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
Warning: Contains disturbing scenes** ** Elizabeth’s POVI am inside my house, waiting for Father to come home. He needs to come and help stop the wedding at all costs.Sighing by the window, I saw a bird flapping its wings rapidly. My eyes narrowed at the sealed rolled paper on its feet.‘A letter?’ For whom?The bird didn’t leave the window as if it was waiting for me to open it for her. Trusting my guts, I opened the window. Cute little bird entered my room and landed beautifully on my desk.“Did you come here for me?”Of course, the bird cannot talk. It only tilted its head, as if trying to understand my words.I looked around the house before getting the sealed letter from its feet. When I opened the note, I read the content.[“We will come and save you. Hogan is still unconscious, but he’s safe. Put your mother’s name on a small paper and give it back to the bird. - Regis”]The bird can only take small paper, and that’s why Regis’ message was so short. Still, this letter did
Regis’s POVOn the way to the Black Lake Pack, I looked outside the window with a small letter in my hand.The day was dark.Clouds covered the sun, and everything looked dull beneath the gloomy sky. Tonight, will be the full moon, but with this weather, the event would look lifeless; too dismal for a wedding day.“Even the Goddess of Moon is against this marriage,” I whispered, clenching Elizabeth’s letter which was brought by the small bird.The strongest Gypsy in the Green Forest, Diana. She is Elizabeth’s mother, and also my mother’s best friend.“Who would have thought that the necklace had already reached its owner,” Henry, who was sitting next to me, said. “Diana gave her necklace to your mother before she left our pack. It was her gift for you, Alpha because she prayed for your safety and for you to protect the person you treasure the most.”I almost burst out laughing at Henry’s words. It felt as if the Goddess of the Moon was playing a trick on us. She let me meet Elizabeth
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.
