Kayla’s POVWhen Harrison declared war on The Obsidian Pack as the Alpha of The Dark Night Pack, the entire world of werewolves was thrown into shock. Television, radio, the internet—almost everywhere was discussing the war and the war's slogan: revenge.I hadn't entered the frontline of the war, but I was still on edge all day, fearing that something would happen to Harrison in the battle.Finally, on the third day after the declaration of war, Harrison, covered in blood, brought Alexander before me."Are you okay, Harrison?"I paid no attention to the already limp Alexander on the ground and anxiously rushed toward Harrison, who was covered in blood, continually checking with my eyes if he had any injuries."Don't worry, I'm fine," Harrison reassured me as he pressed me onto the couch. "You know, facing someone like him, I don't even need to use force. This isn't my blood."Harrison took off his bloodied clothes, throwing them aside with disdain. "Take them out and burn them.""Yes,
Kayla's POV"So, Olivia used your stepmother to deceive you into going to the back of the mountain, and then she pushed you off the cliff? And your stepmother told you that your father, Alexander, was the one who killed your mother?"Amber looked at me, her face now wearing an expression of jaw-dropping astonishment."That's about the gist of it," I replied, strangely calm despite Amber's shock."In fact, over the years, Alexander has done many unforgivable things, but I always forgave him in my heart because he was my father. Now that I know the truth about him killing my mother, I finally have enough reason to convince myself to hate him. Strangely, this hatred has made my heart feel lighter.""Oh, my poor Kayla."After hearing my words, Amber hugged me, my heart aching, and only let go after a while."What about Harrison? I heard Peter mention that he waged a war against The Obsidian Pack under the pretext of 'revenge.' Was that also to avenge your mother?""No, Amber. That's a dif
Harrison's POV"So, Harrison, is it true that the reason you launched a war against The Obsidian Pack, as it's widely rumored, is to avenge your father's death?"Peter, who had just entered the study, couldn't even take a sip of his whiskey before impatiently asking the question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time."Aren't you going to taste this whiskey first? It's the finest Scotch I've imported from Scotland." I calmly sat back on the sofa, raising my chin toward Peter, who appeared quite anxious."Do you realize how chaotic it is outside now?" He continued."The best whiskeys are all safely stored in my house. So, how about having a drink with me first? I have everything under control out there. Alexander Reeves has already been thrown into The Dark Night Pack's dungeon. Their Alpha has been captured. What's left to call a war? What's there to be chaotic about?""But this is a war under the banner of 'revenge'!"In response to my seemingly indifferent attitude, Pete
Kayla's POVTo welcome Amber and Peter, Harrison hosted a sumptuous dinner at the villa.At the long table, Harrison and I, Amber and Peter sat on opposite sides. Daisy, who was very tired, had already eaten and was put to sleep in the bedroom."Do you remember the promise we made when we were young, Harrison?" Peter cut a piece of beef and placed it in his mouth, then looked at Harrison with a mischievous smile, which made him appear to be in good spirits.The relaxed atmosphere at the dinner table was a rare moment when Harrison playfully teased his best friend."When you were young, you said a lot of things, Peter, even I couldn't make you stay quiet for five minutes.""Well, that's not fair, Harrison. Back then, it was you... Wait a minute, you almost steered the conversation off track again."Peter wiped his mouth with a napkin, then put down his knife and fork, smiling as he held Amber's hand next to him."We made a promise back then that when we both found our mates, we would w
Kayla's POV"Amber? Amber! May I come in?"Hearing the intermittent cries from the room, I gently knocked on the guest room's door. Fortunately, Amber had no intention of isolating herself. After a few seconds, I heard her voice from inside."Come in.""Oh... Amber..."I closed the door behind me and quickly walked to the bedside, tightly hugging Amber, who was still crying."Don't be so sad, sweetheart; you're still carrying a baby. Excessive grief won't be good for your health and the baby's well-being, Amber."I patted Amber's back, trying to calm her. It worked, especially when I reminded her of her unborn child. She gradually stopped crying.She lifted her head from my embrace, her eyes teary, and asked, "Where's Peter? Did he leave? Did he really just leave me here all alone?""Calm down, Amber."Not wanting to upset her further, I didn't immediately answer her question."Actually, I think Peter has a point. We met Donald Rufus at your wedding, and he seemed like a dangerous cha
Kayla's POVAfter comforting Amber, I returned to my room with a lingering heaviness in my heart. Before I could even turn on the lights, a deep voice suddenly echoed in the dim room."Why are you back so late?""Harrison!"I patted my chest, trying to calm my heart that had nearly jumped out of my throat due to Harrison's sudden presence. With a tone of surprise, I complained to the shadowy figure in the dark, "Please, don't appear in my room so suddenly, okay?"Afterward, I turned to open the room's light. However, a strong hand grabbed my wrist in the dark."Your room? Sweetie, everything here belongs to me, including you."Harrison pulled me into his embrace. I heard his deep laughter, and I even forgot to ask why he was here."During dinner tonight, you heard what Peter said, right?"I had a moment of distraction, and I couldn't follow Harrison's thought process. "What?""It's about our old agreement, the one Peter and I made. When we both find our mates, we get married, become A
Kayla's POVEarly in the morning, after Harrison issued an eviction order to me, I packed my belongings, woke up my still-sleeping daughter, and prepared to leave The Dark Night Pack."Mommy, where are we going?" Daisy, who hadn't fully awakened yet, rubbed her eyes with her tiny hands and mumbled a blurry question."We're going home, sweetheart.""Home? Isn't this our home, Mommy?" Daisy opened her eyes, looked up at me with hazy, bewildered eyes."What about Daddy? Isn't he leaving with us?""Well..."As I was figuring out how to explain this series of questions to Daisy, the warriors at the villa's entrance stopped us."I'm sorry, ma'am, without Alpha's orders, you can't leave here as you please."I put Daisy down from my arms and responded to the expressionless warrior in front of me."I'm not a member of The Dark Night Pack. You and your Alpha have no authority to restrict my freedom.""I understand, Mrs. Reeves."Though this warrior had mastered the art of concealing his emotion
Kayla's POVAfter my conversation with Amber, my mood had calmed down considerably. I decided it was time to have a talk with Harrison. After putting Daisy to bed, I left the bedroom.I confirmed with the servants that Harrison had returned tonight, and then I stood in the hallway, hesitating before knocking on Harrison's bedroom door."Harrison? Are you in there?"The response I received was silence.Just when I thought Harrison might not want to see me again, his low voice came from behind the door."Come in."Inside the spacious master bedroom, only a small bedside lamp was lit. Harrison was leaning against the edge of the bed, his shirt collar open, revealing his well-built chest. In the dim light, he looked especially ambiguous and enticing.I swallowed hard, softly called his name."Harrison..."Harrison raised his gaze, interrupting me coldly, "What is it?"Faced with Harrison's cold attitude, I gathered my courage and took a step toward him."I... I want to talk to you, Harris
