Triana kept hugging Blaze, calling his name repeatedly. Blaze groaned occasionally but didn’t open his eyes. Gayle and two guards came in, unlocking the door. They started to remove the wolfbane wrapping around his wrists and ankles. When their skin came into contact with the wolfbane, they winced and whined. Despite this, they repressed the discomfort and swiftly removed the wolfbane."Make some healing paste fast," Triana yelled.Gayle stayed behind to defend Triana while the two guards bolted as soon as they received the command."You should untie him," Triana urged."He can be lethal if he wakes up, Luna." Gayle was still hesitant about setting Blaze free."Do as I say," Triana growled.But Gayle couldn’t disobey Luna. He reluctantly freed Blaze from the shackles. The minute Blaze was freed, he collapsed to the ground. He groaned and twisted for a while as if he was still bound to the chains.Triana and Gayle scooted away as they thought Blaze was regaining his consciousness, thei
"Triana, wake up," Blaze continued to call her, tapping her cheeks. "Open your eyes, please."Gayle, who was guarding outside, barged into the room when he heard Blaze’s shrill cry. A shiver ran down his spine as he saw Triana droop lethargically in Blaze's arms. He assumed Blaze killed her in a fit of rage."What happened to her?" he asked, his voice shaking."She passed out," Blaze murmured, looking at him. "Why is she so pale?"Gayle exhaled a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, 'Oh, moon goddess.'"How do you feel?" He inquired cautiously."I’m fine. But Triana…" Blaze stared at her with concern."Glad to see that you have regained your sanity. All thanks to Luna. She ultimately healed you." Gayle cracked a grin."She healed me!" Blaze regarded him with a squint, skeptical. He had a faint recollection of Triana doing something with him. He looked down at himself with interest, shocked to see that his wounds were healed.Blaze ran his fingers over his chest and arms. Then he to
Blaze stared at Triana speechlessly, eyes wide and mouth agape. He had no idea how to react because it had come so abruptly.Triana anticipated him to squeal and take her in his arms. When she didn't get a reaction from him, she raised her eyes to him, only to see his puzzled look. Her smile started to wane. She pouted and said, "I’m pregnant, Blaze… with your child. Aren’t you happy?""Happy! I’m delighted, Triana," Blaze exclaimed, his face lighting up with a huge grin. "This is the best thing that has ever happened in my life." He drew her into his embrace. "I’m so lucky to have you. You are the source of joy in my life." He bowed and kissed her but pulled back quickly. "When did you find out about your pregnancy?""The day I left for the Blue Moon Pack," Triana murmured. "I wanted to reach out to you, but you sent Moana to persuade me instead of coming yourself." She sulked. "Then the epidemic happened in the pack.""The good thing is that you and the baby are fine." Blaze leaned
Alma nervously paced around the cell. She couldn't get Triana's words out of her mind. She wondered if Triana had found a cure for Blaze. According to Virgil, there was no antidote for the drug. But the confidence in Triana made her suspect that she had something to heal Blaze.She also heard the guards say Blaze was tamed and had moved to his room. This led her to believe that the effects of the drug were waning, making her more restless. She was afraid Blaze would kill her."No. I can’t stay here any longer," she muttered. "I've got to get out of here!"Alma continued to pace, thinking about how to get away from here. She walked up to the door and peeped out. She saw the guards chatting with each other in a relaxed mood.‘Of course, they will relax now.’ She snickered.The security was loosened a little since Blaze was not in the dungeon. Alma grew hopeful. She would use the opportunity to get out of here. Her face revealed an evil grin. But her smile didn't last long as she pondere
Silence swept across the hospital the moment Blaze stepped into the hospital. Everyone stared at him with fear and astonishment. They stepped far aside from him as he moved forward. They were further puzzled when they heard him talking normally with Gayle. Some even praised Gayle for his courage.Blaze headed straight to the emergency room, with Gayle following close behind. The doctor and nurse in the ER trembled in fear."Are you the one who attended Alma?" Blaze asked, his fiery eyes set on the doctor. He recognized this young doctor. It was the doctor who had treated Alma."Take him to the dungeon," Blaze growled fiercely. "I have some questions to ask."Gayle grasped his neck from behind as soon as he got the order."I didn’t do anything, Alpha," the doctor began to cry aloud. "It was not me. She was in the ER when Alma was brought here. " He pointed to the nurse."I didn't do anything either," the nurse said with a shake of her head. "I didn't even have time to look her over. Sh
Gayle grabbed a pail of water from the corner of the cell and splashed it on him."Ah…" Lupin woke up with a jolt. He grimaced as a searing sensation spread across his body. He blinked several times and glanced up. When he spotted Blaze standing in front of him, a shudder rushed down his spine. He imagined Blaze transforming into a beast and tearing him apart."Let me go," he cried at the top of his lungs, wiggling even more frantically. "Please let me go.""Of course, I'll set you free," Blaze scoffed and moved towards him. "Answer my question, and you will gain your freedom. Don't even think of lying to me. Lie to me, and I will kill you."Lupin regarded him with a frown as if he couldn't understand how Blaze could talk like a sane person. He wondered how Blaze recovered from the effects of the drug so quickly."Where is Alma?" Blaze asked."Oh… So, she escaped." Lupin smirked. "She is quite astute… more qualified than you to be the alpha."Buff…Blaze punched him right in the face.
After meeting with Dario, Blaze returned to his bedroom. He found Triana coming out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her torso. He regarded her from head to toe, a lascivious grin on his face. Her sleek, long legs drew his attention. He wanted to part her legs and take her wildly. This thought was enough to make his crotch stiffen."How come you didn't wait for me to shower?" He asked as he approached her. "We could have soaked together." He drew her to his chest and kissed the water droplets on her shoulder."I expected you to take a long time," Triana murmured."Hmm…" Blaze continued to kiss her neck. "I cannot be away from you for long.""Blaze…""Hmm…" He continued to lick her neck and nip her ear."Why did Gayle call you all of a sudden? Is everything okay?"Blaze stopped kissing her. He sagged on the bed, letting out a sigh.His grim look troubled Triana. "What is the matter?" She asked as she sat down beside him."Alma got away," Blaze murmured dejectedly."How?" Tri
Blaze came out of the bathroom after freshening up. He swiftly changed into his pajamas and clambered onto the bed. He slid under the blanket and wrapped his arm around her."I am so sorry, darling," he whispered. "I couldn’t make it earlier." He kissed the top of her head."Mm…" Triana turned to him and snuggled into his arms. "Stop apologizing. You have done nothing wrong. I went to bed early.""Oh, sweetheart. I didn’t mean to wake you up." He kissed her brow. "Sleep. You must be tired.""Hmm…" Triana nodded feebly. She inched a bit closer to him and pecked his lips.Blaze chuckled and kissed her sweetly and softly, his hand holding her head.Triana kissed him passionately, her fingers buried in his hair."Baby… I won’t be able to control myself if you continue kissing me like this," Blaze murmured in a husky tone, his thumb brushing over her cheek."I don’t want you to control," Triana whispered back, a sneaky grin on her face."Are you sure?" Blaze arched his eyebrows in astonish
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
