Anna's POVIn the following week, I rushed to Camila's study every day, tirelessly researching methods to save Tony's life.I diligently flipped through one yellowed medical book after another until the seventh day when I found a page with the title "Dreamshade."Kevin leaned on the desk, dragging his chin, lazily saying, "Anna, even if you don't find a solution, no one will blame you."I ignored him, fingers moving down rows of densely packed text, stopping at the section titled "Measures After Poisoning."For patients in a dream for more than 48 hours, only active venom can treat them.I fell into contemplation. In other words, ordinary herbal juices cannot counteract Dreamshade. Only a life-infused liquid can survive in Tony's body, purging the toxins throughout his system."Have you found the answer?"I nodded, packed medical supplies, and hurried to Zachary's house, hoping that there was still time.Upon reaching the hunter's house, I knocked on the tightly closed door, receiving
Anna's POVWe rented a small apartment, and after injecting Tony with anesthesia, he lay in a state of unconsciousness on the bed. I attached needles to both ends of a fifty-centimeter transparent syringe, connecting the middle of the syringe to a green bottle containing a liquid that could activate cells and enhance blood diffusion."Miss Anna, so what's the antidote you found?" Zachary asked nervously."My blood...""What?" Kevin interrupted, "I haven't heard that werewolf blood can detoxify. Anna, if you need blood, you can use mine.""Yours won't work; only my blood can neutralize the Dreamshade in Tony's body." As I was about to insert the needle into my skin, my wrist was restrained, and Kevin stared at me with seriousness, his tone firm."Absolutely not. I won't allow you to harm yourself!""Kevin, let go of me. I have consumed many poisonous leaves since childhood, and my blood is immune to toxins. Ancient texts indicate that an active liquid can neutralize Dreamshade. Freshly
Kevin’s POVWhen we bid farewell to the Blue River Tribe hunter and his son, he gave Anna a silver leaf. Curious, Anna examined the silver leaf, "There's a 'U' engraved on the back. What is it?""It's a pass for free entry to Utopia," I said.Zachary looked at me in surprise, "Y-you know about it? sir. Have you been to Utopia too?"I didn't answer him, and he continued, "Ten years ago, when I was a young and vigorous wolf, skilled in battle, I traveled out of curiosity about the supernatural world. Due to a fortuitous encounter, I saved a human female merchant. Her convoy was attacked by vampires during a journey in the south. Later, she gave me this silver leaf, and that was when I learned about a mysterious town far to the northeast, called Utopia.Since then, I've been searching for a map to Utopia, meeting many people to piece together this information.""Was the female merchant a resident of Utopia?" Anna asked.Zachary shook his head, "I'm not sure about the details. They didn't
Ella's POVIn the room, I sat at the desk, holding a pen and circling a date on a calendar. Just one more week, and Kevin and his Beta would leave the Blue River Pack. Kevin's recent unusual behavior made me uneasy. The longer he stayed in the Blue River Pack, the more vulnerable my identity became. I tried talking to my wolf, Lucy.Me: Lucy, are you there?Lucy: Yes, I'm here.Me: I feel uneasy. Have you noticed that Kevin has been acting strangely lately?Lucy: Hmm, in what way?My wolf seemed puzzled, just like me, not typically attuned to people's emotions.Me: I don't know if it's just my perception, but he's become considerate and gentle. These days, he's always eager to help me with tasks like cleaning the clinic, moving herbs, attending to patients, and...Lucy: And what?My heart raced a bit as I said: Do you think he's becoming clingy...?Lucy: Clingy? Ella, Kevin is an Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, cold-blooded and indifferent to women. I don't think that adjective suits hi
Ella's POV "What does this have to do with you?" My throat was dry, attempting to intimidate Luke. "Let me go, I already have a mate." "Mate? Who is he?" Luke paused in undressing. "He is..." I recalled Kevin, and strangely, I missed him at this moment. "He's a powerful male wolf. So, put your clothes back on, and don't touch me." Luke laughed, removing his shirt, revealing his bare chest. "It doesn't matter who he is. Even if I take away your virginity, he can't do anything to me. I am the Alpha's son, and there is no woman I can't have. So, Anna, don't try to resist. Your wolf wants to mate, and you want me too, right?" Then he leaned down, kissing my lips, and my eyes widened. A loud bang, a sound of mechanical collision, startled both Luke and me. In a daze, I felt someone barging in, a familiar scent filling my nose. At the same time, a powerful force sent Luke flying, crashing into the bed frame. "Damn it," Luke cursed, but a hand grabbed his throat, dragging him off the b
Kevin’s POVI searched for Ella for five years, and now she's within me. The immense satisfaction makes me extremely excited. Her vagina is tight, gripping my cock intensely, and I'm thrusting wildly into her tight pussy, the pace getting faster."Please, please slow down." Ella's legs restlessly rubbed against me. I pulled the legs on my shoulders closer, allowing my cock to penetrate deeper. "No, it's too deep, it's going into the uterus."She screamed as she contracted her cervix, trapping the head of my cock inside. The stimulation caused a shiver through me, and my spine tingled. I wanted to go deeper, so I flipped her over, facing down. "Sweetheart, you'll enjoy this."I used a pillow to support her lower abdomen, entering her from behind. My cock went deep, and she moaned in pleasure. I kissed her neck as I slowly moved my hips. She seemed to enjoy the rhythm, making wolf-like whimpering sounds. I touched her entrance, finding it wet, and now, my cock could go even deeper."Ah.
Ella’s POVI came out of the bathroom, and Kevin was already gone. I breathed a sigh of relief, my gaze scanning the floor, which had been cleaned, and the bed, now adorned with new sheets. My tattered work clothes were neatly placed on the sofa. I sniffed the air, still filled with the scent of sex from the night before.Kevin was surprisingly a gentleman, even after a one-night stand.Lucy bounced out, wagging her tail happily. I could sense that after the release of last night's desires, she had become more energetic. As a youthful she-wolf, she should be eager for a mate.I used a towel to dry my damp blonde hair, walked to the dressing table, and saw my refined face in the mirror. I lifted the wet hair on my neck to wipe it off and discovered marks on my skin. I was stunned.In a panic, I approached the mirror, fingers caressing the red marks. It was then that I realized the scent on me wasn't just from Kevin's lovemaking; he had marked me during my heat!Oh, my goodness, Ella, w
Kevin's POVThese past two days, I haven't seen Ella at all. Camila mentioned she goes up the mountain to gather herbs at 5:30 in the morning and returns at midnight. I didn't say anything; I knew she was avoiding me. Ever since I exposed Ella's true identity, our relationship has been strained.A Cold War can't last too long. I need to change this situation quickly. On the third night, I waited for Ella in the yard, but she didn't show up. Her room's window was dark, indicating she hadn't returned that night. I grew anxious and went to knock on her door."Kevin, has Ella gone missing again?" Eric asked.Me: She probably hasn't. Once she calms down a bit, she'll be willing to listen to my explanation.Eric: When will that be? I hate waiting, waiting is too long!Eric paced impatiently in my mind, furrowing my brow.Me: I hate waiting too, but we need to give her some space. She probably can't accept being exposed like that.Eric: What do we do then? The deed is done. Kevin, I have to
Maya's POVI looked back at the door with panic as I packed my stuff into a bag. I had to leave here soon if I wanted to stay alive. Those sly girls. I shouldn't have trusted them. They had gone to the palace to check out my story and ended up telling the palace guards what I had told them and now, those ones were at the door threatening to break it down if I didn't open up and follow them to the palace at the order of the alpha's father."Open this door, Maya. We know you are in there." The head guard roared.I shook my head, forcing myself to remain calm through the hysteria I felt. I wouldn't be tricked. They couldn't have known I was in here. I had seen them from afar before they got to the door and rushed to my bedroom to pack my stuff. I had been moving silently through the bedroom as I packed my stuff and dumped them into a travel bag. There was no way they could have heard me even with their supernatural hearing."Maya, by the order of the alpha, we demand that you open this d
Melody's POV"How did you find me?" I asked once we were back to safety."I got to where we were to meet but didn't find you. I was looking for you with Neo and Nick when I heard you scream and knew something was wrong. I called dad and we traced your scent." Nathan said.I shook my head. Everything he said was confusing. He couldn't have heard me when I was far away. How could he have traced my scent when he didn't have a dog with him?""You brought a dog?" I asked."A dog?" Nick asked, looking confused."You said you traced my scent. Didn't you do that with a dog?"The boys looked at one another and laughed. "I thought you just heard dad say we were werewolves."My eyes rounded with surprise. I wondered how many surprises I was going to have to deal with today. "He wasn't kidding. I thought he was only trying to scare the witch.""My dad doesn't make empty threats."I sucked in a breath. "You are really werewolves? Can you prove it?"The boys looked unsettled. "I don't think that is
Melody's POV"Why didn't you use the drug I gave you?" She asked.I frowned, wondering what she was talking about. "Which drug?"She snorted. "The drug I gave the other day when you complained of headaches.""I told you I used it.""You lied to me that day and I knew it. If you had used the drug, you would have been dead in the next five minutes after using it."I went pale. "I'm glad I didn't use it.""You left me no choice but to do this. I was trying to make your death painless but I guess you love pain." She smiled."Why do you want to kill me?" I didn't understand her. How could a little girl like her think of killing me?"Why do you hate sweets?""It's bad for me.""Good." She cackled. "I want to kill you because you are bad for me. You can't be allowed to grow up. You would ruin my plans.""How can you know what would happen to me in the future?""Because I know." She smirked and right before my eyes, started changing until she became a grown woman with gnarled fingers and an u
Melody's POVThe school trip was boring, more than I thought it would be. It wasn't that I had great hopes for it but I hated how I was disappointed.This wasn't it. The teachers should have just given us a free day and told us to stay at home if they didn't want to teach today rather than bringing us to a place as dry as this.The other kids were playing a game to pass the time but I wasn't interested in it. The game was boring to me as well. I stayed off from them so they wouldn't drag me into their boring game against my wish."Why are you here alone?" Nathan asked as he walked towards me.He was alone and I wondered where his brothers were."I was bored. This place is dry." I replied. "I want to go home."He chuckled. "I know. Me too. I can't believe I was looking forward so much to this.""I wasn't." I confessed.He nodded. "Too bad that we can't go home until the teachers say we can.""Why don't we play a game together?" I asked, gearing with excitement as the idea popped into m
Nathan's POVEve was back immediately the teacher left. "Aren't you excited about the trip? There is so much we can get done."I snorted. So much like what? The girl was too strange for my liking. I had been focused on the dangers of the school trip and didn't remember that Eve was here until she popped her unwanted face again.She turned to Melody, ignoring my snort. "How does your head feel now? Have you taken the drug?" She asked."Yes, my head feels better now. Thank you.""You used the drug?" Eve asked, confirming she had heard right."Yes." Melody lied. The drug was on the ground, under her shoe."I didn't see you take it.""Were you watching her?" I frowned."I was worried about her." Eve replied."I took it immediately you turned your back and walked back to your seat. I slipped it into my mouth then."Eve stared at Melody for a long time, looking as if she didn't believe her. Eventually, she nodded to herself and walked back to her seat without a word.I frowned. "You should
Maya's POVI was brimming with excitement and anxiety that both emotions bothered on hyperactivity. I felt like a child again. I felt like I was finally living after all these days of feeling dead and numb.Who could have believed that it was Kevin and Ella who made me go numb and dead inside and it was also because of them that I would feel alive again?I was excited. This was my chance to get back at Kevin for breaking my heart and Ella for stealing the position that belonged to me.I loved karma. I couldn't believe it was finally working for me after all these years and deciding to fight on my behalf. They shouldn't have messed with me. In Kevin's next life, I hoped he would think twice before hurting another female.The only person I felt for in this revenge scheme of mine was Liam but I didn't care much about him as much as I cared about what I was to do. He was going to be affected as he was always by Kevin's side and also going to be heartbroken as he was an annoyingly loyal be
Neo's POVMelody had to be kidding me. How could she have brought another person into our circle? This wasn't the time to get friendly with strangers. She didn't even know this girl for up to a day and she was already being friends with her and having her eat with us. I couldn't believe her guts. She was unbelievable.For all I knew, this girl was not an ordinary girl. I forced myself to calm down, reminding myself that she didn't know of the dangers that lay ahead of her. She didn't know that she had to be careful and was being her usual bubbly self. It wasn't her fault that I had begun to suspect everyone and everyone that crossed my path. It wasn't her fault at all.I looked at Eve and wondered if she was oblivious to how my brothers and I felt about her or was just trying to be stubborn. She would have known since that we weren't open to her being here with our scowls and I thought that she would have excused herself.Wouldn't it be better for her to leave and eat alone than eat h
Melody's POV"Can we eat lunch together?" She suddenly asked, just before we got to class."I... I uh..." I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how to tell her that I already made plans for lunch so it wouldn't seem like I was trying to reject her."I am not trying to do anything." She began.I frowned, wondering what she meant by that. I never said she was trying to do anything.She continued. "The thing is, I have a lot of friends at the school where I transferred from and I'm not used to eating alone. You seem kind and moreover, you were the first person to smile at me here and that was why I thought that we could be friends. I only asked if we could eat lunch together because I already see you as a friend."I sighed. She was extremely chatty but I preferred that to her crying. I understood what she was trying to say and found myself nodding in agreement before thinking it through. I knew how much it sucked to eat alone in a large gathering of people. It was awkward feeling to f
Melody's POVThe boys had adapted to being my friends again and I was relieved that I didn't have to worry about them suffocating me with their overprotectiveness."Where should we hang out during break time?" I asked them as we saw one another in the morning and moved towards the school entrance."Take care of yourself, kids." Uncle Liam said and waved as he turned and walked away from us."Should we hang out in the garden?" Neo suggested. "I love the smell of flowers.""Me too." I agreed, smiling at them. "I also love flowers." I also loved being in the garden with the boys. They knew so much about flowers that I always learn something new from them. I wondered where they had learned about flowers from.The bell rang to signify the start of the classes and I watched as our homeroom teacher walked in, with a new student by her side.The girl seemed shy and I felt my heart move towards her. I remembered how nervous I had been on my first day here as well, wondering what my new classma
