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
But instead of replying, she only shook her head and murmured the same words. "No. No. He's my son. He's Zurin's." Then she dashed toward the door.Yes. Eve was leaving the room.Bryce brushed his face with his palms in frustration. "I don't fucking understand what's happening."The answer was simpl
ALPHA BRYCE"Yes, Alpha Eric. I apologize for the inconvenience. Yes. We will discuss it again tomorrow." I said to Alpha Eric through a phone call. Alpha Eric and Alpha Tom's convoy decided to stay in a hotel in the city, as they didn't want to pressure us. But we couldn't escape for long. They dem
However, my mate is amazing. She always made sure my insecurities wouldn't affect my decisions related to the pack. We would usually sit together and voice our concerns about a matter. Afterward, we would review our options and reopen the discussion with a more refreshed state the next day. We might
EVEI kept pacing back and forth inside my room since I left Bryce's office this morning. I would sit on the nearest sofa if I was tired from walking. But then, I couldn't sit still for long and would return to roam the room.It was my mind causing it. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened th
"It can't tell the pain. You don't forget scars will appear whenever a mate is intimate with someone else, do you?""Oh, that..." He couldn't finish his sentence. He must not have thought that far."We can't use it." I decided for us. Both reasons, the truth and the lies, were bad. It was either the
JOSHUA"What?" Alpha Ian snapped before Gary finished telling the news. He rose from his seat, and anger was all over his face. He looked furious."They now know Michael is not Zurin's son," Gary repeated, and I was sickened by the way he said it. He sounded not affected at all, as if it wasn't a pr
"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
