Kevin's POV Alcohol corroded my reason, and James' face turned into Luke's in my eyes, and then I crazily beat him. However, when Beta Liam appeared and tightly grabbed my wrist, I felt the flames of anger burning even stronger in my heart. I punched Liam in the face with dissatisfaction, and he immediately covered the injured area, but didn't let go of me. "Damn it! Liam, stop meddling, " I roared. "Alpha, calm down!" Liam's voice carried a hint of helplessness and understanding. "Let go of me." I commanded him with Alpha's authority, he was hesitant, and the werewolves in the club cast surprised glances, which intensified the manic emotions within me. "If you damn well keep looking, I'll gouge your eyes out!" I snarled viciously. Everyone instantly averted their gaze, then quickly stepped back, I could feel their fear, but I had lost control by now. Liam struggled to hold me, trying to calm me down. "Alpha, listen to me, I understand you, but you can't vent like this. Ella doe
Liam’s POV "Bro, don't grab my clothes like that. If you treat me this way, I'll tell Dad!" Maya exclaimed hysterically, her sharp voice nearly shattering my eardrums. I reluctantly seized her hands and hoisted her onto my shoulder, ignoring her protests as I carried her back home. "Liam, is this what you find amusing? You're Kevin's beta and my brother. If you won't help me, are you going to help those bitches who are trying to seduce Kevin?!" Faced with my silence, Maya grew frantic, shouting my name, furrowing my brow. "Maya, precisely because you're my sister, I have to stop you from doing anything embarrassing or offensive to the Alpha." "How am I embarrassing you? Liam, do you think being a Beta makes you so great? Stop telling me what to do!" She retaliated by kicking her legs forcefully, almost slipping off my back. I opened the car door and dumped her into the passenger seat. "Maya, I've warned you before. Kevin doesn't love you; he loves Ella. By persistently followin
Kevin’s POV The next day, when I woke up in the hotel and recalled what happened at the club yesterday, I sighed and rubbed my aching forehead, reluctantly calling Liam. "Good morning, Alpha." "Good morning, and now, come pick me up and take me back to the camp." "Alright, but Alpha, there's something I need to inform you about beforehand." "What?" Without even thinking, I could guess that I had beaten up James yesterday, and he would surely go back and tell his father, Elder George. "Elder George came to the camp to report to Mr. Peter that you had fought his son, and Mr. Peter is very angry now." "Alright, I see." I raised my eyebrows nonchalantly, unsurprised, and hung up the phone. George was the most ill-tempered of the three elders in our pack. In contrast, Liam's father, David, was the most gentle. Therefore, they always had disagreements during meetings due to differing viewpoints. Upon arriving at the camp, I opened the door to my father's office. Elder George and P
Kevin’s POV In the evening, my father and I had some wine with dinner and chatted for a long time. My father was pleased. With George's matter resolved, the Blood Moon Pack's years-long civil war was nearing its end. He hoped I could bring Ella back, and I promised him I would do my utmost. "Alpha, our werewolves found a Rogue group at an abandoned factory 3 kilometers away," Liam entered my study, his face unusually serious. "Any other information?" I closed the map. "Yes, Alpha. According to intelligence, these Rogues are not ordinary. At least, they are of leadership level." "Why do you say so?" "From our last prisoners, we released a black wolf and installed a bug on it. Through the bug, I heard the black wolves referring to one of them as 'my lord.'" I raised an eyebrow and licked my fangs. After searching for 5 years, I finally dug up useful information about the Rogue leader, which excited me greatly. "Very well, inform the werewolves to prepare. We'll take them down t
Ella’s POV What kind of person is my father? I returned to my room and sat by the dressing table, scrutinizing my reflection in the mirror, trying to find traces of my father in my face. My mother once said that my father passed away unexpectedly before I was born, but she never elaborated on the details. I never asked for fear of upsetting her, and over time, I forgot about it. Lucy, could we possibly be wolf from the Blue River pack? I called out to my wolf. Lucy looked puzzled and scratched her head. I'm not sure either, but as Camila said, our fur is indeed blue, so perhaps your father really was a wolf from the Blue River pack. Me: If he was from the Blue River pack, what was his status? I'm thinking maybe I still have other family members. Yes, it's very likely. Alpha Oscar, Kevin's father, might know something about your father. You know, your mother was his Beta, and they had a good relationship. Oh, Lucy, you're so smart. I stood up eagerly and rushed to open the w
Ella’s POV I looked into the empty eyes of the coachman, trembling as I patted his face. There was no vitality. I glared at the man in the black trench coat in disbelief. "We saved you, yet you killed him. You ungrateful beast." He casually twisted his wrist, nonchalantly scratching his neck, as if killing someone was of no consequence. Filled with a sense of impending danger, I propped myself up and bent down to retrieve a surgical knife from the medical kit. Suddenly, a large hand descended from the top of the carriage, pressing me down forcefully. I felt an immense pressure instantly, making it difficult to breathe. "Let go of me!" I struggled, but the hand tightly squeezed my throat, nearly suffocating me. "Don't move, behave, or face the consequences," the man's voice sounded beside my ear, tinged with a sickly growl. "Let go, you bastard!" I continued to resist. Fear surged within me like a tidal wave. This man had just killed my coachman, and now he was coming after me!
Ella’s POV What exactly is this place? Auctioning werewolf is illegal, devoid of human rights. Whether it's the Blood Moon pack or the Blue River Tribe, such things would never occur. The auctioneer's smooth voice echoed continuously in the room, exciting and anticipating the audience. I strained to capture snippets of conversation, hoping to glean some clues about what was happening or why I was here. "It's truly a rare specimen," whispered a distinguished middle-aged man sitting in the front row, his eyes predatory as they locked onto me. "I must add her to my collection." "Indeed, she would make a wonderful addition to any family," replied another woman sharply, her features sharp, her gaze calculating. "Of course, provided the price is right." They each had a placard on their seats indicating their respective identities and species; the man was a vampire count antique collector, while the woman was a nightclub cat shifter. The dwarf on the stage nodded in agreement, a smirk
Ella’s POV If this is a nightmare, I hope I can wake up as soon as possible. However, the cold touch on my wrist shattered my imagination and reminded me that everything that happened was real. I was injected with tranquilizers and was put in a car while I was drowsy. "Mr. Ronald, this is her physical information. As you know, we no longer allow returns after the goods are sold." A man said. "I understand." The other man replied with a smile. Through the fog in my brain, I could feel anger at the words even as I hoped that it was a dream. Was I the one being likened to a good sold? They must be crazy. I was too conscious of the mess that I was in that I didn't have time to think of the death of the coachman as I had for the past few days. I sniffled, trying to breathe but it was hard. My throat felt constricted and my muscles were weaker than it had ever been. I was an omega wolf, usually weaker than the others but this was a new low, even for me. I felt like a bunch of vegetab
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
