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
Kayla's POVThis time, Harrison didn't stop me from leaving The Dark Night Pack. He sent his most trusted subordinate to escort Daisy and me on our journey back to The Obsidian Pack.Before our departure, Harrison held my hand and left a kiss on my cheek. Then, he hugged our somewhat bewildered daughter."Be safe, Kayla.""I will, you too, Harrison."I kissed Harrison's cheek, then, against the strong reluctance in my heart, forced myself to turn away, taking Daisy with me into the car.Once the car started moving, Daisy pulled her gaze away from the window. Pouting, she leaned in close to me, whispering, "Mom, why are we leaving Dad?""We haven't left Dad, sweetheart."I caressed Daisy's little cheek and explained softly, "Mom just wants to take you back to the place where Mom was born and grew up. Aren't you curious about what Mom looked like when I was little?""When you were little?" Daisy wiped away her tears and curiously looked into my eyes. "Were you as small as me?"Daisy's i
Kayla's POVFaced with the girl's stern accusations, I took a few deep breaths, trying to calm my emotions before offering her a smile.I continued, "Tell me, where did you hear all these things?""Everyone knows it." Although Martin had already left, the girl remained stiff and maintained a defensive posture when facing me."Every member of The Obsidian Pack knows that our Alpha abandoned us, allowing the warriors of The Dark Night Pack to overrun our land, making our home destroyed by the flames! And Alpha's daughter—"The girl's accusatory tone faltered. She looked at me, and the contempt in her eyes felt like a sharp blade cutting into me."...is actually marrying the enemy who ordered the massacre of our people!""Traitor! You and your father betrayed us! You betrayed our Pack!"...It was only at this moment that I realized, compared to the cruel mockery of others, children’s accusations were more heart-wrenching. A cold wind blew across my cheeks, accompanied by a chill. I foun
Kayla's POVMartin's is a man of great execution. In less than two days since I conveyed the command, Martin and his subordinates had settled all the residents and even repaired the square at the center of The Obsidian Pack, which had suffered from the ravages of war.After completing all arrangements, the Dark Night Pack warriors, except for Martin and his subordinates, begin evacuating from The Obsidian Pack.A grand revenge war had come to an end.However, things were not going to be that simple. The blood shed by The Obsidian Pack's people could not be erased with the arrival of freedom. I was acutely aware of this.Therefore, when, in the late hours of the night, a loud glass-shattering noise abruptly awakened us from our sleep, I wasn't surprised."Miss Reeves! Are you okay?!" I held my daughter, who was crying loudly due to the shock, and heard Martin's anxious inquiry from the door.I quickly put on my coat and then rushed to open the door for Martin."Someone threw stones, br
Kayla's POVFaced with a crowd that had descended into madness and anger, Martin, who had always been solemn, now wore an expression of anxiety and tension."Warriors! Protect Miss Reeves! Take her out of this chaotic place!"Martin immediately ordered, summoning the warriors to escort me away from here. However, I shook my head at him, insisting on staying."They are members of my pack. I can't just leave them like this! They need me.""But, Miss Reeves, I need to keep you safe!"While Martin was distressed, I remained calm, starting to issue commands."Listen, Martin, send someone to my house right now. Escort Daisy away from The Obsidian Pack.""What about you, Miss Reeves?"Martin looked at me, his eyes even showing a hint of panic."If something happens to you, my Alpha won't spare me! So please, let me stay by your side to protect you!""No!"I refused Martin's plea without hesitation, "You are a warrior of The Dark Night Pack. In the eyes of these people, you are almost equival
