Serena POV:I sat alone in the transport vehicle. We traveled all day and one night and almost only stopped when the car engine needed to rest. According to Marcus' calculations, we will be in the central city at dawn tomorrow. I did not join them in direct combat but retreated to logistics, preparing everything to care for soldiers injured in battle.My heart beats fast when I think about the terrible wars that are about to take place.It was still early morning, and we had arrived at the edge of the city center; it seemed earlier than expected. I looked around, and a feeling of familiarity and strangeness rushed into my mind. I am standing on the territory of Blue Moon, where I lived and grew up. Things have changed so much that I almost don't recognize the bustling and vibrant city from before. Currently, it is as silent as a dead city.Marcus ordered everyone down on foot, secretly surrounded the city, and had an elite army sneak in from the sea to examine the situation.The follo
I took bandages and red medicine and went around the hospital to help the injured. Marcus kept his promise; he did not hurt anyone in the group of 'prisoners.'' They were taken to the hospital for treatment instead of cold prisons; they were cared for and treated tenderly. I'm very grateful to Marcus for that decision; he has a more honest heart than he lets on.I went to visit Mrs. Lina, and she was sleeping after having shrapnel removed from her calf. I carefully covered her with the blanket. After changing the medicine and ensuring everything was okay, I left the hospital room.As I walked out, a young nurse rushed over and grabbed my elbow.I frowned at her and quickly realized it was Swara. A nurse was hired at the same time as Lona. She is quiet and hard-working."Luna, damn it! Something happened!" Swara put her hands on her knees, panting. I gave her a glass of water and asked slowly. "What are you in such a hurry for? Are there any patients in critical condition?"Swara finis
I dreamily looked around the cold and smelly prison cell. My mind was no longer lucid, and occasionally, hallucinations arose. If I calculated correctly, I was detained for two days. I despised Luna Irene's tricks and cruelty. She has hundreds, thousands of ways to torture me.At first, I still intended to run away. I attacked the woman and rushed into the forest, but I was quickly caught. Luna Irena used a stick to break my legs, then brought me here. My stomach growled with hunger; the pain in my stomach made my eyes blurry. I clenched my teeth and endured the pain coming from my bones. I looked up at the ventilation panel on the wall, tears streaming down my face. Maybe this time, I won't be as lucky as before; I won't be able to meet Elias again. Just thinking about it makes my heart feel like it's about to explode."Does it feel great right now? You should have thought about today when you oppressed Stella and Asher." Luna Irene walked over; the sound of her high heels hitting th
Elias POV:"Alpha, good news! We have successfully stolen the amount of food needed for the army. The rest were burned down. Now that Ryder's giant army is about to starve, he won't have the strength to fight back anymore." A soldier happily ran in to report to me.I curled my lips coldly, and only a bright red patch was before my eyes. "Tonight, attack with all us might! Make sure to find Luna and keep her safe. Capture Ryder and his wife alive."The soldier nodded and left the room. Not long after, Alex arrived; he was my subordinate, and his ability was powerful. I'm considering making him the new Gamma of the pack after the position has been vacant for a long time."Alpha, you haven't eaten or slept in three days; you won't be able to hold on." Alex looked worriedly at my dark eye sockets. "From here until evening, please rest for a while."I calmly shook my head; I couldn't sleep even though my body was alarmed because of fatigue. I need to close my eyes, and the painful image of
Upon hearing my voice, Serene's fingers moved slightly. And when she raised her face, I froze, looking at her mouth. It turned into a mess of blood and stains. It was sewn together tightly with rough strings and swollen with infection. And up until this point, blood was still dripping down the rope."You bastard! What did you bastards do to her?" I roared, there was only damn red left in front of my eyes, and I was ready to kill at this moment.Ryder looked at me calmly, then smiled. "Of course, it was my wife's masterpiece. Have you seen how creative she is in torturing people? She is very gifted at this, and I hope you get to experience it soon."I was about to rush up and tear him apart; I would have broken his neck and ripped out his mouth if it wasn't for Serena's grip. My chest clenched painfully as I looked down at her skinny, bloodstained hand clutching my finger. I became even more desperate when I realized that her fingernails were gone, leaving only a soft piece of flesh co
Serena POV:I don't know if I'm unconscious or awake. Why do I see both Elias and my past image? In one ear, I heard Elias's familiar voice; in the other, I listened to my cries after being rejected.In the darkness, I saw a four- or five-year-old girl sitting in a corner, curled up with her trembling body. I reached my hand to pull her out of the darkness but quickly realized I couldn't touch her. Then I saw Luna Irene from many years ago. She wore a red dress and carried a rope. Then, the string somehow turned into needles and crude coils. Irena pulled the child up, then cruelly sewing through his mouth. That child cried extremely pitifully; she struggled and protested as if it were useless. Then, from the glimmer of light through the door frame, I saw that child's face clearly.I shivered, breathing rapidly, but no matter how hard I tried, the feeling of suffocation still overwhelmed me.That was me 16 years ago, and my face was covered in blood!'Serena, we are falling into an ill
Three more days have passed. We were locked in this dark place with no food or water. Every day, Elias would walk around looking for a way out, but to no avail. My legs were better; I could limp but was so hungry I couldn't stand."Elias, we probably won't be able to escape this place." I lowered my head in despair; hunger made me tired and hallucinated. "I'm about exhausted."Elias hugged me; he hadn't had anything in his stomach for many days. He was about to say something to me but suddenly stopped, putting his finger to his mouth to signal me to be quiet. His face flashed with tension. I frowned in confusion but still didn't dare to move.Then Elias took me and hid me behind a large rock, giving careful instructions. "If you hear noise, don't go out. Wait for me to return; this is our chance to escape."I didn't understand what was happening, but an uneasy feeling made me hesitate to let Elias go. "What happened in the end? Can you explain more clearly?""I heard footsteps, and it
When I thought everything was over, another fear came before I could breathe a sigh of relief. Elias fell, his face pale. I hurriedly ran to help Elias; a wet, sticky liquid clung tightly to my hand when I touched Elias's back. At this time, I discovered that he had two bullets in his back, two in his thigh, and other incisions.I clenched my teeth to suppress the pain and forced myself to calm down. I helped Elias sit in a clean place, wiped the other soldiers' shirts clean, and then put them on Elias's shoulders."Quickly find a place to hide…" Elias whispered, his bloody hand clutching my wrist. "If they don't return, Ryder will notice something wrong. He'll send someone down to check... Once again, I can't protect you. You must quickly find the secret door through which they came down here and leave this basement..."I gritted my teeth and shook my head. Before I could say a word, Elias's ears perked up. He quickly pushed me away, his voice hoarse and helpless. "Run fast! Those ba
