Claire P.O.V

"What are you up to over there?" Ethan asked, looking pretty annoyed.

I could see the frustration and irritation written all over his face. It felt like he had come here just to take it out on me. But honestly, I didn't want to let it bother me.

He stepped closer, and I noticed he looked more put together that afternoon. Like Chen Lien mentioned, Ethan and I had been busy with something outside.

His long black coat fluttered a bit as he moved. I wasn't sure when he started wearing it, but I could still see his cologne mixed with Lucy's scent.

Sure thing! No one could break their bond, especially with all those pheromones flying around when they were together.

"Are you trying to make a run for it?" he asked, just a short distance away.

What was that all about? If I really wanted to, I might have pulled a Chen Lien and jumped out the window. But here I was, stuck in this situation, not wanting to make things worse.

"If I wanted to leave, why are you still here with me?" Eth

    Claire P.O.VI shoved Ethan back hard enough that he slammed against the bathroom wall. He looked pretty upset, but I wasn't about to let him keep holding onto me like he had any control over the situation."How could you do this to me?""Just get out! Didn't you get what you came for?" I shot back, feeling furious.After that, I jumped in the shower and sprayed water all over him, soaking and making him even angrier. I noticed Ethan trying to inch closer, but the water I directed at him felt like my shield. I could still back away a bit until he finally gave up.He shot me a sharp look, and for a moment, the guy just froze, then suddenly yanked the shower from my hands. I was terrified, thinking Ethan might lash out at me for what I did, but instead, he just gripped the shower with this icy stare before tossing it to the floor."I'll be waiting for you downstairs in twenty minutes." He said that and then walked out.Watching him storm off, soaked and furious, I felt guilt. But I'd be

    Ethan P.O.VI stood up and said, "I don't think this chat is going anywhere anymore."There was still a lot of food left on my plate, but I chose to get up from the table. The longer I stayed, the more pointless my talk with Chen Lien felt."Alpha,"Called out an old man named Ethan as he stepped out of the dining room.Ethan glanced back at the elderly man seated with us at the table. It was Elder Elvis, a pretty impressive figure as long as he held his position. Elvis hardly ever paid attention to my business or anything else, for that matter.But look at him now. He called my name without even glancing at me."What do you need, El?""She's your destined mate, right?""What do you want?""Your job is to protect her, but trying to mould her into what you want will drive you crazy. So, quit being unfair and figure out who you'll make Luna in this Pack.""What does that even mean? Am I not the top candidate for Luna in this Pack? Why are you still doubting what's obvious?"

    Claire P.O.VI looked up when I heard Ethan's voice from above. I thought I'd slipped away unnoticed, but I was totally wrong. There he was, standing on the balcony over the garden, giving us that same annoying, condescending look he always has.While I sat there in silence, the Elder, an old lady, got up. She bowed her frail body and smiled as she greeted him. Honestly, I don't want to be like her because Ethan is more of a jerk than a true Alpha."Why are you here, Alpha?" Octa asked, sounding all polite and friendly."Don't make me repeat myself, Octa."Octa grinned, "Is it a problem that I'm here?""No one asked for your input. Go to your room, and you too, Claire Halle," Ethan commanded again.I was the one who held back from responding to Ethan, and it turned into a whole argument. So, I sighed, got up, and touched Octa's shoulder. With a smile, I said,"Come on inside. The Alpha has given his orders." Octa smiled back at me.But just as I was about to pull Octa up, that Old Lady

    Ethan P.O.VI let out a growl when that damn Rouge Wolf bit my hand hard. I really shouldn't have dropped my guard. Claire screamed when it happened, and I could see she was ready to fight back, but I quickly told her to stay behind me.I thought that those pesky Rouge Wolves would back off if I stood up to him since they knew who I was. Turns out, I was totally wrong. When I tried to push them away, I looked like a total loser in front of this Luna I didn't want to acknowledge.These guys are part of the Rouge Wolf pack that hangs out deep in the mountains behind the forest. Our housepack is right on the edge of their hunting grounds. You'd think they'd back off when they realized I was the Alpha, but instead, they just got even more aggressive.Ten years ago, I clashed with their leader over territory expansion. They were furious, and ever since, they've been hell-bent on reclaiming what they lost, pulling stunts like this occasionally. Right before the full moon, they have this rit

    Claire P.O.VNo! No! No! This can't be real! Why isn't anyone from Ethan's Pack coming to my rescue? What are they thinking?! I'm going to die for sure; they're going to end me.My head is spinning. This Rogue Wolf has me wrapped up, hauling me around like I'm just some lifeless thing, weaving through the massive trees in front of us. But once we hit the thick brush, there's no way out for me.I yelled so many times as they charged through the tall grass and thorny bushes. I tried to shield my face with my hands, but it didn't help. I still ended up getting scratched. The thorns dug into me, ripped my clothes a bit, and made me bleed, leaving me grimacing in pain. If I had known how to defend myself, I would've fought back and run for it."Arrgh! Noooo!!!" I let out a scream when we reached the edge of the cliff. No doubt about it, the Rogue Wolf leapt up, followed closely by the other Wolf behind him.This is insane! It felt like I was staring death in the face. They jumped off a re

I still didn't know her name, but I could feel her kindness; it made me forget I was in a challenging situation."It's not the typical hospital stuff, but I promise you, the remedies we use here will help you heal way faster than what you'd get there," she said, her expression steady and reassuring.Once everyone was patched up, we sat by a cosy bonfire, enjoying drinks. The warmth wrapped around us as we chatted quietly, trying not to disturb those who had drifted off to sleep."This is surprising, isn't it?""Yea—sorry?""You watched us attack Alpha Ethan's packhouse, causing chaos and taking out some Warriors. But we just chilled by the campfire, looking all good, even after what went down."I nodded slightly, feeling what was being said."Yeah, I get it.

    Ethan P.O.VI let out a painful groan as a team of doctors stitched up the wound on my chest. This scar is a reminder of that damn Rogue.I'm pretty amazed by what they've accomplished. Every time they've attacked here, they've never resorted to weapons like I did to take them down. But this time, they've got a clear target.And it's someone I never expected them to go after—the person I just brought into this Pack two days ago. Is the word about my Luna spreading that quickly? "Do you need anything else, Alpha?" Dr. Pack asked after stitching up all my wounds and cleaning the blood off me.The pain was still there, but I knew it wasn't from the wolfsbane. If they had used that as poison, they would have been the ones in trouble first."No, but if you have any medicine, I'd like to take it. I want to heal up quicker.""Absolutely, Alpha."The doctor pulled out some medicine wrapped in a few small paper packets. After explaining when I should take them, he and his assistant quickly le

    Ethan P.O.VThe whole mansion was in total chaos. It was a complete disaster, and there were plenty of injured folks around. I hadn't heard of any fatalities from my Warriors, but I saw them bury a Rogue Wolf that I took down."Alpha, you really should take a break," one of the Warriors reminded me about my injuries.You're right. I could use some rest. But right now, I can't stop worrying about Claire's safety. They wouldn't have done anything to her, right? Still, I can't shake the feeling that they might try to use her for their own plan.I gazed at the forest, a place that felt like home. I've been part of this Pack since I was a kid, growing up here and knowing every inch of this land, right up to the mountain's edge. So, while everyone else was busy tidying up and helping the injured, I decided to step into the woods.But just a few steps in, I felt a hand on my shoulder, which made me halt.

    Ethan's POVI felt a whole lot better seeing her get into the car. Even though I didn't go with her, it was a relief to watch her willingly get into the car driven by my Warrior. Much better than when she left the mansion on foot, with no clue where she was heading.Plus, I'm glad she didn't try to hide her pregnancy from me, she tell everyting and let me know about her feeling about that baby. Her simple admission that she didn't want to build a family with me made sense, considering I've been a jerk."Alpha, I heard Lady Halle is heading to Lake Terara to calm down." One of my warrior tell me after he had the report.Lake Terara? That's a bit far from the packhouse, but it's alright since that area is guarded by Gilbert, the Gamma. No need to worry about her safety."Tell Gill I'll pick her up before sundown if she refuses to come back to the mansion.""I will, Alpha," the Warrior replied.All my Warriors have special communication devices—kind of like a mindlink in a gadget form th

    Claire's POVI couldn't shake off the shock when Ethan said he wanted to see this baby born before helping me avenge Nurse Alberta's death."So you—already knew that—""I told you from the start, since the first time we met, that no matter how well you do it, you can't hide anything from me. Besides, no Alpha would be unaware that their offspring is on the way," he said, his eyes fixed on my belly.I covered my stomach with both hands, hoping he'd stop staring."Why do you look scared? Shouldn't you be proud that you're carrying my child? Even though I don't lead the largest pack like The Moon Fall Pack, I hold the title of the strongest Alpha. Isn't that enough to make the baby proud?""There will never be pride for a baby born from me when I don't have an Alpha by my side," I said without hesitation. "No matter how hard I try, I'll just see you marry Lucy Torrance, and then you'll discard us once you get what you want from me. So, can't you help me avenge the deaths of the nurses an

    Ethan’s POV“You—you’ve gotta be joking, right? His niece? How the hell am I his niece?!” Claire screamed, leaping to her feet with rage burning in her teary eyes. She couldn’t believe it—she was related to the bastard who slaughtered her family. The man who wiped out an entire bloodline, a legacy that should still be ruling the Moon Fall Pack. Every head in the garden snapped toward us. People whispered, curious and confused about the commotion. But Claire? She wasn’t overreacting—far from it. Learning that the monster who destroyed her life shared her bloodline was enough to break anyone. I reached out a hand and gently motioned for her to sit down. “Claire, let me explain everything,” I said, hoping to calm the storm inside her. At first, she resisted, too consumed by the whirlwind of emotions. She stayed on her feet, trembling, letting her anger overflow. But I didn’t pull my hand back, holding out hope she’d take it. Minutes passed. Slowly, reluctantly, she sat, her tension

    Ethan's P.O.VClaire's expression hasn't changed since I dropped the bomb. She still looks like she's just been hit with a truckload of surprise. Honestly, she shouldn't be so shocked. After all, Claire has been digging into this for a while, and she definitely knows more than she lets on."You're Jacob Wensiker's one and only his daughter," I repeated.“No, it’s not ….” She shook her head, ignore what I say to her.“Yes, yo’re. And you know that I'm telling you the truth.”"So, you're saying that I should be the Alpha of The Moon Fall Pack?" she asked.That is an incredible speculation. It is true that when the previous Alpha dies, the decendants will take its place. However, in this case, Claire wasn’t the next Alpha after Christhoper Gale gone. Unlike me, I immediately took my father's place when he died.Perhaps that will happen to Claire as well. Since she might not be considered worthy yet, the leadership might fall into Beta's hands, only to be handed over to her after being de

    Ethan's P.O.VI parked my car in the park's lot, a central hub of activity for this pack. Almost everyone here knows who I am, and now, they're all staring at me with curiosity but too afraid to approach or ask questions.I led Claire to a corner of the park. We sat on the grass, surrounded by others, and pulled out the food we bought, making us the center of attention. Because even though it is a park, it is the center of the crowd. Everyone in this Pack uses this area as the center of their lives. Whether it's a school, shops, a shopping center, a recreation center, or just a place to look for something small.But I didn’t care. I let them see Claire, who they would know for the rest of their lives as my Luna. Although they all knew that I was engaged to Lucy Torrance, they also had to know that this wanta was really my Luna.“You still haven’t answered my question,” Claire began impatiently.Yeah, not that she's been a patient girl, but when it comes to the deaths of the sisters an

    Ethan's P.O.V“First things first, what do you want to eat?” I asked after we turned off the packhouse area toward the outskirts of town.Ever since she agreed to get into the car, Claire had only looked out the window, avoiding eye contact with me. For some reason, that made me a bit disappointed.Yeah, disappointed. A word I never imagined I would use to describe my own feelings.A word I never thought I would feel for anyone except myself, as I have always been perfection itself, with nothing else measuring up.“I want an iced coffee with a little caramel, some burgers with different flavors and sauces, and... I really crave pickles.” She answered suddenly after a moment of silence.Wow, sounds like she’s having cravings. But of course, she would. If she didn't, she would stay locked in her room, eating everything brought to her.However, she didn’t do that. Claire often ignored the food and left it untouched outside her door until the servants brought fresh meals again.It sounded

    Claire’s P.O.VDid I just do something terrible? No. Why am I even thinking that? I should be grateful that I managed to stand up to Lucy and retort back. After all, I am the Luna of that Pack, aren’t I?But what do I do now? If I go back, Lucy Torrance won’t let me breathe. She’ll find ways to bully or hurt me, and if that happens, then this baby... no, I can’t let that happen.Even though I didn't want this baby to be here now, it's still my baby. Even if Ethan might not want it, this baby will still be mine.But where do I go from here? I walked aimlessly and suddenly found myself outside the mansion gates, wandering far until I ended up alone on a forest road leading to who knows where.I sighed, stopping at the side of the deserted road. It was so quiet, just me and the sounds of animals from the forest surrounding the packhouse.When I reached the main gate, I thought the Warriors would stop me, but they opened the gate and let me go. Now I don't know where to go.Just as I was f

After everything I discussed with Andara Spectra last night, it felt safer to keep Claire far away from Lucy. “You remember we still have that meeting with Lady Apike, the wolf noble from the Lycan clan, right?” Lucy suddenly broke the silence during our meal. “I know. I’ll—” “She wants to meet your ‘real’ Luna. The one chosen by the Moon Goddess.” Lucy cut me off, her words making my chest tighten in shock. Wait, meet my real Luna? Was she implying I had to bring Claire to this meeting? “Why would I do that? There’s no reason for it.” I refused with a single sentence, hoping she wouldn’t speak again or say things like this. Because honestly, the more I heard, the more uncomfortable I felt.Right. I couldn’t possibly bring Claire. That meeting might spell trouble for her—especially for the child she’s carrying.

I recognized that, but hearing her speak about things I didn't understand, why should I trust her?“You don't have to believe me, Alpha. However, you should know that Lady Halle's mental state worsens day by day. When she came to me today, there was no happiness on her face. Even when I told her she was pregnant, it was as if she wanted to terminate the child—”I was furious, but as I moved toward Andara to throttle her, Oscar stepped between us, preventing me from doing anything.“What do you mean by ‘terminate’?” I growled. I demanded answers for all the words they said to me.“A Luna like Lady Halle wouldn't think to argue with your fiancée, Lady Torrance, who is the daughter of an Alpha from the Western territories. I don't recommend such a course either, but if Lady Torrance learns of this before you do, the worst-case scen
