Etizia’s POV

How much time did he spend waiting for me?

How many hours did he sit on the bench just to catch a glimpse of my face?

Has he been doing this every single day since he arrived in this place?

These thoughts swirling in my mind made me realize that I haven't completely moved on from this man.

And perhaps that's why I found myself frozen in place, unable to take my eyes off him.

Luckily, I noticed the ring on his finger, which prompted me to glance down at my own ring.

"Snap out of it, Etizia. You and him are both married," warned Genivie, my wolf.

I exhaled and shifted my gaze towards the North.

"I heard that you and your wife recently moved here, brother-in-law. I hope you both have a pleasant stay. Well then, I must be on my way." I took a step forward.

But Timothy obstructed my path. "Where are you going?" he inquired.

I forced a smile and replied, "I don't believe it's my responsibility to disclose my destination to you."

"Indeed, it isn't. I was simply curio

    Etizia’s POV “Who made you cry?” Nox’s questions sharpened all my senses. I felt the rising tide of fear from my head to toe. With my paralyzed legs, I looked at my husband, who caught me crying over another man. I was unable to run away. The Alpha King leaned closer. His hand wrapped around my waist, and he pulled me. Once a close contact was made, his lips went near my ear. “You have the scent of another male wolf. Was it him who made you cry?” he whispered. SHIT. DO I SMELL LIKE TIMOTHY? “What did he do?” My husband murmured. “Do you want me to punish the bastard who made you in this mess? Just say a word.” Fear coursed through my veins like a dark river as I pulled away. "I saw your brother," I confessed, my heart pounding in my chest. Inside, I was screaming as Nox took a step back and locked eyes with me. "I was heading outside when I... when I ran into Timothy," I continued, the words spilling out. "We talked about the rogue wolf who rejected me. Timothy didn't do a

    Etizia’s POVI had hoped that venturing into the world of humans would finally reveal my husband's face concealed behind his mask. Yet, Alpha Nox remained adamant, refusing to unveil himself and opting to keep the mask on as we ventured out to the mall.The car was parked outside, with Dominic already outside waiting for us as Nox and I remained seated in the back.Feeling uneasy, I stole glances at him.It will be impossible not to receive stares and whispers from those who will be around us, all curious about this man in the mask.Thus, I mustered up my courage and took a deep breath before turning my head towards him. With a soft voice, I whispered his name, accompanied by his endearing title, "Alpha Nox."In response, Nox tilted his head towards me, his gaze fixed upon mine."Um, well, you see, we're in the human society. I can't help but wonder if it's safe for you to walk around with a mask covering your face," I nervously expressed.My heart raced, fearing his potential anger.

    Etizia’s POV When I awoke, I found my husband gazing intently at my face, his eyes resembling vibrant rubies. He remained frozen in place, seemingly unable to budge, as if I caught him trying to kiss me while I was asleep. Well, yeah. I also couldn't deny the truth. With such a small distance separating us and the intoxicating aroma of my mate enveloping the air, I felt an overwhelming urge to draw him nearer and taste his lips. It was the undeniable bond we shared as mates that fueled this longing. However, I had to resist. I couldn't allow this desire to consume me. Perhaps Nox's peculiar behavior was influenced by our mate bond. Could it be that he is drawn to my scent, explaining why he nearly kissed me? Curious and also excited to know the answer, I asked him, "What are you up to?" My words seemed to jolt him back to reality, causing Nox to distance himself. "I was just about to wake you up," he replied, leaving me feeling a tad disheartened. I couldn't quite fathom why

    Etizia’s POV I flopped down on the couch in my room. My cheeks were still on fire. "Why is it so warm in here?" Even splashing cold water on my face didn't seem to cool me down, and I'm pretty sure I still look like a tomato. Ugh. I tilted my head back and nibbled on my lip. The vibe earlier was just so odd. I knew I had good communication with my husband. But for him to flash me such a sweet smile out of nowhere? I was so awkward. We just said goodbye in front of the castle without saying a word. "I wonder what that was all about," I whispered to myself, but there was no answer. My heart was still racing, refusing to calm down. Nox and I are mates after all, so it's not surprising that I might feel drawn to him every now and then. I couldn't help but fidget as his smiling face kept popping up in my mind. I shook my head and let out a deep breath. "Is it really impossible to against destiny?" Nox and I were destined by the Goddess of the Moon. I used to think that love

    Nox’s POV My wicked father was the one who commanded everyone to conceal my face with a mask. There was a time when I revealed my face to my father and inquired why. But what was his response? "Your face disgusts me, Nox," he uttered. I wasn't foolish enough to not know which faces were deemed good and which were not. Honestly, I was aware that my face was better than that of the average man. However, my family despised the sight of me, and I grew up being treated like dirt. Once I discovered the reason behind it all, I made a promise to myself to never let anyone catch a glimpse of my face. But then, my partner entered my life and confessed that her heart skipped a beat just by looking at me. "Is that your way of saying you love my face?" I questioned my mate. She gazed at me with surprise, which was evident in her eyes. Then, she burst into laughter. "I can see you have quite a bit of confidence in yourself. Aren't you shy about asking me that?" she replied. “Not even a bit,”

So, I followed my wife's advice and set a trap for him.Only a few days after, Beta Dominic came to me and said, “Alpha. The Elders are on their wa

    Emilia trudged wearily on her way home, her body worn and bruised. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her belly. "Ouch!"It wasn't yet time for her to bring a new life into the world, but the pain she felt was reminiscent of her first childbirth.Gritting her teeth, Emilia finally reached her house."Oh my gosh! What happened to you?!" Madeline, the babysitter, exclaimed."Madeline, I need your help. I think I'm about to give birth to the Alpha's baby.""What? But it's not time yet!""I don't know! Please, just help me!" she pleaded.Madeline ushered her inside. As if sensing the tension, baby Etizia began to cry.“No, don’t worry, my little one. Everything will be fine,” Emilia winced.“Come over here!” Madeline guided Emilia to the bed.While the baby continued to cry, Emilia lay down on the bed and felt the blood flowing from her core. “Ahh!” she cried out in pain.“Push! Keep pushing!” Madeline encouraged, assisting her in delivering her second child.As Emilia endured the pain,

However, without money, she had to think of another way to support herself and her hidden daughter, Etizia.She couldn’t go out and hunt because Etizia would be alone in the house, and she had no money to pay the babysitter.Therefore, Emilia thought of one way. It is to ask for Luna Jasmine’s support.“Luna Jasmine was wondering about your life in Esquar,” a wolf sent by Luna uttered to Emilia.They met in the forest at midnight, making sure that no one had followed them behind.“I am doing fine,” Emilia said, caressing her stomach.The wolf who wasn’t staring at Emilia’s face noticed the sad tone of her voice.‘I can’t let Luna Jasmine know that I am pregna

The beautiful child was staring at her while her wolf ears were up.Emilia sighed."What's there to sigh?" asked Madeline, the she-wolf from Esquar Pack, who Emilia asked to take care of Etizia while she was working as a maid in Alpha Quinn's castle.The arrogant wolf, who did nothing but extort money from Emilia, crossed her arms and grinned at her."I heard that you are the Alpha's mate. You should be happy to achieve such a feat. Although he declined to marry you because you're an Omega, at least he desired your body."Emilia clenched her fists after hearing that.An Omega. Right.She's so weak that she can't fight for herself when a strong wolf desires her body.The Alphas whom she met only wanted to get her body.

    Harry approached Emilia, concern etched on his face. "Emilia, are you ready to have dinner now? I've already prepared it," he gently inquired, hoping to break through her silence.However, Emilia seemed distant and detached, her gaze fixed on the outside world through the window. She remained wordless, lost in her own thoughts.Harry couldn't help but notice that Emilia had been like this for the past three days, ever since she returned from the forest. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was bothering her, something she wasn't willing to share.Despite his attempts to inquire about her well-being, Emilia insisted that she was fine, leaving Harry feeling helpless and worried.

    Emilia lived in the forest as a rogue for too long.When she arrived in the human society with the Luna’s second baby, she had no idea how to survive.She’s not accustomed living in that place. More than that, the baby had a high fever.“Waah! Wahh!” baby Nox cried.No matter how much Emilia cradled him gently in her arms, he couldn’t stop crying.“Maybe because I ran under the heavy rain. This pup is really sick,” she worried. “And I couldn’t even take him to the human’s hospital.”Emilia wrapped the boy with the white fabric as the boy’s wolf ears were peeking out. A baby pup could not control their wolf in young age. And so, Emilia couldn’t take Nox to any hospital.“What should I do?” she cried, staring at the poor baby.As she pondered on what to do, she felt a presence near her.Emilia growled.She looked at the silhouette approaching her in the small alleyway. With one glance, she could tell that he’s a werewolf.“The baby needs medication as soon as possible,” the he-wolf sugg

The wind howled through the trees, and rain fell heavily, filling the air with a cacophony of sound.Amidst the stormy night, Luna Jasmine was in labor.With the power out, her room was plunged into near-total darkness. Unable to make it to the Pack's hospital in time, she had no choice but to rely on the midwife wolf as the baby was ready to arrive.Amidst the raging storm outside, the only source of light in the room came from the flickering glow of a few scattered candles.During a grueling hour, Luna let out a cry of pain, "Ahh!"However, rather than pushing, she halted. She fought against it. She tensed up with each contraction, bracing herself against the agony that seemed as though a wild truck driver was ramming into her stomach."Lean into the pain," the midwife encouraged in a shrill voice. "You have to push more, Luna!""I have no idea what that entails," Jasmin
