Ella’s POV "This is terrifying. Who could have used such a malicious method to kill our guards?" Holly asked. "Could it be the werewolves from the Black Moon clan?" Sophie added, her voice trembling. "Girls, detecting isn't our job. As physicians, our duty is to use our expertise to determine the cause of death of the guards, to prevent new werewolves from falling victim to the same fate," Dr. Helena said sternly. "After the examination just now, do you have any other findings?" "Well... only the DNA of 5 missing werewolves was detected on that batch of ashes, and nothing else was found. Under the microscope, the bodies of the werewolves seemed to have been melted by something," Lily said. "So, perhaps other missing werewolves might still be alive?" Holly asked. "Not necessarily. The fact that the perpetrator effortlessly abducted our guards from our heavily guarded and concealed forest, leaving no trace, indicates a meticulously planned operation," Beta Aaron interjected, then
Ella's POV "Stop, stop now, everyone, don't go any deeper into the forest!" I shouted desperately, hoping it wasn't too late. Dr. Helena and Holly halted, looking at me with confusion, but Ada and the other soldiers seemed oblivious, continuing forward, and the ringing grew louder. "Dr. Helena, Holly, quickly stop them, don't go any further! Can't you hear the bells? It's the bewitching sound of the illusion grass!" "What is illusion grass?" Holly asked. I didn't have time to answer her. I knocked out the two soldiers closest to me; their vacant eyes clearly showed they had lost their senses. "Oh my, Anna, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" I was frantic. "I'm not joking. They've lost consciousness. Knock them out now, or we'll all die here!" Dr. Helena gave me a deep look and swiftly knocked out the remaining wolf soldiers. Holly looked at Dr. Helena in astonishment, then gritted her teeth at me. "Anna, you better be right about this, or I won't spare you." She
Kevin’s POV Returning to the hotel, I carefully placed Ella on the bed, and Liam instinctively closed the door to the room. I watched Ella sleeping peacefully, her steady breathing calming my inner turmoil. A week of longing had kept me from getting too close to her, but now I found myself gently tucking strands of her hair behind her ear, my gaze drifting to the furrow of her brow, and I smiled. "Ella, your brow is becoming more and more like your mother's. You've inherited her beauty." With just the two of us in the room, her scent intoxicated me. I leaned in to smell her neck, a blend of pear and faint lemon, causing my heart to race. Kevin, this past week we've missed her so much. Our mate not only inherited her mother's beauty but also her mother's courage and wit. Eric whispered softly, as if afraid to wake Ella. "Yes," I replied, sinking into memories. "I was wrong before. Ella is definitely not a worthless Omega. She's brave. She saved Hunter Zachary's son by giving hi
Kevin's POV Kevin, you missed the chance to ask Ella about that necklace. Eric muttered discontentedly. I sighed helplessly, "I also wanted to ask, but didn't you feel that Ella wasn't very willing to talk to me? We had an argument last week, and she must feel awkward seeing me. If I were to ask her now, 'Which man gave you that necklace?' or 'Did another man propose to you?' Do you think that would be appropriate?" Eric pondered for a moment, tilting his head in confusion, What's wrong with that? Kevin, love needs to be spoken out loud. If you're not straightforward, Ella will run off with another male wolf. I even tried to communicate with her wolf, only to be rejected. It's really sad. You know, that Luke lives near Luna Manor. I rubbed my forehead in frustration; sometimes, talking to wolves is really tiring. "Yes, they're still mad at us. Just think, if you and I had a big fight, and you saw me extremely annoyed, not even wanting to talk to me. Yet, I always persist in cha
Ella's POVBack at the manor, Dr. Helena praised me in front of everyone."The successful completion of this business trip is all thanks to our new pharmacist Anna. She was bold and decisive in carrying out the mission, identifying the illusion grass at the first opportunity and saving all of our lives. Mrs. Willow hereby awards the 'Outstanding New Pharmacist Award' to Anna. Keep up the good work.""Wow, congratulations, Anna," Holly cheered."Anna, you're amazing. Before this, I didn't even know what illusion grass was. How did you know about such an obscure herb?" Sophie said, gripping my wrist."Yes, Anna, being from a medical family, your pharmacological knowledge indeed surpasses mine. You deserve this honor," Lily nodded, admiringly looking at me.I shyly scratched my head. In my previous 23 years of life, I had only faced prejudice and ridicule. Being praised by so many people for the first time made me nervous, unsure of where to put my hands."Anna, what are you standing the
Ella’s POV Today is Friday, and I'm responsible for collecting spare herbs in the herb garden. There's a greenhouse in the herb garden, where the herbs grow densely and in various types. I'm immersed in the world of herbs, almost forgetting everything around me. "Omega, congratulations on receiving the new pharmacist badge. Since you love herbs so much, how about I give you a yard?" A familiar male voice comes from behind me, and I don't need to guess; I know it's Luke. He strides arrogantly towards me, picks up my bamboo basket, and stares provocatively at me. I impatiently look at him, noticing the marks left on his handsome face from Kevin's beating. "Anna, don't you have anything to say?" Luke's tone is low and filled with anger. "That male wolf is from the Blood Moon Pack, right? How did you meet him?" I step back two paces, not directly facing his question. Honestly, I'm afraid he knows Kevin's identity. It would easily expose me as Ella Moore of the Blood Moon Pack, not t
Kevin’s POV After negotiating with Alpha Oscar and gaining freedom to enter and exit the Blue River Pack's territory, I couldn't wait to find Ella. I learned from a she-wolf that she was in the herb garden. The herb garden was not far from the Alpha camp, about half an hour away. As Liam and I arrived at the herb garden, I couldn't help but imagine Ella's expression upon seeing me again so soon. Would she be surprised or embarrassed? I found it amusing to think she probably didn't expect me to sort things out with Alpha Oscar so quickly. Thinking about this, I felt proud and joyful. However, as I opened the gate to the garden, I witnessed this scene. Two blue male wolves were fighting inside the fence, while Ella anxiously tried to break it up. What the hell was going on? I was completely puzzled. When I caught the scent of one of the blue guys and realized it was identical to Luke's, my pupils dilated with anger. "Luke, Henry, please, stop fighting. You're trampling the her
Ella's POV I thought I had made myself clear to Kevin, but when he and his Beta showed up at my lab door the next day, I felt really annoyed. "Good morning, Anna," "Good morning, Holly," I absentmindedly greeted. Holly bumped my shoulder and whispered, "Look at those two handsome male wolves outside the window, especially the one in the black trench coat with blue eyes. He's so drool-worthy. They've been lingering outside the door. Could they be looking for one of our lab's female wolves?" "Uh, I'm not sure," I said, feeling uneasy. Just ten minutes ago, I saw Kevin and Liam trailing behind me, and when they were about to catch up, I quickly got into the lab and shut the door, keeping them out. The nerve of this guy, following me to work. "And just now as I passed them, I noticed they were carrying a basket with sandwiches, pastries, and milk." Me: ...... "Oh, Anna, look, they seem to be eyeing you." "That, that must be your imagination. I don't know them," I denied, contro
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
