Kayla's POV"Is everything ready?"Watching the darkness gradually fall outside the window, I couldn't help but ask the maid behind me anxiously."Just a little more, Miss Reeves.""What's still missing?"Facing my inquiry, the maid smiled and draped a dark red cloak over me. Then, she tied a neat and pretty bow at my neckline."There, now nothing is lacking. You look perfect, Reeves... Oh no, Alpha."I breathed a sigh of relief at the maid's answer. It was only at this moment that I noticed she had changed how she addressed me."I'm not your Alpha yet, Tina.""You will be my Alpha soon."Tina looked at my slightly anxious expression and softly reassured my emotions, "Although I don't know how others feel, I am very happy about the prospect of you becoming the Alpha of The Obsidian Pack."Tina's words excited me, but I couldn't help feeling a twinge of guilt. I should have done this sooner, instead of letting the members of my pack go through so much pain.I looked at Tina and asked,
Nathan's POV"Declaration of War from Harrison Morris?"Klaus, seated on the throne in the conference hall, once again posed a question to Sebastian, who knelt on the ground."Are you sure he meant that, Sebastian?""Absolutely, Alpha."Sebastian pressed his forehead against the cold marble floor, refusing to lift his head."And not just Harrison Morris, but Peter Rufus as well. They, as Alphas, have united to declare war against The Blue Blood Pack.""Peter Rufus... Heh."Klaus chuckled from his throat, gripping the scepter in his hand and descending the steps."When I initiated the plan against the Rufus family, wanting to turn Donald Rufus into our pawn, I just didn't want to face something like today. However, no matter how perfect a plan is, when it falls into the hands of foolish executors, it becomes meaningless – even a weapon turned against us. And Elizabeth, she's the biggest fool in this plan!"Klaus forcefully struck the scepter on the floor, the dull sound echoing like a
Nathan's POV"Should I congratulate you, Nat... Oh no, our Targary?"As the crowd dispersed from the hall, Sebastian caught up with my steps from behind and intercepted me."If you don't want to, you don't have to force yourself to utter such insincere congratulations."I looked into Sebastian's eyes and could already guess that besides declaring war, Harrison Morris might have said something else to him – something about the truth of Elizabeth's death."I want to hear an accurate answer from you, Nathan!"Sebastian's ice-blue eyes were bloodshot with anger as he grabbed my collar, fiercely demanding, "Tell me, did you kill Elizabeth?""Yes."When I admitted it without hesitation, Sebastian abruptly raised his arm, swinging his fist towards my face.I didn't dodge, but I watched as his fist stopped just an inch from my face."Why didn't you hit me?""Why did you do it?"At that moment, Sebastian and I simultaneously voiced our questions, staring into each other's eyes."Because you've
Nathan's POVI accompanied Sebastian in burying Elizabeth. As Elizabeth's stiff and cold body gradually sank into the icy lake, I instinctively looked at Sebastian beside me. He didn't shed tears, but the loneliness and sorrow overflowing from his eyes directly pierced through my heart.Wrapped in such a heavy atmosphere, neither of us had the inclination to speak on our way back home."Thanks for your help, Nathan."At a fork in the road, Sebastian stopped and looked up, forcing a smile."But I still hope that what happened today will only be known to the two of us.""Of course."I reached out and patted Sebastian's shoulder, attempting to comfort him. But thinking that I was the one who killed Elizabeth, I opened my mouth and ultimately said nothing."Take care, Sebastian.""You too, Targary."Sebastian grinned at me, his tone suddenly becoming much more distant."Take care of yourself. There are more dangerous tasks waiting for us in the future.""Yeah."I nodded, gave a simple res
Kayla's POVIn just half a month, the world of werewolves was bombarded with one significant piece of news after another.First, Harrison publicly announced our engagement, sparking widespread attention and speculation about me.However, as the public was busy discussing our love story, news broke that I had taken over as the Alpha of The Obsidian Pack, shifting the media and public's focus towards my power and position.But within a few days, a groundbreaking piece of news replaced the previous ones, dominating the front pages and igniting the entire werewolf community—The Dark Night Pack had allied with The Red Flame Pack to declare war on The Blue Blood Pack.And the once mythical and nearly extinct Blue Blood Pack responded to the declaration of war.Panic spread among people.Yet, some media outlets referred to the upcoming battle as the 'War of Colors.'There were even entertainment channels and underground gambling establishments setting up bets, leading the masses to speculate
Harrison's POVStanding beside me, Peter, dressed in heavy bulletproof armor, and I watched the video feed coming from the frontline—The battlefield was covered in pristine snow. In the harsh conditions of the snowstorm, even the best snipers couldn't hit their targets.Seeing this, Peter couldn't help but become a bit agitated."Damn it! The Blue Blood Pack insists on fighting us on the icy plains. Clearly, they want to take advantage of the environmental conditions! It's despicable.""Calm down, Peter."I immediately interrupted Peter, preventing his emotions from affecting the soldiers in the army."Our war is a matter of life and death. What does it matter if it's despicable or not? The one who survives is the winner.""Moreover, with such harsh conditions here, if they dare to set the battlefield in this place, it means they definitely have special arrangements. Let's stay focused; we can't take it lightly.""Fine."With my persuasion, the young Alpha regained a momentary calmne
Kayla's POVI pulled on my hood and took Harrison's hand, opening the car door without hesitation and leaping into the frigid icy land.Harrison and I had barely steadied ourselves when Nathan's voice was heard in the snowstorm."I've brought what you wanted."Accompanying Nathan's voice was an object he threw in our direction. The black sphere rolled across the thick ice, quickly reaching our feet.It was the severed head of an old man.I restrained my beating heart, taking a step forward to get a clearer look at the head.The eyes on this head had lost their original color, turning white. Yet, I could still discern from the area around the pupils that they were originally ice-blue.The neck, severed and frozen into ice shards, still retained traces of blue blood. This old man must have been a member of The Blue Blood Pack.I took a step back, silently nodding to Harrison beside me.Harrison stepped on the head, stopping its rolling on the icy ground, and began questioning Nathan."H
Nathan's POV"Let's go, Alpha. She won't be coming back."Sebastian's deep voice brought my wandering thoughts back to reality."Let's go home.""Yes, Alpha!"I withdrew my gaze from Kayla whose figure was disappearing, lowered my head to pat the thick fur of my wolf, and issued the command, "Let's go home, Snow.""Howl—"One week ago.When the phone in the fireplace rang again, I almost couldn't control myself and immediately rushed to rescue it from the flames."Kayla?""It's me, Nathan. Listen to me, I have become the Alpha of The Obsidian Pack, and..."Surprised, I couldn't help but interrupt Kayla, "Wait, you're an Alpha now? Is that what you wanted?""Yes."Kayla's tone sounded calm, contrasting with my skepticism."I want to bring peace and tranquility to my land and people, Nathan. I will strive for that."Kayla's response left me in a brief silence.At this moment, it was as if I had returned to the day when I first met her. Six years ago, Kayla was in the face of adversity,
