"Or to take revenge on those who snatched things from you?"Asher stared at me with a gaze filled with suggestions that perplexed me a bit.If it weren't for the lies I told about my relatives who seized my parents' properties after their deaths, I'd have believed that Asher knew something due to some of his mysterious actions.Although I wanted to ask Asher if he knew something, I was afraid that it would present me as a guilty person, which I'm trying to avoid, so I'd rather keep quiet and not arouse any suspicion.I leaned back indifferently and snorted at him while feigning calm, "You're sly. I can't beat you." I responded, and he chuckled in amusement as a response.Asher's lips curled slightly, and he moved back. "I can teach you..."My eyes lit up upon hearing Asher's words. If Asher agrees to teach me how to fight, that means I won't have to worry about how to increase my strength and build my fighting capability.Somehow, I felt that things were getting easily within my reach
"It hurts. It hurts so much." My eyes stung with unshed tears, and my voice emitted a shaky tone.I bit my lower lips hard due to pain.It wasn't just a minute later when the pain increased again. By now I couldn't help it anymore, and the tears I tried so hard to restrain began to stream down my cheeks.Everything hurts; my whole skin is hot, itchy, and peppers. It almost drives me crazy.Asher! How couldn't he have warned me of this? Ahhh!Before I could proceed with my thoughts, a scream emitted from my throat due to the sudden increase in pain.I clenched my fist hard and tried to prevent myself from accepting the decision to soak myself in the water to stop the pain.I tried to think of other things to get my mind off the pain, but unfortunately, I was unable to. All that pervaded my mind was how the gel-like mixture hurt so much.It hurts. It itches and burns so much.I gritted my teeth and tried to leave the bathroom in case I did something I regretted.My legs feel so weak, an
“Maia, right? You're assigned to class 9.” The secretary of the principal of the Power Axis Pack informed me while typing something on her laptop.She's a petite woman in her thirties. She's 5.4 feet tall, and she was dressed in a yellow suit and a skirt that fell below her knees. There was a large, rimmed glass on the bridge of her nose, and her black hair was packed in a messy bun.I had just completed my test. Yeah, you read that right—test.I never expected that I'd be taking a test before being assigned to school—silly me; I should've known that's how it goes.Besides, Wyatt didn't inform me I'd be taking a test before I could be admitted into school, or else I'd have read a few books after the whole skincare episode yesterday. Ugh!Thankfully, I do secretly read whenever I clean the Red Flame Pack library, or else I'll have become the first princess to fail a test in Wolf Clan history. On another note, it's good that I didn't read beforehand, or my actual level might never be kn
I can't help chortling at the greeting. A slut calling another slut. Hilarious! The kettle is calling a pot black. Not to mention the fact that I'm not even a pot.I sighed while wondering whether to give a response to Nancy, but, giving it a second thought, responding to all this stupid ridicule would make me fall to their level. Goddess forbid such.My lips curled in a faint smile, and I folded my arms while acting as if I didn't even know that I was the one their words were directed at. Let me just let them sink into their bubbles for now. I'm a newcomer; I shouldn't cause trouble on my first day of school.Thinking like this, I calmed down and decided not to pay attention to those fools. They'll stop once they realize that they're only making a mockery of themselves.Thinking about it now, studying with this group of people will be the best thing ever.“Bullying a new classmate as soon as she stepped into the class—Nancy, you really opened my eyes.” I was still immersed in my tho
"Our school has now descended so low that anyone of unknown background can come in now. I bet she must have slept her way through, though. Slut." One of the female students—I mean Lorelei's followers—tauntedHer lips were curled up provocatively as if she were daring me to do my worst like I had face-slapped them in the class earlier. Dressed in a white kimono, she held her phone and continued scrolling through it; almost every second, she'd raise her head to glare at me as if I were the creator of whatever nonsense she had just read on her phone.Most of the female students, who I presume are Lorelei's followers, and I are in the dressing room.I guess they planned to overwhelm me with numbers in case I tried to face-slap them again.However, I've promised myself that there must be a limit to replying to all these cannon folders, or else my level will degrade to their level, but this time I don't have the intent of letting this one go by.I folded my arms and eyed her nonchalantly. "
Lorelei stared at me with a gaze that showed bewilderment, surprise, curiosity, and a lot of other emotions I couldn't fathom, but the minute our eyes met, her expression turned cold, and she looked away quickly.What's wrong with her? Should I be glad that she was more curious instead of mocking me like the others?I rolled my eyes and held my waist with my hand before limping out of the dressing room. I came in here totally fine, only for an abnormal force, which I had never heard of, to crash into me, leaving me limping. Goddess, I need a massage.Following the flow of my classmates, I soon arrived at the large fighting field.There were other class 9 students dressed in their kimono doing warm-up.I glanced at everyone to see what warm-up to imitate. Soon I found one I think will be easier for a beginner like me to follow.Immediately, I began to stretch my hand, imitating throwing a punch in the air.I was about to throw the fourth punch when a girl laughed. She covered her lips
My legs were rooted to the floor as the water cascaded down to my feet. Different beautiful soap and lotion scents, which include hibiscus, lavender, milk, etc., pervade my nose. The pitter-patter of the shower filled my ears; its water was streaming down my whole body.It's hard to believe that I just had myself beaten up in a fight, and yes, many of the students had taunted me with it. No! I mean, it's now the most discussed topic in school right now.I understand that my strength is weak, but knowing I'm this weak is a stab in the heart. Ugh! I just had to lose to that…I ran my hand through my hair due to anger, and that messed up the bun hairstyle I styled earlier. Before I could process it, the hair fell down my back. Ugh.I just don't understand why everything was pointed out as if Lorelei had deliberately targeted me, or was it Oswald's plan? Did I fail the second trial? The more I thought, the more I felt uneasy. Ugh! I've never felt so distressed as I am currently… No! I ca
Due to my firm hold on the tray, the food didn't spill, and that made the girl snort at me.At that instant, I was filled with anger. Although I promised not to cause trouble on my first day of resumption, that doesn't mean I'll let people keep bullying me.I was about to face her when a loud bell reverberated in the whole cafeteria, or, should I say, the whole school, which got all of our attention.'A new announcement. The school board had made a new rule: from now on, all the students will live in the hostel. Also, students are only allowed to return on weekends. And this new rule applies to everyone, no matter their identity or status. Thank you.'After the voice repeated the announcement three times, it finally came to silence, and by now everyone was whispering to themselves. The hell! I clenched my fist hard to suppress the chaotic emotions that came after listening to the announcement.I had the inkling that that sly Alpha Oswald must've been the one to do these sorts of thin
Oswald’s eyes fell on Filippa, and a dazzling smile appeared on his face. The first time he came across her, she smiled so sweetly and introduced herself to him with that sweet voice of hers; that seemed to be the turning point in his life. Even when she has no strength to play with him, he’ll tug at her hair and do anything to get her attention. That’ll result in Filippa sulking and chiding him more and more while glaring at him, yet he prefers seeing her make a reaction than simply being indifferent to him. And when Oswald set his eyes on her years later after she was brought into the pack by Wyatt. Seeing her pitiful gaze, Oswald knew she was sad to see Lorelei at his side. At first, Oswald tries to push Filippa away while feigning his dislike to make Lorelei's annoyance decrease so she does not want to harm Filippa. Back then, Oswald had wanted to send her out of the pack until the coast was clear and then bring her back after he settled things. However, he never expected
THIRD POVThe Power Axis Pack ground was crowded with numerous people, which included members of the Power Axis Pack, the red flame pack, the vampire clan, the witch clan, and other packs of the werewolf clan. The atmosphere is sweet and exceptionally filled with joy. The moon glowed down and shine its light at the pack ground. At the epicenter of the pack-ground was a dais filled with ancient tunes that trailed down to when the pack was first createdOn the dais stood Filippa, in a breathtaking white off-shoulder ballroom lace dress that was crafted from the finest silk. It flowed over her hourglass figure and cascaded into a train that trailed behind her The dress hugged her body and accentuated Filippa’s hourglass figure perfectly. The bodice was adorned with intricate hand-embroidered lace, diamonds, expensive stones, etc., Her long hair was parked in a bun and a unique crown rested atop her hair. Her golden eyes shine as they stare at her impeccably handsome mates—her powe
“Stay still, Filippa.” Asher expressed with a helpless sigh yet still patiently helped me put on my shoes despite all my attempts to run out of the mansion with any opportunity I got.After our joint mating a few months ago, I ended up becoming pregnant with a quadruplet. Due to that, the alphas decided to speed up our wedding and make it early so I would be able to go through the day without being too tired. Since the wedding will take place in less than a month, the wedding preparation and everything has gotten into a rush. Even the parents who were on holiday had to return to help with the preparation. And Arya, who recently moved to the vampire pack with Quincy, had already returned. And this time, Arya was also a month pregnant.Over the months I have finally gotten out of my hole and healed my trauma due to my partner’s care, and now I have become familiar with and interact with everyone. Moreover, the red flame pack was settled next to the power axis pack, and I made sur
I watched Asher carefully arrange important necessities of mine and Zeirk's into a black luggage box. Seeing the typically playful Asher being exceptionally serious sent my heart racing due to nervousness and excitement. After a month spent attending to Oswald, Wyatt and Rex’s feelings, the time Asher proposed was finally up, and now I have to leave with Asher to his residence. Well, Asher claimed that my first time with my mates was spent in my mates’ choice of place, so he’ll also be doing the same, bringing me to his residence. Furthermore, we'll be spending a month there.I ran into Wyatt’s embrace and rested my head in his embrace while shedding pitiful crocodile tears. I bit my lower lip and blinked pitifully, “Hubby, you really don’t need me?” I clung to Wyatt’s cufflink and cried out dramatically. Wyatt leaned forward and whispered into my ear. “Filippa, you can't evade this.” He simply responded, his words meaning that the quicker I go with Asher, the quicker it takes to
I took a long and scented warm bath, applied my routine, and put on a silky gown that fell just below my buttock—the arm of the gown was strapless. I purposely tied my hair above my head to reveal my straight and smooth pale neck just like they always wanted. My lips subconsciously curved up in a sweet smile, and I hummed with delight. The guys will definitely love it. Suddenly, I heard car tires hiss against the asphalt as they eased to a stop.Even without checking, I knew my mates arrived at the same time. They must have held a conversation before returning to the alpha's mansion.I took a last look in the mirror, flashed myself a confident smile, picked up my pajamas jacket, and draped it over my short gown. Immediately, I made my way out of the room. Upon seeing me, Arya's eyes lit up, and she threw her thumbs up while dramatically exaggerating, “Whoa. I have seen you countless times, yet my mind still gets blown away by how breathtaking you are.” She confessed in a breathl
I squinted my eyes beautifully, exhaled, and lazily swung my legs, my body leaning into the sofa. Life like this is very sweet and leisurely. I must have been the most leisure Luna in history. I placed my hands on Zierk, raised him, and began to play with him while smacking playful kisses on his cheeks. Since two weeks ago, after the fight with Lorelei and the witch tribe, my mates and the whole tribe have been extremely busy. Right now, the fight between the witch clan, vampire clan, and werewolf clan has come to an end, and the tribes have now become one.Due to this, Rex had to return to the vampire tribe to make proper arrangements on his own part. After the fight, Wyatt returned to the witch clan with their members and took charge of cleaning the witch clan and assigning a capable person as their king. For years while Conan and Lorelei were in charge of the clan, all sorts of corruption had run rampant over the tribe. Wyatt was the one to oversee the punishment and made
Upon seeing me stop my actions, my parents exhaled in relief and cried out in response, “Baby, we missed you.” They confessed in a voice filled with exceptional longing. I sniffed, still stunned so much that I couldn’t move a foot. “I thought you were dead. I. How were you alive? Why haven’t you come to see me all this time? Do you know how miserable I was? I was very miserable.” I confessed and let the tears slip past my eyes, watching every one of my parent’s actions. My parent's eyes landed on Lorelei’s figure behind me, and they began to approach me while responding, “That Miss over there saved us. She had been the one taking care of us all this time. Please let her go, and we can leave to enjoy our life again. Don’t you always want to become our princess? We’ll let you be. From now on, it’ll just be us: you, your mom, and I…” They whispered in that soft and gentle tone that unconsciously made me stay rooted in my feet and made my heart surge with emotions. Upon hearing what
Immediately, the air formed into an invisible, thin, long, sharp, spear-like object that darted toward me with accurate and lethal precision. I snorted and quickly extended my hands to draw a circle in front of me; the circle became a gaping hole that took in the flying spear-like objects before closing. I stretched my hands and pointed my fingers at Lorelei. A hurricane immediately formed in front of Lorelei, the hurricane tempest alternating with freezing coldness and burning fire. The hurricane immediately swallowed Lorelei up, and it was only after a few minutes that she was able to break out. Lorelei's whole person was now unruly and her hair was completely tousled I smirked upon realizing something. Although Lorelei wanted to hide it, she was vividly hurt by Rex's actions.Even though she had already produced another wrist, it was actually fake, and she hadn't managed to grasp using the wrist well.Moreover, Rex had used ancient power to take her down. There's a high chan
Zierk’s tears coupled with the trio’s roars seemed to touch something in me. I began to feel the chaotic power force dwindling and merging at a fast rate. The blood on my skin stopped flowing and dried out. I began to heal, and my rationality began to slip back. Different experiences and histories run through my mind. I have successfully overcome Lorelei’s plan!“Wyatt. Oswald, Asher. You can't.” I roared loudly and stood up. The power overflowing me was so much that I let out a lethal and feral growl that resounded and shook the power axis pack uncontrollably. It was after letting it out three times that I calmed down a bit. My eyes fell on Lorelei, who was stunned about how things could change so fast. I sneered coldly. “Isn't it bad for a senior generation to bully the young ones? You are truly pathetic.” I sneered coldly. I focused on myself, and I discovered that the four powers had become one. I have finally become one with my mate. My strength heightened, my vision s
