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 POVOrathe glanced at Gray and me with a somewhat serious expression and asked, "Can someone explain to me why you both went to Black Furies seeking revenge, and after returning, Alisha suddenly decided to be with that... Lo...Lo'Gray interjected, "Louie, Louie Blancato, from Deep Moon."Orathe shot Gray a look, then continued, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Dyess. However, I am curious. Why do you remember some insignificant people's names but forget the instructions from your mother? I asked you to take care of Alisha, my little princess. Yet, after going out with you this time, she was deceived by another man and suddenly decided to marry him!"Gray pursed his lips, giving me a helpless look.I apologetically smiled at Gray and then explained to Orathe, "Mom, Gray took excellent care of me all along. He is the best brother in the world, just like you are the best mother. Both of you are the ones who love me the most in this world.""Sweetheart, if it were a different ti
Gray's POVIf someone harmed Alisha, but managed to have Alisha and Orathe keep silent, then that person could only be...Orathe looked at me, a hint of apology in her eyes. "I think you have guessed who that person is. Yes, it is your father, Samuel. He used to serve as the Gamma of our pack, so he was very familiar with the layout and weak points of our pack. The entire kidnapping plan was orchestrated by him."Though I had guessed, I couldn't accept it. In disbelief, I asked, "Could there be some misunderstanding? The day Alisha went missing, I was with him the whole time, he didn't have the time to... to kidnap Alisha. " And why would he do such a thing? As far as I remember, despite his separation from Orathe, he was still good to me, a powerful and silent wolf. He had no reason to kidnap Alisha.Orathe walked to the window, placing her hands on the sill, gazing outside. In that moment, her eyes seemed to pierce through the sky into the distant horizon. "Gray, when I was 16, I in
Alisha's POVI stood in the corridor, occasionally glancing at the tightly shut door, anxiously pacing back and forth. Although Gray promised to keep our secret, considering his past actions, I felt worried. What if Orathe knew the truth and didn't allow me to marry Louie? What would I do then?Louie... Just the thought of that name made me anxious and worried. I couldn't waste too much time…Finally, after numerous times of gazing at that closed door, it finally opened. Orathe and Gray walked out.I looked at Orathe's face, trying to gauge her mood from her expression, but I failed. Gray, on the other hand, wouldn't even meet my gaze. Holding my breath, I watched Orathe approach, feeling immensely nervous under her gaze. I couldn't help but speak in a pleading tone, "Mom, please..."Orathe looked at me and asked, "Alisha, have you truly made your decision?"I nodded vigorously. Orathe stared at me, silent. Her gaze was too profound for me to understand. Just when I thought she might
Alisha's POVI was well aware that my first meeting with Taria went completely awry. It was unexpected that Orathe agreed me to marry Louie, but Taria opposed our marriage.I understand Taria's dislike for me, but I absolutely cannot let her take Louie away. Otherwise, his wounds...Even though I know that if I speak out against Taria now, she will despise me even more, I still gathered the courage to try to stop her. However, it seems Louie sensed my intention. He gently shook his head at me, then turned to Taria, "Sorry, Mom, I won't leave Alisha. If you can't accept us temporarily, then I can't force you. But please, don’t force me too.""Louie... Louie, what do you mean?" Taria asked, wide-eyed, seemingly in disbelief."Mom, I have decided to spend my life with Alisha. No matter what happens, I won't run away from her. If you truly can't accept her, refuse to bless us... then I can't change your mind. But don't try to change or stop mine. I want to be with Alisha; that is my only
Alisha's POVI turned back, looking at Taria, and asked, "Is there anything else?"She took a deep breath, seemingly struggling with something. Then she looked sharply at me. "Do you know about the prophecy concerning Louie?"I shrugged and calmly replied, "If you are referring to the one that he was unable to find his mate, then my answer is yes. He has spoken to me about it. So, there is no need to use that reason to prevent us from being together. Honestly, I don't think whether we are destined as mates matters much now."Archie and I were mates, and although we discovered it too late, our marriage still ended in failure. It proved that being mates wasn't a panacea for a happy marriage. "If there is nothing else, I should go. In case Louie wakes up, I need to be there for him." I opened to door and prepare to leave.Taria continued to gaze at me and said, "Didn't you ask me why I dislike you? I can tell you the answer, but you have to promise me that our conversation will never be
