Alpha Matthew held back his anger as he asked Holly once again, “Why did you come to the Ethereal Hunters and ruin everything?”

“You’re curious about my reasons, but you’re not curious about history, are you? Why don’t you dig deeper?” Holly retorted.

Alpha Matthew growled, “Throwing around the word ‘history’ to defend yourself. Do you have any sense of history at all, Holly? You’re clearly not a werewolf.”

Holly responded with emotion on her face, “Who calls themselves a werewolf? We’re not werewolves, but we were the first to discover this place before the werewolves came and ruined everything.”

Alpha Matthew narrowed his eyes as he listened to Holly’s words. “What are you trying to say?” he asked in a low and dangerous voice.

Holly laughed bitterly. “I’m saying that the werewolves have no right to be here. This land belonged to our kind long before your kind ever set foot on it.”

“That’s ridiculous,” Alpha Matthew snarled. “This land belongs to no one. It’s a free territory for all

    "W-What? Holly's dead?" Hannah stammered, shocked by the news."Yes, she was shot by Agent Kim," I whispered."Why did he shoot her?" Hannah asked, her voice trembling."Holly refused to answer our questions, Hannah. I believe she was trying to hide something," I explained briefly."What could she have been trying to hide?" Hannah's face was now filled with confusion.I took a deep breath and ruffled Violet's hair, who was also listening to our conversation."Sweetheart, why don't you go play with your brothers?" I suggested with a smile."But, mum-""Take them to have some of the chocolate truffles Uncle Charlotte gave you last week," I added."Well, I'm going to finish them tonight." Violet immediately ran away from us."I'm still curious about why Holly was hiding her reasons, even until her death," Hannah murmured."We don't understand Holly's intentions either, Hannah. Jamien and Agent Kim are still examining her in the lab. I hope this isn't related to anything else," I said, fo

    “Good morning, I didn’t expect you all to leave so early today,” Agent Kim greeted as he saw us in the main lobby.“Well, this morning snow was quite surprising,” Alpha Matthew chuckled.“Did you let the children play in the pouring snow?” Agent Kim asked.“Well, of course. They were very enthusiastic about it,” I replied.Agent Kim chuckled before handing us each a sheet of paper. “This is a report I obtained from some neighbouring packs, as well as from border patrol guards.”“Are these reports legitimate?” Alpha Matthew inquired.“Of course, they are, Alpha Matthew.”“Wait, why is it only the Ethereal Hunters’ territory that is shrouded in mist?” I asked, sensing something amiss with the black dots on the map.“That’s what worries me, especially if the children are playing under a snowstorm. I’m not sure if it’s a genuine snowfall or due to Holly’s actions,” I replied.“Oh, bloody hell. Isn’t snow supposed to be natural?” Alpha Matthew sighed and handed the map back to Agent Kim.“

    “Where did he go, dear?” Dad asked me.“I don’t know, dad,” I replied absentmindedly, as I truly had no idea where Alpha Matthew went after instructing us to stay home.It had been two hours since he left. Suddenly, as we all waited anxiously, the doorbell rang. Mark ran to open the door. “Am I interrupting?” I was sure it was Troy’s voice. “Come in, it’s dangerous out there,” muttered Mark. They entered and approached us.“Hey, I’ve noticed that the snow has suddenly started falling,” Troy said.“That’s right, it’s snowing all of a sudden. Is there a problem?” Dad nodded.“To be honest, there have been many problems lately,” Troy said while shaking off the snow from his cloak.He then showed the withered and bluish plants without any reason.“Ever since you captured Holly and those rats, all the vegetables in our field have turned out like this,” Troy explained.“Is everything destroyed without any apparent reason?” Mark asked.“Exactly, it’s all ruined without any clear cause.

    “Make her a hot drink first,” Alpha Matthew asserted in a hushed tone.I offered a warm drink to the unexpected visitor.After giving the girl some tea, Alpha Matthew asked, “Which school do you attend, Everly? And why did you get lost here? This is the outermost part of the Academy.”“Um… I took the most direct route through the forest,” she murmured.“Strange. Do you remember where your home is?” Hannah asked.Mark was listening in on our conversation.“Are you being honest with your testimony?” I asked, feeling suspicious. “Guards outside, won't they understand?”“Mate, calm down. Don’t be so rough with the kids,” Alpha Matthew whispered.“Actually, she’s not a child,” I snapped.“Be gentle, can’t have it both ways, can we?” Alpha Matthew rose from his seat.Dad and Mum, who heard the commotion, woke up and came over to us.“What’s happening? Why are you still awake at this late hour?” Dad inquired.“There’s a mysterious girl who strayed all the way here, Dad.” I replied.Dad glanc

    “Have you discovered an alternate route?”“Not yet,” Alpha Matthew chimed in.I didn’t take a shower, but immediately followed Alpha Matthew to meet the guest who had come to the house that morning.Meanwhile, I noticed that Everly remained in the house. She was assisting Hannah with watering the roses I had planted in the side yard.“Well, it seems you’ll need to experiment with a few methods. We attempted to use Kyle’s blood before, but it only yielded partial success.” Murmured the man with pale skin.“Is Kyle your son?” Alpha Matthew asked.“Yes. He’s our son,” his beautiful wife whispered.I assumed she hailed from the Elven realm from her striking silver locks.“Oh yes. What prompted you to discover that Holly instigated the riot here?” the man inquired.“I already told you, Theophile. My wife possesses the acute instincts of a female werewolf.”“Every woman possesses stronger instincts than a man,” Theophile chuckled and flashed a smile“We were grateful when you caught Holly,”

    Gasping for breath, I looked up to see Alpha Matthew standing before me.“Have you locked up Everly? Have you treated Hannah’s wounds?” I asked urgently.Alpha Matthew looked at me in confusion. “Was Hannah injured?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.“Yes, Everly bit her when you and Theophile went to look for that magic dust,” I explained.Alpha Matthew chuckled and then rubbed my head affectionately. “Everly never hurt someone. You’re just having a bad dream,” he said.“But I was sure of what I said,” I insisted.“Mate, you’re just having a nightmare. Everly never bit Hannah at all,” Alpha Matthew reassured me.A furrow formed on my forehead as I struggled to shake off the lingering feeling of awkwardness.Could it be a dream? If it were, why did it feel so vividly real?My neck still tingled with numbness from the sensation of strangulation that I just experienced.“Why do you suspect Everly so much, and how did you even know we were going to look for magic dust?” Alpha Matthew’s pierc

What’s the topic of discussion?” I asked, curious.“Something juicy for the future,” Lavelle teased.“Ooh, now you’ve got me intrigued,” I said with a smirk.“Hey, what are you guys talking about?” Alpha Matthew chimed in.“Just some top secret stuff,” Lavelle said with a wink.“Count me in,” Alpha Matthew said, eager to join in on the fun.“Yo, let ‘em gossip. Let’s go chat with your dude,” Theophile said to Alpha Matthew.“Uh, that’s my right-hand man, man,” Alpha Matthew grumbled.Then they dipped, leaving me and Lavelle behind in the cemetery.“Alright, what’s the big news?” I asked as Lavelle whipped something out of her pocket and shoved it into my hand.“What’s this thingamajig?” I questioned.“Lav, what’s this magic dust you’re talking about?” I asked, intrigued.“It’s the stuff that can dissolve Holly’s body,

    “What’s up?” I asked nervously.“Looks like Randy’s throwing another fit. He’s been going crazy lately,” the prof whispered. “Does the big bad Alpha have a bit of a temper, huh? Does he like to smash things?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.Alpha Matthew tightened his grip on my arm, but I could see a hint of amusement in his eyes.The Professor let out a deep sigh. “Luna Lauryn, he’s not himself at the moment. I believe he needs time to heal, and sometimes, venting his emotions through rage is how he copes.”The Professor swung the door wide open. And there we found Randy struggling to pry open a shiny silver cage. “Growl!” he snarled at us. “Yo buddy, chow time!” The Professor poured some liquid into a bowl and presented it to Randy. But the sensitive creature wasn’t having it, and he started clawing at the Professor’s arm.“Randy, seriously? Not cool,” I said, trying to contain my irritation. “Don’t worry, I’ll patch myself up first,” the professor replied calmly. “But--“ “List

    "What on earth are you doing!" I grumbled this time."Oops! I'm sorry, Mum. It seems to be a technical mishap," Violet replied, quickly covering her own mouth in fear.I wiped the greasy cream off my face, which now felt excessively oily due to the explosion. The aroma of curry only made me feel queasier."Are you alright, Mum?" Violet asked, concerned."I'll be fine as long as you stop causing chaos," I growled."I won't cause any more chaos," Violet muttered."Why do you seem more and more like Kylo?" I questioned."Maybe I'm destined to be like him," Violet said before darting away."Hey!""Leave it be, she's going through puberty. She's done a lot in just one week," Alpha Matthew intervened."It's only been five years, and yet everything feels so complicated," I sighed."Indeed, time has a way of presenting us with unforeseen challenges," Alpha Matthew agreed."Seems like our little Violet is becoming quite the character," he added, a hint of amusement in his voice."Yes, indeed.

    "How dare you tell me to wake up? Who do you think you are, huh?" I voiced my frustration."Didn't I already mention that I can be sent and play along with human assumptions?" Violet replied."You--""You were sound asleep after basking under the Flower Moon. Don't you know that your energy could go to waste? Get to work and earn your blessings," she grumbled.Suddenly, a firm grip made me wince in pain.I opened my eyes to find Violet biting down on my right arm."What on earth are you doing?" I gritted my teeth."You're so difficult to wake up, Mum," she replied matter-of-factly.I couldn't help but chuckle at her determination. "Well, I should be grateful for your unconventional alarm clock."Violet released her hold, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "You're welcome, Mum."As I rubbed my arm, a mix of pain and amusement filled my heart. Parenting certainly had its unexpected moments, and Violet's unique ways of rousing me from slumber were a testament to that.With a n

    "Grr!" Charlotte growled.It was the first time I had seen Charlotte's wolf form, resembling more of a Himalayan fox."Well, this is quite an entertaining transformation, grr!" Jamien chuckled."Thanks to the brilliant glow of the Flower Moonlight, I feel blessed," Charlotte giggled."GRR!""Who's that?" I asked, bewildered."Perhaps there are other guards undergoing transformations too," Alpha Matthew murmured."It's me, you dolt!""But it sounds like Troy's voice," Alpha Matthew mused."Seems like you're not the brightest wolf either, Matthew. Being a werewolf should make you hear my telepathy," Troy grumbled."Oh! It's a mindlink!" Charlotte squealed.As the realization dawned upon us, we were caught in a blend of astonishment and amusement. The unexpected turn of events added a thrilling twist to the evening, and we couldn't help but embrace the enchantment that surrounded us."Let's enjoy this newfound connection, shall we?" I suggested a mischievous glint in my eyes.Alpha Matth

    "I had fun with Violet," Kylo responded."But that's not how you have fun," Kate argued.Kylo lowered his head, seeking our forgiveness. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble this morning. I know everything I did was a big mistake, but believe me, I did it because I wanted you to remember me.""What do you mean, little one?" Alpha Matthew raised an eyebrow."I won't come here again after this because I have to train continuously and think about the future of my Pack," Kylo explained."Are you not going to visit anymore?" Violet interjected. "What about our plans to experiment?""You can experiment on your own, Vio," Kylo replied."I'm too young to experiment without the supervision of someone more experienced," Violet replied."Wait for me until we're both grown up," Kylo confidently answered."But we're werewolves, right?" Violet asked."Well, we are werewolves.""What if we don't meet again after we grow up?" Violet questioned."Don't worry. We will meet again. Let's make a promise in

    After the stranger had left, I remained lost in my thoughts for quite some time before finally snapping back to reality and making my way home. As I exited the car, I found Alpha Matthew waiting on the front porch, sipping on a glass of wine that seemed to have materialised from thin air."You look rather sad, my dear. Are you still upset about the roses mishap?" he inquired, his voice filled with concern."Not really. It's just that the car broke down, and it infuriated me. I had to pull over on the side of the road, and luckily, a peculiar stranger was kind enough to help me. If I had called you, I probably would have been stuck in the car for two hours because you never answered your phone," I grumbled, voicing my frustration."Oh, my poor soulmate. But you're alright, aren't you? No unwanted injuries, I hope?" Alpha Matthew set down his glass and proceeded to examine my body, making sure I was unharmed."I experienced a car breakdown, not a robbery," I retorted, rolling my eyes.A

    "Why the bloody hell are you here, you little rascal?" Jake bellowed as he yanked the sheep toys out of the swimming pool, clearly annoyed.Alpha Matthew clenched his fists, feeling the anger rise within him, but he bit his tongue, unable to respond.I mumbled to myself, searching for Kylo. "Where in the world is that darn kid?""Mummy! What are you doing over there? Do you fancy a swim on this freezing morning?" Violet shouted as she shuffled over, clutching her milk bottle. "Ouch! Sheep! I want to take a bite!""Violet, have you finished your toast?" I attempted to change the subject, hoping to steer the conversation away from the chaotic scene."I'm all done with my toast, Mum," Violet replied, her tiny voice filled with determination."Then go and put on your school uniform, love. You'll be late if you keep lingering here," I said, gently urging her to move along.As Violet hurried off to get ready for school, I couldn't help but feel a sense of exhaustion.

    "Where did Judith go? Why didn't she tell us first?" Alpha Matthew asked. "She just picked up Mum and Dad. Nothing suspicious. We're not likely to do anything untoward here." Kylo replied."So, when are you going to replace my favourite flowers?" I interrupted their conversation. "Soon, Madame. I'll discuss it together with Mum. You'll have the pleasure of making Mum's acquaintance. She's a lovely person," Kylo said.I rolled my eyes lazily at this boring topic of conversation. I sighed and quickly approached Dad."Never mind, you better be patient. Kids are so wild sometimes. You have to understand that." Dad mumbled. "I'm always patient, Dad. But sometimes patience has its limits, doesn't it?" I sneered. Dad chuckled and then gently hit my shoulder. "Kylo put the lamb down. Go back home or go rest. Troy willed the lambs at 8," Dad said. "Matthew, it's better to put on your clothes than catch a cold. The air is so cold this morning that it makes anyone shiver." "Right, it's col

    “What happened? Why do we need motels all of a sudden?” Judith asked. "Daddy said we need a motel. Shouldn't we be staying at a motel?" Kylo asked. "You don't need a motel, though, and we provided a house especially for guests," Alpha Matthew said. "But we have a lot of members," Kylo said. "Don't worry about it. You know Ethereal Hunters Pack has many members, and it's over 100.000 werewolves,” Mark added. “The room won’t run out because your pack member is too much.” “I don't even understand why my dad told me we need a motel,” Kylo mumbled. “Just tell him that you'd be able to use Ethereal Hunters facilities,” Mark said. “Little Master, I'll reach out to the big master about it,” Judith said. “Well, thanks a bunch, Judith. I appreciate your help,” Kylo mumbled, following Violet to the backyard.“I'm so sorry, Alpha Matthew. I bothered you so much." Judith bowed. "It's okay. Drop it," Alpha Matthew shook his head and raised her glass. We got into a light conversation with

    “Ah... It was an invitation for a banquet a day after tomorrow,” Alpha Matthew explained. “How did you know their pack name?” I asked. “Theophile told me they were Scarlet Moon Pack,” Alpha Matthew said. “Interesting, but you never tell me about it," I said. "It's a rush thing, I told you yesterday. Maybe you forgot it," Alpha Matthew said. "Ugh... I have a lot to think about. Maybe I forgot about it," I whispered."Who are you?” Alpha Matthew asked. “Judith.” “Have a seat,” Dad said. Judith sits awkwardly but plays it cool. “Where is your Master?” Alpha Matthew asked. “They'll be here the day before tomorrow. He will be here with Mr Theophile and his wife and a few other packs." "Matthew, why did you hold another banquet after the big banquet?" Dad asked Alpha Matthew. Mark looked so curious but still enjoyed his dinner. A few seconds later, he said, “It's an alliance meeting?” “Yes, it is. Yes, it was a meeting for the alliance." Alpha Matthew confirmed it. "Why are yo
