Giovanni's Perspective
I 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 IFern'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 Perspective"It's Aurora! What is she going to do?" my wolf asked.At that moment, Aurora didn't move with the others as usual. Instead, she walked alone, mysteriously, along the path behind the villa. Her silhouette looked particularly eerie in the night, as if she was hiding some untold secret with every step.A sudden tightness gripped my heart, and an intense unease washed over me. I instinctively knew that Aurora's solo journey was anything but ordinary. Driven by some invisible force, I quickly threw on a cloak and followed her silently.The nighttime forest was unnervingly quiet, with only the occasional chirp of unknown birds sending chills down my spine. I carefully trailed behind Aurora, keeping a safe distance, not daring to make a sound.I was fully aware of Aurora's sharp instincts and knew I couldn't afford to be careless. As her footsteps faded farther away, the atmosphere around me grew increasingly unsettling.Aurora eventually s
Fern's PerspectiveAt midnight, moonlight from the forest spilled over my bed through a gap in the curtains. The room was silent except for the steady ticking of the ancient clock on the wall. I rolled over, trying to fall asleep, but the events of last night kept replaying in my mind.Suddenly, there was a faint rattle from the balcony. My senses sharpened, and I turned to the window. The window door was soon pushed open gently, and a tall figure appeared.It was Oliver, his deep eyes glinting in the dim light."Still awake?" His voice was low, tinged with concern."I couldn't sleep," I replied softly, sitting up. Internally, I felt a vague unease. "How did you get here? Aren't there any guards outside?""I avoided them," Oliver said casually.I frowned, sensing that something was amiss. With all that had happened to the pack recently, it made sense that the patrols would be stricter."What's wrong?" Oliver asked, noticing my frown and the si
Fern's Perspective"What are you doing?" Giovanni's voice was low and cold, his eyes glinting with danger.Giovanni's gaze was icy and murderous, his fists clenched, and his whole demeanor resembled a beast poised to pounce on its prey. Aurora stood nearby, a triumphant smile on her face and mockery in her eyes."Told you so," Aurora said contemptuously. "She's the mole. The recent attack on the pack was orchestrated by her and that man."Instinctively, I stood up, forcing myself to remain calm. I met Giovanni's gaze, trying to mask the fear and unease bubbling inside me. "As you can see, Oliver is my brother. We were just talking, nothing more."Meanwhile, I signaled Oliver to leave through the window with a discreet gesture behind my back. But Giovanni noticed my movement and ordered the guards to quickly surround Oliver.A sneer curled at the corner of Giovanni's mouth, his eyes dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, really? Do you expect me to take your word f
Giovanni's PerspectiveFern stayed where she was, her eyes filled with disappointment and anger.I could see she was struggling to come to terms with what she had just done, but what really enraged me was her determination to leave."How could you do that to him?" Fern finally spoke, her voice a mix of anger and pain. "You almost killed him! He's my brother!""Brother?" My voice was as cold as ice. "To me, he was just an enemy who tried to take my Luna and challenge my dignity as an Alpha. Not to mention, he's Dylan's son!"I paused for a moment, suppressing the pain inside me beneath my rational facade. I didn't dare show her my weakness or reveal what was truly on my mind."You don't care about him at all," I said sharply. "All you care about is yourself and how you can escape this place. If you really cared about him, you'd stay and deal with this properly, instead of dragging him into your own mess.""Yes, I just want to get away from you." Fer
Giovanni's PerspectiveI looked her straight in the eyes, and a flicker of complex emotions swept through my mind. I could feel the strong Alpha aura around her—indeed, such an existence was enough to match me, both in terms of lineage and ability. Yet, there was an undeniable resistance deep within my heart."Perhaps," I replied softly. I didn't want to give a definitive answer, but I also didn't want to make Elena feel entirely rejected.Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room froze, and something felt off. The moment Elena and I locked eyes, I sensed a faint fluctuation of BOND from her—subtle, but enough to make my heart skip a beat.But it seemed impossible.For a split second, Diana's face flashed through my mind.Elena seemed to sense my doubt, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips."You must be wondering why we from the Blood Moon Wolf Pack are here, right?" she said softly.My brows furrowed slightly. Was it poss
Giovanni's PerspectiveI stood in the vast rotunda, my eyes fixed coldly ahead. The golden chandeliers cast a warm glow, their light reflecting off the walls adorned with the emblems of the wolves.This feast was no ordinary one—it marked the beginning of new alliances and promises.The long table at the center of the hall was draped with an ornate white tablecloth, decorated with exquisite dishes and drinks. Yet, to me, it all seemed to pale in comparison, unable to ease the deep-seated resistance I felt."Alpha, you seem a little distracted," Tobias whispered from the sidelines. Dressed in a formal black suit, his demeanor was calm, but a flicker of concern flashed in his eyes.I shook my head softly, took a deep breath, and glanced up. "Just bracing myself for the stress of being a VIP." I didn't particularly enjoy the feeling of being watched."You don't have to carry it all alone," Tobias said. "The Elders are waiting for you, too—they're ready for the Blood Moon Wolves."I nodde
Fern's PerspectiveThe day's work was finally over. Night had fallen, and the city's lights began to twinkle to life. I stood by the window of my office, watching the hurried figures below, but a heaviness settled in my heart. Though everything had seemed calm during the day, I knew this calm was nothing more than the quiet before the storm. Giovanni's growing interest in me, that nagging sense of familiarity, had become more pronounced. It unsettled me, amplifying the dilemma I couldn't escape.I couldn't let him get close so easily, not when I had buried the past so deep in my heart. That painful memory had cost me far more than I ever expected. I had thought I'd be free of him, that I'd never again be haunted by what we once were. But now, standing before him once again, it felt like everything had come full circle. That indescribable pull, always tethering me to the past, was still there, and I couldn't escape it."Diana, what's wrong?" Marianne's voice snapped me back to reality.
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
