Alisha's POVI never expected that these she-wolves were actually discussing Archie, and to my surprise, they were talking about his performance in bed! Hahaha! Now it seemed that they all knew Archie was impotent! I had a strong suspicion that this news came from Blue Lake. Thanks to those two "gifts"-who had no manners and were so arrogant. Nevertheless, I had to admit, I was grateful for their loose tongues this time.It was such a big surprise to hear rumors about Archie's sexual abilities in this occasion. I couldn't help but chuckle secretly. Compared with Archie, who brought this upon himself by fooling around with Erma, I just told a little lie. What’s more, in the end, it was his mother, Stephenie, who was to blame. If she hadn't brought those she-wolves from Blue Lake to the Golden Crest, this rumor might never have spread in the first place. It was all interconnected, and I couldn't help but find some twisted amusement in the situation.I
Alisha's POVMy heart was racing as Archie's words hung in the air, and I felt a mix of shock and disbelief. How could he ask me to say such a private thing in front of all these people? The embarrassment washed over me like a tidal wave, leaving me flushed and speechless. And I could feel the weight of everyone's eyes on us. It was too humiliating.Archie, seemingly oblivious to my discomfort, held onto my waist affectionately and suddenly changed his tone, "My dear, you know the truth better than anyone else. Don't you want to help me prove it?"His words were laced with sweetness, but they made me feel more uneasy.. I couldn't understand what had gotten into Archie. Was he losing his mind due to the rumors? Why was he suddenly speaking so tenderly? It was unsettling, and I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that crept over me.I shot him a stern look, trying to have him stop making a scene. Especially with Louie and Gray watching us, I dreaded the weird impr
Alisha's POVArchie led me out of the grand banquet hall, and as we made our way through the bustling crowd, I could feel curious gazes following us. Brad and Suzy flanked us, their presence offering a semblance of security in the midst of the unfamiliar werewolf territory. The soft murmur of conversations and the clinking of glasses gradually faded as we stepped outside, the cool night air a stark contrast to the warmth of the festivities.Nestled in the car, I watched the world pass by through the window, my thoughts a whirlwind of emotions. The events of the evening had left me both puzzled and intrigued. Why had Archie chosen to say those words in front of the crowd? Was it because my response really have pleased him so much? Was he willing to publicly defend me as a gesture of gratitude? I pondered these questions, my mind a labyrinth of uncertainty.After all, he had confronted Erma with those words, infuriating her to the point where she might have wanted to tear me apart. Thin
Alisha's POVGray's voice, warm and concerned, flowed through the phone line. "Are you feeling any better?" His unexpected call made me surprised, momentarily stealing my words.After a brief pause, I replied, still processing the surprise. "Yes, I'm doing better now. Thank you for reaching out," my voice tinged with a mix of gratitude and curiosity. I really wondered how he get my number.His empathy was palpable as he continued, "I deeply regret the harm you suffered in the Dark Forest. Rogues rarely dare to venture out due to the protective measures we have in place—Seals and warrior patrols. Yet, with many of our members preoccupied by the ceremony last night, we might have faced a manpower shortage, failing to detect the rogue's departure promptly. As the Alpha, I should apologize for your bad experience in Blood Dawn."I assured him, "Please, Gray, don't blame yourself. Louie protected me, so there's no need to carry that burden. And I must extend my apologies for the chaos at y
Archie's POVObserving the genuine discomfort etched across Alisha's features as she reluctantly consumed the medicine in the video Mireya had forwarded, a twinge of discomfort tugged at my heart. I took a moment to ponder before initiating a private mindlink conversation with Brad, "I remember Alisha once expressed interest in a Porsche sports car, but she didn't buy it. After this meeting, prepare one for her."Then I switched to texting Alisha, aiming to convey my approval and encouragement. "Good, Alisha. I prepare a gift tonight."As I stared at my phone screen, three minutes s
Alisha's POVI regarded him with a furrowed brow, a mixture of curiosity and concern tugging at my features. "Go see Shaunda? Why so suddenly? Didn't we just visit her last month? Has something happened to her?" Despite the complexities of my feelings towards Archie, one constant remained—I owed his grandmother, Shaunda, a debt of gratitude. It was she who had chosen me as Archie's wife, providing the means to break free from Joey's control and securing better medical care for my own grandmother.Shaunda didn't live with us; she inhabited a tranquil island, seeking solitude and peace. Moreover, she rarely summoned us for visits. This unexpected request stirr
Archie’s POVThe poignant ache that tightly gripped my heart as I saw Alisha's tear-streaked countenance. Since Alisha married me, she always smiled at me, like a cute chattering songbird flitting around me, telling me jokes and keeping me entertained, filling my space with laughter and lightheartedness. Sometimes, I found her constant chatter irritating and noisy, so amid her endless prattle, I hoped she could be quieter.However, I didn’t know why our interactions began to shift. Lately, every encounter with Alisha seemed to escalate into conflict, arguments, and her tears. Now, Alisha was like an intricate canvas, painted with the hues of emotional scars, a striking contrast to the happy bird I had come to know. The vibrant aura of her laughter had dimmed, replaced by eyes simmering with a medley of emotions – a symphony of resentment and defiance that seemed to echo in the quiet space between us.I had convinced myself that her mood was just off lately and needed time to adjust, b
Alisha’s POVAs Gray materialized before me, a shock of astonishment rippled through me. How was it possible for him to be here, at this very moment? Swiftly collecting my puzzlements, I offered a courteous greeting, "Hi, Gray. I've come to visit my grandmother, Shaunda."Before I could delve deeper into conversation with Gray, my attention refocused entirely on the person who mattered most in that instant—Shaunda. With haste, I crouched beside her chair, my voice infused with both concern and eagerness, "Grandma, are you feeling alright? Is there any discomfort? Have you consulted the doctor? Would you like to return to Golden Crest? The Pack's skille
Alisha's POVI saw under the night sky, my pack was covered in flames everywhere, and the air was filled with the constant cries of pain. My warriors were being attacked by rogues, their blood staining the ground, but they remained fearless, bravely picking up their weapons to continue the fight.However, the rogues seemed to possess an undead-like ability. They were shrouded in an ominous black mist, making them seemingly impervious to attacks. Even when bleeding, they felt no pain or avoidance. These rogues had become pure fighting machines.Gray and Orathe activated the Dyess fam
Alisha's POVThe intense pain left my body numb, but for some reason, my consciousness remained clear. The next moment, a black wolf broke through the window, biting into half of Louie's body, causing him to collapse to the ground.I even heard the sound of bones being crushed. Louie's hand was pulled out of my body, and blood spurted out, staining the entire carpet red.My wolf immediately transitioned from the Bay to reality and began healing me. I heard the sound of blood flowing out of my chest, the angry growls of the black wolf, and people downstairs rushing up upon hearing th
Archie's POVAfter I woke up, I saw Shaunda's concerned expression. "How do you feel, Archie?""I'm okay. Where am I?" I tried to lift my hand to rub my forehead but felt a sharp pain in my arm. The memories of what happened earlier flooded back, and my expression darkened."Don't move. Your wounds are deep; you need rest," Shaunda quickly stopped my actions. "We were planning to go back to Golden Crest, but your injuries were too severe. We had to find a place to treat your wounds temporarily. You had a high fever and were talking nonsense all night. It scared me. If your condition
Archie's POVI was carried away from Blood Dawn by my wolf, blood oozing from my wounds. Yet, the physical pain couldn't compare to the agony in my heart. My heart was dead; how could my body still feel?Alisha's determined face as she stabbed me haunted me. The piercing coldness seeped through every pore when I recalled that moment. She was willing to kill me for another man—her husband, as she emphasized. Husband, a title I once scoffed at, now tore me apart.My wolf seemed distraught too, incessantly muttering and complaining in my mind. "What have you done this time?" "I a
Alisha's POVAfter the wedding ceremony, considering Louie's health, I chose not to attend the evening party. With Nova's assistance, I changed out of my wedding gown and took Louie back to the room to rest.Tonight was the first night of our marriage, and as we entered the room, I felt a hint of nervousness. On the night I married Archie, he didn't sleep with me; instead, he slept in a guest room. Now, looking at our bridal chamber, I felt a bit lost.Louie seemed to sense my nervousness. He comfortingly smiled at me and said, "Sorry, because of me, you can't join the evening gathe
Archie's POVI had fantasized countless times about what my mate had described as her wolf. I wondered what it would look like. Now I knew. It was the most wonderful creature in the world, a gift from Moon Goodness to this world. Moonlight fell on its pure white fur, making it shimmer as if it had walked out of a fairy tale.I opened my mouth, staring motionlessly at the white wolf not far ahead. Its eyes, as clear and beautiful as jewels, met mine, and a breeze carried a delightful scent from its fur. It was the light in this dark world.With just one glance, I knew it must be Alis
Alisha's POVI never thought Archie would appear at my wedding. Why is he here? My palms were instantly soaked with cold sweat.Louie kept staring at me, noticing my tension and unease. He took my hand, holding it firmly as if trying to warm me. In a soft whisper, he reassured me, "I'm here. Don't worry."I tried to ignore the piercing glances behind me, following Gray's guidance with a stiff body, step by step, until I stood opposite him.Before me was Louie's face, but in my mind, Archie's face flas
Archie's POVI looked at the person in disbelief, and it turned out to be Louie! He was dressed in a suit, and although he looked a bit pale, he seemed lively, radiating joy. Yes, today he was going to marry Alisha, how could he not be happy?What were my feelings when I was going to marry Alisha before? I seemed to have forgotten, and back then, Alisha was just a command from Shaunda to me. I didn't care at that time, and I don't even have memories of our wedding.Thinking about it now, it fills me with profound bitterness. If there were a time machine, I would definitely go back and tell my indifferent self: you will fall in love with your bride; please treat her well from now on.Unfortunately, time doesn't rewind. Now, I could only, in regret, watch Louie in a groom's suit approach me step by step. I felt like a defeated person, trying to maintain pride and dignity in front of the winner.Upon hearing Louie's words, Gray frowned and said to Louie, "Why are you here? Go back and pr
Archie's POVHowever, as I was about to enter Blood Dawn, a shout suddenly came, "Stop!"I followed the voice and found Gray. I frowned and then calmly explained, "I'm here to attend... to attend the wedding." It was really hard for me to speak out this answer.Gray hurried over, shook his head at me, and said, "Today is an important day for Alisha. I don't want to fight with you at this moment. So be sensible and leave on your own."His voice was cold and full of hostility. I knew about his relationship with Alisha, so from his perspective, he had a reason not to like me. But regardless, today I must see Alisha, and no one, not even her brother, can stop me."I mean no harm. I know my actions hurt Alisha, and I just want to see her and apologize.""Put away that disgusting face of yours. Alisha is about to start her new life, and she doesn't need your apology or to see you again. Leave immediately!"Though I was prepared, hearing this response was
