Cherry Just as I was rushing out of the pack house, my nose picked up Fern's sweet scent at the gate. "A party tonight?" It was Fern! A weight was finally removed from my mind. "Yes! You look forward to it?" Pushing the gate open, I saw Fern chirpping with Bert as they walked towards the pack house. "Mo..." The smile on Fern's face froze the minute she saw me, and then she just walked past me, as if I was a total stranger. "Baby, it's me. I'm mommy..." My voice shook as I reached out for Fern, trying to take her into my arms. "No! Don't touch me!" Fern dodged my hands, leaving me heartbroken. "Fern! How could you say that to your mommy?" Berted was as shocked as me. "What happened?" Heather and Chris followed over to check on Dylan and me right at this moment. "M-Mommy Chelsea t-told me...that my daddy almost got killed by h-her..." Fern pointed at me, choking. Obviously, Chelsea was brainwashing my daughter. “That's not true, baby." Heather embraced Fern gently. "Your mom
BillThe night had deepened. It was way past my routine bed time.Yet here I was, wide awake, unable to take the maid shifter off my mind.Sipping the wine from the glass, I found myself smiling, reminiscing that special charm in her. I told that charm the minute my eyes landed on her shining eyes.Nuu-Chah seldom blessed her female she-wolves with that charm. But once she did, the lucky one would get special ability along with that charm.Breathing heavily, I tried to calm my wolf down. It had been this excited for long, and finally took control over me."I must get her!" Reaching out for my phone, I decided to give Dylan a call, making another offer that he wouldn't be able to say no to in exchange for that charming shifter.Just as I took up the phone, an unfamiliar number displayed on the screen.“Hi, is that Alpha Bill?”“It's me. Who's that calling?” My mind was still preoccupied with the shifter."You don't have to k
DylanLosing the last bit of sense, my wolf stormed into a thick forest, mumbling in anguish all along the way."How come I feel such huge pain when I'm supposed to be stronger after getting mated to my Luna?"YOUR WOLF LOST ITS TRUE MATE. Suddenly, Bill's words at the party sounded in my mind.“Could Bill be true? That Chelsea is not our true mate?” My wolf asked me.“That's ridiculous!” I snarled at it. "Chelsea saved my life!""That doesn't necessarily make her our mate. Believe it or not, I'm never myself when Chelsea's around.""Hey! Chelsea's willing to do whatever to protect..." I stopped when I recalled that vengeful stare she shot at Cherry at the party.It was understable that she was envious or hostile to Cherry. But vengeful? Wouldn't that be too much? If someone was supposed to be vengeful towards Cherry, wouldn't it be me?Was there something else that I missed?"Cherry! Go talk to Cherry." My wolf advised."Woul
Dylan“Dylan! I need you here. There's a commotion out here on the street. I can't handle it alone.” Bert sounded anxious.“Where is Chelsea?” My forehead knotted as the screams of angry shifters reached me via mind link.“I don't know. I can't find her.”“Try to calm them down. I'll be there right away.”Rants and shouts reached my ears before I even stepped foot on the territory of Lord Hills.“We're starving, waiting for your aid while here you do nothing but flaunt your wealth in your fancy suits and dresses!” Confronting the armed guards, a female shifter carrying a two-year-old baby in her arms shouted."Quiet! Every..." A mud landed on my chest before I barely caught my breath arriving at the scene."Dylan!" I heard Chelsea's voice and looked around for her, only to spot her hiding in a safe corner.“Take that man and kill him!” She then turned to shout at the guards before I even figured out where the mud came fr
DylanBy the time Bert and I rushed to the bedroom, there was already no trace of Chelsea.“Have all patrollers along the border watch out for Chelsea! She could be escaping!” Bert ordered Jason through mind link.“Rummage through her belongings!” My instinct reminded me just before we dashed out of the room.When I was digging around in the bedroom, a vial fell out of Chelsea's purple purse."Dylan!" Bert rushed over and picked the vial up. "Where did you get that?!""You know this vial?" I turned to him in confusion.“It's wolfsbane.”"Wolfsbane? You sure?!" My eyes widened."I cannot be more sure!" Bert's jaw clenched. "It looks exactly the same as the one we found during the war against Bloodmoon!""Bloodmoon?" I felt a total mess in my mind."Yes. After finding Cherry your true mate, you rejected Lucy, daughter of Bloodmoon's Alpha.""I did?" I still couldn't believe my ears."Out of humiliation, they st
CherryWalking back towards the gate, my wolf and I struggled as we fought the urge to look back at Dylan.Bitterness rose in my chest as I chewed over the news that Dylan got his memory back.Just as my foot was about to step upstairs, the phone in my hand vibrated. It was from Bill, asking me to his office.“What can I do for you, Alpha Bill?” I was nervous, for fear he might ask about what happened outside the house just now.“Just Bill. Call me by my name, Cherry." He gestured me over. "I got a gift for you.”“A gift?” My feeling turned surprised from being nervous.Bill opened a drawer on his office desk, and then handed me a folder.Silence fell between us as my eyes landed on the document.“Cherry Apparel...H-How do you know that I used to...?” I stuttered in disbelief."I just know. Remember I told you that I can find out whatever I want
CherryThe next day in the lounge of Lune's pack house.My hands sweat as I saw Dylan take a seat across Bill and me, his face laden with exhaustion."You want to snatch my business after taking my mate away?! No way!" Dylan was vexed after hearing Bill out."Think about it, bro. I'll be waiting for you back here." Bill was confident that Dylan would accept his offer."Dylan! Wait..." I chased Dylan out as he stormed out of the longue, only to fell heavily to the ground at the house gate."Cherry!" Hearing the loud sound, Dylan turned back and rushed to me. "Are you all right?""Think about Bill's offer, Dylan. He means well. Starsmoon needs money. Don't act on impulse." Instead of answering his question, I tried to talk Dylan into accepting Bill's offer."Your wolf is suffering too, Cherry. The link between our wolves is weakening." Instead of giving me an answer, Dylan said to me with a concerned look."Take me back, Cherry. My wolf nee
Cherry“Sit on my face!” Dylan demanded.“Cherry, I'm waiting.” Lying flat in bed, Dylan urged me again when I was left straddling on his lap in my naked glory.Swallowing hard, I crawled slowly until I was in his desired position.Dylan guided me to press my pussy in his mouth, when his proud nose touched my sensitive bud.“Ohh damn!” I moaned out loud as his tongue licked my slit sloppily. Soon, I was grinding myself against his mouth, setting my pace that brought me electrocuting pleasure.“You taste so sweet, Cherry.”I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around my boobs as my body convulsed in orgasm.Dylan held me by my hips as he licked all of my juices, making sure that his tongue got to savor every drop of it.Moving down to his chest, I tried to catch some breath before opening my eyes and finding his desire for me peeked.M
Daniel's PerspectiveThe wind howled in my ears, and my heart nearly leapt into my throat. In that moment, the world seemed to freeze. There was only the sound of the wind and the frantic thumping of my heart. I looked down, closer and closer to the lake, knowing that this was the moment when I would reach my limit.But then, at the exact moment I braced myself, I turned my head to look at Giovanni. He, too, had leapt off the cliff and was plummeting downward. I had expected him to squeeze his eyes shut, flailing his arms and legs like I was, bracing for the inevitable plunge into the water. But what happened next was beyond anything I could have predicted.As we neared the surface of the lake at nearly the same time, I witnessed an incredible transformation: Giovanni shifted mid-air. In an instant, his body morphed into the form of a majestic werewolf—his muscular frame expanding with raw power, his entire being exuding the energy of a st
Daniel's PerspectiveI thought nothing special would happen today – or at least, that's what I originally believed. But as it turned out, I misjudged how the day would unfold. And that's how life often works—always teaching you an unexpected lesson when you least expect it.In the plaza of the amusement park, sunlight filtered through the swaying trees, filling the air with laughter and the tempting smells of food. People were buying cotton candy from the booths, jumping on trampolines, and shouting with excitement as they zipped by on roller coasters. I moved along with the crowd, step by step, almost as if I were trying to leave the mundane behind—without even realizing it.Giovanni, Finn, and I stood at the entrance to the park, and despite knowing I didn't really belong here—not with the joy that seemed to surround me—I couldn't help but look around. My gaze drifted from one attraction to the next, my insides fl
Fern's PerspectiveI almost held my breath. I knew that the temptation embedded in that statement wasn't just a comment about Daniel.My fingers brushed the edge of the tablecloth without thought, the cool fabric pulling me back from my musings. My gaze quietly settled on Daniel and Giovanni, their interaction like a subtle tug-of-war—effortless and fluid, but sending ripples through my mind.Giovanni's gaze was intense and focused. The familiar scrutiny that sometimes swept over Daniel made a cold sweat break out across my back. I took a deep breath, reminding myself that everything was under control—at least for now.To keep Giovanni from discovering Daniel's true identity, I'd turned to Peter the Wizard, the eccentric and mysterious old man. He'd given me a potion that supposedly shielded Daniel from the fluctuations of werewolf power, making him appear like any other ordinary child. However, the potion's effects were limit
Fern's Perspective"Mom, I'd like another roast." Daniel's voice rang out sharply, pulling me back to the present. His little hands shot up in the air, and his eyes sparkled as he eagerly watched the waiter bringing the dish. His movements were effortless, as though he had nothing to hide, no secrets to keep.I took a deep breath, and the corner of my mouth lifted into a faint smile. "Eat slowly, don't choke." My words were light, but underneath the table, my hands clenched into fists, a thin sheen of sweat breaking out on my palms.Giovanni's gaze felt like a searchlight, locking onto me with unsettling intensity.I kept my composure, the smile on my face unwavering. "As you can see, Mr. Giovanni, this is my son, Daniel.""A human son?" Giovanni asked bluntly, his tone smooth yet heavy, the kind of gentleness that carried a weight you couldn't ignore. He picked up his dinner knife and sliced into his steak with deliberate slowness
Giovanni's PerspectiveThe air in the room seemed to freeze, my eyes locked on Diana, like black holes intent on piercing through every secret she tried to hide. She stood on the other side of the desk, her fingers gripping the strap of her handbag so tightly that her knuckles turned white. I didn't respond immediately to her words, just stared at her in silence. But inside, my emotions churned like a storm, threatening to suffocate me."He's human," Diana repeated, her tone firm but betraying a subtle tremor. "Daniel is my child with a normal human. He has nothing to do with the werewolf world."I rose to my full height, my towering frame casting a shadow over Diana's petite one. Slowly, I rounded the desk, each step deliberate. The air grew heavier, charged with the intimidating presence only an Alpha could command. Her small frame trembled slightly under the weight of my unspoken challenge."Diana," I said, my voice low and even, thoug
Fern's PerspectiveEarly in the morning, with the fresh scent of damp earth in the air, I sat at my desk, my fingers resting on the keyboard, my gaze drifting aimlessly. Today's work felt unusually uninteresting, and my mind had already wandered far away. For some reason, I couldn't shake the feeling that something unusual was about to happen.I couldn't focus at all; my heart beat erratically, as though something was urging me to face it. I glanced at the clock on the wall, and just as I was about to dial my assistant, I heard a sudden voice.
Fern's PerspectiveMy heart skipped a beat, and my vision blurred. A thousand thoughts rushed through my mind, but none of them stuck. First, I was shocked. Then, fear gripped me. And finally—anger.It was almost surreal that my past, especially with Giovanni, was being casually dragged into the open today. The anonymity I'd worked so hard to maintain had been shattered by an uninvited guest."How did you... know?" I finally asked, panic evident in my voice. My heart pounded, as though a vice had tightened around my chest, making it
Fern's PerspectiveMoonlight streamed into the room through the blinds as I sat by the window, my hands clutching my cell phone. The unexpected message on the screen made my heart skip a beat. For days after the party had ended, I'd been anxious that Giovanni might discover something about Daniel, but to my surprise, Giovanni hadn't shown up at the office. All my suspicions and insecurities gradually settled, and I convinced myself I could go on with my life as it was—until this moment."I know your secret. If you don't want it exposed, meet me tomorrow at 3 p.m. at the Eclipse Café."
Fern's PerspectiveI never imagined I'd be standing in front of Giovanni at a moment like this. Six years had passed—six years enough for me to almost forget that painful memory, those deep and tangled emotions. But today, fate had brought me face-to-face with those eyes, eyes that once pierced so deeply into my heart.My heart pounded so hard it felt like it might jump out of my chest. Instinctively, I hid Daniel behind me, doing my best to block Giovanni's view. Even though I knew Giovanni's gaze was far sharper than I'd ever anticipated. My body tensed, frozen, barely able to move, and the clash of reason and in
