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
Fern's PerspectiveMy heart skipped a beat, and I immediately opened my eyes."...Fern..."His voice was faint, like the wind, yet it pierced my ears clearly. I jerked my head up to meet a pair of long-lost eyes.In an instant, my world collapsed.I threw myself into his arms, tears spilling uncontrollably, and finally let out a sob.—You're back."You're awake!" I was so overwhelmed with emotion that I nearly cried out, my tears already slipping down my cheeks.The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, a weak but warm smile forming. "Why... are you crying?""You were unconscious for so long... I thought..." I covered my mouth, unable to stop the sobs. All the strength drained from me in that moment, and I could no longer hold back. I jumped into his arms."I'm here..." he murmured weakly, gently stroking my back. "I'm back..."Giovanni's awakening shocked everyone. The pack received
Fern's PerspectiveHe's such a proud man. He's given so much to protect Daniel and me. He wouldn't just give up, would he?I forced myself to calm down, taking a deep breath before lifting my head with resolve."I want to see him."The hospital room was unnervingly quiet.He lay on the clean, white hospital bed, his face pale and bloodless. His chest rose and fell slowly, heavily. His once strong and powerful body was now covered in gauze and medical instruments, losing its former majesty.I slowly walked toward him, reached out, and gently held his hand. It was still warm, which reassured me, if only slightly."Can you hear me?" I murmured, my voice so soft it almost seemed to be swallowed by the wind.There was no response.I pressed my lips together, tears welling up in my eyes."You asked me to forgive you before, and I promised… so you can't just leave me like this." I choked out, my v
Fern's PerspectiveI rushed to catch up with Daniel in my arms, my heart pounding wildly, terrified beyond measure.He can't be okay… He can't be okay…The light in the hallway was dim and cold.Giovanni was wheeled into the emergency room, and the door slammed shut in front of me. I stood there, frozen, as if I had lost all strength."Mommy…" Daniel sobbed, tugging at my hand. Only then did I slowly snap back to reality, pulling him close and gently patting his back to soothe him. But my own body trembled slightly.Would he wake up?Would he open his eyes and look at me?I held Daniel tightly, my nails digging into my palms as I forced myself to stay calm. I can't break down. I can't let myself fall apart. But—"Fern," Tobias's voice rang out. He stood in the doorway of the emergency room, his gaze heavy with unspoken emotions."He…" My voice cracked. "He's going
Fern's PerspectiveHe should have been unconscious, but in that moment, he was like a demon returning from hell, furiously tearing through every enemy in his path. His body was still drenched in blood, with deep gashes on his back, exposing bone, yet he ignored the pain and ran toward me with single-minded determination.My heart raced in my chest, and once again, tears slipped down my face."Fern—!"He roared, throwing the last of the black-clad men aside and enveloping me in his arms. In that instant, it was as if I had truly come to life.But before we could catch our breath, Elena's laughter echoed in our ears."You really moved me, but…"She slowly raised the remote control in her hand, her eyes gleaming with twisted malice. "The game ends here."My pupils dilated in horror."Bomb countdown activated."Red lights blinked to life, and a sharp alarm blared from inside the warehouse
Fern's Perspective"Spare them..." His voice was low and raspy, as if the breath had been squeezed from deep within his throat—fragile yet firm.Elena laughed softly, her dagger at some point in her hand. The sharp tip of the blade gently slid down his cheek, leaving a fresh trail of blood on his already scarred skin. She leaned in close to him, whispering in his ear, "You really make me sick to my stomach, to have fallen this low. Didn't you always despise me? What now?"He didn't respond. He just opened his gray-blue eyes and gazed deeply into mine.My heart trembled.He was saying goodbye."No!" I struggled desperately, attempting in vain to rush toward him. But the man in black behind me held me down in an unrelenting grip, a cold gun barrel pressed against my back.Elena stood and turned to the henchman beside her, her tone chillingly calm. "Show him what humiliation truly means."Before I could reac
Fern's PerspectiveThe pungent stench of blood filled the entire warehouse, mixing with the rusty scent in the damp air, creating a nauseating atmosphere. My hands were bound behind my back, my knees sunk deep into the cold concrete floor, and my body had grown numb from the prolonged position. But the pain in my heart was unbearable, as if it were being scorched by an unrelenting fire, so intense that it stole my breath.Elena stood nearby, her heels echoing sharply on the ground like the bells of a death knell. She smiled, her narrow eyes glinting with the playful satisfaction of a victor, while several black-clad bodyguards behind her held Daniel down in a deadly grip. His mouth was gagged, and his eyes were wide with terror.But my gaze was fixed on the man before me—him, my MATE, my Alpha, the man I thought I'd never forgive in my life. Yet here he was, kneeling before Elena.I had never seen him so disheveled.His black
Fern's PerspectiveHowever, at that very moment, a loud bang shattered my thoughts—"BANG!" The warehouse door was viciously kicked open, sending dust flying and filling the air with a pungent, decaying smell. I instinctively opened my eyes, only to see a tall figure step through the doorway, standing frozen in the intersection of light and shadow, as if emerging from hell, radiating an unmissable aura.That figure was all too familiar to me—it was Giovanni.My heart skipped a beat, overwhelmed with a mix of surprise and pain. I hadn't expected Giovanni to be here, and even though I had long accepted that there was no going back to the past between us, seeing him in front of me still made my heart race and left me momentarily breathless.Elena clearly hadn't anticipated this turn of events either. My face immediately darkened, my gaze fixed on Giovanni like a viper's, and I drew a pitch-black pistol, aiming it menacingly at my
Fern's PerspectiveNight had fallen, and the air felt heavy with humidity, making it suffocating and uncomfortable. My heart raced faster than usual, and every step I took felt like it weighed a ton. My grip on the car keys tightened, and my eyes locked on the deserted warehouse ahead. I knew instinctively that nothing was going to be easy tonight, but there was no turning back. I didn't even let myself consider it.I tightened the collar of my jacket and took a deep breath, feeling a wave of suffocating pressure. Daniel's silhouette kept haunting my thoughts—the one closest to my bloodline, the one child who still didn't know who he truly was. I instinctively knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, I couldn't allow Daniel to be harmed.The doors to the warehouse were closed, and a disconcerting silence hung in the air. I knew Elena had anticipated my arrival. As I approached the door, I gazed at the faded iron gate, hearing the bea
Fern's PerspectiveThere was a strange tension in the air when I got home. The moment I opened the door, a gust of icy wind hit my face. The house seemed unnaturally quiet, and the air felt thick and heavy. I couldn't shake the growing sense of unease rising in my chest.The place was a mess. Papers were scattered across the table, a few books had been knocked off the bookshelf, and shoes and clothes were strewn across the floor, suggesting that something had happened here. My heart sank as I quickly scanned the room, my eyes darting to every corner of the living room, searching for the one person I was most familiar with—my son, Daniel."Daniel?" I called out, my voice sounding weak as it echoed through the empty house, but there was no answer. My heart began to race, and my brow furrowed as I hurried through each room, checking every detail. The kitchen, the bedrooms, the bathrooms—everywhere was empty. There was no sign of Daniel.
