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
The flower arrangements along the road leading to the venue were so pleasing to the eye. The combination of soft blue and white colors with dim lights at some points made the people who walked through it feel like they were in the middle of a heavenly garden. Guests in expensive suits and elegant dresses seemed to cluster like ants, forming a colony according to their caste. Not only the Alphas from all over Wolfspring were invited to the party. Alpha Xander was a government official in Wolfspring City. He also invited famous figures to the city, even if they were not of their kind."Stay by my side, and look no further than me," Albert whispered."This is ridiculous," Ryn muttered.There were many guests at this party. Indeed, none of them were people she knew. But Albert's demand made her feel like a dog in a pet carrier. Stayed to the side and was not allowed to look the other way. How annoying!"I'm just trying to protect you," Albert said."But that's too much," Ryn retorted.Alb
Ryn quickly adapted to Denaya. Denaya's motherly nature made her comfortable, so the conversation was enjoyable. Occasionally, Ryn glanced at Albert, who never seemed to let her out of his sight. But who cares? Just let him glare at her all the time. Ryn was still annoyed with Albert's overprotective demeanor."He loves you so much," joked Denaya, which made Ryn instantly turn her attention to her. "Look! He can't stop looking at you," she continued."Let him go. He's a pain in the ass tonight," Ryn said with pursed lips.Denaya smiled as she squeezed Ryn's hand."People think he's a cold-blooded, cruel man. Ralph and I used to think so. But once we got to know him better, he wasn't what we thought he was." The woman looked at Albert, who was chatting with her husband. "He's our savior," she continued with a genuine smile."Yeah, he's a good guy," Ryn said.It was not only Ryn who felt this way. What people said about Albert's cruelty, she didn't find in him. And she hoped they weren'
The sound of the blow that landed on Elijah's face was painful. Alpha Rick Jhonson's son looked almost helpless. Albert beat Elijah until he could no longer deflect and only surrendered to the blows."Albert, stop! You'll kill him!" Ryn shouted.The shout went unheeded. Albert grabbed Elijah by the collar and lifted him."Albert!" Ryn shouted once again.Albert had gone too far. The Alpha had lost control and might as well have lost his mind. Elijah's life could be in Albert's hands if it weren’t stopped. Therefore, Ryn threw her heels on and rushed over to them. However, her steps were halted when a hand held her back. Ryn turned her head and saw Mike shaking his head."Don't! Albert wants to protect you from him," Mike warned.Ryn rounded her eyes in disbelief. "Are you out of your mind? Elijah could die!" she protested.How could she let Albert beat up an innocent man? She and Elijah hadn't done anything. Albert had just misunderstood. He wouldn't let Albert beat Elijah to death."
Instead of feeling flattered, being called a guardian angel broke Albert's heart. What would happen if Ryn discovered he wasn't as good as she thought? All of a sudden, Albert cared so much about Ryn's feelings."Will you forgive me?" Ryn tilted her head to be able to see Albert's face.The Alpha glanced at the girl, focusing on her hopeful gaze. He then let out a long sigh as he looked away."This is so unlike me," Albert muttered.Seeing the tension on Albert's face relax, Ryn flashed a wide smile. The girl unravelled her hug and then moved to Albert's front."I know you're a good guy," said Ryn, who then hugged Albert and landed the side of her face on his chest.Albert licked his lower lip while looking the other way. His hands were clenched into fists. Damn it! This girl made his heart tumble up and down. Albert, who was in a dilemma, hesitated to return the hug."Don't you want to hug me? At least to please me." Ryn looked up while pursing her lips.Swear by anything! Albert fel
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
