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
Upon seeing how serious Aleena was, Ruthie wiped away the tears on her cheeks and sniffed.“Alright then, since you don't want to believe me, I will follow you to the king's chamber and defend myself. I believe that he will listen to me,” said Ruthie as she stood up from the ground.Without saying a word, Aleena strode out of the room and Ruthie followed her as she tried hard to maintain a calm face so that no one would suspect anything.The two maids went to the king's throne room, but he wasn't there. They checked the necessary places they believed they would find him, but they didn't see him.At last, they went to Alvina's chamber if they could see the alpha king there. As they thought, that's what they saw. The Alpha king was with his fated mate in her chamber as they discussed something.However, Aleena found it the best place to report such a case so that Luna Alvina could also have a say in it.Aleena gently knocked at the entrance, waiting for a response. Just after she took h

“No, Your Majesty. Don't do this to me, please…” Gabriella pleaded.“Please, Your Majesty. Forgive me. I don't know what I was doing. It was an assignment given to me by my late mom. That's why I couldn't tell if what I was doing was good or bad. Nobody will take care of my grandma if something bad happens to me.” Winnie also cried out as she fell to her knees and began to weep.“Forgive me too because I have made up my mind to punish you both because you have no good reason why you did all you did to my family. However, I eliminated my family members when I was a kid not because I wanted to, but because Winnie's mom used me to murder my family members. As if that weren't enough, her daughter is also trying to kill everyone. That alone is enough to punish her.” Alpha Ryder explained.After so much pleading, they got tired because Alpha Ryder wasn't ready to listen to them.At last, he commanded. “ Beta Hudson, throw Winnie into the cell, where she will spend days and nights without fo
It was as if Gabriella knew about this day, that's why she bribed Dr. Elvin a long time before now so that he could lie.Gabriella was always ready for anything that came against her. Who could have thought that she already had agreement papers that stated that Alvina would get kicked out of the Black Soul pack if the DNA test turned positive in favor of the Alpha King?Without thinking twice, Gabriella ran to a box well-kept in her walk-in closet. She opened the box and brought out a paper that had a few write-ups on it.“Here it is,” she extended the paper and a pen to Alvina,“ sign here and His Majesty will also sign here. That's all.”“No, I'm not signing anything, Gabriella…” Alpha Ryder wanted to refuse because he wasn't convinced that they would win the case, but Alvina cut into his words.“We would sign it, Your Majesty,” said Alvina as she lightly placed her palms against his chest and smiled at him.Alpha Ryder didn't say anything, rather, he nodded his head and sighed, conv
“Your Majesty, are you trying to accuse me about what I don't know, huh? What made you think I would do such a thing? Am I a kid?” Julian spoke with a hoarse voice, causing Alvina to feel guilty for accusing him.Nonetheless, she was ready to find out the truth about the newborn baby to be convinced that it was only a dream, not a revelation.“You know what, we need a DNA test for this, Julian. We need to find out who is truly the father of this newly born baby. You all should follow me to Gabriella's chamber,” Alvina announced without seeking anyone's permission.Immediately she said that, she began moving towards the door.Julian couldn't argue, as he could see how serious Alvina was about the whole thing. He never wanted them to find out about it, but here he was at the edge to be found as the man who impregnated Gabriella rather than her husband.Julian looked at Alpha Ryder with a sad face and his hands akimbo. “You heard what she said. Let's go, Julian,” said Alpha Ryder as he
It was a month since Gabriella gave birth to her son. In the past month, Gabriella tried everything possible to make Alvina feel unsettled in the palace.Gabriella had been mocking Alvina since then, thinking that Alvina might get tired of her and seek divorce from the alpha king since she had no child, nor was she pregnant.Even when she kept doing that, Alvina ignored her, knowing fully that Julian told them that such a thing would happen once they carried out their plan.However, after Gabriella had given birth, Alvina had been having strange dreams that she couldn't explain what they meant.Everything seemed confusing and unacceptable to her.“I need to talk to you, Your Majesty,” said Alvin to the alpha king, who was sitting on his throne with his life-saving staff in his right hand.Alpha Ryder stared at Alvina with skeptical brows for a few minutes. At last, he nodded and signaled the guards who were standing beside him to leave, so he could discuss it with his wife.“As you wi
“Thanks for the information. Please inform them that I will be there soon,” Jake responded to Beta Alfredo.“Okay, Your Highness. I will do just that,” Beta Alfredo bowed once more before he turned around and left Jake's chamber.Jake peacefully looked at his Mom and said to her, “You don't have to bother about Gabriella, Mom. I'm always here for you, regardless of what.”“Thank you, Jake,” Eleanor muttered as she hugged her son.Within minutes, they were out of Jake's chamber to the playground, where everyone was waiting for the new alpha king to be crowned.Immediately, Jake and his Mom stepped into the playground, one of the elders quickly stood up and announced their arrival.“Here comes the future Alpha king. Let's all bow to him,” the old man announced, and everyone obeyed.They all bowed and welcomed Jake and his mother. However, some pack members were murmuring, but Jake didn't notice it.After welcoming them, they sat at their usual places and the Alpha king's seat that was p
Now, it was another day for the celebration of the full blue moonlight celebration, and Jake Radford was ready to be crowned as the new alpha king of the Blood Stone pack.The entire werewolves of the Blood Stone pack were in the playground, celebrating under the blue moonlight, as they always do.As usual, new werewolves were learning to shift for the first time as they were guided by some elders of the Blood Stone pack.On the contrary, the remaining elders of the pack were in the throne room, getting ready to crown the young Alpha king as planned.The young man could be spotted standing in his royal mantle inside his chamber, ready to be called upon by the elders.“Bro, I can't believe that is becoming true. To be honest, I never saw this coming. Anyway, congratulations once more,” Jake's friend Riley confessed as he shook hands with Jake.“Thanks, man. I never knew that my dreams would turn into reality so soon,” Jake Radford responded to his friend with a wide smile displayed on
After discussing which maid to assign, Alvina apologized to Julian.“Forgive us for doubting you, Julian. You shouldn't blame us for this because it isn't easy that you will see your children lying dead, and you won't feel hurt even though you know about it.” Alvina spoke with a calm expression as she stood a few inches away from Julian.Julian rolled his eyes and took his face away from her direction as he folded his arms above his chest.He pretended as though he weren't going to forgive them, yet he understood what Alvina was talking about and the pain she felt at that moment.“Come on, you should understand what she's talking about, Julian. All we ask is to forgive us, and we promise that such a thing won't happen again.” Alpha Ryder pleaded with Julian, who was yet to say something.At last, he responded and said to them, “Well, who am I not to forgive you when we're all humans who make mistakes? So… I have forgiven you, but such a thing shouldn't happen again, please.”“I promis
“Ohh… so, you have no idea about what you did wrong to my family, huh?” Alpha Ryder grimaced at him.Upon noticing that Alpha Ryder was outraged, Julian shivered, thinking that he wanted to harm him for doing nothing wrong.“Look!” Alpha Ryder called for Julian's attention and pointed at the triplets, who were lying dead on the bed. “ Are you happy now that they're dead, huh?”Julian stared at the lifeless kids for a minute before he finally responded to Alpha Ryder.“What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Didn't we discuss this yesterday? Wait, was that why Her Majesty wanted to attack me? Why are you both talking as though we didn't discuss this?” Julian fearlessly fired back at the Alpha king.“Is that what you're saying, huh? You never told me that they will become lifeless for a long time like this. This is five hours now since I discovered that my kids are dead, yet you don't want me to be bothered, huh? Do you know the pain I went through just to bring them into this world?
