The five guards stood in rows, blocking the entrance of the room. Their gaze landed on me, then averted to Madam Gabby's direction. Instantly, their jaws dropped, and they quickly bowed their heads.

"Sorry, Madam Gabby. I never knew it was you," one of the guards muttered, slightly raising his head.

No doubt, she was highly respected. Who wouldn't? I mean, she was Alpha Zedex's babysitter when he was younger, and the pack must have acknowledged her for that, commanding such respect.

These memories made me recall the first time I met her. I could still remember how those fiercely wolves who wanted to attack me the night I attempted to escape quickly withdrew the moment she intervened.

"Ahem!" Madam Gabby cleared her throat with a low, raspy sound and quickly composed herself to shake off her anxiety; it was clearly written all over her.

"What are you guards doing here?" she asked, trying to make her voice firm. One of them shook his head.

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 45; The Journey To Full Mountain

    Camila My heartbeat fastened as I began to feel restless. No doubt one part of me was ready to face any outcome, yet another part of me was scared. I mean, why wouldn't I be? When they were going to drag me to another wolf's den, how would I survive or fight my way out? Thoughts were still flooding in my mind when Madam Gabby and Bianca rushed into the room. Surprisingly, Dixie wasn't with them this time around, and I wondered why. I felt a little sad because I didn't even know when I would see them again or receive their care, which really broke my heart. Because at this point, it felt like my life was hanging on a thread. "Holy Goddess!" Bianca exclaimed, her mouth dropped in shock. She squatted in front of me and face-palmed my swollen face. "What the hell happened to your face? Did you fight with a beast?" she asked. Madam Gabby slightly hit her shoulder. "No jokes." "I'm serious," Bianca clarified. "Who did this to her?" She pointed at my face, her face squeezed into

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 46: Shattered Hope

    Camila I opened the curtain again. I stole one last glance outside. My gaze swayed around the small crowd, hoping to see him one last time. Then, I saw him—Alpha Zedex’s Grandfather, standing behind the big pillar. He was away from the rest of the crowd, leaning on his walking stick. Our gaze met, and I felt a throb in my heart. His eyes drooped, his eyebrows furrowed in compassion and sadness as his lips curled downward in a sympathetic smile. He must have been feeling guilty, knowing he couldn't change Zedex’s mind despite his objection. But I wasn't angry, because I understood Zedex’s stubborn nature. His words were rules, and not even his Grandpa could change his mind. As my gaze wandered around the crowd, I felt a pang in my heart as sadness washed over me. Leaving behind the people that genuinely love and care for me was heart-wrenching. My long stay here had been hellish, from one pain to another, but the few people who had comforted me—even when they had no power to

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 47: Descent into Darkness

    Camila I felt a sharp, stabbing pain pierced through my chest, and my breath choked in my throat. His words hit me like a crushing blow, leaving my heart reeling. Was he really adamant about sending me to Troy to suffer? Did he really hate me that much, wanting me out of his sight as soon as possible? No doubt, he was truly fulfilling the promise he had made to me on our second encounter. 'It's not so simple to seek death,' he had said coldly. 'Living will be a torment that I will grant you for the rest of your life.' His words sounded loud and fresh in my head as if it were yesterday. Little tears tickled at the corner of my eyes, and I tilted my head away from all gazes, blinking them away. I sniffed in and wiped my face with the back of my hands. At this moment I had to let go of the clingy part of me that desperately wished he would save me like he always did, and take my fate into my own hands. Suddenly, Beta Mogan emerged from behind Alpha Zedex's carriage. I never kn

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 48: The Alpha’s Wrath

    Zedex POV Strangely, my heart missed a beat as I snapped my neck, turning around. I felt a hard string pulled deep down my soul when I couldn't catch a glimpse of her. I haven't paid much attention to her, ever since we left Vermilion Pack. All through the ride, Grandpa and Mogan’s words kept clashing through my mind constantly, as I tried as hard to suppress them, not let them get to me. Unexpectedly, "Camila." Her name rolled out of my lips, as my eyes widened in terror, darting back and forth in search of her. My heart began beating rapidly, my breath almost choking me. I hastily turned around and began walking back, amidst the guards. "Where is she?" My voice came out in a low groan. Instantly, Piro knelt to the ground, bowing. "She-she mistakenly slipped off the cliff and fell." He sputtered, avoiding my gaze. His words were like a dagger stabbing my heart, as my chest tightened. Zov, my wolf, let out a roar deep within, and my eyes flickered colors - amber, gold, an

    Zedex POV They all stood up and walked behind me. However, Mogan hastened up and caught up with me as we walked side to side deep into Full Mountain Pack. Mogan was silent but kept stealing glances at me, trying so hard to suppress what he had in mind to say. I tilted my head at him, “Speak.” I muttered, increasing my walking pace. Everything was already getting dark, and we needed to get to the heart of the Pack before night fell. There was no sign of birds chirping or the Owls who-whooping on trees. However, it wasn't surprising since the Pack was more careful and well-organized because of the wolf hunter. And about birds and other bush animals, this pack wasn't even a conductive habitat for them because of the Miasma hovering around, which was likewise harmful to their health. “No doubt, Piro was the one that pushed Camila off the cliff, however—“ “You finally joined the missing pieces, goddess right?” I glanced at him and asked. No wonder, I got no reaction from him whe

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 50: Poisoned

    Zedex My lips curved into a soft smirk, as I scoffed loudly, rolling my eyes. I clenched my fists, trying to suppress the rage bubbling within me, as I seethed, almost regretting why I had come to Full Mountain Pack myself. I could have asked Mogan to handle the transfer, hence Max wouldn't have had this chance to provoke me. However, I shoved it off, like always. As long as he doesn’t involve my Grandpa, I’m cool. Ever since he had left Vermilion Pack after he rebelled, I hadn't seen or heard from him. But who cared? He was no longer my brother because he ceased to be the moment he plotted against me and the Pack. Right now, I only saw him as my enemy, because he was also a friend to Troy, which made them both my enemies. All the Alphas present had their jaws dropped in shock, while the guests' faces flushed, as the tension in the room charged. "I can't believe brothers can hold such hostility towards each other." "The courage Max has to challenge his brother needs to be s

    Zedex POV “Hayaah…” I exhaled softly and tapped on the tip of the cup, requesting more tea. Mogan stared at me, hesitating again, pleading with his eyes for me not to take any more tea. I nodded, smiling, staring at the guests' faces, which looked like their eyes would pop out from their sockets. "Mogan, more tea," I voiced out, urging him with my eyes to do as he was told. "Alpha, please don't hurt yourself by taking the poisoned tea," Sally and the rest of my guards pleaded behind me. Mogan sighed as his shoulders dropped; however, this time, he bent the kettle sideways, like the first time, and filled my small cup again. I picked it up and gulped it down again. The Alphas couldn't believe their eyes, like what was unfolding in front of them. Their once shocked expression was now replaced with confusion as they stared at each other. Troy quickly regained his composure, as he seethed, "Alpha Zedex! Are we a joke to you? How dare you accuse my Pack of poisoning your tea?" h

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 52: Nameless

    Zedex "Three... I—" I couldn't finish what I had to say, suddenly Emery and Madison slumped to the ground. They let out a raspy, guttural sound, as they clung to their chests, with blood gushing from their mouths and noses. 'Even the cake was poisoned?' My gaze was fixed on Madison, as he was already struggling to breathe, his chest rising and falling in rapid breaths. My gaze averted to the variety of food on my table. 'That means everything here was poisoned.' Troy rushed to Elder Emery and held him in his arms while screaming his name. "Elder Emery! You can't just die... hold on, I will get the pack physician this minute." His voice was breaking down, as a few drops of tears flipped out of his eyes. Elder Emery shook his head, struggling to say a word; however, he uttered a harsh, hacking sound, coughing out more blood. "Guards! Bring in the Pack Physician this instant!" His voice raged out in fear and desperation. It was said that Elder Emery was the beta of Troy's fa

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 67: Zedex, Trust me!

    Camila POV My eyelashes fluttered open as my gaze landed on the ceiling. The faint scent of Zedex’s sandalwood cologne lingered in the air, grounding me in his space. It was familiar, and I slowly raised my upper body to sit upright on the bed. My eyes wandered around the room, and I instantly recognized Zedex’s chambers. I stretched my arms and twisted slightly, surprised to feel no pain in my body or joints—not even a headache. The usual ache in my ribs from past beatings was gone, replaced by an unnatural vigor. I felt renewed and strong as if energized from within. ‘When did we return to the Vermillion Pack?’ My thoughts raced, scrambling to recall what had happened. In a flash, memories flooded my mind: Max and Troy harassing me, Zedex intervening by severing their hands. Their snarls echoed in my skull, followed by the metallic tang of blood. My face fell with sadness. The rivalry between the brothers showed no sign of ending, and it pained me to know it was all because o

    Alpha Zedex.I turned around and walked further into my room, sitting at my dining table. I then untied my mask from my face, showing my scar, before pouring myself a cup of tea. After some time, Mogan didn’t hear a word from me, which made him lift his head. At that moment, I turned and our eyes met. I waved my hand, inviting him to come closer. “Come, sit,” I said softly, sipping my tea. The warmth of the drink going down my throat couldn’t compare to the sorrow in my heart. Mogan stood up and walked over to me, sitting across from where I sat. I picked up the small kettle and poured tea into both of our cups. “Zedex…” he hesitated, studying my face as I looked at him calmly. He expected me to be upset for him using my name, but my steady gaze encouraged him to continue. “I know Grandpa took it out on you,” he said quietly, understanding my pain. I would say Mogan is the only one who truly gets me. He sees right through my attempts to hide my feelings. He has witnessed me at my

    Alpha Zedex.The intense pain on my bare chin made me look at him, feeling as if I had been punched in the stomach. The hurt glimmered in my eyes, making them shiny with tears. The shock and pain from Grandpa’s slap crashed over me like a wave, and my mouth fell open because I couldn’t understand why he was defending Max, even though he had planned to hurt me. “Grandpa!” I shouted, my voice trembling. The anger and frustration I held back spilled out like a dam breaking. Tears welled in my eyes, and I felt my face flush with rage. I balled my hands into fists to keep my emotions in check. “Enough, Zedex!” he responded, his eyes filled with disappointment and sadness as he looked into mine. “Why did you hurt your brother?” His expression suddenly softened, and he began to cry. “Hmph!” I scoffed, unable to stop a hurtful laugh from escaping as I stood up from the floor. I wasn't surprised by what he said; it was always the first question he asked whenever Max and I fought. But what

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 64: Hot Slap

    Alpha Zedex Lan kept a steady smile on his face, but his clenched fist revealed his inner turmoil. The sadness in his eyes was unmistakable, though he did his best to hide his sorrow. “Just tell me, did you see Max? How is he?” Lan pressed again, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears. No matter what had transpired, as I mentioned earlier, family ties run deep, but betrayal leaves wounds that no relationship can mend. I turned to Grandpa, who stepped closer, his intense gaze fixed on me. I could tell he was anxious—eager for any news about his grandson. There was no escaping this moment; it would come out eventually. Mogan noticed the tension between us and moved forward. The sound of his boots echoed in the quiet hall as he clasped his hands behind his back and began to pace slowly, drawing everyone’s attention. “The Full Mountain Pack deceived us,” he declared loudly. “It was all a lie. There was no human attack. There were no killings. Alpha Troy and Max lured our Alpha there t

    Alpha ZedexAmore pulled his finger away from her pulse and let out a sharp breath, rubbing his temple. "If I'm right, I've only heard of one bloodline like this—the—" "I forbid you, Amore," I interrupted, my eyes darkening. This was a forbidden topic because the name was a curse. It was part of old horror stories that scare pops and young wolves. The Oswaldo Howlers had vanished long before my father was born; they were eliminated during the blood purge due to their terrifying abilities. They were the most powerful with the strongest gifts, which made them seen as evil. If Camila had even a trace of their cursed bloodline… “Give her more poison.” My voice was dangerously calm as I moved closer to get a better look. Amore was taken aback by my command, his body tensing. “B-but Alpha, the poison didn’t—” “Then use silver.” I interrupted sharply. At this point, I needed proof, and I was willing to go to any lengths. Amore’s fingers trembled slightly as he took a deep breath. “Alph

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 62: Camila, who are you?

    Alpha Zedex"Alpha Zedex!" Beta Mogan's voice cut through the air.I couldn't respond because my mouth was still locked with Camila's. Mogan, being the sharp-minded wolf, dismounted from his horse and approached our carriage."Shit! He can't see me like this," my mind pounded. Immediately, I struck the pressure point on her neck with my hand. Her body went limp as she weakly released me and collapsed, her back hitting against the wooden carriage bed.At that instant, I pulled away, and Mogan yanked open my carriage curtain, his eyes darting inside. Mogan's gaze swayed from Camila's unconscious body form back to me. His lips curved into a small smirk, but his expression hardened immediately and he cleared his throat, blinking away."Alpha, we're about to cross the bridge," he informed, and I gave a sharp nod and flicked my wrist, dismissing him.With a knowing grin, he let the curtain fall closed. But before the curtain fell, I caught the faintest curve of his smile. I knew he must be

    Alpha ZedexThe other carriage was taken away while Mogan and the rest of the guards hopped on their horses and began riding away.After a long-distance ride, I opened the animal skin curtain and stared outside. It was still early hours, as everywhere was dark, and the chilly breeze blew up leaves from the ground. Mogan kept hitting the horse to hasten up without delay.I closed the curtain and sat upright facing her, yet my mind was clouded with the events that happened back at Full Mountain Palace Hall. The way I brutally hurt them kept replaying fresh in my head, followed by the image of Grandpa and Lan.'How do I explain this to them?' My mind reeled. ‘Grandpa and Lan, how would they react to knowing about Max losing his hand? I just hope Grandpa's health doesn't worsen and Lan doesn't hate me for what I did to his brother because, above all, blood is thicker than water.’“Save me. Don't leave me, please,” A faint, barely audible whisper snapped me out of my thoughts, as my gaze t

  • Her Mate, His Redemption   Chapter 60; Stay with her

    Alpha ZedexThe woman ran out and bowed before me with her head glued to the ground. “My Alpha Zedex, human hunters indeed attacked the pack, however, most of their men died the moment they stepped into the mountain because of the heavy Miasma. That way, they never had the chance to attack us and quickly retreated.” She disclosed what actually happened.Sally sprang to his feet and ran to the woman, standing by her side. “There was no bloodshed, no kidnapping?“ He asked, refusing to believe Troy would dare lie to me.Another man rushed forward and bowed, “Alpha Zedex, Sarah was telling the truth. Indeed, the human hunters came to attack, but they never succeeded, so they quickly retreated.” The man supported the woman’s words.My shoulder lightly slumped in disappointment as I gazed at Max. I wondered what he saw in Troy that made him align with him. When it came to age, Troy was far older than him with almost seventeen years gap, and also more experienced. I wondered what he was gain

    Alpha ZedexShe fell into my arms, and I held onto her tightly. Stupid Zov was grinning from ear to ear after brutally chopping off the hands that had harassed his mate. All the while, when Max and Troy were taunting her and making fun of her vulnerability, I decided not to interfere because I was enjoying how far they were pushing her to her limit.Zov couldn't bear the sight of his mate in trouble because he sensed her fear and pain. However, I had to push him to the back of my mind. I couldn't let his affection for his mate ruin my sense of reasoning just because he wanted to protect her, while I wanted to see her suffer and see how much she could endure.As she lay in my arms, it felt like time had stopped moving. Zov slipped out of his cage and took control over me, the urge to protect and hurt whoever caused her pain overwhelming me.My arms wrapped protectively around her as my gaze remained fixed on her face. ‘Our mate is such a beauty,’ Zov whispered in my head, grinning even
