Ariane’s POV
After he disappeared from sight, I stepped into the office. The busy and bustling atmosphere with the sound of typing on the keyboard and the chatter of my coworkers immediately greeted me. However, my mind couldn’t fully focus on work. The beautiful flowers that Mark bought were still in my head, giving a new color to my day.As time went by, I started to finish the work that was waiting. Every time I thought of Mark, I felt a warm feeling flowing. Even though I was still traumatized by my past relationship, his presence seemed to give a new light to my life that had been dark.In the midst of my business, every now and then, I glanced towards the window, hoping to see Mark again. Suddenly, the sound of the phone ringing startled me. It was my mother.“Hi, Ariane! How are you today?” my mother asked in a cheerful tone.“Okay, Mom. Work as usual. And… yes, I’m fine,” I answered a little hesitantly. I didn’t want to worry MomAriane’s POVAfter a few moments, Leon took a deep breath, seemingly struggling between emotion and reality. Finally, he decided to leave, leaving some of the heavy air behind. “Okay, if that’s what you want, Ariane,” he said before leaving the room. After he left, I shook my head, feeling a little relieved but also tired. The atmosphere that had been warm with Mark now felt tense. “I’m sorry if this feels uncomfortable, Mark,” I said, trying to cool things down. “It’s okay, Ariane. This is probably part of the process you have to go through. I’m here if you need support,” Mark replied, his smile once again patting away the emptiness in my heart. As I continued my work, I knew this wasn’t over yet, but I could feel my inner strength slowly starting to recover. I'm ready to face the emotional turmoil of my wolf from the past and take what comes next slowly, one step at a time. That night, after tidying up and preparing the place for
Ariane’s POVInstantly, I felt a new spirit within me. With the presence of my baby, all the pain and uncertainty felt lighter. I knew, now, I had started a new chapter in my life—from a struggling woman, now a mother who was ready to give all the love to her daughters.The three of us were in an intimate moment as I held her, feeling her warm breath near me. Although this journey may not always be smooth, I am determined to face all the challenges that will come with love and happiness, together with my newborn soul. After giving birth to two twin daughters, I tried to give them exclusive breast milk, wanting to ensure that my little ones get the best nutrition. However, the pain of the labor process is still felt, making my days feel very challenging. Even so, I am determined to go through all this, embracing every moment as a mother.Only two babysitters help me here. They have become invaluable figures in my new life as a mother. Often, when i
Ariane’s POVThe fatigue that still hung over my body was now filled with new enthusiasm. Slowly, I held both of my mothers in my arms, feeling the warmth of their little bodies. We are here together, and there is no obstacle that we cannot face—as a family and as wolves united. With them, I know that this journey has just begun, and although many things may be uncertain, I am confident that this love and commitment will guide me. Every day is a new step, and I will continue to walk confidently towards a future full of hope. I named them Zara and Zoya, two beautiful names for my twin daughters. Every time I heard their names, I felt a warmth envelop my heart. Zara and Zoya have special meanings; Zara means “princess” or “blooming flower,” while Zoya means “life” and “light.” In my mind and heart, I felt lucky and grateful to be their mother. Even though the pain still accompanied my every movement, I was determined not to give up. I didn’t want
Ariane’s POVHearing Mark’s name, my feelings were mixed. He was indeed a kind person, and remembering that he ignored my situation to send food made me feel very appreciated. “Oh, so it’s from him,” I said, a little touched.“Well, there’s no harm in trying it. Besides, we can’t push ourselves too hard,” Lia added, a gentle smile on her face encouraging me.Finally, I decided to accept the food that Mark sent. “Okay, then. You and Mona should eat this. I’ll cook my own food,” I said with a smile. Lia and Mona immediately opened the food package that Mark had delivered, and the mouth-watering aroma immediately wafted into the air. “Wow, this looks delicious! You’re lucky, Ariane,” Mona said enthusiastically, taking out plates and neatly serving the food. While they enjoyed Mark’s food, I was busy preparing my own cooking. Although I really wanted it, I felt more comfortable relying on the food I was used to making. After serving th
Ariane’s POV “See? Less than five minutes and everything is fine,” Lia leaned close to me, making me smile. “Yes, thank you for all your help. I don’t know what I would have done without you,” I sincerely expressed my deep gratitude. With a sense of relief and joy, I once again held my two daughters in my arms. This precious moment reminded me that although there will always be challenges, I am not alone. There are people who are ready to help, and the love flowing from them will make this journey easier. Looking at the little faces of Zara and Zoya, I know that nothing is more precious than this journey and making memories with them. Living a new life as a mother is not easy, but with the support around me, I feel more confident in this journey.*A month after giving birth, I have fully recovered. My body feels stronger, and all the annoying symptoms have disappeared. Today is a special day because I finally go back to work. It feels mix
Ariane’s POV Mark just stood there, as if he didn’t get my hint. “I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I worry about you sometimes, you know,” he said, his tone more affectionate.I really didn’t know how to respond. On one hand, I appreciated his concern, but on the other, I felt like I needed to distance myself and focus on my work, especially given the mood I’d been in for the past month.“Thanks, Mark, but I’m fine. Now, if you don’t mind, I need to get on with my work,” I said firmly, hoping it would push him out of my mind. After a few long seconds, she finally nodded. “Okay, I’ll go. But if you need any help or want to talk, feel free to call me,” she said, before turning to leave. I let out a sigh of relief. The tiredness and tension from that interaction began to subside. Now, my focus was on finishing my work and going back to my apartment to be with my two daughters whom I had left all day. By the way, so far I hav
Ariane’s POV “Does that mean the Blue Moon Pack forces led by my father have defeated the Black Moon Pack forces?” I asked, trying to calm the tension in my mind. If so, this was a very serious situation and could change a lot of things between all of us. My mother didn’t seem too concerned. “That seems true. They are always looking for opportunities to gain power. And now, Leon is in danger,” she replied, her voice flat, devoid of emotion. A mixture of emotions filled my heart. Even though Leon was a part of my past that I wanted to forget, hearing that he was dying made me feel trapped in a complicated situation. Should I feel sorry for him? Should I help him or just let him get hurt? “This is a complicated situation, Mom. Why are you telling me this now? Do you expect me to feel sorry for you?” I said, still in a harsh tone. For me, it wasn’t just about Leon. Deep down, it was also about my compulsion to come to terms with a past that I didn’t
Ariane’s POV Unfortunately, my children are only a month old, and they certainly don't know what a picnic is. Even so, I talked about the plan in the context of the future, when they are older and can be sensitive to their surroundings. I just want to give the best for my two daughters, creating beautiful memories that they will remember when they can understand the world better. The next day, I woke up early and started preparing breakfast for myself as a provision for work. Meanwhile, for the babysitters, I let them cook or buy their own food. They were already quite independent and self-sufficient, so I felt like this was the right decision.After getting everything ready, I looked at the clock and realized that time was running out. “I’m going now,” I said, gently touching my two daughters’ heads. At that time, they were sound asleep in their beds.Before I left, I kissed my two daughters softly, savoring the warm moment. “Mommy will be back soo
Ariane’s POVZoya smiled widely, “We love it too, Mom! Especially if we can play on the beach after breakfast.”“Right! We can build sandcastles or play beach volleyball,” Zara added, her eyes sparkling with excitement.After breakfast, we all headed to the beach. The soft white sand felt warm beneath our feet. Zara and Zoya immediately ran towards the water, while Mark and I followed behind. We laughed and joked, feeling the simple yet precious joy.Mark looked at me. “Look, Dad! I can make a bigger sandcastle than yesterday!” Zoya exclaimed, starting to dig in the sand with her bare hands.Zara nodded in agreement, “Let’s build it together! We can add the shells we found yesterday.”We all got involved in creating a grand sandcastle. Every shell we found became a decoration to beautify the castle. As the sun rose higher, we had successfully built a magnificent sandcastle, complete with towers and sturdy walls.Savoring melt
Ariane’s POV “Look how happy they are,” Mark whispered. “You are the reason behind their smiles.”I looked at the kids, gratitude filling my heart. I knew my life might not be perfect, but the love I had was everything. I promised myself to keep fighting, not just for myself, but for my family.“Thank you, Mark,” I said sincerely. “For always being here for me.”“Forever, Ariane,” Mark replied, gazing at me with love. “We’ll face anything together.”With renewed spirit, I moved forward, ready to tackle every challenge that came our way. I knew that although life was full of uncertainties, the love and support of my family would always be the light guiding me.That night, the sky was adorned with twinkling stars, creating a magical atmosphere at the beach. The waves gently crashed, as if singing a lullaby to anyone who listened. I, Luna, stood at the edge of the shore, feeling the cool night breeze brush against my face. This was
Ariane’s POVNot long after, Mark rushed in. His face showed deep panic, and I could feel how much he loved us. He immediately came to me, holding my hand gently. "Honey, how are you? Has the doctor told you anything?"I shook my head. "Not yet. Still waiting for the test results."Mark sighed, and I could see the burden he carried. He always tried to be the pillar of strength for us, and I knew how hard it was for him to see me in this state.Zoya, who had been playing in the corner, now approached. "Mom, I want to draw for you," she said cheerfully, trying to divert our attention. She pulled out her sketchbook and colored pencils from her bag and began drawing with enthusiasm.Watching Zoya so cheerful eased my worries a bit. She reminded me that even though life was full of challenges, there was still happiness to be found within it. I tried to stay positive, although the shadows of fear continued to haunt me.After a while, the do
Ariane’s POVI chose to follow both of them, feeling the excitement around us. The sounds of footsteps, laughter from children, and soft music from a nearby café added to the atmosphere. Every corner of the mall seemed to offer something interesting. We paused briefly in front of a food stand, where the spicy and sweet aromas of street food enticed our appetites."How about we try some snacks after this?" I suggested, hoping to satisfy my hunger. Zara and Zoya nodded in agreement, our exploratory spirit growing stronger. We continued this little adventure with high curiosity, ready to find a restaurant that could satisfy our bellies and provide us with unforgettable experiences.After a while, Zara emerged from the bookstore with two novels in her hands. "Mom, this is the book I was looking for!" she exclaimed with a wide smile. I was thrilled to see her so excited. Meanwhile, Zoya appeared from the clothing store with several dresses she had tried on. "Mom, lo
Ariane’s POVTime truly flies. It feels like just yesterday I was carrying Zara and Zoya as toddlers, and now they are entering their vibrant teenage years. At 15, my twin daughters have grown into beautiful girls with unique personalities. Zara, always cheerful and full of energy, often becomes the center of attention. Meanwhile, Zoya, who is quieter and more introspective, has a charm of her own that makes many want to get to know her better.As we sat together in the living room, Zara suddenly broke the silence. "Mom, there's a boy who's been approaching me," she said, her face flushing red. I could see how nervous she was, but there was also a sparkle of happiness in her eyes. "He's nice, but I'm confused, Mom. What should I do?"I smiled, feeling proud yet worried. "Zara, you don't have to rush. Try to get to know him better. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and safe with him," I replied, recalling my own teenage years.Zara n
Ariane’s POV We immediately began planning every detail. Rani took out her phone and started recording our voices, while Mark and I prepared the tools we would need. We knew our time was limited. The full moon would reach its peak in a few hours, and we had to be ready.As the night grew late, we moved toward the location we had chosen. It was an open field surrounded by tall trees. From there, we could see the full moon clearly, and Leon would not be able to hide from its light.When we arrived at the field, the atmosphere felt tense. Rani set her phone on one side, while Mark and I prepared on the other. We waited with bated breath, hoping our plan would succeed.Not long after, we heard heavy footsteps approaching. Leon emerged from behind the trees, his large and intimidating figure. His sharp eyes fixed on us, and I felt fear envelop me. But I knew we couldn't back down now."Now!" Mark shouted, and Rani immediately played the recording
Ariane’s POV Mark paused for a moment, looking at me with eyes full of determination. "We will prepare. We have strength and support from our pack members. We will not let Leon take over."Hearing his words made me feel a little calmer. However, the fear of what might happen in the future couldn’t fully dissipate. Leon was a cunning enemy, and I knew he wouldn’t hesitate to use any means to achieve his goals.The following days were filled with preparations. Mark and I worked together with the other pack members to strengthen our defenses. We held regular meetings, discussing strategies and how to face Leon if he returned. Every night, I stayed awake, listening for sounds outside, hoping no one would approach.When the full moon shone brightly, I felt tension in the air. Mark and I stood on a hilltop, watching our territory. "I can feel something," I said, my voice shaking. "It seems he’s getting close."Mark nodded, his face serious. "We nee
Ariane’s POVEvery attack Mark launched felt like lightning striking, while Leon skillfully dodged and countered with swift strikes. However, as time passed, Mark began to take control. He unleashed all his abilities, exploiting every opening. The shouts of the onlookers watching the fight intensified the spirit of both fighters.When Mark managed to knock Leon down for the first time, cheers erupted around us. But Leon didn’t give up. He got back up, even though he was weary. "I won’t surrender!" he shouted, challenging Mark to continue the fight.Mark, feeling the pressure from Leon’s fighting spirit, caught his breath. He knew this wasn’t just about physical strength, but also about mental resilience. With a swift movement, he launched an attack that sent Leon reeling. In an instant, Mark seized the moment and delivered a final blow that brought Leon crashing to the ground.Leon lay sprawled, his face showing pain and defeat. "This isn’t over," he s
Ariane’s POVThey resembled wolves but had human bodies. “Let me go!” I cried, but unfortunately, they didn’t listen and took me to prison. How shocked I was to find that it was Leon, my ex-husband, who had done all this to me. Mark, my husband, would certainly be worried about me right now.I woke up in darkness, the cold walls surrounding me sending chills down my spine. The rumbling sounds outside my cell reminded me of my father, the late King Alpha. The memory of our last meeting was still fresh in my mind, when he hugged me and promised to always protect me. But now he was gone, and I was trapped in a worse situation.“Leon,” I whispered, the name of my former husband who had now become an enemy. He was someone I once loved, but now he was the traitor who had betrayed my family. Why was he doing this? Why had he brought me here?I tried to struggle, but the bindings on my hands were too tight. Footsteps approached, and the cell door creaked open.
