Margareth POV While inhaling and holding up the tears, I stared at him sternly. Without any words uttered, I walked to the door and got out from the room. It was not because I was scared of Xavier's threat. It was not also about stepping back from the mess. Actually, I only needed a space to think cearly since I was awfully disrespected by the people I cared the most. Then, while I reached my private room, Emma opened the mental connection and uttered, "Your mother-in-law is truly an ice-cold. I could literally see who she really is, Margie." I sighed and responded, "It was because of Xavier, Em. Previously, she was nice and warm to me." "It was the time when you were a newlywed with the sh*tty Alpha Xavier. However, all you need to do is escaping with Bastian. He is willing to help you," Emma suggested impulsively. I sat on the corn
Margareth POV By the minutes and seconds passing, another day greets my sight with cloudy sky. At this time, I stared at the window as the curtain was opened. Following with that, my feet was stepping out from the room since I planned to give hands to the maids in the kitchen. Moreover, while I passed Xavier's room, the noise of giggles and laughters stopped my steps. It was clear enough that Xavier was having fun with Selena just like a newlywed couple with the love fluorishing in their hearts. The situation I realized was totally different from mine, whenever I got the status as his wife legally. The difference I meant here was not like he treated me coldly or improperly, but I noticed that his smile didn't really describe happiness. The past memory appeared clearly in my mind as if my logic showed me the difference between Xavier's reaction to me and when he was with someone else.
Margareth POV With his dark brown suit and purple tie, Bastian stared at Xavier madly. "You really test my patience, and I have proven it, dude! I had told you to return her to my mansion, but you are just deaf as an adder." He uttered as his eyes were darted on my sudden existence. Then, I walked as I stood between Xavier and Bastian with frowning forehead, trying to take a preventive action if these guys would fight in the wolves form. "Why are you so eager to take my Luna, huh?" Xavier inquired as he stroke a mocking smile. "Because you don't deserve her! In fact, you have got a mistress, and she will be wasted with the affair you have done!" Bastian told the truth. Rising his eyebrows confidently, Xavier replied, "Still, it is none of your business. I have rights to forbid her not to go with you." Bastian with the rage in his face clenched his fist. I could really see that his muscles contrac
Bastian POV When I was talking to Margie, I was surprised once my old friend, Harper appeared. Her tall and sexy figure was recognizable, especially while the light blue sexy casual dress enveloped her body. Nevertheless, her initiative to hug me successfully made myself speechless. Ar that point, I noticed that Margie darted her eyes with the curiosities in her gaze. Afterwards, I quickly released the hug and said, "Harper, can you please wait downstairs?" "Why should I wait? you are here, so we can still talk." Harper nagged as she combed her wavy hair with her fingers gently. "I still have a guest right now. Don't you see? She looks tired after a quite long journey," I declared as she started staring at Margie reluctantly. Following with her reluctant glance, she uttered, "Don't tell me that this woman is your girlfriend-soon-to be." Realizing the meaning of the w
Meanwhile, at Brown Iris Castle, the feeling of hatred and insecurities lingered in Xavier's heart and mind. He kept walking around his working room, passing Selena sitting on the sofa with the stern expression. The coward Alpha being not able to organize the pack was literally worried if his Luna would never come back after he dealt with the bet proposed by Bastian. "D*mmit! I must not accept the bet if it involves Margie and her feelings. Now, I'm in hot water! It's also beyond my expectation. At the initial state, I just want to have fun with Selena, but it should not continue like this!" He pondered as he squeezed his spiky hair angrily. At that time, Selena stared at him and snapped, "Stop walking nonsensely like that! It will not solve the problems." Xavier then stopped walking around, and he exclaimed, "We are done, Selena! luck is not on our side!" Selena stared at him astonishingly and placated, "
Margareth POV "Margie, where are you going?" The bass voice bothered my attention as I stood on the yard, waiting for Jessie to pick me up. "I'll be going with a bestie in the coffee shop, Bas." I uttered the truth as I looked at his calm expression and the semi-formal outfit, an orange long-sleeved shirt with black pants. Right on the band of the pants, the belt with hermes logo was pasted on it. Those attires really exudes his alluring charm and friendly personality. "Wait, let me call the driver to take you there," He said while starting to pick up the cellphone from one of his pockets. Nonetheless, before he called his driver, I cut in, "No need, Bas. My friend will soon be here. She has promised to pick me up since a few
Bastian POV "After you fight them back, please investigate them further, Carter," I requested as my right hand fixed the earphone plugging on my right ears. "I'll figure their motives. It's on me, Bro. She will be safe." Carter's barritone swayed in my hearing sense. I then nodded, trying to hold on the words uttered by one of my trusted friends. Once I had finished reminding him about the danger lingering around Margie, I disconnected the call immediately. Maybe, I was being nosy for interfering Margie's personal life. However, it was not about bothering somebody's life too far, but this was more about how I showed my commitment to the Moon Goddess. Once, I ever prayed to her, about letting me meet my mate, around a year ago. In my prayer, I also mentioned that I would really maintain her life and safety, no matter how hard the condition was. There it was. Wh
Margareth POV The shocking appearance of Carter Clancys was completely unexpected. The Alpha I used to see on the television advertisement and news was lively standing in front of me. With his taut muscles attached on his tall body, he fought effortlessly. Even, when he had knocked down two thugs in a few minutes, he still could block the attack done by the last man attacking from the back. "GRAPP!" the sound of the bones cracking was discerned as Carter grabbed the man's hands roughly, raised them to the top, and asked, "Tell me, who ask you to mess up with those girls??" The man smirked as endured the swells on his arms and hands. "Why should I tell you?? it's none of your business!!" The last thug uttered rudely. Through his secretive gaze, it seemed that somebody had paid him and his friends to cause a harm on me and Jessie. "But still you agree to harm these girls with your two friends. I'll release you and them if you tell me the p
Xavier POV "CLING!" The little noise of the padlock hitting the steel bars of the cell was apprehended. Then, I put the key in my pocket and sneered at Margie, "Enjoy yourself behind this luxurious cage. I'll release you when you change your mind and decide to return to me and this pack." She stared at me flatly and responded sarcastically, "Thank you for letting me stay here. No matter how long I will be alive, I choose to die instead of returning to you and fall into your love trap. That's the silliest thing I really regret and do!" Feeling the fury of anger heating my heart, I could only inhale gradually. I tried to manage myself to her mind game. I understood why she did the sarcasm. She was so eager to rise my blood pressure. Whenever I really got mad, she would be happier, feeling that she had knocked me down mentally. After staring at her for a moment, I decided
Bastian POV With the deal we made, we all agreed not to use our off-roaders to trespass the area we were running on. Based on our own efforts, we all, in our wolf forms, ran and followed the guidance of the monkey leader. The noise of our feet swinging accompanied our journey to the witch's place. Even, the slides of the fallen leaves were clearly heard while I ran along with Carter and Dave. They were also in their wolf forms. However, I felt a bit distinct although I was also in my wolf form. The reason was I was in a maroon hoodie as I ran and passed the area, while Dave and Carter let their wolves naked and show the divine abs. They looked more like the natural shifters than me. I was like a pet with a fancy piece of clothes. For some moments onwards, the monkey leader stopped in front of the tree-style castle and said, "We've arrived." "Is this the place?!" Dave running after me and Carter reached as he inquired to the monkey. "Yes, it is. It is finished to show y
On another circumstance, Margie was sitting on the garden bench. She let the sunlight kissed her fairy skin although her cheeks were red like tomatoes. Yet, it did not distract her attention because her hatred feeling to Xavier was bigger. There were a few causes of why she pursed her lips with her sharp stares. However, among the troubles, she felt so done with him, the only beef she was resentful of was how Xavier treated him. The ex-husband whom she ever loved acted as if he was genuine and sincere to get back together. Besides that, what really annoyed her was his sudden announcement about Luna Margareth's return. "D*mmit! He gets more disgusting day by day! He should never make a silly announcement about me. The strong reason is I'll never get back to him. No matter how good he treats me, I won't return to his embrace. He doesn't deserve the second chance!" Margie spoke in her mind. At that ti
Bastian POV When the sky was still dark and the time in my watch was around 02.10AM, we arrived at the Silver Fur Pack Palace. With the travel bags I pulled and the backpack hanging on my shoulders, I got off from the jeep car and followed Dave and Carter to enter the luxurious palace. It was as big as my mansion, but the inner view inside of the building was actually small. It was not really spacious either due to the placement of the certain furnitures and antiques. Carter loved collecting antique vases and renaissance pictures. "Matt!" Carter shouted as his orbs explored the first floor, trying to find the owner of the name. I knew who he meant by because I ever stayed in the palace twice. If this moment was included, it was considered as the third time. In less than few seconds, the man with a hundred and seventy centimeters appeared in the formal white shirt and black pants. "What's the matter, Alpha Carter?" He inquired carefully. It seemed that he was so obedient wit
The next two days, on Saturday in October, Bastian in his wolf form was picked up by Carter and Dave. The three Alphas decided to find Margie together with the help of Marina, the witch staying in the middle of Archipellago forest. With the dark blue Jeep Wrangler, they were on their way which took around two and a half hours to reach the destination. During that time, the Alphas exchanged the story and words. At first, it was done by Carter and Dave for casting the uneasiness feelings in Bastian's heart. However, as the minutes passed, Bastian joined the conversation. He did it because of the reminder of Doctor Carson to always maintain his stress level in the stable state. If he didn't do it, he might overthink each tragedy or hard situation, and he would not be able to shift into the human form. In the middle of discussion, Carter suddenly changed the topic by asking Dave, "Anyway, how is your little sister? Is she still hopeless romantic?" "Not anymore. She finally deci
Margareth POV "Are you challenging me, my ex-wife?" the male figure with his undercut hairstyle inquired as his orbs observed the details of my face carefully. To be frank, his stares were my favorite thing about him, especially when our mate bonds were still intact. I always made an eye contact with him whenever he teased me. It was lovely and cute before I witnessed his adultery by my own orbs. In contrast, his stares for me this time felt insincere. What I found mostly through his brown orbs were ego and lusts. Then, I rolled my eyes and replied, "Let's consider it as yes. I challenge you, so that you could not mess up with me anymore." In a split second, his widened gentle smile changed into the mean one, the sign that there was an ulterior motive of him for kidnapping me. "It seems that you are braver than I ever know. Does the royal Alpha teach you to be a badass she-wolf?" He sneered. I then smirked, squinted my eyes, and replied, "No. I'm actually fearless, but I h
Beta Asthon POV In an hour forward, after Gamma Cole helped me to move the Alpha in his room, I dialed Doctor Carson directly. Through the speaker, the waiting tones greeted me, expecting me to wait although I knew there would be a chance for the important figure not to answer the call. "Come on! Just answer the call, Doc!" I muttered as I looked at the Alpha being fastened on the bed like a patient with mental illness. While Gamma Cole decided to prepare the mini medical drawers, the place which was used by the Alpha for placing the pills and other ointments. Then, in a split second, the call was connected. "Good Day. How can I help you?" Doctor Carson opened the conversation. "Doc, this is me Beta Ashton of Red Iris Pack. My Alpha has shifted into the wolf form. Can you please come over for the medical check-up?" I mentioned the summary while expecting the doctor's positive a
Margareth POV Reacting to my question with a crafty smile, his phone buzzing distracted his attention. "Wait for a moment." He uttered while answering the call with the ear buds plugged on his ears. "Yeah, Sellie? Have you arrived?" He uttered casually while driving and passing the rows of vehicle in the street. "Yes, babe. I just arrive. Now, Nathan is practising on how to float." The she-wolf voice was heard a bit from the phone speaker. I was not eavesdropping, but that was how I apprehended the sound. "Have fun with him and always put your eyes on." He reminded her. It was like he wanted to make me jealous for being attentive to her. Yet, it did not work on me because my feelings to him had died long time ago. In less than five minutes, the call was ended. Then, his tenor v
Xavier POV "Selena, where will you go?? You cannot bring Nathan outside too much, remember?" I followed her as I waited for her answer. My brown orbs also noticed that she carried Nathan in her arms. Selena stopped and answered, "I'm sorry if I just tell you this news. Our pup has been registered to the swimming lesson since I want him to be healthier." I squinted and thought that it was such a useless thing to do. In addition, as a werewolf, we barely fought in the water. That was true we had our human physical bodies, but her excuse was weird, or it was just my instinct. "Isn't it too early for him? he is just a month old pup." I tried to negotiate with her. At the same time, I observed her expressions in detail, trying to find out the lies she tried to hide. "No, of course not. The coach says that it is a healthy way, so
