The locker's owner Sydnee was as shocked as Lilla."I-I don't know..." she shook her head. "I don't know why there are nails in my locker. These aren't mine.""Whose then, if they aren't yours?" Mina chimed in. "I was wondering why you were sneaking around the locker earlier this morning, so that's what you were up to.""I didn't!" Sydnee shook her head frantically looking to me for help. "It wasn’t me, Luna."It wasn't her. That was what my gut was telling me.The look in her eyes is genuine. However..."We have both witnesses and evidence. Do you still want to argue against it?""But... I really didn't!" Sydnee took Lilla's hand. "You believe me, right? We grew up together!"Lilla looked troubled, but she still said, "Luna, I don't think it's Sydnee. Maybe we should search a few more lockers?"That's what I had in mind too. That Mina girl was the most suspicious. I really wanted to check her phone now, as the content in it could possibly explain everything.At this moment, a female
Before I could react, Enzo dragged Kyle away from me by his collar."A verbal thank you would be enough," Enzo snapped, his face a little sullen.Kyle laughed dryly and kept glancing upstairs; I immediately understood what he meant.Kyle had probably brought his date home, but he didn't want Lilla and Enzo to know.The most important thing to do now was to get Enzo and Lilla away.I focused on the unfinished red wine glass and pretended to head to the sofa to sit down.But then...I turned my hell and hit the coffee table directly. The glass fell to the ground, spilling red wine all over my dress."Oh, dear!" I exclaimed.Enzo walked over. "What's wrong?"I learned on him and gasped, "I knocked on the coffee table with my knee, and my skirt is ruined.""It's okay, I have clean clothes in my room. You can wear mine for now," Lilla said.Just what I wanted.But instead of following Lilla upstairs, I raised my head to look at Enzo and frowned. "I hit my leg, and it hurts. Could you carry
Enzo's POVI couldn't let Andrea go to the border and face those Rogues.She has received proper training and had been trapped in Alpha Michael's villa for nineteen years.She has no combat or fighting experience. So, I didn't stop Cindy from saying those hurting words to Andrea.Cindy was right. She wouldn't be of any help on the battlefield.But that didn't mean she would be a burden to me. I just couldn't bear the slightest possibility of her getting hurt.Just like today.I knew she hadn't hurt her knee, but I picked her up nevertheless because even a slight bruise on her distressed me.I've seen her on the verge of death, which nearly killed me.That's why I couldn't allow her to follow me into the battlefield.Her lips moved lightly, as though she wanted to say something more.But in the end, she just forced a bitter smile and said, "Go on then. You'll definitely win."I pulled her into my arms and kissed her forehead gently. "Wait for me."Half an hour later, Kyle brought a tea
Enzo's POVCindy visibly flinched upon seeing me.After a few seconds, she said, "I was going to ambush the Rogues."I approached her and looked her in the eye. "That's not a smart move. You know that.""...I'm sorry, Alpha. I was just eager to contribute," Cindy said, baring her neck in submission."Go back," I told her.I'll give her a chance whether she was telling the truth or not, for the sake of our partnership.She took two steps back, then turned around and asked, "Are we really going to kill all those Rogues, Alpha?""What do you think?" I asked back, studying her expression."I see." Cindy left without anything else.Three days later in the morning, just as I was about to rest, there was a sudden rustling. I could hear messy footsteps coming.In the darkness of the night, dozens ghostly wolf eyes flashed. With saliva dripping from their fangs, they approached me.The Rogue leader was a black-brown male wolf with a sturdy body and a sharp glint in his eyes.Those Rogues had t
"Luna! Alpha has returned!" a maid shouted excitedly as she ran inside."What's all the fuss? Where is your manner?" Mary came down the stairs and scolded the girl.The maid lowered her head, dare not say another word.I always had a hint of fear when I faced Mary, and I wasn't sure why.Perhaps it's because she had taken care of Enzo growing up, and I should respect her.Or maybe it's because she really resembled Ellen and reminded me of my miserable past.Whichever it was, I didn't dare speak up in her presence.I took a deep breath, then said, "I'll go out and have a look, then.""Wait!" Mary called out from behind me."Is there something you need?" I turned around and asked.Mary raised her eyebrows, her wrinkled eyelids wide open. With a smug look, she said, "You should be well aware of your position after this battle, Miss Gilmore.""...""The one who can truly stand by Alpha's side, helping him handle pack affairs and facing powerful enemies... that's my daughter, Cindy, and no
Enzo leaned closer to me and said, "You're in heat."His hot breath sprayed across my skin. It felt good, and it relieved my discomfort to some extent.My arms came up to wrap around his shoulder involuntarily, as I rubbed the tip of my nose against his neck. It was my instinct, and it felt natural to react that way.His muscles turned rock hard under my touch, like a marble baked in the sun."I-I don't... feel so good..."My head was dizzy. My grip on his arm tightened till my nails dug into his flesh.The wine scent he exuded constantly lured me closer, seducing me. I felt drunk but also very much sober at the same time.My brain was in a mess, but my body was moving toward Enzo with a clear purpose..."Enzo..." I muttered his name."I'm here."His voice seemed to echo through the void in my mind, and my ears throbbed at the words "I'm here."I wanted him, my body was telling me so.It was so hot! I felt like I was burning!Yet at the same time, the rational part of my mind was desp
Enzo's hand came around my waist, and then he lifted me. Before I could react, he suddenly pushed my legs apart.I felt my cheeks burn.Enzo held my gaze for a few moments before he leaned in slowly.His hot breath brushed across my thighs, and I instinctively tried to pull away from him. But Enzo held me down close to him."Don't move," he ordered.Then I felt his warm, moist tongue on me, licking my folds.I gasped sharply as I felt his tongue circle my slit. Without warning, he suddenly took my clit in mouth, sucking hard on it and gently tugging it with his teeth."Ah!"I've never felt anything like this before! I could only tighten my grip on his hair as he continued.Enzo chuckled softly. The sound sends a shock through my body till it settles in my stomach."Does it feel good?" he asked.Enzo went back to licking at me more intensely without waiting for my response. Soon, I was drenched under his tongue.Enzo raised his eyes to look at me through his lashes, his golden-brown ey
"Are you awake?" Enzo asked as he walked out of the bathroom. He had a towel wrapped around his waist, water dripping from his naked body.I squinted and opened my mouth to speak, finding that my voice rough and hoarse, "How long has it been?"Enzo walked over to the bed and leaned down, placing his arms at my side. He planted soft kisses on my forehead. "It's been three days, babe."I lowered my eyes thoughtfully.So the only thing I did for the past three days was to mess around on the bed with Enzo in this room?The rational came back to my desire-clouded brain, and I couldn't help but sigh.My sigh was cut off abruptly by Enzo's sudden kiss. He licked my lips, fingers coming up to stroke the hair on my temples.He huffed after the kiss. "I know what you're overthinking this, but don’t be. You were meant to be mine. It was just a matter of time."I stared into his eyes, and he touched my lips again as though he was addicted. "Come on. It's time to get up."So he said, but he remain
I felt my swollen cheeks hit the hard rock as my body plunged into the sea. Icy cold water flowed into my nose and mouth, and I struggled instinctively. My limbs flailed as I tried to move to the surface. I could swim, so I could save myself, couldn't I?However, the waves were so violent, and it overwhelmed me easily, despite how much strength I had.It became harder to breathe. It felt like the air in my lungs was about to finish at any moment, and I couldn't draw enough air without getting more water in my nose and mouth.The pain from my wounds and suffocation ate away at me, causing my body to spasm.Was I going to die...?Just as I was about to fade out from consciousness, I heard a familiar voice shout, "Andrea!"Was that... Enzo?Was I hallucinating?I tried to keep my eyes open, but all I could see were blurs around me. For a moment, it felt like someone had wrapped their arms around my waist and...It was warm, despite the raging ice-cold sea water I was submerged in, and I
The car ride was bumpy, and my stomach lurched at the motions, but my limbs were still tied together, and I couldn't move.Lilla's eyes were red. "What should we do?""Don't worry... There's always a way."Lilla nodded nervously. "...Okay."The car came to an abrupt stop. After a few moments, I could smell the dampness and saltiness in the air.The sea! We were at the beachside!The back door opened, and Melissa coldly snorted, "Hmph! Alpha Enzo came just in time. Otherwise, you two would be dead by now. Well, that's fine anyway. Let's play another game!"Melissa smiled wildly. "Let's see how much your mate really loves you, hmm?"Max pulled both Lilla and me out of the car. It was pitch black around us, and I could hear the waves crashing like crazy. We were standing on a high reef, and if we jumped down from here, the waves would definitely swallow us up.Lilla was already sitting limply on the ground, so I forced myself to stay calm and asked, "What the hell is your plan?""Didn't
When I opened my eyes again, my surroundings were dark, and the smell of dampness and rust was in the air.I tried to move and realized with a jolt that my hands and feet were tired.A light suddenly came on.I squinted at the sudden onslaught of brightness and saw Melissa's face. I also noticed Lilla, who was unconscious beside me."Are you awake?" Melissa asked in a cold tone.I looked at Melissa with confusion swimming in my eyes. "Where are we?""A warehouse," Melissa replied bluntly."What the hell do you want?""Me?" Melissa said sarcastically. "Don't you already know what I want?"She suddenly pulled a dagger out of her pocket and cackled like a maniac. "Of course, it's to kill you! Also..."She suddenly pointed the tip of the knife at Lilla, and I was terrified."I know you hate and detest me! You can throw anything you want at me, but leave innocent people out of this!""Innocent?" Melissa laughed. "Seriously? You can only blame her for being your friend and stealing my man!"
"Lilla's birthday party?" I asked and put down the magazine in my hand. "Where will it be held?""At the top floor of Jasmine Hotel," Enzo replied. "Kyle has booked the entire floor, and it'll just be the few of us. We're still in the Blue River Pack, so we can't make it too grand.""Ah, that's a pity. She must be disappointed.""Not at all! I'm happy enough to spend my birthday with my best friends!"I turned to see Lilla kicking off her shoes before running towards me and jumping on me. Kyle and Seth were also back, following behind her quietly."You're almost eighteen. Why are you still acting like a child?" Kyle exasperatedly said as he straightened out her messed-up shoes. Lilla stuck out her tongue in response."Say, you can find your mate after your birthday. Did you think about what your plans are?" Kyle asked as he approached us.Lilla instantly tensed up, and her smile vanished. "Uh... I...""Are you still thinking about that bastard?"Kyle was obviously referring to Max, an
"Kill her."These words echoed in my ears like a curse. I gave Enzo a startled look and was silent for a long while."Are you scared?" He asked in a low and hoarse voice, covering my forehead with his palm.I shook my head. After a moment, I got up from his lap, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "You're joking, right?"Enzo didn't say anything in response."You must be kidding me!" I muttered to myself.He suddenly broke into a smile and said, "Fine, I was joking. I know that's not how you like to handle things."I savored the hidden implications of his words and once again discovered how different my old world was from Enzo. Perhaps in his view, it was a waste of time to look for evidence just to deal with this matter.But for me, he was willing to hide the cruel side of his personality.After staying silent for a while, I went back to today's events. "Did the masked man look familiar to you?"Enzo raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating he didn’t know, and I told him, "It wa
"Shit!" Alpha Michael cursed.He immediately ordered his men to chase after the man, but I knew the odds were against it.Even though it was just a quick glance, I recognized that man. It was Max. His ability to escape has always been superb, so I doubt Alpha Michael's men would be able to catch him.I glanced at Lilla beside me; sure enough, she was frozen in shock.When they got Gloria's cold body down from the tree, they found a suicide note in her pocket. It read:My dearest Alpha Michael, I'm sorry for betraying you. The child in my body was not yours, but my mate's. I lied that Luna Andrea pushed me down the stairs to cover up the truth, and I planned this all on my own to cover the truth. I thought I could keep lying, but my mate told me he was marrying another woman, and regretted everything I've done when I heard that. So, I chose to die to get rid of all my sins in one go. I'm sorry, and I pray for your happiness.GloriaHowever, the suicide note apparently wasn't enough to
"What do you plan to do? We don't have any evidence..." I said hesitantly.Enzo looked at me and raised his eyebrows slightly. "As long as a person is alive and can talk, there’s no shortage of evidence.""What do you mean?"Enzo was silent for a while before slowly saying, "Gloria's maid.""Huh? So, you want to get her to confess the truth?""Yes," Enzo said and nodded calmly."You may not be able to pry anything from her," I said with a frown. "Judging by Melissa's and Gloria's behavior today, there's a good chance they're plotting this together.""It's not that hard," Enzo said with an easy smile. "Everyone has a weakness. She won't be an exception."After speaking, he took out his phone and sent a text message. I couldn't help but ask, "Who did you contact?""Take a guess," Enzo said, winking at me."Someone that you know? I said, then added, "And a male?"Enzo laughed. "Are you jealous?"I glared at him. "You're reading too much into this.""It's my secret informant in Blue River
As it turned out, the liquid in the glass was indeed wine, and a certain amount of knockout drugs remained in it."How do you explain this?" Enzo asked with eyes cold.The scene was reversed once again, and the crowd was shocked."Oh my god, Melissa is lying!""I heard before that she's a vicious, cruel woman. It seems that it's true!"The hushed whispers of the crowd started up again, and yet..."Why should I need to explain anything?" Melissa suddenly sneered. She didn't panic at all, "I don't know how the drink in the glass became wine. The glass is in your hands, so you can say whatever you want about it naturally.""So you're saying we planned all this to frame you?" Lilla hissed, shaking with anger."I didn't say that," Melissa replied, then she looked at me pretending to be innocent, "Andrea, I would like to believe you didn't push Luna. It may be a misunderstanding, but..."Before continuing, she trailed off, choking up, "You can't unjustly accuse me just because you can't giv
When I next stepped into the conference room, I wasn't the Cold Moon Pack's Luna anymore, but the murderer who had pushed Gloria down the stairs instead.Although none of them dared to do anything to me, I could feel the burning resentment in the eyes of all the warriors present!In their minds, I was the murderer who had killed their heir.However, my mind was clear, so I did not need to cower in fear. My only regret was that the unborn child had died.So, I straightened my back and prepared to face the interrogation that was about to happen.'Don't be afraid, Andrea," Enzo said through mindlink as he sat beside me. 'Even if this matter can't be cleared up, I won't let anything happen to you.'I shook my head discreetly at him, gesturing for him not to do anything rash.'I want a clean name, Enzo. I'm your Luna. I can't carry a stain on my name, or it will become a stain on our pack.'As I said that, I turned to Alpha Michael, who was enraged. From what I could remember, Alpha Michae
