KRISTINA'S POVMonths later, I returned to the Crimson Snow Pack. Laurence discovered that I was actually his second chance mate through the moon goddess' intel. Laurence and I finally accepted each other, but our joyous moments together didn't last as I never got healed even after Nathan desperately tried to save me. His healing process wasn't enough, or so they thought.Alliyah was the main cause why I never felt better, she poisoned me after she figured out that Laurence was the one responsible for trapping her father. She sought for vengeance, and the only thing she could think of that would make Laurence suffer was to harm me.Laurence had no other choice left, he couldn't be mad at Nathan as he did his best, which he witnessed. He could only provide me and my triplets the happiness that they deserve for the remaining lifespan that I had, like fulfilling their wishes.They finally got blessed by the moon goddess. Laurence accepted my tainted body and chose to make love with me, r
KRISTINA'S POVThe next morning, Laurence came up with an idea to make this transition easier, and said it would be much better if we had someone take over some of the responsibility. I agreed right away. The others thought I was being unreasonable. I wasn't. As long as they were safe, I cared less where our lives took us. I am willing to sacrifice everything for them. Even though I didn't tell them how much of a hard time I'd had when we decided to have another child, I could see in their faces that they already knew, even though I hadn't said anything. Laurence made them understand that it wasn't about what we wanted, it was about what was best for everyone. Now, after the war against the Black Fangs Pack ended, I was finally able to relax. Even though we had lost most of our land during the war, the pack remained. We built a new settlement in the far northern region of the land, which is very near my old territory. A lot of people are happy to rebuild their homes. In fact, they
KRISTINA'S POVTormented. Humiliated. Anguished.My heart, which beats every second, wasn’t enough to make me feel alive. For the 18 years of my existence, I have been continuously ridiculed—no one believed that I had a wolf within me. They said that those who grew up in Wysteria Hope Orphanage were failures because they weren’t favored by the Moon Goddess, Serina.No one from the orphanage dared to fight for me. The only person who did was my childhood friend—my one and only crush—Laurence Alfaro, the son of the Crimson Snow Pack’s Alpha.We’ve always been together, and because of his constant appearance whenever I’m in trouble, I believed that Laurence actually felt the same way towards me. I’m not yet brave enough to confess my love for him. Even my wolf, Tina, was pushing me to confess. No matter if I got rejected by him or not, it would all be alright, or so she said."What are you spacing out for?" Laurence spoke, which disrupted my thoughts.I shook my head at the same time tha
KRISTINA'S POVThe Crimson Snow Pack members gathered together in the lobby. We were all dressed identically, but I felt like I stood out the most. Our theme was supposed to make us wear all black, and yet, I was the only exception—I wore a red dress that was tight on my waistline, which exposed the curves of my body. Even my breasts almost popped out because of their size.This was what Laurence told me to wear a while ago in preparation for his coronation night.He also lent me a sparkling golden necklace. It was the one that his mother had hidden before she disappeared from their lives. I think that might be one of the reasons why Laurence couldn't bear to see me in the orphanage—he doesn't want me to experience the worst part of being abandoned."You look magnificent tonight, Kristina," Laurence sincerely complimented me while he was holding onto his wine glass.I playfully smirked as I copied his gesture. "Just tonight?"He hissed before sipping on his drink. "You've always been
KRISTINA'S POV"I, Laurence Gabriel Alfaro, accept you, Aliyah Jane Montereal, as my mate. You can rest easy whenever you're with me; I swear to the Moon Goddess' name that I would never fail to make you ecstatic,'' Laurence genuinely mumbled to Lady Montereal while tenderly cupping her cheeks.I have been inattentive to everyone else who was trying to get my attention, as I was focused on nothing else other than watching Laurence and Lady Montereal get clingy with each other."How the hell can he be that touchy with someone he just met? So what if they're mates? I've known Laurence much longer than she does. If there's anyone out there suited to be Laurence's mate, it would obviously be me," I muttered, letting my thoughts escape through my mouth, thinking that no one would bother listening to my rants.We just had s*x a few hours ago, and now he's entertaining someone else.Aliyah Jane Montereal was the only one capable of handling the entire Black Fangs pack. She has such great man
KRISTINA'S POVDays went by, and I still hadn't found anything to eat. Once I begin to eat the flesh of my own kindred, then that won't really make me any different from a lone wolf who has gone crazy. My skin has gotten itchy because of the filthy surroundings that I'm not used to.I've been constantly moving out of my shelter every single time that my heightened senses warn me about dangerous wolves approaching. I've already tried countless times to connect with Laurence in our mind-link, to possibly ask him if he had a change of heart about me, but I could no longer reach him.It was supposed to be just another peaceful and ordinary night. I didn't expect that I would be surrounded by about five wolves who were all in the high grounds, patiently waiting for me to arrive and take another step towards my hidden hut."That silver hair of yours stands out too much. You're the only one who has that color," one of them said.Even if I was standing idly in the same spot, I made sure not t
KRISTINA'S POVWhen I reached the end of the path, I realized that I'm still outside the woods. Even though there weren't many humans around anymore, the forest remained the same scenery. I looked up at the dark skies, trying to see what kind of moon was there tonight. The clouds were slowly moving across the sky while the moonlight was shining brightly and giving a little relief to the dark surroundings. I looked down onto the muddy surface below me, taking in everything that I'm seeing. This must be some kind of trick from the Moon Goddess, showing her favor to me because I am no ordinary being who has been given a very special gift. A small, almost indiscernible noise caught my attention, and I was about to turn around when my eyes caught something that I shouldn't. It was too early in the morning to see such a strange sight since I couldn't see the person standing nearby. "Don't move!" Startled, my legs suddenly gave way from under me as my knees met the ground. A pair of long
KRISTINA'S POVThe young man dared to introduce himself to me. "I'm Nathan by the way." Then he extended his hand to me as a sign of his introduction. At first I hesitated, but eventually I also introduced myself to him. "I-I'm Kristina," I answered shyly, but I secretly smiled– a little bit. He's handsome enough. And he even looked like a gentleman who could give good advice, so I decided that I should trust him. But of course this is only temporary… I have to take a test to find out if he was really worth trusting or not. But still for now I can't help but to let down my guard and smile at him. This might just work. Maybe we'll meet again sometime and maybe there will be more interactions between us. After all Nathan isn't bad looking either and from time to time I wonder about what kind of men those in his world are. But then again the last thing I need right now is to get involved with any of them. I mean the last time someone got too close to me ended in an unfortunate acc
