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
Simon's POVIn the early morning, I knocked on the door to the bedroom with a tray of breakfast in my hands."Rebecca, are you awake? I brought you some breakfast."Her response was still an angry shout, typical of a young girl. "Go away! I don't want to eat!""But you haven't had any meal for days."I didn't leave but rather called out to the door with some concern, "You should eat something, Rebecca! I heard you like salmon sandwiches, so I prepared one for you..."Before I could finish my sentence, the heavy wooden door in front of me suddenly swung open. Rebecca stood before me, her eyes filled with anger and sadness."I don't care who told you I like salmon sandwiches, but from today onwards, salmon sandwiches are the last thing I want!""Well, that's okay. I can prepare something else for you. How about seafood linguine? Or..."I tried to be patient with my fiancée, but it was clear that Rebecca was not appreciative of my patience. In her eyes, there was still only anger."I've
Rebecca's POVKnock, knock, knock.Once again, the bedroom door was knocked on.I raised my head and yelled loudly toward the door, "Go away! I don't want to see your ugly face!""Oh, Rebecca, you misunderstood. I'm Olivia, Russell's niece. I came to visit you today.""I don't care who you are! I just want to be alone!"The outside of the door quickly fell silent. Just as I was about to immerse myself in my own sorrow again, the door was opened. A luxuriously dressed, elegantly mannered woman entered my room with a smile."Hi Rebecca, do I need to introduce myself again?""What do you want?"I sat up in bed, giving her an irritated glare."If you're here to persuade me to marry your uncle Simon, then please leave now!""Oh, of course not."Olivia sat down beside me with a gentle tone."I just wanted to make a new friend. You see, there aren't many girls in The Dark Night Pack, and my daily life is quite lonely. So when I heard that Harrison brought back a girl of my age, I immediately
Luisa's POVIt was early evening, and the wedding had yet to begin. As Alexander and I entered The Dark Night Pack, his eyes immediately scanned the surroundings, searching for Harrison.I seized this opportunity and gently tugged at my husband's arm, playfully saying, "Darling, may I go to Rebecca's room for a moment?""The wedding is about to start, and Rebecca probably won't have time to see anyone else."Alexander clearly hadn't forgotten my lack of enthusiasm for this marriage. He gave me a questioning look and straightforwardly declined my request. But I wasn't ready to give up; I clung to his arm, pressing my body close to his."I just want to offer Rebecca a few words of advice as a mother. You know, Rebecca has always been a virgin, and if she doesn't know how to please her husband—""Hmm..."Alexander assumed a thoughtful expression. After a while, he smirked and used his finger to tilt up my chin."You're right, Luisa. In this regard, Rebecca could use your guidance. But...
Kayla's POV"Mom! Your phone is ringing!" Daisy ran into the kitchen, holding my phone in her hands."Thank you, sweetie." I turned off the gas stove and took the phone from Daisy. I noticed an unfamiliar number on the screen."Hello?""It's me, Luisa. Listen, I have something very important to tell you.""I don't have anything to say to you," I responded with a cold huff, ready to hang up the call.But it was clear that she anticipated my reaction. Before I could end the call, Luisa shouted at the speaker."Don't you want to know the truth about your mother's death?""What did you say?""You heard me," Luisa's tone calmed. "If you're still interested in that past, come to the forest of The Dark Night Pack.""What if I refuse?"I tried to keep my voice as steady as possible, but my fingers gripping the phone had already turned white from the pressure."Then the truth about this matter will forever remain buried in lies. You have only one chance, Kayla.""You... Hello? Hello?"Before I
Kayla's POV"What do you want, Olivia?"I became instantly wary upon hearing Olivia's words."This is The Dark Night Pack, Harrison's territory! If anything happens to me, he'll surely find out that you're the culprit!"Despite my warning, Olivia remained unfazed, and her face still bore an expression of impatience."Don't you think repeating the same thing twice becomes rather uninteresting?""I'm not Luisa, my father was once Harrison's father's Beta. If you want to scare me, Kayla, you'll have to try harder."As Olivia spoke, she advanced toward me step by step, while I took a step back, maintaining our distance."Do you know, when I was little, everyone I met told me that I would be Harrison's wife, and Harrison would inherit his father's position to become the Alpha of The Dark Night Pack. That way, I would be the Luna of The Dark Night Pack.""But the Moon Goddess always likes to play tricks. Harrison's father died in battle, and my father also died protecting his Alpha. In an i
Harrison's POV"So... Mr. Morris, regarding the matter you previously promised me. As long as I agree to hand over my daughter to you, in return, you will help me reclaim the territory that was taken by The Sliver Moon Pack and The River Pack..."As I stared at Alexander Reeves, who seemed like an insistent fly, constantly buzzing in my ear, I couldn't help but furrow my brow."Are you questioning whether I will keep my promise?"At the instant my voice fell, Alexander's body trembled, and a look of fear instantly crossed his face."Of course not, Mr. Morris! I just suddenly remembered..."Before Alexander could finish his sentence, there was a sudden chorus of screams and shouts from the distant wedding venue.I pushed Alexander aside and grabbed a passerby who was hurrying away, calmly inquiring, "What's happening?""Alpha!""Something terrible is happening; it's Russell... Russell's wedding stage is on fire!""On fire?"I looked in the direction of the wedding venue, my brow furrow
Harrison's POVI arranged the severely injured Kayla in the central villa of The Dark Night Pack and immediately summoned all the doctors and nurses I could think of.In just one night, the villa was flooded with medical personnel and warriors.Perhaps the Moon Goddess heard my prayers, because after a day and night of rescue, Kayla finally emerged from the brink of death.When the chief doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and cautiously conveyed this news to me, I could almost see the relief on the faces of all the medical professionals.During Kayla's treatment, Martin's investigation also yielded some results.However, the process of investigating the prime suspect, Olivia, who carried the esteemed Russell surname, proved to be so challenging that even Martin found it tricky.Therefore, I had no choice but to announce a trial for Olivia. While the trial itself would take less than half a day, as a precaution, before leaving the central villa, I gathered all the people in the h
