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'
Archie's POVI couldn't believe what I heard and asked the girl excitedly and nervously, "What did you say? Your wolf can exist independently too?"She nodded, her face filled with surprise and excitement, "You are the first man I have met who also has an independent wolf! Although my mom and brother say I am a unique miracle, I have always been worried about being different from other kids. Now that I have met you, I feel relieved! Can we be friends? And maybe our wolves can be friends too!"Hearing her response, I thanked Moon Goodness for the first time. There was someone else in the world just like me, and she wanted to be friends! In my cold world, it felt like a ray of sunshine had penetrated through.I nodded gently."That's great! After we get out, I will definitely introduce you to my family! You will like my mom and brother!"Seeing her excited smile, I felt a rush of happiness in my heart. I realized how happy it felt to find someone of the "same kind". However, I felt a li
Archie's POVFacing the ruthless pursuers behind us, I glanced at the girl I had recently met; it was evident she and her servant were nearly exhausted. So, I gritted my teeth and made a decision.I swiftly scanned the surroundings, found a concealed tree hollow, and ushered the girl toward it. "Get in quickly!"The girl looked panicked, "Come in with me. This tree hollow is big enough for us—""I and my wolf, along with your servant, will split up to flee, responsible for diverting the enemies. Hide immediately, don't make any noise. I will use leaves and grass to camouflage the entrance. Once we have gotten rid of the pursuers, I will come back for you!""But—"Without waiting for her to say anything else, I forcefully pushed her into the tree hollow, used branches to cover the entrance, concealing her scent. "Don't come out! Listen to me; don't waste my efforts, otherwise, all three of us will die here."The girl tearfully gave up struggling.Then, the trembling servant spoke up fo
Alisha's POVHearing my decision to take revenge on Erma personally, Orathe didn't insist on sending someone to capture Erma immediately for execution. She just gently touched my hair and said, "You can do whatever you want, don't worry. I've got your back."Hearing Orathe's words, I felt a long-lost sense of relaxation. The feeling that someone has your back no matter what you do is really amazing.Gray looked at me, seemingly wanting to say something but eventually stayed silent.I felt puzzled, so I asked, "What's wrong, Gray?"Gray glanced at Orathe and then, as if determined, asked me, "Alisha, from what you have told, is the boy you met named Archie the … the same person I know?"Upon hearing this question, I remained silent for a moment, looking down at the blanket, feeling a wave of pain and sadness. Indeed, I hadn't expected that Archie and I had met so early on, even helping each other through danger.Unfortunately, I lost my memory afterward, and he apparently didn't recogn
Alisha's POV Joey, seeing Evita's plight, rushed forward to stop me. He reached out, attempting to snatch the whip from my hand while angrily shouting, "Who gave you the audacity to do this in the Black Furies?" Seeing Joey's actions, Gray and Louie, who were standing behind me, stepped forward, positioning themselves in front of me to prevent Joey from getting closer. Gray advanced towards Joey, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty glare. He displayed a cruel smile and said, "Alisha is our Blood Dawn's princess; she can do whatever she pleases. As for you, daring to harm her, I will end you today!" Joey, feeling threatened, stuttered, "She is...how could she be..." "Kneel down and repent, you scum!" Just as Gray was about to act, I stopped him, "Gray, let me handle this. We agreed that I would take revenge myself." Hearing my words, Gray paused, turned back slightly, and nodded, saying, "Alright, I will follow your command, my princess." Joey, with a pale face, shouted,
Archie's POVEver since the moment when my bond with Alisha was established in one instant and shattered the next, causing me to black out, I locked myself in the room, lying on Alisha's bed, immersed in sorrow.I realized I had committed a serious and irreparable mistake. All this time, due to Alisha not having a wolf, we couldn't establish a true bond, and I failed to recognize her as the mate I had been searching for.When she regained her strength and got her wolf back, the delayed bond between us finally emerged, deeply connecting our hearts. But before I could fully experience that wondrous and magical feeling, our bond ruptured in an instant because Alisha had previously rejected me.The sense of spiritual connection and happiness seemed as if it had never existed, leaving me with endless pain and regret.I picked up the ring that Alisha had discarded on the bedside table. The gem on it had lost its luster, fractured into two halves, much like our marriage. I once again painful
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
