“Like father, like daughter.”In this single sentence spoken by Connor, a multitude of emotions and meanings were conveyed. It was not just an ordinary saying, but a release of all the hatred and vengeance he had carried for years, ever since Bethany's death.Connor had been tormented by that anger and suffering. Not a day went by that he wasn't consumed by grief, still unable to avenge Bethany's death. His pride was wounded. He felt ashamed that to this day he had not been able to bring peace to Bethany in her final rest.Days turned into weeks. Months turned into years. It had been a long time for Connor, waiting for the Frostholm Pack to fall. As his final promise, he would give Bethany a view of the Frostholm Pack's devastated territory, watching from above.To complete this revenge, Connor was determined to ensure the death of everyone connected with Ivan as a sacrifice for Bethany's life. He would kill Rowena and Vione.Unfortunately, all his promises had to be postponed once ag
“Moon Goddess. I have heard from Cora that Luna Vione is well, but she needs rest. So, I beg you, grant her a peaceful and serene rest. Please watch over her as she always watches over us.”“I thought I would die soon, but that hope came back with Luna Vione's return. She has been through so much. Please bless her.” There have been so many voices in Vione's mind lately. Especially after she had been reunited with Usher and the healing ritual had been completed. Exhausted, she had decided to rest, and from that moment everything began.It all came from the forest of Amerotha, and it was the voice of the pack that worried about her. They gathered there, gazing up at the night sky, sometimes at the morning sky, just to pray for her. All those prayers and hopes flowed like a never-ending melody, soothing Vione in her sleep.Vione remained in bed. Her rest was undisturbed, even though those voices managed to make her soul smile deep inside. Even her two wolf spirits curled up comfortably,
For Usher, Vione's welfare was above all else, inextricably bound up with the interests of the pack. He couldn't choose between the two, but for now he was forced to postpone his meeting with his trusted advisors because of the report from an Omega watching over Vione.Usher hurried off and met Scott on his way to the room. They went together, and the worry they felt vanished in an instant when they saw that Vione was awake.At least they were relieved that Vione seemed to be all right. After a quick but thorough examination, Scott was able to assure them that Vione showed no signs of illness. So, the only reason for Vione's expression of anger must be that something had happened. That was their conclusion.Vione looked at Usher. Can we talk alone?Alone? Usher's eyes narrowed slightly. Then he answered. Of course.Usher turned and ordered everyone to leave the room. Now it was just the two of them.“What do you want to talk about?” Usher asked bluntly a moment later. “Tell me.”Vione
"No, Luna. I don't know what you're talking about. I swear. Alpha, please. I didn't do what Luna is accusing me of."Mariah's denials came in waves as Garth and Berg arrived shortly after. She tried again and again to defend herself, claiming that Vione's accusations were completely unfounded and untrue. But it was all in vain as Vione remained firm in her conviction."Please," Mariah pleaded, her face drenched in tears. She looked at Usher with pleading eyes. "Believe me, Alpha. I didn't do anything."Usher paused, torn by the uncertainty that filled his mind. It had been so long ago, and even then, he hadn't been sure if someone had really been watching them from behind the bushes, as Vione had once claimed—the person Vione now believed to be Mariah."Berg," Usher didn't want to act rashly. He had to find out the truth, and to do that he had to make sure the situation remained under control. "Secure her."Berg nodded and ordered two guards to keep a close eye on Mariah. Mariah cried
Even over the phone, Greisy could feel Torin's anger. So, it wasn't surprising that it took extra courage for her to continue speaking.“The Bernathra magic that plagued the Frostholm Pack has been neutralised. Their ability to heal themselves has returned to normal. Worse, Rowena has helped Scott by making a potion that will speed up their recovery.”Greisy paused and waited. But there was no answer from Torin.“I'm sorry, Alpha. There's nothing I can do,” Greisy added quickly, trying to suppress her fear even though her voice was shaking. “Besides, I can confirm that the strength of the Frostholm Pack—”Greisy's words hung in the air as the call ended abruptly. She glanced quickly at the screen of her phone and saw that Torin had unilaterally ended the call.Closing her eyes, Greisy let out a deep breath. In her heart she thought. Alpha Torin must be furious about this situation.Unfortunately, there was nothing Greisy could do about it. She'd never imagined that the Frostholm Pack
Standing not far from Usher and Vione, Ayla, the Sacred Elder who was always present at every trial, could hardly believe that the defendants that night were Mariah and Greisy. She was shaken. While she didn't know Greisy personally, Mariah was another story. They were close—so close that Ayla needed time to calm herself and clear her mind.Ayla exhaled deeply. "I would never have thought that the woman who once cared for Alpha Usher with such tenderness could be someone so devoid of compassion."Mariah scoffed, then smiled. "I'm sorry, Ayla. I guess I've let you down."The pain was almost unbearable. For the first time in her life, Ayla felt the sting of betrayal. She couldn't stop the tears from welling up in her eyes."Oh! Would you like to know something interesting, Ayla?" Mariah asked without waiting for an answer. A second later she continued, "That war, when we came out of the secret passage and were captured by the warriors of the Nimbria Pack, it was all..."Ayla shook her h
"I love Alpha Usher Thorne."Vione Celestia Munest was frozen. She remained motionless and said nothing in response to the confession she had just heard. How should she react? Should she continue to expend energy, as she had done before, knowing that it would be in vain?Vione realized that Mireya Lark would not waver. Mireya would never leave, but neither would she."Why are you silent, Vione? Didn't you hear what I just said?"Vione blinked. Her shoulders shifted slightly as she took a breath. "What do you expect me to say? You don't expect me to congratulate you, do you?"This time Mireya remained silent. She stared at Vione with narrowed eyes, clasped her hands in front of her chest, then walked around Vione with a mocking expression."I don't need your congratulations. It's not important, but I think someone is coming to her senses."Vione closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and hoped in her heart that this disgusting conversation would end soon."Congratulations? Hmm. Doesn'
Vione must have heard wrong. Maybe Usher had misspoken. After all, how could an Alpha threaten his own Luna in front of his mistress?It was not embarrassing, but it was heartbreaking. Even Mireya's slap could not compare to the reality that had just hit her.True. In Usher's eyes there was only Mireya. Vione never meant anything. Just as people had said, she was just a worthless werewolf. She was an invaluable Luna.Vione's vision was blurred by the tears. In the midst of her efforts to regulate her breathing, she saw Usher leave her to embrace Mireya again.They looked harmonious. Both handsome and beautiful. They were like gods and goddesses who should be together."Usher, aren't you doing a little too much? Look at Vione. She seems to be in real pain."Usher turned and looked at Vione with a snarl. His look was mocking and highly contemptuous."I thought it was the other way around. The punishment is not enough for what she did to you."Vione tried to rise with great difficulty. S
