"I've talked to your father and Nate, and they said they would come."I abruptly pulled away with shock plastered on my face. "When did you ask them?" As far as I remember, we had no conversation about Cherry's birthday."When we took a walk together."So that was what they were talking about. I tho
ZURIN"Watch out, Grandpa! Or my kick will hit you!"My head snapped to the nearest window to the desk I purposely left open. Behind it was the view of the yard where pups usually did the training. But today, it looked full as Mark and Nate joined as well, not for training but for learning how to tr
I knew it. Still, I couldn't accept what Elijah did to my daughter.However, there was someone ready to act. Mark stood up and walked toward the pups."I'm not a coward!" Cherry shouted back to Elijah at the same time Mark walked past her.Mark kept striding his way until he stopped in front of Elij
ZURINFive days went swiftly. Nothing unusual, and everything seemed normal. The packhouse was excited to hold the birthday party for our daughter and was busy with the preparation. Carla suggested an outdoor party, and I had no problem with that. Actually, an outdoor one would be perfect because pu
Only if she was still alive.I sighed inwardly, trying not to form any emotions on my face as I put the wall up already. I didn't want to destroy the moment. With or without my mother, it wouldn't change how special this moment was, not only for Carla but also for me. I loved her family because they
ZURINIt was Kania!'Dad, you must clean the mess you created. I don't want any misunderstanding, especially from Carla.' I grunted after informing Dad of Alpha Adam, Luna Monica, and Kania's arrival. This was the first time they visited here since I found my second chance, though Dad must have told
"Pleased to meet Luna Monica. I'm Carla." And here was her introduction."Yes. I heard about you. Pleased to finally meet you, Luna Carla. You're like what people say. So beautiful." There was no hesitation in Luna Monica's reaction once she and Carla faced each other. She even held Carla's hand wit
KANIAI didn't know what got into my head, so I agreed to come with my parents when they planned to visit Wild Fire Pack. They objected to my idea, and my brother also tried to stop me. But I insisted. I must go to Wild Fire and meet Zurin.It was going to be my first visit after my father threw the
"Hm." He copied his sister, but it didn't take long as he continued. "I want banana pancake with chocolate syrup."I nodded in agreement. The choice wasn't bad, though."Cherry, are you okay if we have a banana pancake and chocolate syrup for breakfast?" I offered my daughter since she had yet to ma
FOUR YEARS LATERZURINThe sound of waves was entering my hearing, pulling me slowly from my sleep. But warmth in my arms and sparks traveling throughout my body lured me to return to the comfortable place. I wanted to suck it longer. As long as possible.However, my body seemed not in synchrony. It
"Zurin!"--"Your bonds are sealed, and now I announce both of you as mates, the Alpha and Luna of Wild Fire Pack. May Goddess bless you with goodness and protect your bonds from any threat." The elder finished giving the blessings, which were instantly welcomed by applauses. It was from our guests,
FOUR MONTHS LATERTHE LUNA CEREMONYCARLAI looked at the reflection in the giant mirror in front of me. It is literally giant since we have to glue it to the wardrobe door, so it also reflects our bedroom, where I found my mate standing far behind and observing me."Are you satisfied with the sight
"What about this? You keep the gift for now and give it to us at the Luna Ceremony or the closest event." Zurin suggested, and I bobbed my head immediately."Zurin is right. You can give it to us at the ceremony." I repeated as if confirming it was my final decision.Thankfully, she understood. Othe
CARLADays went by swiftly. We were moving on, and it was in a positive way because I saw our people helping each other, like cooking a lot of food and bringing it to barrack or camp to support warriors and to help the houses without parents, taking care of pups, and more. It made the gloomy days va
Thus, I told Alpha Tom I was going to make her focus on training and studying. She once said she wanted to stand by my side in a battle, so I planned to make her the best female warrior. However, if she suddenly changed her dream—as it was normal that pup changed their dreams—I would ensure she woul

"How? I mean, why? Don't they deserve it?"He smiled, his hand going to my face. "Yes. I know. But love can make someone go blind and shove their rationality away. Do you remember your earliest days here? I was trying to have you by any means, including closing my eyes on Ian's dirty work. I did not
