“Th-threat letter?” Beta Runabis appeared confused. He scratched his head while glancing at the men behind him. “Threat letter? Alpha Rune, what are you talking about?”

“You did not send it? Your gang is infamous for sending letters before you kill your victims.”

“Victims?” The Beta sounded a bit pissed. “Those we kill are not victims. We only kill those harmful to our pack's growth and the glory of your throne. Do you want to say things did not improve after Beta Sorri and Borri died? Those two gave you hell and dared your authority in the worst way.”

“Did you or did you not send the threat letter?” Rune insisted on his question. He needed to be sure where to look for answers.

“No, we did not.” Beta Runabis sounded pissed, but he was trying his best not to show it. “We have not sent a letter since you were banished. The Wolfkin gang works for you, even if you refuse to acknowledge it.”

Extremely thick silence followed. Eye contacts were made, and gazes were evaded.

    Rose turned her back to Rune. She did not want him to see her tears, and she was not willing to see the yearning on his face—the yearning to help her. She feared she would spill all the details of her past once their eyes met. That must not happen, she thought. The moment it does, he might run away from her like others did.Quickly realising that Rune could be listening to her thoughts, Rose shut her mind down and focused on the greenery scene the window was presenting. Her teary eyes followed the way the leaves danced with the wind, and moments later, she wished that someday, she could be that free—free from the shackles of her past, from the shackles of her terrible marriage with Richard, free from the souls that desired to hurt her. A thought occurred to her while she wished for those things. That thought suggested that she should fight harder to secure her happiness. That was something she could work towards, she reasoned. However, at that moment, with the painful memory dan

    After Natasha made her eat before administering medicine, Rose slept to ease her wandering mind. So, when she woke up, she easily decided to finally face Rune and possibly speak to him about the burden of her past. As a soul-relaxing yawn left her, she climbed out of bed and walked out of the room while she inwardly questioned the intense silence she was sensing. Rune was not outside the door. Nobody else was in sight. “Rune?” The subtle darkness in the poorly lit corridors made the silence somewhat scary. “Are you there? Symon? Keith? Where is everybody?”Rose hoped that she was not having an abandonment nightmare while awake. The case had better be that she had a poor sense of direction and was too unfamiliar with the layout of the new location. “Seriously?” Her forehead deepened with a frown, her hands clasped to contain the fright attempting to overpower her. “Rune. Please answer me.” That bothering moment felt worse because her mate was not replying through their mind link ei

    Maxon, without telling Catherine, went on a trip to the human country. After observing how the humans fussed about Rune’s arrest, he and the investigator headed to the President’s building. He walked in and ignored the people screaming because of the wolf trotting behind him. Maxon had instructed the investigator to shift to his wolf form. He desired to show President Christopher a glimpse of the destruction that could befall Bruania. So, he was very pleased that the investigator’s wolf was mighty enough to cause the ground to shake.When they reached the grand entrance of the President’s main office, the wolf scattered the door, startling the occupants of the room they were about to raid. “Christopher.” Maxon focused on the man seated by an enormous table at the end of the room. “There you are.”“Wh-Wh-What are you doing here?” the man stuttered while the woman seated opposite him covered her face and ran out of the room. Maxon was not there to spill blood, or he would have order

    “And four other people,” Rose concluded her first statement, and a breath that shook her escaped her. If not for Rune’s presence, she would have walked away to cry in a corner. Rune said nothing. He waited for her to speak.After closing her eyes to regain strength, she opened them and held Rune’s hand. “They were my foster parents. After years of being juggled between the orphanage and countless foster homes, I was very happy when I spent more than four months in my parents' home. I thought to myself,” she looked up, “finally, I can be at peace. Finally, I have a family. Finally, I can feel the love I have been desperate for.”“Hmm,” Rune hummed to let her know he was listening.“The first six months were blissful. I was twelve when I moved into their house, so imagine the joy I had when these people pampered me. They fed me well, they did not neglect me. I spoke freely about my desires, and if they could afford it, they got it for me. I loved the new place, it made me happy. Even

    “You are still here,” Rose whispered, and Rune opened his eyes. After their long embrace, they went to sit; Rose sat on Rune’s lap. And, with her head leaning on his shoulder. Rune’s heart ached so much as they remained in that position for a while. He mourned for the younger Rose, who could not find escape from the hell of her parents’ home. And his soul cried for the older Rose, who was still struggling to escape from that previous inferno and the new form of hell chasing after her. It was now that he realised Rose’s agonies were deeper than he had imagined. And his desire to heal them became weak because no matter how he pondered, he could not figure out a way to possibly erase the terrible moments of her life. Moments of that magnitude would want to leech off her strength for as long as possible. “Rune?”He had almost forgotten that she said something to him. “My love,” he hurriedly came back to reality. With his hand playing over her arm, he said, “Of course, I am still her

    “They are wasting their time,” Beta Runabis assured their little gathering. “This hideout is not penetrable by strangers.”Rune folded his arms after he ensured that Rose was indeed eating. “Expatiate,” he said.“Even if they burn the shack above us, they cannot find the entrance. There is no visible entrance.”“That is interesting,” Rune said. “How do we leave if we want to?”“There are three exits. The shack is one, the other two link to the main market and the back of the castle.”“The back of the castle?” Rune frowned. That must be where they pass to execute their murders.“Those are the options.”Rune sighed. “Basically, we should not be bothered by what is going on up there?” The guards were quite loud, it was hard to ignore them.Runabis nodded. “We are safe.”That was enough assurance for Rune. He released his crossed arms and said, “Let us have our meeting in two hours. Since the enemies are not relenting, I want to respond with a bang.” A part of his soul twitched with excit

    “Rune…” Rose whispered while the distant noise of those trying to break into the underground structure continued.“The deaths of my older brothers weakened my father, and I got a chance to take his life.”“Why?” Rose frowned. “If your father was weakened, why did you kill him?”“That was the only way for me to be Alpha King. Had I hesitated, I would have lost to other wolves who were searching for a means to grab the Alpha seat.”Rose could not fathom that sort of desperation. Or should it be called need? So, she asked, “Was that what you wanted?”He smiled. “Yes. And, no.”“I feel I shouldn’t ask more.” As he spoke, his eyes carried an excitement that was more inhumane than normal. “I don’t…” She gave up on what she wanted to say.“What is it?”“I don’t… I don’t know how to explain it. It seems like you didn’t hate killing your father.”“I did not hate it. However,” he adjusted his position, “I did not wish for my brothers to die. That is why I have mixed feelings about everything.”

    When Rose and Rune entered the last room of that building, their fascination with the intricate details of the architecture grew. Most of the buildings were made of stone, but there were areas where art came to life in the form of carefully crafted cemented pillars, finely sculpted arches, and interesting intertwines with nature. Within these details, they found two pools, a hot spring, a rarely stocked library, an inner garden and other rooms similar to the one assigned to them.“Do you think we can find someone to build something similar to this?” Rose asked after recovering from the overwhelming intrigue.“Maybe.” Rune walked out of the room and closed the door. “Why?”Her smile became babyish. “I can picture living here, and I love it.”“Really? That is interesting.”“You don’t like it?” she asked as they hooked arms and proceeded to the room for the meeting.“I don’t like that it is underground.”“Oh, come on. Of course, we cannot live here forever.” Rose laughed. “I meant, out t

    “This… This is the pack,” Rune faintly commented when their journey ended. “So, back there…”“We were still in the human world,” Symon completed. “I am super confused right now.”“I have to find Rose. Other things can come after,” Rune said. But he soon realised that the weakness of his wolf was tampering with his head. He struggled with sorting out his thoughts. “Uh… do you remember the way?”The Beta relieved Rune of the burden of holding Keith. “The hideout is not too far from here. Can you feel Rose’s presence?”That question worsened Rune’s inner burden. “No. I don’t know why.”“Maybe she is asleep,” answered the Beta as he piggybacked the Omega. “If that were the case, I would still be able to sense her soul. But there is nothing.” Rune exhaled hard. “There is no use debating it. Lead the way.”They wasted no time. They reached the hideout, and the moment they descended the stairs, Beta Runabis ran towards them, a frown on his forehead. “Alpha Rune, why are you back?” the Beta

    “I did it,” Christopher tried to tame his excitement as he walked into the multinational-standard laboratory his government had been secretly equipping. “I actually did it.” He glanced at the three he-wolves strapped to the stretchers. “Professor, how do we keep Rune alive?”The professor, a middle-aged man maddened by science and technology, swirled his chair to face Christopher. “Pres, you are here. Liquid is in prep right now.”Christopher rushed a breath out of his soul. The professor’s lingo was always changing, the only constant was how difficult it was to understand him. “Liquid? What liquid?”“The liquid to keep him alive. The bullets didn’t do a lot of damage to the tough guy, but these belts are slowly sucking out his energy. Since the belts are the only way we can hold him down, we cannot loosen them. We need him to be in the best shape, don’t we? So,” the Prof’s crazy eyes widened, “I am preparing a little something.”“I see. That is good.”“What should we do about the oth

    President Christopher was frightened by how much Kate’s plan worked out. The whole thing was too seamless. Based on her instructions, they found their helper, a woman named Natasha, who led them to the place where Rune and Rose were. As discussed, at the right time, Rose was separated from others per the desire of her wicked husband. As for Rune, who was unexpectedly not conscious, Christopher and his secret agents simply followed the men who pushed Rune’s carriage into the gateway. As Christopher’s little group walked through the light, he found the space weird. His heart could not rest easy; his palms itched, and his legs ached to leave. For a second, he thought he would die, but they thankfully reached Bruania before that could happen.“Sir, should we arrest them now?” One of his agents asked with a whisper. After multiple exhales, Christopher stood upright and watched as the men ahead of them glanced behind. They all ducked behind the truck shielding them and waited for the man

    Rose did not argue with the new plan. It would ensure that Rune does not suffer anymore because of the curse. Every other concern could wait. She needed him to get better.So, as she carefully wiped his face to keep it clean, she whispered, “Soon, you will feel better. Don’t worry about anything, Rune. You are going to be fine.” Her teary eyes could not handle how gaunt his face was starting to look. She looked away for some seconds, closed her eyes and wished they could disappear from the pack at that very moment. “Rune…” She looked at him again. “We are going back to Bruania. If staying there does not work, we will relocate to another country.” After a heart-crushing sigh, she kissed his forehead to remind him again that she was still with him. Then, she sat on the small stool next to his bed. She reached for his hand, replaced the washcloth in her hand with a new one, dipped it in water and started cleaning his fingers. “You know, travelling to other countries was something I wo

    When Rose saw what had come out of Rune, she hurriedly grabbed him because she was afraid that he would succumb and stop existing the next second. With her firm hold and tight frown, she supported Rune, who was murmuring about how he was fine while wiping blood off his lips. “Natasha! Healer Natasha!” Keith was as worried as every other person who was trying to hold on to Rune. Rose did not allow anybody else to touch her mate. With her feeble strength, she walked Rune out of that room. She did not let go of him until Natasha appeared and hurried them into a nearby room so that he could lie down. As she desperately watched Rune, Rose was inwardly beating up herself. How could she have been so negligent of the curse he was battling with? Coming back to the pack was already a huge gamble- one that could cost Rune his life. Yet, without saying a word, he had been walking with her, protecting her, listening to her, enduring her nonsense talks. But… She did not… She did not even ask if

    “Luna Takashi,” the Luna Dowager sighed. “You are here.” The sword dropped to the ground. With a graceful smile that highlighted her heart-shaped face, Luna Takashi took three steps closer and said, “You must be tired and frustrated, Luna Dowager. You need to rest.”The woman’s gentle voice got on Catherine’s nerves. However, her mind was clearer now. She realised that she was very close to death, if not for Luna Takashi, she would no longer exist. “This brat, can you imagine the nonsense she just said?” the Dowager complained. It seemed she still wanted to sniff life out of Catherine. “I understand. The former Luna has always been reckless.” Catherine frowned at Takashi. What the fuck was the bitch saying?“You are right,” the Dowager continued. “I don’t know why I bother with a she-wolf who only thinks about a man like a fool.” She glared at Catherine. “This is your last warning. Stay away from Maxon and stick to the plan. Next time, even if the entire universe tries to stop me
