CARLA"Mommy, will I have a mate when I grow up?"My head snapped up to look at beautiful grey eyes which mirrored mine. Not only that. Almost all her features were similar to mine, just in a smaller version.She was Cherry Houston, my beloved daughter. "Yes, honey. Goddess will send one to you." I
CARLA"No, Cherry! Don't come here! Go back to your room!" I yelled to prevent my daughter from coming to my place.But what could a four-year-old girl do in this situation?She might think being in her mother's arms was safer, although it meant she would run straight into the crime scene."Mommy."
CARLAI kept driving for I didn't know how long. All I knew was I had to go away as far as possible so no one from Lake Pack, especially Ian would find us.But my option was limited. I couldn't possibly go to other packs. Who was I? I wasn't part of their packs. Also, they would recognize me as Luna
ZURINI was talking with another Alpha on the phone inside my office and discussing his visit next week when my father, Eric, the former Alpha of this pack, stormed in and spoke to me. He looked displeased."I don't understand why you refused to meet Kania." After the call ended, he began talking.I
CARLAHe had the brightest eyes I had ever seen. I could just stand still, feasting my sight of him all day.Only if he didn't emit an Alpha aura.And because of that, I knew I shouldn't do this.Therefore, I lowered my head, cutting the connection between us, and resumed proceeding to the door. But
ZURINI was in a rage when I saw bruises on Carla's face. Although it wasn't clear—Carla probably covered them—I knew the red-purple on her beautifulness was wound.Someone must have hit her.However, I tried to remain calm despite my wolf, Black, being ready to claw whoever hurt our mate."I'll ask
"Are you going to send me and my daughter to prison?""No!" I snapped and felt Black want to come out and show his anger. "Of course not. You're not going to prison." I gritted.Carla only blinked and slightly tilted her head. "Then where will you send us?""Here. In the pack house. You can use one
CARLA“Hi, can I get some milk?” I asked the only omega in the kitchen when I visited it to search for milk for Cherry. It was bedtime, and milk before sleep would help her get good sleep.“It’s in the fridge.” She pointed to the fridge without taking her gaze off her work. Her tone was flat, but I
"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
