Kayla's POVWatching Harrison's intense gaze almost sticking to my lips, I shyly averted my eyes, but my breath couldn't help but quicken. However, my shyness seemed to amuse Harrison even more.He took the initiative to remove his shirt, his robust and firm physique covering a mere few feet from my face, making it hard for me to catch my breath."Don't you want to check my wounds, dear?" Harrison said in his magnetic voice.Hearing Harrison's voice, I turned my head, swallowed hard, and tried to keep my voice calm."I think it's not necessary, Harrison.""Are you sure, baby?" Harrison raised an eyebrow, then leaned down, pressing his cheek against my chest."Maybe it's unnecessary, Kayla... because right now, the one with an abnormal heartbeat is you. How about I help you check your body?" he suggested with a smirk."I..."Whether I agreed or refused, before I could say anything, Harrison's kiss invaded, and all the unspoken words vanished in the heat of our kiss.Harrison grabbed my
Kayla's POVAs everything came to an end, I lay breathless on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling. Suddenly, the unresolved issue between Harrison and me surfaced again in my mind."Save the sweet talk, Harrison Morris!" I turned over, gazing at Harrison with desire-faded eyes, giving him a stern look. "Tell me, are you declaring war on The Blue Blood Pack? How long did you and Peter discuss it? What made you finally decide on such a resolution?""Probably after I dealt with Donald Rufus." Harrison smiled, his hand encircling my shoulder. His gaze, however, wandered around the ceiling, seemingly lost in memories of that day. "Peter's pack has a rule that their members are not allowed to kill any member. That's why, despite Peter's intense hatred for Donald Rufus, he still found an isolated villa in an uninhabited area for Donald Rufus."Harrison paused for a moment, then turned to look into my eyes. The coldness in his words suddenly vanished, replaced by a heavy intent."But I'm
Kayla's POVErick, who was kneeling on the ground, lifted his eyes in astonishment upon hearing Harrison's question. However, facing Harrison's imposing gaze, Erick instinctively averted his eyes and chose to lock eyes with me."Just share the information you know, Mr. Huston," I smiled, attempting to reassure Erick's nervousness. "Believe me, Harrison and I won't force anyone innocent."Under our persuasion, Erick swallowed nervously and finally spoke again. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he seemed to delve into memories."Targary... I heard that name for the first time on a night over a decade ago. At that time, my father was in charge of managing funds for The Blue Blood Pack.""Late that night, I wandered to my father's study and unintentionally overheard his conversation with a mysterious client. My father referred to that mysterious client as Michael.""Michael?" Before I could restrain my surprise, I interrupted Erick's narrative. However, Harrison didn't repri
Harrison's POVArmed with the information obtained from Erick, Peter and I swiftly dispatched personnel to the Arctic Archipelago in the northernmost part of Canada, initiating a search for any traces of The Blue Blood Pack.However, as disappointing reports kept coming in from the dispatched subordinates, Peter's mood inevitably began to show signs of frustration and restlessness."To be honest, Harrison—I don't think our search like this will help us find our enemies, after all, they..."Before Peter could finish his complaint, my phone screen lit up.Thank goodness!I immediately grabbed my phone and made a hushing gesture toward Peter— even if the person on the other end told me it was just a wrong number, I would happily use this opportunity to stop Peter's meaningless complaints."Alpha!"What pleased me even more was the excited panting voice of Rick."Good news! We've really found a member of The Blue Blood Pack here! This person was involved in the mission to rescue Elizabeth
Harrison's POV"Oh, it seems you still don't know."Facing my inquiries, Sebastian suddenly curled the corners of his mouth, raising a mocking smile at me."But, Harrison Morris, don't you find this situation incredibly ironic? As the Alpha of The Dark Night Pack, your understanding of what's happening within your pack is even less than mine! You and your—"Already on the edge of rage, I finally chose this moment to release my anger amidst Sebastian's repeated provocations.I rushed forward, grabbing Sebastian's neck and silencing his mocking voice in his throat."Now, wipe that smile off your face, Sebastian. For those who once harmed me and my family, I won't spare a single one of them!"I increased the pressure on my grip, nearly pressing my face against Sebastian's reddening cheeks as he began to suffocate. Word by word, I spoke directly to him, "And you, along with the Blue Blood Pack, will soon become the first batch of souls under my command! Because today, I formally declare w
Kayla's POV"Are you saying that you released the member of The Blue Blood Pack you captured just to convey a declaration of war?"Looking at Harrison's triumphant expression, I shook my head in confusion."I don't understand, Harrison.""Since Nathan Barnes is a member of The Blue Blood Pack, I'm confident that he will respond to the declaration."Harrison stared into my eyes, his face showing a subtle and complex emotion."He already sees me as his opponent and enemy. He can't resist refusing my declaration."I knew exactly what Harrison was referring to. After learning about Nathan's identity, I also understood the meaning behind his words before he left. He was already envisioning how he would command the force of The Blue Blood Pack once he gained power.I didn't want to witness my old friend and my love turn against each other, and I sighed."Alright."I looked into Harrison's eyes and sincerely said, "Whatever happens, you know I'll always stand by your side.""I know."The sec
Kayla's POVListening to the hoarse tones emanating from George, who stood in the darkness like bellows, I instinctively clenched my fists. However, Harrison's calm voice carried a powerful undertone."Everything I've done since your father's death has ended up to what it's like today."George turned around, looking deeper into the dungeon with a tone full of regret. "We should have anticipated the outcome.""It's too late for these words now, George."Harrison frowned, seemingly losing his patience. "Say it, and quietly await the arrival of death. I swear, it will be the best fate you can hope for.""Fine, my young Alpha."As George's elderly voice fell, a series of long sighs echoed from the depths of the dark dungeon, as if countless barely surviving lives were hidden inside, invisible to onlookers."I will tell you what happened."George lowered his head, the black hood covering his entire face, making him appear as terrifying as the Grim Reaper."Your father was so young and arro
Kayla's POV"Harrison!"As Harrison led me away from the dungeon permeated with the stench of decay and death, returning to our bedroom, I couldn't hold back my thoughts any longer."Are you sure you don't want to regain your sense of smell?"I gazed into Harrison's eyes, lowering my voice, trying not to touch upon his painful past."I know, to obtain the antidote from the Elder Council, you must end the punishment of those who once harmed you and your family. It's indeed an unfair deal. But for a werewolf, the sense of smell is the way the Moon Goddess grants us a connection with our mate. It's the right of a werewolf to seek a lifelong partner.""Are you really willing to give up this precious right?"However, my words didn't sway Harrison and I could see it in his calm eyes."Are you doubting my feelings for you, Kayla?""Of course not!" I raised my voice instantly. In my anxiety, I revealed the fears and uncertainties hidden in my heart to Harrison."I'm worried—""Worried about w
