--CARLAI couldn't stop tears from falling from my eyes seeing my daughter. She was lying in bed with a tube attached to her hand containing medicine or whatever they hoped could treat her. At a glance, she looked peaceful, in contrast to before, when blood was all over her body. Of course. They cl
ZURINThe news about my daughter forced me to return to the packhouse as soon as possible. Surely, after I assessed the situation and concluded that the South would be fine without me. Dad and our men were on their way and should arrive by now. Also, the help from Dylan and Tyler had come, and we wo
I took her free hand and started peppering it with kisses. She didn't say anything, but I knew she needed our contact at the moment because it kept her sanity."Maybe my decision to leave Lake Pack was wrong." She said it low, so low that if I didn't have heightened hearings, I might not catch it."
RAY'They're coming.'Travis mind-linked me when I began wondering when our enemy was coming. Of course, we never wished for a war. But with things happening at all of our borders, we expected a great war, which they thought they could easily take over our pack.However, it would never happen. We wo
CARLA'Promise me you'll stay on Lilith's side, no matter what.' Zurin connected to my mind multiple times already after his departure. He didn't leave far and merely out of this building with Travis and others. It would give him the freedom to focus on his tasks without Cherry or me disturbing him.
ZURINMy daughter was awake.Carla told me the news, and I felt half of my burden being lifted up. Cherry was fine, and there was nothing more important than that. Yes. Our pack is above everything. But deep down, my family is always my top priority.I actually wanted to go to them right away and se
TRAVISWe won the battle.Although our warriors were severely injured, we lost no one. The Alpha had ordered sending more doctors to the borders to treat our people, and I only hoped they would be fine soon. Only then could we celebrate our victory.Another thing that relieved me was Lilith managed
GARYThey failed to ambush Wild Fire territory.The news was like lightning striking and burning my confidence we would win the battle. Of course. I asked for help from the witch and other groups of rogues—things I didn't do in the last attack because I was aware no one inside their pack had become
"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
