Silence.But it only lasted a few seconds as Eliot relayed the next information. "She doesn't know. She couldn't trace who the witch did it, nor the person ordered to do so. But you're right. There must be someone ordering them and..." He suddenly paused, purposely drawing our attention and preparin
CARLAThe first thing I saw when I woke up was my mate's eyes. But instead of being happy, my brows furrowed at the sight. I clearly heard him whisper something in the early morning before leaving the room. I didn't get the full as I was between dream and reality. But I heard him mention the Alphas.
My mate explained everything he and the Alphas discussed earlier about witches and magic, which I heard for the first time. I meant witches live among us. But it seemed not real to have them mess with our life. Zurin's life.But it might be true, as Eliot experienced it once. In fact, a witch helped
ZURIN"So this is our pup?" I asked while my eyes fixated on the screen before me. It showed an abstract image—I preferred to call it because I couldn't really tell what it was, except for the one Stephanie pointed out. It was only a tiny ball, but it had a heartbeat which assured me it was a living
"Yes. I never have a problem. Having Carla is already a blessing, and now our pup.""Good to hear that, Alpha. And I'm sorry I'm too excited so that I forgot to congratulate you. Congratulations on your pregnancy. We can't wait to meet our future Alpha."--"Are we going to visit Grandpa Eric?" Cher
CARLA"Mom, you already know about this?" The question escaped my lips, interrupting Zurin and Mom's conversation. No. I didn't mean Zurin couldn't tell anyone about this--everyone would find out, anyway. But he explained it just last night, and I assumed the preparation would be going today. But ac
--"This is amazing, Zurin!" I said as we made a stop in the center area of our new house. Oh, our new house! It was nice to call it one like it really belonged to us.We just finished touring this place. It's a classic 2-story house, and I felt at home already the moment we stepped inside. No. Just
CARLAI couldn't believe what I saw. All the people close to us were gathering in the same place. Our house. I still couldn't believe we moved out, but those people already made me feel one by sitting together in our yard. Of course, it is never as big as in the pack house, but it can definitely acc
"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
