Sylvie’s POV

The tension in Ray's mansion reached a fever pitch after Carter's threat – but instead of the anger or fear everyone expected, Ray threw his head back and laughed. The sound was so unexpected, so genuinely amused, that even I found myself staring at him in confusion.

"Oh, Carter," Ray said, wiping tears of mirth from his eyes, "you really should have paid more attention during all those strategy meetings."

He clapped his hands sharply, and suddenly the mansion's doors burst open. A dozen wolves I'd never seen before moved with military precision, surrounding the corrupt executives before anyone could react. Their coordination and timing spoke of careful planning and long preparation.

"What is this?" Carter's face had gone from triumphant to ashen in seconds. "You can't—these are pack members! You have no right—"

"Actually," Ray's smile turned predatory, "every single one of these 'executives' signed away their pack rights the moment they accepted Black Gold Group's bribes

    Sylvie’s POVThe moments after Ray's revelation should have been triumphant. The corrupt executives were in custody, Carter's schemes exposed, and Black Gold Group's infiltration of Eastridge Pack revealed. But victory turned to ash in my mouth as I realized something crucial – something that made my blood run cold.In all the chaos and confrontation, I'd lost my mental connection with Oliver.Mandy must have read something in my expression, because her defeated demeanor suddenly shifted. A cruel smile spread across her face as she straightened up, smoothing her designer dress with calculated precision."All these grand revelations," she said, her voice carrying clearly across the now-silent room. "All these clever traps and counter-traps. But tell me, Luna Wolf, have you noticed who's missing from this little drama?"My heart stopped. The question I should have asked hours ago finally crystallized: Where was my son?"What have you done?" The words came out as more growl than speech,

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]Cold sweat beaded my forehead as I glared at Mandy. My whole body trembled in anger and fear, and my ears kept on ringing while I struggled to breathe. I tried to calm myself, but the panic in my head made my eyes see flashes as I blinked fast. I couldn’t remember the last time I felt this awful feeling, but it made me scared of what I could do if Mandy ever did anything bad to my son!But I knew her. I knew what kind of evil she was. And I was sure she would do anything to destroy me and eliminate my child. What should I do? What should I do?!I couldn’t think. One wrong word, one wrong move, and my son would be in danger. Goddess, please, I couldn’t lose my son!The tension in the room was so thick that anyone could cut it. Alpha Ray scowled at Daniel with disappointment, darkening his face. “I couldn’t believe you left Oliver knowing he’s badly hurt, Dan. I raised you better than that.”Dan’s eyes lowered to the floor. His body was rigid with shame and fear

    [ALPHA RAY’s Point of View]My heart and mind froze when I saw the blade glinting under the bright light of the crystal chandelier.As I saw Sylvie point the blade at her own chest, terror crawled up to my neck. I saw black and red as my vision blurred and lightning ran all over my body as I moved to stop Sylvie from harming herself.The blade was only a few inches above her chest when I reached for her hand, begging for her to let go of the weapon. Sylvie gave me a baffled look. Her face was flustered and pale and she was ready to die if it meant her son would survive.“Not like this, Sylvie.” My jaw tightened but my voice was soft and pleading as I stared into her teary eyes. “Not like this.”Sylvie bit her lip and her body trembled. But she didn’t let go of the blade despite the shaking of her hands. She had been enduring all her fears and the insults that people threw at her, and I couldn’t suppress or pretend anymore that I wasn’t affected by it. My eyes darted at Mandy as I fel

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]“Alpha Ray, what are you saying?”“Sylvie, let me do this for you.”“You don’t have to—”“Shhh… I want to. I will never let anything happen to you or to Oliver, Vie. Trust me, please.”His body was tense but his eyes were soft. Our eyes locked for a minute that felt like forever. He wasn’t giving up yet. Ray didn’t want me to give up as well.All I could do was weep, shocked at what Alpha Ray was willing to do for me and my son. All these powers I had been hiding from everyone—the thing I chose to never use or show just to get away from the eyes of the people who annihilated the pack I used to be in—it was all for nothing if I failed to save my only son. The only precious child I had that taught me how to be tough at times when I thought I would never survive on my own. My Oliver, who was my sunshine even during my darkest days and at times when I wanted to give up on life after I lost everything. If he dies, there would be nothing left for me on this earth.

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]“I want her dead, Carter! That’s what we both agreed! I want that woman DEAD!”Mandy’s hysterical screams and cries echoed all over the room, making everyone think she had already lost it. Her strong desire to kill me was driving her to madness and I wanted to feel sorry that a beautiful and smart woman like her had let jealousy destroy her life and her status in Alpha Ray’s pack. I didn’t know what to feel while watching Mandy glare at me like I was the one who destroyed her life—blaming me for everything horrible that was happening to her. Maybe if they didn’t involve my son and put him in danger, I could still forgive her. But at that moment, as we exchanged deadly glares, all I wanted was to tear her and the two *ssholes standing beside her apart so they would never hurt Oliver again.“You let the boy go and half of the pack will be given to them.” Alpha Ray ignored Mandy’s hysteria and focused on Carter, who kept on wiping the beads of sweat forming on h

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]Lucas was enjoying taunting Alpha Ray as I watched them exchange menacing glares.I didn’t know if it was the air that suddenly turned uncomfortably humid or if it was Alpha Ray’s desire to kill Lucas right in front of us. I could tell it from the tension of his body, the stiffness of his jaw, and the glinting of his crimson eyes as he curled his hands into fists.I was flustered when Nolan Porter suddenly clapped his hands with a victorious smile. He looked at me and then at Alpha Ray, confident that he had reversed the situation after Lucas showed up in the hall with his army of werewolves.Even Carter and Mandy relaxed as they walked to Lucas’ side, delighted that their most powerful ally had finally arrived at their aid.That’s when my anxiety kicked in. What will happen to all of us now if we are surrounded by Lucas’ men? It made me worry about Alpha Ray. I knew he was thinking about the situation of his soldiers after the enemies barged in his place. Dav

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]To my surprise, Lucas ignored Mandy, and the woman looked at him as if she couldn’t believe what he just did after he shrugged his shoulders to take her hands off him. On the other hand, I couldn’t take my eyes away from his stare, wary of what he would do next. It was as if he was trying to delve deep into my eyes, reading whatever emotions he thought I was hiding from him. I didn’t want to assume he was still hoping for something from me and the thought only terrified me more, scared that the bond still had a huge effect on him.That cunning look in his eyes was like a predator waiting for its prey. Those brown irises that looked honey under the soft light of the crystal chandelier. That distinct lifting of one corner of his lips, the arrogance in his posture. It made him a different Lucas I knew at that summer camp seventeen years ago. The rage in me gave me a sickening feeling as I remembered how he lured me into a trap that gave me nightmares and left me

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]A gasp broke the silence that fell on everyone.“What are you talking about, Alpha Lucas?” Mandy awkwardly laughed, nervous and confused at what was happening. “What do you mean, son?”Carter must have read the situation, as his face turned pale as he looked at me and then at their boss. “You didn’t tell us you have a past with the Halls, your Grace.”Mandy was furious this time. “Past?! What past? There’s only one thing I can see here, Carter. Sylvie must die with his bastard son!” She turned to Lucas with an anxious smile, “Isn’t that right, your Grace? Isn’t this what you want?”“You all heard me right,” Lucas answered grimly as he glanced at the three. “Sylvie and I had a past and Oliver is my son.” He looked at me and there was a softness in his eyes that made me feel sick in the stomach. He tried to reach for my face to caress again but I refused to be touched, which he took as a huge challenge.Mandy’s face went from stupefied to enraged. She murmured s

    [ALPHA RAY’s Point of View]All I should focus on is determining any threat that might happen to Sylvie.I couldn’t help but admire the woman I chose to be with as she expressed her anguish and her detest against what these aggressors did to her family and her former pack. I thought when I told her about my plan of attending this banquet to let everyone witness the true colors of the Silver Blade Pack using the testimony of the people who experienced their horrible attacks on the northern villages.This was a promise to her that I would do anything to stop Lucas Wright and his father from spreading violence all over the region. I didn’t know how or who suggested that Karl was the right wolf for the position in the parliament. All I knew was they made a huge mistake giving him such power when all Karl knew was bloodshed throughout the years of his service as the Alpha of the Eastridge—which is now known as the Silver Blade.Seeing the outburst of one of my trusted and most skilled sold

  • Alpha's Single-Mother Luna   Chapter 80

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]I took two steps forward with my eyes locked on Karl Wright. Lucas pushed his father behind him and met my glare as if protecting the old man. The gesture made Karl a little unhappy. I bet he hated that his son made him look weak.“Don’t ever think that we came here without proof,” I said to them, and everyone got curious about what kind of proof Alpha Ray and I brought to testify against the Wrights. “Alpha Ray and I had been waiting for this moment to reveal to everyone your true colors. That your intention isn’t as pure as what you are telling these folks.”Karl Wright squinted his eyes, anxious about what Alpha and I had to ruin his plans. Lucas, however, was more concerned about me getting hatred from the crowd despite Alpha Ray’s effort to avert their attention from him. Everyone thought of me as the bringer of bad luck to every pack I used to stay. And the looks they had on Alpha Ray were the kind that they felt bad that he was stuck with me. I didn’t k

    [SYLVIE’s point of View] There was silence as they all looked at the most powerful Alpha of the West region.“I have no idea what you are talking about, Mr. Ray Howard of the Westridge Pack.” Karl Wright laughed as if my mate had said something ridiculous in front of his audience. If there’s something that pleases me, it is the look on his face. Karl couldn’t hide the humiliation on his face as he glared down at us with a crooked smile. Lucas, on the other hand, seemed to have already expected this kind of scene, knowing that I and my mate would contradict their plan, no matter how well they would deliver it.Evil is evil, even in any form.“Everyone here knows of what happened to the Moonlight pack and still chose not to talk about it.” Alpha Ray called out to everyone as he looked around. Hoping to see any shame on their faces. But those people only averted their eyes from us. The others glared, wishing the Wrights didn’t waste their time inviting us to the event. Lucas knew this w

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]“Who is that woman!”All the eyes were on me as I stood with the heaving chest. My mind suddenly panicked when I realized I had done it again—that I had made myself the center of attention after failing to control my temper.But I had no choice. Everyone in that hall thought they were watching and listening to a bastard who could bring glory to the purebloods, but they didn't realize it would cause a catastrophe that would bring the Shifter’s world into peril. And I mean humans versus our kind—I couldn’t imagine that kind of war would break into this region when The Shifter’s Council made it clear that humans were to be protected by our kind for a peaceful relationship with them.That’s what the Moonlight Pack believed—that humans, despite being vulnerable and frail, unlike us shifters, deserved to co-exist in this society. They were never a threat. They were essential to balance our nature to become more sensible to every creature in this world and not to bec

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]“I need to go to the bathroom,” I whispered to my mate as we went to the tables and pretended to get more drinks.“Sure. I’m just here, love.” Alpha Ray’s eyes were wary as he looked around, smiled, and kissed me. “Don’t make it too long.”“Of course,” I smiled back, giving him one sultry stare as I planted a soft kiss again on his lips. He knew I needed time to calm my nerves after everything I had heard from Karl Wright. I saw him look down on my trembling fingers and he held my hand and squeezed it.I went straight to the bathroom. I had to collect myself before I did something stupid. I never wanted to complicate things and make a scene again, just like what happened with me and Giovanni Gordon at the wine tasting in Alpha Ray’s house. I had to keep it cool and play along with the old man. There’s no way I would let them taint my mate’s name because they succeeded in making me the jester of the night and it was frustrating that I couldn’t even do something

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]I felt as if I was going to explode.After Alpha Ray revealed to me the details of Ruby Morgan's attempt to reach out to him to spare her from his wrath for what her father had done to Ray's first mate, my mind was blown after I learned that Lucas' father, Karl Wright, was still alive!My face was red when I lifted my head to face the mirror. I stared at my reflection for about three minutes as I calmed myself down. I never wanted to scream, to break, or to lose control in front of my mate, but knowing that old man was still alive—it was agonizing. A tear rolled down my face, thinking that he was still thriving after what he did to me and my family.“I know nothing about Lucas’s words are worth believing.” I snarled as I glared at my reflection in the mirror.“He sent the invitation with his name on it. I can see he’s taunting us.” Alpha Ray’s voice was full of detest as he stood behind me and looked at the open window of my room. The sheer white curtains danc

    [ALPHA RAY’s Point of View]I knew I could never get away from that nightmare—the tragedy that almost destroyed me several years ago.As much as I wanted to look as if I wasn’t affected by it, I was never good at pretending I was fine after I saw that cursed mark that was tattooed on Ruby Morgan’s skin. There’s no way I could be mistaken. Although the Council of Shifters told me that certain lineages in the Morgan family tree were eradicated after their diabolical way of dealing with their enemies—perhaps the poison, the same poison they used to kill my first mate—deep in me, I knew they still existed. And I was right. One hundred percent right that they were only hiding. And it was funny that I didn’t think about Silver Blade Pack. The only pack that can tolerate such atrocious crimes for the sake of power.Sylvie was worried. I could feel it. When I thought that part of my life was already kept in the deepest, darkest part of me, I never thought it would submerge again after seeing

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]I frowned. I knew the woman’s family was one of the famous families from this region. But Alpha Ray seemed agitated, with eyes glaring down at Ruby Morgan.Terrified, Lucas’ fiancé took advantage of the shock on Alpha Ray’s face and immediately hopped in her luxurious car and drove crazily straight out of the building parking lot and onto the main road. I wanted to know what made him agitated after he recognized that Ruby came from a certain pack and clan, but I decided not to approach Ray first after seeing him drowning in deep thoughts. Not too long after, some of the building's security burst into the parking area and arrested the intruders. That chequered-shirt guy glared at me as the guards lifted him from the ground and dragged him toward the patrol vehicle. I had a feeling it wouldn’t be the last time we would see each other, so I answered his glare with a cold stare, showing him I was never afraid of him.“Are you hurt?”Startled by his deep voice, I

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]“Sylvie!”“I have to go.”I rushed out of my office after Ruby Morgan ruined my day. Alpha Ray’s face was worried, but I had to go, or I would explode in anger. I never wanted any of the people in the office to see me lose my composure.The horrible incident about me ending Mandy’s lunacy had already stopped, and I didn't want another issue to taint the name of my fiancé’s pack anymore. I had to avoid troubles as much as I could while Uncle Bennett still trusted Alpha Ray and me and that we could make Westridge successful again.“Sylvie!”“I just need some fresh air.” I stopped in the hallway to tell Ray I had to be alone for a second. “I will be okay, I promise.”He didn’t look convinced, though, as he looked at me gravely. After what happened between me and Lucas yesterday, Alpha Ray started to become overprotective of me. “I don’t think you should go anywhere without a sentinel, love. At least let me send four guards to wherever you want to go.”His sky-blu
