I hoped it was the only number we must fight.'What are they waiting for?' I asked Ray through the mind-link. The fight hadn't started, and they were only standing, looking at us, and baring their teeth as if mocking us for poking our pride. Alpha's pride is their territory and the people inside. An
ZURIN"Zurin!"I couldn't be wrong. It was Eve. She looked almost the same as in my memory except for scratches on her body. A growl escaped my throat when the thought of someone hurting her came to mind. Who the hell did that to my mate?My mate?Only then did everything sink in. I didn't smell Eve
I didn't know. I even couldn't react properly to Eve's appearance, let alone knowing I had a son I never knew. And as much as she wanted to explain, I told her to hold on. I couldn't take all the information at the same time.Carla was already facing my direction when I emerged from the forest. The
CARLAI felt my body tense when the Alphas said a group of rogues headed for our pack. It immediately brought the image to the day Zurin and I were traveling to Blood Moon Pack and found Ian's people blocking our way. There was a fight soon afterward, and the sight must be similar. Blood would be ev
Yes. I needed it most, as I couldn't get it from my mate right now. He put his wall up, and I knew he did it to hide the turmoil in his heart, just like mine.I forced a smile to form on my lips. "Thank you, Hannah," I said to her before looking around with the same miserable smile. "And everyone."
CARLAI rushed to my daughter and immediately embraced her once she was within reach. She now had tears all over her face while holding the poor Choco."How could you push my son like that?" Eve arrived at the place, and the first thing she did was snap at me. Or it should be Cherry. "Haven't you ta
"Don't you see, Zurin? She pushed our son to the ground. Which parent doesn't rush to watch it?" The way Eve was talking was like Michael complaining about what Cherry did.Zurin was about the answer, but I beat him. "I apologize if my daughter pushed him. But it wouldn't happen if your son didn't p
ZURINIt must be hell.If you think finding a mate is heaven, well, it is. It was what I felt five years ago when I smelled Eve for the first time and months ago when I scented Carla. However, having both mates, Carla and Eve, at the same time was never heaven. It was fucking hell!I still couldn't
"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
ZURINA week went by swiftly. We had been returning to daily activities, discussing Luna Ceremony preparation, and more. The point was that we were moving on for the better.The Alphas brought their Lunas to visit our pack house. They came to check on my mate and the pack. It made her happy, and the
"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
