The harsh sunlight hit my eyes. I was upset, so I woke up in a hazy state. My body was so tired as if it had been run over by a car, that I didn't want to move. I wanted to turn around because I was avoiding the sunlight, but someone's arm wrapped around my waist so that I couldn't move.I suddenly opened my eyes wide because I felt someone's naked body behind me. I jumped, wanting to get up, but the arm around my waist stopped me.Crazy memories flashed through my mind. I realized that the person who was hugging me was Darian. Last night, he and I made love. My face grew hot as I recalled the details of last night.Darian is like a wild animal; he's fierce, crazy, and passionate. Different from his usual cold appearance. I don't remember how many times he tortured me; I fainted when my body couldn't take it anymore.It took a while for me to calm down, but my tears unconsciously streamed down my face because I thought Darian didn't love me. He made love to me just for his routine phy
When I reached the first-floor corridor, I heard Erza's voice calling from behind.“Darian, Darian! Wait for me!”I turned around to see her hurrying towards me.As she approached, I raised my arm to signal her to stop, not to take another step closer to me.She was stunned to see my action but still obediently stood back. She asked, "Darian, where did you go last night? Me and Luna have been looking for you everywhere, afraid of what will happen to you. Are you okay?"I sneered, retorting, "What can happen to me?"Erza said, "At that time, you…" She stopped because she didn't feel right to say something. She thought momentarily and then changed how she spoke, "You were in a drunken state at the time. When you suddenly left, did you know how worried I was for you? Where did you go last night, and what did you do? Were you…"Right now, Erza was like a wife questioning her husband why he was spending the night outside. She skillfully hides her anger, expressing herself as gentle, weak,
I met two soldiers patrolling the cliff. If they hadn't introduced themselves that they were patrols, I wouldn't have recognized them because they were so ordinary. They wore simple casual clothes, walked, and chatted like two friends. I mistakenly thought that they were just ordinary people walking around.When they caught me, they didn't radiate majesty or anger. They just greeted me with simple questions, "Hello. I don't see you as people here. Who are you? Why are you here?""Hello. I'm Sharmaine! I'm new here from elsewhere. I want to find my mother; she lives here." I politely replied.Then, through their few simple introductions, I learned their names were Enoch and Bevis. They are patrol soldiers on patrol duty on this cliff.They offered to help me find my mother, but first, I needed to go to the nearest police station to declare my identity. They say that every tourist here must declare their identity, or they will be charged with breaking in and being evicted Pack.I once h
I woke up in the gentle light of dawn. The emotions in my heart suddenly rushed back. I buried myself in the blanket, trying to suppress my emotions so I wouldn't cry, but I couldn't help it. My tears fell. My body was shaking violently from trying not to make a sound.I don't know how long I cried. Until my body was exhausted and my tears dried up, I felt that crying was not wrong because my heart felt lighter after crying for a while.I rearranged my mood and got out of bed. The sun has ultimately come out, warm sunlight through the window glass, shining on my face. After I cleaned myself and changed clothes, I walked out of the room in a happy mood. I'm still not okay inside, but I want to show happiness so my mother doesn't worry.As soon as I stepped out of the room, the sweet smell of food filled my nasal cavity. I took a deep breath to enjoy this scent. Then I called out loudly, "Mom, are you cooking breakfast? Why don't you wake me up so I can cook with you?"My mother's house
Darian sensed that my mother didn't like him, but he didn't understand why. He looked at me with puzzled eyes.My mother had a wrong impression of Darian when I told her that Darian didn't love me. I smiled wryly at Darian, not wanting to explain to him. After all, he was the one who made me misunderstand, which resulted in my mother's misunderstanding, so he deserved my mother's anger.My mother dragged me back to her bedroom, leaving a bewildered Dairan standing there. I predict that Darian will be unable to sleep tonight because he doesn't understand why my mother hates him. I chuckled inside.My mother pulled me into the room. She sat me on the bed and asked me with a severe expression, "What's going on? You said that Darian doesn't love you, but now that he has come to find you, you're immediately happy again. Did he deceive you?"I pulled my mother beside me and gently explained, "Before that, I thought he didn't love me, so I left. After he explained it to me, I realized it was
During the meal, Darian kept looking in my direction. I knew his eyes were looking at my lips, which made me highly embarrassed. After the meal, my mother still intended to ask Darian to leave, but Darian insisted he did not want to leave.I said to my mother, "Let him sleep in my room. I will sleep with you."I used my eyes to beg her again, and like always, she couldn't refuse me.I wanted to watch TV with Darian in the living room, but my mother forced me to bed early. My mother has given in to me a lot, so I don't want to disobey her anymore. I entered the bedroom with my mother when it was only eight o'clock.I know my mother doesn't go to bed that early. She just wants to talk to me.My mother and I sat across from each other. Her expression was severe and sharp. The situation right now was like she was a police officer interrogating me as a criminal.She asked, "Do you want to continue being Darian's wife?"At this moment, I no longer hesitated like last night. I nodded frankly
Darian says that there will be a contest of warriors at Dark Moon. Alpha Harold held a meeting to discuss with everyone how to organize the contest, and Darian was required to attend that meeting because he was also on the list of organizers. At his age, he should have participated in the competition. Still, because he did not have a wolf soul, he did not want to participate, so Alpha asked him to work on the competition's organizing committee.The meeting was supposed to take place tomorrow. Logan knew that Darian would not return in time, so he asked some Betas who had close relationships with Darian to ask Alpha to postpone the meeting for different reasons. Of course, no one dared to reveal to Alpha Harold that Darian was not in the Pack. The meeting was postponed to five days later.If we travel by plane back to Dark Moon, it will only take about twenty-six hours. Compared to my fourteen-day journey, the plane is the most optimal means of transport. But currently, there is no pla
In the sky, the helicopter was shining bright lights down on us. We wanted to turn around and run back to the old road when, in the bushes, five gray wolves jumped out, blocking our way. They growled, baring their sharp teeth at us."Darian, you should obediently follow us, and you will be safe. If you resist, don't blame us for hurting you." The mechanical voice on the helicopter rang out.I looked at Darian. Sweat was beaded on his forehead, and his breathing was rapid, but there was not a trace of panic on his face. I wouldn't have known he was stressed if his hand hadn't squeezed mine.I vaguely guessed that they were targeting Darian, not me. I wonder, who wants to make things difficult for Darian like that? A name suddenly appeared in my head, but I wasn't sure if I guessed it right."Darian, are you done thinking? Slowly, you walk towards the wolves. Don't resist, and you won't be able to escape." The mechanical voice was a bit impatient.In this case, I don't know what to do.
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
