Dominic’s POV (Beta of Nox) My Alpha King seems to be in a bad mood at the moment. I was worried that it was because I forgot to inform him about Luna Etizia's visit, and he might be exposed since he was not wearing his mask. Luckily, I managed to locate the maid who attempted to harm Luna Etizia with a heavy bucket, which is why I am still alive up to this point. Observing from behind the Alpha, I see him standing menacingly in front of the Omega maid, who is sitting on the ground with tears in her eyes. "Was it you?" Alpha Nox snarled, his voice filled with anger. The maid dropped to her knees, her eyes filled with fear. "I'm so sorry! Please, I didn't mean to hit Luna with the bucket. I was just trying to throw the water. But it slipped from my hands and..." Her words were cut off as the Alpha pressed his sharp claws against her neck. She froze, meeting his icy gaze. "I have no intention of showing mercy. You know that death is the only punishment. So, if you want a pa
Etizia’s POV "Regrettably, the person playing the piano is your brother-in-law," Alpha Nox said. I nervously gripped the fabric of my skirt while gazing at my husband. It was strange how, just moments ago, he had asked me if I preferred someone who could play the piano well, and now he was mentioning Timothy playing the piano? How odd is that? For a brief moment, I wondered if Nox had somehow discovered my past relationship with his older brother. However, if that were the case, he wouldn't be as calm as he appeared to be right now. 'Don't jump to conclusions. It's probably just a coincidence. Nox might not know anything,' I reassured myself silently. Nevertheless, it was definitely suspicious that Nox had invited me to have a meal with his brother. “Wow. He can play so well, right,” I murmured, not wanting to stay quiet for a long time because he might notice my bewilderment. Nox nodded his head and said, “Yeah. But I will not appreciate it if you fall for my brother.” I gu
Nox’s POV The report on my older brother's previous relationship arrived. It revealed that he used to date a she-wolf with Omega blood from an unknown Pack. This woman resided in a cabin near the city and sold fruits. Even though I didn't know her name, I instantly recognized who it was. IT WAS MY MATE. MY WIFE. MY LUNA. With this knowledge, everything that happened before started to make sense. I understood why Etizia appeared so shocked upon seeing him and why Timothy acted so emotionally, ultimately choosing to reside in my castle. Timothy is the rogue who caused my mate to fall in love with him, only to eventually abandon her and subject her to humiliation. I gave way for my mate’s happiness, but he dared to hurt her?! I was so mad that I wanted to beat my brother right away. But then, I realized that his rejection resulted in my marriage with Etizia. I can tolerate them hiding their past relationship from me. I was hiding something from Etizia as well. What I can’t tolerat
Timothy’s POV It wasn’t worth it. Leaving Etizia and sacrificing myself wasn’t worth it. When I saw her being affectionate with my brother, I decided to fight against my fate. Good thing Nox found out about our relationship, giving me a valid excuse to get Etizia again., I extended my hand and offered her, "Etizia, I know I've made countless mistakes. But I've regretted them. So, I've come up with a plan for us. Run away with me.” I could see the doubt in Etizia's eyes. She seemed to trust Nox, but she appeared troubled when I revealed that Nox had killed our father to seize the Alpha King position. She needs to be scared of him. She needs to stay away from him. She needs to leave him and come with me instead. And she will do that. Because she loves me, and I love her. Etizia locked eyes with me and shared, "Nox told me something when you were gone. He doesn't care about my past - who I dated or loved. All he wants is my loyalty." She gave a small smile before adding, "I wo
Etizia's POV Sitting next to the window in my room, I couldn't help but think about the spot where I encountered Timothy. It wasn't because I was contemplating his proposal to escape with him, but rather because I was troubled by his claim that Alpha Nox was responsible for their father's death. 'Could Nox really have done such a thing to gain power?' 'Maybe he had a good reason,' my wolf chimed in, trying to defend my mate's actions. I glanced over at the maid, who was tidying up my room. "Hanny," I called out. Hanny turned towards me. "Yes, Luna?" she responded. "Have you ever met the former Alpha King and the Alpha of Renoir?" I inquired. Hanny shook her head. "I'm afraid not. By the time I arrived here, he was already dead." "I see." "But I've heard things about him," she added. "He was a ruthless Alpha King who was feared by many. He's violent and wouldn't hesitate to watch a member of his Pack die. The previous Alpha King didn't believe in peace. And also," she paused,
Etizia's POV Nox and I had wandered so far away from the others that I couldn't even hear my stepsister's cries as the guards took her away. Nox and I ended up in a remote area where there was no sign of anyone else. Not even the werewolf guards who usually followed me around. Nox released my hand and came to a stop, not bothering to glance back. I stared at the hand he had been holding, noticing that there were no marks despite his firm grip. It was as if he was trying to be as gentle as he could. Looking at his back, I began to conversation. "It's not true." “…” "That night, your brother and I met by chance. He was talking nonsense, and I brushed him off before going back to my room. The rumor isn't true." Nox exhaled as he stared back at me. His deep voice then reverberated, "Then what is the truth?" He locked his gaze with mine. "What is the f*cking truth, Etizia?" His voice, completely different from the one I was used to, felt strangely familiar for a brief moment. I
Etizia's POV They said some married couple fixed their misunderstanding with affectionate actions. Nox and I shared a kiss. So, what does that mean for us now? We're still a married couple, obviously. But is there something more to it? I mean, this is the second time we've kissed. 'What comes next?' I pondered. I glanced at my husband, who was seated beside me in his office. We haven't spoken since our kiss. We just silently returned inside and stayed quiet. Maybe it's just too awkward to break the silence and start talking. What should I even say? While pondering on potential conversation starters or excuses to leave, I suddenly heard him groan in pain. "Ugh. Damn it," he muttered. Curiosity piqued, I turned around and noticed him clutching his head. My gaze then drifted downwards, fixating on his bare chest. It hadn't registered with me earlier, but it appeared that my husband had ventured out of the castle without wearing a shirt! Feeling a sudden surge of heat, I avert
Nox's POV "It seemed like you fixed your relationship with Luna Etizia," commented Dominic, causing me to stop in my tracks and turn to look at my Beta. He had a mischievous grin on his face as he walked beside me. "What are you talking about? And why are you grinning like that?" I asked, narrowing my eyes in confusion. "Alpha, your grin is quite more noticeable. Ever since you left your office where your wife is, you've been walking around with a grin and humming," he explained. I have? I hadn't even realized. "People who saw you thought you were excited to go to the prison and make your wife's stepsister suffer. Everyone you passed by was scared. But I could tell it was because of your wife," he added with a knowing smile. Currently, I was en route to meet Phia, the oldest daughter of Alpha Quinn. However, Etizia consumed my thoughts. I couldn't contain my excitement about completing my tasks and being able to spend more time with my mate later tonight. I even informed her t
Nox’s Point of View“Ask someone to deliberately tell to my father that we have the same mother,” my pregnant mate suddenly asked me a ridiculous request.“What?” I gasped.Etizia looked at me with determination in her eyes and said, "My Alpha, I want you to put an end to Alpha Quinn. Can you make that happen?""I already have a plan to take care of him. But why the rush?"Etizia proceeded to share what she had discovered from her father. It was then that I learned about the history between my mother and Etizia's mother, how they had become friends.Upon hearing the truth, all I could think about was going to Esquar and eliminating Quinn!However, Etizia stopped me. "I also wanted to personally kill Alpha Quinn. But first, we need a strategy to win over the Alphas from other Packs."She was right. I needed a valid reason to take down Quinn. 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
Etizia’s Point of View“When I learned that you are still alive, I went to search for Madeline who took care of you when you were a child. It was her who told me the story of the past,” my father, Harry, said.After knowing how my mother lived an awful live in the hands of ruthless Alpha like Victor and Quinn, I was filled with intense anger.‘And now, I feel thankful that Nox killed his father and avenge both Luna Jasmine and my mother.’But if there’s someone I pity the most, it is my father who lived his life longing for my mom to come back.“Dad, thank you so much,” I said.My dad met my eyes.“For being with me now, and for recognizing me as my mom’s daughter.”Dad smiled at me, but there’s still a hint of sadness in his eyes, and I totally get why.“Mom did her best to protect me and you. Perhaps, it was her dream for us to live happily forever.”I stood up and held my father’s hand. “So, why don’t we fulfill mom’s wishes?”“Aren’t we already living a good life?” he inquired.“W
Harry approached the female wolf who had appeared out of nowhere, holding a letter in her mouth."What's this?" he asked, curious about the unexpected delivery.Madeline, the wolf who had fulfilled a dying wish, replied with a hint of deception, "I'm not sure. Someone gave it to me and told me to give it to you."With her task completed, Madeline bid farewell to Harry and left.Perplexed, Harry opened the letter and was immediately overcome with emotion as he recognized the familiar handwriting. Tears welled up in his eyes."This is Emilia's letter," he whispered, his voice trembling.Suppressing his anxiety, he began to read the heartfelt words penned by his wife, who had vanished after revealing her pregnancy.“If you see this letter, I wanted to tell you that I love you so much,” the letter began like this.Harry cried loudly. His hands trembled on the paper as he continued to read each stroke Emilia written down.She told him what happened to her life. About the Luna’s child, Nox,
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,
Luna Margo was mourning over her dead child.However, the Alpha Quinn’s mate is still alive.They couldn’t believe that the Alpha had only kicked out Emilia as a maid in Alpha Quinn’s castle.Nevertheless, Emilia was happy and sad about two things. First, she’s happy that she doesn’t need to dwell with Alpha Quinn and Luna Margo. 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
Emilia looked at the bulging of her stomach. She's pregnant again, and this time, it is Alpha Quinn's child.While caressing her stomach, she looked at her first baby, Etizia. 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. The only person who treated her right was Harry.'That's why I cannot endanger his life,' Emil
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. He couldn't bear to see his wife in such a state any longer; he needed to uncover the truth and understand what was happening to her.Taking a seat in front of Emilia, Harry looked into her eyes, "What's wrong, Emilia? You've been acting strangely lately," he gently probed, hoping she would open up t
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 night was shrouded in darkness, with thick clouds obscuring the moon and stars, creating an eerie atmosphere. 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
