Chapter 24Alice’s POVThe night sky was draped in darkness, but the moon still managed to cast its silvery glow. I had recently moved my belongings into Alexa's dorm, and I couldn't help but feel that Duke was well aware of this development. As expected, he continued his bothersome behavior by relentlessly knocking on our door."I want pizza," Alexa declared, her eyes glued to her phone, which seemed to be showing something that triggered her pizza cravings. She even licked her lips hungrily, though we had only just finished dinner an hour ago.Lowering her phone, she looked at me, and I could already sense what she had in mind."What's that look for?" I asked, even though I knew exactly what she wanted.She simply nodded, silently coaxing me to accompany her on her pizza quest."The night is quite deep," I remarked."But I want pizza," she said, giving me a pleading look like a child yearning for a new toy.With a sigh, I relented. If this was what she wanted, I would go along with
Chapter 25Adam's POVAs the moon concealed itself behind the clouds, I observed the white wolf as it disappeared into the darkness. Unable to shake off the strange feeling it evoked in me, I decided to shift back to my human form."Who was she?" I muttered to myself. Her eyes seemed familiar, as if I had encountered her before.Earlier, on our way to the convenience store, I heard a distress call from a girl in need of help. When I arrived at the scene, I found the white wolf courageously fending off three attackers. I assisted her momentarily, but as the enemies fled, so did she. What was the reason for her sudden departure?Lost in thought, I was jolted back to reality by someone calling my name. It was my beta, Henry. I had chosen him to be my beta due to our close friendship and his unwavering loyalty. However, it wasn't always easy to avoid mentioning his sister around him.Henry approached me, holding a paper bag from the convenience store. "What happened?" he asked directly, c
Chapter 26Alice’s POVMy body was tired, but my brain didn’t let me rest. All along, until the morning came, I was thinking about Adam. I couldn’t believe that for a long time, since we separated, I saw him again. His face…All about him…I missed him…I hated myself to felt this way. How could my heart still beat for someone who wished me to die? “I saw him again,” I told myself. “Saw whom?” Out of the silence room, I heard Alexa ask me this. I arranged myself to look at her, and saw that her gaze was focused on me. “Nothing.”For a small talk, the silence embraces us again. We wanted to talk about something, but we didn’t know how to start it. I know she wanted to tell me something but she didn’t know how to approached those words. I heard Alexa let out a heavy breath. “Did you want to tell me something?” I was the one who asked her first.“I wanted to tell you, that what you did last night was not right. You broke one of the rules.” Her words were low. I got up. “What do y
Chapter 27Adam's POVThe sun blazed high, its rays penetrating through the window. The wind only seemed to intensify the heat, but my mind remained fixated on the captivating sight from the previous night—the white wolf I longed to meet again. If Henry was correct, this familiar wolf might be my future mate, the one destined to become my Luna."I'm glad to meet the Lovemoon Pack's Alpha," Anastasia smiled at me."I'm also glad to meet my friend's Luna."She was stunning—her flawless skin accentuating her long brown hair, and her powerful eyes radiating strength. Brandon was indeed fortunate to have her as his Luna; she would be the finest Luna for the Moonside Pack."Henry Brook," my friend introduced himself."I know you. I saw you yesterday at Brandon's house."I turned to Henry, expecting him to speak."Yeah, he invited me over earlier, and that's when I learned about his upcoming wedding to the beautiful Luna like you.""Aww... Thank you."I mustered a half-smile, surprised by th
Chapter 1Alice's POV "I don't like her."From within the confines of the room, where Adam was engrossed in conversation with his friends, I caught snippets of words that sent a chill down my spine. My hand, poised to knock gently, froze in mid-air as I overheard those disheartening remarks from my supposed future mate. Clutched in my trembling fingers was a carefully prepared meal, a dish his parents had assured me was one of his favorites. I had hoped to surprise him, but little did I know that I would be the one taken aback.My heart sank as Adam's unkind words echoed in my mind. This wasn't the first time I had heard him speak disparagingly about me. He had never been keen on the idea of us being together, always questioning why he should be forced to marry me out of all the women in our pack. His disdain was not a secret, and he made it known to my face."She's like a weak child, constantly in need of protection. I refuse to have someone so feeble as my partner. I despise her ve
Chapter 2Adam's POVIt was a tiring day. When I got home, I immediately went to my room and let my body rest in my soft bed. Blank ceiling appeared in my eyes. "I reject you as my Luna."I heard again those words I said to that pathetic human. Maybe from what I said, she would understand that I didn't like her. Even if she tried everything, I would never let a weak human be my Luna. Alice was weak. She didn't even surpassed my expectations in girls. I didn't know why my parents wanted her to be my Luna. I did everything to be as powerful as my father, and then the one that was supposed be my Luna was a far cry from my mother's strength? That was unfair on my part. There were some other girls who had the power that would make all men turn. But how the hell, among those girls, did my parents choose that pathetic weak human? From the very start, she shouldn't be in our pack. She was not that important, not even beautiful to be recognized. I hated it when my mind kept reminding me of h
Chapter 3Adam's POVIt has been three hours since I came here to the bottom of the cliff. I heard the water waves and felt the wind even colder now. I didn't stop just to find where Alice was. I looked for her body smell. But I failed to find her. She was not here. I didn't find any body of a weak human. Even her orchid scents disappeared. As the cloud hid the moon, I changed my form. I tried even harder to find Alice and went somewhere that might be her hideout. But I never found anyone here. I let my heavy breath out. "Where are you, Alice?" As I told those words to me, I remembered her mom. She cried a lot and thought that her child might be dead now. How could I tell the news to my pack? They might have blamed me for what happened to my future Luna. Soon, I would become an Alpha, and what happened to her was not good for my reputation. My parents would have hated me if they found out the reason why Alice committed that shit.If she did jumped off the cliff, she was so stupid
Chapter 4The Lycan King's POVIt was dark. A little girl cried a lot. She felt scared. She was terrified. The wind became ferocious as the thunder grew irate. In the woods, I ran. I was trying to find the girl who had called my name. I looked all over for her. But I failed to be with her when she needed me the most. She lost. I lost her. I lost my child in the woods. I got up. I dreamed of it again. The trauma had been hunting me every time I slept. It has been a long time since I lost my child in the woods, but it haunted me every time I closed my eyes. I was always looking for her and heard her cry over and over again, while she yelled my name.It was a nightmare that would haunt me for the rest of my life.As someone walked into my room, I wiped away my sweat"Your highness." She bowed slowly. "Nothing to worry about. I was fine." I let her know that nothing could be worried about. "I just... I just dreamed about it again. The same nightmare, when I lost her."I didn't want to
