Alexander's POV"What's going on? Why is there so much noise outside?!"I was awoken from a peaceful sleep, hastily putting on my robe and following the guiding light into the living room.I asked the soldiers standing in the corner."Al-Alpha..." One of them stammered."Speak up! Why are you trembling?!" I furrowed my brow, impatiently scrutinizing the trembling man.My anger grew as I considered that all my warriors seemed to be like this. They behaved like cowards. How was I supposed to win a war with them?Well, tomorrow I would have to personally visit the underground and persuade Kayla to agree to my conditions."Al-Alpha, there's... there's a guest."One of the slightly braver men answered me, his gaze constantly shifting towards the center of the living room, as if something there terrified him immensely."A guest? Who would come for a visit in the middle of the night?"I grumbled in annoyance, and as I turned my gaze to the center of the room, the person seated on the couch s
Kayla’s POV"I've never understood why you're always so stubborn, Kayla."Rebecca stood in front of me, looking down at me with superiority, as I remained imprisoned by iron chains."Last time at the Kelowna's party, you were the same way. Father and mother kindly provided you with an opportunity to marry a wealthy man, but you not only failed to appreciate it, you also pretended to be a victim and used that to seduce Harrison. You offended Kelowna, making The Obsidian Pack a laughingstock in our social circle! Do you know that because of your actions that night, I couldn't attend any social events for almost a week?"Listening to Rebecca's hysterics, I couldn't help but find it laughable."Oh? So the biggest setback you've faced in your life is not being able to attend social events for a week?"The sarcasm in my tone was quickly noticed by Rebecca.She glared at me with malice and suddenly raised her hand, delivering a resounding slap to my cheek.Smack—Perhaps it was due to Rebecc
Kayla’s POV"Harrison..." I widened my eyes in astonishment as Harrison, dressed in black, approached me in the darkness."Harrison?" Rebecca's surprised expression turned to one of fear.Her raised hand remained suspended in the air until Harrison stood in front of her, and only then did she finally react, toning down her previous arrogance and haughtiness."Harrison, I... How did you suddenly appear here?""Perhaps I overheard someone mentioning my name," Harrison said, smirking coldly, his deep eyes filled with icy intent."You..." Rebecca nervously stammered. "What else did you hear?""I also heard you say you wanted to be my Luna, didn't I?""I..." Rebecca's face turned instantly red, and she appeared shy like a young girl. "I didn't know you were here, Harrison. You... don't mind, do you?""What do you think?"Before Rebecca could react, Harrison's tone had already grown cold."A woman like you isn't even worthy of the lowest-ranking wolf in The Dark Night Pack! How dare you har
Kayla's POVSince that night when Harrison stormed into The Obsidian Pack to rescue me from my father's captivity and personally took me to the hospital, he hasn't had any direct contact with me.Instead, he assigned Rick to stand guard outside the hospital room day and night, taking care of me and Daisy.I understand the reason behind Harrison's actions. There's still a burning flame of anger in his heart, a flame I ignited with my own hands, named Daisy's heritage. In other words, he's still mad at me.Today, Daisy is being discharged from the hospital, and early in the morning, the nurse took her for her final check-up before leaving the hospital.Amber comes to visit us at the hospital at a set time every day. Today, she asked about my condition."Hey, Kayla! Are you feeling better today?""Don't worry. It's just some scrapes."To alleviate her worries, I even extended my hand in front of her."See, it's nothing, right? You guys are making a big deal out of it.""A big deal?"Ambe
Kayla's POVBecause it had been a while since I'd been home, a thin layer of dust had settled on the windowsills of the Westminster mansion.Considering Daisy had just recovered from surgery, and I hadn't yet figured out how to broach the topic of moving with her, I took out Daisy's favorite teddy bear from the luggage and handed it to her."There's too much dust at home, Mom needs to clean up a bit first. Daisy, can you sit in the living room and play with your teddy bear for a while?""Okay, Mom."Daisy blinked and obediently started playing with the teddy bear.I went into the bedroom and began tidying up our luggage.However, before long, Daisy appeared in front of me again, looking at me with pleading eyes."Mom, Teddy's ball fell.""Mom's busy right now, Daisy. Can you be a good girl and try to pick up the ball yourself?""But the ball fell under the floor, and I couldn't reach it."Faced with my refusal, Daisy pouted and showed me the empty hands of her teddy bear."Under the f
Nathan's POVI had never felt such a bone-chilling cold in my life. Living in the temperate climate of Europe for so long has almost made me lose the ability to adapt to extreme cold.I stared at the reflection of myself in the icy wall, trying to minimize my breath, trapping the heat within my body.When I felt prepared, I took a deep breath and attempted to remove my clothing once more.That's when my pocket vibrated. It was a call from Kayla.I hesitated, staring at the name I had longed to see countless times. However, this time, I couldn't bring myself to hang up immediately as I had done before.I wasn't sure if I would live to see the sun rise tomorrow.With that thought, I let go of my inner struggle and answered the call."Kayla.""Nathan! Thank goodness you finally answered the phone! I'm at the house right now..."Hearing her voice again was like a ray of sunlight warming me. I couldn't help but curve my lips into a smile.I even felt my nearly numb limbs thawing in the fre
Nathan's POVI stripped off my clothes, standing stark-naked on the icy tundra.Closing my eyes, I called upon my wolf. A searing sensation burned through my organs, and as I opened my eyes, I shifted into a wolf.The enormous tundra wolf had long left her den. In this icy expanse, her pristine white fur was her perfect camouflage.I cautiously began searching for her tracks, aided by my keen sense of smell, detecting the foul scent emitted by the giant beast's breath from behind.I swiftly dodged to the side just as Storm's massive claws and the howling arctic wind brushed past my face.Amid the gasps of the onlookers, I evaded Storm's first ambush.As Alpha's pet, the tundra wolf was virtually at the top of the food chain and had never encountered a wolf as agile as me.She let out a furious roar, abandoning her stealthy approach, attempting to pounce on me directly with her massive size and incredible strength.But having already seen through her intentions, I reacted quickly, util
Kayla's POVI stood there, staring blankly at the now-ended phone call on the screen, feeling a wave of unease wash over me."Mom! It's time!" Daisy's childish voice interrupted my worry.I hurriedly gathered the scattered documents, returned everything to its original state, and started searching for the spherical ornament of Teddy Bear decorations in the corner of the basement.Fortunately, the basement was not very spacious, and I quickly found the bright little ball among the piles of clutter."Mom will be up in a moment."I put the small ball into my pocket, and I went up the stairs back to the villa, resealing the basement hatch."Found it, your little ball. Here you go!"I smiled and handed the ball to my daughter."Thank you, Mom!"Daisy looked up and gave me a sweet smile."Mom, why are you packing again? Are you going on a business trip again? Can I come with you this time?"Perhaps the last separation left Daisy with unpleasant memories. As soon as she saw the suitcase in t
