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
EASTON’S POVThe first attack broke out. The northern territory was set ablaze by fire recklessly ignited by the enemy. Screams and clashes echoed, swords clanging just as fiercely as war cries. Our fighters unleashed their claws, ready to battle anyone approaching from the direction of the enemy. Our pack growled and howled in unison, responding to the challenge ahead. Our fangs bared, ready to tear apart anyone who dared to interfere.Ahead, I spotted Alpha Carlos and Alpha James. I advanced with Lea by my side. Behind us, Leo and Vincent followed closely. At that moment, we locked eyes with Lea's father, who had joined the battle on the enemy’s side. This was unfortunate, as I might have shown him some mercy had he chosen to behave better. He had hurt Lea’s heart just by being here, even though he wasn’t fighting."Lea, you have to keep yourself safe," I said, gripping her hand tightly. "Because I'd go mad if something bad happened to you." I spoke honestly. Lea was my soulmate, my
LEA'S POVSwords clashed in the distance, and much like my allies, I was fighting my enemies barehanded. With clenched fists, I took on anyone who dared come near, punching, kicking, and even using my claws to eliminate the seemingly endless waves of foes determined to strike me down.I leapt into the air, spinning as I kicked two werewolves halfway through shifting. Their heads were wolf-like, but their bodies were still human. I wasted no time, locking my arms around their necks and snapping them, ending their lives in an instant.My body moved instinctively, taking down each approaching enemy without hesitation or mercy. But despite my actions, my heart was uneasy. A part of me couldn’t stop worrying and kept glancing toward Easton to check on him."Is Easton okay?" He was fighting alone while Leo and Vincent fought alongside me. We stood back-to-back, defending each other. But something felt off."Something’s wrong. This doesn't feel right; there must be a sinister plan behind all
LEA'S POVNow I understand. The reason why my father never made me a priority, even though I was the child of his first wife. Apparently, it's because I'm not his biological daughter, I'm not a child born because he exists in this world. Dad wasn't my biological father, and he had hated me for a long time. This reality hit me hard, like a sledgehammer shattering the walls of my hopes.As I reminisced about all the moments I had with him, how clear it was now. All of his indifferent treatment, all of his scathing words, they all came rushing back to my mind. He never felt proud of me, never gave me the recognition or love I wanted. There were only harsh words and curses that filled the space between us. Jane, my sister, was the only happiness for dad. She always shone in his eyes, while I was just a shadow that was never seen.My heart was broken. The words my father spoke were like sharp daggers stabbing straight into my heart. He wanted to kill me to make things better. He could kill
Lea'S POVYes, I did hate him. I hated Alpha James and all the unfair things he did to me during this time. How he lied and used me, he even hated me because I wasn't his flesh and blood. It hurt so much. I was hurt by every word that came out of his mouth. He said all sorts of nasty things and even cursed me. Until the last moment of his death, Alpha James still hated me and wanted to finish me off with his own hands.I swallowed hard. Even though the bad memories and pain stung me so badly, I still couldn't be grateful for Alpha James' death. After all, he and I had lived under the same roof for many years. Making him a father figure, though never fulfilling in any way. He just let me grow up without any love or praise. Even now, when death takes him, he still looks at me with hatred.My body felt frozen, and my breath was held for a long time. Seeing such a sadistic death of someone I considered as family, in fact, made me lose focus just like that. After finishing off two approach
LEA'S POVDrop after drop turned into a puddle. The pain was real, and it was creeping up so fast. My hand went to my arm, where a long scratch from Alpha Carlos was oozing fresh blood. The blood continued to drip and wouldn't stop, even though I had pressed it down with my own palm.However, instead of stopping, I saw that Alpha Carlos was setting up a stance to attack again. My eyes moved quickly to Easton, who still seemed to be clutching his chest in pain. My mind felt so frantic that Alpha Carlos could have killed Easton in one attack and made him lose his life on the battlefield. My heart was beating fast—as fast as Alpha Carlos' movements as he prepared to deliver a strike from his long claws.I could not look away from this horrifying moment. Several werewolves came, charging at Alpha Carlo with their powerful wolf forms. However, no matter how many attacks came, Alpha Carlos quickly slammed them down and made the bodies of his enemies bounce away.Alpha Carlos' eyes were now
LEA'S POVMy eyes fluttered, fully dilated, with my mouth half open. The sound of a powerful impact was right in front of me. Alpha Carlos' body seemed flung far away from where it started. In fact, crashing into the many werewolves behind him until no one could stop him. Whereas before, he almost slashed my head with his claws.But I found Easton standing with his back to me. The moonlight illuminated his body, and his hands were clenched firmly at his sides. My heart was beating rapidly; the beating that had not been weakening was now slowly becoming stronger.Easton hadn't even done anything after throwing Alpha Carlos away, but I could already feel the aura growing stronger. The pressure around him became increasingly uncontrollable, and the air became so cold that it was piercing. The hairs on my arms woke up, raising goosebumps as the feeling of dread grew stronger."Easton?" I called out to Easton softly, a little incredulous at what I was seeing now. Easton looked much stronge
LEA'S POVEven to get close to Easton was such a hard decision. He didn't look like my usual Easton, the one I knew so well. There was something very different, something that made me feel as if I was dealing with someone else- no longer my partner but an uncontrollable creature. Easton could hurt or even destroy me with a single-hand strike. However, amid all this fear, I knew I had to stop him before Easton got even further mired in his rage.I could feel Easton's pressure getting stronger by the second. The energy he was releasing was immense, like a hurricane ready to blow away anything in its path. Every time I tried to step forward, it felt like my feet were being dragged backward by such a huge force, as if the surrounding air was swirling ferociously, pressing and pushing me away. However, I could not retreat. If I retreated now, I might never get her back.The atmosphere around us was tense. The air was cold, but not the usual cold. It was a chill filled with menace, biting e
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
