Elizabeth’s POV Hogan was PROBABLY not cursed. If what Alpha Regis said is true, that means Hogan doesn’t need to worry if I will die or not. I have no knowledge about Gypsis. But I really hope they can detect curses and prove that Hogan was free from the curse. “Then, if Hogan was not cursed and his friends died…” [“You mean s-someone killed my friends?”] When Hogan asked the question, the first person who came to my mind was Philip. He wanted to kill Hogan so there’s a high chance he was the one who killed his friends in the past. But given how loyal Hogan is to the Blood Moon Pack, he probably finds it difficult to suspect the Alpha. Is there a way to know if Philip was the culprit? I held the pot in my hands, forgetting that the handle was hot. “Ouch!” I withdrew my hand and blew on them. “That’s hot~” “Are you fine?” Hogan came into the kitchen. He grabbed pot holders and transferred the pot onto the table. Then, he went back to me to see my hands. “I am fine. It i
“To find the Alpha King.” Alpha King refers to an Alpha Male that is ultimately superior and therefore holds complete dominance over all others. He reigns supremely dominant over all other Alphas, betas, and omegas alike. Having an Alpha king means getting the protection the packs need to ensure the survival of our species in the long run. However, it’s been years since packs live without an Alpha king. They said that the next Alpha King will be born a hundred years from now on. And yet, Regis came to the Blood Moon Pack to find the Alpha King. It is like hearing a story I only heard when I was a child. ‘An Alpha King. The strongest among Alphas.’ It felt like a dream. “The Gypsy said that the Alpha King is living among us. They can recognize an Alpha King right away,” Regis explained. I, who was immersed in the story, began to ask questions. “Did you find a clue?” “The only thing I know is that he’s alive. The Gypsy could feel their presence. However, we don’t know where
Hogan’s POV Elizabeth wanted to meet the Alpha King. Why? Elizabeth is a weak werewolf who trains harder than anyone because she wants to be strong. It was to protect herself. Considering that, I cogitated about reasons for Elizabeth to see the strongest werewolf among werewolves. Am I not enough to protect her? Will Elizabeth leave me once she finds someone stronger than me? It was absurd to feel hatred towards the Alpha King whom I had never seen, just because I didn’t want Elizabeth to leave me. Yes, I admit it. I hope Elizabeth would stay by my side if my curse weren’t true. I’ll promise to train hard and show her that she doesn’t need that damn King’s protection. “Bringing an Alpha King will be a hard task, Miss Elizabeth.” “Really? Is there no other way?” “Well, if you come with me and travel with me, I guess there’s a way.” “Travel with you?” “Yup. If you become my Luna, that won’t be hard.” Ting! I dropped my fork, but not by accident. My eyes felt so hazy, they
Elizabeth’s POV While washing the dishes, I kept thinking about the Alpha King whom Regis was searching for. If a strong Alpha exists, I was full of hope that I could ask for his help to save me and Hogan. If he agrees, then I don’t need to follow Philip’s order. I can save Hogan from Philip’s scheme. Yet, every grandiose dream has an equivalent duty. [“If you become my Luna, that won’t be hard.”] The Luna of the Alpha of Green Forest Pack. It is a position that would make a greedy woman like Elaina so jealous. Maybe if she hears this, she will go and steal Regis, saying that I am not capable enough to be the Luna of the second strongest pack. In fact, being Regis’s partner was the best offer I received so far. If I become his wife, taking revenge, and getting protection will be easy. Although I had no idea why Regis offered me that position, I knew deep inside that it was the best choice. However, I can’t get Hogan out of my head. My dream has changed ever since my mate rej
Elizabeth’s POV The first time I tried to walk inside the restricted room, Hogan was so mad; I thought he would kill me. Yet now, he opened it willingly and even invited me inside. The small square room was simple. Wall was white but the window frames were dark red. There was a bed in the center, a cabinet in the corner, and a pile of boxes on the table next to the window. Among these, Hogan was hiding a big part of his fear. And whatever it is, I shouldn’t dig up the memories unless he was ready to share them. Well, coming here was a huge step towards his heart. ‘I wish I could know more.’ “I cleaned the bed,” Hogan said while standing behind me. “I changed the bedsheet and placed new pillows.” The bed? I wasn’t worried about it at all. Looking around, the place was so clean, I knew Hogan came here from time to time to maintain the room. He probably did it while I wasn’t looking. “You can sleep on the bed. I will sleep on the floor,” Hogan added. I nodded my head but then
Hogan’s POVThe sunlight beamed down on my eyelids, threatening to blind me. I wanted to sleep more, but the faint sounds of the birds chirping outside kept me from entering the abyss.‘The house was quiet.’I perched up and surveyed the room. The blanket was neatly folded, and the bed was empty.‘Elizabeth isn’t here.’I got my feet up and exited the room to check the other room which I lent to Regis. The room was vacant, leaving only a small trace of blood on the bedsheet.
Elizabeth’s POV “Why did you come back?” Hogan lifted his face and was staring at me with his chest heaving. Look at those wild eyes. It was as if he was trying to figure out what to do with me. Was he disappointed that I stubbornly stayed even if he begged me to leave him alone? Was he… mad? “Because I need to cook for breakfast.” But when I answered that, I saw tears mist in his eyes and my chest squeezed. Instead of looking mad, he looked like a man who lost track of time while searching for me. ‘He’s sad. He felt so lonely thinking that I left him alone.’ But then again, I cannot misinterpret him again. Although I decided to forget the harsh words he told me last night, the pain I had would remain. “I thought if I exercised and trained while you were sl
Elizabeth’s POV Three hours ago… I woke up early and saw that Hogan was still sleeping on the floor. Then suddenly, a big hand covered my mouth. I nervously looked behind, only to see Regis. “Shssh,” he hushed me and mouthed [“Follow me outside.”] I followed Regis outside Hogan’s cabin, wondering how he perfectly concealed himself. Hogan didn’t wake up despite his intrusion. “A strong Alpha can conceal his presence,” Regis answered as if he could read my mind. “Is that your other way of saying that you are strong?” I asked back. Regis shrugged his shoulders and smiled. His arrogance showed that he was far better than yesterday, and I am glad he recovered. “I am going now,” he said. “I don’t want to bid goodbye to Hogan since he doesn’t like me anyway. Are you sure you would not change your mind? My offer is still free.” Alternatively, I stared at Regis and Hogan’s cabin. His offer was tempting, I was aware of that. But still… “My mind will not change. I will stay here,” I re
