"What has happened? Where is my girl?" Cygnus asked Altair in a tone full of anger. How could he not? Altair had forcibly put him to sleep while he was waiting for Enne to arrive. When he woke up, Cygnus found himself in his study again without Enne.Altair took a deep breath. "Not now.""What do you mean? You ...." Cygnus did not continue his words."Yes, I injected the suppressant into her," Altair replied with a flat face, his gaze focused on the file on his workbench, but Cygnus knew very well that Altair's true state was in turmoil."You're crazy," Cygnus scolded. Suppressants were drugs Altair often took to suppress his hormones. All this time, Altair had believed in the prophecy about his fated mate. It was Altair's fault for marking Enne. Altair did not want to be rash by mating with Enne.Again, Altair could only let out a rough sigh. He was well aware that his rut cycle had become messy due to taking the suppres
In just the blink of an eye, Altair had arrived before Enne and Andhara, the man's sturdy arms already firmly gripping Andhara's neck with a deadly cold expression.Enne gasped of course, how could an ordinary human move that fast?"Take your hands off her." Altair warned again.Instead of obeying, Andhara's grip on Enne's hand tightened, eliciting a low groan from Enne's mouth as well as rousing the girl from her reverie.Hearing Enne's cries of pain, the look in Altair's eyes darkened, the Cygnus within Altair feeling an overwhelming rage. His grip on Andhara's neck was getting stronger which made Andhara start to struggle, but he also did not want to release his grip on Enne's wrist."She doesn't like you, to her, you're just a killer wolf she met on her first day coming to this village."Altair could hear the sound of Andhara's thoughts on him. It was annoying to see Andhara's exhausted face but the man still had time to say such a provocative sentence.Altair's grip on his hand g
"Isn't she showing off her body on purpose?" said the curly-haired man sitting around the table with his three friends while staring at the back of the girl in the blue apron who was struggling with her toast."Don't say that, she can hear you," said the blond-haired man."She's just a weird, arrogant girl." The stocky man chimed in."You're just mad because she wouldn't fight you yesterday," the tall man said to the curly-haired man.Enne could hear the whispers clearly, a bunch of boys her age had deliberately come to her mother's bakery and gossiped there, yes... gossiped about her.Without saying anything, Enne had already walked over to serve four cups of toast to the four boys and intended to return to the kitchen."Hey Aquila." The curly-haired man said Enne's first name.Enne turned her head, she didn't say anything but looked back at the man.The curly-haired man smiled mockingly. "What's the rush? You can stay with us for a while," the man said with a chuckle.His voice was
"I'm not allowed to leave until you eat your food," Jessica explained when she saw Enne just burying herself in the blanket with her back to her."Why are you so obedient to that pale guy? Go away and leave me alone here," Enne said without removing the blanket from her body."You know that a Gamma like me has no right to defy an Alpha."Enne, who was annoyed by Jessica's answer, poked her head out and turned to the butler."I hope this is just a bad dream. My purpose for coming here is not to become a werewolf, I want to live a normal life like everyone else, sometimes I also want to ignore my mind reading ability, but their words can always be heard and are so honest, I can't pretend not to hear them. I'm a freak, and now that pale one is making me even weirder." Unconsciously, Enne poured out her grievances.Jessica could see the look of sadness in Enne, she had already walked over and placed her food tray on the nightstand beside Enne's bed. "I know your sadness, but facing things
Enne was really desperate to smuggle herself into the trunk of the horse-drawn carriage. Yes, after Jessica left the Enne's room, Enne headed straight for the horse-drawn carriage that would transport Aaron and Stella to town. The two people left immediately after Devota went home and took over Aaron's duties in the village.There wasn't much conversation that Enne could catch, her body occasionally jolted as the horse-drawn carriage she was riding in hit the gravel or uneven road. Enne didn't know how long she had stayed in that position, an hour or more? But Enne immediately breathed a sigh of relief when the horse-drawn carriage stopped moving.Enne could hear the sound of Altair and Stella's feet getting off the horse-drawn carriage. After the situation was deemed safe, Enne immediately came out of her hiding place very carefully.Enne's body felt very cramped, curling up in a cramped place like a trunk for a long time made her joints need stretching, not to
Altair was about to speak up when he saw Stella suddenly enter the room and interrupt him. "They are ready, those people want to see you in person."Altair nodded slowly. Yes, his goal was to expand his business connections. Although Altair lived in the forest far away from the city, it was not impossible that the outside world would disturb his flock, with Altair establishing relations with the human world, at least they knew that Altair could be a powerful person and would not disturb his area.The proof was that even though Altair lived in the interior of the forest, he had many businesses in the capital city, such as the firearms business, nightclubs, and some famous shops, it was Madame Lyra who was Enne's grandmother who used to take care of Altair's human affairs, considering that Madame Lyra had lived in human civilization for a very long time.However, since Madame Lyra had to go somewhere, Altair was forced to step in, while he left the affairs in the village to Devota."Did
Enne was stunned. A golden brown wolf was approaching her. There was no fear at all, and Enne felt this strangeness.Normally a person would run away out of fear, or inch away in surprise at the arrival of such a beast, but not Enne, she kept staring at the wolf with dense fur approaching her.Enne didn't know if it was just a feeling or not, but the wolf's steps looked graceful. The wolf walked beautifully, leaving a trail in the snow."Finally we meet."That voice. Enne frowned, it was a familiar voice to her ears."Why the surprise? We've talked before. I've said it before; I am you and you are me."Enne didn't want to admit it, but the wolf was talking to her."You're ...." Enne's sentence trailed off. She remembered hearing that voice at Mrs. Lyra's house, the day she moved to her grandmother's village, before she and Altair officially met."Are you going to reject my presence? But seeing that you are not afraid at all, I feel that your curiosity is greater than your fear," the w
"Etienne?"Enne could faintly hear someone's voice calling his name."Are you okay?" the voice asked again.No, Enne knew that voice well, his head felt dizzy, especially when his sense of smell picked up the strong odor of cigarette smoke and alcohol."What hurts?" the person asked again when he saw Enne wincing while holding his head.That's right, there was no mistaking it, it was Altair."I'm fine," Enne finally said in a hoarse voice. The girl tried to remember what happened. Yes, she was still at Altair's club.Enne began to recall the time when she sneaked into Altair's carriage and then when she was about to go to her mother's residence but the unexpected happened. Enne also remembered when Altair came to save her, then they began to open up to each other and forgive each other, oh Enne remembered she had blamed Altair about the possibility of her turning into a werewolf was because of that man, Enne remembered everything, she even remembered when she met Melody and the others
The sound of small birds could be heard faintly from outside, giving the morning a peaceful atmosphere. Enne opened his eyes slowly, his eyelids feeling heavy. She tried to recognize her surroundings, but the room she was in was completely unfamiliar. The warm wooden walls with a small window in the corner gave a cozy feel, but also made him feel wary.Her body felt weak, and she realized there was an herbal scent enveloping this room. She tried to move, but her body seemed to refuse the command. Lynx, his wolf, still felt weak, though a little more alive than before.Enne's mind instantly recalled the battle she had witnessed last time-two giant wolves fighting in the middle of the snow. That white wolf... Altair. He was sure of it. Then the black wolf, Andhara. Why did she always get stuck in situations like this?Enne sighed softly, regretting his lack of caution. If only she had listened to Altair and not been so stubborn..."Altair will definitely be angry," she muttered softly.
The sky outside Purple Moon village was still gray, a sign that snow would fall again at any moment. Inside the warm healing room, the atmosphere remained tense even though the physical threat had passed. Altair stood by the window, his gaze blank through the misty glass. Enne lay unconscious, surrounded by the sharp yet soothing scent of herbs. Lynx, Enne's inner wolf, did not even make a sound.The healer was busy mixing herbs with quick but measured movements. Altair could only watch from a distance, his heart filled with an indefinable sense of anxiety.Andhara's name kept echoing in his mind, like a thorn piercing deep. Altair remembered the first time he faced Andhara. It was not a battle like tonight, but an encounter carefully designed by Andhara.At that time, Andhara deliberately provoked Altair to make the man almost pounce on him by turning into a wolf, unfortunately Enne was still there with them, it was the first time Enne saw Altair's transformation into a wolf, and of
Andhara was still silent.Lynx, who had long been silent due to his weakness, suddenly took over Enne's body. Golden light surrounded the girl's body, and in an instant, her body transformed into a beautiful golden brown wolf. The wolf instantly shot off at high speed, leaving the still shocked Andhara behind.'I know you're weak, Lynx,' Enne thought from inside her body. 'But thank you.'It's our job to survive, Enne,' Lynx replied in a determined tone.The cold wind and freezing snow were no obstacles. Lynx continued to run as fast as he could, crossing trees and jumping over roots hidden under the snow. However, behind him, the sound of heavy steps began to be heard.'He's chasing us,' Lynx said.Enne turned her head and saw Andhara in the form of a large, fearsome-looking black wolf, with fiery red eyes full of determination. She was getting closer, reducing the distance between them.***On the other side, Altair and Stella had arrived at a denser forest, where tall trees stood l
The snow that covered the forest created an atmosphere of piercing silence, only the roaring steps of Altair and Stella in wolf form could be heard. Altair, in his dashing white wolf form, led at the front with incredible speed. Stella followed closely, her gray wolf looking alert and full of concentration.Altair's mind whirled endlessly. The conversation before this trip kept haunting his mind.***"Altair, you have to trust Cygnus," Stella said as they talked in Stella's study. "If you and Enne are truly mates destined by the Moon Goddess, you have a bond with her. Use that to find her."Altair stared at Stella with a sharp gaze, her facial expression showing doubt. "That bond might not be strong enough. I've only marked it, and Enne... she hasn't even accepted Lynx's existence completely.""That's not important," Stella replied firmly. "You've already marked it. That's enough to start the bond between your inner wolves. You just need to ask Cygnus to search for Lynx's whereabouts.
The sun had just risen when Stella returned to the Purple Moon Pack with a triumphant expression. Her long black hair that was usually neatly arranged was now a little messy, and blood stains decorated her leather jacket. Behind her, several warriors from her pack followed with heavy steps, carrying the lifeless body of the rogue.Altair, who was waiting for Stella's news in the main hall, rose from his chair upon seeing his cousin. His eyes swept over Stella carefully, making sure she was unharmed."You're late," Altair said in a low tone. "What happened?"Stella pushed aside the strands of hair that fell on her face, then folded her arms across her chest. "That Rogue is harder to catch than I thought. She had incredible agility, but in the end she was outmatched by us.""And she died," Altair replied coldly.Stella nodded, not looking the least bit sorry. "He was too dangerous to be left alive. Besides, she didn't give us much information, except for one important thing.""What's th
The night air was cold when Enne opened his eyes slowly. He found himself in a room with simple wooden walls. Unlike the previous places that were dark and gloomy, this house looked ordinary, like a normal human home. A small wooden table, a simple sofa, and a fireplace in the corner of the room gave the impression of warmth, but Enne knew better than to let her guard down.The last thing Enne remembered was Andhara who was about to tackle her too, but Enne struggled until they almost fell, but at that moment, Andhara suddenly knocked her out until Enne didn't remember anything anymore.Enne reflexively held her neck, afraid that Andhara had really marked her, but she didn't feel anything like when Altair marked her first. Enne could only hope that Andhara didn't do anything to her while she was unconscious.In the end, Enne carefully observed her surroundings. There was no sign of the rogues or the person in the black hood that she had seen earlier. But Andhara-the man who had brough
Night crept in slowly, bringing with it a chill that pierced the skin. Under the full moonlight that bathed the forest in a silvery glow, two wolf figures galloped through the night mist. In front, Altair, a large white wolf with fur that glistened like snow, was traveling at full speed. Behind him, a slightly smaller gray wolf followed with regular breathing-that was Devota.Altair had not said a word since they left his territory. His heavy breathing sounded rhythmic with the long steps that broke the silence of the night. Devota, who usually didn't say much, knew very well that Altair was lost in his own thoughts. He could feel the worry and tension surrounding his leader."Alpha," Devota's voice sounded in his mind through their mental bond. "Are you sure you're leaving the search for Miss Etienne entirely to the warriors? What if they need you?""I have to do this, Devota," Altair replied in a firm tone, despite the slight uncertainty implied. "Etienne is in greater danger than w
Enne blinked her eyes, trying to adjust her vision to the dimly lit room. The pain in her wrists stung, and she soon realized her hands were tied to a cold wooden chair. Her breath caught as her eyes began to focus on who was in front of her.In front of her, stood Andhara with a cold yet meaningful gaze. The man who had always seemed mysterious now stood with a serious expression. However, that was not the thing that made Enne more uneasy. At the side of the room, six people with sharp eyes were watching her. Enne recognized them-they were the rogues who were previously captured and held in the Altair village prison.Enne felt her heart racing. They were the escaped rogues... and they were all here with Andhara, her guess was not off, this was clear evidence that Andhara was one of them.Suddenly, from the shadows in the corner of the room, a person appeared with a dark coat and a hood that covered most of his face. The mysterious figure walked up to Andhara, signaling the other rogu
Enne was still rooted to the spot. The word "Alpha" that came out from Lynx echoed in his mind. Alpha? Andhara was an Alpha? His mind instantly spun, remembering Devota who often called Altair with the same title. Isn't an Alpha the leader of a pack, the strongest and most respected? If so, was Andhara as strong as Altair?However, before Enne sank further into her confusion, Lynx's voice rang out again, softer this time, like a mentor about to explain something."Every wolf pack has an Alpha," Lynx said in her mind, his voice soothing, though Enne could sense a hint of worry behind it. "The Alpha is the leader of the pack, the most dominant and the most powerful. An Alpha can be male or female. Altair is the Alpha of your village, but he's not the only one in that position. His cousin, Stella, is the Alpha of another pack. However, since they have separate packs, there is no conflict between them."Enne tried to understand the explanation, although her mind was still shrouded in conf
