Ariane’s POV
I had prepared special seats for them, complete with small pillows and cute bowls. The joy made my heart flutter. “Now, let’s try, shall we?” I said excitedly, holding the spoon that was ready.I started feeding Zara the vegetable puree first. Her expression was cheerful when the food touched her tongue, and it was clear that she liked it. “Hmm, yummy!” I said encouragingly, happy to see positive signs from my first daughter.However, when I tried to feed Zoya, a different reaction appeared. She pushed my spoon away and moved her face away, looking uninterested in the food I offered. “Oh, it’s okay, honey. Let’s try again, come on,” I said softly, trying not to feel disappointed.Mona saw the situation and came closer. “Ariane, this is normal. Every baby has preferences and it usually takes a few tries before they are willing to try something new. Don’t worry!” she said in a supportive tone.“That’s true, isn’t it?” I replied, fAriane’s POV “No, I have decided to take two days off,” I answered confidently. “Today I want to accompany my two daughters to eat complementary foods for breast milk. This is an important moment, and I want to learn with them.”Lia smiled, understanding my decision. “That’s a good choice, Ariane. Every moment with her is a precious opportunity.”“That’s right,” I said, feeling proud of myself. “And tomorrow, I have also planned to go to Black Moon Pack to meet Leon.”Lia’s gaze turned a little serious, “Oh, right. That will be a big step. Are you ready to do it?”I nodded, even though I had mixed feelings. “I know this is an important step. Even though there are a lot of feelings and memories involved, I want to make sure that I do my best for my daughter. And I want to confirm Leon’s condition as well.”Lia nodded. “Be careful. Make sure to take care of yourself while you’re there. Whatever happens, remember that you’re not alone
Ariane’s POV “From the previous guest, we’ve only received a little information about his condition. If you’d like, we can go with you to his house,” Regina said, offering support.I nodded, trying to calm myself. “Yes, thank you, Regina. I need to see him and talk to him.”We walked side by side to the house where Leon was being cared for. Every step was hard, but there was new hope for our future—the future I wanted for my daughters, and maybe, for Leon. I walked towards Leon's house, with each step carrying a mixture of hope and anxiety. The house used to be ours, but after the divorce, its spirit seemed to change; now it was just Leon's house. Seeing the building made me smile and feel pain at the same time. When I entered, my gaze immediately fell on Leon who was lying weakly on the bed, looking very vulnerable with various wounds that were still clearly visible. If I didn't know, maybe I wouldn't recognize him. The eyes that we
Ariane’s POV “I know life isn’t easy, and sometimes it feels really hard. But it seems like every wound holds a lesson, and maybe you can use this as an opportunity to rise stronger,” I continued, looking at Leon’s face that looked weak but still hoping for a glimmer of hope. Seeing Leon in his vulnerable state reminded me of the strength we have as humans. Everyone falls at some point, but the most important thing is to find a way to get back up. With all my vulnerability, I prayed in my heart that he could feel the positive energy I was spreading, that all of this was part of the love and hope I wanted to give. “Come back to a life full of happiness, Leon. Zara and Zoya are waiting for you. We need all the beautiful things that can come with you.” As I spoke in that silence, I felt a subtle shift in my mind. Maybe it was time to move on. The sadness that once haunted me should not imprison me. We all deserve to be reinvented, to fight, and to re
Ariane’s POVThere, I helped Leon recover. Every day I spent feeding him, bandaging his wounds, and always trying to keep the atmosphere positive. Although the pain that once existed still haunted me, I was determined to give him the support he needed. I knew that this step was not only for him, but also for me and for our daughters. While preparing food and taking care of Leon, I also did not forget to cook for the three of us. When the aroma of cooking began to fill the room, Leon sometimes looked at me with an expression that I could not guess. "I just realized that you are the best woman after we separated, Ariane," Leon said one day while we were sitting at the dining table. I was stunned by his statement. Is this sincere, or just words to persuade me? Unable to hold back my doubts, I chose not to answer. There was a part of me that wanted to believe, but considering everything that had happened, I could not just give my trust.
Ariane’s POV Watching him speak so softly to Zara and Zoya filled me with mixed feelings. Even though I had forgiven Leon for past mistakes, moving back in together was a huge step and I was hesitant about it. This wasn’t a decision to be rushed, and I knew I needed more time to consider my feelings.Leon looked at me, and in that look, I knew he could feel the weight on my heart. “I’ll be back tomorrow, if that’s okay. I want to stay involved in your lives,” he said, his tone hopeful.“I hope you’ll keep trying, Leon. And let’s see how things go. But for now, you should go back and rest,” I said, trying to be supportive while still maintaining boundaries.He nodded, and as he said goodbye, Leon put his arm around me for a moment. “Thank you again. This means a lot to me,” he said, feeling a soft warmth.As he left, I felt both relieved and a little heavy. This was a small step towards mending our relationship, but also giving myself spac
Ariane’s POV My heart pounded again as I wondered how all of this would continue. In the midst of this chaos and uncertainty, I had to stay strong and fight for my daughter, because that was all I could do right now. As I was waiting for Zara who was lying asleep with IV fluids in her little hand, a feeling of helplessness enveloped my heart. Seeing her so vulnerable and helpless made my chest tight. I just wanted her to get better soon and be cheerful again as usual. Suddenly the door to the room opened, and when I turned around, I saw Mark. “Ariane,” he said, his voice soft and soothing. The sun outside shone into the room, but the light was nothing compared to Mark’s smile. He walked in, carrying a package of delicious-looking specialty food. I remembered that he was a talented chef, and now he came with good intentions. “How is Zara?” Mark asked, a worried tone on his face. I took a deep breath, trying to calm the pani
Ariane’s POV After seeing Zara's condition, Laon said goodbye. “I’ll go, but remember, I’m not just our children’s father. I’m also here to support you if you need me,” Leon said before finally walking out, leaving me in turmoil.After he left, I closed the door and sat down on the couch, feeling a deep sense of exhaustion. There was a tension between wanting to have a better relationship and protecting my pain. But right now, my focus had to remain on Zara’s health and providing the best for my daughters. With everything that is happening, I know that step by step, I have to make the right decisions for myself and my children. Although the road ahead seems blurry, I am confident that love and care will be my guide through this uncertainty.The doctor finally came to check on Zara. With a professional and caring attitude, he greeted me and asked, “Are there any other complaints I need to know, Ariane?”I shook my head and said, “No, Doc. Z
Ariane’s POV After successfully grabbing her toy, Zoya smiled and proudly showed it to the screen. “Look, Mommy! I got it!” she exclaimed enthusiastically. Although she couldn’t speak for long yet, I could feel how happy she was at that moment. “I see! You’re great, honey. And don’t forget, your big sister is also struggling, so you have to be strong too,” I said softly. Simple moments like this gave me strength.We continued our small talk, with Zoya sharing mini-stories about her toys and games in her cute language, and I tried to create a cheerful atmosphere between us. Although there is a painful journey, I know that our love and closeness can overcome anything. Together, in love and care, we will be ready to fight this challenge. After hanging up the call, I felt more optimistic. With determination and love for my two daughters, we will get through this together. It may not be easy, but I will always fight for them. As
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.

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.
