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 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
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 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
With quick steps and a strong stomp, I circled the mansion. I'm sure I now have an unfriendly look on my face with two frowns on my forehead just because of one person who didn't understand his responsibilities. That man should have been ready and greeting the guests, not disappearing and hiding like a child playing hide-and-seek."Cony?" I called several times, but there was no response.I don't know where that man had gone, but I struggled to find him. There was no connection between us even though we were engaged. It felt like a massive wall was blocking us, and we were just going through the motions.The engagement between me and Cony was not my wish at all. Dad had arranged everything, from who I could hang out with to who I would marry later. And the choice fell on Cony, the would-be alpha who was quite famous for his large family.Dad never asked me if I would live with him or how I felt. He did everything with his thoughts and desires. I didn't refuse, not because I was intere
I clenched my hands tightly at my sides. The breath I'd been holding was now ragged. Everything I saw felt wrong, and I wanted to kick it. Like a pebble on the side of the road, with my heart beating strongly, I kicked it."Damn it!" I cursed as I rubbed my face to stop myself from exploding. It felt so unfair. I was expelled for revealing the truth. Even though it felt like a long time ago that father had become so cold and no longer looked at me the way he looked at Jane, even though, from any point of view, I should be the one who deserved the most affection, because I was the man's biological daughter, not Jane!I wanted so badly to scream and release all the embers that I had been harbouring for a long time. And today, the embers were even hotter because of my sister and fiancé. "I didn't expect Cony to have an affair with Jane."My hands were still clenched, and I walked back down the slightly wet street from the drizzle. "And what's even more ridiculous. How could you defend bo
I believe that a mate in the life of a werewolf is an absolute. Moongoddes has given us a lifelong mate who will accompany us through thick and thin.I've known all this since childhood, and my mother told me wonderful bedtime stories. It's always been said that werewolves like us are always given one mate to accompany them for a long life.But then I no longer thought about it when my father asked me to marry Cony. I obviously couldn't refuse and chose to follow his wishes. Because Cony is an alpha, it will positively impact our whole family. Yes, if only there was no such thing as betrayal in life, all these sad stories wouldn't have happened.I opened my eyes just as the sun had risen so high. The hotel room's wide-open window made me frown briefly to adjust the light. Finally, after the drowsiness left, I sat down with my head half down. Noticing how my feet were bare on the soft fur rug.I took a long breath, shaking my head to eliminate all the bad thoughts that suddenly came to
"Cony and Jane are getting married next month," I muttered as I read the message from Selena. I laughed maniacally, feeling that this was bound to happen.No wonder those two shameless people are getting married soon. I wouldn't be surprised. Because it would have been more surprising if Jane hadn't picked up the scrap I'd thrown away. That's natural. She likes worthless things.Then I texted Selena back with a smile, "What a lovely pair of snakes." And put my cell phone back into the bag. Afterwards, I looked at the streets, which were quite crowded. The little thought of how they didn't think about my feelings when making this decision still felt a little suffocating.Looking back, I was the one who put in the most effort for the family. But now look at the advantage for me. But it's no big deal, I'll get up again and leave that pain behind. They were no longer something that could stand in the way of my dreams and path.I gave a slight nod and encouraged myself. "I can do this. It

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
