The car was completely silent, leaving Jennifer eagerly awaiting Raymond’s response. Yet, to her dismay, nothing reached her ears. She pressed her lips together, understanding his fury all too well. After all, why wouldn’t he be angry? He had married her, only to discover she had a mate.With trepidation, she slowly turned to the right, glancing at Raymond. He stared back at her, his expression vacant, as though unaffected by the situation. However, his silence instilled a sense of fear within her. She swallowed hard, her heart pounding like a marathon, its thunderous beats seemingly audible even to him.“Al-Alpha?” She called with a shaken tone.“So he is your mate?” He finally let out. His chilly voice gave her goosebumps.As she observed their proximity, she realized how rarely they had been this near each other, except for those two nights. Her gaze gently traced his face, lingering on his lips, which appeared soft and rugged. The memory of their touch still lingered on her lips.
Raymond frowned, perplexed by Jennifer. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he had labeled her a greedy woman, and that perception remained unchanged until this morning. Although he heard her, his trust issues prevented him from believing anyone other than himself and his officials. Robin, his close friend and private doctor, held a special position in his life for a reason.But Jennifer? He hardly knew anything about her, nor did he have any personal interest in her. His interaction with her was solely confined to business matters.Why did she say those things about him to that man? He was astonished when he heard that Nathan was her mate.He even cheated on her? He slept with the Alpha and Luna’s daughter?Everything pointed to one conclusion. Nathan was solely to blame. He cheated on his mate and desired to sit on the throne.As Raymond stared at Jennifer for a while, he noticed she had fallen asleep. Retrieving his phone, he dialed a number, and when the call connected, he spoke,
Jennifer returned to the bedroom after being outside in the breeze and feeling refreshed by her surroundings.Raymond appeared refreshed after his shower, showing no signs of fatigue. Jennifer wondered if he had slept in the car the previous night but had no clue.“Do you want to sleep? If so, I can ask the maid to prepare breakfast later,” she inquired.Shaking his head, he declared, “I don’t need sleep.” After uttering those words, he maneuvered his wheelchair to exit the room. Meanwhile, Jennifer headed to the bathroom to freshen up and dress hastily. Like him, she also didn’t require sleep and had slept through the entire night.As she stood in the shower, she couldn’t help but recall the sensation of waking up in his arms. Absentmindedly rubbing her arms, she shook her head, trying to push the thoughts away.“Stop dwelling on it,” she scolded herself. “What’s gotten into you, Jennifer? Just relax and go with the flow.”Suddenly, it became difficult for her to accept the reality t
Jennifer’s eyes grew wide. “N-No. I didn’t mean that,” she stammered.Raymond observed her expression, noting her bewildered look. He found it amusing. Wasn’t she the one who wanted to spend the night with him? So why was she suddenly acting innocent? He felt perplexed.“Stop pretending,” he said, frustration lacing his words. “You’re sleeping outside. There’s no one here to witness our marital drama.”Jennifer’s grip weakened as she processed the word “drama.” She averted her gaze from him and reluctantly nodded. “Okay, Alpha.”She couldn’t defy his command. If he wanted it, she had to comply.The day drifted by leisurely for Jennifer, who had hoped to create some cherished new memories. However, she now realized that she felt more at ease when surrounded by the company of others in the pack house. With Raymond ignoring her the whole day, she found herself with nothing to occupy her time. She idled in the living room or ventured outside to pass the time.The ocean was a breathtaking
Overwhelmed with emotions, Jennifer began to cry, feeling lost and unsure of what to do. Desperate to find a way out, she frantically looked around for a phone, only to realize that she hadn’t brought one along since Raymond had accompanied her. With no one to contact, she resolved to search for Raymond’s phone.“Where is your phone?” she exclaimed while rummaging through the room, hoping to locate it. Fortunately, her hand landed under Raymond’s pillow, where she discovered his phone. However, upon picking it up, she realized it was locked and required a fingerprint to unlock it. Determined, Jennifer grasped Raymond’s thumb and successfully unlocked the phone. Her trembling fingers quickly sought out Robin’s number and dialed it. “ROBIN!” Jennifer let out a piercing scream that jolted Robin as soon as the call connected. Alarmed, he urgently asked, “What happened, Jennifer?” “Robin, please do something. He-He..”“Calm down first, and tell me what happened?”Jennifer bit her lips
Jennifer was awake the whole night. She shifted back in the early morning when she felt Raymond’s body temperature turn normal.A wave of relief washed over her, prompting her to shower quickly. Eagerly, she awaited Robin’s arrival to assess Raymond’s condition. An hour later, Robin finally arrived at the house. “Where is he?” Robin asked the moment Jennifer opened the door.“In the bedroom,” she responded abruptly.Robin entered the room, holding an injection, but paused before Raymond. He sat on the edge of the bed and checked Raymond’s body temperature with the back of his hand. “Impossible,” he muttered.Jennifer lowered her head, knowing no one could regulate their body heat.“Are you sure his body turned cold last night?” Robin asked as he turned his head to Jennifer.She nodded, assuring that she did not lie, as it would endanger Raymond’s health. “Robin, please give him the antidote. He is still unconscious.”Robin was silent, scaring Jennifer.“What? You can’t use it on hi
With horror, Jennifer locked eyes with him as he glared back in his feeble state, causing a shudder to run through her. “Why are you saying this?” She asked with a soft voice.“Just get out. I don’t need to eat anything,” Raymond ordered.Jennifer shook her head, adamantly refusing to go out. Her heart was filled with care and concern for him, making it impossible to fathom staying away now that he was sick. “No. I won’t go out.”He closed his eyes as if he was controlling his anger.“You better get out before I do something to you.”“Raymond, why are you behaving like this? What did I do? I made porridge because Robin told me to do so.”Raymond cleared his throat to let out his voice. “Get out.”Jennifer stood defeated in the presence of the man. She did not want his health to make him nauseous again. With deliberate slowness, she rose from the bed, bringing the tray with her. Kneeling on the floor, she retrieved the spoon that had fallen during the commotion. The spilled porridge
While listening to Raymond, Jennifer couldn’t prevent tears from welling up in her eyes. Raymond’s suspicion of her giving him poison baffled her. Why would he harbor such a thought? Didn’t he have any trust in her? She was merely trying to explain that a maid was responsible, yet he seemed to be accusing her.“I didn’t do anything,” she replied amidst tears.“Stop pretending and tell me who instructed you to carry what you did.”She gave a slight shake in response. “I didn’t do anything. I swear I did not. I can not even think of something like that.”Raymond felt a sharp pain in his head and instinctively reached out to touch it. Jennifer rushed to his side and gently held his arms, expressing concern, “Are you okay?” Pushing her hands aside, he uttered, “Stay away.” His words deeply saddened her.Despite not having eaten anything yet and suffering from a high fever, he spoke with the demeanor of a strong man, seemingly unconcerned about his health.Getting up, Jennifer went to the
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
