"Luna." Ken helped me down from the rock and gently slapped me on the cheek twice. His expression was terrified. My heart began to beat usually again after the burning sensation of being burned by fire faded. I looked at Ken, who gripped my arm tightly. I winced in pain and asked him to let go of my hand. Ken apologized and asked what had happened. I can hear his voice now. I looked up at the moon, which was still brightly shining. Is my body on fire as a result of the full moon's rays? I hold my chest. I don't feel the presence of my wolf; what happened to my body a few minutes ago? "Luna?" Ken's voice surprised me. I turned to face him, who was staring at me with questioning eyes. "I don't know." I shook my head and examined my body; my clothes were not on fire, indicating that the fire was within me. "What happened to you? Did you feel anything?" Ken studied me like he was searching for something in me. "I have the sensation that I am on fire. It's scorching." I wrap my arm
Ken's POVThere were no problems in the pack finding a solution. Even I would like to say that what I did in the Gray Stone Pack was a waste of my time. I pretended to be a rogue, but I got bad treatment, and I became their slave. But I can't regret it because if I didn't pretend to be a rogue to investigate the Gray Stone Pack, I wouldn't have met Nora. I and her are different. The Moon Goddess led me to find her. I'm drinking alcohol that won't make me drunk, and I'll never let myself get drunk. I am an Alpha in charge of thousands of pack members. They require my presence. The warriors I assigned to spy on the several packs I suspected were the culprits, and the warriors guarding the inn consistently reported the information they found to Levi. Then Levi relayed it to me after he gathered all the information. "The warriors who observed the White Stone Pack said it was difficult to find information about the bombed storage warehouse. The pack members don't remember it." Levi sp
"What are you doing here? How did you get in here? Who let you in?" Nora doesn't want to look at me; she covers her face with her tiny hands. I looked around. Why is Nora in the pool? I'm sure I locked the door. I couldn't have forgotten. If we could smell mate or hear voices in the water, I wouldn't be surprised to see Nora sitting on the couch. Nora didn't answer my question; she was busy covering her face. I don't mind if she sees my body. I know when we work out, she often glances at my stomach. I always wear a T-shirt when I work out. When I buy the shirt, it looks big, but when I wear it, it shapes my body. I don't know whose fault it was; my stomach or that t-shirt. I asked Nora to answer, and she said she had just hung out the laundry and had come to the pool to rest. She could enter because this room was unlocked. I frowned. I couldn't have forgotten to lock the pool. I came alone. Okay. I'm not going to prolong this problem; maybe I did forget to lock it. When I ask
Nora's POVI can finally see the sunrise. The dark sky gradually lightened. The scenery is breathtaking, and I'm grateful to be one of the witnesses to the sun taking over the moon's work. But my awe of the rising sun changed like the speed of light. Negative thoughts and fears that had previously vanished took over my mind and heart. For the past two days, I haven't been able to sleep well after hearing my dad order warriors to look for me. My dad is looking for me not because he lost me, who is his first child, but because he needs my blood to be given to the child he loves the most, Nicky. Ken's right. It seems my dad doesn't know that Nicky has recovered yet. If my dad knew Nicky had recovered, my dad wouldn't be looking for me because I was no longer useful. My father was not involved in the plotting of my assassination. That is, it was Nicky's wish to eliminate me from this world until she ordered her subordinate to do so. She despises me a lot. I never protested or got an
I just thanked Ken for how long I've lived here. Ken should be mad at me because someone he saved walked away from him and didn't say thank you. Ken wasn't angry, he said things that made my heart melt and blushed. He will not let me die. But, after thoughtful thought, I shouldn't need to feel anything. He'll save me because I'm his mate. I glanced at our empty plates. I don't believe him yet. I discovered numerous irregularities and have yet to find an answer. I will not accept Ken as my mate until I truly believe in him. "May I ask?" I'll use the remaining time to interrogate Ken and maybe discuss things. Ken shifted his body to face me and he could freely look at me. I forgot that Ken asked me to look into his eyes while we were talking. I'm not sure I can do it, I should have asked him to soften his gaze, but I dared not say such a thing. "What do you want to ask about? Is it about me?" Ken tilted his lips. His face looks even more annoying. He is very confident. A lot of peo
I learned to ride a bicycle. I can ride a bicycle, but I can't keep my body balanced because I haven't ridden a two-wheeled vehicle in a long time. I nearly fell twice. I didn't count how long I stayed at Ken's house. In a pack where Lycans live. I honestly don't know if all of Ken's pack members are Lycans. This morning after running, Ken asked me to ride my bicycle to go around the pack just once. Several times I almost fell and Ken didn't let my forehead bleed because it stuck to the asphalt. Ken patiently taught me until I could ride a bicycle without dropping myself on the asphalt. I'm used to running and swimming. But when I cycled around the pack, my legs buckled and my buttocks hurt. I just realized that riding a bicycle is also tiring and draining. But oddly enough, if I had to choose, riding a bicycle is more fun than running. The reason is simple and ridiculous because riding a bike is faster back home. Someday I'll take Ken to a race. I looked at my bike, which was s
Megan pulled my hand, and I ran in her quick footsteps. We had to get past the crowded people to save ourselves. Everyone was panicking and scared; no one could think positively and act positively in a situation like this. My heart is racing very fast. I forced my legs to keep moving. I can't be weak and faint. I'm just going to bother Megan. It's so loud I can't really hear what people are saying. I can only hear them screaming and crying. "Don't push each other. Stay calm. You don't need to worry. Alpha, Beta, general, and warriors will drive them out of here and never let them infiltrate." The warriors asked us to calm down so that no victims would be trampled, and they guided us to a safe place and away from the battlefield area, but still, we were all scared. I had no idea where Megan was taking me. I give up. I couldn't think in a state of panic and shock. What I was afraid of has happened. Pack Ken is attacked. The rice field area is quite far from the gate. I hope Ken, B
Ken's POVI can't wait. I don't know who to blame and who to accept my anger. The warriors I'd dispatched to spy on the packs hadn't given me the news I'd hoped for. They have difficulty finding and digging for information. I've shown my face to the public and let Alpha Jerry give my cell phone number to Alpha, who wants to meet me. I get letters instead of calls or messages. They left a letter for me in Wesley's pack. All the werewolf clans knew that I was friends with the Wesley pack, but they didn't dare ask to Blue Stone Pack about the whereabouts of my pack. Wesley is my sister's mate, and he's not Alpha; he's Alpha Charlie's second child. Wesley's parents were my parents' best friends. Three Alphas invited me. I had to come to fulfill their invitation. Not because I appreciate those who have bravely asked me to the welcoming ceremony of future Alpha, the ceremony of an Alpha happy to have met his mate, and the tea party by the tea garden. The reason I came also wasn't becau
Nora's POVI never imagined becoming Alpha one day. The heir that was supposed to be mine has returned to me. I'm now the Gray Stone Pack's Alpha. I'm both happy and worried because being an Alpha is not easy. I am the leader of my pack, which consists of thousands of people. Even though I didn't protest when I was removed from the list of heirs, and I was never interested in pack matters, I secretly studied how Alpha Luciano led the pack, how he could make his pack members like him and keep the pack peaceful. I used to want to be Luna, like my mother, who was loved by everyone. Now I want to be the Alpha who can be in charge of the pack and ensure the welfare of the pack members. Besides watching and imitating Alpha Luciano, I also learned from Ken. Ken managed to build a new civilization with his pack members, and Ken became a leader who was loved and supported by his pack members. They are satisfied and happy to have an Alpha like Ken. I don't care what other people say and thi
Ken's POVI didn't expect Alpha Luciano to meet Nora. At first, Nora didn't want to see him, I gave her time to think, and she decided to listen to Luciano. Nora didn't want me to leave her; she forced herself to meet Luciano. Even though Nora threatened Nicky and Rosalina that she would tell everyone about what they did to her, deep down, I couldn't believe Nora would do it. Nora had many considerations before doing so. Like I hesitated because I wasn't sure Luciano would punish them. That night Luciano tells Nora that he already knows everything, and he apologizes to Nora. He hadn't told anyone yet; he would do as Nora ordered. Luciano hadn't punished them either because he wanted Nora to do it. I admit Alpha Luciano is wise. But, if I were in Luciano's shoes, I would tell everyone without first asking Nora. I did this to show Nora that I genuinely apologized and was truly sorry. But the most surprising words spoken by Luciano were that he asked Nora to become Alpha, and he prom
Ava's POV (Nora's wolf)Nora decided to go to the Gray Stone Pack after thinking about it for three days. I'm going to kill Nicky's wolf! I can't wait. My heart was pounding faster, and my adrenaline was surging. I train hard, and I will show them that I am strong! I believe I can definitely kill her. I'll do whatever it takes to kill her. If I can't, I'll at least disable her wolf. It should be I kill or maim Nicky, not her wolf. Nicky has been cruel to Nora. Her wolf was powerless to stop it. Don't forget Rosalina. Even though Luciano said that Rosalina didn't know about Nicky sending her subordinates to kill Nora, so far, Rosalina had been mean to Nora. I'm sure she has poisoned Nicky's mind so that her daughter hates Nora so much. Nora and Nicky are siblings. Although they have different mothers, their fathers are the same until whenever Nora is Luciano's first child, even though Luciano has just acknowledged Nora now. Luciano did not consider Nora his first child because N
I'm still in the room; I'm lazy to meet him. Ken went to meet Alpha Luciano, which gave me time to think. Ken told me via mind link. Alpha Luciano stated that he had been hesitant to see me for the past few days because he didn't know how to go to this pack. He didn't own a ship, and no one had rented one to travel to this foreign island. Then he turned to Alpha Charlie for assistance. Ken asks Alpha Charlie about the truth of Alpha Luciano's story. Alpha Charlie confirmed; Alpha Luciano begged until he cried. He revealed everything he had done to Alpha Charlie. I looked up at the night sky, and only two stars were visible. Ken and Alpha Luciano didn't say anything because Luciano just wanted to talk to me, and Ken just accompanied him. I closed my eyes and let the wind hit my cheeks and blow my hair. I wonder what Luciano's goal is; I have a lot of bad thoughts. 'See him and listen to what he has to say; if you're not comfortable, you leave him. Even though you are too lazy to m
Nora's POVI am a Luna. I always felt anxious and worried that the pack members would not accept me because I was a werewolf. Ken and Ava convinced me I didn't have to think about that. I am increasingly attending and participating in various pack activities. I didn't seek their attention to be perceived as a Luna who cared about my pack; I did it all because I enjoyed it. 'Don't listen to what other people say. Isn't that the case, Ava?' My wolf always reminds me of these words. Ava snorted. 'Yeah, you already know that, so I don't need to remind you. I'm tired of you not believing in yourself and always looking down on yourself. Now all you have to do is be confident.' I grimaced. 'It's not easy for me.' 'Learn to love yourself. If you can do that, you will definitely be confident. I know it's easier for us to love others than ourselves.' I was astonished. My wolf is too wise. She's such a motivator. I don't know where she got this information because I don't recall watching m
Ken's POVDamn it. I can't stop swearing. I only left the pack for three days, and suddenly a pack of wolves attacked my pack. I believe in Beta, Gamma, generals, warrior chiefs, and warriors. They can defeat the wolves who bravely come to our pack. They should know that they have wrongly attacked us. About three weeks ago, a group of wolves came to attack my pack, and we almost killed them; some of them managed to escape without our knowledge. Some of them escaped without our knowledge. We're still trying to determine where they came from, and the entire werewolf pack knows the news. Nobody should dare to come here. Seven years ago, five werewolf packs attacked and destroyed three lycan packs. We didn't have enough strength to fight them at the time because they had attacked us a year before. That's why they were able to destroy the Lycan clan easily. I even once thought that the Moon Goddess was being unfair to the Lycan clan. Every day I pray, and the Moon Goddess never answers
"So it was Alpha Jerry and his warrior troop that attacked the pack?" Ken nods his head, and I go into shock. Even though I already know that Ken suspects Alpha Jerry, I don't believe they will attack the pack. Did Alpha Jerry plan this attack for a long time, or did he attack the pack on purpose when Ken was not present? He'd be foolish to think Ken wouldn't suspect him because Ken had already considered him a friend. I stared at the prison door, which was made of iron; I wondered if there was a rule that required the prison to be underground or if it was just Ken's pack and my pack making dungeons. I'm afraid this prison will collapse and be buried if there is an earthquake. I followed Ken down the stairwell where only one person could pass. The cold touched my skin, and the wall flashed a light to assist us in seeing the cement staircase. I shuddered in horror as the atmosphere became tense. This pack's prison is scarier than my pack's prison. There are numerous stairwells. I d
Nora's POVA few weeks ago, the pack was attacked by wolves, from which it is unknown where they came. The case is still unsolved regarding how they came and went from the pack. Today the Abyss Pack was attacked when Ken was not in the pack. I'm sure beta, gamma, generals, and warriors can take on the enemy. They are lycans who are stronger than werewolves, although not all warriors are lycans. So far, they have prepared themselves if one day they go to war. They undergo training every day, and today they will show the results of their training, show how strong they are, and make the enemy dare not come to the pack again. I can't wait to get to the pack. Ken was even annoyed because his wolf couldn't stand wanting to kill the enemy. Wesley and Lucy came with us. Ken allows them on the condition that they don't tell Alpha Charlie, Luna Ophelia, and Jeremy. Ken didn't want Alpha Charlie to send his warriors. We arrived on land and rushed out of the submarine. Ken ordered the five ge
Nicky's POVThe rogues that the warrior managed to catch said that the Alpha Lycan commanded them. I can't believe what I'm hearing. Alpha Lycan has no reason to attack this pack! Dad once assigned warriors to look for the whereabouts of the lycan pack, working with the Yellow Stone Pack. Only one time, after that, dad was not interested anymore. Our pack has never joined forces with other packs to exterminate the Lycan clan. But, unlike the Blue Stone Pack, we do not accept and befriend lycans. In these two years, we never went to war because dad has considered all Alphas as his friends. Many Alphas have asked dad to send warriors to destroy weak packs to seize their territory or fight with rogues, but dad refused. I turned my face away from the bodies that lay stiff with blood drying on their bodies. I don't want to have nightmares tonight. I hastened my steps towards Dean, who was talking with dad and the head of the warrior on the terrace of the warrior camp. When I arrived, t
