Chapter 13 - I See You“So, when do you plan to officially choose a Luna? Hailey would be the best choice for you. I heard you two have already met,” the Queen Mother, Luna Poline, remarked as she walked beside her son, her voice carrying a tone of both suggestion and subtle insistence. She was dressed in a beige sheath dress with a pearl necklace that rested elegantly against her collarbone, her expression poised yet expectant.Alpha King Maxton’s jaw tightened, his irritation barely concealed. He continued his brisk pace toward his car, his mind already on the upcoming meeting. He did not have time for this conversation, nor the patience to indulge his mother’s persistent prodding on the matter.“I have more important things to deal with right now, Mother,” he replied curtly, his eyes fixed ahead. His tone was sharp, and dismissive, making it clear he was not interested in continuing the discussion.Luna Poline was unfazed by his reaction, and she kept up with him. “I understand you
Chapter 14 - She’s IdentifiedAlpha Maxton arrived at the King’s Palace of the Northern Packs, and was greeted by Alpha King Janoer, a tall, broad shouldered man in his early thirties, with jet-black hair cut short on the sides and left slightly longer on top. His clean shaven jaw was strong, and his piercing blue eyes, framed by dark brows, held both authority and intelligence. He wore a tailored black suit with a crisp white shirt, the silver emblem of the Northern Pack was a howling wolf against a mountain backdrop, pinned to his lapel.“Maxton,” Janoer greeted, his voice a deep rumble. “Welcome. It has been too long since we have met under more pleasant circumstances.”“Indeed, Janoer,” Maxton replied, offering a firm handshake. “But these are times that demand our full attention. I appreciate you agreeing to meet on such short notice.”Janoer nodded, his expression grim. “The matter of the purple drug is not something we can afford to take lightly. Come, let’s sit and discuss.”T
Chapter 15 - Run: She’s Caught by the Wrong ManGeorgia was well aware of the men following her, despite their discreet attempts to shadow her every move. She could feel their eyes on her, even when she was simply tending to the flowers in the shop. While she hadn’t seen Antler as frequently as before, his absence was replaced by new faces—strangers who tried to blend into the background but failed to escape her notice. On occasion, she would catch a glimpse of Antler, lurking from a distance, his gaze fixed on her from another building.Anxiety clawed at her, Her decision to move to the Northern Capital City, which she had hoped would bring her safety and security, now felt like a grave mistake. Instead of finding refuge, she felt as if she had stepped into a trap, surrounded by unfamiliar dangers in a city that was supposed to be her sanctuary.“I need to move,” she muttered to herself as he placed down a pot of plant on the floor, brushing her palm down to her pants.But she had no
Chapter 16 - King’s MistakeAntler’s seemingly calm demeanor began to trick Georgia, gradually breaking her guard. His smile was warm, his tone reassuring as he spoke to her in a friendly manner, feeding her with lies while guiding her through the narrow, darkened streets toward a nearby building where he claimed his car was parked. She followed him, thinking he was the only escape she had. Taking a leap of faith on the man who claimed to be her mate’s friend; reasoning that it would be better to cross the Alpha King Maxton — her mate, than unknown evil werewolves out there who would show her no mercy. She thought and she hoped her mate would be a lesser evil. And she may be right about that… but she was following the wrong person.“Maxton sent me to keep an eye on you,” Antler explained as they walked, his voice smooth, dripping with false sincerity. “He knew you would be in danger, especially here in the Northern Capital. I have been watching from a distance, making sure no harm c
Chapter 17 - Captured to Weaponize“Ah, you are awake,” a man's voice crackled through the hidden speakers.Georgia blinked rapidly, her eyes adjusting to the harsh light of the room. Everything around her was a solid color of white, there were no windows, only sealed vents, and just a small cubicle with a toilet and bath in a corner, and a single bed with sheets as white as the walls around her. The light blue scrub suit she wore was the only bit of color provided. But what really drew her attention was the wall with the one way mirror. She could see her reflection, but she could feel that someone was on the other side, watching her, observing her. She walked toward the mirror and tapped her forefinger, assessing if she could break it someday, somehow.“Where am I?” she demanded, her voice rough from disuse, echoing slightly in the empty space as she turned and roamed her eyes around. And she was fully aware now that her eyes had been uncovered, revealed to everyone watching behind t
Chapter 18 - Kill, Show Us BloodWith a surge of defiance, Georgia’s eyes flared, and she focused on the tray of instruments. To the shock of the men in the room, the tray lifted into the air, hovering as if guided by invisible hands. Their eyes widened in terror as the syringe filled with Soulbane hovered dangerously close to one of their necks.Behind the one-way mirror, Harrion, Antler, and Sergio stared in amazement at the screen. The raw power Georgia wielded was beyond anything they had imagined, they heard about it in research papers, but to see it in person was something. This was just a taste of it, how much more could she do?“She is incredible,” Sergio muttered, a mix of awe and fear in his voice.Harrion’s grin widened. “Yes, she is. And she is ours now.”The two men inside the room with Georgia took hesitant steps backward, but the door behind them remained closed, trapping them inside with the increasingly dangerous woman.Determined to escape, Georgia turned her focus t
Chapter 19 - The History of Centuries’ Revenge“Good evening, Cousin,” Harrion Bergmont said smoothly, extending his hand as King Maxton approached, his expression unreadable. The room buzzed with the sound of conversations, laughter, and the clinking of glasses, but Harrion’s attention was fixed solely on the Alpha King.Maxton shook his hand, offering a polite smile that did not quite reach his eyes. “Harrion, it is good to see you,” he replied, his tone cordial but reserved. The two men held each other’s gaze for a moment longer than necessary, an unspoken tension lingering between them.As they exchanged pleasantries, Harrion’s mind was already elsewhere. He had attended this dinner for one reason only — to maintain the facade that had taken years to build, centuries even. He had played the part of the loyal cousin, the trusted business partner like his father did, and his grandfather, and another grandfather before it, for far too long, and tonight was no different. Yet, behind t
Chapter 20 - Bloodstone AmuletIn the early days, before the establishment of the royal bloodlines that would come to dominate the werewolf world, the land was a chaotic battleground. Packs clashed constantly, their leaders vying for dominance and control over territories rich with resources and power. It was an era defined by brutal warfare, political intrigue, and a ruthless quest for supremacy. In the midst of this madness, a dark force began to rise, one that would change the course of history and leave a legacy of fear and oppression.The legend of the Bloodstone Amulet begins with a man known as Tharion, a dark alchemist of extraordinary skill and knowledge. Tharion was not born into nobility; he was the son of a healer who served one of the smaller, less powerful packs on the fringes of the Southern Region. From a young age, Tharion showed an aptitude for the arcane, a keen interest in the hidden properties of plants, minerals, and the energies that flowed through all living th
