Jeol’s POV (Andrew’s wolf)That afternoon, I brought two thousand warriors to the River Hexagon Pack. Two days ago, they attacked us. We wasted no time retaliating against them.Two days ago, Beta Duncan’s wolf fought Alpha Henry’s wolf because Andrew’s right leg was swollen.The damn poison that came from who knows what plant had forced Andrew to hide from the public, not meet Alaric, and I couldn’t switch bodies with him to fight the bastard Alpha Henry’s wolf.Thousands of my warrior troops and I ran fast towards the west, not caring about the people who pulled over their vehicles and stopped walking to give us the way or were afraid of us.River Oval Pack and River Hexagon Pack were quite close. We have been enemies for thousands of years. Back then, our ancestors fought over a forest that caused thousands of our warriors to die, and then we never had the desire to make peace.That forest did not belong to anyone. We cannot have it. Therefore, we would not let another pack claim i
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
“Alaric.”My feet stepped into the playroom while calling Alaric, kicking the toys above him and holding a rattle with his hand.Alaric turned to me, smiling widely, eyes sparkling, and his legs moving faster as if pedaling a bicycle.I was stunned, and my heart felt like it was being pinched. Alaric was so happy to welcome me, who could only be with him for a few minutes. Rebecca said that Alaric recognized me as his father.When Alaric was under a month old, I couldn't hold him for more than ten minutes because he would cry. Now I know why Alaric used to be like that; I often pinched his cheeks and nose. It was still fresh in my memory how upset my late ex-mate was.I didn't pinch Alaric's cheeks and nose anymore. Alaric needed my hugs and caring gaze to remind him that he had me and I would never leave him.“Hey, how are you, my handsome son?” I poked Alaric’s cheek and looked him straight in the eye. “You haven’t slept because you knew I was coming? Are you a psychic?”Alaric babb
Andrew’s POV‘Those guys must think you’re weak,’ my wolf said. ‘They shot your shoulders with poison bullets and arrows carrying a piece of warning paper more than a month ago, and the four floors of your company building that burned down more than two weeks ago.’‘I know.’ I would have been on a rampage since yesterday if I couldn’t control my emotions. ‘I have to admit that they’re very good at hiding themselves. Plus, our pack has a large territory.’I left the search for the perpetrators to the warriors from the elite and spy teams because they knew better how to find them. I didn't want to interfere, which would only trouble them.I gave my full trust to them and revealed some suspicious names, most likely one of them being the mastermind behind the misfortune I experienced.However, based on the warning paper I received and my rogue assassin subordinate, who was also hit by a poison bullet, we narrowed it down to one name.I discussed the suspected perpetrators with my subordin
‘How are they mentally now?’ I asked Beta Caleb. Of course, we were talking through the mind link.Luckily, my mind was still connected to Beta Caleb, Gamma Gabriel, Delta Vanessa, and the chief warrior because they did not agree to have Alpha Andrew become their temporary Alpha.I had not communicated with the chief warrior, and he did not even know I was alive. It was not because I did not trust him. I was just waiting for the right time. Let Beta Caleb be my mouthpiece.‘They are much better, Alpha,’ Beta Caleb replied. ‘The warriors who went to the battlefield against the Mountain Snow Pack have been practicing today. ’‘I am glad to hear that.' I was relieved that the warriors had not lost their spirit to defend our territory from the enemy.‘The warriors of the River Oval Pack are lousy. They can’t stand outside for more than two hours. Some even have the flu.’ Beta Caleb said in a surprised tone.‘Are you laughing at them?’‘You know me, Alpha.’ I bet Beta Caleb blushed.'It's
Auretta’s POV “Do you see the snow on that tree?” I stood in front of the window with Alaric in my arms. My index finger pointed at the tall tree in the front yard of the warrior camp, which was next to this mansion. “Winter has arrived. Do you like seeing snow?” Alaric stared at me without blinking. "The winter temperature in the River Pack Clan is not too cold compared to the Mountain Pack Clan and the Sea Pack Clan. The coldest is the Sea Pack Clan because they are surrounded by the sea, which blows strong cold winds." I explained to Alaric passionately, as if I were a teacher, hoping my students would understand my lesson. Alaric responded with a wide smile that made his eyes narrow. Oh, Moon Goddess, Alaric’s smile was not good for my heart health. My son is so handsome. I was so glad that Alaric could smile, unlike his father. I hoped he didn’t change. “When it’s winter, you have to wear winter clothes.” I touched Alaric’s nose. He was surprised and blinked his eyes. Hi
That night, a few hours after she left my workspace in tears, Tabitha returned home with all her stuff.I shouldn't have been so harsh on her just to wake her up from losing control.I honestly felt scared if she kept teasing me like that.I should have gently reminded Tabitha that she had to find her mate. The Moon Goddess would surely give her a clue if she prayed sincerely.Damn. I ruffled my hair.This was all my fault. I was the one who created the illicit relationship, but what have I done to her? I dumped her as if she was my disgusting sin.Tabitha is my cousin. She is my family. What I did last night and our past relationship have damaged our bond.I regret it. I didn’t think I would ever be able to get rid of the regret.‘Forget about her, Andrew,’ my wolf said. ‘Let her go as long as she still loves you. She is dangerous to you.’‘She is not dangerous, Joel.’ I disagreed with my wolf. ‘As long as I am not tempted by her again, we will not go back to the way we were.’‘That
Andrew’s POVThere was no progress in the case of my company building fire. We almost reached a dead end.The warriors from the investigation team struggled for three days to find the cause of the fire and clues to the perpetrator.The initial suspicion is that an electrical short circuit caused the fire. The fire quickly spread to the fourth floor due to the fire alarm and the fire sprinkler not working.Dozens of surveillance cameras did not record anything in the hours before and during the fire, and the security guards fainted after smelling the sleeping gas.Even the perpetrators also hacked the surveillance cameras around this building. They were so hard-working that we couldn’t detect them.We were sure that the perpetrators were more than two people. They consist of several people who have different roles, and they successfully complete their tasks.Damn it. They must be laughing at us, who are having a headache solving this fire case and waiting for us to catch them. I won't
My lips smiled as I saw Alaric sleeping in the crib. Now, he didn't want to sleep if I swaddled him, but strangely, he likes a pacifier. The blue pacifier fell out of his mouth when he slept."What are you dreaming about?" I unconsciously stroked Alaric's cheek when I saw him smile. I immediately pulled my hand away. My heart was beating painfully fast.I quickly sat on the floor in front of Alaric's clothes basket.How pathetic I was. I shouldn't be afraid to stroke Alaric's cheek or hair and kiss him.The urge to pull out the surveillance camera was deeply rooted in my chest.Okay. You have to calm down, Auretta. This will all be over soon. I reminded myself not to give up.‘Alpha Auretta.’The deep voice that I hadn’t heard for a week echoed in my head. I gasped in surprise until my body was pushed back and my back almost hit the floor.‘Alpha Yon!’‘Whoa, whoa, how enthusiastic you are.’I smiled and blushed. He didn’t know that I had been waiting for him to contact me through the
Auretta’s POVI had a new routine almost every day for a week.I sat in the park or forest for an hour or two, but I was not alone, Alaric and Beta Lyra were with me.It was not my intention, it was Alpha Andrew’s idea.I forgot that babies need to be introduced to nature making me feel like a failure as a mother to Alaric.I was too focused on my revenge plan, keeping my identity from being revealed, and opening my ears wide to listen to the conversations of the people around me in hopes of getting useful information for me or the rogue assassins.I didn’t know where Alpha Andrew learned about babies needing to know their surroundings. He never attended prenatal classes, even though I tried my best to persuade him.I should have been suspicious of him from the start. He was a man who couldn’t possibly play his role as a father. He preferred to be busy with his work and the war.Okay. Stop it. I shouldn’t be thinking about that bastard.“Future Alpha.” I held Alaric who had just drunk
Andrew’s POV It was a great day for me and my wolf. Alpha Delrico and Alpha King Raziel combined their strength. They wanted to feel what Alpha Romeo and I and our wolves felt. My wolf enjoyed the fight that lasted for more than two hours even though his body was battered and I was almost out of energy to help his body regenerate quickly. My wolf preferred fighting two wolves rather than joining Alpha Romeo’s wolf to fight an Alpha werewolf or an Alpha rogue. Oh, I forgot. It had been a long time since we attacked rogues. Usually, Alfa Romeo was very enthusiastic about inviting me to mess up the rogues' residence. I wonder if his mate is really a rogue? “Stop attacking your enemies, Alpha Andrew.” Alpha Delrico stood in front of me, blocking the sunlight that was shining on me. I sat under a tree in the forest where we fought a few minutes ago. I had switched bodies with my wolf, and a quarter of the warriors were waiting for me to return to the pack with them. It had
