Whatever comes will come sooner or later. Titus summoned me to the pack's shared house. As he said, no one was allowed to miss the welcome ceremony for the noble Alphas from the neighboring packs. No matter how strong Black Moon is, it is not allowed to be rude; alone, against many alliance packs, it is very disadvantageous.Although Ryan has allowed me to stay at home and let him take care of it, I don't want him to be awkward in front of Titus, or there will be conflicts between them.I sighed; the distance from that was longer than usual because my legs didn't want to lift.When I got there, almost everyone had gathered. Ryan and Titus were sitting at the top, and Evelyn and everyone close to Ryan was standing behind him.Out of habit, I find the darkest place to sit down.The welcome ceremony took place right after, I kept my head bowed throughout the process because I was not interested, but when I heard about Red River, I still couldn't help but tremble.I wiped my sweaty hands
Erina and Gray quickly moved in front of me.She was shocked when she saw that I was healthy. "Long time no see. It's amazing that you still have enough limbs. When you have just arrived, we have been waiting day and night for your news, but there has been no response. I thought you were….” She paused a moment to look at me."But I didn't expect you could still live well in the hands of someone as brutal as Ryan." Erina scoffed. “Did he abuse you? Surely life here isn't easy either. Does he enslave you or something like that?"I looked up; if Eirna had just insulted me, I wouldn't have bothered, but she was slandering Ryan, which annoyed me immensely. “Alpha Ryan was so good to me.”“Oh? Why do you look so good?" Erina scoffed. “There are wounds all over your body; I guess you are badly tortured. So poor..."She was silent for a moment, then brought her mouth to my ear and whispered. “Are you too afraid of him to admit it?”I furrowed my brows; I felt her jokes were boring, and I want
Gray's face showed no emotion; he looked at Roger nonchalantly and spoke. "I'm not in the habit of shaking hands with strangers."I stared blankly into Gray's emerald green eyes; I didn't dare think he was the same as the man who had awakened me formerly. Even though I knew it was just a play, at least then I saw in Gray joy and tenderness. Did power change him?"Ha," Roger smiled faintly, his eyes colding, then turned to the only man left. "You won't make me lose face, will you?"Alfine has always acted differently from the rest of his family. He went up and took Roger's hand. "Hi."Blake was not pleased with Alfine's politeness; he gave his son a warning. “Stop doing meaningless work, Alfine. The person you need to be polite with is Alpha Ryan. Not those who are destined to fail like this.”Roger retracted his hand, turning to me with a superficial expression. “Your family is so snobby.” After saying that, he shrugged, glancing at each of them. "Ugly and likes to look down on others
Gray, standing still for a while, also began to speak. “What happens when you annoy a madman like Ryan? He won't hesitate to break your neck; if that's the case, I won't interfere, so keep your emotions in check."Blake gritted his teeth, his chest heaving violently as if he was holding back his anger. “This time, consider yourself lucky!”Judging from their relationship, I guess Gray doesn't respect Blake either, and there's a lot of tension between them.Suddenly Erina grabbed Blake's arm. “Father, let's go. He's coming." Erina trembled as she looked into the distance.Gray also frowned, turning to leave first. The others who followed in his footsteps quickly disappeared. Even Roger shrugged. "Take care; I'll go first.""What is going on?" I tried to ask Roger, but he disappeared faster than the wind.But soon, my questions and concerns were answered.“Why come here? I have permitted you to stay at home.” Ryan asked; He has just hosted the others and now has a little free time.I ma
Ryan POVI began to have an uneasy feeling in my heart when more than two hours had passed, and Erza still hadn't called to inform me that she was okay. Erza is meticulous and doesn't like to worry others; she certainly couldn't forget to tell me.But the tricky thing now is that I can't leave the party.It would be great if Max were here now, but I gave him another mission a while ago. Losing a strong arm is not pleasant.The wolf inside me started to get annoyed; it growled. “We must get out of here immediately; I have a horrible feeling.”I frowned and answered brusquely. “I know that, but...”“Stop the bullshit parties. Is it as important as our mate?” My wolf grumbled. "You're a weakling; you wouldn't dare leave here or let me do it for you.""Be quiet!" I am grumpy.Suddenly a thought flashed into my head."I've come up with a way to satisfy both," I say with certainty."Are you sure? If it's not okay, we have to go find her." My wolf is disgruntled. “We used to promise no matte
Since receiving the text from Roger, my wolf has almost lost control; it screams, even goes crazy, and makes a mess. “Go now; I can't stay here another second. If you hesitate, I will get out and control us.”I furrowed my brows, admitting that I don't like anyone to give me orders or be scared, but now I have the same thoughts as him. Regardless of the consequences, I left the party to Evelyn and promptly drove back to the mansion. Although Titus warned me about it, my concern now is the safety of my mate.Although Erza has been strong quite a bit since the day she followed Evelyn in training. But she is still a human; when her weapon is taken, she loses her ability to fight. And no one would be stupid enough to let her keep an electric whip with her.The quiet and dark space in front of me made me shiver non-stop. In the distance, I saw Roger standing before the door, brooding over something.As soon as he saw me, Roger asked seriously. “What should we do next?”“Have you found the
All night, I didn't sleep; I was like a soulless person looking at the flashing emergency room.Roger didn't leave either; he stayed by my side all night and regularly checked the news. There was no clear answer, but I could guess the outcome because every time he finished looking at the phone, his eyes were only filled with disappointment and guilt, not daring to look me in the face.Near dawn, I lowered my face and raised my voice hoarsely. "Any news yet?""Not yet." Roger shook his head, cautiously observing my expression before saying his following sentence. “I am afraid the search is more difficult than we previously planned. If it's bad, the search could take a few days."Hearing this, I impatiently grabbed Roger by the collar, stared at him, and roared. “Useless, a bunch of people who claim to be the best but still can't find a single person. If so, what do I need you for?"Roger was so tight it was hard to breathe; he tried to explain. “I know you are worried, but please calm
After saying that, I left; I went to the training ground and stood alone for a long time. With all my might, I rolled my hand and punched the tree in front of me. The trunk trembled, and the leaves rustled down like rain.A feeling of helplessness fills my body. For the first time in my life, I didn't know what to do but sit there stupidly.“Stop blaming yourself, Ryan. You did your best too.” My wolf comforts."What can I do? I have always prided myself on a strong werewolf and a noble Alpha. But now I can't even protect my mate?" I screamed, frantically punching the tree trunk.My wolf sighed. “Instead of venting your anger at the tree, bandage your wound first.”"Wound?" I frowned.At this point, I looked down; the back of my hand was crushed, and there was blood everywhere."We'll go to the forest to find her." My wolf makes a suggestion. “I can't wait too, and I don't want to stay like that, Ryan, you know what I mean?”I suppressed my temper. "I understand."“So what are you wai
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
