LEA'S POV"What do you mean?" Instantly, the father's friendly tone changed drastically. The look in his eyes was no longer that of a father who doted on his daughter. It was a glint that was unbecoming of someone with a father's name in it.I exhaled harshly. "Alpha Ramos told me you sold my name and Eatson's to borrow money. Isn't that not right?""I don't even have any connection with the Dawn Nightstalkers pack anymore." And when I said this, Ramos and the other alpha frowned."So, Luna Lea has no connection to the Dennison family?" I turned to the two of them and nodded."Oh, did you guys not hear that my father kicked me out a few months ago? That was even before I met Alpha Easton. So we don't have any relationship with him now." I glanced at my father, who looked bright red.And look at the man now. His eyes were bulging, and his fists clenched tightly. 'Lea! What are you saying exactly? You're acting like a woman with no manners!"As always, Dad's tone was raised when he spok
LEA'S POVWe sat together in the car in silence. My feelings were still mixed and uncomfortable. Dad's gaze and the way he spoke made me so disgusted and angry simultaneously."So you really are his biological son?" Easton's voice interrupted my reverie. I looked up and found the man's face contorted in confusion at me.I smiled wryly and looked away toward the car window, where the street scene clearly passed by quickly. It was like I left them behind and let them pass by.I let out a sigh and chuckled. "Yes, it's only fitting that so many people are questioning it. Because, in fact, I am the biological son of Alpha James.""Although I seem like a stepchild in his eyes, that's how it is. We have the same blood running through our bodies." This painful reality has been with me for many years. Since I was a child and even into adulthood. Father never saw me as his own daughter.I could tell that Easton didn't know what to answer. Because at this moment, he immediately fell silent and l
LEA'S POVI woke up past midnight, and the wall clock showed one in the morning. My eyes and throat felt heavy, and my body was uncomfortable. My gaze fell on Easton, who had just sat on the bed. The man's eyes gazed at me gently.Easton gently rubbed my head. "Why are you awake? I just moved you to the bed a while ago."Ah, apparently, I fell asleep in front of the door before this. No wonder Easton's face looked worried. He didn't even take his gaze off me. With a short sigh, I shook my head. To be honest, my throat felt uncomfortable.But Easton didn't just believe me. He stayed by my side and held my hand gently. "Did I disturb your sleep? Or is this yesterday's problem?""No, I just happened to wake up." I had no reason to burden Easton with all my messed-up thoughts. All the problems I had were my own. They had been with me even before I met Easton."You don't have to worry." Because I will definitely solve it myself. I'll ensure the people who hate me can't interfere with Easto
LEA'S POVThis room was where Easton kept the data about all his soldiers—personal data, where they were all selected people who had passed Easton's special qualifications. Their photos were protected with special access, and only Easton and his chosen ones knew about it. And now, I was one of those chosen people."So, how many elite troops does Easton have?" I asked Vincent while looking at the list in front of me. A clear and easy-to-understand map of the area and security posts disguised as entertainment and dining venues were scattered around. This was unusual, as they had also done so wholeheartedly so as not to be suspected by the opposing party. In this case, the opponents they were referring to were those trying to find the exact location of Easton's special agents and those trying to destroy the pack. They can also be covert spies with these outposts because no one knows who they are. The people who came could have leaked secrets.Vincent cleared his throat. "There are some
LEA'S POVThe hot weather and scorching heat didn't make me lose my enthusiasm for working on myself. It's just the right thing to reheat my muscles that have been idle for a long time and only do easy work. I'm sitting thinking and forgetting that I also need to stretch my fighter muscles that used to be able to subvert those ignorant alphas who love to scare women.I looked at the werewolf in front of me one by one. Five people were now in the ready position. "Don't take me halfway. Fight me seriously. Because I'm pretty good at fighting.""Yes, Luna!" I really liked how passionate they were about their task. And this time, I immediately set up a stance and prepared to attack them. One foot in front and the other behind. My hands were clenched in front of my chest, with my breathing set to be steady and unhurried.For a moment, I noticed the comparison between the height and body size of all of us. They all looked vast and complex to knock down. But I might be able to try with agili
EASTON'S POVThe big meeting with one of the CEOs of the largest oil refinery in the city had just finished a few minutes ago. Leo and I left the meeting room and went to the elevator to exit the building. Before I arrived, I had to pass through a long hallway with urn ornaments on the sides of the walls.The few people who did know me seemed to greet me with smiles and respectful bows. I just glanced at them for a moment and walked back. Just as I turned a corner in one of the hallways, I felt intense pressure from the front.We crossed paths, and his voice carried right behind me. "I didn't expect that you would finally have a Luna."I knew him well, and there was no need to question who he was. Thursday had been known for a very long time. It was no wonder that she dared to reprimand me differently.So I stopped without turning my head towards her. "Yes, Miss Jasmine." It would have been better if she had not continued asking after this because I knew this woman would not just ask
Easton's POVI nodded in agreement with what Leo said about Lea. Although she has never shown strength, Lea is a challenging and robust woman. Her aura is strong and can be suppressed even if she just stands still and watches. I've felt it since the first time we were in an unpleasant situation. Lea can hold her own and still look like a predator even when backed into a corner.In addition, one of the advantages of a couple destined by the moon goddess is that I can feel that there is a great strength inside Lea that is still well hidden—a power that hasn't been released yet and needs time to be released. Lea may not have realized it yet because she didn't look like she was working on it. Lea seemed calm and just focused on what she was doing.I flicked my hair up and sighed. "I have to teach Lea to control her powers." The shadow on top of the elevator seemed to stare back at me. I was absolutely sure that this was the right decision. Lea needed to strengthen herself so as not to be
Easton’s P.O.V.The sleepiness was gone, and I opened my eyes in the morning. Light from the sun peeked through the gaps in the window curtains that were not fully closed. I immediately dried my body, facing Lea fully.That sleeping beauty’s face looked so innocent when her eyes were closed. She looked like a woman who was spoiled and sweet at the same time. And I felt so happy about it.I hadn’t looked away when Lea slowly opened her eyes. She blinked and looked at me with half of her life not yet gathered.“Good morning, my beautiful Lun.” And Lea gave a small smile and nodded. She almost opened her mouth to reply, but I had already spoken back. “I'm sure this beautiful woman dreams of me every night.”Lea immediately snorted. “What did you say?”I chuckled and kissed her face. It started with her forehead before moving down to her cheeks, chin, and face. Lea laughed loudly, holding my face back from continuously showering her with kisses. “Stop it, Easton, it's ticklish!”I didn’t
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
