Isaac unpacked his things at his new room, provided by the lord of Cadieux residence. Looking outside through the windowpane, he watched the scenery. It was the same heaven he admired but weirdly, it felt very different today. Isn't it because he's like an anxious cat who was suddenly brought into a new household? With a sigh, he fixed his eyes on the ground and remembered Lanceil’s last will before he died. [Please protect that kid] Isaac would not try to oppose his savior’s will. Yet, just like what Dwight said before, serving Maxine was against his wish. 'I wonder if I can wholeheartedly protect someone, even when my loyalty to Elder Lanceil is second to none,' such thoughts kept him awake. His butt fell on the soft bed, and as if his soul fell too, his body oddly felt so light. Mind was blank, he stared at nothing until his vision went hazy again. His throat was set on fire as his breathing seemed to swallow air. Warm liquid wetted his face as he remained moveless. 'Kno
Maxine's POV I'm not well informed about the pack’s Hierarchy. But when Dwight said... [ "Do you think that the two Elders would agree to abandon their positions?"] I thought Alphas will always be the highest position the pack. But it seemed the Elder’s position had a lot of influence in the clans. That’s why even the Alphas had to respect the Elders. ‘If Uncle Lanceil abandoned his Elder’s title, will there be another Elder for Wayne?’ "Do you want to drink wine?" Isaac inquired. To cover my anxiousness, I strolled around the house, walking in the garden, in the living room, in the kitchen...etc. Now that Isaac talked, I just found myself standing in front of the wine sideboard. "Ahhh, y-yeah" I blurted out. Unlike me, Dwight doesn't display any sign of uneasiness. He just kept on following me wherever I went and that made me guilty because I've been walking non-stop. 'Right. He must be tired.' "What wine do you want? I'll prepare it for you," he offered. 'Maybe, drinking s
[“The Alpha of Wayne wouldn’t get an Elder for Wayne. Elder Sebastian and Elder Jericho stayed in their positions.]“As expected.”[“Then, are you going to get the girl or reveal her identity? Lanceil is dead. This is the perfect time.”]“No. We need to wait more.”The old woman dropped the call as she folded her hands. Then, she looked at her wobbly reflection on the tea. Her skin was hanging loose and the top of her head had grey hairs.Despite being one of the powerful Mages, she could not escape from mortality. Unlike werewolves who have long life and long youth, she’s walking near her end. And she hates this. She hates the fact that she’s envious of the beasts that they wanted to eradicate at once.“But now that I found your daughter, I can finally fulfill my wish before dying,” she whispered.A sinister smile followed as her eyes looked at Maxine’s picture on the table.Who is this old woman? For Maxine’s mother, she is someone she had resented for a long time and the Mage respo
The Alpha of the Den was investigating on his own. There is this flower named Konki in his garden but no matter how he searched for it, he found nothing. "Where's Edgar?" Vincent asked to Joel who was standing beside him. "He's still out, Alpha," Joel answered, then chewed his bubblegum. Sitting while staring at his garden, Vincent folded his fingers. He sent Edgar to know the reason why his father planted the unknown flower at his place. But Hunter arrived first and told him about the news of Wayne’s Elder sudden death. Now, his mind was torn between two things: Konki and the probability of Chandler becoming the ultimate leader of the three clans. "My head is aching," he murmured. Right at the time, Joel sneezed from behind. "ACHING!" Then boom! 'OMG!' JOEL GASPED INWARDLY WHEN HIS BUBBLEGUM FLEW ON THE WAY TO Vincent’s HEAD. Bubblegum on the Alpha’s hair. Joel knew that once Vincent found this, he's doomed. And so, he carefully raised his hand in order to get it in secret.
Maxine’s POVVincent took a sip on his mango shake; it was that shake ordered by the angry customer, but Vincent had bought it instead.I kept silent as I watched him across my seat. Somehow, he seems like he’s avoiding my eyes on purpose the minute he sits there."I heard that Chandler’s father died," he started and finally diverted his eyes to mine. "My last conversation with the old man wasn't good. I felt a bit guilty," he added.Isaac is sitting at the next table, exactly behind my back. 'I hope it's okay to talk about Mr. Lanceil with Vincent, while he is present.'"I am sending my deep condolence to Chandler and to that man behind you," Vincent said sincerely.I, who don't know how to react, have carefully opened my mouth. "Thank you.""Now that I'm done sending my condolences, let's get to the main topic." He took another sip on his shake. Next, he leaned his back on his chair and crossed his arms. "Who are you?""Huh?"His question consists of three simple words. But they are
As the Alpha of the Den was in deep sleep, two of the Delta went to his room and waited for him to wake up. Meanwhile, Joel was left alone with the guest, Miss Maxine. She sat at the place where Holmes' siblings sat. On the table, there is cake and tea. Maxine did not drink the tea and instead pretended to take a sip and smell it. ‘It smells good,’ she complimented inside her head. Unknown to her, the tea that was served is called Da-Hong Pao Tea. At $1.2 million per kilogram, Da-Hong Pao Tea is the most expensive tea in the world. This variety has been declared a national treasure by the Chinese government and dates back to the Ming Dynasty. But when Vincent went to China, he successfully had two kilos of the tea, with his connection. [“If I have an important guest, make sure you’ll serve this”] It was Vincent’s command to his attendants. Therefore, Joel decided to serve this tea for Maxine. Why not? $1.2 million is not enough to buy the heart of the Alpha’s lady. "I really
Maxine’s POV I have two dream jobs. First, to become a reporter. But things didn’t go in my way so I decided to not pursuing that goal. Second, to own a coffee shop. Among those, I became the latter choice. It never came to me that I will handle a real coffee shop. But because of the incident when someone collapsed in front of me, I was convinced that I should study more about running a business. "If I only know that I will have a shop like this, I should choose the business management course,” I told to myself. True, it is pointless to regret anything by now. I placed the book down and left it open on page 3. Weirdly, even if I read these words written in these expensive papers five times, nothing sinks inside my head. It is not the interest that matters but also those assumptions I had a moment ago. "Someone was definitely staring at me. Who is it?" Knock knock. Faint knocks woke me from falling deep in my thoughts. I looked at the door while waiting for the voice I will h
"Aren't you going to stay for dinner?" Maxine asked Adam as they walked around the garden. The night was quiet. Footsteps on the grass were the only sounds they could hear as of now. "I don't like to see Dwight today because my sixth sense told me that he will piss me off," Adam answered, both hands in his inner pockets. By hearing that, Maxine wondered with a faint laugh, "That's a lot of hate for your best friend." "I would like to spend more of my time with my new best friend," he retorted, which stopped her steps. She pored at his side then soon met his eyes that were darkly shaded under the moonlight. "This best friend of mine is my favorite," he added. 'What does it mean? ' Looking at him with this thought, Maxine opened her lips again. "I am...your new best friend?" If Adam says 'yes', that would be very confusing in her case. They kissed, hugged and even finally confessed to each other. No matter how much she ponders, it is weird to be his best friend all of a
Hi. Regarding the last chapter, let me give some explanation. Question: Why it suddenly ended that way? What the hell was that? I was also sad that I need to end it this way. Well, the original chapters of this should be 300. However, I received a notice that I should finish the story this month. I don't want to just end it just like that. And so, instead of giving a weird ending, I summarized all the chapters in Chapter 234. If I will be given a chance, I will continue to write the other chapters as epilogues. Thank you for supporting this book. It was a long journey that suddenly ended in the mid-way.
The reason why the enemy was looking for Maxine was that they were looking for the sealed item the mage stole from the magic tower.They believe that it is an item that will kill all the werewolves, and they think that once the werewolves are gone, peace will come next.However, Kelly Park discovered that it wasn’t an item but a real person. The prophecy about a child who can save or kill the werewolves was about Maxine.It was then revealed by Kelly that Maxine’s parents deliberately sent Maxine away from the packs so that she would avoid her destiny of choosing between killing the werewolves as the mages or saving the packs as the Luna.Because of the spell cast on Maxine, she had a hard time fighting over her mages power.Kelly decided to use Maxine to kill the Alphas.Chandler, Brett, Adam, Isaac, Eugene, Vincent, and Edgar came to save Maxine.They killed some mages on their way, however, they didn’t expect what Kelly would do.Under the spell, Maxine appeared in front of the Alp
The Alphas felt a throbbing pain in their chests. When they did, they knew something had happened. Adam and Brett went to Chandler. And when they arrived, they heard the news. Maxine was missing. The one who told it to them was none other than Isaac who came back and reported that Maxine’s power was awakened. “Are you nuts?! Why did you let her go alone?” Adam asked Chandler, grabbing his collar. “Adam, calm down your shit,” Brett said. Adam let go of Chandler, and Chandler nonchalantly fixed his collar. Catching his breath, Adam looked at Isaac. Isaac was injured. “Who did that to you?” Adam asked. Isaac held his injured arm and lowered his head. Then he said, “When Miss Maxine was awakening, I tried to hold her. But her power was too strong.” “Y-You mean, Maxine did that to you?” Brett asked. Isaac’s wordless response stunned the two Alphas. It seemed the prophecy was real when it said that the Queen of Luna can kill all the beast. Not only because she’s a werewolf, b
“I killed my father,” Maxine murmured. She was sitting on the moist floor filled with Konki flower.“Maxine!” Isaac shouted, staring at her. He held her shoulder and shook her to let her regain her consciousness. But as he held her, he felt her convulsed.“I killed my father,” Maxine like a crazy woman. She wailed loudly, pounding her chest while her other hand pulled her hair.Isaac did not know what to do. Panicking, he looked around. He dropped his phone when Maxine suddenly fell after eating the flower, so he had no light to see her clearly. Even if he carries her out, it will be hard to walk in the dark.“I killed her, I killed him!” she shouted tremendously.With trembling hands, Isaac searched for his phone on the ground. He felt the need to hurry because at Maxine’s condition. He needs to get her out of here as soon as possible.Suddenly, a light brightened the space.Isaac searched where it came from and was shocked to see it coming from Maxine’s hand. The bracelet on her han
Eugene woke up very dizzy inside the silent room. After blinking so much, the blindfold slowly slid down. His eyes started to adapt to the sudden brightness from pitch dark. He looked around, trying to recognize where the hell he was. But he didn’t even see anyone.“Hmmm!” someone groaned behind him.He looked back and saw Max who was tied with duct tape around her wrist just like him.“M..hmmm!” Eugene tried to call her name, but his mouth was also covered with tape. They are in the same situation, tied and unable to move. But unlike Max who had her eyes covered, Eugene could see their surroundings.‘We’re kidnapped!’ he realized.Eugene, who learned how to wolf out even at a young age, tried to shift into his young wolf form. But there was a blinding light from the rope. It has the spell of Mage.That’s weird. Usually, Mage’s spell doesn’t work for werewolves. It was then the young Eugene realized that the Mage might have found a weapon against the beasts.A bullet of panic rose in
Maxine’s POV Flapping.Flapping. I started looking through the handwritten documents inside the envelope. Then, I read them one by one.[This is the research about how I discovered the plant that can make a spell that will seal a werewolf’s memories and powers.] I looked at the papers and continued reading them.[With the right spell and the flower, I can create a sealing weapon against a beast.] There are other terms that I could not understand so I skipped some of them and looked for the last page.[“The prophecy said that my daughter will be the last key to kill the beasts. So, I sealed her power to keep her away from the unending war. If my daughter finds this out, I hope she will understand why I had to do this. – Beverly.]My eyes widened at the familiar name at the end of the report. It was my mother’s name.It was my mom who… sealed my power?As I make my conclusion, my hands tremble at the papers I’m holding.‘I have the ability to kill the beasts?’ My eyes diverted back
Finally, the owner of Maxine’s old house decided to sell it back to her. And so, the first thing that Maxine did when she came back was to go to that old house. Maxine brought her necklace and her mother’s necklace which turned like a key. When they arrived inside, they looked for a locked door where they would use the key.The last owner said that there was an underground place in the house that they failed to open. They tried to smash the door, but none of it worked, so they just left it untouchable for many years. Hearing that, Maxine decided to visit the underground place together with Isaac.Isaac looked at Maxine who was holding the key. Unlike before, her eyes were filled with determination.Maxine tried the key she was holding and with just one swipe, the door unlocked.Isaac’s eyes widened. Perhaps Maxine didn’t see it, but he saw a spell around the door.‘The reason why they could not open it was because it has Mage’s spell,’ Isaac thought.Click.Maxine’s heart pounded.
Maxine is Chandler’s mate and wife. She’s in love with Adam. She is the daughter of the former Alpha, who became a rogue. And she is Brett’s first love.That’s what Brett knew about Maxine.But after his conversation with his father, Brett created another hypothesis about Maxine’s identity.‘Did Chandler marry her while knowing her power?’ To know the answer, Brett called Chandler early in the morning even if he was aware that Chandler and Maxine were away for their honeymoon.“I love Maxine,” this was what Brett said as soon as Chandler picked up the phone.Chandler, who just woke up, chuckled.[“Telling this to Maxine’s husband right after their honeymoon, you are so unpredictable, Brett.”]Brett couldn’t reply and just tightened his hand around his phone.[“It was probably hard for you to watch the wedding between Maxine and I.”]“Yes, I am super jealous. Even right now. Just knowing that you and Maxine spent the night together made me mad.”[“This the first time I heard you feel
Maxine’s POVSitting on the bed while naked, I looked at my husband, the man who threatened my life the first time we met again after many years. With a thick white blanket to give warmth to his naked body, he’s sleeping in peace. Laying down with his chest against the bed sheet, cheek on the pillow while his arms wrapped around the cushion, his wide bare shoulder rises and falls at a slow pace.He’s sleeping as if he’s a toy with dead batteries which is in need of be charged. It’s the same for me. After our last night’s activity, I felt so tired, and I am experiencing body aches here and there. It seemed I got drunk with ecstasy, but all memories are vividly playing inside my head.The hangover I had after waking up wasn’t because of the alcohol, which I didn’t take, but the realization I had last night.‘I love two men.’ It was then when I looked at Chandler’s angelic sleeping face and I remembered the confession I made exactly on this bed.“I love you… I love him and you…” “We lo
