ALPHA CARLOS' POVI had just received a report from my subordinate who had returned from Alpha Easton’s residence. His rejection, coupled with the arrogant attitude he displayed, made my blood boil. My fists clenched as I imagined how satisfying it would be to destroy that smug young alpha’s face.“That foolish alpha! He’s completely out of line,” I muttered, barely containing my rage. Easton didn’t care about what happened to Jasmine, my daughter. Should I remind him that he owes me? I helped him when he needed it. And now, he dares to act like he doesn’t need anyone’s help.That idiot! It seems I’ll need to teach him a valuable lesson. He’s too blind to see what truly matters. Choosing a Luna isn’t something to be taken lightly, and he’s made a massive mistake. Jasmine is the perfect choice—strong, well-trained, and with alpha blood.Most importantly, Jasmine wants him. That alone is enough for me. It doesn’t matter what Easton thinks or how stubborn he is; he will belong to my daug
JASMINE'S POVWith boots on and protective gear, I walked toward the camp with my chin held high. I was fully healed, with no scars or anything to hold me back. Confidently, I stopped before the fighters, prepared for the battle ahead. These were all fighters trained by my father and Beta. These werewolves had been trained to use weapons and their bodies to fight and eliminate enemies without mercy. Some of them bore deep scars from previous wars—so deep that their werewolf healing abilities couldn't fully restore their skin to its original state.I scanned everyone present, ensuring no signs of fear or hesitation. "Prepare yourselves, we’ll soon be launching an attack on the White Moon pack."The strength of the White Moon pack was no exaggeration; they were highly trained werewolves with formidable abilities. But that didn’t scare me because my fighters were just as skilled. They had the experience of numerous battles behind them."Make sure no one deserts or flees, because this is
Lea’s POVAnd here I am now. Standing on the second floor of the towering camp pack building. My gaze is fixed on the fighters below, all busy training and sparring with one another. There's no time to relax—tense and calculating expressions mark the faces of everyone here.I take a deep breath and close my eyes. "I'm part of this war." I am also one of the triggers for the tense situation we now face. The fight for survival has brought about far more significant problems.It’s still hard to believe it has come to this. Even though Easton repeatedly tells me, it's not my fault, that lingering sense of guilt follows me wherever I go. Even at night, when I sleep, I often wake up haunted by a realization: the dangerous truth of the words, “They are fighting for me.”Not only are the troops busy, but Easton is as occupied as they are. This has caused a distance between us. We rarely see each other anymore. There's no time for long conversations; Easton often returns late at night when I’m
LEA'S POVI almost drifted off to sleep when Easton suddenly picked me up from the narrow chair and carried me away. Looking up, I was startled to find that he was taking me to the couch and throwing me down on it.My eyes widened in surprise. “Easton!” My voice sounded like a high-pitched squeal. Even though Easton didn’t throw me forcefully, I was still shocked by his sudden movement.Instead of apologizing, Easton chuckled softly and hovered over me. Our eyes met, and the smile on his lips remained unchanged. He kissed my lips sweetly, then moved to my nose and eyelids.He didn’t stop there. Easton kissed my forehead, neck, and ears, delighting me. “What are you doing?” I looked at him, unable to stop laughing. Easton had no intention of answering—he just laughed heartily. He continued kissing every part of my face until I giggled uncontrollably.It felt like he was playing his favorite game, not stopping, even though I was squealing from the tickling sensation. But finally, when I
LEA'S POVI followed where my mother's footsteps took me away. With a furrowed brow, I didn't understand what he would do. I had no clue about something he wanted to show me.We walked outside the house and drove the car to his home. I was even more confused because my mother didn't say the slightest bit about her purpose in bringing me. He was still holding my hand, half-dragging her to the second floor, where my mother's room was.I stopped in front of the door. My mother entered and seemed to open the drawer under her stomach. The woman was silent for a moment and took a deep breath. "Lea, come here. I want to show you this."Finally, I walked in and stood behind my mother. The woman turned around slowly, with a wooden box in her hand—a wooden box no larger than two inches in size than an adult man's hand."This is an ancient dagger belonging to the werewolf predecessors." Mother opened the wooden box with the intricate carving. A small dagger with a wooden handle and old character
ALPHA CARLOS' POVI wanted to slap Easton when I heard Dion's report about what the alpha had done. My hands clenched violently, my anger bubbling so overwhelmingly. My gaze sharpened, and my breath felt so hot. My blood boiled to the tip of my head, and I might explode in a moment.My hand slammed into the table violently until the glass on top of it shook and fell over. "Damn, bastard! Brunei once he is against me? Does he think he is the most powerful?" I roared with a thunderous voice, filling the tent that had been my shade while training the fighters.Not satisfied enough, I took the bottle of wine accompanying me all along, throwing it on the floor until it broke into pieces. My breath was even more hunting, along with the image of how arrogant Easton was treating me. He might forget if I still remember all the good I had done to him. Little loser, I was furious at what he had done to me.My breath penetrated roughly, and I put my hands on the table. "It's very presumptuous tha
ALPHA CARLOS POVI know the man in front of me is so vile that he deserves an award for beinga the most selfish father in the world. He’s willing to sell his own daughter for personal gain. Just look at his eyes—those gleaming, obsessive eyes lit up when we discussed the deal. He doesn’t care if it ruins his daughter or leads to her tragic death.But that’s not a problem for me. In fact, it’s an opportunity I can exploit to my advantage. Men as cunning and power-hungry as him are often blind and concerned only with their desires. As long as he gets what he wants, it doesn’t matter what he has to do to get it.So, I nodded, putting on the most convincing face I could muster. “Of course, you’ll benefit from this collaboration, Alpha James.”“I wouldn’t come here empty-handed without an offer. I’m proposing a great deal that I’m sure you won’t refuse once you hear the results.” I baited him a little, and I’m sure his wife would agree with this. Luna Maria’s boldness in trying to manipula
Easton’s POVI took a deep breath, watching Lea from across the training arena. Her focused gaze locked on me, full of determination and confidence, made me feel both proud and cautious. She wasn't just my mate and a fierce warrior—a Luna worthy of recognition. We were preparing for a significant battle fast approaching, and this training was more than just a physical clash. It was about syncing our strength and strategy, ensuring every move flowed in perfect harmony.I stepped forward, tightening my fists. "You ready, Lea?" I asked, my deep voice carrying the weight of a challenge. I knew the answer before she spoke, but I wanted to hear that determination from her lips."Of course," she replied without hesitation, a small smile curving. A smile full of confidence, with a glint of challenge I knew all too well. My mate never disappointed me.Lea moved first, fast and agile. I barely had time to react as she shot forward, attacking with incredible speed. Our bodies collided, her fist
LEA'S POVDays have turned into weeks, and weeks have turned into months. Time continues to pass quickly until my pregnancy has reached nine months. My belly has grown, with the fetus moving actively every day. There is no moment that is not thrilling every day to see my fetus showing its increasingly agile state in there. And today, the miracle will come true. I would see the most beautiful gift of my life as it was time for my baby to be born into the world.Sweat was pouring down my face, and the pain was relentless. My eyes were closed, and my breathing was carefully managed. The doctor and nurses were by my side, preparing all the necessities for me to survive the birth of my child. Easton was no exception. My eyes are also here, standing with two eyebrows tightly linked.My mouth opened and closed, with my eyes tightly closed. My hands were clenched into fists, whimpering slightly as the pain continued to attack me from within. I wanted so badly to scream, but every time my mou
LEA'S POVI was still laughing when Easton said not to let him find me. The ice cream in my hand was about to melt, and I could only shake my head. I enjoyed playing chase with Eatson because it was a lot of fun.However, when the ice cream in my hand ran out and I turned around, I was shocked by Eatson's presence. He was already standing with his arms crossed over his chest, and his eyes gazed right at me flatly.I knew that I would be caught. I didn't expect it to be this soon. The phone call ended a few minutes ago, and my eyes were already here. I smiled, looking at Easton, who hadn't left his spot. Even when silent and doing nothing like this, Easton still looks handsome. Very handsome. "Why do you like testing my patience so much, Lea?" Easton's voice sounded annoyed, his eyebrows dipping down with a crumpled face. He walked over and carefully checked my head and other body parts.A long sigh escaped Easton's mouth. He massaged his head as he shook his head. "You know, what yo
LEA'S POVThe news was so shocking that my mouth opened and closed silently. Easton's eyes were shining, and he kissed my hand repeatedly. While I wasn't sure what I had just heard. "So, I'm really pregnant?"Easton nodded, his smile expanding beautifully. I almost squealed, but I held back because my hand was covering my mouth to keep from screaming. Such news made my heart swell. My emotions were exploding like fireworks on New Year's Eve.I lowered my head, staring at my still-flat stomach. My hand moved and came down, rubbing the surface with emotion. "I'm going to have a baby." What a wonderful surprise! Moongoodess had given me a very special gift. I couldn't wait to tell her I was so happy for her."Are you happy?" asked Easton.I looked up, then nodded. The man etta[ smiled, then gave the back of my hand a small peck. One of his free hands moved down, rubbing my stomach before placing it on top of mine. A warm feeling quickly spread through my heart."I'm really happy with thi
Easton's POVLea was lying on the bed, unconscious. She collapsed while we still walked around enjoying the morning air on the hill. Her face looked so pale, and her temperature had dropped. Le seemed exhausted, whereas she had always had tremendous energy as an alpha female.I took a deep breath and rubbed Lea's forehead. My mind was racing, wondering what was going on. Could this all be an effect of the war we had been through? Could something have hit Lea while I was unconscious? Or, worst of all, I was the one who caused this. If anything terrible happened to Lea, I couldn't forgive myself. She was half of my life. She was everything to me. Seeing Lea helplessly made my heart feel sick and uncomfortable.My gaze shifted to Doctor Sean, who had just finished examining Lea's condition. "So, what happened to Lea?"I hoped that Lea would be fine and that she wasn't in severe pain. My forehead furrowed deeply. It had been some time since we had been inside this house. But there was n
LEA’S POVI no longer count how long it's been since Easton woke up from his long slumber. Because all the time we've spent together feels so enjoyable. There's no regret or other hurts, we can smile at each other without any burden.Like today, unexpectedly Easton prepared a surprise dinner right in front of his house. The spacious yard with many lush trees was transformed into a romantic dinner setting with candles beautifully scattered in various corners. A table covered in white cloth with delicious food awaited us.I could only laugh with my hand covering my mouth. Easton pulled out a chair for me. "What's all this? Why are you making such an effort?" I said, laughing. Truly, Easton is completely unpredictable with what he will do next.Easton smiled gently. The man was dressed in a black suit with neatly combed hair. His perfume spread, making me feel so captivated by him. "A little surprise for my beautiful mate. It's been a while since we had dinner outdoors."Ah, that's right
EASTON’S POVThey’ve gathered here just as I asked. The doctor who has been overseeing my condition in the pack, Dr. Sean, is also here, along with my mother and, of course, my mate, Lea. It’s not without reason that I’ve called these important people together. I need to confirm something after waking up from my long sleep. According to Lea, I had been unconscious and unresponsive for three days. And now, my body feels much lighter. If my suspicions are correct, this will be very good news for me.Dr. Sean holds a file in his hand, and I can see him glancing back and forth between the notes he’s taken. His brow furrows as he seems to think deeply before giving a small nod. After setting the notes down on the table, he clears his throat. "It appears that the curse Alpha Easton has been living with has disappeared."One short sentence, but it immediately makes Lea, sitting beside me, straighten up. I can feel her excitement, though she doesn’t show it outwardly. "Disappeared?" She doub
LEA'S POVEaston sat on the bed after I handed him a glass of water to soothe his throat. His dry lips no longer looked as parched as before. His eyes now focused on me, gazing deeply, filled with a glimmer of concern as vast as the ocean.Easton looked at me intently, one of his hands gently touching my cheek. "I tore it that day." He softly caressed the scar that had faded entirely, a scar caused by Easton when he lost consciousness during the battle."You must have been in pain, and it was my doing." Easton’s eyes, usually firm, now appeared fragile. "I should have protected you there. But instead, I hurt you with my own hands."I shook my head, holding Easton's hand on my cheek. "It wasn’t your fault, Easton."I hadn’t finished speaking, but Easton shook his head. "But I’m the one who hurt you. You bled because of my claws. You should have been more careful."I shook my head again, disagreeing with Easton as I looked deeply into his eyes. "It was just a small wound, not even enoug
LEA'S POVIt's already the third day since the doctor decided to keep observing Easton’s condition. Now, I’m buried in a pile of documents that need to be completed quickly due to the overwhelming amount of work. I’ve taken over his duties as Alpha, handling all of Easton’s responsibilities left unattended while unconscious. This includes pack-related matters and the job at the company where I’ve been serving as his secretary.“Take these,” I said, handing Leo over some documents I’d just reviewed. Easton's beta stood in front of me, taking everything I handed over. He’d also placed some new files on the desk, which I needed to finish by tomorrow at the latest.Leo nodded slightly. “Thank you, Luna Lea.” He straightened up while I returned to the remaining documents. Lunchtime had passed, and I’d just finished my meal at the desk. I figured going out would be a waste of time, so I ate here and got back to the endless work.But Leo hadn’t left yet. He was still standing there. I paused
LEA’S POVIt has been three days since that last fight. Easton still hasn't opened his eyes; there is no movement at all from his body. There are no signs indicating he will wake up anytime soon. He remains deep in his sleep, and the energy that usually radiates so strongly from him has vanished, no longer shining with the intensity I used to feel every day. This room, which usually feels spacious and comfortable, has now turned eerily silent and empty. Even though it's just Easton and me here, this silence feels more oppressive and more terrifying. Only I can gaze at him, touch him, hoping for even the slightest sign of life from him. But there is none. He keeps his eyes closed in a frightening calm as if time has stopped around him. The morning sunlight streams through the wide-open window, flooding the room with warm light, yet Easton remains unmoved. There’s not even the slightest indication that he is disturbed by the light, which usually makes him frown. I approach him, sitt
