Fern's Perspective
The 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 considered ignoring it, but then the door opened, and Vivian stormed in angrily."Vivian? It's two in the morning. What do you want?" I put down the paper and looked at her. "What do you want to do? And why?"Tobias followed her into my room, his brow furrowed with worry and regret. "Vivian," he said calmly but urgently, "you need to calm down.""I don't need to calm down." Vivian walked past him, spinning on her heels as she approached me. "I can't stand being here another minute!" she exclaimed, her hands on her hips. "I can't stand being here another minute, Giovanni! Every time I see that woman's damn face... at dinner, in the hallway... I want to smack that stupid grin off her face! That arrogant bitch! I really don't understand why you don't kick her out of the pack after what she did to you."I'd rarely been this patient with her, but I tried not to escalate the situation into a fight. I know she's talking about Aurora, and I
Fern's PerspectiveThe door clicked shut behind me. I knew I had to face Giovanni alone. His brow was furrowed, his lips pressed together, and his blue eyes, flecked with gold, showed that his wolfishness was closing in.I tried to cross him, but he stepped closer, forcing me to back away until I was pressed against the door. With nowhere else to go, I watched with wide eyes as he leaned toward me. His breath fanned my cheeks, his firm, ripped body pressed against mine, and his tone was dangerous."Say it again..." The growl in his voice made me shiver with fear."I..." I moved my lips, but my throat was dry. Suddenly, my mind and heart cried out that this was unfair. He had no right to treat me like this!I looked back at him firmly, determined to stick to my new outlook on life. "I won't stay here forever and be humiliated by you," I said. He raised an eyebrow, but I continued. "What makes you think that after the way you've treated me, I'm going to stay h
Giovanni's Perspective"What do you want, Alpha?" Tobias asked as he walked into my office."We have guests coming," I said, getting straight to the point. "Alpha Galen of the Black Moon Wolf Pack and his son Silas are visiting our pack again."Tobias was clearly surprised by my words. After all, Alpha Galen and Silas had visited before, and none of us knew their purpose for coming at a time like this."Oh... well." He quickly adjusted his demeanor. "I'll make sure their room is prepared."Unsurprisingly, Alpha Galen arrived quickly."We'll be hosting a dinner party tonight, and you're both welcome," I said flatly as we entered the main room. "I have things to do, so I'll let Tobias get you settled in."As I turned to walk up the stairs, Silas' bright voice called out from behind me, "I look forward to seeing you later, Giovanni."Tobias' eyes widened.I didn't like being addressed by my first name unless I permitted it. In the world of w
Fern's PerspectiveI wasn't sure what to expect from dinner. Both Galen and his son Silas made me uncomfortable, and I'd have preferred to spend the evening alone in my room. However, it wasn't up to me.The large, formal dining room was adorned in red, black, and gold. A band played soft music in the background, and a beautiful fireplace at the far end of the room made the space warm and inviting.The room was already packed with guests—men in suits and women in evening gowns—scattered around and socializing in small groups."Alpha," Tobias said, leading me directly to Giovanni.Giovanni's blue eyes locked onto mine. I saw a flash of surprise, but it quickly disappeared, leaving no discernible emotion.At this point, I had changed into a black, glittery fishtail dress, and my hair was carefully curled into large waves. Was he displeased with my appearance?"Alpha..." I said softly, then, noticing the others in the room, quickly bowed m
Fern's Perspective"Fern, wake up."Late at night, I was awakened by the soft voice of my wolf."What's going on?" I asked groggily."There seems to be someone talking outside.""What are they saying?"Before my wolf could answer, a voice from the living room caught my attention. I immediately recognized it as Tobias."What do you mean, what am I going to do?" "You were at the meeting. Now there are accusations that Fern is the cause of this whole mess, and as Alpha, I have to find out who she's been in contact with," Giovanni's voice replied.It wasn't surprising; everyone in the pack now knew that. But hearing it from Giovanni's mouth hurt more than I expected."Even though your actions might cause more chaos in our pack? I can't believe you actually trust what Aurora said," Tobias challenged."Are you questioning my decision, Tobias? Need I remind you that I am your Alpha?""But Fern is our pack's Luna. Regardless of your initial intentions, she became our Luna the moment you brou
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.
