Elizabeth’s POVI can’t marry Max.How can I marry someone else when I pledged my vow with Hogan?Standing in front of my house, I could still remember what Max told me before I left the car.[“See you at our wedding, my mate. And don’t think about escaping. I’ll follow you even to the end of the world.”]Having this dreadful suffocating emotion in my chest, I fetched a long sigh.‘Please, Hogan. Come quickly. I cannot fathom marrying an evil Alpha like Max. Hurry up and save me, again. This will be the last time I’ll beg you to take me with you.’“Welcome back, my daughter.”As I spaced out, Father came to me with a kiss on my forehead. I looked back at him and saw the huge smile on his face, as well as the tears brimming on his wrinkled eyes.“Your mother and sister are waiting for you inside. Let’s hurry up and meet them. I am sure they were excited to see you back.”Betty and Elaina.My eyes moved forward, and I looked at the house before me. The place where countless abuse happen
Elaina’s POV It was shocking for me. The Elizabeth I knew was a weak fragile woman who could not dare to send me provocation. I had never lost a fight against her. But now, she openly brought out her claws and emanated hostility. Philip never replied to my message. Max also warned me not to touch Elizabeth and to keep my mouth shut. I only yielded because there was this Alpha I met in the forest who took a video of me! And Max promised that he would find that man! But now, what should I do? Elizabeth had this languid gaze that made me so anxious and scared. I clenched my jaw, preventing the string of venomous words from leaving my mouth. I utterly despised this woman before me. “Is that true? Did you really abuse my daughter by not giving her food?” Father asked. The relaxed expression that Father usually wears was missing at this time. With his mouth closed in a straight line, the storm gathered in his eyes. He tilted his head back slightly and raised his eyebrows. It was then
Elizabeth’s POV All my years, I wondered what Elaina felt when she was looking down at me. Did she feel superior acting as if she was at the top? Looking at Elaina with my head up high, my wondering ceased. It wasn’t superiority as our perspectives for looking down on each other differed a lot. As for me, I was seeking justice and glory. Slapping Elaina and telling the truth to my father weren’t enough to teach Betty and Elaina their lessons. For all the things they did to me, kicking them out of the house would be too merciful. Nevertheless, I cannot let them stay in the house any longer. Especially when Elaina was capable of teaming up with Philip and asking him to kill me for good. I have to cut her fangs before she buries them at me once Father leaves for his duty. And that’s how it comes to this. Father heard that I hit Elaina because she stole my mate, which wasn’t a big deal for me right now. But that would be the best reason I can use to justify my anger. “Tell me the tr
Third Person’s POV Elizabeth’s father was standing by the window. Despite the cold, he stayed there, welcoming the cold wind. With the help of the bright moon, Elizabeth saw the twinkling of his eyes- tears with remorse and guilt. Watching her father, she felt sorrowful. Elizabeth approached him with a desolate look on her face. “Dad.” Paul turned his head to his daughter. “My dear.” It was a lie to say that Elizabeth never resented her father for bringing Betty and Elaina into her life. She did resent him. All resentment, however, dispersed. She was thankful that her father took her side and believed in her unconditionally. “You’re still up? I told you to rest,” Paul said. “I couldn’t sleep, Dad. Things happened too fast.” “You’re right. I took you out of the Blood Moon Pack, and then Betty and Elaina weren’t here anymore.” The season was changing, and the wind was turning colder than before. Black Lake has colder weather than there is in the Blood Moon. ‘For sure, Elaina
Max’s POV “They still could not find Hogan? He’s not in his Cabin or in the Blood Moon?” I asked Beta Richard. “Yes, Alpha. Hogan disappeared after the association visited the Blood Moon Pack.” “That son of a b*tch. Find him at all costs. And kill him in an instant. If you fail to do so, I’ll behead you instead.” “Copy this, Alpha. And about Miss Elaina, it seemed she and her Mother were thrown away from Paul’ house.” “I heard about that already. For sure, Elaina would come and visit me. Just let her in. I will deal with it.” Richard left me alone and I sat on the bed. “Elaina will beg to take her back,” I said with a scoff while caressing my bedsheet. “But I desire no one except my lovely Elizabeth.” Staring at the bed, I imagined the things I would do to my mate once we got married, and my lower body felt the sexual desire gnawing my insides like a swarm of ants. My hand went inside my pants, and I grabbed my meat as if holding it was my life-saving straw. I closed my ey
Elizabeth’s POV I rose with the sun today, lifting myself from the empty bed, that patch of dark warmth where I lay quickly evaporating into the morning air. ‘Elaina and Betty aren’t here anymore.’ Having that thought, the knot of anxiety that takes up near-permanent residence in my stomach loosened at this time, undone before the rest of the world awakened. I went outside to breathe in that new air. Everything is new without my evil stepmother and my nemesis. And yet the future was a bleak of dark and light, unlike the magnificent sunrise. I walked around watching the petrichor of dew on the fresh green grass here in the Black Lake, and soon, I arrived at Pack’s Hospital to meet my mother’s friend, Georgina. And when I met Georgina, the first news I received was about Elaina and Betty. “The guards found Betty’s bones in the middle of the woods. They said a group of wild rogues attacked them while they were on their way out of the borderline. Betty’s necklace and clothes were
Third Person’s POVYears ago…Diana bid her goodbye to her best friend, the Luna of The Green Forest Pack, Hansel.“Are you really sure about this, Diana? Not only will you leave your Pack, but you are going to leave your mate too, Adam,” Hansel said worriedly to her best pal.The beautiful Diana looked at the Luna of the Prestigious Green Forest. She smiled sweetly but sadly because she knew this might be their last conversation together.“I am sorry, Hansel. I had to leave and follow my heart. But I will love you and continue to treasure our friendship even if we’re living far away.”Teary, Hansel replied, “To think that the strongest Gypsy will leave her position for love, you really know how to surprise me, dear.”“Didn’t you like me because I am full of surprises?”Hansel cried as she hugged Diana. The two of them shared each other’s emotions, and after a long cuddle, they looked at each other with smiles. They were ready to part.“Even if I am far away, I will be loyal to the Al
Regis’s POV“An invitation to attend Max and Elizabeth’s wedding. What the f*ck.”I threw the wedding invitation. Joseph picked it up and dusted it on the hem of his shirt.My fury roared inside of me. I was so damn mad at Max, who was smart enough to design his marriage plan as soon as he got Elizabeth back at the Black Lake Pack.‘Attending Elizabeth’s wedding with Hogan was painful enough. Why do I have to go through with this again?’ Clouded by vehemence, I picked up my armor.“I will go to the Black Lake Pack right now and kill that f*cking bastard.”“Alpha!”Joseph was fast to block my way.“You can’t do that. The Elders’ Association had their eyes on us. And you can’t just kill another Alpha without a reason.”“I have many reasons though. Starting from the night he kidnapped his mate and threw her to the Blood Moon Pack.”“Alpha Regis,” Henry spoke.Breathing heavily, I looked at the old man.“We clearly understand your hatred against Alpha Max. And to tell you the truth, I wo
