Logan smiled cunningly; he reached into his shirt to look for something, then curled his lips. "Yes, of course. Who do you think I am? But I don't work without compensation. Think carefully, why negotiate with me?Marcus noticed Logan's hand, his eyes darkened. Looking at Marcus' murderous expression, I knew what he was thinking. If we evaluate Marcus' ability, he is not much inferior to Logan, but in terms of cunning, I need to rate Logan highly. He is an Alpha and has ruled a pack since he was young. He did not stop at any tricks to get Black Moon to its current position."Marcus." I reminded him, then glanced at Logan, who was smiling complacently. "Five more years of free weapons, unlimited quantity."Logan smiled brightly and took out a transparent glass bottle containing some strange brown pills.He saw the doubt in my eyes and immediately explained. "Sona created this based on the toxic ingredients in your blood. And your warriors, including the guy standing next to you, have a
Serena POV:The atmosphere today in Asher's villa is somewhat unusual. The servants kept running repeatedly, creating a series of noisy sounds. It seemed like they were moving things around as if they were scared and running away.I wanted to go out and take a look, but Asher had locked the door.A moment later, Asher returned; his attitude also made me suspicious. He looked rushed and worried about something. It wasn't like his usual composure."We need to get out of here," Asher said as he opened the cupboard, took a few bottles of medicine, and put them in his pocket, along with some credit cards and a gun.No! I don't want to leave here. Elias is still in prison, and he is very close to me."I do not want to go." I still sat motionless.Asher was dissatisfied with my resistance. He roughly squeezed my chin, growling. "Don't think I don't dare do anything to you. It's best to be obedient so you won't have to endure pain."I bit my lip and didn't speak, but my body remained stagnant
Elias POV:I swear I don't know how I got through that difficult moment. I picked up Serena and ran like crazy to the hospital. The doctors are no longer there, and they were captured by Asher and imprisoned somewhere the warriors have not found.My heart is hot like fire.Damned! My Serena! She is in danger!I hugged her gradually cold body in my arms. I tried to put my ear close to her heart to find her heartbeat. It was fragile, like a fire that could be extinguished anytime."Let's put her to bed." Sona rushed over.Logan frowned. "You need to rest; you were tired of researching medicine."I growled at Logan. Right now, I can only put my hope in Sona. But he wants to stop me, and I will not allow anyone to hinder Serena's treatment.Sona smiled. "Don't worry, Logan. I know my health. Serena needs me, and we are friends; I can't leave her alone." She turned to me and nodded. "I will try my best. You stand aside; let me check her wound."My heart is pumping. I put her down gently, t
Elias POV:I woke up after two days of coma. I almost died during the blood draw. Sona tried to take my life from death. That's what I heard Marcus say.As usual, I first open my eyes every morning to see if Serena is okay.I kissed her forehead and smiled. "Good morning, my baby."I wish she could open her eyes and respond to me. But that will be unlikely, and I'm waiting for a miracle. Sona said that although Serena's life can be saved for now, she may never wake up. That poison penetrated deep into her internal organs, and Asher did not want her to live. Talking about that bastard makes my blood boil, and I want to cut him open and peel his skin off right now."Serena, how long are you going to sleep? You wake up and look, spring is almost here. The flowers in the garden have already bloomed. If you don't hurry to see them, they will wither away. You must wait another year to see it again; don't you regret it?"I quietly looked at her sleeping face. She looks so calm and peaceful.
Serena POV:I just heard Elias's voice, I'm sure. He must be perturbed about me, and I've been sleeping for quite a while. I want to see him again, and I want to tell him I'm okay.My eyes slowly opened, and the sudden light shining into my eyes stung; I squinted a few times before opening them. I saw the familiar ash-gray ceiling. If I'm not mistaken, this is a central hospital.I turned my eyes around to look for the familiar figure that I always missed. Finally, I found him in the corner of the room. Elias had his back turned to me; he was thinking about something deeply without paying attention to his surroundings.Seeing him again made me so happy that I wanted to cry. I am genuinely grateful to the goddess for blessing us."Elias..." I opened my mouth to cry softly, my throat aching with every breath.When Elias heard my voice, he raised his head, and his action of pouring water stiffened for a moment. The glass in his hand fell to the ground, hot water splashed, and he didn't c
Elias POV:There are no words that can describe my pain right now. I couldn't bear to look at Serena's desperate eyes. I feel her pain right now, and it's like you've got one foot in the grave."Honey, after you wake up, I'll take you to visit our baby." That was the promise I made to her before injecting her with the sedative.I don't want to do that to my mate. But she is mentally unstable; she is sick and needs rest to recover. Every time she woke up, she would cry until she was about to faint. I didn't know how to comfort her; I could only hug her tightly."Alpha…" Marcus appeared suddenly without me even noticing. "You should eat something. You haven't eaten or slept for two days. Even if you were made of steel, you couldn't stand it if this situation continued."I ran my hands through my hair and spoke tiredly. "I don't want to eat anything.""But Luna needs you to take care of her. If you also fall ill, what should she do?" Marcus is worried."I will not," I said as my voice cr
After Serena fell asleep, I silently left the room. I can't wait to meet that bastard Asher. I have been waiting for this for a long time, and I want him to experience the most terrible pain. I want him to live better than die. I hate his whole family; that wretched family caused me so much suffering. I will make them fall to hell.The fishy smell in the prison made me even more excited. The scent of Asher's blood and sweat filled my nose, stimulating every cell in my body. I would be happy if I could taste his blood.In the torture room, Asher was being hung up like he did to me before.Hearing footsteps, Asher raised his eyes to look. When he saw me, he got a little excited and described it. "You look angry. Let me guess why." He was silent for a few seconds, then burst out laughing. "Is she dead?"I swung the stick I held up and hit Asher straight in the chest. He was in so much pain that he spit out bright red blood."Pity for you. What you said is not true. She is not dead; on th
Serena POV:It's been two months since Alan left me. I spent the same amount of time working in the hospital. I am thrilled to work here; I can help many people and simultaneously help myself forget my previous sadness. I won't have time to think nonsense; most of my time will be spent treating the injured.The war never ended for a single day. I don't know much about fighting, so I didn't ask Elias much. But I heard Marcus report that Blood Moon is continuously winning. Elias has tracked down most of the small packs of Rogues in the forest. They are people who have cooperated with Asher before. Elias didn't want me to get involved in those things because he didn't want to haunt me. But I know the end of those Rogues was tragic."Luna, have you had lunch yet?" Lily carried the lunch box and walked next to me.I lifted the sandwich in my hand for her to see, then smiled. "I'm eating now. But don't call me Luna from now on. My name is Serena, and I'd be happy if you called me by my name
