Liam's POVI was sure Gabby would be suspicious of us at this rate and knew that there was something wrong with the way we were going frequently to her house for a visit but she didn't say anything.Well, she hadn't said anything yet. She was busy fussing over her kid and making sure another episode like that didn't repeat itself. I was worried for all of them but I was tired of everything.It had been silent in the school and while taking them to school and back from it that I couldn't help but wonder if the witches hadn't found out where Melody schooled or just didn't want to involve the other kids. I suspected that it was the latter. With how meticulous they were, I doubted that they hadn't made their research to find out the school Melody went to.I could bet my position in the pack that they knew everything about the little girl and didn't want to attack when she was around other humans. Like us, they didn't want their identities to be risked out in the open to the human world. T
Gabby's POVStrange things had been happening and I was getting confused. I was still wondering how Melody could have forgotten a memory of her getting injured in the garage. She hadn't remembered going in there and definitely couldn't remember what had happened to her. I still wondered what happened to her and couldn't deny that worrying about it kept me up all night.I was grateful that Ella was around and with me almost everyday. She was a huge support to me and I couldn't imagine that I had gotten to know her before all these started happening.I would have been scared and driven out of my wits if I was alone to deal with these alone. I wished Melody's dad was here but his program wasn't ending until the next two months, barely days before Melody's birthday party.I couldn't wait to see him again and draw in his comfort. I hadn't told him about what was going on as I didn't want to distract me from his studies. He would only be worried and might rush home in a panic, forfeiting hi
Ella's POV "I, Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, Kevin Allen, reject you, Ella Moore, to be my mate." His voice was icy, and my heart shattered instantly. Tears streamed down my face in large drops. I could only clumsily gesture with my hands. Unable to speak, my mouth only produced choked sobs. "I'm sorry, Ella. I'm only 19, we're still young, and I'm not ready to bond with you. Besides, you... are not suitable to be the Luna of the Blood Moon Pack." He stared at me with a helpless expression. Seeing my helpless look, he remained expressionless, making me feel estranged. Shaking my head in disbelief, I couldn't fathom that Kevin Allen, my best friend, would reject me today, at my 18th coming-of-age ceremony, in front of all the werewolves of the Blood Moon Pack. "Hey, Ella, you mute girl, get off the stage from the testing. Alpha Kevin has rejected you. Don't stand there foolishly, there are other mates waiting for the test!" A male wolf below urged, followed by waves of mocking l
Ella's POVMy mother was Kevin's father's beta. Last year, when 18-year-old Kevin took over, my mother became his beta. She's a fierce warrior, achieving feats in multiple battles and earning respect among the wolves in the Pack. I, on the other hand, am the opposite—an Omega who is mute. I often wonder why there's such a vast difference between us.Would Kevin reject me if I were also a female warrior?I huddle in the corner of my room, alone and heartbroken, shedding tears."Don't cry, my sweetheart. Get up now; I'll take you to train in the forest." My mother barges into my room, lifting me out from under the pillow with one hand.Mom, can't you let me be alone?!I angrily gesture in sign language."No, what you need now is to connect with nature, my little wolf. Come, channel your sorrow and anger into strength, make yourself stronger, and Kevin will regret it." Her tone is slightly indulgent, but she firmly escorts me out of the room.Several minutes later, I reluctantly find mys
Ella's POV After they left, I crouched down to pick up the broken bamboo basket that had been stepped on, sighed, and returned home to replace it with a new one. In the past, even when Mother wasn't around, Kevin would stand by my side, and the werewolves wouldn't dare to bully me. I held back the tears that wanted to spill from my eyes, trying my best not to think about Maya's words. Turns out, Kevin had slept with Maya the day before the adult ceremony. My mate and the bitch I detest the most made love, and then rejected me. I passed by a weapons shop, and from not far away, I heard noisy voices. I originally intended to ignore them and pass through the crowd, but a familiar male voice called my name, “Ella!” Even if I didn’t turn back, I could tell it was Kevin's voice. At this moment, I didn't want to deal with him. “Wait, Ella! I need your help.” My steps hesitated for a moment, and he caught up with me. Kevin's tall and sturdy figure stood in front of me, heaving for bre
Ella's POVThree days later, I continued living my ordinary life, taking care of the plants in the laboratory. Nobody mentioned the incident of Alpha Kevin's subordinates being poisoned with Bloodroot. What was unusual, however, was that my mother became increasingly busy, and she didn’t even return home for these two days.I found it strange and decided to go to the Alpha's office camp to look for her, bringing some supplements and clothes for her.“Ella, outsiders are not allowed here.” The guard stopped me.Why is it suddenly restricted? I used to have access when I came before.I gestured with sign language; I knew this guard. When I was younger, Kevin often let me come and go freely. Since my mother is the Alpha's Beta, the guards usually didn’t stop me."Sorry, the Alpha has given orders that nobody can enter without his permission."Okay.I nodded, not wanting to cause trouble. So I left the main gate of the camp, turned left, and stopped at a big tree, moving my package to my
Ella‘s POVGo to hell and calm down!I really want to punch that arrogant Alpha Kevin in the face. How can someone change so drastically in just a few days? I must have lost my mind to like such an arrogant playboy!On the way home, I cursed Kevin repeatedly.In my room, I threw all the gifts Kevin gave me into a cardboard box and tossed it into the garbage area outside the door, just like my feelings for him. After dealing with that, I fell into a deep sleep.Three days later, Ariana came back, her armor worn out and her face looking weary, which made me very concerned.Mom, why did it take you so long to come back? I was worried about you.I gestured in sign language."I'm sorry, sweetheart, how have you been these days?" My mom hugged me.Not good at all. Why didn't you inform me earlier before going on a mission far away? Did something happen with the Blood Moon Clan?I looked at my mother with some reproach.She showed some concern, as if contemplating something. "Ella, don't wor
5 years later Kevin’s POV I awoke from a dream, opened my eyes, turned over, and found a naked unfamiliar female wolf beside me. I furrowed my brow, sat up; yesterday's drinking had left my head slightly dizzy. "Good morning, Alpha Kevin." The female wolf lay half-propped, caressing my neck seductively. "Alpha, you were wild yesterday. I'm all weak and wet now, can hardly stand." "Now, leave." She looked briefly surprised, then nervously licked my ear. "Alpha Kevin, fuck me again." "Don't make me say it a second time." I growled lowly, fed up with the strong perfume scent, pushing her away. She trembled, grabbed a random shirt, and hurriedly fled. I stared at the closed door, my eyes filled with gloom. Beta Liam's taste in women was truly lacking. I dialed Liam's phone. "Liam, come to my room now." Before he could answer, I stood naked and walked into the bathroom. 15 minutes later, I emerged from the bathroom. Beta Liam stood by the bed, staring at the torn clothes scatter
