Susan couldn’t take it anymore. She had been waiting for Robin since noon, but he never came to see her. Clicking her tongue in annoyance, she stepped out of her room, ready to leave the house—completely unaware that Robin was in the kitchen, cooking.She squinted her eyes to make sure that she wasn't hallucinating. But no. it's the reality.“Ow!” Robin exclaimed as he accidentally bumped into a hot pan.With a grumble, he continued cooking, oblivious to Susan watching him intently, hoping that Robin was preparing a surprise dinner for her.Her brow furrowed as Robin finally packed a portion of aglio olio pasta into a lunchbox. She knew Robin was well aware that she despised that sauce and loved bolognese instead.Humming, Robin grabbed his jacket, which was draped over one of the pantry chairs, and placed the lunchbox into a shopping bag.He snatched his car keys and was about to leave when he noticed Susan standing there.“Where are you going?” Susan asked coldly.“None of your busi
The forest was unusually quiet as Susan strode deeper into its shadows, her bare feet brushing against the soft undergrowth. The cool breeze of the evening rustled the leaves, carrying with it the scents of the pack lands. Her chest was tight, frustration bubbling just beneath the surface as she replayed her argument with Robin. She had to get away, if only for a little while.Reaching the clearing, far from prying eyes, she pulled off her clothes and let them fall into a neat pile on the ground. Her fingers trembled slightly as she closed her eyes, inhaling deeply to calm her nerves. She tilted her head to listen for any sounds—any signs of life. The last thing she needed was someone catching her in this moment.Satisfied she was alone, Susan let go of the tension in her body, allowing the shift to take over. Bones cracked, fur sprouted, and in a matter of moments, her human form was gone, replaced by the sleek figure of a black wolf. She shook herself, the transformation freeing her
The case was winding down, though the weight of the months-long pursuit lingered heavily over the Silverhide Alliance. For countless days and nights, they had toiled, pushing themselves beyond their limits to dismantle the Rogue King’s network. Victories had been won, but the scars of battle were evident on every member of the alliance.Alpha King Raymond, standing as the unwavering leader of the coalition, had observed the toll it had taken. He had always prided himself on his sharp instincts—not only in battle but also in understanding his people. They were drained, their spirits frayed from constant vigilance.In a gathering of the allied alphas, Raymond addressed them, his tone firm yet tinged with compassion. "We’ve pushed hard, and the rogues are retreating, but we cannot afford to break our own strength. I’m ordering a rest period for the alliance. Most of our warriors will stand down for a while to recover."Relief washed over the room, but the Alpha King’s next words carried
After weeks, the issue of Rogue King Alex scouring Canada has subsided. Ultimately, only Luna Celine, Alpha Ryan's partner, fell victim.Alpha Daniel came to Silverhide Mansion only to meet Alpha King Raymond alone. He needed a one-on-one meeting with his leader without the intervention of any party.Alpha Daniel knocked on the door and entered Alpha King Raymond's office."How is Alpha Daniel? Is there anything important we can discuss again?" asked Alpha King Raymond.Alpha Daniel sat down and smiled at Alpha King Raymond."Rogue King Alex has been waiting to be seen or heard from in our territory for several weeks. The scouts and guards of the Alliance packs have ensured that her movements in Canada have ceased. He told Alpha King Raymond.Alpha Daniel delivered his report in a firm tone despite the apparent tension on his face. Alpha King Raymond leaned back in an oversized oak chair.He nodded as he said, "Finally we can take a moment to rest in peace, it's been quite a drain of
A month later, we see Sierra rushing out of the ambulance, followed by Alpha Daniel. They took Clara to the emergency room.Raindrops accompanied them that night. They pounded the ground with a steady rhythm, like melancholy music. The air in the emergency room was filled with the scent of antiseptic and the sound of the fetal heart monitor connected to Clara. Finally, it was time, and the opening was almost complete. The medical team took Clara to the action room. She continued to scream in pain as she felt the contractions intensify, breaking the silence with the sound of Clara's regular doctor's pack accompanied by a nurse giving firm instructions."Control your breathing, Clara. Don't keep screaming so you don't run out of energy," said the pack doctor.Clara immediately tried to regulate her breathing, inhaling and exhaling slowly and slowly to conserve energy, as advised by the pack doctor.Sweat flooded her face, especially when the dilation was complete, and the fetus continu
Hours later, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed down the hospital hallway to the room where Clara and her baby were.Alpha Robin walked determinedly, accompanied by Alpha Edward, who kept a calm expression on his face. "Stay calm, don't be hasty and emotional, Alpha Robin. You're going to see a birth mother and her baby who really need calm from those who visit them." Alpha Edward said, breaking the tension.Alpha Robin didn't seem to listen and continued walking, "After that, I have to make sure that Clara and my son return to the Moonlight Pack."Alpha Edward rolled his eyes as he sighed, "Too risky and selfish in my opinion, you know Clara wouldn't agree to that, right? You're forcing her and you're actually losing the right to do it."Alpha Robin stopped his stepsand turned to Alpha Edward with a sharp look. "I'm the baby's father and I want to protect it, is that wrong?" Alpha Edward just chuckled and shook his head. He couldn't believe that Alpha Robin was so stubborn. Alpha
After a few days of postpartum care at the hospital, Clara returned home to the Dark Moon pack.The evening breeze greeted Clara as she stepped outside the Dark Moon Pack house. Despite the cold air, the warmth of the pack members' welcome made Clara feel more comfortable. Alpha Daniel ordered several Omegas to help carry Clara, and one of them held Clara's baby."Welcome back, Mrs. Clara, and congratulations on the birth of your child," Beta George said with smiling.Clara responded with a smile too and the tiredness still on her face, not making it a complaint this time. She was just grateful to be welcomed back into the pack she grew up in.Alpha Daniel then went to Clara's side and ensured everything was set up as well as possible for Clara's arrival. Alpha Daniel looked at the baby and was curious about the crescent mark on the baby's shoulder. Something tickled him since Alpha Daniel had seen it for the first time."Take a rest, because the pack doctor said you have to rest a
"You look so tired, you must have stayed up late, huh? I salute a mother's fight." Clara suddenly turned her head at the sound of this voice and found Sierra standing in the doorway with a cup of hot tea in her hand. Sierra's eyes seemed to follow every line of exhaustion on Clara's face."That's how it is, Sierra. But it makes me wonder why my parents abandoned me in the first place, were they really that tired and struggling to take care of me?" asked Clara to Sierra.Sierra sighed, "No, you have a family that takes care of you. It's us."Clara nodded. She felt strange because now the dreams of her past were no longer present but replaced by other nightmares. If it were just a sleeping flower and a typical dream, it would only last a few times, but every time she had a nightmare, why did it always have to be the same dream?Clara was silent for a moment. She looked at Sierra and wanted to tell her about her dream again, but somehow, she hesitated.Sierra read Clara's anxious expres
That afternoon, Michael, about to hold a meeting with investors from California, suddenly had to cancel their meeting at the Blue Sky Packhouse because Joe suddenly felt labor contractions. Michael immediately rushed to his wife without a second thought and called for a healer. He was willing to lose the opportunity and potential investment from those wealthy investors for the sake of his unborn child and his wife, who were far more valuable. A few moments later, the healer arrived and assisted with Joe's delivery. Michael and Dana accompanied Joe into her room while others, including Clara, Daniel, Ella, and Robin, anxiously waited outside. Screams filled the room. Joe gripped Michael's hand tightly, sweat covering her forehead. Dana stood beside her, whispering words of encouragement, while the healer did everything possible to assist in the tense delivery. "Just a little more, Joe! You can do it!" Dana's voice trembled, her eyes full of hope. "When I went through the pain of gi
Time passed quickly, and Joe's pregnancy had grown significantly. Clara was always ready to help whenever Joe needed her.Joe was not only her daughter-in-law but also her beloved niece, a precious replacement for Dana."Michael, remember what I told you. Take care of Joe, including postponing all your work if she asks you to simply accompany her for lunch. Do you understand?" Clara advised Michael over the phone.For the past few days, Joe had complained about Michael being too busy at the pack house, handling countless tasks. Clara could relate, as Alpha Daniel's workload had also increased. That's why she was making sure Michael wouldn't make the same mistake, especially now when Joe needed attention the most in the final stages of her pregnancy.The golden hues of the evening sky stretched over Dark Moon Pack as a soft spring breeze swept through. Clara stood on her balcony, gazing at the distant dense forest. Her thoughts wandered, filled with memories of her sister, Dana, who wa
Behind the happiness before, of course, there was also something painful for Dana a few months ago. She suffered a miscarriage just before her due date. Her dream of having a child with Robin had to be dashed, but their sadness still comforted Joe.Clara finally asked Michael, Joe, Alpha Daniel, Robin, and Dana to gather at the Dark Moon pack meeting hall that day. Followed by the Council. They were all surprised because it was unusual for Clara to gather them. "Honey, I'm sorry if I've been too busy lately. But can you tell me first about our meeting with them tonight?" Clara shook her head as she straightened her makeup in the mirror."No, I want everyone to find out at once. It will be very surprising." Clara said."Does this have anything to do with the other day when you borrowed that ancient book of your family tree, and you didn't even tell me what the problem was?" Daniel asked."Yes, it does. Alpha Daniel, that's the clue. At that time I was in the observation stage, so I
One Year LaterJoe was now pregnant, entering her second month of pregnancy. Along with that happiness, the alliance and the packs under the Silverhide Alliance remained stable and at peace.Meanwhile, in the late afternoon at the Dark Moon Pack, a cool breeze brushed through Clara's hair. The air was crisp, carrying the earthy scent of damp soil after the morning rain.Clara gazed into the distance, her eyes fixed on the forest a few meters from the pack house. Something was troubling her mind."I miss you, Edward, Mom, Dad," Clara whispered in her heart, gripping the locket her parents had left behind.No matter how much she had grown, even now as she reached old age, Clara still missed her family. It was understandable—she had only briefly enjoyed the time she had found her biological family, only to be separated again by Alpha Edward’s death.At Dana's house, the woman sat on a bench, seemingly lost in thought, much like Clara. Though she had more freedom to occupy herself—trainin
The wedding party was smooth and lively until the end. They all enjoyed themselves and felt the atmosphere of happiness at Blue Sky Pack.The night after the wedding, Michael and Joe went on their honeymoon to a beach a few hours away from Blue Sky Pack. It was like a dream for both of them. They both stood on the balcony of their hotel room, gazing out at the vast sea. The gently lapping waves created a soothing rhythm accompanying their new journey as mate, husband, and wife. The moonlight reflecting off the water's surface added to the night's magical atmosphere.Michael took a deep breath and looked at Joe with eyes full of love. "I can't believe we're finally here, when before I thought it would be so difficult to bring our families together," he said hoarsely, almost in disbelief.Joe smiled, his eyes sparkling. "Me too. It feels like everything we've experienced before is just part of a complicated journey, but I always believed we'd find the point."The two looked at each othe
Long story short, they decided to formalize the relationship between Michael and Joe as soon as possible. One week later, the wedding reception was held after Michael successfully marked Joe as dead.Michael and Joe's wedding party took place with great fanfare at the Blue Sky Pack residence, the pack inherited from Alpha Edward, who Michael had long led as his new Alpha.Guests included Alpha King Raymond of the Silverhide Alliance and all the Alphas under the alliance. All the guests looked happy, enjoying a night of joy. Small lights twinkled in the sky, creating a romantic atmosphere around the garden decorated with fresh flowers. Music played softly, and guests danced on the main dance floor. There was joy in every corner, laughter accompanying every conversation, and eyes sparkling with hope.In addition, a full moon adorned the blissful atmosphere, adding sacredness to the two werewolves who the Moon Goddes' fate had united."It turns out that fighting for you is not as difficu
Clara and Alpha Daniel went to Dana and Robin's residence that night. They intended to find a solution to the new problem about Michael and Dana's relationship.There would be clarity that wouldn't be burdensome to Michael or Joe.When Clara arrived, they were at the gate, and there was mutual silence between Robin, Dana, Clara, and Daniel, for none of them would have expected the separation to take over the meeting.Michael sat with a tense posture and a hardened jaw in the small meeting room at Dana's house. As if in a courtroom, in front of him were four people closely connected to each other's pasts and possible futures. They were gathered in a tense atmosphere.Clara sat next to Michael, her expression stern but still full of tender affection. Meanwhile, Alpha Daniel, who had become Michael's father figure over the years, stared intently at Robin, who had stripped him of his Alpha title and whom Michael had been trying to avoid.Robin was stiff, his eyes dark with unpredictable e
Michael had expected his return home to be met with varying degrees of shock and concern, perhaps even disapproval. But as the evening unfolded, his family’s reaction to the truth of his situation was nothing like he had imagined. Instead of judgment or frustration, there was an overwhelming sense of understanding and support that left him both surprised and relieved.Clara, his mother, had been the first to respond after hearing his full confession. She didn’t shout, didn’t scold him for the secrecy or the mess he found himself tangled in. Instead, she simply sat across from him, her hands resting on the steaming cup of tea she hadn’t yet touched. Her sharp gaze softened as she leaned forward slightly, her voice steady and calm.“Michael,” she said gently, “the Moon Goddess doesn’t make mistakes. If Joe Harper is your mate, then she is meant to be yours, no matter what obstacles stand in your way. And that includes Robin.”Michael blinked, caught off guard by her tone. He had expecte
Michael's days away from Joe were anything but peaceful. The distance didn’t bring the clarity he’d hoped for. If anything, it made things worse. As a werewolf, being away from his mate was almost unbearable. Every fiber of his being screamed for her presence, and the constant tug in his chest reminded him of what he was trying to deny.Three nights passed with little to no sleep. He’d toss and turn, unable to quiet his restless thoughts or soothe the ache that came with missing Joe. By the fourth night, he was at his breaking point. The walls of his apartment felt too tight, the silence too loud. He needed something—someone—to ground him. And so, without overthinking it, he packed a small bag, grabbed his keys, and started the long drive home to his family.The thought of seeing them brought a flicker of relief. He could already picture the playful arguments with Ella, his younger sister, who was always easy to tease. Just imagining the way her face would scrunch up in frustration wa
