“Why do you always stare at me? Do you want to say something?” Raymond asked without looking at her. Jennifer shook her head and approached him. “The meeting went well.”“Hmm,” he hummed and blew smoke out of his mouth.Jennifer stood before him, feeling an inexplicable urge to talk with this man about her life.He looked at her. “What?”Jennifer bit her lips to utter a word but was nervous. “Do you want appreciation?” He asked. “For what?”“For the Pack meeting? Wait.”He turned the wheelchair and went beside the bed. He opened the bedside drawer and took out his money bag. Jennifer saw him taking out a black card.“Here.” He extended the card to her. She frowned when she saw it was a credit card. What would she do with it?“Take it.”Jennifer did not move, nor did she take the card from him.“You did well. I can see you are working hard. Take this and go shopping. Buy anything you want.”She raised her eyebrows as he handed her his card. If it weren’t for her work, she could ha
Jennifer had been sitting on the couch for quite some time. Donna had not returned to the living room since she came. She remained in Raymond’s room.As Jennifer sat, a memory flashed through her mind—a vivid scene of her mate engaged in an intimate act with another woman, Christina.That betrayal hit her heart once again, breaking her. These few days, she had nearly forgotten her identity and her background. She believed she had gotten a new life. However, Raymond’s words came rushing back to her. Right from the moment he woke up, it was clear as day that their marriage was merely a business deal.‘It’s just a matter of days. How can I possibly fall for him? Am I being too desperate?’ She thought.“Are you too desperate to have someone? Are you too eager to feel at ease?” She closed her eyes and questioned herself, her back pressed against the couch.She would never forget how her stepmother and stepsister treated her. They always beat and mistreat her for no apparent reason. Her Pac
“I-I am in h-heat.”Raymond was indifferent. He nodded and continued to do his work as if it was not a big deal.Jennifer’s eyes glistened as she quickly looked away, feeling embarrassed. It was an extremely private period for a she-wolf when they desired to mate with male wolves, particularly Alphas. They wanted to have sex with their mates, and if none were available, they would endure excruciating pain instead.Gently, she walked over to the couch, lay down, and rolled into a ball, feeling the pain intensifying in her abdomen.A few minutes later, she heard a low growl, which took her aback. As she raised her head, she noticed Raymond staring at her, his appearance far from a picture of good health. He seemed infuriated, far from being okay.“W-What happened?” She asked.“Just go take a cold shower. Right now.”He sounded enraged. Jennifer had no idea why he had told her that. However, she reasoned that it would make her feel better. So she got up, went to the closet, took out her
Her tears fell over his cheeks when he kissed her. She leaned over him completely, pressing her body against his. Raymond’s hand descended, gently caressing her thigh, while his other hand secured her head, aiming to tilt it and fulfill his desire to kiss her as he pleased.Jennifer felt more desperate and unknowingly rubbed herself over him. He groaned, and she moaned loudly in the kiss.Releasing her lips, he gazed into her eyes. The intensity of his gaze made her desire to conceal herself from him, yet her body seemed to act on its own accord, beyond her control.“I-I am in p-pain.” His red eyes fixated on her red and swollen lips, conveying an intense longing. He felt the kiss was not enough, and he yearned for more.He rubbed his thumb over her moist lips and was about to kiss her again, then suddenly, the door swung open. “What the hell!”Robin was shocked and instantly turned around.When Raymond heard Robin, he came back to his senses. “What are you doing here?” Raymond as
“Where is your son?”Jennifer looked at Raymond, who was observing Alpha Mark.“He went outside in the early morning. Do you have any work with him, my son?” Alpha Mark inquired.Raymond shook his head as he delicately sliced the steak.“I believe he is wasting his time without work. Therefore, he must also bear some responsibility.”Upon hearing this, Sandra smiled widely. “You are right. He must carry a certain level of responsibility. He is your brother. He should look after you.”Raymond smirked, “We will see who takes care of whom.”“What do you mean?”“Nothing.”Jennifer cast a glance at Beta Justin. ‘Did he mention anything to Raymond? Is Raymond angry about how Masson treated me? Does he care about me?’ She quietly ate while thinking.She suddenly felt safe because someone genuinely cared about her, even though he proclaimed not to like her. ‘At the end of the day, we are husband and wife,’ she thought. Her cheeks flushed, catching Sandra’s attention.“Are you feeling okay?”
Jennifer was engrossed in her work, carefully poring over the papers before her. Understanding the intricacies of the task at hand would undoubtedly require a considerable amount of time. Thanks to the guidance provided by Theta Padro in training her for folder-related matters, Jennifer was working on some files about the education system. As she delved into the documents, memories flooded her mind, reminding her of her unfulfilled desire to venture out like other girls and study outside. Unfortunately, her stepfamily had vehemently opposed such aspirations, denying her the opportunity.Letting out a sigh, Jennifer redirected her attention to the papers strewn across her desk. However, her concentration was interrupted by a series of knocks on the door.“Come in,” she said.A maid brought her lunch to her room. Jennifer could not believe how many hours went by at work, and she did not even notice. She ate lunch in her office and worked until late at night.When she went outside, she
Jennifer stood up from the couch immediately.“W-Why is he c-coming here?”Everyone was surprised by her tone and reaction. Raymond was observing her expression with his sharp eyes.“What happened, Jennifer?” Delta Brian asked.Realizing her action, she gulped and sat down slowly. She tried to calm herself and asked,“Nothing. How come the new Alpha was coming to our Pack? I mean, why so suddenly? I didn’t hear about this.”Gamma Glen shook his head. “He wanted to come last week, but Raymond declined. However, today he reached out to Raymond, stating that he had something important to discuss, So Raymond told him to come tomorrow.”Jennifer tightened her fists when she heard Nathan was coming to tell Raymond something.What would he say to Raymond? Would he tell Raymond everything about her? About her identity?Jennifer felt heavy in her chest. She tried to start a new life here. Why was her past coming to destroy her life?“Have you ever been to the Blood Pearl Pack?” Jennifer heard
Nathan’s eyes widened. “Luna? How is this possible?”Beta Justin came to him and said, “Your Pack did not get any invitation for the wedding?” Nathan gave Jennifer a look, “Wedding?”Raymond glanced at Alpha Mark. “You didn’t send any invitation to the Blood Pearl Pack?”Alpha Mark looked at Jennifer, who appeared to be confused. Then he turned to look at Raymond.“Well, I invited a few Alphas only. The Blood Pearl Pack had no Alpha then, so I did not send any invitation.”“I see,” Raymond replied and turned his head to Jennifer.“Greet Alpha Nathan. He is our guest.”Jennifer could feel her heart start to beat quickly. When Raymond told Nathan that she was his Luna, she was shocked. This was the first time he called her Luna. She was afraid of losing him, though.Jennifer shut her eyes and thought, ‘I am his Luna. No one can do anything to me. I can’t be scared of a cheater.’She raised her head and looked straight into Nathan’s eyes. He seemed mad. What did he want? After what he
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
