ZIVAAs soon as I turned around, the appearance of what I saw took me aback. Four large wolves were approaching us like a predator would to his prey.One of the wolves, who seemed to be walking with the other wolves moved before them. It let a low, rumbling growl and instantly, I heard Anji scream, “Run!”Then, I heard her footsteps rushing away. Instead of running, I stayed glued to the floor, staring at the large, dark wolves that were hopping towards me. Their faces were contorted with anger and their appearance alone was terrifying. I yelled to myself inwardly to run, but foolishly I didn't.Suddenly, a wave pushed past me, and I was not glued to the floor anymore. I raised my gaze, realizing that the modern landscape I had seen earlier was transformed into a local one, one with tall trees and trees alone.I was moving quickly too, and my body was above something soft... Fur. I was on a wolf. Oh my! Am I being kidnapped by a wolf?!“Help!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, int
ZIVAI stayed in the bushes, hiding from any angry-looking wolves that might attack me. Strangely, I wanted to survive. Perhaps that should be because I wished for my mother’s release from that cold cell. I don't know how long I hid in the bushes, but I'm certain it took a long time.Crunch!Crunch! The crunching of footsteps echoed in my ear, and my ear rang at the sound of different voices.Voices... People!If people are here, I'll be able to reach the Alpha's mansion safely. There are no growling sounds either, so this place should be safe.Cautiously, I reached out my hand and moved a branch aside, peering through the gap to see what was happening.Luckily, there were no wolves in sight. Everyone was human, and they all seemed to be normal. I decided to come out of the bushes!As I tried to come out, I found myself caught in the branches. I pushed and shoved, but the leaves and sticks kept hitting my face, blocking my path.For a minute, it felt like the bushes were conspiring t
XANDERLater, what caught my attention was Ziva’s continuous scream. I gazed at her and noticed how she stared at me with her eyes wide open. Also, I shouldn't forget how she screamed, and looked messy, with leaves in her hair and scratches on her face.It is disgusting to recall that I saved her, but what other option did I have? If I hadn't saved her, she would have been added to the list of my mates or women who died. I hated rumors, so I saved her, just like I would have done to my pack members. I took the blanket Lance held and covered my bare skin with it.Since I had taken care of the rogues and the pack was no longer in havoc, I decided to leave. Also, I was uninterested in whatever the Ziva girl wanted to say.“Incrociami nella mia ufficio,” I said to Lance, as I walked away from their presence.(Meet me in my office)Screech!A screech echoed, as a car parked by my side. It must have been the car Lance boarded for me. I stepped inside and it sped off to the mansion. I re
XANDERThe rogue looked confident, andI found myself wondering what was going on behind the rogue's expression. Was he scared or confident? Calm or pretending to be calm? I watched closely, my gaze fixed on his face, trying to read his every reaction.“I and my group came for what was ours,” the rogue spoke boldly. With that, I became curious.What does he mean? Why will my pack store a rogue’s belongings?I couldn't help but ask a question, my voice tinged with a hint of curiosity, “What do you mean? What are you talking about?”“Don’t pretend to not be aware of the Crystal-”Crystal Moon? Before the rogue could complete his statement, I snapped my fingers calmly.“Excuse us,” I spoke authoritatively. Without wasting time, the guards marched out, but Lance stood.“You too,” I spoke. Lance bowed his head that instant. He walked out of the cell.As soon as he was gone, I glanced back at the confident rogue.“How did you know about the Crystal Moon?” I questioned, my voice coming out
XANDERBefore the little Ziva girl entered the cell, I had tested another Collar on the rogue. Sigh... It turned out that the rogue was telling the truth about Ziva being the key to the Crystal Moon Guardian.But how did she know about the Crystal Moon Guardian’s location? Gosh, I should have known. Those Darwins are sneaky!Ziva walked into the cell calmly, and the rogue confirmed that Ziva was the girl he referred to. The Collar also indicated that the rogue was telling the truth.If Ziva knows about the Crystal Moon Guardian with Alpha Darwin, what am I waiting for? I will transform the Granelma Pack into ruins instantly!Ziva sat, and I took the other chair. I only mentioned that she had an Agony Collar around her neck, and she was already trembling. She sniffled like she had started crying.I felt a bit odd, more like I was pained because of her sadness... Whatever. I should focus on getting answers instead!Then, I glanced at her, watching how she stared at her burning wrists du
XANDER“Leave,” Her statement replayed in my head. What does she take me for? A fool? I won't fall for her dirty lies to cover up for her father’s deed. Her father had taken the Guardian and she is trying to hide the Guardian’s location.I was a fool for not investigating her at first. I should have known.I left the ward just like she wanted, not without slamming the door in anger as it fell and broke. ~~I walked down the stairs, and upon reaching the dining hall, Ziva was not around again. It has been four days now, and surprisingly, I haven't seen her in the mansion. Perhaps that's because I've been busy with pack work.I pulled out a chair and turned to the Head Omega, “Did she have breakfast?”“Who?” The Head Omega replied.I faced her with a deadly glare, and she gazed at the floor instantly.“That Ziva girl,” I responded.“Alpha, I've not seen her for some days now,” the Head Omega uttered, causing me to pause.“And what does that mean?”“She has not been in this mansion for f
ZIVAHis phone was not clasped in his hand, as it was obviously in his pocket since the outlines were clear on his tight sweatpants.“Why are you not in the Omega’s uniform? That's an offense,” he spoke loudly, causing my eyes to widen as I was caught off guard.How dare he relate me to an Omega?! I'm his wife, an Alpha’s wife!“Uhm...” I heard a feminine voice say, interrupting my conversation with Alpha Xander.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure approach us. “She is Alpha Xander’s wife.” the figure whispered. It was a fat figure, and as it neared, I realized that it was the Head Omega.My brows furrowed, with my eyes darting back and forth between the Head Omega and Alpha Xander as if trying to follow a tennis match.Huh? Why is she telling him that? Doesn't he know that I'm his wife?“Oh! I was not aware!” Alpha Xander exclaimed.Suddenly, he took my hand gently. He raised it to his lips and brushed them against the back of my hand. Then, he raised his gaze and muttered
XANDERHe stayed mute, and I moved away from him, not wanting to beat him up or do something I would regret later on.I calmed myself as I fought to keep my composure.“I don't know what has gotten into you or what influenced you, but this was not what I was expecting from you. You being the younger one doesn't make you less of a son, and you should be more pressed towards getting revenge than I am. I am disappointed in you.” I said all that I had in my mind before leaving his presence.To be honest, the only reason why Alexei stayed in the city was because of the petty fights we had when we were younger. We also fought for the Alpha position, but luckily, my father assigned me as the next Alpha because I was older. Sigh... Alexei was born a few minutes after I was washed, but that doesn't mean that he should be a fool!ZIVAWith the aim of getting the Crystal Moon, I built a friendly relationship with the Omegas, and the Head Omega, hoping that they would shed light about the Cryst
