ZURIN"Is something wrong?" I asked after the doctor checked Carla for a minute, which was like an eternity already. I could only sit beside my mate, holding her hand desperately, and it never became a pleasant moment. I wanted to know the result soon.Stephanie didn't reply right away. Instead, she
"I know." It was my promise to my daughter, and I couldn't possibly break it. But because I needed to bring her to the infirmary, Carla's parents replaced our presence as I asked them to go there first. "We'll be there, but you can't join us. You'll merely sit and do nothing. I'll explain to Cherry
CARLA"Is it according to your preferences?" Zurin asked from behind while I crouched beside the bathtub, putting my hand inside the water to check the temperature. He was sweet to prepare a bath for me and light the candle, sending calm already to my nerves. I needed it after a long, tough day."Ye
My hand crawled to his hair, brushing it while he placed another long, loving kiss on my stomach. Please, Goddess, make things between us work. I want him to be my mate and the father of my pups.--I thought I heard the sound of someone talking. No. It wasn't merely one, but more. Perhaps two, thre
ZURIN'Are you awake, son?' Dad's mind connected with mine when I enjoyed the time watching my purring mate. She looked beyond peaceful like this. And the most important thing was her scars disappeared.'What's up, Dad?' I asked back, brows furrowing. There was nothing wrong with the question. He us
"It's my choice wherever I will live.""Then let my daughter live here," Luna Samia said, defending her family."And it's my decision, whoever lives with me." To which I countered as calmly as possible. If I didn't remember the days we became family, I would definitely throw them out of our territor
ZURINMy heart clenched in pain at seeing my daughter. She was a crying mess in her mother's arms. And it was once again proving I was fucking useless. I let them hurt my family again, the purest soul in this house.But what was more painful was watching Cherry refuse to look at me, and I was aware
After more talk and ensuring Cherry understood to be careful during the healing process, we ended the visit. We were heading outside the infirmary together, waving at the people who greeted us on our way out. Well, it was actually only Cherry because she kept doing that as people's attention was on
"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
