"Everyone knows that, Dad. They just close their eyes as long as we are no harm to them. But now-" I paused while returning my gaze to Ian. "The Council won't sit back, especially after they captured Gary. The rogue works well with Ian. Do you think it's impossible to find you behind the attack on W
CARLAShe was coming.I thought they would arrive tomorrow. But it turned out they were already at the border this afternoon. And I couldn't be happier than this."Welcome to our pack, Tris," I uttered, hugging Tricia. She looked the same as the last time I saw her. A slight difference was probably
She merely bobbed her head, and all the while, her gaze didn't leave Devon. It seemed she understood it, though I might need to recheck it with her later.Devon's hand went to her hair, ruffling it softly. "Cherry is a nice name. I love cherry, too.""Really? Is cherry also your favorite?""Hm." He
ZURINMy hearing picked up screaming as soon as Tyler's Beta opened the door to the jail. It is in the basement, in a building near the barrack. On top of it is an arena where warriors do training or duel.Yes. It was a sound made by a prisoner, and I hoped Gary was one of them. We captured him and
"You! Leave Eve alone! She's innocent!" He shouted, eyes glaring at me."Innocent?" I repeated the word mockingly. "She contacted you regularly, even when she stayed at my packhouse. She updated you on our situation and your way to open the door to my pack. It's the same trick you used back then. Ad
CARLAI felt a hand clutching mine, who was lying on the bed. Soon, it was followed by a question. "How's their condition?"This morning, Zurin decided to bring me to see the doctor to check on my condition as well as our pup's. These past few days were hard, and he thought we should keep our eyes b
"I've never seen your mother angry. So let's go before they're back." Tricia's reply sounded like she was tempting my daughter to do something against my will.I cleared my throat, making them realize I was among them now and hearing everything. "What are you going to do, hm?" I asked, walking close
FIVE DAYS LATEREVEHe captured him.The Council captured Gary.No!I was pacing inside my room, holding my phone in my hand. I just finished calling Lake Pack to ask for the validity of the news, and their Beta confirmed it. Yes. Not their Alpha, who Gary was working with, but their Beta, and he sa
"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
