Fern's Perspective
As the knot eased, Giovanni climbed on top of me and lay down beside me. As I sat up partially against the headboard, his arms encircled my waist. He closed his eyes and rested his head on my bare waist.Did he fall asleep just like that?I looked down at him in wonder. He was still here with me — intoxicated, of course, but still present.As the heat began to dissipate, I reflected on what had just occurred. What had truly transpired?I knew it must have been the alcohol that had made him so uninhibited tonight, and that he had only sought physical fulfillment — yet, he asked me to call him by his name. Did that indicate that perhaps, just maybe, he desired me as more than just Alpha Dylan's daughter?I gazed at him, unable to ignore his striking handsomeness. When I closed my eyes, he ceased to be a formidable Alpha, instead transforming into a charming man and my once dear "brother".A whirlwind of emotions engulfeGiovanni's PerspectiveWhen Beta Tobias reported that Aurora had gone to find Fern, a twinge of worry for Fern actually crossed my mind.Damn, there must be something wrong about me.But when I got to Fern's room, guess what I heard instead?"I wouldn't want someone who wants another person anyway!"At that moment, my anger was palpable. I gave Fern a cold look, unable to express what I felt inside."What are you doing here?" I asked in a suppressed, low voice, almost a growl.Aurora quickly walked up to me. "Giovanni, why is she in the Luna Suite?"My eyes remained fixed on Fern, who was looking up at me as if she hadn't just spoken those words.I clenched my teeth and restrained myself. "Aurora... Get out, go to your room. Beta Tobias, go with her. I'll be right there."Aurora stared at me before she snarled and stormed out of the room.When everyone had left, I turned my gaze to Fern.
Fern's PerspectiveGiovanni had a date with Aurora today, which afforded me a rare and relaxing day.The campfire swayed in the night breeze, its light reflecting on everyone's faces in alternating shades of brightness and shadow.The children of the pack encircled the fire, their laughter and cheers resonating through the air. I joined them, watching the children with tender eyes.Life in this pack was arduous, yet I always found solace in the innocent smiles of these children.They bombarded me with carefree questions: "Ms. Fern, what did you like to do when you were little?" "Ms. Fern, why are you so pretty?"These innocent inquiries brought a smile to my face. Patiently, I answered each one, relishing this moment of tranquility.Then, a child innocently asked, "Ms. Fern, do you have someone you care about the most?" The air instantly grew still, all eyes fixed on me.My smile wavered as my thoughts drifted back to the distant p
Giovanni's Perspective"Hey, here you are!" I greeted Tobias warmly."Yes, Alpha! I came as soon as I heard you needed me," Tobias replied respectfully."How are things going with the pack?" I asked, leaning back in the black leather chair behind the desk."Very well. Perhaps if you're free tomorrow, you'd like to come down and take a look? You'll be pleased with how the pack is doing," Tobias suggested."I would, but I called you here for something else," I continued.Tobias leaned closer, focusing intently. "What do you need, Alpha?"Watching Tobias momentarily tense up made my already pleasant mood even brighter.Yet, he sat there, looking straight at me, making me wonder what he was up to."Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked suspiciously."No offense, Alpha," Tobias began, "but the energy you're exuding is a little unnerving to me. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm curious."I crossed my arms. "Excuse me
Giovanni's PerspectiveI froze in place for a split second when I heard the man speak. I looked at Aurora and just couldn't believe my ears."Why?" I asked, clenching my teeth as the wolf inside me let out an angry growl, forcing myself to glare at Aurora in anger.Aurora panicked a little at the look in my eyes and glanced at the man next to her as if seeking help."Aurora doesn't need to report anything to you. She can do as she pleases. You're not qualified to restrict her freedom. She's already done enough for you," the man said, nodding towards Aurora first, then stepping to block her body, staring at me viciously.Of course, I understood his mindset. Anyone would want to show their tough side in front of the woman they loved. It was just a pity he chose the wrong opponent!"What the hell do you think you are? Where do you get off talking here?!" I looked at the man with disdain. With the wolf inside me letting out a threatening growl, the man froz
Fern's PerspectiveBright moonlight streamed through the cracks in the heavy curtains around my bed, jolting me awake from slumber. My wolf— the other side of my inner being— felt a pang of pain that I couldn't ignore, forcing my eyes open.I sat up quickly, adjusting my breathing, and listened to the night's silence. Just then, there was a sharp knock at the door, making my heart race with anticipation of impending trouble."Fern, open the door!" Beta Tobias's voice came through, laden with anxiety and panic.I hastily threw on my coat and opened the door. "What's wrong?""Alpha Giovanni has been attacked," worry etched on Beta Tobias's face. "We need your help. He's badly injured."My heart sank at the news. Giovanni was not just the Alpha but my mate, even if our relationship was born out of his revenge plot. Deep down, I couldn't forget the kind man Giovanni used to be when he was my brother.I followed Beta Tobias quickly as he led
Fern's PerspectiveThe night hung like an invisible curtain, shrouding the forest in mysterious darkness. Moonlight spilled through the gaps in the treetops, casting dappled light and shadows on the wet ground. My heartbeat reverberated clearly in the silent night, and my hands trembled slightly.At that moment, I was delving deep into Giovanni's consciousness, trying to find him in this chaotic inner world."Giovanni, I'm here," I called out. My voice echoed in the darkness, like a distant call.Suddenly, a soft moan broke the silence, and I followed the sound. The sight that greeted me froze me in my tracks - a lone figure huddled beside a rock in an empty wasteland, his back appearing particularly forlorn.His body seemed to be wracked with endless pain and exhaustion, his hair draped over his shoulders, reflecting his fragility and helplessness.As I approached, I witnessed a scene that broke my heart. A small boy huddled under a dead tree, hi
Fern's PerspectiveThe next day.At 8:00 a.m., I got out of bed, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. After finishing my night of tending to Giovanni, I desperately needed some relaxing activities to relieve the tiredness and tension within me.Yes, tension.In the morning, when Tobias brought my breakfast, he mentioned that Giovanni seemed to have awakened.However, I recalled my plea to Nuu-Chah, the moon god, last night, and the oath I had taken.Honestly, I wasn't sure how my relationship with Giovanni would unfold with Nuu-Chah's assistance and how it might alter my life later on. It left me apprehensive, feeling unprepared to face Giovanni now that he was awake.I made my way downstairs and out the back door of the manor. Jogging to the forest behind the manor, I found a secluded spot behind a tree where I could strip naked. After stowing my clothes in my bag, I changed into fresh ones and released my white wolf with sapphire
Beta Tobias' PerspectiveThe early morning sunlight streamed through the thick forest canopy, filling the air with a moist, earthy scent, while birds chirped happily on the branches.At that moment, I stood outside Giovanni's office, feeling a sense of unease. Giovanni, the Alpha of the pack, had finally woken up.As the Beta of the pack, I bore the burden of protection and surveillance. I needed to find out from Giovanni exactly what had happened on the day he was attacked and gather some clues about the assailant. After all, any werewolf who dares to attack an Alpha is unforgivable.Recently, however, I'd noticed something strange about Alpha Giovanni's condition, something that had caught my attention.Ever since he was injured by Aurora and a man and treated by Fern, Giovanni's behavior has become increasingly unusual. Especially after he woke up, he seemed to be confused about many things.Most worryingly, when Fern's name was men
Daniel's PerspectiveThe wind howled in my ears, and my heart nearly leapt into my throat. In that moment, the world seemed to freeze. There was only the sound of the wind and the frantic thumping of my heart. I looked down, closer and closer to the lake, knowing that this was the moment when I would reach my limit.But then, at the exact moment I braced myself, I turned my head to look at Giovanni. He, too, had leapt off the cliff and was plummeting downward. I had expected him to squeeze his eyes shut, flailing his arms and legs like I was, bracing for the inevitable plunge into the water. But what happened next was beyond anything I could have predicted.As we neared the surface of the lake at nearly the same time, I witnessed an incredible transformation: Giovanni shifted mid-air. In an instant, his body morphed into the form of a majestic werewolf—his muscular frame expanding with raw power, his entire being exuding the energy of a st
Daniel's PerspectiveI thought nothing special would happen today – or at least, that's what I originally believed. But as it turned out, I misjudged how the day would unfold. And that's how life often works—always teaching you an unexpected lesson when you least expect it.In the plaza of the amusement park, sunlight filtered through the swaying trees, filling the air with laughter and the tempting smells of food. People were buying cotton candy from the booths, jumping on trampolines, and shouting with excitement as they zipped by on roller coasters. I moved along with the crowd, step by step, almost as if I were trying to leave the mundane behind—without even realizing it.Giovanni, Finn, and I stood at the entrance to the park, and despite knowing I didn't really belong here—not with the joy that seemed to surround me—I couldn't help but look around. My gaze drifted from one attraction to the next, my insides fl
Fern's PerspectiveI almost held my breath. I knew that the temptation embedded in that statement wasn't just a comment about Daniel.My fingers brushed the edge of the tablecloth without thought, the cool fabric pulling me back from my musings. My gaze quietly settled on Daniel and Giovanni, their interaction like a subtle tug-of-war—effortless and fluid, but sending ripples through my mind.Giovanni's gaze was intense and focused. The familiar scrutiny that sometimes swept over Daniel made a cold sweat break out across my back. I took a deep breath, reminding myself that everything was under control—at least for now.To keep Giovanni from discovering Daniel's true identity, I'd turned to Peter the Wizard, the eccentric and mysterious old man. He'd given me a potion that supposedly shielded Daniel from the fluctuations of werewolf power, making him appear like any other ordinary child. However, the potion's effects were limit
Fern's Perspective"Mom, I'd like another roast." Daniel's voice rang out sharply, pulling me back to the present. His little hands shot up in the air, and his eyes sparkled as he eagerly watched the waiter bringing the dish. His movements were effortless, as though he had nothing to hide, no secrets to keep.I took a deep breath, and the corner of my mouth lifted into a faint smile. "Eat slowly, don't choke." My words were light, but underneath the table, my hands clenched into fists, a thin sheen of sweat breaking out on my palms.Giovanni's gaze felt like a searchlight, locking onto me with unsettling intensity.I kept my composure, the smile on my face unwavering. "As you can see, Mr. Giovanni, this is my son, Daniel.""A human son?" Giovanni asked bluntly, his tone smooth yet heavy, the kind of gentleness that carried a weight you couldn't ignore. He picked up his dinner knife and sliced into his steak with deliberate slowness
Giovanni's PerspectiveThe air in the room seemed to freeze, my eyes locked on Diana, like black holes intent on piercing through every secret she tried to hide. She stood on the other side of the desk, her fingers gripping the strap of her handbag so tightly that her knuckles turned white. I didn't respond immediately to her words, just stared at her in silence. But inside, my emotions churned like a storm, threatening to suffocate me."He's human," Diana repeated, her tone firm but betraying a subtle tremor. "Daniel is my child with a normal human. He has nothing to do with the werewolf world."I rose to my full height, my towering frame casting a shadow over Diana's petite one. Slowly, I rounded the desk, each step deliberate. The air grew heavier, charged with the intimidating presence only an Alpha could command. Her small frame trembled slightly under the weight of my unspoken challenge."Diana," I said, my voice low and even, thoug
Fern's PerspectiveEarly in the morning, with the fresh scent of damp earth in the air, I sat at my desk, my fingers resting on the keyboard, my gaze drifting aimlessly. Today's work felt unusually uninteresting, and my mind had already wandered far away. For some reason, I couldn't shake the feeling that something unusual was about to happen.I couldn't focus at all; my heart beat erratically, as though something was urging me to face it. I glanced at the clock on the wall, and just as I was about to dial my assistant, I heard a sudden voice.
Fern's PerspectiveMy heart skipped a beat, and my vision blurred. A thousand thoughts rushed through my mind, but none of them stuck. First, I was shocked. Then, fear gripped me. And finally—anger.It was almost surreal that my past, especially with Giovanni, was being casually dragged into the open today. The anonymity I'd worked so hard to maintain had been shattered by an uninvited guest."How did you... know?" I finally asked, panic evident in my voice. My heart pounded, as though a vice had tightened around my chest, making it
Fern's PerspectiveMoonlight streamed into the room through the blinds as I sat by the window, my hands clutching my cell phone. The unexpected message on the screen made my heart skip a beat. For days after the party had ended, I'd been anxious that Giovanni might discover something about Daniel, but to my surprise, Giovanni hadn't shown up at the office. All my suspicions and insecurities gradually settled, and I convinced myself I could go on with my life as it was—until this moment."I know your secret. If you don't want it exposed, meet me tomorrow at 3 p.m. at the Eclipse Café."
Fern's PerspectiveI never imagined I'd be standing in front of Giovanni at a moment like this. Six years had passed—six years enough for me to almost forget that painful memory, those deep and tangled emotions. But today, fate had brought me face-to-face with those eyes, eyes that once pierced so deeply into my heart.My heart pounded so hard it felt like it might jump out of my chest. Instinctively, I hid Daniel behind me, doing my best to block Giovanni's view. Even though I knew Giovanni's gaze was far sharper than I'd ever anticipated. My body tensed, frozen, barely able to move, and the clash of reason and in
