Regis’s POVI watched the video I took once. But the feeling was satisfying. Now, I need to wait for the perfect time to send this to the Elder’s association.‘That was after I found the Alpha King.’If I send this right now, there will be an uproar in the Black Lake Pack. Elizabeth’s father will be in danger because he will fight for his daughter’s rights until the end. If the Elder decides to put this case down, then we have no choice but to accept it. Unless I have the Alpha King with me.“It is frustrating that I have to rely on someone just to protect Elizabeth. Tsss.”After monologuing alone, I sensed steps approaching me from behind. It was my old Gypsy, Henry.“Are you fine in this hotel? This is smaller than the first one.”“Don’t care. Don’t bother. Wherever I go, I can smell Philip’s annoying Pheromone.”“You really hate him. And I won’t blame you for that. He stole your Luna.”My Luna, Jasmine. I growled as my pupils turned back with anger. At this moment, I could remember
Elizabeth’s POV The wedding will be tomorrow. I am excited that Hogan and I will get married, but nervous because I know Philip has something under his sleeve. He would never plan this marriage and gain nothing. For sure, he was preparing something against Hogan. Aside from that, it was sad that my father would not be able to attend his daughter’s wedding. He doesn’t even have an idea where I am and what happened to me. There’s no phone here. Hogan does not have a phone either. Tomorrow in the Blood Moon Pack, I had to get a phone somehow so that I can contact Dad. “Knock, knock.” I looked forward and saw my he-wolf standing by the open door with a sweet smile on his lips. Hogan was carrying a large box in his hands. “I wonder what your thoughts are. You seemed so invested, and I felt a little bit jealous,” he said as he approached me. I could not help but chuckle. Hogan is a quiet guy, and he was nonchalant. But ever since we confessed and spent the night together, he seemed
[“During the wedding, put a small amount of that in Hogan’s drink.”]The letter dropped to the ground, and innately, I grabbed at the Gypsy stone dangling around my neck.Philip wanted to kill Hogan. If that is so, there’s a possibility that the liquid inside the bottle is poison!‘And he’s telling me to pour that in my groom’s drink?’ Hastily, I sat on the ground. I placed the necklace of Gypsy stone on the ground, opened the lid of the bottle, and poured a small amount of it on the stone.Gypsy stones can detect curses, poisons, and sorcery, so I thought it would help to know if the liquid in the bottle is poisonous. However, nothing happened.The stone was still green, and it had completely no reaction against the liquid.“If this is not poison, then what is it?”**The night passed in a blink of an eye and the wedding day arrived.Hogan and I walked together to the Blood Moon Pack. When we got there, Philip sent people and I got separated from Hogan.They said Hogan will be on hi
Philip’s POVEverything is going according to my plan. ** Beta Yhan came to my table, whispering information, “Alpha, the special guests will arrive shortly.”From my table, I looked at the newly married couple sitting at a good distance with food and drinks served on their table. They weren’t talking much to each other, maybe because they were being watched by the people in my pack.Who will feel comfortable if the guests at your wedding are people who despise being with you?“The Alpha of the Green Forest Pack said that he’s texting you, saying that he’d be late. But you’re not replying, so he thought you forgot the invitation. I came here after seeing his text to me,” Yhan said.Text?I groped my pocket and found out that my phone was missing. I probably left it in my room.“All right. I get it. Wait for his arrival and leave.”“Yes, Alpha.”As soon as the Beta left, I turned my head to my wife, my Luna, Jasmine. Just like what I expected, her expression was distorted upon hearin
Third Person’s POVThe wedding ceremony didn’t end just by the announcement that Elizabeth and Hogan are officially husband and wife.What’s to expect?Elizabeth knew that Philip arranged this small banquet so that she would have the chance to put the unknown liquid into Hogan’s drink.‘But there’s no need to worry. I told Hogan not to drink anything today, and I am sure he would not.’Even though the two of them hadn’t talked yet, Elizabeth held onto the belief that Hogan would trust her words.Because of Philip’s threat, Elizabeth must pour the liquid and show him that she was loyal to her mission. It was to protect her, and Hogan at the same time. That was Elizabeth’s plan even before the wedding started.And so, Elizabeth poured the liquid on Hogan’s wine while he was not looking.‘Please, don’t drink it. Please.’She clutched her necklace tightly while looking at Hogan holding the glass of wine.Hogan turned his head to her. Elizabeth smiled as if asking him to trust her in this.
Elizabeth’s POV Philip was planning to kill Hogan in this battle. And the drink that I dosed might do the job. Hogan and I didn’t have much time to talk, as the people in the Pack led him toward the Pack’s fighting arena. Does it make sense? They watched him marry his wife, and yet they wanted to see him fight? Just how much will they torment him! Inside the arena, the air thickened. The smells of werewolves around made me feel nauseous. I thought I might faint any second because of deep hatred towards this damn place. Drawing a deep breath while suppressing the urge to wolf out and express my anger, I looked in front and saw two tall men. One was standing on the left side. The other was standing on the right side together with the other nine werewolves from the Blood Moon Pack. Hogan and I looked at each other, and again, he gave me that ‘Don’t worry. I can do it,’ gaze, which ached my heart so badly. How can I not worry when I knew Hogan drank the dosed drink? I still don’t
Third Person’s POV Krrkls! The sound of the fallen object dropped the temperature inside the Alpha’s room. Philip looked at the doctor. His blue eyes sharpened, and his claws sharpened. He didn’t detect any presence at all, so he was relieved that no one was listening to his conversation with Jasmine. But what if there’s a werewolf, strong enough to conceal his or her presence? Will it bring trouble that there’s someone who found the secret he and Jasmine had been hiding all these years? Philip was determined to kill whomever it was. He let go of Jasmine and ran towards the opened door with a growl. “Grrll!” The fur appeared on his skin and his eyes narrowed. The outside, however, was empty. There’s a fallen vase on the floor, and beside it, there was a rat. “Was it just a rat?” Philip murmured. He looked down on the rat before he stepped on it. Squeak! The rat died under the weight of the Alpha’s feet. Philip’s blue eyes traced the pathway out of his house. He could not se
Third Person’s POV The battle between the Alpha of Green Forest and the ten strongest warriors from the Blood Moon Pack is about to start. From the lower part of the arena, Regis looked around. He saw Elizabeth back in her seat. Near her, there was Joseph. Joseph nodded his head to Regis as if to inform him that everything was right. Regis nodded back, telling him that he did a good job looking after Elizabeth. Then his golden eyes went to Hogan. Hogan was sitting on a long bench, together with the other nine werewolves. He was a loner sitting far from the majority as everyone wanted to avoid him. Regis, who was convinced that Hogan wasn’t cursed, raised his hand. He smiled at Hogan and waved his hand, something a close pal would do to his friend. The spectators who saw Regis waving his hand to the cursed rogue were surprised. Why would the Alpha of Green Forest Pack greet the cursed man? Are they close? Hogan doesn’t want to be caught – that he let Regis enter the borderline a
Hogan, Elizabeth, and Klide finished their dinner together. Klide went to sleep, and the couple went to take a bath together, to release the fatigue of today’s activities. Hogan cautiously put Elizabeth, with her clothes still on, down in the bathtub filled with warm water, looking anxiously into her. “Did you meet with Regis?” Afraid that her meeting with Regis would spike up her husband’s jealousy, Elizabeth quickly explained, “Yes. He came to wish me a good life. And bid his goodbye.” Hogan, who knew so well why Regis finally met his wife, only nodded his head. Actually, he was happy for Regis to sort out his feelings. And he wasn’t really scared that he would lose Elizabeth. No matter what happened, Elizabeth would remain on his side. Thinking that, he looked at his wife. The moonlight that melted into the thick darkness was seeping through the window. And Elizabeth was right under it. Lips that smiled at him and a cute nose bridge. Even her green eyes shone softly. Silve
Elizabeth’s POV It was a very emotional reunion for me. Although Regis and Hogan became close friends during the years they worked together, I did not have the chance to meet Regis alone and talk to him. It was as if he purposely avoided me for a reason that I did not know. Now, we’re sitting along the riverbanks. “The sun will go down, but I haven’t caught anything for our dinner,” I complained. “Thanks to the guy who stole my arrow.” Regis showed me his deep and sincere smile as he laughed. “Don’t worry. I caught a boar in advance.” Regis then pointed to the dead boar from afar, which he probably caught before meeting me. “And that’s the reason why I was complaining,” I said. “I noticed the boar and prayed you would give that in exchange.” We chuckled together before our eyes caught the beautiful sunset. “I heard that Elaina is dead,” Regis started. “Yes. She came into the King’s castle and even tried to kill me. Hogan and I sorted it out.” “As expected to the King.” “
Elizabeth’s POV Deep in the woods lies a log cabin where Hogan and I built our memories. Even if years pass by, the cabin has its natural beauty lit up by happiness. It was a place that many rogues avoided because of the curse, but for me, it glows even miles away. After Elaina died in public, Hogan and I finally went on vacation with our son, Klide. We will stay here for maybe a month. Being the Alpha King and the Queen of the Lunas came with huge responsibilities. And so, Hogan and I really prayed that no problem would arise during our stay in our cozy home. Inside the cabin, we were in front of the fireplace. We set a bed covered with soft cotton sheets, that would invite us to rest in our contentment. Lying on the bed together with Klide in our center, our kid began to ask us questions. “So, Mom and Dad met in this place?” I met Hogan’s red eyes before answering our son’s question. “Yes, Klide. Your dad and I first met here.” Klide looked up to his father and tossed ano
The next morning… As soon as the darkness was lifted and the sun rose, a guillotine was set up in front of the Alpha King’s castle. Those who heard the news gathered in a hurry as they wanted to witness the death of the Alpha King’s mate who tried to kill the Queen of the Lunas. The execution was so sudden that not all Alphas were present. It was partly due to the fact that it was no longer a serious issue. It was the execution of a rogue she-wolf, and no one cared about Elaina. Even so, the lady was related to Elizabeth, and many respected the Luna and showed kindness sitting in the seats next to the execution table, and onlookers who would enjoy others’ misfortunes and deaths for entertainment filled the area. Elizabeth also waited for Elaina, preparing to let go of the terrible past. Soon, Elaina appeared with chains around her wrists. She had a dazed look than Elizabeth had expected. “Get down!” Elaina was pulled by the coercive power of he-wolf and she was dragged onto t
Third Person’s POV It was after dark that Elaina woke up. Elaina opened her eyes in the black darkness because they had blocked all the windows and did not come in a single light, and she stared blankly at the darkness for a moment. Then suddenly, she heard the sound of a chain outside her room as if someone was opening a door that was locked using a chain. “You were awake. Tie her up!” Suddenly, several werewolf soldiers came into the room, and began to tie her up. “Let me go!” She shouted, but they only added strength to their hands, saying that she was making a noise. “No, set me free!” “Shut up! You’re a sinner. How dare you!” “You can’t do this to me! I am the King’s mate!” “The King’s mate! You are so shameless!” The soldiers seemed to have a lot of bad feelings toward Elaina, who had tried to kill the Alpha King, who had shown mercy on her. “How do you still have the nerve to say that you are Hogan’s mate after what you’ve done?” “I’ve seen so many sinners, but I’ve
Elizabeth’s POV Before going to the garden where my husband asked me to have tea with him, I asked him, “Why did you only invite me?” Hogan looked my way. “Kilde might want to join us too.” “He should not,” Hogan said before intertwining his hands in mine. “There are people and things I don’t want our kid to witness. And what might happen today will hurt Klide. So, I only took you.” Hogan stopped walking and held both of my shoulders. His expression was sweet, but his eyes were a bit sad and apologetic. “Elizabeth, I really wanted to act on my own and avenge all the bad things you had experienced in the past. But in this case, I knew that I should let you decide what to do.” I couldn’t understand what he was saying, not until I saw Elaina waiting for us in the garden. ‘So, this is what Hogan wanted to tell me. He wanted me to punish Elaina with my own hands.’ Just like how he punished Philip before. “Elizabeth, it’s been years since all the mess we faced before. I was kicke
Elaina’s POV A time for me to exact my revenge came. Once I succeeded in killing Elizabeth, I will comfort the King and treat their child as my own. And what will happen after that? Of course, as the King’s original mate, Hogan will fall in love with me, and I will be the new Queen of the Lunas. But before that, I have to make a plan on how to kill Elizabeth. I heard that b*tch is a Gypsy. I can’t attack her right away and stab her with a knife. ‘Hogan will kill me for sure.’ If I use poison, her power as a Gypsy will heal her either way. ‘Think Elaina. Think of a way to kill that annoying b*tch.’ “What are you holding?” While washing the dishes, I turned my head and looked at the other maids conversing here in the kitchen. “This is a Gabro Poison. I used this to poison the rat in the castle. There are many of them recently.” “Are you nuts? Why are you using Gabro? The Alpha King banned using that since last month.” “Really? I did not know. Why?” “It seemed that the Lun
Elaina’s cheek reddened because of the maid’s slap. “Did… Did you just… raise your hand on me?” dumbfounded, Elaina asked. “You are so shameless. You don’t even know it gets dirty every time you walk.” Elaina, accustomed to the compliments given to her before, trembled with shame at the maids’ one-sided insults. “You b*tches. I’ve been so annoyed that you talked down to me. I am the King’s guest. You’ll definitely be punished if Hogan knows of this!” She shouted as if she was above the maids, and the maids hardened like ice water in the bathroom for a while. Elaina calmed herself as if she thought she had given a fatal blow at them and regained her lofty look, which did not suit her appearance. But she was mistaken. The maids looked at each other and soon laughed as if it was ridiculous. “Did you hear that? Oh my god, she must be crazy.” “Did she say she is the Alpha King’s guest?” “You’re saying that with that dirty, miserable appearance. Excuse me, Miss, you are just a lowl
Third Person’s POV Elaina was brought into a dark and cold room. ‘Even if he knew that I was his mate, he gave me a cold room!’ Cursing inwardly, Elaina crouched roundly as it was hard to overcome the cold, worry, and fear. As soon as her face was buried in the arms on her crouched knees, she waited for anything that would lead her to Elizabeth. ‘I need to see you. And once I do, I will kill you, Elizabeth. Hogan will be mine.’ Suddenly, the tough footsteps gradually came to Elaina, and shortly afterward, the footsteps stopped in front of her room. “Come one.” Elaina looked up at her head in a flash, as she heard a voice. It was one of the guards Hogan asked to look over her. The guard opened the door and his furrowed forehead glanced over Elaina’s shabby and miserable appearance. “Come out. Quick.” “Y-Yeah. Wait a minute.” Elaina, who was known for her beauty back in the Black Lake pack, stood up pathetically. She gave her feet full of power and got out of her small room.
