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,
Nathan's POVAfter a night of discussions, Harrison and I, under Kayla's witness, reached a preliminary agreement. So, after a sleepless night, I knocked on Sebastian's door early in the morning.Sebastian, full of complaints, opened the door for me, trying to keep his grumbling low to avoid waking up his still-sleeping parents."Nathan? It's only five-thirty! What are you doing here?!"However, I didn't pay attention to Sebastian's rudeness. Instead, I grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the house.I stared into Sebastian's eyes and asked, "Do you trust me, Sebastian?""Are you crazy? Why are you suddenly asking me this question?"Sebastian tried to push me away, but I held him tightly, rendering him immobile."Just answer my question, Sebastian!""Of course! I trust you! You're our Targary. How could I not trust you?""Good. Now, I'm planning to do something very dangerous, which may involve your most respected Alpha. In this situation, are you willing to continue trusting me and
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
