Yuri’s POV What a disaster. All I wanted was to retrieve my dress from the river so that I wouldn’t have to go back home completely naked. Little did I know that the river would be so deep! “Oh no! Oh no!” I struggled to stay afloat as the river’s current suddenly became turbulent. Who was the one who foolishly declared that she would bathe in this spot every day? Oh, right. That was me. I couldn’t help but feel incredibly foolish for making such a statement. “Help!” I cried out desperately. As the water forcefully carried me downstream, I caught sight of Theodore swimming towards me. “Human!” Theodore exclaimed, grabbing hold of my wrist. Even in this chaotic situation, he couldn’t bring himself to address me by my name. Despite the circumstances, I made every effort to remain close to Theodore. However, the unrelenting rain continued to intensify the force of the river’s current. In an instant, I was forcefully torn from Theodore’s grasp. “Ah!” I cried out, being carried f
Third Person’s POV Due to the torrential downpour, the hunting expedition had to be delayed. Mikhail and his fellow werewolf hunters sought refuge beneath the sturdy cabin that had been constructed in the heart of the dense forest. The cabin had been purposefully built to serve as a temporary sanctuary for the members of the hunting pack. Its walls provided a sense of security amidst the wild and unpredictable nature of their pursuits. Inside the cabin, Matthew settled himself in a secluded corner. His gaze shifted towards the group of werewolves engaged in animated conversation, discussing the peculiar happenings during the Blue Moon Ceremony. However, Matthew’s attention was soon drawn to Mikhail, who sat alone, distanced from the rest of the crowd. As he observed him closely, Matthew noticed a distinct aura of darkness emanating from Mikhail, causing him to narrow his eyes in suspicion. What is he staring at to have such a dark gaze? Matthew followed his gaze and noticed that
Yuri’s POV It was midnight when I woke up. Despite feeling a comforting warmth, my head throbbed with intense pain. ‘What happened? Where am I?’ Slowly, I opened my eyes, and as my vision cleared, I was startled by the sight of a broad back looming before me. It was solid and imposing. Startled, I jumped in surprise. The man, with his jet-black hair resembling the night sky, had removed his top and used it to cover my body. His furrowed brows met my gaze as he turned to face me. “You’re awake?” Beta Theodore’s voice broke the silence, instantly reminding me of the events leading up to my current predicament in this unfamiliar place. Right. I was trying to retrieve my dress, but I fell into the river, and then Theodore tried to save me. Actually, he really did save me. Speaking of the dress, I peeked at my body and realized that I was only dressed in my underwear and brassiere. Feeling a rush of embarrassment, I tightly clutched the coat around me, desperately trying to cover
Third Person’s POV “Do you love her?” Cyrus asked Matthew. Love. Matthew and Yel knew that word. It is a feeling of passion and intense longing for something that one wants to be in his arms. For werewolves, love means possessing the things they want in life. Matthew loves hunting. Yel loves teasing other people. However, in relationships with the other gender, they haven’t ventured into the true meaning of that. When female werewolves were still alive, male werewolves were bound to find their mates and be with them for the rest of their lives. However, they couldn’t conclude that was the fruit of love. It was instinct. So, they couldn’t understand when Cyrus asked Matthew if he loved Yuri. Sensing the confusion etched on Matthew and Yel’s faces, Cyrus laughed. “Oh, right.” He caught his face with his palm. “We lived in a place where love isn’t important. Werewolves go by instinct, and when it comes to the opposite sex, we only knew that finding our mates was only important
Third Person’s POV Throughout the tumultuous search, Mikhail tirelessly scoured the area, refusing to take a break in his desperate quest to find Yuri. It was only when the rain finally ceased, and the sun emerged from behind the clouds that Mikhail stumbled upon a nearby cave. As he cautiously approached the entrance, a distinct scent wafted towards him, unmistakably Yuri’s. Filled with a mix of relief and concern, Mikhail couldn’t contain his excitement and called out Yuri’s name as he hurriedly made his way inside the cave. “Yuri!” His sole desire was to see her, to ensure her safety as soon as possible. Upon reaching the cave’s entrance, Mikhail’s eyes widened in astonishment. There, he beheld the unexpected sight of Yuri and Beta Theodore together. However, his surprise quickly turned to shock as he noticed that Yuri was only clad in her undergarments. Theodore, too, was similarly attired, with his coat draped around Yuri’s shivering form. A deep growl escaped from Mikhail
Yuri’s eyes widened in astonishment as she observed the group of creatures approaching the East. “What the hell are those?” she exclaimed, unable to comprehend the sight before her. The truth is that these animals were not the majestic dragons she had heard about in fairy tales but rather a fearsome species known as “Doro dragons.” “It’s Doro Dragons,” Mikhail explained to Yuri. “Right,” Theodore agreed, and he gritted his teeth. He was disappointed in himself for forgetting the current date. Typically, after the Blue Moon ceremony, these dangerous Doro dragons would conclude their mating rituals and lay their eggs in abandoned megapode nests hidden within the lush greenery. Only then would they embark on their journey back to the desert. Mikhail and Theodore had momentarily overlooked this fact, as their primary focus had been on safely returning Yuri to their Pack. “It looks scary,” Yuri commented. Yuri’s comment about the Doro dragon being scary was not unfounded. This cre
Yuri’s POV I couldn't quite recall how things ended between the werewolves and the Doro dragons. All I knew was that I managed to escape, clinging onto Matthew's shoulder as we ventured into the forest. As my blurry vision gradually cleared, the first thing that came into focus was a broad, oversized leaf. It swayed gently in the breeze, revealing glimpses of the blue sky beyond. I slowly rose to my feet, feeling a throbbing sensation in my head for a brief moment. Letting out a sigh, I leaned back to gather my thoughts. When I turned my head slightly, a shock of black hair caught my attention. And there, with his eyes closed, was Theodore's entire face in front of me. ‘I remembered seeing him fight endlessly, blocking all the Doro’s attacks for me.’ I gently touched his cheek, hoping to wake him up. But Theodore remained motionless, his eyes still closed. "Is he sleeping, or did he collapse?" I wondered aloud. I stood up to assess the situation. To my surprise, I found four m
Yuri’s POV Cyrus and I were left alone because the other four werewolves went away to prepare for the things, we need in order to be safe while living away from the Pack here in the deepest part of the forest. “Your wounds won’t scar. Don’t worry,” he said as he gently applied ointment to the already dried wounds, soothing the pain. I looked at the wounds and back to his face. “Did the Alpha really say it?” I asked. “That you need to mate with the new mating partner?” he replied. “Yeah. Is he really that kind of bastard who only thought of his breeding goal when I was out in the woods, hanging with my life?” I elaborated. Cyrus laughed before he answered, “Yes.” I rolled my eyes and cursed under my breath, ‘Fuck him.’ “He did not even know if I am alive or not. What a selfish jerk,” I complained, only because I knew that Cyrus would not relay this message to the Alpha. If I were in Theodore's presence, I wouldn't dare utter these words. Cyrus, understanding my predicament,
Third Person’s POVThe werewolves were in a feast because of the upcoming Blue Moon Ceremony.However, Doctor Cyrus found Theodore sitting next to the river. It was the same river where Yuri almost drowned three hundred years ago.“Hey,” Cyrus called.Theodore paused and looked at the Doctor.“Why are you here, alone? Everyone was busy, but you’re spending your time here alone,” Cyrus said as he took the seat next to Theodore.“Speak for yourself. You are alone too,” Theodore replied, throwing a stone into the river.Cyrus chuckled and nodded his head. “That’s right. I am a loner, too, I guess. I brought beers from the human world. Want to share together?”Theodore smiled, and he got the beer from Cyrus.The two of them drank their beers silently while looking at the dawn.It will be night soon.“The Pack was so big right now,” Cyrus said. “Matthew also found his mate among the ladies. He’s about to get married next month. Isn’t this the time to find yours too?”Theodore answered, “No
Yuri’s POVThree hundred years passed by.After the passage of three centuries, I stood before the mirror, gazing at my reflection and marveling at my three-hundred-year-old appearance."Remarkable," I murmured to myself, gently touching my flawless skin. "Being a werewolf truly has its advantages. I seem to have defied the aging process entirely."Mikhail's words echoed in my mind, confirming the truth behind his claim that werewolves remained forever youthful.Suddenly, a voice interrupted my thoughts, pulling me back to reality."Are you content with admiring yourself and considering yourself beautiful?" the voice questioned.I turned my head and found my eldest daughter standing there, her arms crossed in disapproval."What brings you here, Mom?" she inquired, her tone laced with frustration. "Your eldest daughter was anxiously waiting outside before the commencement of the Blue Moon Party. And here you are, secluded in your room. Even Father was searching for you!"I nodded in ag
Yuri's POV'He is your mate.'A voice echoed in my mind as I laid eyes on Mikhail standing in front of me. I instantly recognized the source of the voice - it was Ri, my wolf residing within me.I had heard stories about werewolves being destined to be with their true mates. And now, it seemed clear why I had fallen in love with Mikhail despite my wolf and memories being locked away.It was fate; our paths intertwined."W-Who are you?!" Chase shouted, which made Mikhail and I turn our heads to my ex-lover.Chase instinctively took a step back, as did the men accompanying him. They clearly didn't want to provoke a confrontation with a formidable creature capable of delivering a fatal blow with a single strike."You're not the red wolf I encountered before. Who are you?" Chase questioned, his confusion evident.Red wolf?My suspicions were confirmed. Chase had indeed encountered Thunder!Mikhail, with a calm demeanor, responded to Chase's inquiry. "Who am I, you said." In a swift motion
Third Person's POVThe guard assigned to watch over Yuri's room received instructions to search the garage as Megan had possibly dropped her wallet there. Despite his efforts, he was unable to locate the missing item. Disappointed, he made his way back into the grand mansion, intending to inform Megan about his unsuccessful search."Did she really leave her wallet there?" he murmured while walking in the middle of the dark hallway.His footsteps, however, stopped when he heard a peculiar sound emanating from the darkness. He turned around to investigate the source of the noise."Who's there?" he called out, his voice echoing through the empty corridor.Silence. No response came, and no figure emerged from the shadows.Frustrated, he muttered to himself, "Damn. Perhaps I need more rest," as he rubbed his tired eyes with his hand. Resigned, he turned around, preparing to continue his path forward. However, just as he pivoted, a sudden figure materialized behind him, striking his head fo
Third Person's POVHours had passed since the intense battle between Mikhail and Thunder had begun. The hall was filled with the sight of blood splattering everywhere, leaving the spectators in awe and breathless as they watched the brutal scene unfold before their eyes.Both werewolves displayed their immense strength as they relentlessly slashed, bit, and attacked each other. However, neither of them had succumbed to their injuries just yet.Amidst the chaos, one werewolf couldn't help but voice their doubts. "Is it possible? If Alpha Thunder truly holds the title of Alpha, then he should have already eliminated the cursed rogue."Another werewolf pondered the idea. "But what if Mikhail was actually telling the truth?""You mean to say that Alpha Thunder isn't the rightful Alpha?" questioned another."I find it hard to believe that Mikhail was cursed solely because of Alpha Thunder and his father from the other Pack with the Mage," added another werewolf."Does this mean that we sho
Third Person's POV"Mikhail went to Thunder!"Upon hearing Yel's shocking revelation, Doctor Cyrus's grip on the syringe loosened, causing it to fall to the ground. He inquired, "What did you just say?"Yel, with a solemn expression, added, "Mikhail went there with the intention of putting an end to everything."Realizing the gravity of the situation, Cyrus knew that he and Yel had to accompany Mikhail. "We must hurry and go there!" he exclaimed.With a sense of urgency, both Cyrus and Yel sprinted towards the hall, following the sound of commotion.

It dawned on him that this must be the reason why he couldn't sense Yuri and their child leaving the premises.Where could they have gone?But Mikhail's instincts told him that Yuri hadn't left willingly. The real question that plagued his mind was, "Who had taken them?"A fiery determination ignited within him as his eyes turned a menacing shade of red.He gazed out of the open window, a low growl escaping his throat as he transformed into his powerful black wolf form. With a swift leap, he descended from the window, his destination clear in his mind.

Yuri’s POV“I am your wolf that was sealed in your body. My name is Ri.” When the white wolf introduced herself, memories of Cyrus's deception flooded my mind. He had always insisted that I was just a mere human, Perhaps, Cyrus had known my connection with Mikhail all along. He lied intentionally for my sake.“I am a werewolf, right?” I asked."By now, you should have already known. Would I have revealed myself to you if you weren't?"Her sassy reply made me chuckle. It was undeniable that this wolf was a reflection of my own personality. We were more alike than I had initially thought.Seeking answers, I pressed further, wanting to understand why Ri had chosen to reveal herself to me. "But why did you appear? I thought my mother had sealed everything away," I questioned, my fear of the dream ending before I could uncover the complete truth.Ri's response was firm and filled with disappointment. "Yuri, it was because you broke your promise," she stated. "The wolf was bound by a sea
