Albert's eyes did not look away from the hairpin he was holding. His brain kept trying to dig up memories where he had seen a carving like the one on the hairpin, but he found nothing. Albert couldn't remember.Occasionally, his attention was drawn to Ryn, who looked very happy because of the Freeemega members who joined the Golden Moon Pack. He did not expect Ryn would be that happy because she left them with a gaping wound."Daydreaming, huh?" Jayden's question surprised the Alpha. He sat down in the chair next to Albert while casting at Ryn. Then he eyed Albert and said, "Can't look away from her, hum?"Albert winked a few times. He turned to Jayden and put the hairpin in his pocket. Damn! Jayden caught him off guard."Do not speak out of turn! I'm not thinking about her," Albert argued."I was watching you, Alpha. You barely even blinked when you looked at her." Jayden pulled one corner of his lips up."It's just your feelings," Albert denied. "What about him? What did you get?" t
Ryn came to the Golden Moon Pack with nothing but what was attached to her body. Albert had only bought her a few pieces of clothing. And today, he would take Ryn to the city to buy more."I've never been to the city before," Ryn said."Oh?" Albert opened the car door for Ryn. After that, he half-ran around the front of the car and opened the left-side door. "Am I supposed to feel sorry for you?" he continued as he plopped down in the driver's seat."You're shitty!" grumbled Ryn with pursed lips as she fastened her seatbelt.The roar of the car's engine could be heard. Slowly, the wheels rolled away from the Golden Moon Pack and down the deserted road to the main road into the city."I know someone who once asked me to go to the city," Ryn said as she remembered someone who had asked her to go to the city.For some reason, Ryn's words irritated Albert. Ryn did not mention a name, but those words led Albert's mind to a name: Lance."I've only met her once, but she's very nice. She remi
The kiss plunged their souls into passion, temptation, and indescribable feelings. Albert and Ryn were so lost in the kiss that they didn't realize they were the center of attention for the people passing by. They clutched each other as if they didn't want to end the kiss and lose that intoxicatingly intimate moment. Until Albert finally remembered his aim. At that moment, Albert suddenly ended the kiss and moved away from Ryn."Sorry. This is a public area. We shouldn't be doing this here. I have to call someone." He excused himself as he walked backward and turned away.Ryn was honestly disappointed that the kiss had to end. But when she noticed where they were now, she understood. The girl looked around, then went to a bench and sat there."This is the sweetest kiss I've ever had," Ryn murmured. The girl bit her lip and wiped it with a finger, looking at Albert, who stood behind her while talking to someone on the phone."Am I in love with him?" Ryn shook her head faintly. She felt
Whoever she was, in Ryn's eyes, she was just a bitch who deserved to be beaten. What she did was out of line. What if she didn't manage to dodge in time? The boomerang would definitely crush her head. Ryn didn't respond to Darla's handshake. Instead, she made a fist and was ready to make a lesson out of the woman who had messed with her. A touch on the shoulder forced Ryn out of the scenario in her mind. The girl turned her head and saw Jayden stepping slightly in front of her as if trying to protect her. "What are you doing, Darla? She's our future Luna, and you almost killed her." Jayden's question implied a warning. "I just wanted to prove what people were saying about our future Luna," Darla replied casually. She didn't look guilty at all, despite nearly costing Ryn her life. "Don't make a mess of things. You know what Albert could do to you if your weapon hurt her," Jayden said. Darla shrugged with the corners of her lips pulled down. "That scares me," she said. The blonde w
Ryn took the bait that Darla threw out. She felt challenged to engage the woman, even though she knew Darla had a hidden agenda behind the invitation. But who cared? Ryn felt even more motivated to go one-on-one with the bitchy blonde. Ryn remembered the location Darla had mentioned well. On the day they had agreed to meet, Ryn prepared to head to the location. Sneaking out of the Golden Moon Pack's palace was not a difficult thing for Ryn to do. Let's say she was already an expert in this. So she did not need to make any more effort to leave the place. "Ryn," someone called out, causing the girl's steps to stop. Ryn turned slowly and saw an Omega carrying a shovel standing a few feet away with a questioning look. "Hi, Bryan." Ryn smiled stupidly as she scratched her non-itchy head. "You want to dig some dirt?" The stupid question just slipped out of Ryn's mouth. Bryan looked at the shovel in his hand, thinking Ryn's question was strange. But the man didn't question her. He shrugg
Nothing Ryn said was off the mark. Every single word that came out of her mouth was like a speeding bullet through Darla's chest."Why are you freezing? Am I right?" Ryn said in a sarcastic tone.Darla's teeth clashed over the insult. But she was trained to control herself well. Despite being intimidated, Darla could still manage her emotions. She was ignited for a moment but eventually regained control of the emotions that were trying to burn her soul.Darla smiled slightly, then said, "Silence does not always mean justification. I think you're misinterpreting my silence, Future Luna. I'm silent because I don't want to waste my energy on unnecessary arguments."Damn it! Ryn clucked for a moment with thinning lips. She had failed to uncover Darla's intentions. It was not easy to get the blonde-haired woman to admit the truth."The sun is going down even faster. Shall we begin?" Darla grinned as she put her stance on alert. "I hear you're tough enough to keep up with Alpha Albert. Show
Ryn turned her head toward Jayden with a troubled look."Does he look mad at me?" she asked anxiously."I don't know if he's mad, but I see him worrying about you a lot," Jayden replied.Ryn bit her lip and scrolled her eyeballs wildly. She was agitated. Jayden's answer did nothing to relieve her. She didn't know when she had gotten so anxious about someone. Was it because that person was Albert?"You'd better go see him soon before he gets mad and we all suffer the consequences," Jayden suggested."I'll catch up with him, but...." Ryn paused her words for a moment. She looked at Jayden expectantly. "Please, don't say anything about what you saw earlier," the girl pleaded.Jayden took a deep breath until his chest puffed out. His flat expression left Ryn unable to guess what he was thinking.Would Jayden be on her side this time?"I can't make any promises. He's my Alpha. I'm not even sure I can tell a lie to him," Jayden said.In other words, Jayden didn't want to agree to Ryn's requ
Albert's words were deeply imprinted in her mind. The warning wasn't directed at her. But Ryn could feel the man's emotions piercing right through her heart. In a single moment, Ryn was like seeing an angel and a demon in one soul."It's done, Miss." Maina's voice pulled Ryn out of her reverie. The girl cleared her throat and blinked a few times."You are so gorgeous. I was worried the bride would be less beautiful than you," Maina complimented as she looked at Ryn's reflection in the mirror.Ryn scrolled her gaze in the same direction. There, she seemed to see a stranger. Ryn's eyes would not lie. She saw a lovely face with light makeup that looked so pretty. The wound on the corner of her lip and the bruise on her left cheek were no longer visible. Her long black hair was gracefully styled to match the shape of her face. With long earrings hanging down from her ears, the girl looked stunning.'She is indeed so beautiful,' she silently praised.All this time, all Ryn saw in the mirro
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
