Ayana cupped Isabelle and Cecil's faces. The two girls had the same look of worried, but if Isabelle was only purely worried by Ayana's injuries, Cecil knitted her brows in suspicion at what Ayana had done.Her grandmother had been acting strange ever since she arrived, and now she hugged them both as if they would never see each other again. She won't know what Ayana meant, but Cecil didn't like it."Grandma, I'm going to the manor to visit. I'm going to ask great-grandmother why the panther attacked you" Cecil said.Ayana's eyes widened "No!" she refused, too quickly "don't do that. Don't...don't go there""Why? Maybe they can help us""Don't do that Cecil. Don't you tell them when we meet, or you help me find a place to take shelter in this castle"Cecil's frown grew more and more. Why did Ayana say that? Was the reason as simple as she didn't want anyone to know that she was sick?Meanwhile, Ayana tries hard not to let Ivanka know that someone is helping her. Because if Ivanka kne
Early in the morning, they had all gathered in front of the castle to welcome the guests who would come that day. Isabelle, Victor, Cecil, Nicholas, Lucas, and the others.The company came in several men on horseback and a horse-drawn carriage. The man in the lead slumped down from the saddle as soon as they entered the gates, Alpha Alaric came up to them and Victor strode forward to greet his friend."Nice to visit here after such a long time" Alaric gave them one smile at a time,"Nice to welcome you here"When his gaze fell on Isabelle he immediately walked over to the girl and gave her a brief hug. The hug did not escape Alpha Victor's glance "Hello Isabelle, it's been a long time since we last saw each other. How are you?""I'm good, how about you?"Her face brightened with a beaming smile. If Alpha Alaric visited today, it meant that someone was coming with him too.The carriage opened and a woman holding a boy got off. Alaric helped his Luna down by holding her hand. He took ov
Before the Bloodmoon pack family would return to their manor, Victor and Alaric held a hunting event together in the forest earlier. The event wasn't a serious hunt, neither of the two Alphas did the hunting for real or brought out their fighting abilities.Most of the time they would just look for the right prey, a tame animal like hares or a fox, and then let the boy, Erion, do the hunting.Alaric would shout proudly at his son every time the boy managed to aim at his prey while Luna Belle didn't seem too happy about her son carrying the fox carcass.She sat on the branch of a fallen tree with Isabelle, watching the men with a bored look on her face.Luna Belle turned to Isa, she was bored so she chose to chat "when I was pregnant with my first child Erion, Alaric caught a bear and made me a cloak from its fur. It was very warm and to this day I still keep that grotesque thing in my wardrobe" She seemed to remember the times at that time.Isabelle gave her all the attention, she lov
Because he did not want that the statement he made yesterday will only be considered a rumor, Alpha Victor made the news that he chose Luna as an official announcement.The man even held a party at his castle right the next day after he claimed Isabelle that night. He invited all members of his pack and made them know who Luna had chosen.People are curious and think that it might be some daughter of another alpha, there was never another lover of his who was known by his pack after Helena. Now that Helena is a prisoner who was sentenced to death and escaped from Silverfur they wanted to know who is the lucky woman. A woman who will be Luna for their pack. One of the oldest and greatest packs in Lusevell.But when they finally met the woman, they all became stiff when they saw the girl, an omega would be their luna.At the main hall, Victor invited Her to do something that she was never thought of before. Dancing in the hall."I can't. I never dance before" the girl refused doubtful
The wolf came out of the bushes and ran around a little. It was not too big with agile movements and light grayish fur. With a pair of bright yellow eyes, the wolf looked at Victor and blinked. Victor was leaning against a tree. He too had shifted a moment ago and returned to his human form just now. He noticed how Isabelle's wolf moved nimbly to and fro. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, this really seemed unreal. He did not expect that he would witness the moment the girl shifted for the first time by himself. Victor felt happy. He had never felt this feeling before. The wolf moved into the bushes, it did not reappear for a long time. "Isa.... "As he approached, the place where the wolf had been was now replaced with a girl trying to stand up. Isabelle picked up her clothes and tried to put them back on. "I can't believe this! This is really amazing!" The girl said cheerfully. A moment ago when they were still in the forest, the Alpha was waiting while she admiring the
The sight in front of her was truly horrifying. Perhaps the most horrific Isabelle had ever seen in her entire life. The dagger lay on the floor with fresh blood stains, blood pouring onto the white floor from the wound in Ayana's neck. And the woman did not move, Isablle did not want to glance at her chest to make sure she was still breathing or not. She slumped to the floor right in front of her grandmother's body, she took Ayana's hand and brought it to her chest. Cold. The woman's hand was really like an ice. "Grandma" Isabelle trembled as she tried to call out to her and hoped that Ayana would answer her. But disappointment was all she got as Ayana did not move or even answer her. "Grandma, can you hear me?" No way. "This... " she began to sob "This can't be... "She looked at her grandma in disbelief. She had just come out for a moment, just two hours ago she saw Ayana recovering and they were hugging. Isabelle felt the warmth of the woman's embrace that made her relieved.
After reading the letter Cecil immediately folded it back, the letter was addressed to Isabelle and she would make sure that it reached her. She gave Nicholas a sharp look for not telling her about this letter "How could my grandmother give you this and not tell me?" the girl felt a little angry "When did she write about this?""Your grandmother and I spoke the night after she was brought here after the panther attack. She didn't tell me anything, just said that she had problems with her family and wrote the letter to Isabelle" Nicholas answered. He understood that Cecil was upset because all they knew was that Ayana was fine. No one knew the secret she was hiding. The girl's face looked haggard, all light has gone from her as she handed the letter back to Nicholas. Nicholas accepted it, feeling guilty for not telling Cecil. After all, she was Ayana's family. But he was also bound by his promise to Ayana not to tell anyone. "She doesn't want to worry anyone. I... I didn't know tha
Among the fog that had shrouded the night before dawn, Rena drove her nimble feet on the dew-covered forest grass. The young wolf would soon reach the Silverfur border, she just needed to keep running so that she could reach the Silverfur pack's castle soon. She was exhausted, her nimble legs were aching after the long journey from Scarlet Claw. She escaped from the manor and headed to Silverfur.'I must know what's happened to my sister' Violet insisted. The Red witch, Helena, never reappeared at the manor, but the news she brought lingered in Violet's mind, and refused to leave. Violet was going to reach Isabelle and see if it was true that her twin was pregnant. Rena continued running, and as she looked back, the image of Alpha Xander appeared in her mind. The same was true when the man said the words that made Violet heartache. 'I think he thinks of me as his mate. A brave mate. Turns out he thinks of me as nothing more than a weakling?'The night before..... "You can't go no
As the street performers finished their third song, the audience threw money into the container in appreciation for the entertainment they had received.It wasn't long before the container was full and the singers, including a little girl who wandered into the crowd, were beaming. She dashed to them as soon as she noticed Isabelle watching them from the crowd."You came! You kept your promise!" She cheered enthusiastically to the two of them, it was obvious that the little girl was very happy. Isabelle ruffled her hair gently "How could we forget? I like your singing, Lola" "Thank you!" The little girl loved to sing, and she was even happier because since she met Isabelle, there was no Rogue to bother their show. "Are the men still messing around over there?" Victor asked her "No sir, they never come again. It's magic!" Lola explained with sparkling eyes "What did you do to them? Are they all in jail? Are you a cop?" Her eyes twinkled. The little girl couldn't help but be curiou
Tiffany followed Nicholas until they reach the dense forest area further and deeper, the man seemed to have no intention of stopping even though he was far from the manor and only entered into the darkness, there was nothing here except the trees. Tiffany needed to make her boyfriend realize that maybe he was just hallucinating about seeing someone. "Nich!" the girl called out, He finally stopped his running right then and there, the person he was sure he saw earlier was gone. So fast it ran away, whoever they are must have known that Nicholas saw and chased after them. What a wily creature in fleeing and hiding, but unfortunately it would not last long. "Who exactly are you chasing? You..seem to see someone so...so important?" Tiffany was breathing heavily after running after him. "A witch, she was a Silverfur prisoner who was to be sentenced to death, but she escaped from prison and the pack hasn't found her yet. I believe I saw her!"Nicholas replied as his eyes scanned the su
"Would you like to dance?" Nicholas offered his hand to her. The guests began to dance with their respective partners in the hall, in sync with the melody of the music. As Alpha Xander and Violet returned to the manor, more and more joined the dance. Tiffany just watched them from the banquet table in the corner, the couples seemed to be very good at dancing and moving their bodies. Being at this party, a werewolf party for the first time made the girl feel a little awkward because of just a few people she knew. she accepted it and let him lead her to the center of the hall to join the others. "I might step on your foot" the girl felt she better say it before she would step on his foot and startled him. Nicholas chuckled "I won't get mad" Actually he wasn't very good at this kind of dancing himself. Tiffany glanced around for her parents, only to find that they had already joined the dancing party at some point. "Nich, do you think I get along well with the werewolves, with th
This was not the first time Xander had seen her. In his eyes, his mate was the only woman capable of possessing his heart. Only Violet could do that. But now looking at her, coming down the stairs in her wedding dress, he felt like he was seeing her for the first time. He could barely take his eyes off her let alone breathe. The girl took all his attention, she seemed to shine like a full moon tonight. And the smile on her face was the prettiest of all. It was because he knew that it was a happy smile. Xander couldn't help himself and walk over to her, he held out a hand and she take it. And as the Alpha led his mate to the center of the hall, there were whispers from the guests that all made Xander smile. Everyone was saying that his bride was indeed the perfect mate for him. "What's wrong?" the girl whispered softly and quietly "Is there something wrong with my appearance? I overheard them talking about me a bit"Violet swallowed, she never liked being the center of attention be
Victor stared blankly at the corpse of a Lycan lying in front of him. The Alpha tried to catch his breath, his opponent was dead but his anger had not yet dissipated. This was the creature that had killed his parents all those years ago, cause they do it against his order. Or was it he who could not control them? Until they killed his father and mother. Now that the creature was still alive, alarms rang in his mind remembering who the Lycan tried to attack moments ago."Isabelle?" Victor looked around but the girl was no longer there. There was a large trash can next to a street lamp, the man walked over to it. Victor stopped when he found the girl cowering there, hiding. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to look into his eyes. Victor held out his hand, but she just stood still and stared at him motionless. Only then did he realize that he must now look too horrible for her to look at. His hands and shirt were covered in the Lycan's blood. That blood must have spread to h
"Alpha, there is a letter for Luna Isabelle from the Scarlet Claw pack" Gavriel handed the paper to himVictor raised an eyebrow. A letter to his Luna from Scarlet Claw? This must have been written by her twin. Victor stared at the letter for a while, he didn't want to open this first before her. But the man couldn't help his worry. What does it say? Her twin met his Luna a few days ago. Nicholas, the one who swore loyalty to his pack was now back with them. 'Is there something they are planning to do to my Luna?' he wondered.The man finally opened the paper and read the contents, and sure enough, it was written by Violet herself. Mom and dad are here.That was the first sentence written, Victor read the whole thing. Afterward, he folded the letter back up and put it in his pocket. The Alpha seemed silent for a moment, not making any comment on the contents of the letter. That made Gavriel wonder "Is the letter a threat?" Gavriel asked "Do we need to make preparations in case the
Inside the cafe, the atmosphere was warm and cozy. It's the end of autumn in the human world and the snow is starting to fall making the air even colder. Having a cup of coffee or chocolate in this weather is a must. "One hot chocolate and coffee. And a Black coffee" Isabelle told the waiter her order. "Alright, just a moment miss" the waiter left after taking the note. "How do you know what I want to drink?" Victor asked her, they were sitting opposite each other at the table in front of the window. Now the man was looking at the girl who seemed to be busy reading the menu book. They both visited the human world because she missed the taste of food here. After being presented with the menu, the girl was at a loss for choice. She even forgot the taste of the food here. "I didn't think that you would want chocolate or milk. I just ordered what you usually drink in Lusevell" she replied. Or something that tasted close to it because no drink here would taste the same as the one in
When they arrived at the manor, the Scarlet Claw pack had already gathered in the courtyard. Tiffany gulped as she passed through the crowd of werewolves who had their eyes on them. Nicholas held her hand tightly to steady her, while behind them, Davis and Diana looked around them and wondered what world they had entered. This was the first time Alpha Xander had invited a human to Lusevell, to their manor. Davis and Diana stopped, they stared at each other as if asking each other if they were dreaming. After entering Lusevell, Tiffany led them to the manor straight away. Diana blinked her eyes at the magnificent building in front of her, it was so beautiful. The surroundings were also very beautiful as if they had entered a world in a painting. In front of the entrance, a tall man stood. The man had sharp blue irises. When he saw the two of them, Xander give a warm smile. Diana immediately knew that he wasn't just anybody, he must be the leader here. What made Davis and Diana wid
The tense atmosphere slowly turned into awkwardness as none of them opened their mouths to speak. Tiffany stood by her mother's bed anxiously. She repeatedly tried to wake Diana, who still had her eyes closed. Across from her, Davis Miller massaged the bridge of his nose as he closed his eyes tightly.Neither father nor daughter spoke a word to each other. Tiffany wanted to speak up and start explaining but she was too scared, while Davis was just not sure where to start. Tiffany stroked her mother's hair softly "Please, wake up."There was a sigh from Davis who looked so tired. The man couldn't wait any longer for his wife to wake up from her stupor "I'll call the doctor" The man was about to walk out of the room. Tiffany stood up straight before the man reached the doorway, there was a coughing sound from the bed. They both turned to Diana who seemed to be massaging her forehead, the woman slowly began to open her eyes. "Mom" Tiffany quickly intervened as her mother insisted on
