Fern's Perspective
I lay in the warmth of the bed, feeling his body heat, my heart beating in sync with his breathing. Moonlight poured in through the curtains, the soft light illuminating our intertwined bodies, painting a peaceful and beautiful picture. However, my heart was far from peaceful.Giovanni had just woken up with a jolt, calling my name in his sleep. His passionate eyes seemed to penetrate my soul, making it impossible for me to escape. His voice echoed in my ears, filled with a shiver and endless longing. My heartbeat accelerated as if ignited by him.Behind this passion, I felt an inexplicable sadness and helplessness. Nuu-Chaah, the Moon Goddess, had promised to fulfill my wish and make Giovanni fall in love with me, yet she had given me a curse, a curse from which I could not escape. I didn't know when the curse would end, or even how it would end. Every time I tried to get closer to Giovanni, the unspeakable agony inside me resurfaced, asGiovanni's Perspective"What's going on?" I asked as I rushed down the hallway."Alpha, there's been an attack on our pack's border," Tobias reported succinctly."Details." I frowned slightly and gestured for him to continue.Tobias quickly recounted the situation: the enemy had come suddenly and viciously, tearing through our border defenses and leaving many warriors heavily wounded. This was no ordinary rogue attack; it felt more like an organized assault."Who do you think could have started it?" I asked in a hushed voice."We can't be sure yet, but I suspect it could be the Black Claw Pack in the west. They've been making a lot of moves lately, and there are rumors they're getting support from outside forces," Tobias analyzed.The Alpha of the Black Claw Pack was once my defeated foe. Could this attack be their revenge?"We need to get there now," I said, immediately getting up and heading for the door.As I walked out of the room, th
Tobias' PerspectiveThe night was low, and the pack's territory was bathed in silver-white moonlight. The surrounding area was breathtakingly quiet, with occasional low wolf howls echoing through the silent forest.However, the corridor outside Giovanni's office was filled with an oppressive atmosphere. Vivian stood across from me, the tension between us so palpable it seemed ready to explode."Tobias, you don't even understand!" Vivian said angrily, her voice thick with aggression and anger.I clasped my hands to my chest, suppressing my annoyance, my face set in a look of indifference and skepticism. "I don't understand? Vivian, I understand all too well. What were you thinking when you brought Aurora to the Alpha so recklessly?"Vivian took a deep breath, trying to calm her anger. "I was doing my duty, Tobias. As Gamma, it's my responsibility to ensure our pack's safety. Aurora's sudden appearance was just too suspicious. She could have had somethin
Fern's PerspectiveI walked heavily down the hallway, Vivian's words echoing in my mind: "You have to be careful. Things are more complicated than you think."Why did she say that?Her words left me with a vague sense of unease.Standing outside Giovanni's office, I took a deep breath before pushing open the door. As I entered the room, a strange tension enveloped me, as if the air had turned to ice. The moment I stepped inside, an oppressive silence surrounded me. The wall sconce emitted a faint glow, casting a soft light on the male protagonist's silhouette, making his deep eyes even more elusive in the dimness.He sat at the table, with papers and an untouched cup of coffee scattered before him. I couldn't help but frown; this wasn't what I had expected. There was an invisible weight in the air that made it hard to breathe."Something seems off," my wolf whispered in warning."What?" I asked."I sense danger," my wolf replied, ever percepti
Giovanni's PerspectiveHer tears irritated me beyond belief, but the thought of her lies—the thought that every moment I had spent with her had been an elaborate deception she had created—made anger boil uncontrollably in my blood.It took everything I had to resist the urge to dry her tears. My fingers tapped on the table as the minutes ticked by.Finally, she looked up at me and said, "Since you hate me so much, please REJECT me."With that, the string of sanity in my mind instantly snapped. Moonlight spilled into the room through the gap in the curtains, casting a hazy glow. I stood in the center of the room, my clenched fists already white, the anger in my heart nearly tearing me apart.The whole world seemed to be trembling ever since that abominable lie was revealed. How dare she treat me in such a despicable way? How dare she try to continue deceiving me with false appearances?My eyes burned, and the flames of anger blazed hott
Fern's PerspectiveThe air was suffocatingly hot, as if the whole world were on fire. I stood in the gloomy basement, sweat dripping down my forehead and mixing with the humid air around me. Omega's status was already low in the world of werewolves, and now that I was forced to this point, I realized what hell on earth was.It felt as if there was no light of hope, only heavy work and endless humiliation.I could barely recognize myself. I had once been full of longing for the future and enthusiasm for life. Now, however, each day was filled with menial tasks for the pack, and I had completely lost my former self."Perhaps we should consider Oliver's suggestion," my wolf said."What?" The heavy labor left me little time to think."I'm saying we should get out of here," my wolf reminded me of what Oliver had suggested earlier."Damn, you're not still thinking about that asshole, are you?" my wolf said disgruntledly, noticing my silence."
Fern's PerspectiveVivian walked toward me, her eyes betraying a hint of concern. "You're awake," she whispered as she approached and took a seat beside me."What happened to me?" I struggled to sit up, my mind fragmented and confused. My body felt heavy, but my thoughts were a blank slate."I'm sorry we woke you," the nurse said quickly, coming to my bedside to check on me. "You need to rest.""I'm fine, just a little tired," I replied.My words made both the nurse and Vivian exchange worried glances. I wasn't sure what had happened, but the gravity of the situation was evident."Do you understand what you're getting yourself into?" Vivian asked softly.Her words echoed those I had heard from Giovanni before I lost consciousness, stirring a wave of unease within me.Vivian took a deep breath and gazed at me with an unfamiliar depth of concern. "There's something I need to tell you. You're pregnant."Deep down, I knew she was telling the
Fern's PerspectiveLate at night, the cold moonlight seeped into every corner of the room, and the wind outside the window, carrying the scent of forest grass, gently tapped on the glass.To this day, I still lived in the Luna Suite. Giovanni seemed to have forgotten to ask me to move out.I sat on the edge of my bed, my mind a whirlwind of thoughts, constantly echoing today's conversation with Vivian—about my pregnancy, the new life growing inside me, and the fact that this news was something I couldn't share with him.A small clatter interrupted my thoughts. I looked up at the balcony, alert, as a familiar figure emerged silently from the night. I frowned. "Oliver?""Shhh," he whispered, raising a finger to his lips. "Don't let anyone hear you."A wave of mixed emotions surged within me. I slowly stood and walked toward the balcony. "Why are you here?"Oliver smiled weakly, a flicker of weariness and determination in his eyes. "I bring good
Giovanni's PerspectiveMy pack was attacked once again, this time more violently than before, evading all the defenses I had set up. Standing at the site of the attack, I looked at the devastation before me, my heart swelling with endless anger and helplessness. Once again, the enemy was wreaking havoc right under our noses, and there was nothing we could do about it.After dealing with the immediate aftermath, I returned to my office with a heavy heart to prepare for a meeting with Tobias, Vivian, and a group of clansmen.Inside the meeting room, the atmosphere was somber, and sadness was evident on everyone's face. Beta Tobias was reporting the details of the attack, trying to find any weaknesses in the enemy's strategy. Vivian stood to the side with a serious expression, her eyes scanning everyone's faces as if searching for clues."Not only are the cities on the west coast under attack, but we've also received requests for reinforcements from the eastern and northern borders," Tob
Giovanni's PerspectiveI sat in a high-backed chair in my office, watching the city lights slowly flicker on outside the window. The night had draped itself like a black cloak, swallowing up the day's clamor in silence. The world before me seemed to blur, hidden beneath the mask of hypocrisy that veiled endless power and suspicion. As the leader of the wolves, I had long grown accustomed to navigating in the darkness, searching for every pivot point that could anchor me more firmly in place.But tonight, my thoughts were anything but calm and clear. A moment ago, I sensed an unfamiliar fluctuation in power—a presence unlike any wolf pack member I'd ever encountered, and not from any bloodline I knew. It was a force of werewolf blood, primal and undeniable, impossible to conceal, and yet... familiar. In that instant, I stopped what I was doing, my gaze deepening as my brow furrowed in concentration.Where was this aura coming from? I strain
Fern's PerspectiveI stood in the kitchen, staring out the window at the fading sunset, my mind in turmoil. Daniel had been especially quiet today. When he came back from school, instead of running out into the yard to play as he usually did, he sat inside the house, staring blankly at the wall. I had tried to talk to him, but Daniel spoke without a hint of a smile, his face distant and expressionless.But today felt different—everything seemed out of place, because it was the night of the full moon.I knew that Daniel wasn't just an ordinary kid. The Alpha werewolf bloodline from Giovanni flowed through him, but more than that, the savage power of the moon that resided within him seemed even stronger. This was something Peter, the wizard, had told us when Daniel was born. That unusual power lay dormant in him, but it could explode at any moment.Though he was still young, I could often feel that power stirring within him. I had tri
Fern's PerspectiveThe moment I stepped out of the building, my mood hadn't fully relaxed, and the unease in my heart felt like an inescapable shadow constantly looming over me.I knew Giovanni's instincts couldn't be wrong. If he had started to suspect me, it would only get harder to keep my secret. As time passed, I began to sense a subtle shift in my bond with him, as though I had unknowingly reestablished some kind of connection.Every time I interacted with him, I could feel that attraction growing stronger, as if some invisible force in the underworld was pulling us back together.But I couldn't let Giovanni uncover the truth. The past couldn't be undone, and I refused to let one bad decision destroy my future, or that of my children.I walked into a café and ordered a coffee before heading to the corner by the window, choosing a secluded spot out of habit. The waitress quickly brought my coffee, and I pulled the cup t
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
