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
After the recent battle, Elias's wound became more serious; blood-soaked his coat and dripped to the ground. I caught Elias as he staggered. "I'll help you over there to rest."Elias gasped, his eyes darting around warily. "This is not the time to rest; we must prepare for the next battle."I tightened my grip on the gun, not knowing where to get the courage from; I spoke firmly. "I will take care of them; you can rest assured that your wound cannot move too much."I didn't give Elias a chance to refuse; I glared and warned him. "If you don't want to make me angry, shut up!"At this moment, a series of footsteps rushed in our direction. I swallowed my saliva and forced myself to calm down. I know for sure that this disaster cannot be avoided even if I want to prevent it. I looked down at the black gun, and my heart also sank. Aliyah once taught me how to shoot a firearm for self-defense, but I never thought about using it to kill someone."Don't hesitate, don't be soft-hearted." Elias
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
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
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
"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 glanced at me, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
