Aaron’s POVMy heart was heavy.I was in distress since I vowed to Abuela that I would never fall in love with my mate. That’s why even if I heard that Dr. Griffin healed my mate, I couldn’t bring myself to check her.‘Because if I see her face, I feel like I might betray Abuela.’ Knock. Knock.A soft knock echoed through the walls of my office, drawing my attention to the door. I shifted my gaze towards it.“It’s me, Beta Jasfer.”“Come in.”Beta Jasfer came in and gave me his report, “Greeting. I came here to inform you about the upcoming coronation ceremony in the Star Moon Pack.”When I heard the name of the Pack, my face contorted."Although I know you don't want to witness their Alpha heir ascend to the Alpha position, you must come, Lycan Aaron," Beta Jasfer reminded me.I let out a frustrated sigh, my grip on the pen tightening until it snapped in my hand. "I can't believe I have to attend the coronation of my prisoner's boyfriend," I grumbled.Jasfer noticed the broken pen a
Olive’s POV It’s final. I won’t be able to attend Vincent’s coronation ceremony.In fact, asking Aaron to take me to the ceremony was like punching an air. I was well aware that it was an impossible request. Yet, in recent days, he had exhibited a lesser degree of anger and violence. This gave rise to a false hope within me that perhaps, just perhaps, he would approve to my desire to witness my beloved Alpha's coronation. Alas, my efforts were in vain.Crying for a long time, and my eyes went soggy. I didn’t know how much time passed, and only when I got out of the castle, I realized that I was late for work."Abuela will undoubtedly be furious," I murmured, quickening my steps in a desperate attempt to make up for lost time. Abandoning my emotional turmoil and jumbled thoughts, I pressed on until I reached the solace of the garden.Even if Abuela torments me, working in the garden lessens my stress. And I really hope that will be the case today. Not until…“Audacious!” Abuela shoute
Aaron’s POVThe day of Vincent's Alpha coronation ceremony had finally arrived.I sat in the back seat of my car, unable to shake the memory of my mate's crestfallen expression when I forbade her from accompanying me to the event. Despite her disappointment, I knew it was for the best."She would only suffer more once she learned of her boyfriend’s betrayal," I muttered to myself, though the words held little conviction. If I truly despised my captive, I would have taken more drastic measures to ruin her life.“Haa.”With a heavy sigh, I ran my fingers through my perfectly groomed hair. “My captive should be grateful for my mercy.”Soon enough, I arrived at the Star Moon Pack, where the ceremony would be held in a grand hall. It was impressive but paled in comparison to the grandeur of my own castle.“Not bad,” I dropped a mockery compliment as I walked inside the hall.As I strode into the hall, every gaze fixated upon me.The countenances of the werewolves betrayed their fear, a cle
Griffin’s POVWhile waiting for Olive to finish preparing, I received a call from my lackey.[“Lycan Griffin, we found information about Olive’s grandmother. We will send you the address.”]“Good. I’ll visit him after attending the ceremony.” I spoke before hanging up the call. At the same time, Olive emerged from her room, adorned in the exquisite dress that I had thoughtfully selected for her.The garment, a delicate shade of peach, harmoniously complemented her ethereal fair complexion, enhancing her natural radiance.Her dark hair, usually styled in an elegant updo, flowed freely down her back like a starry night sky.A subtle touch of makeup graced her flawless visage, accentuating her captivating features. Despite her tender age of seventeen, the silhouette of the dress gracefully embraced the maturity of her physique, exuding an air of sophistication and poise.‘She grew up so beautiful. And she seemed tasty too,’ My wolf, Chaylen, couldn't resist making a snide remark. But I r
Olive’s POV[“Thank you for taking the blame for me, Olive. I promise to take care of your grandmother. Just bear a little longer, okay? We need to save our Pack from that dangerous Lycan. You are my only hope. And don’t worry. Once you get out of the prison, then I will get you back. We will get married, and you will be my Luna. That’s my vow.”]On the premise of protecting the pack and my grandmother, I took the blame for Vincent’s murder. And I held onto that promise of his that someday, we would be together. However, in just a night, I felt a huge part of me died. It was like someone sucked all the air in my body.I went from being supremely happy to see him again to shocked silence after knowing that he had found his mate and he called me “useless.”Wow. Just wow.I was betrayed by the person I trusted and planned my whole life with.I couldn’t believe, couldn’t accept that this was the person I loved.It crushed me multiple times. The pain, the disappointment, the disbelief. I
Olive’s POV Ever since my grandmother lost her ability to shift into her wolf form, she got sick and reduced to a frail and helpless state. I knew that I had to be there for her. Thus, I made it my mission to take care of her and ensure that she was never alone. Just like what she did to me when I was young. Therefore, Vincent and I got into that accident. I knew that things were going to change. I took the blame for his crime, hoping that he would repay me by taking care of my grandmother. She needed someone to look after her, someone who could provide the support and care that she needed to survive. But that man, that bastard, he left my grandma alone! “Grandma! Open your eyes! Grandma!” I cried out loud. Inside a cluttered and dimly lit small house, my heart sank at the sight of my frail grandmother lying on the floor. Her thin figure spoke volumes as if she had been deprived of nourishment for days on end. "Please, Grandma. Look at me. I've returned, so please..." Cradling
Olive’s POVMy name, “Olive,” was given to me by my Grandmother. She said it’s the short term for saying “I love you.”Learning Vincent’s betrayal, I realized that Grandma was the only person who loved me. Therefore, with all my heart, I looked up and prayed to the Goddess of the Moon.‘Please. Don’t take away the only person who loves me.’ Just then, a voice broke into my thoughts.“Olive.”I looked up, taken aback to see Aaron standing near me. And he was the one who called me in my name. Yes. This was the first time I ever heard my name slipping from his mouth. I was rendered unable to fathom if I was hearing him right. However, Aaron broke my doubt as he repeated calling me.“Olive.”At the time, the wall I had built inside me had collapsed. I cried as I replied, “Lycan Aaron. I am scared.”Aaron sat beside me. And the next he did? He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly. It was an odd feeling for me. This guy was the man who tormented me, and yet, I also found solace
Griffin’s POV Olive’s grandmother died in the Pack’s hospital. With the help of Aaron’s servants, a burial was prepared for the old lady. As for Olive, she was nowhere to be seen around the room of her dead grandmother. I looked around the hospital, following her scent. And then, I saw her on the rooftop. She was sitting on the ground, under the moonlight. She’s looking at the moon with her unblinking, swollen eyes. I clenched my fists while staring at her. I made a promise when we were young that I would be the greatest doctor so I could save her grandmother. But it was too late. I couldn’t save her happiness. But this is not the time to blame myself. She needed someone by her side, and that should be… me. I walked closer to her and sat beside her. She slightly turned her eyes to my side, but she didn’t directly peer straight into my direction. "I've been searching for you. I never anticipated finding you up here on the rooftop. You despise heights," I remarked, gazing up at t
Olive’s POV The night of the mating ceremony. Vera’s death. Being Aaron’s prisoner. Suffering in his castle. Finding out Vincent’s betrayal. Losing my Grandmother. Loving Aaron. Marrying him. My lost memories. Being fooled by Griffin. Finding out my memories. And marrying Aaron again. Years have passed since my life took a complete 180-degree turn, transitioning from a captive to becoming the beloved of my redemption. As I reflected on that chapter of my life, a wave of emotions washed over me. “Mum! Come and see! I found the most beautiful caterpillar!” I shift my gaze towards the source of the voice, spotting an adorable little boy sprinting towards me. With his jet-black hair, round eyes, rosy cheeks, and vibrant red lips, it’s evident that he takes after his father, Aaron, the Alpha Lycan of the Silver Moon Pack. This charming child is none other than Arve, my firstborn. “Oh my, Arve, that looks absolutely adorable,” I exclaimed, unable to contain my laughter. “But
Olive’s POV “Aaron is fine,” Griffin shared the good news. Hearing that, my knees gave in, and I fell, sitting on the bench near Aaron’s hospital room. Anna sat beside me and patted my back. Meanwhile, Asmund asked Griffin, “Was he really poisoned?” I looked up at Griffin and listened to his answer. “Yes. It seemed he took the poison before the fight. Fortunately, he was strong. If he had been a little bit late, the poison might have taken his life. And…” Griffin couldn’t continue his words as Asmund grabbed his collar. “YOU SH*T. ARE YOU F*CKING SURE THAT YOU WEREN’T INTO IT? You were so desperate to win this fight and steal Olive once again. I wouldn’t doubt that you planned this with the Elders.” However, Anna disagreed, “I don’t think so.” Everyone’s gazes turned to Anna. She stood up and explained, “Look at him right now, Asmund.” Asmund let go of Griffin’s collar and observed his situation. He was wounded, and some parts of his body were bleeding. “He wasn’t
Olive’s POV In my room, I paced back and forth, anxiously waiting for news of the battle. It seemed like neither side had suffered any casualties yet. I pondered, “What should I do to put an end to this fight?” As I thought deeper, an idea struck me - I could hurt myself. “If I pretend to be injured, maybe they will stop fighting,” I mused. I scanned my room for something I could use, but the servants had removed all sharp objects after I had used a vase to harm myself. “Maybe I can break a hanger and use it,” I thought, quickly opening a cabinet. Without wasting a moment, I swiftly opened a cabinet, aware that time was of the essence. As I scanned the contents of the cabinet, my attention was drawn to a mysterious box nestled inside. Curiosity piqued, I couldn’t help but wonder what purpose the box served. Acting on instinct, I reached out and slowly opened it, revealing a torn white dress that had been meticulously sewn. My mind raced as I recognized the dress. “This is…” S
Third Person’s POV “Wolf out, and let’s have a real fight,” Griffin said as he wiped the blood on his lips. “We can’t just play around. You knew why I came here, and that is to steal your wife again.” Aaron’s smile faded, and he took a shallow breath, meeting Griffin’s gaze with an impassive silence. “I’ll snatch Olive away from you,” Griffin persisted. In an instant, Aaron’s killer instinct kicked in, evident to everyone around him. His gaze transformed, no longer gentle but filled with a fiery determination. His bride. His woman. His chosen mate. As Griffin threatened to steal Olive once again, Aaron’s wolf emerged, his deep blue eyes devoid of mercy. Griffin already knew what was coming next. He swiftly shifted into his wolf form, and in an instant, a massive black wolf stood before him. Everyone’s eyes widened as they felt a sense of fear wash over them upon seeing the magnificent black wolf. Beta Xyrus, Griffin’s father, witnessed the transformation of the Alpha Lycan
Olive’s POV Days went by, and the anticipated showdown between Griffin and Aaron finally arrived. The clash was set to take place in the training hall of Aaron’s castle, a grand venue capable of accommodating a vast number of spectators. Even from the confines of my room, the resounding cheers of the eager crowd reached my ears, signaling the imminent commencement of the battle. However, amidst the excitement, I found myself overwhelmed with a sense of despair. “I couldn’t prevent this,” I whispered softly, my hands tightly clenched in my lap. Deep down, I dreaded the thought of Griffin meeting his demise at the hands of Aaron, the very person I had grown to love despite the absence of my memories. Determined to take action before it was too late, I made my way to Griffin’s clinic prior to the commencement of the fight. “Griffin?” I called out. As I entered the room, my eyes met Griffin’s figure standing by the window. He turned towards me, a warm smile gracing his face. “Hell
Olive’s POVAaron’s insistence made me feel uneasy about suddenly wearing a wedding dress. However, I reluctantly agreed and put on the stunning white gown. As the serving lady pulled back the curtain, I prepared myself for Aaron’s reaction.His eyes widened at first, but then a gentle smile spread across his face. “You look beautiful in it, my dear wife,” he said.Blushing, I couldn’t meet his gaze and felt the warmth on my cheeks.“It looks great on her, Sir Aaron,” the serving lady remarked. “Although, we’ll have to make some alterations to the dress. It’s a tad too large for her.”“Really?” Aaron responded.I interjected, “Hmm, there’s no need to adjust it for my size. I don’t even plan on...”...wearing it. That’s what I wanted to say. However, Aaron interrupted me and suggested, “Then, let’s change the size. We might find a use for it in the future.”I have to despise the idea of marrying him again, but I couldn’t say anything in response.“I’ll go check the measurements. Could
Olive’s POV Ever since my encounter with Aaron in the training hall, we have not met for a few more days. I heard he was busy training, and he didn’t want anyone to bother him. But all of a sudden, I was told that Aaron wanted to hang out with me outside the castle. That’s how I found myself sitting in the back seat of the car, with Aaron sitting beside me. Sitting in the back seat, I looked outside the window of the car. The sight outside looked wide and free. “Don’t even think of escaping, Olive,” Aaron said. I turned my head to him and caught him looking at me. “I know what you’re thinking right now,” he murmured, staring at the same window I was looking before. “How wide and free it was outside my castle. However, I won’t let you go.” Suddenly, I felt his hand holding mine. “Just wait until I win the fight. Then, I will show you the whole world. For now, stay with me and me alone,” he whispered, intertwining his fingers around mine. Oddly, even when he clearly told me t
Griffin’s POV Upon standing in front of my father, I was met with an intense slap that sent me staggering backward. The force of the blow was so powerful that it left me momentarily disoriented. “What were you thinking?” my father shouted, his voice filled with anger and disappointment. I lowered my head, silently listening to his words. “Our ancestor vowed to stay loyal to Aaron’s bloodline! I protected our family by bowing my head under their family! Why do you have to do this? Why did you challenge Aaron for a duel?!” “You don’t have to worry, Father,” I said, wiping the blood that smeared on my lips. I looked at him and said, “I made an additional deal with Lycan Aaron. My sin is my sin alone. My family won’t be punished along with me. And…” But before I could finish my sentence, my father forcefully grabbed my collar and pulled me closer, cutting off my words. “You fool! Do you think I was only worried about our family? I am… also worried about you!” father shouted. My ey
Olive’s POV I hardly got any rest. The news about Griffin and Aaron’s impending fight had been revealed, and it appeared that there was no way to call it off. The fear of one of them losing their life weighed heavily on my mind, making it impossible for me to find sleep. The following day, I felt incredibly unsettled and exhausted. I spent the entire day anxiously waiting for Aaron to return from work, desperately hoping that I could somehow persuade him otherwise. However, upon visiting his room, I discovered that he was nowhere to be found. “Are you looking for Lycan Aaron?” the head maid, who saw me leaving Aaron’s room, asked. “Yes, I was looking for him. Do you happen to know where he is?” I replied. “Lycan Aaron went to the training room of this castle.” “He’s already home? Since when?” “Almost three hours ago, Luna Olive.” He had been in the castle three hours ago, yet he didn’t make an effort to see me. ‘That means Aaron was avoiding me.’ Was it because he knew I wou
