Ryn watched Lance, who was getting ready to go to Glorious Corp. The girl smiled a simple smile. Never had she seen Lance look as dapper as he did today. Lance looked much more mature with his navy-blue long-sleeved shirt and clipped hair. The leather shoes Judith had bought him made him look even cooler. This was another look from Lance that made Ryn couldn't stop smiling."I don't know what time my business will be done. If you need anything, you can come to Stacy. I told her to keep an eye on you," Lance said as he brushed his hair into a neat bun."I'm not a kid! You're overreacting," Ryn said with pursed lips.The girl walked over to Lance and stood beside the mirror with her arms crossed. The smile on her lips grew wider when she saw Lance's appearance, which was so unlike his. Ryn couldn't even help but laugh at Lance's appearance today."You're so annoying!" grumbled Lance, glancing lazily at Ryn."You're so adorable," Ryn retorted. "Anyway, I've never seen you look like this,
Ryn yearned to return to the apartment, while Lance was interested in the file on Drake's desk. The girl closed the door after Lance disappeared behind the elevator doors. She turned around and leaned against the door while touching her chest. Ryn's eyes were closed tightly against the suffocating sadness. The sense of loss tucked into every breath made Ryn feel tormented.Ryn missed Albert.If only she could, Ryn wanted to kill that feeling. However, the longing became even more agonizing every time she tried to push it away from her chest. There was a pain she did not understand when she was away from the Alpha."Is this called a mate bond? Why can't I push this feeling away? Why do I always want to go back to him? I hate him. God! I hate him." Ryn pressed harder and harder against his chest.The girl knew her hatred was the opposite of her true feelings. Ryn said it just to deny what she felt.Have you ever hated and loved someone at the same time? That's exactly what Ryn was feeli
Become the key to a great power that once existed in the history of werewolves.What was that joke again?"Before we talk about it further, let me finish this fight," Albert said as he scanned the three men before them who were preparing to attack."Stand down!" ordered Albert to Ryn.The three men were nothing. The Alpha was able to finish the fight without having to involve Ryn. Albert charged at the three men and took them out in record time. In no more than five minutes, all three men were slaughtered.Albert immediately approached Ryn, who was behind him. He then embraced his beloved tightly with longing. Albert said no words, but his gesture was enough to represent what was in his heart. The Alpha unravelled the hug and held Ryn's head, staring intently at the girl's face and kissing her.The hugs and kisses seemed to quench the thirst that had been agonizing for the past few days. Ryn was swept away. She kissed Albert back as if she didn't want it to end. Albert pushed her agai
Lance's lips curved, forming a smile. He then said to Ryn, "That's my mom."The nervousness Ryn felt was getting worse. The girl gulped saliva with difficulty and then forced a smile."I was so nervous," she admitted.Lance chuckled."You're just going to meet my mom. There’s no need to be nervous. Trust me, she's a good person," the man said."That's why. I'm only going to meet your mother, but I'm more nervous than I am about meeting my future mother-in-law," the girl said.Ryn's words made Lance's smile suddenly fade. For a moment, the man felt thrown into a different dimension. A world different from the one he had lived in all this time. If only Ryn knew that he wished the girl's words came true."Why didn't you say you were coming this soon? I haven't even put my cake in the oven yet," yelled Judith, who was still busy in the kitchen.Judith's voice pulled Lance out of his thoughts. Lance blinked a few times while looking away to neutralize the feelings in his heart. The man rea
Judith once gave Ryn a hairpin. The hairpin is now in Albert's hands. If Walter found the same hairpin where Jendra died, Judith might have been connected to the man's death. Ryn increasingly doubted Judith's true nature behind the warmth she always showed."He's our pack leader, Freemega. You've heard of that?" Lance clarified his question."Who did you say? Walter Gerard?" Judith made a face. "Ah, no. I've never even heard of him," Judith said.Lance showed an understanding reaction to his mother's answer."We isolated ourselves in Wolfsbane Hill," says Lance."More precisely, Walter Gerard hid me from Albert Dexter," Ryn continued. The girl then asked Judith, "Do you know Albert Dexter?"Judith felt like she was being interrogated. The woman looked at Ryn with a gaze that was hard to read."Albert Dexter? Of course, I know who he is. I'm sure the entire population of Wolfsrping City knows him," Judith replied with a mysterious smile. The woman then squinted, looking at Lance and Ry
Making peace with the strange things in the werewolf world had become second nature to Ryn. Her life had changed. She no longer considered those unusual occurrences as oddities. Ryn felt her soul had become one with Ryn Aberdein, the wolf girl. Even so, with the prophecy that tied her and Albert to a destiny. She could accept it as a scenario of destiny that had to be lived. Even if it all sounded like a fairy tale read to a child."Bloodwolf will make her Mate very strong. However, that power will also destroy her Mate. Christian interpreted it as death. The Moon Goddess put Bloodwolf and her Mate in a difficult situation." Judith's words must have been ringing in her ears.Ryn agreed with the woman's words. After hearing Judith's explanation of the prophecy, she understood why Albert wanted to kill her. The Alpha was more concerned with his power than the love between them."Christian and I found a way to deflect the prophecy. We performed a ritual in the North Hills with the help o
Everything Judith said had Ryn overthinking. The girl strode unsteadily towards the elevator. Enough of her questions had been answered. And from everything she knew, none of it made her feel better. Ryn needed clarification about how to behave.One of the things that made her think hard was when Judith said that the Bloodwolf was a compass to find the location of the northern witch guarding Moonlight Falls. The girl could not shake the memory of her conversation with Judith some time ago."How am I supposed to find it if I never knew about the waterfall?" Ryn asked Judith."You are a Bloodwolf. Deep in your heart, you already know the waterfall's location," Judith said."Please, I'm not in the mood to play riddles. I don't know what to do," Ryn said half-desperately.Judith's smile didn't make Ryn feel any better. Ryn needed answers, not smiles."I told you, the answers are in your heart," Judith said."Stop saying nonsense, Judith! Tell me! What should I do?" urged an increasingly i
The threatening letter had sent Ryn into a panic. The girl panicked, and without another thought, she ran out of the apartment. The girl pressed the elevator button repeatedly as if her actions would open the elevator doors quickly."Come on, come on!" Ryn muttered while squeezing the threatening letter in her hand.As soon as the elevator doors opened, Ryn rushed inside and immediately pressed the button for the lobby. She continued in the elevator, causing several people in the same elevator to look at her strangely. However, Ryn didn't care. The only thing on her mind right now was Lance. She had to get to the place quickly to save him.Upon arriving at the lobby, Ryn approached the building, standing by the door."Sir, do you know where 441 Vins Building is?" asked Ryn matter-of-factly.The security guard frowned."What are you looking for in that place? It's just an abandoned building that the developer abandoned years ago," said the man in the security uniform."Just answer my q
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
