Alisha‘s POVI looked at my hands, and tears began to well up in my eyes. Not long ago, I used these hands to touch and embrace Magaly, feeling her warmth, but now as I clenched my fists, there was nothing left...The wind brushed against my face, carrying away the tears threatening to fall.I left the Golden Crest, left Archie, and finally, I put an end to this wrong and miserable marriage with my own hands. I should be smiling, celebrating my new life, but my heart was filled with bitterness. I had invested so much love and emotion into a marriage that ended in tragedy.I knew Louie and Gray were willing to take care of me, and I was grateful, but I also knew I couldn't continue being this weak.Back when I was with the Black Furies, I relied on Magaly's protection and care. Later, facing Joey and Evita, I wasn't strong enough, allowing them to think I was easy to bully, ultimately leading to Magaly's involvement and trouble.After marrying Archie, I comfortably became his wife, jus
Archie‘s POVAlthough I knew my wolf made a valid point, that I should immediately catch up to Alisha to confirm if she was indeed my mate, for some reason, I remained standing there, taking no action.My wolf persisted, urging me, "What are you standing around for? Move, now!"But I remained impassive, rooted to the spot, like a statue.My wolf howled, and I felt like it might just burst out on its own in the next second. "Damn it, Archie, is there something wrong with your brain? I have explained everything, why are you standing here cluelessly! That's our mate!"Frustrated, I tugged at my hair and then sat down on the floor, gasping for breath. "Stop howling. I won't go see her. Since she has chosen to betray me herself, how can I still have to look for her?""You are being a complete idiot! What did you do to make Alisha so angry that she decided to break up with you?"Upon hearing this, I punched the floor. "It's all her fault! She must wanted to leave the Golden Crest long ago,
Alisha's POVComing back to Blood Dawn for the second time, my feelings were completely different than before. The last time, I was forced to accompany Archie here, and I encountered danger because of some rogues. It was thanks to Louie's timely rescue that I managed to leave the Dark Forest alive.Reflecting on it now, every time I faced danger, Archie wasn't by my side. In reality, I should have seen my place in his heart clearly. I foolishly held onto the illusion of this marriage, believing that patience and love could win him over, hoping that someday he would fall in love with me. But after two years, all I got was a heart as lifeless as ashes.In his eyes, anyone or anything else was more important than me; I was merely a burden to him. It is a pity I didn't realize this reality sooner, wasting my emotions and Magaly's life.Thinking about all this, my mood indeed soured. Gray seemed to notice and gently patted my shoulder, saying, "Forget about the unhappy things from before,
Alisha's POVI followed Gray into Blood Dawn and immediately encountered a brown-haired man—tall, muscular—with a prominent scar running from his left eye to the right side of his mouth. Though the scar seemed superficial, it still gave him an exceptionally fierce and intimidating appearance.Gray introduced me: "Alisha, this is Riley Karnes, Blood Dawn's Beta, a reliable and strong werewolf. You used to play together when you were kids."Did he saw me when I was little? While Riley raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled; clearly, he didn't recognize me at all.I blinked and gently shook my head. Although Gray firmly believed I was his sister, I remained deeply skeptical. "Sorry, I... I don't remember... I mean, I don't recall him, or you, Gray."However, Gray wasn't disheartened by my response. He smiled. "It's not your fault, Alisha. You don't need to apologize. Trust me, everything will be okay." Then, turning to Riley, he continued, "Buddy, this is Alisha. Her identity remains confide
Alisha's POVHearing Orathe's words, I felt it was too unbelievable, as if I were dreaming.In my knowledge and memory, all normal werewolves could shift into wolves. Joey could, Evita could, Archie could, Erma could, everyone could—except me. I had been looked down upon by others, and Evita even threatened several times to kick me out of Black Furies because my existence brought shame to the whole pack.For so many years, I had lived in the disdain and mockery of others, always feeling useless. But today, someone actually told me that I had my own wolf, and it was powerful an
Alisha's POVAlthough I despised Joey immensely, I was still startled by Orathe's assertive words. "Actually, there is no need to make a fuss about this..."Orathe gently shook her head, "Honey, while I appreciate Black Furies adopting and taking care of you, you need to understand that you are my supreme treasure, and no one can offend you. I will repay them for their kindness, but I will not tolerate any harm they caused you.""But I wasn't adopted. Magaly is really my grandmother! She…" I realized that Orathe had misunderstood it.Before I could finish, Orathe interrupted, "What are you saying? How did you meet your real grandmother? After you were... abducted from Blood Dawn, I searched for you for a long time and couldn't find you. Some even thought you were no longer in this world... I thought later you were rescued by people from Black Furies and adopted. Moon Goodness, how did your grandma find you? Wait! Is your father also in Black Furies? How is he now?"I could clearly fee
Alisha's POVI had the dream again, the same recurring dream. Beneath the boundless black night sky, dazzling flames ravaged through the forest. I maneuvered through the scaring, towering trees, running ceaselessly in the dark woods.My lungs felt as if they were about to explode, yet I dared not stop, for the howls of wolves and pursuing footsteps echoed relentlessly behind me. I knew that if I halted, I might never get another chance to rise.My strength was ebbing away, and it seemed I could run no more. Accidentally tripping over something, I fell to the ground. Pain shot through my legs and chest. I felt as if something vital was draining from my body.The wolf chasing me from behind seemed to have noticed, charging at me just as its fangs were about to pierce my throat. Suddenly, an amazing white wolf descended from the sky, slamming into the pursuing wolf, diverting its course.Gazing into the familiar eyes of that white wolf, my heart seemed to stop beating..."Alisha, I'm bac
Archie's POVAll werewolves can shift into wolves, but I am an exception. I first realized I was different from others when I was eight.At that time, my father, the Alpha of Golden Crest, was out for patrol in the territory, and enemies seized the opportunity to launch an attack on our pack. My little brother and I were spotted by the enemy, with only a few guards by our side. The only luck thing was that there were just several werewolves enemies, so I instructed the guards to take my brother and run while I and the remaining few engaged in combat to buy time.As the enemy's claws sent the small sword in my hand flying, I knew I was defeated. But unwilling to surrender my life so easily, at the last moment, I forced a special strength out of my body-a little wolf appeared behind the enemy all of a sudden in the air. Seizing the opportunity, it clamped onto the enemy's neck, refusing to let go despite their struggles.Taking advantage, I grabbed my fallen sword and pierced the enemy'
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
