Alicia's POV"Well, well, well, look who's here," my stepbrother jeered, his laughter filled with malice. Tears welled up in my eyes as I gazed at him. I had hoped Ramirez would be different, but he turned out just like them. I wondered why the Moon goddess would have chosen three Alphas as my mates.It was overwhelming, something I struggled to accept. Returning to my kingdom at this hour wasn't the right choice. Being here now only meant one thing – my life was in grave danger."Mother, she's arrived," my stepbrother announced, his laughter dripping with malice."Ah, welcome back, dear. I never realized you were still so easily fooled," she taunted, her laughter filled with scorn. Frustration and a sense of foolishness surged within me as I glanced at Ramirez, who couldn't meet my gaze.Deep down, I knew that if Alpha Astor and Alpha Alex received my plea for help, despite their slow pace here, one of them would reach me before any harm came my way. Ramirez had not only been decepti
Alicia's POV I wished my parents were alive to see my beautiful wedding. It was really nice. I stood next to Ramirez as he made me his Luna, and the rest of the pack showed their respect by bowing to me. Alpha Astor and Alpha Alex, who used to be my mates, resolved their problems and came to my wedding, leaving their past disagreements behind. "I'm very honored to be here," Alpha Astor said to everyone. "I hurt this beautiful lady standing here. I feel really sorry, and I know she deserves happiness." He walked up to me, took my hand, and looked into my eyes. "Alicia, can you forgive me?" He didn't want to let go of my hand. "I forgive you, Astor. They are all part of my past, and if it weren't for my stepmother's cruelty, I wouldn't be here today. It was a privilege to know you," I replied. I watched as he kissed my hand gently, then bowed before letting go and walking up to my mate, Ramirez. I could see the joy on his face. If they were looking for the happiest man on the planet
Alicia's POVRamirez hurriedly got dressed and left. Once he was gone, I felt lost, unsure of what to do.I sat on the bed feeling like everything was going wrong, watching everyone else in a rush. Then, a thought struck me. I went to the mirror and fixed my hair, which was still messy from last night. I got dressed and tied up my hair quickly.I rushed out of the room, thinking only of returning to my old kingdom, which wasn't in ruins anymore. Everyone there, including my stepmother and her son, had been killed.As I was about to leave the palace, someone spoke up, "Where are you going without the guards?" I turned and saw Ramirez. I had intended to go on my own because I knew he might not want me to return there. I've been thinking a lot about whether my stepmother really died that day. But I'm quite certain that Alpha Alex stabbed her and she bled from her stomach before she died. However, now that no one can explain the reason for all the killings, it's really concerning.I felt
Alicia's POVRamirez hurriedly got dressed and left the room in a rush. The atmosphere was very tense, and it felt like everyone was extremely worried.I'm afraid of my stepmother and the things she might do. I really don't know what her plans are this time, but I'm certain she won't stop until she gets her revenge.I can't be sure if my stepbrother is still alive, but what I do know is that there won't be any peace in this kingdom or the other kingdoms. We've angered someone powerful, and it's going to cause trouble for all of us.I got dressed in a hurry and went after Ramirez. Neither of us had a chance to bathe since morning, and now we were dealing with another unexpected problem.I had a feeling that my life after getting married wouldn't be as easy as the stories I'd read. It was turning out to be quite different."Wait, Ramirez. Can you tell me what's happening?" I asked the werewolf soldier who was coming toward me."The Alpha, Alex, wants to meet you and Ramirez," the werewo
Alice's POVI said, "Why are you here?" and I checked to make sure nobody was watching. But some soldiers from that night were looking at us.Alpha Alex asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?" He didn't care that others were watching us.I'm the Luna of this pack, which means I have to be cautious around Alpha Alex to avoid problems.I said, "Let's go somewhere else," and I pulled him away from the hallway. We both headed to the garden, which was mostly for Ramirez and me."Do you not want others to see us?" Alpha Alex questioned, attempting to touch my backside."Alex, what's happening with you? Is this another plan to win me back? If it is, you're too late. I won't give in," I cautioned as I stepped away from him."Do you believe I'll easily let you leave, Alicia? I've always loved you, and what did you do? You just left without asking me? I lost my hands because of that, and you think I'll just let you leave? And now your wicked stepmother is chasing me, Alicia.I won't allow you to leav
Ramirez's POVI saw Luna acting strangely when her ex-partner came back. I had to stay calm because I loved her a lot. She's very attractive, and I know many guys like her.Choosing her as my Luna was the best decision I ever made. But I worry if she'll return to her ex despite everything I've done for her. These thoughts keep bothering me.I watched Alpha Alex quietly leave his werewolf soldier's side. He glanced around and then vanished.I told the werewolf soldier, "I'll return soon. Please look after him well." They nodded to show they understood.I followed Alpha Alex and discovered he had been pretending the whole time. Even though he looked a bit sad, I let him join us because we were all fighting the same enemy.But I didn't know we were about to make a new enemy.I watched him knock on my chamber door. I hid behind the walls and waited for Alicia to open it, but she didn't. I heard him whisper her name, but nothing happened.I was about to approach him to ask if he was lost w
Alicia's POVI fell down, but my friend Ramirez helped me up fast. When I woke up, all I could recall was going out to throw up. "What happened, dear?" I asked, curious, as Ramirez stared at me, looking really scared."It's alright, dear. Guards! Please bring Luna inside," Ramirez said."Wait, honey, what's happening? Why isn't anyone answering me?" I asked, just to make sure I didn't do something wrong. I don't know what happened in the two minutes I spent throwing up.I could hardly walk, and with everything that's been happening, I passed out before the guards brought me to my room.Throughout the years, I've felt useless and weak under my stepmother's cruel rule."What's happening? Why are you breathing so hard?" Ramirez asked firmly."There's been another tragedy, and it was even more frightening than before," the werewolf reported, while Ramirez and I stood still, looking incredibly shocked.I feel like there's a stronger force affecting me, and I see things more clearly now. I
Alicia's POV Ramirez held me closer, and we both turned our attention to the werewolf soldier who had brought a message, and it seemed uncomfortable. We were both deeply affected by it.If this is the kind of challenge all destined mates encounter after marriage, I don't think I want to get married in my next life, assuming there even is one."Show us the way," Ramirez responded, pulling me along with him. Lately, I've noticed Ramirez frequently walking in on Alpha, Alex, and me, and it's starting to feel less like a coincidence.Upon arriving at the palace, we found another dead guard, but this time it didn't appear to be the work of the vanishing arrow. His blood seemed as if it had been drained from him."Where did you discover him?" Alpha Alex inquired, not waiting for Ramirez to ask."He was left outside," another werewolf guard answered."Have I not repeatedly told everyone to watch out for each other?! Haven't I?! You all let us get killed, one by one, and now war is upon us.
