Auretta’s POVThe growls and howls of the warrior wolves were clearly heard in my ears.Alaric was used to the terrifying sounds because he had slept in this room since birth.Every Alpha’s house must be next to the warrior camp. That wasn’t actually a rule that all packs had to obey. I didn't know who first had the idea.I think an Alpha’s house should be next to the warrior camp, making it easier for the Alphas to coordinate the warriors.I’ve never heard of an Alpha’s house far from the warrior camp. My pack, which had a small territory, built a home for the alpha next to the warrior camp.I took a deep breath. I missed my pack. I couldn’t wait to meet Beta Caleb.How could I get out of this house to meet him?The Alpha rogue assassin was right. I should have refused to sleep in Alaric's room. At that time, I was so happy to sleep with him, but I didn't think it would hinder my movements.Look now, I was so dizzy thinking about how to leave this room at night.I glanced at the CCTV
What did Alpha Andrew really want? I was sure he regretted not rejecting me when we first met.He and his tens of thousands of warriors could destroy my pack then. They could kill everyone. My wolf wasn't even sure she could win against him.Why did he accept me then if he loved his cousin so much? They still love each other even now. I was never in his heart.I started to believe my wolf's opinion. Alpha Andrew accepted me then because he thought he could control my pack, but in reality, I refused to hand over my pack under his leadership.Then Alpha Andrew devised a scheme to destroy me because I had gotten in his way. He made the incorrect accusation. Then, he pushed Warrior Johan to carry out his plan.The proof was that he did not punish Warrior Johan severely, but he killed me by paying the rogue assassins.I kept thinking about the conspiracy theory created by my wolf, and over time, I thought it made sense.If Alpha Andrew was really the mastermind behind the fake news, he was
Andrew’s POV"Mark my words." Beta Caleb glared at me, his hands clenched, his cheeks flushed, and his jaw clenched. His breath was ragged from the turmoil in his chest.“You can get my elders to accept you as their leader until Alaric is ready to become Alpha, but you will never be able to use my warrior army to help you achieve your goal of exterminating your enemies!” Beta Caleb said firmly. There was no fear of me in his eyes.“The windows and warriors are on my side, and they will not betray me.” Beta Caleb said arrogantly. “You rejected our Alpha and caused our Alpha to die. How can we trust you even though you are the father of our future Alpha?”His words were like a sharp iron ball hitting my body until my heart ached so much. I had to hold onto the edge of the table to stay standing.“No one trusts you in my pack.” Beta Caleb smiled proudly. “The elders will be unable to make us forgive you or accept you as our interim leader.” He shook his head.“I thank you for sending ten
Joel’s POV (Andrew’s Wolf)That morning, my thousands of warriors and I left the pack. We ran for miles with a burning passion in our chests.We were going to attack our enemies!I was so happy when Alpha Romeo invited Andrew and his thousands of warriors to attack the Lycan Wilmar Kingdom.Everyone would be shocked when they saw the news on television or the internet about what we would do that morning.Lately, everyone thought that Andrew and Alpha Romeo’s relationship had soured. The rumor made the enemy happy because they would not face us, who often combined our warrior strengths.For hundreds of years, the River Oval Pack and the Mountain Twins Pack have been known to have many enemies and often attack small packs, rogue clans, and lycan clans.War was commonplace for us. It could be said that it was our hobby.The warrior wolves would become depressed if they did not fight for a long time. Therefore, we attack the enemy almost every month because the enemy rarely attacks us fir
Andrew’s POV I read the news on the internet with a crooked smile. So many articles discussed the Wilmar Lycan Kingdom being attacked by the River Oval Pack and the Mountain Twins Pack. The war happened two days ago, but people were still discussing it. They were shocked because they didn’t expect me and Alpha Romeo, along with our warrior troops, to attack the Lycan kingdom. Previously, they believed that my relationship with Alpha Romeo was strained, and some even predicted that our wolves would fight until one of us died or we were both badly injured and then decided to become enemies. I couldn’t hide my sneer at them. It turned out that many wanted to see my wolf and Alpha Romeo’s wolf fight again. They didn’t like our friendship. No. No. They were not jealous of our friendship. They, especially our enemies, were happy if we became enemies because they believed we would be busy attacking each other and forget that we have many enemies. Their thoughts were amusing. Alpha
Auretta’s POVI smiled, watching Omega Maya bathe Alaric. My son seemed happy every time he met water.Before I became Alaric’s nanny, Omega Maya bathed and dressed Alaric for two weeks because Alaric was calmer when he was with her than when he was with other omegas.Omega Maya told me she missed bathing Alaric three days ago, and then I mentioned it to Alpha Andrew.Alpha Andrew allowed Omega Maya to bathe Alaric on the condition that I must be beside him. He trusted Omega Maya, but since I was Alaric’s nanny, I was responsible for ensuring Alaric was okay.“He smiled.” Omega Maya shouted happily to find Alaric slightly raising the corners of his lips as she laid Alaric, who had just taken a shower, on a pile of sheets on the table.Alaric was wearing a white bathrobe, his bent legs were raised, and he was sucking his thumb.“Did you see Alaric smile earlier?” Omega Maya looked at me questioningly. She wanted to make sure she didn’t see things wrong.I smiled faintly. “Yes, you’re r
I'd prepared for that night. My heart had been racing since yesterday, or rather, since Alpha Yon announced that I would be starting a mission.I stroked Alaric's cheek. He was lying on his bed, staring at the toys hanging above him, and his hands were reaching out to take them.I smiled at how adorable he was. I wanted to kiss his chubby cheeks so badly.I gave him a pacifier when he took his thumb out of his mouth, but he pushed the pacifier away. He hadn't changed, he still didn't like sucking pacifiers."You look so handsome, Alaric." I stroked his thick black hair. He had a lot of hair, like me. "Are you ready to sunbathe?"Alaric's black eyes rounded at me as if he wanted to tell me he was enthusiastic!Alaric had taken a bath, put on long sleeves, and had a drink of milk, and the next thing to do was to take him to the edge of the pool, letting him get some warm sunshine.I carried Alaric, who had gained a little weight and walked towards the pool.I had spent 30 days without h
Andrew’s POVAfter two months of distancing myself from him, I held Alaric for the first time.My heart was beating so fast, like a drum, and I looked at Alaric with a panicked face.I was concerned Alaric would cry as he had before. Since my ex-mate's burial, I had materialized in front of Alaric while he was already in deep sleep because the Omegas and Beta Lyra had a difficult time getting him to sleep.Oh, I nearly forgot. I met Alaric once while he wasn't sleeping. It was Rebecca's second day as his nanny. Rebecca followed my suggestion and dried Alaric under the sunlight.That morning, I really wanted to hug and hold Alaric when I saw Rebecca sitting on a chair by the pool with Alaric on her lap.I couldn't help myself. Then I told Rebecca what I wanted. Rebecca helped me hold Alaric properly so his body wouldn't hurt.That was why Alaric was in my arms now. My body was stiff as if this was the first time I'd held my son."Relax, Alpha," said Rebecca. "Alaric won't cry, trust me
“It’s bath time,” I said to Alaric cheerfully.I took Alaric out of the crib. He had just finished his milk. Alaric sucked his thumb; he didn’t really like pacifiers.I bathed Alaric in the baby bath with warm water. Alaric smiled and babbled in his baby language. I wanted so badly to kiss his chubby cheeks.There was no one and no surveillance cameras in the room. But still, I didn't dare to hug Alaric tightly or kiss his cheek.I was afraid of myself forgetting my revenge mission.“You love baths,” I commented on Alaric’s feet playing in the water.I didn’t learn to be a nanny.I cared for Alaric based on the prenatal knowledge I learned when I was six to nine months pregnant.So, sometimes, I doubted myself and wondered if nannies did what I did and if I looked like a nanny.“You’re already handsome and smell good.” I moved Alaric from the baby bath and laid him down on the changing station. Alaric bit the dark gray towel covering him.I brushed his teeth, slathered his face with b
Auretta’s POVI was so happy that I finally got to witness my warrior pack training.The last time I saw them training was six months ago when I was seven months pregnant. Time flew by so fast without me realizing it.However, that day, I witnessed their increasing strength as Rebecca, their future Alpha nanny. Those hundreds of warriors had no idea who I really was.I honestly felt weird hearing Beta Caleb, Gamma Gabriel, and Delta Vanessa still consider me as their Alpha. Yeah, as long as the pack didn’t appoint a new Alpha, the Alpha status would still be held by me.The potion from the Alpha Rogue Assassin was very effective in hiding my scent.The potion would be gone once my wolf took over my body. Luckily, my wolf could control itself well.“They are strong,” Beta Lyra commented as she stared at the hundreds of warrior wolves. “You all are no less strong when compared to wolves from a large pack. You lost because you were few.”Beta Lyra was absolutely right. We couldn't achiev
I monitor the warrior wolves training to fight in the second-largest forest in the pack.The first largest forest in the pack is used as a battlefield.I no longer hide from the public, especially the enemies, that my wolf and I have the ambition to attack all the enemies of our pack.We will mobilize all our warriors to fight.Thousands of warrior troops would join my wolf fighting on the battlefield; 10 percent of them were those who had only been warriors for a year.We didn’t need to doubt the strength of the warrior wolves, whether they were experienced or not in war. Gamma and Delta never make mistakes in judging a wolf who is worthy of the title of warrior.I was not alone in monitoring the strength of the two thousand warrior wolves. I share the task with Beta and the chief warrior. We made sure they were all classified as war participants.In addition to assessing the strength and stamina of their wolves, we also check their health. I would revoke the warrior title of those w
Andrew’s POV“We’ve attacked the River Octagon Pack. Are they going to attack us back or not?” I tilted my head with a raised eyebrow.I leaned back in my office chair, my elbows on the arms of the chair and my chin resting on my palms.I was alone in my workspace. I was enjoying the success of my wolf and thousands of our warrior wolves in attacking one of our pack’s enemies.‘Alpha Eduardo and his wolf rarely counterattack. Their elders forbid them from fighting, but as an Alpha, Alpha Eduardo can fight those elderly men,’ my wolf said.‘But it seems like Alpha Eduardo and his wolf are too lazy to fight. That’s why they rarely attack their pack’s enemies.’ My wolf gave his opinion. He mocked Alpha Eduardo and his cowardly wolf.‘You’re right. Alpha Eduardo only uses the ban to keep himself and his wolf away from the war. Besides, it’s not just the elders of the River Octagon Pack who disagree with the war; all the elders in the packs are strongly against it,’ I said.‘Our elders are
Beta Lyra's tears flowed even after she released her hug from me.Alaric looked at us in confusion. Then Beta Caleb, Gamma Gabriel, and Delta Vanessa played with him again.Alaric smiled as Delta Vanessa put hand puppets on each of her fingers, and one by one, the puppets kissed Alaric's cheeks.I didn't want to show my face to Alaric, worried that Alaric would remember me. How pathetic I was."Stop crying, Beta Lyra." I held her hand.“I apologize. I regret that day I couldn’t defend you.” Beta Lyra looked at me with tears that wouldn’t stop flowing down her cheeks as she tried to speak clearly.“I was so sad when I got back to the pack. I couldn’t find you, and then I got the news from my mate that Alpha had rejected you. I should have been there to defend you!” Beta Lyra wiped the tears on her cheeks with her T-shirt sleeve.“I can’t believe you betrayed Alpha. I know you and Warrior Johan aren’t what Alpha thinks. I know you love Alpha very much.” Beta Lyra expressed everything in
An hour after breakfast, we headed to the burial for Alphas and their family. The grave we went directly to had a tombstone with Auretta Dawson's name and the date of her death.Beta Lyra placed a red rose on the grave. She sat with her knees on the ground. She could no longer hold back the tears she had held back since yesterday.Beta Lyra sobbed as if the person she was crying over had just died this morning. Her left hand touched her chest, and her right hand stroked the tombstone.“Luna. I, I, I miss you.”Beta Lyra still called me Luna.“This is your mother’s grave.” Alaric looked around in confusion. “Your mother is happy in heaven.” I was so great that I could say that without my voice shaking.I had one knee on the ground a few steps in front of the tombstone. My heart felt like it was being torn apart. I tried hard to hold back my anger.I closed my eyes to calm myself. My wolf spoke words of wisdom softly to help me calm down.The sixteen warriors Alpha Andrew sent to protec
We arrived at the Mountain Pack Clan border office. We had to pass through the gate to visit one of the eight packs located there.The warriors checked our identities, belongings, and cars. They made sure we were not carrying any weapons or bombs.Even though we had been checked by them, when we arrived at our destination pack, the warriors there would still check us. That was the security protocol implemented by all packs to keep their packs safe from danger.However, rogues, rogue assassins, and spy warriors from enemy packs were still able to enter a pack without being detected. Only they knew how they could outsmart the super-tight security system.The border office of each clan never checked the Alphas and their thousands of wolf warriors who were about to attack their enemies. The border office staff were well aware that they would not be able to deal with wolves who were driven by their killing lust.“You are welcome to enter,” a male warrior from the Mountain Mist Pack said to
Auretta’s POV“I told you Alpha would let us. He agreed with your idea of bringing the future Alpha to the Mountain Volcano Pack!” Beta Lyra said happily.We were in Alaric’s room. A few minutes ago, we had just gone to Alpha Andrew’s workspace to express our desire to bring Alaric to the Mountain Volcano Pack, to visit his mother’s grave, and to show Alaric to the people there.Luckily, Beta Lyra didn’t say it was my idea. I was worried that Alpha Andrew would be suspicious of me or he would feel uncomfortable because I interfered in Alaric’s life.“Future Alpha.” Beta Lyra poked Alaric's cheeks, who was sitting on my lap.“This afternoon, we are going to your mother’s pack. The last time you were there was to attend your mother’s funeral.” Beta Lyra said with a sad face, and then she smiled widely. “Tomorrow, you will meet your mother. You have to show her that you can talk!”Beta Lyra held Alaric’s tiny hand. “I believe your mother is always watching over you. You should believe
Andrew’s POVI closed my eyes, enjoying the cold night air blowing hard against my body.When I opened my eyes, I saw the night sky, the moon, and one star.Happiness was filling my chest.A few hours ago, my wolf and our warrior troop fought with Alpha Henry’s wolf and the warrior troop from the River Hexagon Pack.My wolf and Alpha Henry’s wolf injured each other. We weren’t severely injured because both wolves knew when to rest. Our body regeneration would slow down if we got a lot of injuries.The war lasted for more than five hours. No warriors from my pack or Alpha Henry’s pack died. They were only lightly injured and badly injured, which was a common thing we got during the war.I sat on a wooden chair on my balcony. I wanted to take a short break. Then I would go to Alaric’s room at 10. I didn’t want to disturb Rebecca’s sleep.“Alpha.”I frowned. Tabitha called me through the mind link.“Yes?”Tabitha hadn’t done that for so long that I forgot we could communicate through a m
