The bed was too cramped. So we huddled together, feeling each other’s warmth in such proximity.His arms wrapped around my waist, and his forehead pressed against mine.His unique scent surrounded me, so I barely noticed the unpleasant disinfectant smell in the hospital.I felt safe and soon fell back to sleep.***I checked out from the hospital the following afternoon.A werewolf's recovery ability was strong. The wound on my chest were mostly healed, leaving behind only a faint scar as proof of what had happened.The doctor told me that I was lucky the blow only grazed my heart. Otherwise, there’s no way I’d survive.I was fortunate, and I was grateful I stood in front of Enzo, as the attach might have hit Enzo in the heart.Of course, I wouldn't tell him that, otherwise he would lecture me again with a serious look about how much worry I had caused him.I looked out the window and was surprised to find that Enzo was not driving toward the villa."Where are we going? Aren't we goin
Bernhard spat at Enzo, with a look of disgust in his eyes.I suddenly recalled what Bernhard had said back at the execution platform.That he was initially in love with my mother, but Alpha Michael got in the way because Bernhard was a commoner and even broke his legs and kicked him out of the Pack.No wonder Bernhard hated Enzo so much, as Enzo was also an Alpha.Bernhard suddenly dashed towards me, dragging the shackles behind him. His eyes were bloodshot, with many wounds on his body."Andrea, he doesn’t really love you! You're just a marriage partner to him, a tool! Now that he knows you're a Rogue's daughter, do you think he'll still want you?"I trembled, and my legs went weak at that."Soon, he and his people will abandon you!" Bernhard said as he pointed at Enzo. "Just like how your mother abandoned me!"It felt like someone had taken a hammer and slammed it into my heart."My mother abandoned you?"I couldn't believe it. I thought they had separated because of Alpha Michael?
I was shocked. Wasn't this a crucial matter?!Enzo suddenly smiled. "My bad. I didn’t answer it properly."He cleared his throat and continued, "I admit it. That when I first approached, it was because of the mate bond. Your scent can easily soothe me. But..."That was simply the reason we met. The fate."Enzo stepped forward, reaching up to cup my cheeks with his big hands."We've been through so much together, and each time, it gave me a chance to know you better. I got to know your bravery, your stubbornness, your kindness... All of these have made me fall deep for you, Andrea. I can tell you now, with all my heart..."That I love you because you're you."This was hardly a good place to make such a statement.The lighting in the corridor was dim, and because it was connected to the dungeon, the smell of wet cement filled the air.But when Enzo took my face in his hands and confessed his feelings, all this unpleasantness suddenly vanished. Everything was perfect.The dim lights made
Enzo signaled with his eyes, so I withdrew the legs wrapped around his waist. Once he set me down, I knelt halfway to the ground.He threaded his long fingers into my hair and gently massaged my scalp.His fiery eyes casted down on me, and his other hand came to my lips, gently rubbing against them. "Now, unbuckle my belt, Andrea."At the same time, his fingers slipped into my mouth, thrusting them in rhythmically while playing with my tongue. I felt a familiar tingle in between my thighs as I begin to lick and suck his fingers.While his fingers were fucking my mouth, I focused on unbuckling his belt.With a "click", I opened the cold, metal buckle."And the button," Enzo urged, a heavy rasp in his voice.The zipper of his jeans slid down slightly after I popped the button, and my muddled mind urged me to pull down the zipper quickly."Go on... Baby..." He rasped. He tightened his grip on my hair as he sped up the moment of his fingers.Tears slid from my eyes at the forceful motions
Cindy's POV"You should kill that brutal Alpha of yours and then come to me. We’ll leave here together." In the dim dungeon, Cutter's voice rang in my ears.I clenched my fist, gritted my teeth, and said, "No. I won't betray my Pack. I promised Alpha. I swore to him."I swallowed the sour taste in my throat and continued, "I almost betrayed him at the border and told you our battle plan. He obviously grew suspicious towards me, but he still gave me a second chance. I can't...""You can't what? Betray him? He did you a little favor, and you gave him your life?!"Cutter approached me. His body was covered with scars, and the smell of blood filled the air. However, I could also smell a forest scent that belonged to him among everything else.He reached out his hand and squeezed my chin. "Don't forget that I'm your mate, Cindy! You belong to me, not him! Why do you always bring up that bloodthirsty murderer?!"I recalled back to the battlefield a few days ago.When I followed Alpha Enzo a
The moment she saw Enzo's black car, Cindy's eyes widened and she froze on the spot. The man called Cutter grabbed her hand and raced down the road.I was shocked beyond words. I gulped hard, then hurriedly mindlinked Kyle.After delivering Enzo's order, I got out of the car.Right at this moment, Enzo picked up a trash can on the side of the road and smacked it right into Cutter's back.Cutter stumbled forward; his wound ripped open. He clutched his ribs before falling to the ground.Enzo strode forward, instantly shifting his right hand into a wolf claw, and was about to sink it into Cutter's chest."No!"A heart-wrenching cry rang out, and Enzo's hand froze mid-air.Cindy stood in front of Cutter. A strong female warrior as she is, yet her eyes were currently rimmed red.Enzo lapsed into silent but didn't withdraw his wolf claws. Instead, he turned to Cindy and asked coldly, "Are you going to betray the Pack and me?""I-I'm not...""Then what are you doing right now? You're letting
Enzo's POVAndrea surprised me with her the speed of her reaction. When Cutter turned to attack her, my heart almost jump to my throat.But then my girl turned into a wolf and dodged the blow perfectly.Her wolf was so beautiful, with her fur glowing softly under the moonlight.When she jumped past me, it was like the moon fallen to Earth.I saw that Cutter wanted to lunge at Andrea again, and I sneered.Had he forgotten me? Did he really think I would let him attack my mate right in front of me again and again?!When he dashed toward Andrea, I dashed in between them. At the same time, Andrea launched herself on the car roof and ran away quickly, killing the odds of Cutter catching her and using her to threaten me.Drool leaked from the corner of Cutter's mouth, his eyes blood red. He let out a dangerous grunt before turning his attention to me once he saw that Andrea was out of his reach.He let out a desperate howl and lunged at me.I sneered. "How dare you."He might want to tear m
Enzo's POV A spasm of despair flitted across Cindy’s face. She asked in disbelief, "Did we really attack the Night Fang Pack?! Did we really rob them and rape their women?!" Before I could speak, Cindy became more agitated. "Impossible. I was never in that fight. It's impossible!" "Calm down. I didn't say that we attacked their Pack before." Cindy gave me a blank look. Just then, someone knocked the door. Kyle walked in with Cutter, who had been bandaged and given a change of clothes. "Cutter!" Cindy hurried to Cutter's side to look over his injuries. "Are you okay?" Cutter shook his head and replied, "I'm fine." "We could have explained ourselves. Why did you do that?" Cindy choked. "He simply didn't want to drag you into this," I said, interrupting the two of them. Cutter snorted coldly. He hadn’t recovered himself from our earlier fight yet, so he kept shooting me hostile looks. Leaving aside the non-existent hatred between us, it was perfectly natural for him to be hos
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
