Sharmaine's POVI had only returned to the Pack center when Titus called me. His attitude was furious, like someone had angered him, so he took out his anger on me.Titus scolded me terribly, using all the words that could offend me. I imagine if I were in front of him right now, he might have hit me. Luckily, he and I are talking on the phone.I speculate that Titus knew Darian had made a feat on the western border. Maybe the two of them had met face-to-face and provoked each other, so Titus was so angry. Therefore, Titus wanted to kill Darian more quickly.I don't want to hear Titus vent his anger, keep the phone away from me, and pick his ears. After a while, when I could no longer hear the sound from the phone, I picked it up.Titus stopped cursing now; he said, "I give you three more days; if within three days Darian doesn't die, then you're dead."I understood what was meant by Titus' words. If Darian does not die, then Titus will reveal my identity; at this time, I will be cond
Before long, Darina appeared in the dining room. I smiled at him, but in my heart, I was very nervous, worried about being discovered by him.I tried my best to suppress my emotions so that Darian wouldn't notice, but it seemed that my repression made my face very unsightly, my smile highly forced. That made Darian suspicious.He probed, "Are you OK? I see your face is not good! Do you have something you want to tell me?"I quickly shook my head and replied, "No! I'm OK! Nothing!"Initially, I wanted Darian not to doubt me, but I couldn't control my excessive actions because I was too nervous and nervous. After I finished answering, I knew I had expressed my emotions too much, so I immediately sat still, not daring to move.Darian was even more suspicious, coldly looking at me, but he didn't know what I did wrong, so he didn't know how to question me.The atmosphere became very quiet and stuffy. I know if this continues, Darian will get angry and leave; he won't get poisoned. So I qui
I worried one night and could not sleep. Darian confiscated my phone. I'm afraid he'll see a text from Titus, and either or Titus accidentally calls me while Darian holds my phone. So I purposely broke my phone.I knew that would make Darian more suspicious of me, but I had no choice.I stayed in my room for a day, completely unaware of the news outside. Maya brought food to my room on time. Whenever she appeared, I asked her about the situation outside and if there was any shocking news.Maya looked confused and said there was no hot news today. She saw my face was not good and comforted me with a few words. I smiled wryly, but inside, I couldn't be reassured.That evening, Maya informed me that Darian would not be returning. I wasn't surprised because I knew Darian wouldn't be around if he hadn't determined that I was the one who poisoned him.Luckily, Darian didn't search my room. If he finds the poison tools in my room, I have a hundred mouths that can't be explained.Maybe Darian
I heard Alpha Harold discuss putting Darian at a disadvantage, and my eyes fluttered open. I replied, "I know! I will do my duty as a wife. Absolutely no harm to Darian!"I thought about how I poisoned Darian. I don't know if he has investigated anything or will agree to continue this marriage. I impatiently asked Alpha Harold, "Does Darian know about this? Does he still accept me as his wife? I don't think he'll continue his marriage to me!"Alpha Harold saw that I was worried about something serious, but when he heard my questions, he became very relaxed. He said, "Earlier, Darian and I talked about this. Darian is the one who offered to continue the marriage with you. Do not worry!"The stone that had weighed heavily on my heart these past few days gradually disappeared. My heart suddenly felt a lot lighter; I felt more breathing. I was both excited and confused and didn't understand why Darian would accept my continuing as his wife.Couldn't he find out that I poisoned him? Only t
Today's party is on a smaller scale than the party on my wedding day with Darian. However, the guests all arrived very full. Maybe it was because they respected Alpha Harold that they came to this party.When the party started, Darian and I appeared from the stairs going down. He and I were both dressed in splendid vestments. Under the twinkling lights, our beauty shines even more. Everyone seemed overwhelmed as soon as they saw us.When my hand wrapped around Darian's arm, I still smiled delicately at everyone on the outside, but inside I was highly insecure and panicking.I saw Luna Layla standing beside Alpha Harold. Her face darkened, her eyes filled with anger. No one saw Luna Layla's strange behavior because everyone was focused on Darian and me. At this point, I am more confident that Luna Layla is the one who masterminded the destruction of my vestment.My and Darian's dance under the lights opened the party, just like at our wedding reception. His masculine scent filled my no
The moment I thought I would die, Titus's hand let go of my neck. I fell to the ground, tears, and snot flowing out of my eyes uncontrollably. I greedily inhaled a lot of air to compensate for the lost oxygen. Right now, I don't care what's going on around me. It seemed that Titus was fighting with someone.Soon, my arm was grabbed by a large, cold hand, pulling me to my feet. My steps were wobbly, soft, without any strength, so that I couldn't stand. My body wobbled, falling into someone's hard chest.A familiar masculine scent entered the tip of my nose and calmed my panic. My neck ached, but I raised my head, seeing the perfect angle of Darian's face.My heart suddenly skipped a beat. My mind was filled with images of Darian.Suddenly, Darian's cold gaze glanced at me, startling me and my spirit returning to consciousness. His cold and clear eyes made my heart tremble involuntarily.I was embarrassed, so I rolled my eyes, avoiding his gaze. At this moment, I saw the struggling imag
After the party at Moon Castle, I returned to my usual quiet life at Darian's mansion. One month has passed. The reason I was able to live peacefully was because I didn't step out of the mansion at all. I know that if I go out, there are people who are mean to me who may criticize and harm me. Therefore, I don't want to leave the mansion without the necessary events.I thought long and hard about apologizing to Darian, but I didn't get a chance to apologize to him because, since the time we had a party at Moon Castle, I hadn't seen him even once. He wants to avoid me, so he doesn't return to his mansion anymore. That made me very sad.Although hanging around in the mansion, I didn't feel bored because I was used to living alone in Dead Forest. The living environment and adverse effects of people in Dead Forest have turned me from an active person to a closed person. Sometimes moments alone are the happiest and most comfortable times.More than that, now I don't live alone. I was havin
I went into the toilet and carefully closed the door. Then, I opened my bag; inside was still full of my belongings, and a beautiful, sparkling bracelet was only in a small compartment. I just saw that the bracelet is expensive because it has many diamonds.I narrowed my eyes, confident that this was a plot to affect my honor.If I knew someone harmed me, I could not continue to carry this bracelet out, but I thought for a while and still didn't know where to put this bracelet.I couldn't stay in the toilet for too long to avoid suspicion, so I had to leave.I watched everyone at the party. A pair of eyes silently see me. I quickly realized it was a girl's gaze. When I looked in her direction, she quickly turned away, avoiding my gaze.I can tell she's Wendy's friend who was with Wendy last time, and her name is Emily. I didn't look at Emily glaringly. I silently walked over to the food stall beside her, my gaze involuntarily falling on her a few times. My actions are natural and do n
Amanda and Erza almost fought but were separated in time. This commotion also attracted Alpha Harold and Darian."What happened here?" Alpha Harold asked solemnly.Everyone took the initiative to separate so that Alpha Harold and Darian could easily see Erza and Amanda.Erza quickly accused us first, "They bullied me. I just wanted to give Sharmaine some good advice, but she and Amanda scolded me."Amanda immediately objected, "No! You insulted Sharmaine, so I stood up for Sharmaine." Amanda looked at Alpha and said, "Please be fair!"Erza looked pitiful towards Alpha, "I didn't insult Sharmaine. I just gave her some good advice. Amanda misunderstood me and scolded me. She even wanted to hit me. I have never suffered such humiliation. It would be best if you treated me fairly. If not, I will tell my father."Although Erza appeared resentful, her words carried a menacing meaning that disgusted Alpha Harold and everyone.Darian walked up next to me as he walked past Erza. She thought Da
Titus deliberately did not hit me in my vital places, which did not end the battle quickly. He was playing with me like he was playing with a toy. He didn't even bother to transform into a wolf to prove to everyone that he could still defeat me, even if he were in human form.Elmer kept screaming in my head; he didn't want to endure this considerable humiliation, so he tried to restrain me so I could transform into a wolf, but I held back.I had to endure Titus's blows and suppress Elmer's desire to be liberated. For a moment, I fell into a challenging situation. Every cell in my body was hot; the blood in my body was boiling with anger and discomfort, but because of Sharmaine, I had to grit my teeth and endure.The more Titus fought, the more excited and aggressive he became. Not only did he beat me, but he also hurled many insults and curses at me. It was like this was the opportunity he had been waiting for so long to take revenge on me. I could only look at him with hateful eyes,
Round two ended with 134 people remaining. I rose to the top 1, making Titus very bitter. He immediately ordered his subordinates to stir up social media with news, reminding the people that I do not have a wolf soul. People admired my strength and intelligence but were still afraid of someone like me without a wolf soul becoming their Alpha. People always believe that Alpha without a wolf soul will weaken the pack.I didn't care about public opinion and quickly returned to my villa to celebrate with Sharmaine."Lady Sharmaine has arrived at Moon Castle, Sir!" Maya said."What did she come to Moon Castle for? How long has she been gone?" I asked, feeling uneasy in my heart."She left about half an hour after the second round of the competition started. She received a message from Moon Castle; the content of the message was that Alpha and Luna wanted to meet her." Maya replied. She still trembles when facing me.If it were a text message from Moon Castle, I wouldn't have needed to worr
The car has directions, so I don't have to worry about getting lost. After leaving the forest, I entered the highway. I drove at a speed as fast as the wind. I relaxed because I had left the forest. I hoped to find a car on the road, but the road was very deserted; there was no car other than mine.Because it is a highway, both sides are empty lots full of weeds or desolate and dry land with no houses. After driving for about fifteen minutes, I saw a black car before me. I should have been glad I was seeking help, but I didn't understand why my gut told me I shouldn't stop.My car and that black car were getting closer and closer to each other because both cars were running at a fast speed, so the time was only measured in seconds. I didn't have time to think, so I finally followed my hunch. When my car and that black car passed each other, I could see that inside that car were two men with ordinary faces. They also saw me, and our eyes met for less than a second.When my car passed t
When Mira touched me, I suddenly opened my eyes and threw the bottle of paralyzing poison into her face.Mira was surprised, so she screamed, instinctively covering her face with her hands, but it was too late; she had inhaled the toxic powder. But this type of poison does not work immediately; it takes three to five minutes to take effect. So, for now, Mira still has strength.When Mira panicked because of the poisonous powder, I sat up and kicked Mira's stomach, causing her to move backward. Then I got out of the car.Mira was a warrior with many years of training and quickly regained her composure. She rushed to control my hands when I tried to open the car's front door."Damned! Damn whore! Why are you still awake?" Mira was angry.Mira didn't know I knew martial arts, so she wasn't prepared. I forcefully freed myself from her and turned around to punch her in the chest. Mira was pushed backward.When she saw me doing a martial arts pose, her eyes widened in surprise. She said, "Y
*Sharmaine's POVThe competition had only started a few minutes, so there was no tension. What I'm looking forward to is seeing the transformation maze. People watch this round not just to see players fight each other but to learn about the mystery of the Mystical Maze.I had heard of Mystical Maze before, but I hadn't had a chance to see pictures or information about it. Mystical Maze is considered a military secret of the Dark Moon Pack. This place makes other Packs tremble with fear and curiosity, so images or information about Mystical Maze are never disclosed to other Packs.Although information still leaks out, ordinary people never know it, and that information is not considered accurate because Mystical Maze is constantly changing.Compared to looking for the moment Darian appeared on screen, I was much more interested in Mystical Maze. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I waited attentively until the screen shook, the contestants' faces panicked, and a few embarrassing m
Contestants have one day to rest before starting round two. Round two is called Mystical Maze. In Dark Moon, a vast underground maze is located under military region 4. It was built a long time ago; the original purpose was to use it as a shelter for soldiers if there was a sudden enemy attack, a place to lure the enemy and then kill them enemy. This maze was a massive fear for enemies who had lost in military Region 4.Later, the maze was repaired and improved. It is used as a training ground for soldiers or a place for rigorous tests in the military. This maze was challenging for the soldiers, making them struggle and bitter.In the maze, there are many mysterious traps. You may lose your life immediately if you accidentally touch an underground organ. In addition, there are also wild animals in the maze, such as lions, bears, poisonous bats, and so on. The maze includes high-tech traps such as lasers and robots. In general, a maze is a challenge that requires the player to have mor
Closer to the finish line, we met more teams and fought more. Teams near the finish line are divided into two types: having many cards and no cards. Teams with many cards do so because they want to reduce competition in the next round, so instead of just stealing one card, which is enough, they decide to steal many cards to eliminate more teams. The team still hasn't earned any cards because they were stolen, but they don't give up; they want to set a trap to steal the teams' cards that come later.No matter which team we face, we can easily win. Because the abilities of my four teammates are strong, plus I have leadership abilities, and we work together very well, almost no team can make things difficult for us.A few teams use hidden tricks such as anesthetics, hallucinogens, or some poison that does not affect life but affects fighting ability. We did not falter because of those dastardly tricks because before entering the competition, Sharmaine had prepared an antidote for me that
*Darian's POVThe competition occurred four days ago, and my teammates and I have gone halfway. Currently, we are stopping in a forest to rest."Our journey was so smooth, no team dared to attack our team intentionally," Amanda said."If we keep going like this, we will reach our destination two days before the end of round one," Michael said excitedly."Don't be so happy. Do you want to reach your destination without two cards? Even if we arrive early, we will still be eliminated from the competition." Logan said thoughtfully."Don't worry, we will meet our opponents in the following days." Kevin was grilling fish but still joined in the conversation.The allowed time for this contest is ten days, a reasonable time the organizers calculated. If the participant is not disadvantaged, he can reach the destination within nine days, or if he runs non-stop, he can reach the destination much sooner. The extra time is for teams to fight each other and recover their health.I don't participat
