[ALPHA RAY’s Point of View]

If it weren’t for Sylvie, I would have torn that man limb to limb.

I kept my calm as I watched Lucas’ every move. I couldn’t believe that the leader of the Black Gold Group could do such a horrible thing to Sylvie and the pack that was once one of the most peaceful communities in this region. I met the Alpha of the Moonlight Pack before when I used to assist my father in managing the Eastridge and I could recall they were the most welcoming were-people that my father had as a friend.

The news about what the Black Gold Group did to Sylvie’s family and her people gave me the motivation to corner this mafia beast and make sure they wouldn't be able to do the same to the Eastridge or any pack.

But if it was about Sylvie’s safety, I was willing to sacrifice everything just to save my mate.

Every muscle in my body was tensed and tight as I watched Sylvie and Mandy swing those blades to each other, wanting to land that first cut and make sure it was fatal. My hea

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]“GO!”I heard Alpha Ray’s roar. It sounded distorted in my ears as I breathed heavily; my throat was on fire and my eyes were blurry as I held the blade tight until I felt my palm sweat and ache.It was all my rage and instinct that drove me to such violence. Trembling and empty, I looked down at my hands and saw the blood pouring down my hand to the hilt of the blade. When my eyes moved to the side, a body was already on the floor, swimming in her own blood and I realized it was Mandy—dead and sprawled on the white marble floor.She was dead. I ended her.I was distracted when I heard someone whimpering in front of me and saw Carter with that huge gash on his back. Blood spilled out as he tried to crawl away from me. His face was full of terror as if he had seen a monster unleashed. My whole body was stiff. My muscles ached so badly that I winced and groaned with every single move I made.“Sylvie…”Alpha Ray’s voice was the only sound that brought me back to

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]“Thank you, Daniel.” I smiled at him and Alpha Ray gave his son a grateful smile.“You know, things weren’t easy for me as well.” Alpha Ray let out a heavy sigh as he looked at Daniel, his eyes a little awkward as if he wanted to say something but was hesitating. Daniel must have understood what his father was trying to tell me so he nodded as if encouraging Ray.“Well…” Alpha Ray inhaled deep this time and caressed my hand with his thumb. “I met Daniel’s mother during college, and we were... best friends. She always had my back, even when I was starting to train to become the next Alpha of Westridge. My father and I—we are different. We have different views when it comes to ruling our people. Daniel’s mother stood by me when I decided to make a difference, and of course, my father wasn’t happy about it. But she made me realize that I should do what I think is best for my people. And so I did.”He was still uncomfortable telling people about his former mate th

    [ALPHA RAY’s Point of View]“I make sure everything here in the office is working well, Alpha. I just…I just can’t believe that Carter and Mandy—”“Thank you, Abby. Sylvie is right. You are very good at your work.” I gave her a short smile as I compiled the papers on the table and stored them in a drawer. “It’s very unfortunate that such things happened. Their betrayal of the pack was unanticipated, knowing that Mandy came from the family of one of my councils. I didn’t know her level of resentment against Sylvie was that terrible.”One of my employees in the office, Abby, who was closest to Sylvie, adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose and sighed, "I'm sorry for what happened, Alpha Ray." Sylvie and her son didn’t deserve what they did to her.” she dabbed a kerchief on the corner of her eyes. “And the Black Gold Group—”“Everything is under control, Abby. Just ensure you manage everything here while I’m busy with other things. Can I trust you with that?”She nodded, still fe

    [ALPHA RAY’s Point of View]“I tried—so many times. I wanted to show myself to her but I knew I would only scare her away. Nolan told me to come last night to show me a surprise but my anger at her for hiding my son from me took over and I…”Lucas stopped midway through his explanation as if he couldn’t think of how to explain his feelings anymore and I didn’t know what to feel about it. My wolf could sense the sincerity in him this time and the tension on my shoulder somehow lessened. I could tell he was suffering. But I reminded myself not to get too comfortable for he was as deadly as a newly sharpened knife even in his most vulnerable state. “She will never listen to me no matter what I say,” he added. “She wants me dead.”“I can explain all of this to Sylvie, though.” I intended to make it sound sarcastic but I never thought that would bring light to Lucas’ eyes.“She only listens to you, Howard. Perhaps you can convince her to see me so I can explain everything that happened. I

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]I opened my eyes slowly and wished he was there.Alpha Ray sat on the right edge of the bed with a sorrowful smile I had never seen before. I blinked twice and gave him a confused smile, wanting to know what made him sad today. “Did something happen?”“Nothing to be worried about,” he answered with a soft, deep voice as he caressed the side of my face with his big, rough hand. He was so warm that his simple touch made me close my eyes and then open them to stare at his handsome face. “How are you feeling?”“Much better than yesterday,” I answered with a whisper and turned my head to smell the scent of his hand. As always, I loved that fresh oceanic scent, the cool minty breeze that skin was giving off whenever he was this close to me.I thought I heard him gasp a little and then his jaw stiffened as he leaned closer and stared into my eyes. “I’m happy you’re getting better. Oliver is already waiting for you at the car.”“Oliver…” I breathed and my eyes welled

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]“I’m sorry about what happened there.”I didn’t know if I should feel bad that my attitude slipped a bit and I made a harsh retort to Alpha Ray’s father, knowing it was the very first time I met the old man. I never wanted any misunderstanding but I would never let them treat me and Oliver like we were trash in this place.After bringing my luggage to the room that Alpha Ray prepared for me, Daniel and Oliver decided to leave me and Ray to talk. That awkward tension that happened in the main hall made Oliver a little worried but I heard Daniel tell Oliver about the new model of gaming console he just bought yesterday and that distracted Oliver’s thoughts as they rushed out of my room.I gaze at Alpha Ray’s eyes. I expected him to pull me against him but we both knew our relationship wasn’t on that level yet. “I think going here with you is a bad decision, Alpha Ray,” I murmured with a worried face. He reached for my hand and kissed the back of it as he looked

The woman you are supposed to be married to! What did she do to you son?!”“Alpha Ray, please…” I stopped him but he didn’t let go of my hand. He squeezed it and looked at me for a second with a determined look in his eyes as he pursed his lips before he looked back to his father and hissed. “I won’t let you disrespect her in front of me!”“Ray! I can’t believe you are yelling at your father for that kind of woman!” His mother lashed at him with her eyes wide with anger. “We didn’t raise you to become such a disappointment like this, Ray! You used to be rational about a lot of things! But this!?”“I did what I had to, Mom,” Alpha Ray answered with so much respect despite his anger. “But Sylvie is my second chance, and I won’t think twice if it means saving her from Lucas, who ruined her life.” He looked at

    [SYLVIE’s Point of View]I took my earrings off while glaring at my reflection on my vanity mirror. Alpha Ray stood behind me, leaning against the side of the open door with his arms folded on his chest. He had been silent the whole time since we left the dining hall and I could tell he had thoughts in his mind that worried me.Was I too harsh when I talked back to his mother and father? Was he upset that I was impolite in front of them?I exhaled in exasperation as I removed my lipstick with cleansing wipes. Thinking I disappointed him, I lowered my face and covered it with both hands. My chest felt heavy. So heavy it was hard to breathe. I never wanted any of this. I never wanted to be rude or disrespectful to anyone, especially to the parents of the man I love. But it felt as if everything and everything was testing me. It felt as if they were testing my patience. My anger. Of how I could hold back the emotions—a storm that was destroying me from the inside out. It was exhausting

    [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
