I meant Eve wasn't here, so I thought staying here for a night or more was okay. And Carla and Cherry seemed not to have a problem either.So here we were."Ah!" Carla immediately closed her mouth when a shriek escaped her lips, causing both of us to hold our breath as we sensed our daughter's movem
CARLAI knew I shouldn't be running. However, the news I got from my mate made me do so. The doctor came with the result of the DNA test. And I couldn't help but be curious about that.I wanted to know.I stopped in front of Zurin's office door. But I didn't knock and just stood there to steady my b
I didn't realize I was crying until sobs escaped my lips, and my mate suddenly crouched beside me. "Hey, what's wrong?" His voice was laced with worry, asking that.I spun around to look at him. But I guessed it wasn't enough, so I hugged him instead, drowning my face on his shoulder as tears were f
CARLA"Zurin, wake up," I called my mate, almost whispering so as not to startle him, who still had his eyes closed. I actually didn't want to wake him up and disturb his sleep. But I thought I had to since I saw the sky was grey and soon the sun would rise. He was usually awake around this time.Al
"Stay here." He ordered before processing to the fridge and preparing the ingredients. He would use a ready-dough, as I didn't make a request, and now cutting paprika. "Do you want it spicy?" He asked when he worked on the sauce.I shook my head.He didn't say more and just did everything in silence
FORMER ALPHA ERICI arrived at the Council around dinnertime after taking over five hours of driving. I left my territory after the doctor came with the last results of Zurin and Michael's DNA test, and we worked quickly to gather proof and everything to bring with me. And I didn't go alone. Connor
I only hoped for one. John didn't intervene with the pack matter anymore. Maybe Bryce needed to kick him out."He'll be a great Alpha if he succeeds in handling that," I said after a long silence."It's a long way to go, then. And facing this matter must be another obstacle.""Yeah. I agree with you
FORMER ALPHA ERICI saw the color drain from Eve's face the moment I mentioned the DNA test, and it was paler when I threw the last question. She was shocked. And I could tell she hadn't prepared for this."A DNA test?" Samia parroted my words, which I bet stunned her, too. Or I must say everyone, a
"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
