Cecilia’s POV

Everything around me turned blurry. In the pitch-black depths of the river, countless glowing red fish swam toward me. I felt like the life force inside me was being drained, but I kept reaching out toward Ulysses.

“Ulysses—!”

The next second, I jolted awake from the nightmare, letting out a sharp cry.

My throat felt like it had been scraped raw by rough gravel, and I couldn’t believe the hoarse groan that came from my own mouth. But that wasn’t the most shocking part.

I wasn’t at the bottom of the river, nor had I managed to grab Ulysses.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself inside a dark underground cave. Looking up, I could see a distant gray sky through a small hole. The walls around me were black stone, embedded with pale, glowing pearls that gave off a faint white light.

Where am I? I thought I was supposed to have drowned in the river, yet here I was, lying in an empty cave. No Ulysses, no strange red fish.

I checked my clothes. Maybe it was Ulysses' magical robe

    Cecilia’s POVWhat? I stared in disbelief at the innocent girl in front of me. She tilted her head slightly, the white lace over her eyes making her look fragile and helpless. But I wasn’t the type of person to feel sorry for someone just because they appeared vulnerable.“No, I’m looking for someone,” I said firmly, rejecting her offer without hesitation.My refusal clearly hurt her, and her face showed a trace of sadness.Still, she was a gentle and kind girl. Even though she looked disappointed, she didn’t beg me to stay.“Why are you living here alone? Is it because of your eyes?” I asked, trying to change the subject, feeling a little guilty about making her sad.“I’m waiting for my brother,” she suddenly smiled and replied.“My brother always comes to see me. If I lived somewhere else, he wouldn’t be able to find me.” The girl in the white dress turned her head, her lace-covered eyes staring directly at the door, as if she knew exactly where it was.“Did you hear that?

    Cecilia’s POVI was just about to say something when the girl came out of the kitchen, holding a new teacup and a fragrant teapot.“Brother, today is such a wonderful day. It’s been so long since we’ve had a new guest,” she said, handing me the cup.“Yes, I didn’t expect anyone besides me to make it here,” Ulysses replied, wrapping his arm around the girl, pulling her close to sit beside him. It seemed like he couldn’t bear to have her even a little bit away from him.The sight in front of me made my chest ache, like venom from a snake was still coursing through my veins, making my limbs tremble with pain.I picked up the cup in my hands, the steam brushing against my cheeks, and I saw my tired, blue eyes reflected in the surface of the tea.Seeing Ulysses act like this was enough to stop my mind from functioning. I took a deep breath, ordering myself not to look at him as he cozied up to the girl.I couldn’t believe Ulysses didn’t remember me. Something was wrong, and I needed to fin

    Cecilia’s POVWhen Ulysses pushed away the black robe from my hands, I only had time to notice his expression—completely indifferent.At first, I thought Ulysses truly didn’t recognize me, just as he had been acting. But when my emotions were about to spiral out of control, I keenly noticed something strange about the robe in my hands.After I left that beautiful little house, I draped Ulysses' robe back over my shoulders. That’s when I realized that at some point, Ulysses had discreetly placed his bird-shaped brooch on the robe.Recalling Ulysses’ earlier expression, I ran my fingers over the brooch. Though it was made of black crystal forming the shape of a raven, it didn’t feel cold to the touch. Instead, it gave off a faint warmth, like I was caressing warm water.As the memory of Ulysses tenderly embracing that girl flashed in my mind, a bitter laugh escaped my throat.“Heh, wizards really are masters of deception,” I muttered, clenching the brooch tightly in my hand, gritting my

    Cecilia’s POVThe moment I realized everything had been orchestrated by Ulysses, the fury inside me nearly consumed my rational mind.I grabbed the black raven by the neck, forcing it to turn its head and look at me. Its pitiful eyes gleamed as they met my own intense gaze.“What’s going on here?” I demanded.“Oh, dear master, where would you like me to begin?” the raven stammered, its eyes darting nervously.“Start with why Ulysses is pretending to be that girl’s brother,” I answered coldly.“Well, actually,” the raven slumped its wings as if it was stalling, “I don’t really know much. I was only guiding Ulysses’ boat along the river when, as you saw, a bunch of strange glowing red fish suddenly attacked. Ulysses lost consciousness and fell into the river, and just before he blacked out, I turned back into a brooch. After that, I couldn’t see anything until I was handed over to you.”The raven’s raspy voice seemed like it was being dragged from its throat with each word, and I felt t

    Cecilia’s POVI didn’t let it last. The warmth of his breath enveloped me, and I just needed to confirm that the man standing in front of me was truly my Ulysses. Not the brother of that strange girl, not the man who looked at me with unfamiliar eyes.This was the scent of the Ulysses I knew. I gripped his long red hair tightly, not caring whether it hurt him, using all my strength to pull him closer to me. I needed his embrace, his presence, to know for certain that it was really him standing before me.“Ulysses, is it really you?” I whispered, running my fingers over his face, my arms locked around his neck like a creature clinging to a tree.He didn’t answer me, just gazed down with those deep, mysterious eyes. Sensing something in my movements, he suddenly pulled me into his arms.Ulysses cupped my chin, our noses brushing, like two animals confirming each other’s scent.“What are you afraid of, my princess?” Ulysses asked softly, his gaze lingering on my lips. He guided my hand t

    Cecilia’s POVHer long white dress fluttered like lilies, and her red hair whipped through the air. The girl who shared my name stood at the edge of the pond, clutching a bouquet of white irises."Brother, are you leaving me?"Her voice trembled, full of sorrow, as if she were about to cry. Her pale, fragile face was veiled with white lace, hiding her eyes, but anyone could hear the sadness and pain in her voice."I…" Ulysses started but then fell silent.I studied his expression, and to my surprise, I saw guilt in his eyes as he looked at the girl.“Ulysses?!” Alarmed, I shouted in his ear, trying to snap him out of whatever strange trance this girl had put him in."I... I can't go with you," Ulysses murmured, stepping back as if he had just woken from a deep sleep. His hand pressed to his temple like he was in pain, his face filled with confusion.“What do you want? Just say it.”My patience had run out. Ulysses was awake now, and I wasn’t going to let him fall back into whatever tw

    Cecilia’s POVFrom the moment our hands touched, a humid mist rushed toward me, and instinctively, I closed my eyes. When I opened them again, I found myself in a completely unfamiliar place.I was in a luxurious bedchamber, filled with ornate decorations. The delicate curtains, embroidered with intricate patterns, swayed gently. I stood on a soft, plush woolen carpet, unsure why the girl had brought me to this place.On a golden bed lay a figure. I looked around and saw no one else in the room except for the person on the bed.Step by step, I approached the bed. When I pulled back the soft curtains, my eyes widened. Ulysses was lying there!I immediately reached out to wake him from his slumber, but before I could touch him, my wrist was grabbed."Don’t wake up my brother," the girl in the white dress said beside me."Your brother?" I frowned, staring at the person on the bed. I realized that the Ulysses lying there looked younger, almost as if he was a more youthful version of himse

A wave of frustration surged inside me, yet I had an unsettling feeling that I was close to uncovering the truth.“Don’t you get it?” The girl continued to speak, as if she were a wilting flower, indifferent to my confusion.“I am your past self, Cecilia.”It was as though a thunderclap exploded in my mind. I stared into her lifeless brown eyes, her words hitting me like a storm, sending ripples of shock through my thoughts.“Wha… what… Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!”I stood up in disbelief, knocking over the teacup on the table. The white porcelain shattered into pieces across the floor. I was the daughter of the king, the proud princess of the werewolf nation. How could my past life possibly be her?Her memories had never appeared in my mind. How could I be… her?“Cecilia,” she raised her face, unbothered by my outburst. “This is your name. It’s also my name.”

    [Rose's P.O.V.]Thankfully, Jane finally agreed to go home. I thought the clothes and shoes looked great, but we were spending money like water. I just hoped that Edward would still treat me kindly when he found out.On our way back, Jane suggested that we refreshed ourselves somewhere. Dylan eventually kindly bought me some strawberry ice cream and got a cup of coffee for Jane. We thanked him and I took a sip of Jane's coffee but it tasted as bitter as my previous life.As we drove back to the pack, I finally felt more relaxed. The scenery was so beautiful that I felt like I was living in a fairytale. I suddenly remembered something."Jane, do you feel like there were some moments today when someone was staring at us?""Huh? Like when?""When we were shopping.""That's normal, Luna. It's most likely the shop assistants watching us.""It didn't feel like it. I could feel his gaze, but I didn't know where he was.""Oh Luna, I don't know what you're talking about but it's making my hair

    [Jane's P.O.V.]"Jane, this is my credit card. Take Rose shopping."I was having breakfast in the restaurant when I met Alpha and Luna and the former gave me his credit card. This was bound to be a happy day. No female would say no to an all-paid-for shopping spree! And with a sister too. By then, I had already forgotten about Luna exposing my oral sex in public."Edward, aren't you coming?""Sorry, Babe. I have something important to do at work. Dylan will escort you."Luna pouted but I quickly grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the scene.I brought Luna to the front of the castle where a car was already waiting for us there. A big guy got out of the driver's seat and walked around to open the door for us. It was Dylan. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses to match his black uniform. His bulkiness made him look like a wall."Luna Rose, Gamma Jane, it's my honor to escort you.""Dylan, aren't you going to be hot in such a thick outfit?" Our Luna was always a curious baby."Luna,

    [Patrick's P.O.V.]Luna shocked me again. I have heard some legends about the Werewolves of Chaos - they are powerful and terrifying beings - but never would I have thought they were real and had abilities that were so powerful.Fortunately, Werewolves of Chaos were very rare. Otherwise, our world would be in chaos. Although I believed Luna would never use her abilities to do bad things, I could only imagine what kinds of destruction they would bring if they fell into the wrong hands.After coming out of Alpha's office, I reported to him that I was going to find Diana after going home first.As soon as I stepped into my house, I heard an argument unfolding. Needless to say, it was between my little brother, Noah, and his lover from the Elven race.I did not mean to eavesdrop, but I heard the elf named Eve yell that my brother was becoming colder to her. My brother responded that she was a liar and I agreed with him. She had tricked him into sleeping with her, then got pregnant, and no

    [Rose's P.O.V.]Soon after I gave my first time to Edward, we continued and Edward took me to heaven again and again until I finally had to stop because my legs had gone weak and our stomachs had started growling.Each time we ended a round, Edward would wrap me in his strong arms and look at me as if I were a piece of treasure. And I just knew that he loved me with all his heart, just as I loved him.My first time was with this man, the handsome boy I had met once when I was ten. He was the man I was meant to be with, and I had gone through so much to be with him. I willingly let him pleasure me again and again.My willingness also came with a hidden intention - I wanted to see if I would be able to activate any other abilities after mating with Edward. But this thought only took up a tiny part of my mind. I was willing to give my body, my mind, and my soul to him even without such intentions.We finally got out of bed, only to shower together. We rubbed body wash on each other which

    [Edward's P.O.V.]I woke up in the middle of the night and saw my mate curled up next to me in the moonlight. She was getting a little cuddly.Although she was asleep, I saw a slight frown on her face. I couldn't tell if she was dreaming about something bad. After all, the amount of information that was revealed between the two of us yesterday was too much.When Rose and I found out that she had activated her ability, I was worried. Being able to know what other people were thinking was a scary ability to have, to say the least. Rose was also very upset because she was still not used to it. The amount of information she 'overheard' during the second half of the ceremony almost made her little brain explode.I had held her in my arms before we went to bed last night. I wasn't even in the mood to think about whether she could have sex with me anymore. She had seemed a little upset and helpless. So I patiently comforted her and told her to try to get used to having the ability, and if po

    [Edward's P.O.V.]I saw Rose looking at me in surprise, but I didn't know what had happened.'Why is she looking at me like that? I only hoped that the ceremony would end soon. I can't wait any longer.'"Edward, what did you just say? You can't wait to have sex with me?" asked Rose to me when the guards started to gather around us."I didn't say anything just now!"I was very confused. I wanted to ask Rose what had happened because I seemed to have felt an extraordinary hot air burst out from her center. However, the other werewolves didn't seem to feel anything unusual. Perhaps I was thinking too much. Was it just a gust of hot wind just now?We didn't have time to communicate because the ceremony was still going on. The guards quickly surrounded and set up cover for us. We took off our clothes and turned into our wolves, Champion and Charlotte. I was once again reminded of Charlotte's beauty and uniqueness.When Champion and Charlotte reappeared in front of the crowd, the pack membe

    [Edward's P.O.V.]When I was done with some temporary matters, I found my way back to Rose at the dinner party. She and Jane were standing in front of a round table and I quickly realized that it was Emily's table where she sat with a few of her best friends, and Emily's expression looked terrible right now."Rose, what happened?" I just wanted to make sure that my mate didn't suffer any losses thanks to Emily."Nothing much. I was just chatting with these ladies. They were looking forward to my ceremony."I kissed Rose in front of Emily. Her previous behavior had annoyed me, and I had yet to find a suitable reason to punish or expel her. After all, her father had coincidentally saved my grandfather's life in the past and the former had been given the privilege of clan merit. But that didn't mean that I wouldn't do anything bad to her, especially if she mistreated my Rose.By the end of the dinner, the area in front of the platform outside the castle was already packed with members of

  • Claimed by My Enemy Alpha Mate   55 The Argument at the Dinner

    [Rose's P.O.V.]I followed Edward down the stairs to the castle hall for the dinner before the ceremony. Eating during events such as these usually happened in the dining hall. But there were too many people and the dining hall didn't seem to have enough space to fit them all. So Alpha Leon relocated the dining area to the castle hall. It was also the first time I saw so many werewolves in the castle. When they saw us arrive, they stood up and showed their respect.Edward and I had a simple meal before he brought me to each table to do our round of greetings. I saw Lily come back from school to attend my Luna ceremony, but otherwise, most of the people here were unfamiliar faces. The only thing I knew about them was that they were the representatives of every werewolf family in the pack. There were men and women as well as the old and young. I simply kept smiling at them as a sign of friendliness while I greeted them.As we were nearing the end of our round of greetings, Edward was su

    [Rose's P.O.V.]In the past two days, everyone had been preparing for my Luna ceremony. Edward said that according to tradition, this would be much grander than the welcoming ceremony. The castle would invite the family representatives of all the members of the pack to have dinner together before they witnessed my coronation together.When Edward and I went to the dining hall for breakfast in the morning, we bumped into Patrick who had just returned from somewhere. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was all smiles."Patrick, seems like you just came back from somewhere.""Yes, Luna. I was with Diana the whole of last night.""You're amazing, Patrick. What trick did you use?""Luna, I'm very sad that you actually think that I'm a person who takes advantage of others. I just hugged her to sleep. Although we kissed, we didn't do anything else.""Oh my God, is this still you, Pat?" Jane joined us. Her eyes were as wide as brass bells as if she didn't believe Patrick's words at
