Giovanni's Perspective
When 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
Giovanni's PerspectiveEvery Monday, there was a regular pack meeting, and as the Alpha, I needed to discuss the pack's development and recent events with the core members. Especially with the full moon approaching this month.However, this time, I found myself thinking about what to wear. I usually didn't care about my attire. When one was in a position of power, his subordinates would respect his regardless of what he wore. But today, I wanted to look my best. I put on a white shirt and a silver-gray tuxedo, a color that reminded me of my mate's shiny, soft fur.My brow furrowed gently at the thought of my mate. It seemed like I hadn't seen her since I got up in the morning. This feeling of separation from her made my wolf whimper in discontent."Relax. I promise I'll take you to see her as soon as the meeting is over."I ran my fingers through my dark, thick hair a few times until I was satisfied with my reflection in the mirror. Then, I left the room and
Giovanni's PerspectiveI sat in my office, a pile of papers stacked on my desk. But I couldn't bring myself to deal with them—my mind kept drifting back to her, Diana.She was like a riddle I couldn't solve. If she wasn't Fern, why did she look exactly like him? But if she was Fern, why couldn't I feel any trace of the unique bond that had once existed between Fern and me?I rubbed my forehead and then called Tobias. "Tobias, tell her to come in."Moments later, I sensed Diana standing in the doorway. My heightened hearing caught the sound of her taking a deep breath, trying to steady herself before knocking."Come in," I called, my voice low and firm.She slowly pushed the door open and stepped into my office. Her eyes flicked to the picture on the wall—the one of Fern and me, which I'd deliberately had Tobias hang there.I kept my gaze fixed on her, watching closely for any sign of a reaction, any hint o
Fern's PerspectiveThe morning sunlight streamed through the cracks in the curtains, spilling onto the tabletop and adding a touch of warmth to the humble cottage. Sleep still lingered on Daniel's face as he lazily rose from his bed, his eyes—so deep and dark, like Giovanni's—slowly opening as he gazed out the window at the distant view."Mommy, are we going to the market today?" His voice held a note of anticipation, and despite his young age, he always seemed older than other children.I smiled and nodded, a warmth filling my heart.Since I started working, I'd rented a small house near my company and began living independently with Daniel, despite my parents' strong objections. But I wasn't a little girl relying on my parents anymore; I was a mother now.Besides, after the day of my interview when I learned I'd be working for Giovanni's company, I'd worried that he might uncover Daniel's existence through his investigation of my background. That's why I had to leave my parents behi
Giovanni's PerspectiveI sat in my office, brow furrowed, with papers piled as high as a mountain in front of me. My fingers absently scratched across the desk, and my eyes occasionally flicked to the stacks of pending paperwork, but my mind was far from them.Ever since Diana joined the company, my heart has never been at ease. Every day, her familiar figure, always within my line of sight, seemed to remind me of a long-forgotten past. An unspeakable feeling, one that had quietly begun to grow, spread deep within my chest.I don't want to
Fern's Perspective"Diana, good morning." A clear greeting interrupted my thoughts. I turned to see the manager who had called my name and tried to offer a natural smile. She was my immediate supervisor, Marianne, and while she had a kind face, it was clear that she was not someone to be easily overlooked."Good morning, Marianne," I replied with a smile, doing my best to keep my voice steady.I then turned and walked into the office. Before me was a modern work environment: spacious desks, rows of computer screens, and neat shelves filled
Fern's PerspectiveWhen I got home, I sat at the dining room table, staring down at the newspaper in front of me while my mind wandered far away. Giovanni's face, those deep eyes, and the aura that surrounded him seemed to pull me back to a past I couldn't escape. I had been so happy to see Giovanni, to feel the way he looked at me, and yet now, it felt like a distant memory."Mom, how was the interview today?" Daniel suddenly jumped up from the couch beside me, looking at me mischievously.I froze for a moment, then forced a smile. "It wa
Giovanni's PerspectiveI sat in my spacious office, a mountain of papers piled in front of me. My fingers absentmindedly skimmed over the pages without truly registering their contents. Distracted, my gaze would often drift toward the window, where I imagined the bustle of the world outside. It had been a long time since I'd taken over the pack, and moments of inattention like this were rare for me.Today's meeting had left me drained. The pack elders had engaged in a heated debate over my decision to choose a Luna, knowing full well that some of them didn't want me to make a rational choice. As a werewolf alpha, I under
Fern's Perspective I sat on a couch in the office lobby, my hands instinctively tightening around the strap of my bag. My interview hadn't even started yet, and all around me, the soft murmur of whispered conversations filled the air as candidates discussed various questions. I stared at my phone screen, but my heartbeat refused to slow. Suddenly, I heard a familiar name. "I heard this company was founded by Alpha Giovanni of the Dark Howl Pack. In just a few short years, it's become one of the most influential companies out there," a girl whispered. "Yeah, I heard his business tactics are as ruthless as he was when he was Alpha of the pack," another added. "..." My heart sank, and in an instant, the murmur of voices around me faded. The name echoed in my mind. Giovanni—the man who had touched my heart so deeply, the man who had given me everything, and yet, had left me scarred. How did he end up here? This company was founded by him. My mind immediately flooded with memo
Tobias' PerspectiveMy gaze involuntarily returned to his stoic face, and a flicker of unease stirred in my chest.There I stood, half in shadow, my eyes fixed on Giovanni sitting behind the desk. His posture was as rigid as a stone, silent and solitary, blending seamlessly with the somber atmosphere of the room. The air felt cold, and his presence made the silence almost suffocating.This man—once my friend, once the leader of our pack—was now nothing more than an empty shell, devoid of emotion.
Tobias' PerspectiveI stood in the doorway of Giovanni's office, took a deep breath, and then knocked gently on the door."Come in."His voice was cold, with an undeniable air of authority.I grasped the doorknob and gently pushed the door open, stepping into the lavishly furnished office, its atmosphere chilled. The scent of paper and leather hung in the air, and sunlight poured in through the heavy curtains, but it couldn't dispel the cold silence that env
