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
Enzo's POVCutter eventually gave in."How do you intend to investigate?" He asked me."At least let me speak to this Ernest you keep bringing up.""Are you going to confront him?"I shook my head. "That's not a good idea. If he's really lying, then a straight-up confrontation would only tip him off.""What's your plan?""We'll investigate secretly. I'll need you to play along."Cutter frowned. "I don't understand.""It's simple. You'll pretend that Cindy rescued you, and you both ran away together. Kyle and I will disguise ourselves as Cindy's subordinates, and you'll take us back to your hideout. We need the culprits to expose themselves."Cutter clenched his fist as he considered my proposal. After a few minutes, he nodded. "Okay. But I have one condition."I frowned. "What's the condition?""I need a hostage.""A hostage?""Yes. How do I know this isn't just some trick of yours? What if I lead you to our hideout, and you turn around and kill all my people?"Cutter paused, turned f
We had to make sure that our act was convincing enough. So, we ended up deciding to stage a rescue of Cutter, since no one could guarantee that there wasn't a mole in our Pack.We chose to move at night. By the time we got Cutter out of the dungeon and across the border, the sky was already turning bright.After traveling for a while, we found a place beside water and took a short break.Enzo handed me some cookies and water. "Here, have something to eat."Kyle blinked. "Where's mine? What about me?""Didn't you bring your own?" Enzo shot back.Kyle pouted. "You're so biased. Even though Andrea is your Luna, I'm still your Beta, you know?"Frustrated, he turned around and caught the sight of Cindy and Cutter sharing food.Kyle silently turned his head away once more and muttered, "Why am I the only one single here?"After the short break, Enzo asked, "How far is it from your hideout?""About thirty minutes away now," Cutter replied.After walking through another forest, we arrived at
The girl had black hair, brown eyes, with delicate and beautiful features. She looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.Cindy's face instantly darkened. She stood with her arms folded across her chest and narrowed her eyes.Cutter didn't let her go. Instead, he patted the girl on the back and said, "Sorry to worry you.""It's okay. As long as you're alright, it's fine!" The girl said as tears streamed down her face."How long are you guys going to hug it out?" Cindy said coldly with raised eyebrows, an unfriendly look in her eyes.Only then did Cutter react. He held the girl's hand and turned around. "This is my cousin, Sheri.""Cousin?" Cindy and I said together."Yeah."The defensive look on Cindy's face faded, but...Sheri was stunned the second she released Cutter. She froze on the spot, her eyes twitched as if something was off. Then, she moved her nose and exclaimed in disbelief, "Mate?!"All her attention was on Kyle at this moment.Kyle shuddered and took a step ba
"Do you still think I'm lying to you?" Enzo asked as he glared at Cutter."...No, maybe it's just a coincidence." Cutter slumped down on a rock.I could feel Cutter growing suspicious towards Ernest, and he was gradually leaning towards us.However, forcing Cutter to doubt a man he'd always believed in would be cruel.I took Enzo's hand and said, "Give him some time to think about it."A few minutes later, Sheri returned with some dry bread and jam."Sorry. I've looked around, but I only found these for you," Sheri said with a shy smile."It's okay. It's good enough," I replied with a smile of my own. I took the food from Sheri and handed it over to everyone.As she passed Kyle the food, I pretended not to see the two extra slices of bacon in his share.When Sheri walked up to Cutter, he grabbed Sheri's hand and frowned. "Sheri, I need to ask you something. You have to be honest.""What is it?""Did Uncle Ernest say anything to you when I was away? Or was there anything unusual about
When Cutter offered to host a mating ceremony, his pack was delighted.However, hosting a party is not that simple. At least we need to get some beverages and alcohols from the market.Rogues couldn’t simply show up in public. It may cause chaos. So we ended up deciding that Cindy and I would do the shopping while Enzo and Kyle stayed to keep an eye on everyone else.I never thought I would one day be walking peacefully with Cindy and working hard for the same goal.After all, we started things on the wrong foot at first."Luna," Cindy suddenly called out."You can just call me by my name, Andrea," I said.Cindy smiled, then suddenly stopped. "I owe you a couple of words."I turned around to look at her. "What is it?""Thank you, and..." She pursed her lips. "... And sorry."Then, she shrugged and continued, "I mean... Thank you for doing this for me and Cutter, taking the risk of being here as I’ve always been so mean to you."If I were you, I would never be able to do these."I gave
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
