The next morning…Blaze exited the room, his left arm around Triana’s waist.Triana murmured, "You don’t have to walk me to the hospital.""I'll be busy all day. Let me stay with you a bit longer." Blaze kissed her on the top of her head.As they walked down the hallway, Alma approached them. "Good morning." She flashed a smile. "You must be Triana. Nice to see you. I’m Alma, Blaze’s ex-wife."She extended her hand to her.Triana’s smile faded. Her gaze shifted from her hand to her face. Blaze grew uneasy, looking at her glum face."Just because I let you stay here doesn't mean you're free to talk to Triana," Blaze growled with a clear warning in his eyes."Don’t be angry." Alma still put on a smile, as if unaffected by his harsh words. "I just wanted to say hello. After all, she is the Luna, and I’m staying at the packhouse. It’s my obligation to greet her and show her my respect."Triana retorted coldly, "You are not obliged to anything."Alma chuckled and focused on Blaze. "I’m goi
A week had passed by. Blaze became busier as his plan to destroy the rogue gang reached its final preparation stage. Triana also didn’t care if Blaze spent time with her. She spent the whole day at the hospital and returned after nightfall. Then she went to rest without waiting for Blaze. They barely had any conversation.Alma was aware of their growing distance. She took advantage of the situation to sow discord between them.Blaze grew tired after a long meeting and couldn't concentrate on the pending paperwork. He leaned back in his chair and pressed his fingers against his brow, his eyes closed.Alma glanced at him, a cunning thought emerging in her mind. She walked up to him with a sinister smile on her face."Let me give you a massage."She stood right behind Blaze’s chair and began to massage his shoulders."There is no need." Blaze sat up straight.Alma pulled him back. "You need this, Blaze. I can tell you are exhausted. Remember how I used to massage you whenever you came ho
Triana came back to the packhouse and curled up into a ball on the bed, tears seeping through the corner of her eyes. She considered herself unlucky. First, she fell in love with Bruno, who turned out to be a cheater. Then she found her mate. She assumed tranquility had resumed in her life. But that turned out to be her erroneous assumption. Her mate accused her of deception.She began to sob harder, pressing her face against the pillow. "Why did you let Alma come between us?" she lamented.Triana fell asleep after crying for a long time.The next morning…Her sleep was disturbed when the early morning light flooded the room. When she turned to look at the other side of the bed, she discovered it was empty. The bedsheet on that side was smooth without any sign of a crease. She realized that Blaze hadn’t returned last night. This made her even more depressed. At the same time, she became enraged, assuming that he might spend the night with Alma.Triana didn’t want to spend a second her
Blaze remained supine on the sofa in his office, his hands under his head, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. He hadn’t slept at all the last night.He'd been so enraged after returning from the hospital that he'd spent half the night training on the ground. Triana's smile and conversation with the doctor had been replaying in the back of his mind.Then those scathing words…Those pierced his heart like needles. He had never anticipated that Triana would say something like that.Blaze had been so enraged that he didn't want to see her face. So, he had spent the night at the office instead of going back to the bedroom.Alma and Gayle had both tried to talk to him, but he had slammed the door in their faces.He'd been lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, ever since. He had considered returning to the room to check on Triana several times. But his ego had prevented him from doing so. He had reasoned that Triana should first apologize for saying such harsh words.Blaze had attempted to
Triana was taken aback when she learned she was pregnant. Then a wave of joy spread throughout her. She reached out to caress her tummy. A new life was taking shape within her. It was an overwhelming feeling. She smiled, but her eyes turned glassy. She began to miss Blaze terribly at this point. She wished she could run over to him and tell him she was pregnant.Pregnant…Then she remembered that Alma was also expecting Blaze’s child. Her smile started to wane gradually. The way Blaze had accused her of cheating, it seemed as if he had no faith in her. He could also say the child was not his. This notion made Triana even more depressed. She couldn’t stop the tears from falling."Hey, why are you crying?" The doctor asked. She had a sweet smile on her face. "This is the time to rejoice. You need to take care of your mental and emotional well-being. If you stay down, the baby will be grumpy."Triana pulled a smile over her face, wiping her tears away. "These are tears of joy," she murmu
Triana remained on the bed, her hand constantly rubbing her tummy. She couldn't get the incident at the hospital out of her mind. Tony's mother's remarks were still resonating in her ears. Triana would never believe she had a healing ability. Yet, she couldn't help but think about the possibilities. What if she had such an ability?Then she wondered why she hadn't realized she had this power until now. If she possessed the ability to heal, why couldn't she heal Blaze when she found him injured in the woods?"This has to be a coincidence," she murmured and shifted her weight to the other side.Triana remembered Moana expressing that she felt invigorated when she held her hands. Blaze and Gayle claimed Moana pretended to be sick at the time. Triana hadn’t taken it seriously. She began to wonder if she genuinely had healing abilities. Some incidents from her childhood passed through her mind while she pondered.Flashback…Triana was in the backyard with Helena and some other friends, pla
The commotion in the packhouse caught Triana by surprise. Everyone appeared to be in a state of panic. The men ran out in a hurry, while the women locked the kids in the room. It seemed as if the pack was under attack.Triana looked for Moana but didn’t see her anywhere. Then she went to find Erica. She noticed her in the kitchen with several other ladies, making herbal pastes and concoctions. Moana was also there."Erica…" she called her out."Triana…" Erica dashed over to her. She grabbed her arms and said anxiously, "We are in great trouble. An infectious disease has spread all over the pack. The hospital is overflowing with patients. There is a shortage of doctors and nurses to treat patients. Dario gave the order to lock the packhouse. Don’t go out anywhere, alright?""What type of disease is it?" Triana asked. "It had all been okay since the day before.""I have no idea. Yuri came in the early morning and briefed us on the situation. Dario left with him in a hurry. He hasn't bee
Blaze was getting ready for an important meeting for the upcoming attack on the rogue gang. The ink in his pen had run out. He pulled out the drawer and rummaged through it, looking for a pen. He found the blue gemstone pendant instead of a pen. It was only then that he remembered taking it from Triana to repair the chain. But he got so busy dealing with rogue issues that he forgot about it completely.Blaze took the chain and peered at the pendant, his mind racing to Triana. He missed her."Why did you leave me?" He muttered as he brushed his thumb across the gemstone.He hoped he could put everything aside and rush to see her. Then he wondered whether Moana had managed to persuade her."Humph… How is she going to persuade her?" he muttered dejectedly.Blaze began to regret sending Moana, believing that such a foolish woman couldn’t do anything.Knock-Knock…He called, "Come in," shoving the pendant back into the drawer.Gayle came in with several warriors. They took their seats arou
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
