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
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
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
