Ryn shook her head. The vicious grin on the man's face made her shudder with fear."No," she muttered.Ryn staggered back as the man raised his blood-soaked hand. The girl covered her ears with both hands while hiding her face. She screamed in fear like a helpless little girl."Ryn!" A voice was heard calling out.The girl did not hear it. She kept screaming while covering her ears. Ryn was getting hysterical when a hand touched her shoulder. She reflexively brushed the hand and moved away."Don't touch me! Get away from me!" Ryn shouted."Hey, Ryn! It's me. Lance." Lance grabbed Ryn's hand, trying to make her open her eyes and look at him. "It's me. Don't be scared, okay? I'm not going to hurt you," he said.Ryn looked at the man with wildly moving eyeballs. It took some time for Ryn to realize that the man before her was Lance. Ryn rushed into Lance's arms and linked her hands behind his back."Lance! I'm scared! He's there! I'm scared," she cried.Lance rubbed her back as he looked
"Ryn! Oh my! When the heck are you going to be this stubborn, huh? Do you have any idea how dangerous what you did was? God! You're so-what?" Lance peppered Ryn with his protests and suddenly stopped talking when he saw the girl signaling him to be quiet."Look around you!" commanded Ryn.At that moment, Lance realized the situation. He turned around and saw that the place was deserted."Where are the people?" Lance questioned what Ryn had thought before."That's what I was trying to ask you," Ryn said.The girl swung her legs, scanning the place for clues."Maybe they're in the basement," Lance said."I'll check it out," said Ryn."No!" Lance exclaimed, making Ryn turn to him. "We don't know what's going on. It would be better if we didn't split up. We'll check it out together," he added.Ryn nodded. Lance's words made more sense, and they had no idea what dangers might threaten their lives."I believe this fire was intentional. Who do you think did it?" Ryn asked.Lance turned to th
All of Freemega's members focused their attention on the Golden Moon Pack members standing proudly before them. Albert and Ryn's gazes were in a straight line for some time. He felt something difficult to describe."Albert!" Walter's growling voice forced Albert to turn his attention away from Ryn."Yeah, that's my name," Albert replied casually.Walter tightened his jaw with both hands clenched into fists. But he kept his mouth shut."I think you've forgotten who I am," he continued, his eyes fixed on Walter. "How are you doing, Uncle Walter? It's been a long time since we met. I didn't think we'd be here. Oh, or should I say you're hiding here?" Albert's gaze turned cold with a suppressed vocal intonation.Whispers began to be heard behind Walter. Albert's call to Walter sounded very familiar, which made them question the relationship between Albert and Walter. So far, Walter has never mentioned their relationship. However, he always emphasized that Albert was a cold-blooded Alpha w
The Alpha's eyes turned red in a single blink. Albert growled, revealing sharp fangs ready to tear Walter's veins. His claws gripped Walter's collar tightly, digging into his skin. "You deserve to die!" growled Albert on Walter's face. Albert raised his hand and opened his jaws wide ready to tear Walter apart and send him to death. "Get away from him!" shouted a voice from Albert's right. A growl followed by a kick hit the Alpha's body. In her half-wolf form, Ryn stood against Walter and stared at Albert, who was knocked down by her kick. The incident made the fight pause. Their attention was focused on what Ryn was doing. The brave girl was blinded by vengeance and had the guts to attack the Alpha with barely any hands. "Damn it!" hissed Albert. What Ryn had done just now had ignited his anger. The man's jaw tightened with his rapid breathing. He turned his head to find out who had dared to do so. And how surprised he was to see Ryn in half-wolf form. In a single moment, when t
The massacre of the Blood Moon Pack was a moment Albert would never forget. It was when Albert first became the Alpha of the Golden Moon Pack in place of his father, a time when someone who was once very close to him openly declared war.Albert was almost overwhelmed by the scent of his mate. The scents trapped his soul into submitting to fate in such proximity. He knew that Ryn felt the same way from the wild movement of her eyeballs. It was a sign that the girl was fighting the strong temptation inside her. Luckily, it didn't last long. Albert managed to pull himself up and get back to his purpose."I see something you misunderstand, Miss Aberdein," Albert said.The Alpha's deep voice made Ryn almost lose her breath and choke on her heartbeat. As Albert was, it clutched her heart even tighter. Ryn tightened her jaw as her breathing quickened. Again and again, cursing her heart for being mesmerized by the Alpha. Ryn tried hard to fight those feelings, covering them with hatred."Scre
Every word that Albert said felt like a deeply hypnotizing spell. The hatred for the Alpha had disappeared into thin air. Ryn's heart was filled with vengeance for the man who had so cruelly taken her parents' lives.Ryn took a step toward Walter with a hardened face. The girl said nothing until she reached him. Without a word, she aimed a single punch at Walter's face."Ryn!" Lance rushed over. "What the hell are you doing?" he asked, demanding an answer.The unexpected attack also surprised the others. They didn't expect Ryn to hit the man, who had been taking care of her wholeheartedly."Stay out of this! It's none of your business!" Ryn snapped.Lance ignored her. He stayed close and touched Ryn's arm. The young man did not understand what was happening. Just moments ago, Ryn saved Walter from Albert. But now the girl was turning on Walter. What had Albert done to her?"Did Albert incite you? Tell me! What did he say to make you do this?" Lance asked.Ryn turned her head toward Lan
The gate with the Golden Moon Pack symbol welcomed them."Welcome to the Golden Moon Pack," Albert said.There were no words that Ryn spoke to reply to the Alpha. The girl's eyes did not stop exploring every corner of the place she passed. After living in Wolfspring for so long, Ryn finally met modern civilization. The Golden Moon Pack palace was in stark contrast to the Freemega settlement. Elegant classic building designs, neatly cut grass and plants, several cars lined up in the carport, and... cell phones. This place made Ryn feel like she was back in her home world."Shall we?" Albert offered his hand and smiled faintly.Ryn blinked quickly and then lowered her gaze to Albert's hand. She hesitated for a moment but eventually welcomed the hand anyway. Ryn let Albert take her hand and lead her into the Golden Moon Pack palace."You all live here?" asked Ryn innocently.The corner of Albert's lips lifted slightly. He turned to Ryn and replied, "Yeah, we all live here, and so do you.
Ryn stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself covered in blood. She was sad. Freemega taught her many things and gave her much love, affection, and protection. Everything she had never felt before was perfect, but cunning had destroyed it. Ryn deeply regretted Walter's hypocrisy. Everyone in Freemega respected him so much, treating him like an Alpha. His warm and thoughtful demeanor had everyone fooled."The smell of blood is disgusting!" Ryn relaxed her shoulders as she exhaled tiredly. "No wonder he won't kiss me. I'm so horrible," the girl said with immediate regret."Oh, Stupid! Seriously? Did I really expect him to kiss me? Curse my mind!" she cursed. Ryn shook her head and muttered, "This is so embarrassing! I don't think I'll dare to look at him again."After lamenting her sadness and stupidity, Ryn thought of cleaning up immediately. She
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
