'She is Keith's sister?' Jennifer thought.She nodded at April and turned to Katrina."I see.""There shouldn't be any issues with that, should there?" Katrin inquired while maintaining a wary expression."Why would I have a problem with it?""Well, my brother is Keith. Everyone knows about the rivalry. So you may not like me."Jennifer shook her head and replied,"Nothing is like that. Since you are April's friend, we can get along too. I think it will be easy for us to get along. And with regard to the rivalry, I believe we settled on the terms of the deal that your brother proposed the last time in the pack meeting. Therefore, there is no longer any hostility."When they heard that, the other ladies' faces immediately became relaxed. Jennifer realized that the reason they kept their distance from Katrina was not because of her pack but rather because of Jennifer. They initially acted as though they were waiting to gauge her reaction before changing their behavior accordingly.The s
Jennifer was stunned that Alpha Keith had come to this pack."Oh. Then I am calling my driver to pick me up."Katrina nodded her head in agreement. She looked outside from there, waiting for her brother.While Jennifer was glancing at Katrina, she dialed her driver's number on her phone. She could tell from the young woman's expression how much affection she had for her brother."There he is." She said and gestured her head toward the glass door that detected people and automatically opened to let them come inside.When Jennifer turned her head in that direction, she spotted Alpha Keith approaching them. His eyes fell on her, then moved to her clothes.She realized that she was not in Luna's appearance but in a casual dress."Luna?" She heard her driver's voice. She looked away from Keith and replied,"Come pick me up from Crown City Shopping Mall.""Okay, Luna. I am on the way."Jennifer cut the call and greeted Alpha Keith when he stood in front of them."Alpha Keith."Katrina gave
As Raymond began to look around the cafe, Jennifer's brows wrinkled as she noticed him. She immediately turned away and hid her face with one of her palms.'What is he doing here?' She thought. She made the assumption that he was here for the purpose of dealing with anyone. So she tried to hide herself from him because she did not want to talk to him, at least not after what he had told her today.Keith's eyes landed on her, and he chuckled at her childish behavior."Why are you hiding?" He asked Jennifer.Katrina, who was busy admiring Raymond's handsome face, turned to her brother and noticed he was looking at Jennifer.She turned to her and asked,"Yeah, brother is right. Why are you hiding? Are you trying to control yourself from seeing the good looking man because you are already married?""Kat, stop blabbing." Keith warned her with a warning tone."Oh, brother, I am sorry. I forgot you were here." She mumbled, then laughed.Jennifer heard the siblings' conversation. She learned
Jennifer heard a loud growl. The growl caused her entire body to shake.Everyone who was in the coffee shop was taken aback when they heard the growl. They were unable to fathom the possibility that someone of such formidable might could be so close to them. They were quiet for a few seconds while they glanced around for the wolf that had just growled. But when they could not understand who did it, they went back to their conversation with others.Raymond's eyes narrowed as he fixed them on Keith. While Keith wore a sneer on his face the entire time."Why are you growling? Did I say something wrong? Is she not beautiful in your eyes?" He asked as if it were truly his query and not a mockery of the situation."Just because I am calm down, don't play with my patience. Don't forget that you are still in my pack." Raymond's resonant utterances caused the other two women to remain silent.Katrina was looking down as if she had already submitted to the growl. She slowly looked at Raymond a
Jennifer stared at Keith to comprehend his words. They were heavy words that could not proceed in her head.However, Raymond might figure out what Keith was talking about. That was why his chill mood turned grim.He scowled at him and replied,"What's mine will always be mine. By hook or by crook."Keith nodded his head. "Will see." He then glanced at Jennifer, who looked lost. He smiled at her. "See you soon, Jennifer."Saying that, he left the cafe with his sister.Jennifer was stricken dumb by what had just happened.She could sense Raymond's heat emanating from him. He might be really angry about how Keith had just challenged him for his position.She assumed that they were talking about their packs.She did not dare to look at Raymond. She turned her body to the window and took out her phone from his bag.She was about to dial her driver to pick her up, but he snatched her phone away from her.She turned to him and felt him grabbing her wrist tightly.He tugged her along as he g
Raymond did not reply to her. He threw his phone to her, and she grabbed it immediately."I don't want to use it anymore." She mumbled and locked the phone.She was afraid of where Raymond was taking her. She turned to him to observe him. His eyes were dark. The way he had just cut the call a few minutes ago, she was shocked.'He claims that he loves that woman. Then how can someone cut their lover's call like that?' She thought."Stop staring at me. It won't save you tonight." He said while driving.She took a deep breath and asked in an extremely polite way."Would you be so kind as to tell me where we are going, Alpha?"The lines in his brow deepened."Stop acting like an innocent woman. I have seen what you were doing in that coffee shop.""What was I doing?"His hold on the steering wheel became increasingly tightened. She took a quick look at his hand and swallowed as a result."Tell me what I did. And why did you tell my driver not to pick me up?""Because I wanted to catch yo
Jennifer pushed him. He jerked away from her at the push."Don't come close to me. I don't want to take that one-sided tag once again. You have made your point clear. I have had enough of your muddled thinking."Her statements did not appear to have any impact on him in any way. What moved his mind was her push.His eyes flashed red, and he glared at her.He exerted great effort to maintain his composure and to speak softly to her at all times. However, she should not have pushed him in the first place."I spoiled you too much, so now you have turned into a pampered woman. I think it's time to teach you some manners."She glanced at him and gasped. His red eyes were scowling at her. She could not deny the fact that she was afraid by just looking into his eyes. Her hand unknowingly moved to the door lock and tried to open it. But she was horrified when she found out that the door was locked."S-Stay away from me." She said in dread.Looking at her reaction, he got mad at her and moved
Jennifer felt a pang in her heart.All this time, she only doubted his intention. But a part of her still held the unshakable conviction that he would never leave her behind.However, today, she felt betrayed once again. He indeed felt nothing about her.She could not stop herself anymore. Her eyes glistened at the thought of him disowning her.As if he was perplexed by the situation, he moved back to his seat.She was fixated on him while biting her trembling lips and staring at him. He cast a quick glance in her direction before asking,"When did you become so greedy?"She gave him a scornful look with her glistening eyes. She was not scared of him anymore. All of her fear turned into anger."When? Didn't you think of me as a gold-digger from the beginning?" Her cold tone and penetrating question made him feel discomfort."Listen to-""No, you listen to me." She cut him off in the middle of his sentence and wiped her eyes.She focused her gaze on his eyes before uttering whatever w
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
