Bruno stopped talking for a while, collecting his thoughts."I almost killed Helena for helping you escape the Black Moon Pack," he continued. "She cried and pleaded for mercy. She promised she would never conspire against you or me. But she broke her promise. She conspired with Alma to kill you. She always wanted to control me. I had no choice but to kill her and Duncan. How could I let them go without punishment? I have lost my love because of them. I couldn’t forgive them this time.""Wow! You are trying to show me how concerned you are for me." Triana shook her head. "I can’t believe this. You killed her. Helena did all this for you. She loved you.""But I don't love her," Bruno retorted. "She used me to get rid of you. All she wanted was power and authority. She was just like Alma. She could use anyone to achieve her goal. She wanted to keep me as a pawn in her hands. I am not her puppet. I was weak at first. But I gained power and position with my hard work. I wanted to be with
They took a shower together after their morning love-making session. Blaze put her back on the bed. "Sleep for a while," he murmured, kissing her on the forehead.He turned to go to the closet.Triana grabbed his wrist and pulled him to a halt. "Stay with me." She smiled coquettishly.Blaze’s lips quirked into a mischievous grin. "Don’t do that. It’s quite difficult for me to keep my desire in check. Besides, I have to attend an important meeting with the allied alphas." He drew his hand back and went into the closet."Are you going to be late again today?" Triana asked, glancing at the closet."Maybe or may not be. I can't say anything right now."Triana let out a sigh and lay flat on her back, her eyes fixed on the ceiling. "I feel bored.""Have fun with Erica," Blaze said as he put on his clothes. "You can go shopping if you want.""Hmm…" Triana nodded. Her dresses were not fitting her lately since she had put on some weight. "I can do that. But try to come back early.""I will." B
As they got closer to the council, they encountered several large and small groups of ambushes. They fought fiercely and killed the enemy soldiers.Blaze began to suspect that there was a mole on his team. He called Dario separately and said in a hushed tone, "We have a mole in our team. Stay alert, and don’t trust anybody, especially the newly allied alphas.""What are you talking about? They looked so enthusiastic about the battle. You are not mistaking, are you?""I am not mistaken," Blaze hissed, his nose wrinkled. "The same thing happened a few months ago when I went to attack the rogue gang. I am certain the council has planted a spy among us. It could be a single person or a group of people. We must stay alert. And inform your soldiers about it. Send someone to warn the alphas, who are on their way to seizing the neighboring packs.""I get it." Dario nodded as he figured out the gravity of the situation. "I will send someone." He walked away.Blaze stood there, watching ahead i
Blaze became restless after Dario left. He grew worried about his brother. At the same time, he got increasingly furious. The war had been going on for two weeks. However, he had yet to seize control of the council. The death toll went up day by day. The conspiracy of the council also thickened as the war progressed.Blaze became impatient. He wanted to end the war as soon as possible. He couldn’t wait to kill Virgil.As his anger intensified, his wolf became more ferocious. It growled in his head, ready to take control."I will go finish it tonight," Blaze roared and transformed into his wolf form before he could finish the sentence.The soldiers, who were resting, also sprang to their feet and followed him.Blaze rushed to the enemy's camp, his eyes glowing red. He gashed and ripped each of them, who rushed over to him. He was not in a position to think sanely at the moment. All he wanted was to kill anyone who dared to challenge him.His unexpected attack caught the enemy soldiers
The battle was almost over. The majority of the council soldiers got killed. No one could come to help Virgil since Dario had managed to block the reinforcements at the border.The soldiers encircled the packhouse and captured Virgil. They made him kneel in front of Dario.Virgil glared at him with loathing."Eyes down," Dario roared. "Your game is over, Virgil.""My game is not over yet," Virgil sneered. "This battle will soon turn in my favor.""Dream on. All the soldiers that Alpha Laurel sent got killed at the border. No one is coming to your aid."Virgil burst out laughing.Dario frowned, perplexed. He exchanged a curious glance with Gayle."Alpha Laurel… Hahaha…" Virgil couldn’t stop laughing. "Didn't you know he and his entire army were killed?"Dario frowned even harder when he realized Virgil had tricked them yet again.Virgil stopped laughing, his expression turning gloomy. "Poor Laurel… He wouldn’t have gotten killed if he had accepted my offer."Gayle swooped down on him a
"You are blessed with boys." Erica’s low voice from behind drew her attention. She glanced at her over her shoulder."They are so adorable," Triana murmured. She had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were full of tears."Hmm…" Erica held her shoulders from behind, resting her chin on her shoulder. "Watching your babies, I also desire to have my own child.""You should plan for the baby then." Triana glanced at her, holding her hand."I will talk to Dario when he returns." Erica giggled. But her smile faded gradually, and her face clouded with worry. "When will the war be over?""Soon," Triana murmured. She gave her a reassuring smile even though she was worried. She sat on the bed with one baby in her arms. "They will be back soon," she said as she began nursing the baby.************************************************************************Blaze and his troops successfully seized the neighboring packs. The majority of the enemy soldiers were killed, and the remaining warriors surr
"Let me see my nephews," Dario said in a hushed tone as he entered the room. He grinned, looking at the baby in Blaze’s arms. "Can I take him?"Blaze handed him the baby."Oh…" Dario's hands began to shake as he worried about dropping the baby. "He is so small. I am scared to hold him.""Hand him over to me." Erica reached out her hands to him."Let me hold him for a while." Dario scowled at Erica and turned aside. His smile resumed as he looked back at the baby. "Awe… He has a striking resemblance to Blaze." He then looked at the other baby in the crib. "Oh, they are identical. Wow! We have got three Blazes with us."They couldn’t help but smile at his remark."We should go out," Erica urged. "They will wake up if we keep talking here.""Let’s go, let’s go." Dario put the baby in the crib.They all left the room and walked down the hall together.As soon as they entered the hall, Dario recounted how they had won the battle. He couldn’t stop praising Blaze.Blaze looked aside, feeling
"Blaze…" Triana called him, her voice barely audible. She stretched her hand to shake him, but her hand paused a few inches away from his arm when she saw him looking at her. Her heart trembled as she looked into his fiery red eyes.Triana jumped off the bed and exclaimed, "Blaze…"Blaze came to his sanity in an instant. His eyes returned to their original black color as he blinked once. It was as though his eyes were never glowing red."Triana…" He sat up abruptly, frowning."Y-Your eyes…" Triana pointed at him, taking a step back. She couldn’t stop her hands from shaking. "Those were red."Blaze’s heart dropped into the pit of his stomach. He just had the nightmare of the red-eyed beast. He had no idea how Triana had learned about it."What are you talking about?" He asked, pretending to be surprised. He was hesitant to reveal the truth because he was afraid Triana would become tense."I saw 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
