Serena's POV: As usual, I woke up at four o'clock in the morning, before everyone was awake and before the clock had even rung. I lazily got off the bed and stood looking at my haggard face in the mirror for a while, but I couldn't help but sigh. Thanks to the faint light from the candle, I fumbled for the ointment and applied it to the wound. An extended cut on my face; it's been there since Luna Irene scratched my face while I worked, to her displeasure. I am an abandoned orphan and was raised by the Alpha family. I was allowed to live in the same house with them and was adopted by Alpha. However, my real life is just an enslaved person serving Alpha's family. Above all, I am highly grateful to them, but on the other hand, I am afraid to meet them. Almost everyone hates me and thinks I'm a cursed unlucky person. The day I was found on the forest's edge was also the day Alpha's third child died. I grew up with the malicious ridicule that I was the one who killed Alpha's premature b
I was increasingly confident that something serious had happened to the Pack. Since the morning ended, I have yet to see Alpha, Luna, or even Asher. In the large mansion where only Stella and I were left, she was filing her nails and mumbling her displeasure at being forbidden to go out by Luna."Is my mother old and out of her mind? How can she order me to be detained here?" Stella raised her eyes to the sky and groaned.I just looked at her and got yelled at by Stella. "Look again, and I'll gouge your eyes out!""I don't want to look at you either," I said and turned away; I wasn't in the mood to argue or get into trouble with her.After a while, Stella got bored and returned to her room to sleep. The room became much quieter.Usually, my day would have passed comfortably if my hunch wasn't uneasy. I don't know what's wrong with me, but my heart is constantly pounding. My left eye keeps twitching, and I usually have bad luck when that happens. Asher thinks it's superstitious, but I
I stood feverishly outside the door, only hearing Stella's unending sobs. I can understand her mood right now. No one can stay calm when hearing such breaking news.Is she marrying Elias? That is so bad!At this moment, the door opened again. Alpha ordered me inside. "Come here, Serena; we have something important to tell you."I walked over slowly, Luna ordered me to sit again, but I refused and said. "I can stand and listen."Alpha and Luna didn't force me either. Luna nudged Alpha's waist and said. "Do you think my offer is okay?"Alpha nodded and looked at me from top to bottom. I feel unnatural, but I can't do anything else. I cannot scold him or leave this place without permission."Serena, hear what I'm about to say." Luna is serious.I nodded nervously. I imagined dozens of tasks for me. If Alpha ordered me to go to the battlefield, I would accept it, but her following sentence would turn me to stone. "I want you to replace my daughter in marriage to Alpha Elias. You are not a
I sat before the dressing table, looking at my sad face in the mirror; I suddenly felt bitter. My eyes are puffy because I cried all night last night; even though the makeup artist tried to cover it under makeup, it didn't do much.On the wedding day, people are supposed to be cheerful and happy, but I put on the face of a mourner. In my dreams, I always dreamed that I could walk beside Asher, put on my best wedding dress, and receive everyone's blessings. But now, all my wishes are shattered."You should be happy to be married to such a big character as Alpha Elias; why display such a disgruntled expression here?" The disgruntled makeup artist pouted.I smiled faintly, sarcastically. "If it feels so good, will you marry him instead of me?"After hearing that sentence, the makeup lady's face turned pale; she didn't dare to be rude to me anymore. Almost everyone trembled as a dog caught in the rain when they listened to that sentence. Yes, no one is willing to marry a cruel like Elias;
The atmosphere in the car was highly gloomy; the other man and I always kept silent. Contrary to the usual smile on his lips when entering the wedding, Marcus is a freezing person. He just took the initiative to say a few sentences to me on assignment, and I just replied politely, and then it ended in less than five sentences.I put my hands on my hands and looked out the window, watching the scenery outside constantly moving, but my heart was empty. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, like the sky was crying for me.Our car gradually went deeper into Pack territory; I realized this because, on the way, there were many times I saw the flag representing Blood Moon. This place used to be called S-Moon; Pack is small, but its natural resources are affluent. Many people were trying to take it, including Blue Moon, but no one could trespass because of the rugged terrain. But three months ago, it belonged to Elias; what is more impressive, he readily took it in one night and renamed t
"You seem very dissatisfied with this marriage?" Elias lifted my chin, smiling sarcastically. "The act of selling your daughter to the enemy, regardless of her life or death, thinking over and over in this world, only your father can do it." I feel bitter in my heart; no father would have the heart to let his daughter step into the fire pit. Therefore, I am new here, becoming a dead ghost in place of his daughter. However, I only dared to mutter these words in my heart, not daring to say a word. Elias's thumb brushed my lips, rubbing it with such force that it wanted to tear, but I stubbornly refused to utter a word. Because since I was a child, I have known a cruel truth. No matter how much I suffer or suffer, no one will feel sorry for me. No, there used to be, and now it's just a past I want to bury the most. Thinking like that, I don't want to appear weak in front of a cruel person like Elias; my pain in his eyes is just a joke. "It's ugly; remove that thick powder on your fac
I stared in horror at the man in front of me without blinking. I was more and more afraid of him. I once stole a book by Asher; inside, a stunning sentence made me remember it forever.'The devil has a fierce appearance that is not scary; the devil with an angelic beauty that is scary.'This sentence looks pretty suitable for Elias; he has a perfect face like a statue but a deep black heart like a snake or centipede."If it's okay, be a little obedient to me; if you make me unhappy, I don't know what entertainment I will come up with to play with you." Elias left a warning and left the room.Hearing the footsteps fade away until the sound of the car engine sounds, I come to my senses.Even though he was gone, the cold still left me shivering; I pulled into the blanket, and my body couldn't help but shiver. I know today's things are just the beginning of a chain of unhappiness behind.Elias didn't say if he'd come back home, so I didn't dare to nap all afternoon, just staring at the do
The scene outside was nothing like what I had imagined of the land Elias ruled. That also made me hesitate to go out.According to what I found out, Blood Moon is different from the usual Packs. They are never fixed in one place and often change their location; from the day Blood Moon was founded to now, they have moved through nine different positions. Wherever they conquer, that place will be their home.I assumed that when I left that cold house, I would encounter a scene of death and trauma. But no, what I was seeing was a busy city.Pedestrians, riders, and people sit in the cafe enjoying a hot cup of coffee, and groups of students gather to chat freely and have fun; the adults then complain about the difficult superiors.It is a bustle of everyday life.What is this, after all?I feel my mind confused along. Under the constant frequency of location changes, how does Blood Moon carry so many people? Those rogue warriors also have no family; they are a bloodthirsty and warlike arm
"Mommy!" The young, clear voice fell into my ears, and Sophia jumped into my arms when I turned around. "I miss you so much, mom."I kissed her cheek and smiled brightly. "I miss you too; the older you get, the more beautiful you become."Sophia cooed against my chest, something my little girl would never do. Sophia's actions made my heart filled with sweetness.Not long after, a soft hand touched my thigh. Fiona raised her indifferent eyes to look at me. "Mom, I have something to tell Sophia."I opened my mouth at the words my daughter had just uttered. It's not like a five-year-old child; on the contrary, it is like an adult.After I dropped Sophia off, Fiona pulled her away from my helplessness.As for Alan, it was like meeting a soulmate after meeting Drake. They had many similar interests. I was afraid their chemistry and harmony were better than his two fathers.As I got closer, I heard their conversation."In the future, I will become the strongest Alpha; I will fly everywhere
Serena POV:Five years later.Time passes by like a dream. Just then, Fiona had grown up and was as tall as my waist. The older Fiona gets, the more she shows the same personality as her father. She usually doesn't talk much and is often thoughtful like an adult.Elias didn't seem very pleased; he wished his daughter could be as happy as the children with me, and he often complained to me that I was wrong in wanting our daughter like him. But that's what Elias thinks; until now, I'm still delighted with Fiona. Maybe it's because I'm so crazy about Elias; I feel it's good for Fiona to resemble him.After Fiona was two years old, I became pregnant again and gave birth to a son. I always felt that Alan was returning to us for some reason, so I called him Alan. My son also inherited his father's outstanding height. At just two years old, he reached the peak of my thigh.The miraculous thing is that Alan also looks precisely like Elias, even more like Fiona, and sometimes when I look at Al
Elias POV:I gently looked at Serena's sleeping face and felt like I was the happiest man in the world. I held her hand, bent down, and kissed her gently on the forehead. Serena stirred a little, but she was too tired to wake up.I helped her adjust her position to a comfortable position, unable to contain my joy, as I placed my ear on her big round belly. In just one month, our daughter will be born. I eagerly waited for that day and thought of thousands of names to match my treasure. But no matter what I think, I don't see any name worthy of my daughter.I still clearly remember the happiness when Serena told me she was pregnant. I couldn't imagine the joy at that moment; the emotions that burst into my heart made me want to go crazy. But I had to suppress it and just smile.Because I was haunted by my lost child and Serena's days in hell, I began to fear this and that. So I wrapped her in my arms, not daring to momentarily take my eyes off her.And when I found out Serena was havin
Two months passed quickly, and the reconstruction of Blood Moon was half completed. Usually, when I have free time, I work at the hospital, which makes me comfortable and almost without thinking during the day. It was already dark when I finished my work and raised my head."Serena, have you had lunch yet?" Lily poked her head over to ask me, holding a paper bag. "If not, you can eat with me, and I bought some delicious fried chicken thighs."I laughed and felt hunger coming. "Then I won't be polite."Lily placed the bag of chicken on the table, and seeing its eye-catching color made my stomach growl. But when I picked up the chicken leg, my previous craving immediately disappeared, replaced by a wave of nausea that made my head spin.I immediately rushed to the bathroom and vomited into the toilet; I felt like all my internal organs wanted to fly out.Lily was worried, so she ran after me. She turned pale, grabbed me, and kept asking. "What happened to you? Do you feel unwell inside?
Elias and I went to find Logan and Sona early in the morning. And I think it was a lousy visit because we ruined a wonderful moment for the young couple.Logan looked at us with undisguised hatred. "Alpha and Luna know how to choose when to visit their friends."I was shy, but Elias casually shrugged his shoulders. "We also don't think Alpha Logan's health is so good that it doesn't matter whether it's day or night."I almost spit out water because of what Elias said. Could it be that he doesn't feel tickled when talking about this issue? Yesterday, we also had a long day when the sun had not yet set.Why isn't Alpha Elias like that? Or are you too weak? Do you need me to teach you a few lessons?The appearance of Sona with their little daughter made the atmosphere less awkward. Sona smiled at me, then whispered to Sophia, who was holding her in her arms. "Those are the foster parents I told you about; come say hello to them."Sophia is such a lovely girl that I can't take my eyes off
Serena POV:Sona couldn't contain her emotions when she saw me, and she hugged me tenderly. Sona's eyes are unlike the others, and I don't know any strangeness in her."It must be excruciating." Sona looked painfully at the scars on her lips. "But don't worry, I specially made this medicine for you; it has the ability to heal all scars."I looked at the small medicine bottle in Sona's palm, slightly upset. "But this scar has been there for a long time. Will the medicine be effective now?"Sona smiled. "You doubt me? You don't believe in my abilities?"I shook my head; I knew Sona's abilities. She is an excellent doctor; it wouldn't be too much if I thought she was a genius."Apply twice daily for about a week, and you will see results." Sona put down the medicine bottle, then looked up at the tightly pulled curtains. "You wouldn't mind if I pulled it out?"I was silent for a moment, then nodded. After the curtain hung, the harsh light shone into my eyes, making me feel a bit uncomfort
Elias POV:"Alpha, you should rest more. Your injury is more serious than it appears; you should not rely on your health." Marcus grumbled next to me as I insisted on seeing data related to the battle.I tiredly rubbed my forehead and looked at him with warning eyes. "You talk a lot like a mother nagging her children. Will you stop?"Marcus pursed his lips and sighed. "If I were your mother, I wouldn't want you to ruin your health like that."Marcus's words made my hand freeze, impacting my heart strongly. If my mother were still alive, I would ask myself countless times in childhood, but no one could answer me. And then, I don't know when; I no longer remember that question. I gradually accepted the cruel truth: my mother would never return. Growing up is the most brutal experience.I folded up the documents and put them aside. Marcus saw that his words had an effect and immediately said happily. "You should have done that early."I glanced at him, said nothing, and went straight to
A loud bang rang out shortly after I slept, startling me from my dream. I sat up, and by inertia, I held Elias's hand tightly. After confirming he was okay, I calmed down. We looked at each other, and Elias's puzzled look confused me."Could it be that they have come again?" I trembled; our condition was not suitable for fighting anymore. "How now? Why did they come so quickly?"Elias stroked my hair; his calm and composed attitude made me feel strange. Elias was the first to react every time they came, but he didn't show any emotion this time. Could it be that yesterday's fever caused him mental problems?"Do you know that if someone else looked at me with such judgmental eyes, she would die?" Elias glanced at me, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "Someone is coming."I frowned; I knew that, but why not quickly run away?"I will help you hide on that rock; we can't fight right now," I say.Elias stood up thanks to my arm but didn't rush to run away; he conveniently grabbed my hand
One day and one night later, Elias still hadn't woken up, which made me restless.'His fever has gone down, his wound is fine, but why hasn't he woken up?' I told Mei I needed someone to give me advice right now.Mei remained silent for more than half a day before responding to me in a passive voice. 'Do not worry. He needs a long sleep to restore his health.'I told myself that Mei was right. My stomach growled with hunger; I rubbed my flat belly and groaned. Many days, we didn't have anything to put in our stomachs. Remembering this shocked me; could Elias be so hungry that he couldn't wake up?That thought made me unable to sit still anymore. I walked around looking for something to eat and suddenly remembered the other soldiers had brought a few pieces of bread. Even though it's a bit hard, having something to eat in this situation is good.I dipped the bread in water to soften it, then put small pieces into Elias's mouth. But it didn't work, and he couldn't swallow. I had to be m
