Alpha Ryder Winterfield quickly stood up from the couch with a smirk on his face, as though they were about to continue an unfinished fight with Alpha Austin Radford.He didn't say a word to Alpha Austin, whose hands were tucked behind him as he walked up to his throne.The Alpha king of the Blood Stone Pack took his place and sat down on the fitted throne with his crown on.Without exchanging greetings, alpha Austin Radford asked, “My brother, why are you here in the middle of the night? Isn't it too late to visit someone by this time? Apart from that, moving around at midnight is dangerous. Oh… pardon me, I forgot your capabilities. No man can attack you and go freely. So, what do you want?”Ignoring his words, which were as if he were mocking him, Alpha Ryder went ahead and responded, “My wife is very sick, and I need your help.”The king alpha was silent for a few minutes as he gazed at alpha Ryder, wondering which type of help he was seeking.He rested his arms on the throne armre
Alpha Ryder Winterfield saw it coming, but he wasn't truly convinced that it would come in a written form.Alpha Ryder stiffened as he fixed his eyes on the brown envelope in Gabriella's hand, wondering what was written inside there.However, he was praying that Gabriella wouldn't ask him to divorce Alvina and marry her because it wouldn't work out.Sticking to Ruthie's promise about getting the life-saving staff of Alpha Ryder, Gabriella went ahead and typed down all the necessary things she would want Alpha Ryder to do before she could hand his staff over to him.Alpha Ryder pondered for a few minutes as the atmosphere changed over time, leaving everyone with anticipation to know what was written inside the paper.“Your Majesty, I will advise that you take the envelope, open the content, and go through it. Let's hear what she wants. It might not be what you are thinking about,” one of the elders advised him.He nodded and swallowed hard before he outstretched his hand and received th
A pen was brought to him as soon as possible. Alpha Ryder prefers taking the risk to save Alvina's life, rather than watching her die when he could do something.However, he sensed that one fateful day, Gabriella would leave his pack. Although he wasn't convinced that it would happen after signing the contract, the feeling was there.Just as he was given the pen, he went ahead and signed the provided space for him to sign.Nonetheless, Gabriella had already signed her designated places. It was remaining alpha Ryder to also sign.“Done!” said Alpha Ryder and handed the paper back to Gabriella.She took it with a wide smile displayed on her face. At that moment, she was able to summon the courage and looked at Alpha Ryder on the face.Gabriella widely opened the paper, raised it to everyone's face and said, “You all are my witnesses. Even if this paper is missing today, I have a witness. And none of you should dare to attempt to rise against me in the future because that person will reg
“She's awake,” the 12-year-old girl exclaimed happily and quickly let go of Gabriella's hand.Joy filled the atmosphere after Alvina finally woke up.“My queen,” Alpha Ryder Winterfield called as he pushed Gabriella away and hastily stooped low to Alvina's level.He took her hand and cared for it with a calm expression.On the other hand, Gabriella quickly received her back from Delta Johnson. With fear, she unzipped her purse and checked if the contract paper was still there.She sighed in relief after discovering that everything that was inside the purse earlier was intact.Alvina laid on the bed and slowly opened her eyes, her head irking with pain. Her vision was blurry, and it took her a moment to adjust to the light above her.She could see blurry images standing beside her, but she couldn't tell who they were. As Alvina's eyes began to focus, she realized that her husband was the one squatting beside her, while the elders of the pack and some strange faces were standing a few
The alpha king and Gabriella were dumbfounded as they gazed at Alvina who was frowning at them while clenching her fist.“Why should you do this to me, Your Majesty? Didn't you promise to keep me alone as your Luna? How come you signed a contract with Gabriella to marry her?” she scolded him as tears began to flow down her cheeks.Upon seeing that, Alpha Ryder stood up and sighed. He couldn't tell how Alvina found out that he already signed a contract with Gabriella, but whatever she used to find out the truth wasn't his concern currently.Alpha Ryder stood with his hands akimbo and lowered his gaze to the ground to avoid eye contact with Alvina. Because seeing Alvina in tears hurt him.On the contrary, Gabriella was still finding it unsettled about how Alvina found out everything even when they hid the truth from her.‘But how did she find out about this? Was this the hidden powers my Mom told me Alvina has?’ she thought inwardly with a calm expression.“How I find out isn't your conc
Now, after the full blue moonlight celebration was over, everyone went back to their house to rest.Gabriella was given her chamber by Alpha Ryder as his second Luna.That morning, Gabriella called Aleena, the head maid of the black soul pack, so they could discuss something crucial.However, since Gabriella arrived, she hadn't seen Ruthie, yet she wasn't bothered much about that because she was convinced that they must surely meet as long as she was in the pack.“Greetings to you, My queen,” Aleena bowed to Gabriella as she greeted her.Gabriella was sitting on the bed as she operated her phone. She was still on the bed when everyone was already out there for one business or the other.Unfortunately, her parents weren't aware that she was already married to Alpha Ryder because she didn't send a message to them.Nonetheless, she knew that Alpha Ryder would pay her dowries in due time. It wasn't something she wanted to rush.“Yeah, how are you?” Gabriella responded with a nice voice as
All the maids lined up in Gabriella's chamber with fear written all over their faces like a military squad who were going to a battleground.“Where are you all going?” One of the guards who was unsettled about this inquired as he stopped them from moving, thinking that they were up to something evil.“Don't think negatively, please. The new Luna requested me to summon all the maids in her chamber. So… That's where we are heading to.” Aleena, who was leading the squad, responded to him.“Why does she want to see all of you at once? Isn't she aware that the Alpha king or his first Luna might demand your presence?" The young man frowned.“Well, I couldn't argue with her because we are all under her. Nonetheless, I don't think we would take much time there. You have nothing to worry about. We would handle everything. She only needs a handmaid for herself, that's why she wants to see us all.” Aleena explained.“Isn't that supposed to be your duty? I mean, aren't you the one to assign a dut
Everyone left Gabriella's chamber with happiness, except for Ruthie, who was chosen by Gabriella as her handmaid.Nonetheless, the colleagues sympathized with her, knowing that working for Gabriella won't be an easy thing to do. However, they also felt that since Gabriella and Ruthie already knew each other, Ruthie might not find it difficult to work with her, though.As all the maids headed to their working position, Aleena stopped Ruthie. “Ruthie, I need to talk to you, please. It's urgent,” Aleena announced with a serious expression.Without saying a word, Ruthie nodded and followed Aleena to her room. Unfortunately, Ruthie sensed that Aleena was curious to know how she and Luna Gabriella knew each other when she told them she and her family were chased out of their pack.Aleena opened her entrance and Ruthie stepped in. With haste, Aleena slammed the door after she entered the room.She stood in front of Ruthie, who stood with shaky hands, contemplating whether she should escape f
