The next morning, Blaze woke up early as usual."Mm…" he groaned and stretched his arms. He subsequently winched and squeezed his eyes, wrinkles forming on his brow."Fuck… my back hurts," he mumbled as he sat up and rubbed his back. He had his eyebrows furrowed.In the meantime, his gaze was drawn to Triana’s beautiful face, which glowed under the yellow light of the nightlamp. Blaze couldn’t help but smile when he saw her sleeping peacefully. He was so lost watching her that he forgot about his back pain. Then his eyes moved down to her slightly parted rosy lips. A strong desire to kiss her arose within him. He subconsciously stood up and walked up to her, his gaze lingering on her lips.‘I want her, I want her…’ Roz began to howl inside his head.Blaze stretched his hand and gently stroked his thumb across her lips."Mm…" Triana moaned and shifted her weight to the other side.Blaze quickly drew his hand back and hurried to the restroom, his heart hammering loudly inside his ribcag
Triana wrapped her arms around Blaze’s neck and continued to whimper in pain, her eyes shut tight. Blaze felt a stinging pain in his heart when he heard her whine. At the same time, he became angry. He began to blame himself for bringing her along. If he had not allowed her to accompany him, Triana would not have been injured. He clenched and unclenched his jaw, his gaze turning sharper."Blaze…" Triana mumbled, her voice barely audible. "Are you okay?"Blaze’s anger evaporated in an instant. He looked down at her, his expression gentle. Her question touched him. Triana was worried about him even though she was badly injured. In this condition, she should have worried about herself, but instead, she was concerned about him."I’m fine," Blaze murmured. "Don’t worry about me."Triana’s consciousness was going and coming back. She couldn’t understand what he was saying."Blaze…" she mumbled his name one more time before losing consciousness."Bear the pain for a while," Blaze mumbled. Wh
Blaze grew restless with each passing minute. He paced around his office, his hands pressed against the back of his head. The thought of Triana still harboring feelings for Bruno made his heart tremble. After all, their mate bond hadn’t terminated yet. Blaze feared that Triana would leave him and go back to Bruno. This notion made his blood run cold.He had already experienced betrayal. He didn’t want to get hurt. Besides, he couldn’t force Triana to be with him, no matter how much he wanted to. It was better if he distanced himself from her before his feelings for her grew stronger.Blaze walked out of the office and went to find Gayle.After Erica had left, Triana was all by herself in the ward. She'd been resting on the bed for quite some time. She crawled down the bed slowly, intending to take a little walk outside."Mm…" Triana whimpered the moment her injured leg landed on the floor. She propped her hips on the bed, wrinkling her brow."Fuck…" she cursed, gnashing her teeth. She
At the hospital…Triana jarred awake from her slumber when she heard the door squeak. When she lifted her head a little and peered at the entrance, she noticed the door frame gently swinging. Someone had to have come in. Triana didn’t know why she felt as if Blaze was here."Phew…" She dropped her head back on the pillow. "Why would he come in the middle of the night?"She assumed a nurse might have come to check on her. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.Gayle, on the other hand, coughed and rubbed his chest as he struggled to breathe. When he saw Blaze's ferocious appearance, he felt shivers run up and down his spine. He scooted further away as he witnessed Blaze destroying the equipment. The monstrous alpha he used to know seemed to return tonight. He feared that everything would be destroyed in the pack. He kept looking at him in trepidation, wondering what had made Blaze so mad.After the mass destruction, he noticed Blaze sagged on the floor, holding his head. He squi
The next morning…"Mm…" Triana moaned, stretching her arms. When she inhaled, she perceived a pleasant floral aroma. She quickly opened her eyes and looked around, only to find multiple bouquets of colorful flowers adorning the room.The white walls were festooned with a slew of red roses. Bouquets of tulips were taped to the corners of the sickbed. The sofa, coffee table, and even the bedside table were crammed with bunches of red roses.Triana’s mouth hung open as she wondered who had sent these flowers. She picked up a bunch of red roses from the side table and peered at it. She noticed a small greeting card amidst the flowers.‘Good morning, beautiful. I can't wait for you to be discharged from the hospital… Blaze.’ Triana found this message on the card. She read it over and over again, her eyes wide.Blaze, who never visited her during those days, sent her flowers with a note! Triana took a look around the room with awe. She was wondering if she was dreaming. Her wandering gaze l
Triana looked around with bewilderment when Blaze strode up the stairs. She expected him to take her out, but he instead took her back to the room. "Aren’t we going out?" She couldn’t help but ask."We will," Blaze responded. "Give me some time to get ready."Triana blushed furiously when she noticed his sly grin. Her question sounded as if she was dying to hang out with him. She pursed her lips and looked aside, mortified.The whispers of the servants from the surroundings grabbed her attention. She perked her ears up to hear what they were saying."Alpha seemed to be interested in her.""Of course… After all, she is beautiful… prettier than our former Luna.""They also look wonderful together.""Will she be our new Luna?"Triana pulled her mind off of their whispers, a bashful smile on her face. Her heart started thudding at the thought of Blaze’s Luna. But the worry clouded in her eyes when Bruno’s face crossed her mind. Her smile had also disappeared.She had heard of Bruno's warn
Knock-Knock…Triana was fixing her make-up when she heard the knock on the door. She slipped the lipstick into her purse and called out, "Come in."An omega came in and bowed to her. "The alpha is expecting you at the restaurant, miss.""Oh…" Triana pouted, a pang of disappointment hitting her heart. She was waiting for Blaze to come back, hoping to go out with him. Instead, he sent an omega to convey the message that he was waiting for her at the restaurant."You are free to leave." She motioned with her hand for him to leave."Pardon me, miss." The omega bowed. "The alpha asked me to escort you to the restaurant. Please come along with me." He gestured for her to follow him."Such a tenacious man," Triana groaned. She wanted to make him wait for her. Blaze had left her with no choice but to follow the omega.She arrived at the restaurant in no time."The alpha is inside." The omega motioned for her to go in.Triana nodded at him before entering.The hall was big, brightly lit by the
Triana shoved his hand away. "Why do you want to go back so soon? I haven’t finished yet." She poured herself another glass of wine and sipped it, a gleeful smile on her face.Blaze was so uneasy that he started sweating. "This woman is going to kill me tonight," he murmured and undid two top buttons on his shirt.The waiter came and bowed to Blaze."Make the bills," Blaze said in an authoritative tone."Mm…" Triana interjected, holding her finger up. "You can come afterward."The waiter looked at her, then glanced back at Blaze.The waiter’s hesitation made Blaze grit his teeth. "Who will you listen to?" He growled. "To your alpha or her?""It's always to you, alpha," the waiter replied without hesitation, bowing."Then do as I say," Blaze snarled.The waiter turned around and walked away in haste."That was rude." Triana sulked, sipping the wine. "I’d like to spend a little more time here." A smile slipped across her face. "The music in the background sounds so pleasant. Why don’t y
Triana leaped to her feet and rushed over to Erica."Erica…" She crouched down beside her and put her hand on her forehead.Erica regained her consciousness."Erica…" Triana pulled her up and took her in her arms. "You scared me to death.""I am safe," Erica exclaimed and hugged her back. "You saved me." Tears rolled down her cheeks. "Where is that witch?"Triana released her and nodded toward Azura."Huh…" Erica inhaled sharply as she saw Azura lying in the pool of blood. "You killed her!""Or else?" Triana smirked."Are you sure she is dead?" Erica was still skeptical. She assumed Azura would get up and attack them."Of course." Triana giggled. "Don’t worry. She is dead.""Oh, my." Erica let out a sigh of relief and put her hand on her chest.In the meantime, the guards rushed over to them.Erica scowled at them and snapped, "Where have you been? You are here to protect us. But you all disappeared when the witch attacked us. I am going to complain to Dario. He will punish you all."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Blaze yelled, his face red with anger. "You plotted against me with that witch to drive Triana out of my life. Why, father? Do you hate me so much? Am I not your son?"Dimitri opened and closed his mouth but couldn’t say a word. He regretted his actions. Simultaneously, he was so ashamed that he couldn’t make eye contact with him."Calm down, Blaze." Edith grabbed his hand and tried to calm him down.Blaze pulled his hand back and snorted."We never knew that Azura was manipulating us," Edith continued. "We believed her when she said that Triana had a curse on her and that she would cause your downfall. We had no idea she was lying to us.""You could have asked me about it," Blaze growled. "But no… You chose to trust that witch rather than your son. Under her influence, you didn't even hesitate to drug me and throw a woman into my bed. At least, you could have thought about my babies. You not only drove her out of my life, but you also chased my
Edith stared at Moana, dumbfounded. At this point, her smile began to fade."You are joking, right?" She mustered a smile."I am not joking. I am serious.""What is the matter?" Edith got up from the bed and walked up to her. "Did Blaze say something to you?""Please try to understand," Moana snarled, flailing her arms. "He adores Triana. He won’t be able to love any woman. This wedding is pointless. It will only bring disaster for us. I don’t want to ruin my life."Edith blinked, perplexed.Moana grabbed her arms and said, "The wedding is not necessary if Azura can heal him. Tell her to find the cure as soon as possible. If he gets recovered, he can live happily with Triana."Edith slowly realized that this marriage would only make Blaze unhappy. She became so concerned about his safety that she didn’t realize she was about to shove him into the abyss of sorrow. At the same time, she was about to ruin Moana’s life."I get it." She nodded in realization. "I will talk to Dimitri.""Tha
A week later…Moana became even more restless when Blaze's parents began to plan the wedding. The guilt in her heart grew stronger every time she noticed Blaze avoiding her.She was well aware that Blaze would never love her. She also knew he wasn't opposing his parents solely out of a feeling of responsibility to her. The truth was that Blaze had not taken her virginity.Moana could no longer hide the truth. She wrote a letter to Triana, explaining everything. She then found someone and paid him to deliver the letter to Triana.In the Blue Moon Pack…Triana was so depressed after leaving Blaze that she became disinterested in everything. She always remained in the bedroom with the babies. She didn't want to talk to anyone, not even Erica.After putting the babies to sleep, she clambered onto the bed and went to sleep in the broad daylight."What is it?" Erica snarled as she entered the room. "Are you going to sleep? Ugh…" She rolled her eyes. "It has been over a week since you got he
Triana went down to the kitchen to get something to eat and ran into Edith. She mustered a smile and greeted her, "Good morning, Mum."Edith hesitated for a while but returned her smile. "Morning. Are the babies awake?""Yes.""I understand you are upset about what happened the day before," Edith murmured. "What was done is done. We can’t change it. What we can do is rectify the mistake. We talked to Blaze and convinced him to marry Moana too. I hope you don't mind."Triana lost her appetite instantly. "Excuse me."She walked out of the kitchen with her head bowed and bumped into Azura.Azura jumped back frantically as if she had collided with something untouchable.Triana frowned as she noticed her staring at her pendant. She clasped the blue gemstone and strode to her room."Luna…"Triana came to a halt when she heard Moana calling her from behind. She slowly turned back, her heart pounding. She was angry and ashamed at the same time.Moana approached her, one step at a time. She fe
Moana jumped to her feet and took a step back, staring fearfully at Blaze.Azura continued chanting in a low voice as she squatted beside him, her hand on his head. She stopped chanting after a while and turned to Dimitri."Put him in the bed," she said as she rose to her feet, her voice scratchy.Dimitri dragged Blaze onto the bed."His condition is getting worse," Azura continued. "The evil wolf grows stronger after consuming Triana’s energy. We need to separate them as soon as possible. I won't be able to cure him otherwise.""No, no, Azura. Don’t say that." Edith grabbed her hands, sobbing. "You are the only hope. Don’t give up on my son.""I will do everything in my power to cure him," Azura assured her. She shifted her attention to Moana. "Get on the bed and lie down next to him... naked.""But nothing has happened between us," Moana retorted.Azura held up her hand, cutting her short. "You don’t h
Blaze arrived earlier than usual. He took a small red box from his pocket and smiled at it. He stuffed it back into his pocket as he strode to the bedroom."Blaze…"Triana rushed over and threw herself onto him as soon as he stepped into the room."Hahaha…" Blaze laughed as he lifted her off her feet. "What makes you happy?""I love you." Triana cupped his face and kissed him."I love you, too," Blaze whispered between the kisses. He put her on the bed and sat down next to her. "What is the matter?""Guess it."Blaze chuckled. "I am an impatient man. I don’t like suspense. Tell me why you are so happy."Triana giggled. "Your mother and father have finally accepted me," she declared. "They are planning our wedding. I am going shopping tomorrow with Erica."Blaze’s smile faded straight away. He found it difficult to believe that his father had agreed to the marriage so easily. He had a hunch that
Several minutes later…Blaze and Triana walked down the hall, hand in hand. Triana blushed furiously as Blaze whispered something in her ear."Your cheeks are red like tomatoes," Blaze murmured. "I'm tempted to bite them.""Stop teasing me." Triana nudged him on his waist, a bashful smile on her face.Edith, who was sitting in the hall, watched them walking down the stairs. She couldn’t help but smile, looking at how happy her son was. Her smile began to wane as she remembered Azura’s warning.Blaze leaned in for a kiss, but Triana resisted, putting her hand on his chest."Behave. Mum is watching us." Triana glanced at Edith.Blaze followed her gaze and saw Edith sitting on the sofa in the hall. A thought immediately came into his mind."Come with me." He took her to the hall."Good morning, Mum." He smiled at her as he sat beside her, pulling Triana down with him."Morning." Edith mustered a smile."Mum..." Blaze took a brief look at Triana before returning his gaze to her. "I am pla
Triana wriggled as she fought to break free. She even slapped and scratched him on the arms. But her struggle grew weaker as he continued kissing her passionately."Mm…" she moaned and kissed him back, in the end, her fingers sliding into his hair.She was still angry with him. She tugged on his hair and bit his bottom lip."Ugh…" Blaze groaned and kissed her harder. He became more aroused as she became more aggressive.He lifted her off her feet and carried her to the bed, his lips still locked on hers. When he dropped her on the bed, her body gently bounced on the mattress.Triana propped herself up with her elbows and gave him a stern look, her mouth set in a grim line. Blaze clambered on the bed and crawled on top of her, his gaze fixed on hers. He could hardly wait to claim her again, but he waited for her response.Triana coiled her arms around his neck and drew him in closer, her face inches away from his. When his warm breath fanned against her face, her eyelashes trembled."W
