you? Although I don't intend to force blame you, there is no reason to help you either. I can only tell you, this person is very close to you, very familiar with you.”After saying this, I felt Titus's breathing getting weake
That night I could not sleep; I clasped my hands, curled up, and sat in a dark corner.I held that position for a long time, so long that my limbs went numb, and I gradually lost all feeling.“Ahhhhh, please spare us, please….”From the cell, next door came the sound of people crying and crying. The screams in the middle of the night became louder and more painful. That was the number of prisoners taken back in the battle a few days ago. I'm thinking, where will their fate go? Will they be sent to the slave areas to serve the pack, or will they be executed to show respect in front of everyone?Then after them, what will be my fate?I lay my head on the space between my knees, crying for the first time since I was brought here. I hugged my cold body and tilted my head to look at the silent cell. I am predestined for places like this; this is the third time I have experienced this suffocating hell-like feeling.However, this time is a little different from the previous times. This time
I suddenly remembered the medicine put in Titus' chicken pot; I asked. “Have you checked the kitchen yet? Besides, what kind of medicine was put in there, do you know?"Evelyn frowned, remembering seriously, and then hurriedly spoke. "Have. Lagan did the research; he said it was a powder made from a rare plant called Death. It does not affect humans but is a deadly poison for werewolves. Once hit, the whole body will lose strength, the internal organs start bleeding, and finally die."There was a glimmer of confusion in my heart. Death is grass grown in the human territory; although it is not too rare, it is forbidden to be brought into werewolf territory. Except for the hospital, if anyone else is found in possession, they can be executed without explanation, but who got it into the Black Moon?"What did the kitchen say?" I ask."They do not know. They cook as usual.” Evelyn sighed helplessly, then spoke angrily. “I don't understand why the news spreads so quickly; the things that ar
Ryan POV:I watched the camera again the day my father passed away. As usual, at each meal, only someone brought him food and then returned, and no one showed any suspicious expression. However, the camera was touched by someone in a segment, causing the received image to be noisy. How the house became chaotic, and during that time, everyone who entered became confused. Only when Erza walked in was the camera restored, and all the evidence at the scene pointed to her, which gave me a headache.Recently, two opinions have arisen in the pack: one is that I want to execute Erza immediately, and the other is that I send her to the slavery area for life.'You know she's innocent, don't you, Ryan?' Andrew asked sadly; since the day I arrested Erza, he also disappeared, only to reappear today.I sighed, deeply saddened in my heart. 'I understand, but I can't openly defend her. You should know that the suspect involved in the death of an Alpha, whether unjustly or not, must be executed. Altho
Since that day, Ryan has become overzealous in everything that concerns me. He was always beside me day and night, worried that something would happen to me.But suddenly, in the fourth month of my pregnancy, Ryan disappeared for a day, and instead, Evelyn and Diana came to talk to me to ease my boredom.When I asked, they said Ryan was busy with something but asked more; no one would say.In the evening, Diana and Evelyn took me out, saying that a new restaurant had opened and wanted to go there with me to try it out.From the moment I became pregnant, I became lazy, and under Ryan's extreme care, I rarely went out. This is a rare occasion when I leave the house without Ryan's presence, making me feel a bit absent.My particular driver is Max. "It is an honor to let a Beta be my chauffeur." I joke.Max laughed. "Luna is exaggerating."He had just finished talking when the car also stopped when he was about to get off the car, suddenly Max received a call and hurriedly said. "It's not
Erza's POV:After Kent's death, the internal Blue Forest was as tangled as a pile of cobwebs; because Kent had no children or siblings, the battle for the Alpha position was fierce. With no one willing to give in, the Blue Forest continued civil war and withdrew from the Alliance.Initially, Chad had left the Alliance at first, leaving only Kent and Galvin to support; now that Kent is dead, Galvin, no matter how smart, is not strong enough to resist the powerful forces of Black Moon. n just a short month, Galvin had utterly lost.Galvin is very thoughtful; he knows there is no way to win, so he accepts surrendering to reduce the damage as much as possible. Before being arrested, he also arranged for the next person to become Green Snow's Alpha, so Green Snow's situation is much more stable than Blue Forest's.Even though the Alliance lost, Chad was not spared even though he had been away from it for a while.Chad was found and captured by Roger and Diana in the border area.When I saw
At night, I took the 200 best werewolves into the forest.With Erza's direction, we quickly saw Kent's castle."Erza and I will go inside first; only when you receive my order will you be able to enter," I say."Yes, Sir."Erza and I looked at each other and nodded; we gently went inside to avoid detecting Kent.Erza led me to the place where Erina was being held; in the distance, we heard the sound of fierce fighting."Something must have happened to Erina." Erza is worried."Just keep calm, approach, and see the situation first," I said small.As I approached, I heard Kent scream indignantly. "Whore, I'm going to kill you today; why are you and your sister both so obnoxious? How can you resist my poison? You were supposed to be my puppets; let me control you. And yet that whore Erza broke my control, damn it!"Erina's shrill laugh followed you. "Do you think you can win if you lock me in here? I know I made a mistake when I betrayed Gray; now he must really hate me. If you want to u
Brian's POV:In my sleep, I heard a strange sound like the anguished cry of a wild animal, and I immediately jumped up. In the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes stared at me, its sharp teeth close to my neck but no further action.I was shocked to realize it was Erza; I reached out to turn on the light and looked at her sourly.Somehow, my Erza is losing control entirely and going insane. Her wolf appearance was also unusual; I wouldn't have recognized her without her scent."Erza, what happened to you?" I tried to talk to her but Erza didn't seem to hear.She turned her head to look at me, drooling. In her blood-red eyes, a small corner still looked at me tenderly. Perhaps Erza was trying to counter her crazy side and protect me while I was still asleep."Erza, can you hear me talking?" I said small.Erza, sitting motionless, suddenly glared, and the gentleness in her eyes also disappeared. She looked at me with utter hatred in her bones; she charged at me madly. I bet my heart coul
Erza's POV:Since my return, Ryan has been very different. He kept staring at me constantly like I would disappear if he left me for a second. At times I feel amused but more than just helpless. Recently Ryan has become overly concerned with me; he stays by my side all day long and doesn't let me leave his attention one bit. Even worse, if he had an urgent need to leave, he would call Diana over to watch over me like a child.I sighed, even though I enjoyed being with him and also understood how much he cared for me. But sometimes I feel stuck; I need some alone time, but that's not allowed.But I don't understand what he is worried about. I just accidentally fell and fainted, nothing too big; why is he so scared?"You really don't remember anything?" Diana asked me curiously."Remember what?" I asked the opposite.Diana frowned. "Where did you end up that morning?"I propped my chin dejectedly. "I explained it many times; I went out to survey and accidentally fell.""Not true; you ta
"Ryan, how are you?" Erza pulled my hand away; looking into her calm eyes made my heart feel lighter, but the fear that hadn't dissipated made my hand tremble."Where have you been?" I asked weakly in a low voice.Erza didn't rush to answer me. Instead, her gaze fell on my hand, and she frowned. "Why are you injured?""It's not important right now, Erza; answer me." I almost screamed at the last sentence, and I'm afraid just a little more I'm worried I'll die.Erza blinked in surprise at my attitude, and she didn't understand what I was saying, she whispered comfortingly. "Do not worry. In the morning, I went to survey the terrain around here, unexpectedly slipped, so I fell, then I lost consciousness; I just woke up just now."I'm selling suspicious news, Erza has no reason to lie to me, but there are a lot of irregularities in this."I'll bandage your wound first." Erza gently pulled my hand into the room and gently disinfected me. "Are you hurt?""No pain." I slowly shook my head;
Ryan POV:I just got back from packing house to track everyone's workout progress. The situation outside the border has recently become tense, so I do not have a moment to rest correctly. And this is a rare moment at the end of the day. I lay down on the bed and started thinking about Erza, and I hadn't seen her in a long time. I sighed and took out my phone, hesitating for a moment, still not knowing whether to call or not. I know her place is also very stressful; maybe she is resting right now; I shouldn't bother her.But I don't know why; I still feel insecure all day today. I was uncomfortable lying on the bed, finally decided to call.I was looking forward to hearing her sweet voice, but all I got in return was a cold, unreachable line.'What the hell is going on? Erza will never turn off her phone because she knows we'll always miss her.' Andrew started to complain, annoyed; for the past few days, he's been urging me to visit Erza, but now, lost contact made him almost insane.'
"Erina, I don't want to hurt you; please stop! I'm Erza, your little sister!" I tried to avoid and recommend it, but it didn't help.When I looked at Kent and Violet, I could see that they were smiling in satisfaction at Erina's frantic expression.Violet clapped her hands excitedly. "Well done, Erina; if you bite her to death, I'll give you more medicine.""What medicine did you give her in the end?" I had difficulty dodging Erina's dangerous attacks.Not only is she bigger, but her strength and speed have also increased a lot compared to before; just dodging makes me so tired that I can't breathe. But Erina is like a fighting machine, and she doesn't get tired or know pain.The only thing she did was bared her sharp iron teeth towards me and charged."A good medicine that I just made, and someone experimented with it, and I immediately gave it to her." Violet stroked her hair; she sat on Kent's lap and leaned against his chest. "Do you think I'm doing well? She can't distinguish any
I finally stopped the car before the castle gate and followed the man leading the way inside. Only now did I understand why it was called a living maze? The terrain inside was highly complicated; no matter how hard I tried to memorize the route, it became useless after the next door was opened. I'm afraid everyone will bury themselves alive inside this massive structure without a map.The man led me to a blue room with three skulls hanging in front of the door, which I judged to be the real thing.I don't know who is unhappy, dead, and can't rest in peace, forced to become a 'decoration' like this."Alpha Kent is waiting for you inside, and he will be happy if you come." The man lowered his head, maintaining a fake smile.I pushed open the door and entered; suddenly, a flash of light followed, followed by a loud explosion of firecrackers.Kent appeared in a suit out of the shadows, but his smile was perverted. "I've been waiting for you for so long, and you know how I can't wait to se
