In a few seconds, Albert and Drake's eyes met in a straight line. Eye on eye. Very serious male business. Albert wanted to use this opportunity to have a serious talk with Drake after the previous occasion had lost the moment."You look very tense, Alpha Albert. It seems like what you want to talk about is a very serious matter," Drake said, trying to lower the pressure in the atmosphere.Albert smiled slightly."I'm not one to talk nonsense just to pass the time, Mr. Harmon. Especially with someone I only know on a piece of paper," Albert said, emphasizing his last sentence.Although their tone was low and smiles were always on their faces, the tension between them was still very strong. Judith realized this. From Albert's gestures and manner of speaking, the two men had very serious business to discuss."Gentlemen," Judith interrupted. The atmosphere in the room was already starting to feel uncomfortable, and Judith felt the need to address it immediately. "It's getting a little hot
At midnight, when most people were deep in dreams, Ryn was awake alone. The ticking of the clock became her companion, breaking the silence. The girl rubbed her arms. The cold air from the air conditioner suddenly made her shiver, unlike the usual night. For a moment, her attention was drawn to the two men sleeping on the couch. Albert and Lance had not left her side at all. Neither of them would budge. So, in the end, Ryn let them both stay there. Ryn let out a long sigh. "Why is it so hard to see you two get along? It would be great if you were on the same server. Working together to lead the Golden Moon Pack," she wished. Since the beginning, Albert and Lance had been like water and oil. The two of them were always involved in tensions, and it was very difficult for them to get along. She could use the emulator to emulsify the water and oil. Ryn hoped to bring them together. "It's cold in here." The cold interrupted again. "Aren't they cold? Ah, how could I forget? They are were
Silence. Almost nothing was heard except for the subtle roar of the car engine and the occasional honking of other vehicles. Even Jayden dared not make a sound, even if it was just clearing his throat to relieve his itchy throat. The four-person car drove in silence. In the front cabin, Jayden was driving, and Ryn was sitting next to him. In the back cabin, Albert and Lance sat next to each other but far apart. Ryn organized it all.It didn't just happen. It was challenging to get Albert and Lance to sit next to each other in the same car with the same destination. This was because Ryn had forced them to be together. They did not immediately fulfill her request at the hospital. Ryn still had to argue with Albert and Lance until an agreement was reached. Each of them proposed a condition that basically had the same thing in common, which was not to interfere in each other's affairs even though they would be living in the same place."Isn't it adorable that the two of them are so quiet
Morgan was the name Albert introduced to the pack members. Ryn never mentioned that she had to recognise Lance as his sibling in front of the pack members. Albert used this loophole to cover up Lance's true identity.After announcing that Lance would be staying there, Albert hurriedly turned around. He took Ryn's hand to lead her into the house. But before that, he told Jayden."Show him to his room!" Albert said it in a calm tone."All right, Alpha Albert,'" Jayden replied.After that, he immediately led Ryn away, not wanting to give Ryn and Lance a chance to talk."Alpha Albert," Jayden called out urgently before the Alpha got too far away.Albert stopped walking and turned to the Beta. Wordlessly, he waited for his confidant to make his point."After escorting Mr. Morgan to his room, I would like to ask permission to go hunting. Tonight, we plan to have a bonfire party in the courtyard to welcome your return," Jayden said."I'll allow it," Albert said.Jayden nodded once with a hap
"Do I look so slutty?" asked Ryn suddenly.The girl in Albert's arms asked a question that made the Alpha immediately raise his head, looking at his girl with furrowed eyebrows questioningly."Why do you say that?" the Alpha asked.Ryn shrugged."I still remember what made me run away from you, how I was so mad at you. But look at me now! I'm naked and curled up in your arms, making love to you and always singing your name." Ryn lifted her face, blinking a few times at the Alpha. "Am I so slutty?" she asked again.Albert chuckled, then lifted Ryn's chin and kissed her lips."We love each other. There is nothing slutty about hearts that love each other," Albert said."You're not listening to me." Ryn pursed her lips and sighed as she rested her head on Albert's chest."I hear you," Albert said. The man tightened his embrace, kissing Ryn's head lovingly. "Listen! I apologize for what I did before. For what made you angry and disappointed? But from now on, I want us to start over. Redo o
A peck on the forehead made Ryn squirm. Feeling disturbed, the girl moaned and changed her sleeping position to her back. Her body felt so tired after her heated struggle with Albert. No wonder Ryn was so sound in her sleep."Hey, Baby," Albert greeted while caressing Ryn's face with his fingers.Ryn's eyelids slowly opened. She first saw Albert's face, which always looked handsome. The man looked neat. The combination of perfumes, soaps, and shampoos emanating from Albert's body was always Ryn's favorite. The girl took a deep breath, savoring the Alpha's scent with a smile etched on her lips."Hey," Ryn replied in a hoarse voice. Her sweet eyes looked at Albert. She then yawned while rubbing her eyes. "How long did I sleep? What time is it?" she asked."Seven, maybe," Albert replied, sounding unsure. "You slept very well. I'm sorry that I exhausted you," he winked."Maybe?" Ryn made a face."I didn't notice," the Alpha shrugged. "Come on! Get up!" Albert held out his hand.The girl w
Lance looked at Albert, who was so arrogantly challenging him. This place belonged to Albert, but Lance wanted to show the Alpha that not everyone had to bow down to him. Lance positioned himself across the table, facing Albert, who was already preparing to duke it out with him."There's nothing more to wait for," Lance said, responding to Albert's challenge.Having fought with Albert before, Lance knew the man's strength. He knew defeating the Alpha wouldn't be easy, but Lance wouldn't give up so easily. It was not impossible that he would win.Lance bent his elbows, rested on the table and shook Albert's ready hand. This silenced the people who had been whispering to each other. Everyone was silent, waiting for the battle of strength between Albert and Lance."Give it your all," Albert said intimidatingly.Unfortunately, Albert's words were unable to intimidate Lance. One corner of Lance's lips lifted as he looked into Albert's sharp eyes. He then said, "Sure. I'll do it. Because th
It wasn't a fancy party with all the trimmings. This was a wild werewolf feast. A large deer - Lance's kill - was the main course, with a few gallons of beer for company. Everyone gathered around the campfire to have a good time."Best cut of meat, special for you, Alpha Albert," said a blonde woman.Darla came over with a plate of venison for the Alpha."Thank you, Darla," Albert said as he accepted the plate."I'm happy to do it, Alpha," Darla excused herself."I don't like her," Ryn said after Darla left."Darla?" Albert pointed at the woman who had just given him a meat plate."Hm," Ryn confirmed."What makes you dislike her? Aren't you guys good friends?" Albert asked with a chuckle."Who said we were best friends?" Ryn looked at the Alpha with a protest look. "Ever since I came here, I've disliked her. Don't you know that she attacked me with a boomerang the first time I got here?" Ryn babbled.Albert smiled a little at his girl's words. He was not ignorant, but he had known Dar
Excitement swelled in the palace, welcoming the victory they had won. Applause and cheers flowed beautifully as the Alpha entered the court. Everyone was happy. Everyone celebrated the victory, though they also felt the loss of several pack members killed in battle. "Albert," said a voice over the din of the crowd. Judith broke the line of pack members and walked quickly to the Alpha. A worried look crossed her face when she saw Ryn unconscious in Albert's arms. "She's hurt," she commented once she reached Albert. Judith examined some of the wounds on the girl's face. "Bad enough to knock her out," Albert said. "Doctor Mike is still busy taking care of the injured pack members, and I see he's got a lot of injuries himself. I think I can help check on Luna Ryn while we wait for Doctor Mike," Judith said. "I'll take her to the room," Albert replied. Judith nodded and followed Albert, who took Ryn to the room. The Alpha laid Ryn on the bed carefully, not caring about the blood and
Clothes, claws, hands, and face were all covered in a thick red liquid. The stench of blood pierced the lungs. Corpses were strewn about like thousands of dead fish washed up on the shore. Sorrowful moans could be heard faintly from the souls separated from the bodies. Proof that the battle had taken many lives."Albert, watch out!"Hearing the warning cry, Albert turned his head. The Alpha looked at his worried-looking Luna. Ryn pointed at the oncoming enemy. Albert was not unaware that three Alphas were heading his way. He knew, but there was not the slightest intention to run. Albert nodded to Ryn and then looked back at the three Alphas approaching him. The Alpha's howls echoed in all directions, preparing to fight the three attacking Alphas.Undaunted, Albert welcomed the attacks from the three Alphas with open arms. Unarmed, relying solely on his physical strength. It was a very unfavorable condition, but it did not discourage him. Fighting one-on-one would be easy for him. Howe
One corner of Albert's lips lifted slowly. Ryn's burning enthusiasm also fueled his fire. He did not see the slightest fear in Ryn's eyes, which was very different from when the girl had her visions."I'm so lucky to have a Luna like you," Albert said proudly. The man then extended a hand, and Ryn took it. "Let's do this together," he continued.Hand in hand, Albert and Ryn exited the palace, striding wide to greet the oncoming enemy."I love seeing our Alpha and Luna," Dominic whispered to Jayden."They're the best Alpha and Luna pair I've ever met," Jayden replied."Yep! Totally agree!" Dominic snapped his fingers."The Moon Goddess never gets mates wrong," Jayden chimed in. "Let's not let our Alpha and Luna fight the enemy alone," Jayden invited.Dominic eagerly welcomed the invitation. The two men immediately set off, following Albert and Ryn, who had left earlier.When they arrived at the courtyard, Albert saw that his men were on standby. They set up barricades outside and insid
Hurried footsteps could be heard approaching. Albert and Jayden turned in the direction of the sound. One of the Warriors came to them with a serious look."Dom," Jayden greeted. "How are things outside?" Jayden asked. He knew the warrior hadn't come for mere pleasantries; he must have gotten a message from Sebastian.The man named Dominic stopped before the Alpha, saluted with a nod of his head, and then answered Jayden's question, "There's a lot of them. We need help to keep them from entering the palace grounds."The famous Golden Moon Pack warriors, as well as Sebastian, had already taken matters into their own hands to deal with the enemy. However, in reality, the number of opponents they had to face was beyond prediction. There were hundreds of werewolves moving against the Golden Moon Pack as if they had been prepared for the attack.A warrior facing ten people at once would be fine. However, they could remember the fact that there were Alphas also coming down to attack, who ha
Confession and atonement are the most beautiful things about ending a feud. Forgiving and accepting each other is another way to let go of the burdens that have been piling up in our minds.Albert has not fully accepted fate because, until this moment, he still cannot accept Lance as his younger brother. However, by taking into account the fact that Judith was his mother, he felt that his chest was much lighter. There was a sense of relief, like a heavy burden that had been lifted."What made you smile to yourself, hm?" asked Ryn.The girl had been watching Albert for some time now. The Alpha, who was sitting on the balcony, seemed to be daydreaming while occasionally smiling faintly.Ryn's question forced Albert out of his reverie. The Alpha blinks his eyes quickly while looking back at the girl."What are you doing there?" Albert asked.Ryn walked up to the Alpha. A small smile spread across the girl's lips as she felt the aura of happiness radiating from the Alpha's face. Behind Al
The three people sitting at the same table looked at each other. Ryn's answer seemed to confirm that the terrible incident happened in the Golden Moon Pack. As pack leader, Albert's mind immediately went to the incident during the coronation ceremony, where several of his guests had collapsed."I believe all of this is connected," Albert said."That's very possible, considering Ryn has experienced this before, and it's proven true," Judith said.Albert gritted his teeth. His hands were clenched tightly with emotion. If Ryn's vision were true, a great battle would be in his palace. Perhaps this was a sign the Moon Goddess had given them. So that Albert could prepare everything."Do you know when it will happen?" Albert asked Ryn.The girl shook her head. She could not find any clues about the exact time of the battle."I'm sorry," Ryn said regretfully."Not your fault," Albert replied. He turned to Judith and said, "Thank you for coming here.""No need to thank me. I didn't do anything
This emergency forced Albert to summon Judith to the palace. He believed that Judith was the one who knew the most about Ryn's visions."Don't worry! No matter how bad it is, we'll face it together." Albert kissed Ryn's forehead.The girl was still scared, even though Albert often assured her they would face any problem together. Ryn didn't want Albert to leave her side, even for a second.There was a knock on the door, and Albert was forced to let go of his girlfriend's embrace. He went to open the door."Mrs. Morrow is here, Alpha Albert," said a man, one of Albert's wolves."I'll see her soon," replied the Alpha.Albert quickly returned and told Ryn that the person they were waiting for had arrived. They hurriedly went to meet the waiting Judith."Judith!" Ryn half-ran over to the forty-year-old woman sitting on the sofa."Ryn," Judith replied.The woman stood up and greeted Ryn, who immediately hugged her tightly."What happened?" Judith stroked Ryn's back while glancing at Albert
Ryn gently caressed Albert's face. She gave the Alpha a warm smile, creating a sense of comfort in her lover."I have nothing to comfort you with but love," Ryn said.Albert's hazel irises scanned the beautiful face intently. The man let Ryn's soft fingers surf over whatever the girl wanted. No words, just a look with his eyes as permission."The responsibility that lies on your shoulders is heavy. I know that." Ryn lowered her touch from Albert's face to the man's shoulders. She briefly stroked it and rested her palm on the Alpha's chest. His face lifted slowly, meeting her gaze in a straight line. "Put all that fatigue behind you for a moment. Give your body and brain a chance to rest for a moment. I'm here, Albert. I'll do whatever it takes to ease the burden weighing you down," she continued as she nuzzled the Alpha's chest.Those delicate fingers gave her a soft, lulling touch. Then she undid the buttons of Albert's shirt one by one until the hair underneath reached the net. Ryn
Albert's self-investigation did not go as expected. The scouts he ordered to search for information were, in fact, unsuccessful in providing the name of someone who posed a threat."I'm sorry, Alpha Albert." Jayden looked down in shame for not succeeding in giving maximum results for the task assigned to him.Albert took a deep breath. He would not blame Jayden for this unsatisfactory result. Apparently, the opponent this time was quite clever and cunning. Even from the CCTV camera footage, nothing suspicious was found."It's not your fault. No need to apologise," Albert said."What about the lab test results of the food and drinks?" asked Jayden."Nothing. There are no indications of poison in the food and drinks we provide," Albert replied. "However, the blood sample was positive for botulinum. Neurotoxin," he continued."Neurotoxin?" Jayden confirmed."That's right. Mike said it usually takes effect about 12 hours after exposure. Doesn't that mean they were exposed to the poison ou
