The next day, early in the morning, Jennifer and Raymond headed in the direction of the village.They were wearing the clothes that villagers usually wore. Raymond did not have to change his clothing style much. Only the quality of the fabrics was low. He wore a less costly shirt and pants.Meanwhile, Jennifer had to wear a plain dress instead of Luna's elegant attire and jewels.She was nervous. She had never stayed in a crowded place before. She would have to live like an ordinary person for a few days, which was a good thing for her because she wanted to live like that. But she was not alone. Raymond would be there with her. If she, by any chance, made any mistake, he would be angry at her."Don't worry. All you have to do is stay like them." Raymond's voice came to her ears.She turned her head to face him. He was very calm as if he had done it a few more times before.Jennifer doubted if he really went to live like villagers in his pack villages before."I have arranged clothes
She extended her hand. "Give me these bags."Raymond passed her and went to the kitchen. He placed them on the kitchen counter.She closed the door and went to the kitchen."These were heavy." He mumbled and left the kitchen.Jennifer did some searching and came across the knife. She took it in her hands and immediately began peeling the vegetables.It took her an hour to prepare lunch.In that tiny living room, there was a table that was just big enough for two people. So she brought the dishes there and placed them nicely."Alpha, lunch is ready."Raymond was in the bedroom when Jennifer called him. He came out of the room and was surprised.Jennifer had cooked so many dishes with just a few types of vegetables."You cooked all of these?""Yeah." Jennifer replied softly. But her tone was not so exciting. Raymond knew that she had been ignoring him for the last few months.Raymond pulled out a chair for himself to sit in. Jennifer moved over to the other chair and sat down.She grabb
Raymond left, and Jennifer went in the direction of the women. They were lounging on a large mat together. As they were seated in a circle, she could see that there were a variety of snacks in the midst of them. It was possible that there were more than twenty women seated there.After Jennifer came to a stop in front of them, everyone turned their attention to her. When the elderly woman spotted her, she immediately stood up."Dear, please come here. Take a seat with us."She made Jennifer sit down next to her. Jennifer gave her a warm grin as she felt her pleasant gesture. She looked around at the others.There were many middle-aged women, old women, and younger women sitting there. Their eyes were judgmental. Jennifer could feel their eyes skimming her from head to toe."Introduce yourself." A young woman, who looked confident, spoke out."I am Jennifer. I used to live in the town, but my house was destroyed during the war. My husband and I moved here so that we could start a new l
Everyone noticed Jennifer's reaction and did not feel anything strange. Because they also felt the same when they saw that girl. In the meantime, Jennifer's chest began to hurt with anguish.She was also a cursed wolf.Her father spent his whole life trying to hide her mark from others. She felt very bad for that girl. She had no idea how much pain the girl had been through for all these years. She realized that the man had been telling the villagers false information about the passing of his wife. It was not an accident that took the life of his wife; rather, it was the fact that she gave birth to a cursed wolf.Jennifer shed a tear, and it ran down her cheek. When that old lady stroked her shoulder, she quickly wiped away the tears that had been falling down her face."It's okay. That girl is not here anymore."Jennifer turned to the old lady. "Where is she?""We don't know. When his father committed suicide, she left somewhere and did not come back again."Jennifer prayed in her
She blinked her eyes a few times. His face was closer to hers. She gulped and lowered her head.'Did I really stop thinking about him?'She asked the question to herself. Is it possible that she still loved him despite the fact that she claimed to be uninterested in him and made every effort to steer clear of him?She felt him lean closer to her ear. When his breath touched her ear, she immediately shut her eyes."The answer is No." He whispered in her ear."The new young couple is really romantic!" The women who were in the meetup and whose homes were located along the same path were passing them. Jennifer gave Raymond a small shove before beginning to walk ahead.He chuckled while looking at her. A woman stopped next to Raymond and said,"Raynold, my son."Raymond turned to the woman and realized that Jennifer had given them the wrong name of him."Yes?""She is a good girl. Always take care of her like that."Raymond stared at the woman with an indifferent face. He did know about
In the flow of emotion, Jennifer forgot what he had told her once. The incident totally traumatized her mind and brought all of her feelings back."I can't live without you. Please, don't abandon me." She begged while hugging him."I will never do that." He promised and looked at her ripped clothes.He took off his shirt and wrapped it around her. After that, he picked her up and cradled her in his arms.She tried to glance at the men who were lying dead on the ground. But Raymond did not let her see them much."Just forgot about these bastards. Whoever dares to touch what is mine will be put to death in a way so cruel that they could not have imagined it."She looked at his face. She wrapped her hands around his neck and rested her head against his chest.Like a child, she stayed quiet while he was walking back to the cottage.They caught the attention of people who were passing them. They glanced at them. Jennifer did not even bother to look in their direction. Her attention was dra
When Jennifer opened her eyes, it was already morning. She rubbed her eyes before glancing around the room.She tried to sit up but felt pain all over her body. Her entire body ached like hell.It reminded her of what had happened last night.She raised herself to a sitting position after applying some force to her arms. She was naked under the blanket that was wrapped around her body.Raymond was not in the room. She wondered where he had gone.She lifted her hand and touched her forehead. She had a headache. She attempted to retrieve something from the drawer that was located next to the bed. She proceeded to open it up and then took the box of medications that Robin had given her before their arrival here.When she opened the box, her hand stopped on a pill while she was searching for painkillers inside.'Emergency Pill'She took the pill in her hand and studied it for a considerable amount of time. She knew that she could not hope for more from Robin. Other people were unaware of
Jennifer bit her bottom lip when she heard Raymond's reply.She lowered her head. He admitted that he wanted her. She did not want more than that. It was evidence that he had feelings for her; if he didn't, there would be no reason for him to want her.She could feel his hand running over her hair gently. At that moment, they heard someone knocking on the main door.Raymond got to his feet and headed to the cabinet. He took out a black T-shirt and wore it. Then he turned to her and said,"Take a shower. I am going to check who has come."She gave him a nod and waited for him to leave the room. When he opened the door and left after closing the door behind him, she stood up. The painkillers really worked on her. She did not feel any pain in her body. She went to the bathroom and took a quick shower.She came out while wrapping a towel on her body and walked to the small cabinet. She pulled out one dress and hurriedly put it on.She wrapped a scarf around her neck, thinking someone was
FIVE YEARS LATER"Daniel, come here.""No, Mom. If you can, catch me."It appeared to be the most beautiful scenery. A young woman and a kid were running the whole room.At that time, a young man entered the room and found them running. He closed the door and lifted the kid into his arms."Raymond, hold him tight. I am coming." Jennifer remarked before rushing over to Raymond. She took hold of the young boy and immediately began to tickle him."Mom, I can't," Daniel said and laughed.Daniel was their son. He was only five years old. But his parents were raising him like a strong child. He learned many things at this young age. His father told him he needed to be a big man one day and rule all the packs together.After setting Daniel down, Jennifer turned her attention to Raymond."Where were you?""I was talking with Pedro about all the guests. They are on their way. You need to get ready right away, sweetheart." He replied and kissed her cheek.Daniel stared at them. Jennifer blushed
EIGHT MONTHS LATEROn the rooftop, Jennifer had a clear view of the moon from where she was standing.Today, it was the full moon.They said that the night of the full moon was the night when werewolves gained more strength and power.She slowly caressed her belly and smiled at the moon."I hope you will give your glow to my child. It's a moonchild."The moon was in full light. She could see the whole forest illuminated under the moonlight."Luna, Alpha will return in no time." She was able to pick up on Evaly's voice.She turned around and flashed a grin in her direction."I am coming."Evaly nodded her head and left the rooftop. Jennifer glanced at the place where the secret tunnel was located. Now that Raymond had sealed off the tunnel, he assured everyone that there was no need to run away. Everyone was safe under his protection.Jennifer headed downstairs. Everyone could go to the rooftop now. There was no forbidden law about not going there.She made her way to the living room,
Hendrick smiled while looking at Jennifer. "I told you. You don't even know the power that you possess, Luna." He mumbled.Jennifer picked up the knife that was lying on the ground and used it to stab Safrina in the arm. But no blood came out of her body.Safrina raised her head and shook her head at Jennifer."You can't kill me. Everything in my body is frozen."Jennifer turned to Raymond, who was glaring at Safrina. He wanted to shift and ripped her head off her body. But Hendrick stopped him."Alpha, you can't kill her like that. She will only hurt you."Livana stood up from the ground. Her whole body was hurting. But she came forward and said,"Give me the knife."Jennifer threw it to Livana, and a hand grabbed it.It was not Livana who grabbed it. It was someone else.Jennifer spoke out in surprise."Keith!"Keith looked at Raymond while he held the knife in his hand."That day, you let me go, Alpha Raymond. Today, I came here to repay you by saving your Luna's life."Safrina not
Jennifer gave her a sad smile as she looked at her. Never in her life had she imagined that Donna would help her in danger.Raymond pulled out the gun that he was keeping on the waistline of his pants and aimed at Sandra."I will see her in a little while. The first target is you." Raymond talked about Safrina and wanted to shoot Sandra."No, Alpha. Forgive us. We are foolish to do such a sin." Sandra said while crying."They killed your parents, Raymond. They were the ones who poisoned you." Jennifer said it loudly so that he could hear her.Raymond could not remain in a blank expression. He was shocked to learn the truth.When Alpha Mark saw everyone now knew the truth, he stopped presenting and nodded his head."Yes, I was the one who did everything. I was never your well-wisher. Your father got to know about my reality, so I killed him with his wife. Now I want to kill you."After saying that, Alpha Mark pulled out his own gun, but Raymond had already pulled the trigger and fired
Jennifer stared at Alpha Mark. She was feeling terrible for Raymond. She was thinking about how he would feel when he got to know that his parent's death was not an accident but a pre-planned murder.She was familiar with the feeling. Her stepmother did the same with her father. So she could feel the pain."Because of our greed, you killed your own brother!" Jennifer muttered.Alpha Mark scoffed at her words. "My brother? I never considered him as my brother. My parents always give him the choice to decide. Why? Why didn't they give me the throne? I am their younger son. They never considered giving it to me. They said it was a law to give the throne to the older son. My brother was a foolish man. He believed me so much that he could not realize what I was doing to him. I was the one who called the Silver Moon pack for an attack. But they were lucky enough to stay alive."Jennifer shook her head. She had no words to describe her emotions. It would not help her in this situation, eithe
When Jennifer finally opened her eyes, she saw a hazy reflection of everything around her in the darkness. She was experiencing an ache in her neck. Her entire body ached, and she felt as if everything had gone numb.She turned her attention to the clear night sky. She was able to sense that her body was bound around a rigid object. Her eyesight became unclouded after she gave a couple of shakes of her head and blinked many times.She was in a forest. There was no one around her. Her body was tied up to a tree.She exerted her efforts to move her body, but then she realized that a rope was knotted around her stomach. So, if she moved with force, it would hurt her stomach.She recalled everything that happened before Sandra hit her neck. She was pregnant. Her baby was inside her stomach. How could she move and hurt her baby?"Oh, finally, you are awake?" Jennifer recognized the sound of the voice.When she turned her head, she looked directly into a set of violet eyes.Her eyes widened
It had been one week since Jennifer returned to the Blood Stone pack. After the wedding night, everything in her life changed.Raymond began to take care of her. He said he wanted to spoil her as much as he could. He became more expressive about his love for her.Jennifer was thrilled now. Finally, she found all of her happiness. There was no burden in her heart to remove.However, one piece of news spread really fast around the packs. It was about her curse.Though Raymond declared that he did not care about his Luna being a cursed wolf, still the people of this pack and the other Alphas were still terrified of what the future held for this pack. They believed it was unfortunate. Since she was a cursed wolf, that meant she was ill-fated.Raymond always told Jennifer that if someday anyone dared to talk about her curse, he would cut off their heads and display it to the whole pack to remember the punishment.It was early in the morning.Jennifer was getting ready.Raymond emerged from
The wedding ceremony was over. After having a grand dinner, all the guests left the hall.Jennifer, Rina, and Evaly all made their way back to the pack house together. Because Rina's child was sound asleep, she was free to go about her day in an unhurried manner.They unlocked the door to the bedroom that belonged to Raymond and Jennifer.Jennifer was taken aback as she took in the room's furnishings and decor.It reminded her of the night when she signed the marriage contract. That night, Raymond was lying on the bed. Something that Alpha Mark mixed with the water had a profound effect on her, and as a result, she found herself naked in front of Raymond. The room was dark that night, and he could not see her. Otherwise, she would die in embarrassment.But it was the night when he woke up from death.She stepped inside and looked around. She was watching the room after so long. It was her room, where she used to live with Raymond. Now she realized how much she had missed this room and
Wearing a beautiful white bridal gown, Jennifer was heading to the hall room where their wedding was to take place.Everything felt like a dream to her. She did not believe it when Raymond told her that he had planned a wedding ceremony for them.She had never imagined that he was talking about this surprise. It was the most wonderful surprise that she could have ever wished for."Luna, are you nervous?" Evaly asked while walking beside her."A little bit." She replied with a smile."You look so beautiful. Alpha will be head over heels for you." Rina remarked and chuckled.When Jennifer heard the remark, it caused her to blush. She could only guess as to what response he would give. He was a mature man. He would never show his emotions in front of others.As the guards bowed to Jennifer and announced her arrival, the large gate leading into the hall opened up.All the eyes shifted to Jennifer. They showed her the greatest respect by bowing to her right away. She was already their Luna
