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
Kayla's POVThe day after the proposal, Harrison shared the good news with The Dark Night Pack members.Oh no, perhaps for someone, it wasn't exactly good news—but undoubtedly, it was a bomb throughout the werewolf community.Almost everyone was discussing Harrison and my engagement, and within that crowd, there was a great number of people who couldn't stop gossiping about my background. After all, people hadn't forgotten that Harrison had waged a war of revenge against The Obsidian Pack.As for those packs entangled in the war of revenge, they were either barely surviving or long gone.And I, as the daughter of The Obsidian Pack Alpha, had now become Harrison Morris's fiancée. What on earth had happened?At the same time, this question popped into the minds of many. The news that almost caused an earthquake in Gorden City quickly propelled my name to the headlines of almost every magazine and newspaper.Media outlets spared no effort in digging up any information about me, resulting
Ely's eyes widened in disbelief when Daisy told Ely about Pearl's blind date.Daisy put her hands on her hips and shouted, "go and get her back quickly. I want her to be my sister-in-law. She can't marry anyone else."Ely had no idea why Pearl would go on a blind date.Last week, they were sleeping together.Pearl had refused to see him for some reason this week, but he thought she just needed time to come to terms with the change. He thought he had Pearl, but Pearl was seeing other men.He couldn't accept it. He had to ask for an answer.He grabbed the car keys off the table and ran out.Daisy put her hand to her mouth in the shape of a trumpet and shouted at his back, "Come On!"……Pearl was sitting in a quiet corner of the cafe, listening to the introduction of the young man sitting across from her.This man is an ideal husband. His father is a senior manager at a consulting firm in Seattle, and his mother is a doctor. He is a warm, handsome, gentle Stanford graduate who is now the
"Please go back. My sister doesn't want to see you." Eva's tone was a bit harsh, and she stood at the door, blocking Ely's entry."Eva, please let me in. I have something to say to Pearl," Ely implored Eva. He's obviously not sleeping well, and he's got a little stubble on his chin.Eva, always soft and gentle, looked at Ely, who had taken care of her since childhood, and said angrily, "Don't come looking for my sister! I've never seen her so sad. She's been locked in her room for three days!"Hearing the news, Ely became even more worried. "I was wrong. I want to apologize to her."Ely steps forward, trying to get into the house, but Eva refuses to step aside. "I would never let you in today."Eva turned and ran into the house, locking the door behind her.Ely stood there, looking up at the window in Pearl's room.Her room was dark.What's she doing? Is she crying?Ely tries to break in again, but Ulric calls out behind him, "You're not seeing her today. Please go home."Ely turned.
15 years later,"Have you thought about it?" Ely raised his eyes and asked with a gentle smile. "would you like to bet with me?""Why not? We've been betting all my life, and I hardly ever lose." Pearl sneered at him contemptuously. "But I'll up the ante: If I win, you give me your medical project."Ely remained calm. "Pearl, I don't remember you being interested in a medical project.""Nonsense! Just say whether you bet or not!""I'll bet," Ely laughed. " But I'm going to raise the stakes too.""Say it!""How about a night with me?" Ely, the new Evans CEO, changed his gentle smile, leaned over, and whispered in her ear, "If you lose, sleep with me."Pearl wanted to scratch his face with the fork she was holding. But his face attracted many women in the city crazy, she did not dare to hurt him, only glare at him.Ely smiled with pleasure and waited patiently for her answer."OK," Pearl said, gritting her teeth.She's gonna win.……Pearl came back to the company.After dealing with a f
Pearl was so happy after Gwen gave birth to the twins that she shared the good news with all her friends at school.Every day after school, she would rush out of class, get in her car, put on her seat belt, and say to the driver, "I'm going home to look after my mommy and Carl and Ava."Carl and Eva are the names Pearl gave the newborn babies. She picked them out at the first glance of Ulric's long list of names."Carl, Eva. I like those two names." Pearl doesn't like complicated names."Okay," Ulric touched her head. "You're the big sister now. This is your first successful task: name your little brother and sister."Pearl looked up with pride. She wanted to be a big sister. It would give her a sense of accomplishment.Eva is an introverted, quiet girl. She became Pearl's little tail when she could walk, smiled shyly at Pearl's words, and seldom cried.Pearl was very fond of Eva. She often kissed Eva. "Oh, Eva, you're as cute as a Daddy Doll. I don't want you to grow up. I want you t
After learning that Gwen had fainted, Ulric immediately suspended a meeting with a wealthy Middle Eastern businessman and rushed out of the conference room."Sorry, my wife is in the hospital now."An hour later, Ulric appeared at the door of the hospital room, panting.Gwen has always been a healthy and energetic person, and she rarely fell ill. For as long as Ulric could remember, Gwen only had stomach pains when she ate erratically, but since her stomach had recovered a lot under his care, Ulric couldn't understand why she fainted.Is she sick? And he was such a careless husband that he didn't even notice it."Gwen!" Ulric yelled as he pushed open the door.But there was no one in the room, just Gwen's Hermès bag on the sofa.Ulric's mind was more disturbed, and he wanted to see her now, to make sure she was all right.“There you are.” Gwen's voice rang behind him."Oh, honey, are you okay?" Ulric held her shoulders nervously, his eyes wandering over her body.Gwen looked no differ
Zora is not the only one who is preparing for pregnancy, but also Gwen.Pearl is now 4 years old. She has been a lively and outgoing girl since she was a child and likes to make friends. As long as she plays with her friends, she is willing to share all her toys and likes to kiss her friends.Gwen didn't understand her daughter's behavior. She asked Pearl, "Honey, why did you kiss them?""Because I love them. Daddy loves Mommy, so you kiss every day. I love my friends, and I want to kiss them," said Pearl happily."Well... Pearl, there's a difference between a kiss between me and Your Daddy," said Gwen, holding her forehead."Why?" Pearl looked at her with big, innocent eyes.Gwen was speechless. She didn't know how to explain it to Pearl. Come on, Pearl's just a kid. A kiss between kids is a sign of friendship. She doesn't have to be nervous."You can kiss your friends, but you have to get permission first. If a strange person kisses you, you have to say NO, okay?""Yes, Mommy." Pear
Three years later.Cecil is unhappy these days because he learns from his assistant that there is a man who likes to appear in front of Zora lately.Although Zora and he had gotten married 3 months ago. He had already put a diamond ring on her finger, but he was still nervous whenever a man peeked at Zora.He picked up the information his assistant had gathered about the man and flipped through it carefully.Huh! He remembers this boy called Claude. Four years ago, when Zora first moved to Los Angeles, he asked Zora to watch a game with him. Although he showed up just in time to bring Zora's attention back to him, he still remembered the threat this man brought to him.A sunny, handsome, athletic football quarterback.Both he and Zora have graduated. Zora is now an independent curator, and Claude is a professional football player.Zora had already forgotten about him, but last week his team made a deal with Zora's studio, so the guy named Claude started coming around to Zora under var
Liam sat on the couch, browsing through the report his assistant had sent him before turning off his phone and leaning back on the couch, with his eyes closed.He had to admit that he was getting older. When he was younger, he could lead an army for three days in the desert or rainforest without feeling sleepy, but now his energy was getting worse. After some travel today, he now feels tired.Since the surgery, his body has become weaker. But as special forces general, he would rather die in battle than become an old man who is taken care of.Getting old is a cruel thing for a general.Liam coughed a few times and he pulled out his pocket watch. It was time to take his medicine.He took out a bottle with medicine, read the label the doctor put on it carefully, and then took a few pills.It was in this quiet room that Liam let go of his pride and showed a sense of loneliness and weakness.There was a knock at the door. The sound starts with some urgency, then becomes regular.Liam stra
Ulric's uncle, Liam Rockefeller, came to Los Angeles alone, and he didn't tell Ulric ahead of time.Last year, to defeat Richard, Ulric called him to find help.Even though they hadn't spoken in years, Liam recognized the phone number at first glance. He pressed the answer button, "Hello?""Uncle, this is Ulric," Ulric spoke a little hesitantly, not as decisively as he usually did."I know, is there anything I can do to help?" Liam changed his old authoritarian and angry voice to a gentle one. He knew Ulric must be in a difficult situation, otherwise, he wouldn't have called him, especially since he was so proud."I have a good friend, you know, Vince, who has been in trouble lately," Ulric said.Ulric and Vince grew up together in New York, and Liam knew Vince and liked him a lot."Oh, that guy, what's wrong?" Liam frowned. If there was one thing that Ulric and Vince couldn't solve, it had to be tricky. Oh, God, he hoped the two lads wouldn't suffer.Ulric had told his uncle what hap
