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..."

    The silence of the night was suffocating. Not a sound was to be heard. The nocturnal creatures that usually chirp merrily were nowhere to be seen, as if they were hiding, sensing the tension that was spreading everywhere.The clouds moved slowly. Their flow seemed to have stopped, perhaps waiting for the inevitable collision, bracing themselves for whatever might unfold.The wind blew fiercely, rustling through the leafless branches, carrying a chilling aura that enveloped the entire area.Above all, a full moon hung low in the dark sky, its presence a silent witness, staring coldly down at the two large packs facing each other on the battlefield.The Frostholm pack stood firm on the north side, their ranks tight and determined. Their sharp eyes stared ahead, fixed on the enemies who had caused them so much pain and suffering for so many years.Usher personally led the Frostholm Pack, standing at the front with a straight posture and eyes full of determination. Beside him stood Garth,

    Anger consumed Torin. His emotions burned, clouding his judgement, and his next attack was reckless. He aimed for Usher's neck, his fangs almost hitting the target, but Usher turned quickly, sinking his teeth into Torin's leg and throwing him aside with brutal force.Torin's body crashed to the ground with a thud, dust and blood swirling around him. Pain shot through his entire body, every nerve screaming in agony.Usher approached, his steps heavy but deliberate, radiating unshakable confidence. His golden eyes glowed with controlled fury, promising Torin a fate of utter destruction.Torin growled, rising to his feet, his gaze never leaving Usher's. Despite his injuries and weakened condition, he refused to show fear. Instead, he grinned, as if daring Usher to continue.Torin's defiance sent a wave of unease through Usher. His steps slowed and then a rumbling sound made him turn.Usher froze. A large group of warriors had suddenly arrived and surrounded the battlefield.Torin's pain

    Usher fell silent. The look in his eyes showed confusion, but Vione seemed confident. He turned to Garth. "Quick contact—"Usher's order was left unfinished, for at that moment Storm received a call, and the information they received shifted everyone's attention to Vione."Berg reports that one of the mine alarms has gone off."Usher's face hardened. "Where is it?""On the southern edge of the Amerotha forest."Usher closed his eyes dramatically. His hands clenched tightly and his chest roared with anger. "They really are bastards."Vione could understand Usher's anger, but time was running out. "Usher," she said thoughtfully, "we're out of time. You can't send Storm out to ambush them. And you can't divide our warriors now. Storm and Alvin must attack together. So, the only option left is..." She took a deep breath. She knew Usher would oppose her, but she wouldn't be silent. "...let me join the fight."Usher's eyes widened suddenly. "W-what did you say?""I know this is a risky move

    Now... The surprise attack from the elit warriors of the Nimbria Pack brought about a significant change in the battle. The Frostholm Pack's tight formation began to unravel as their warriors struggled to cope with the relentless, unexpected attacks of the Nimbria warriors. The speed and agility of the elit Nimbria warriors made their attacks difficult to predict, causing confusion among the Frostholm pack.The pressure continued. The surprise attack continued to push the Frostholm pack back. The elit Nimbria warriors encircled the Frostholm warriors in an unyielding ring, restricting their movement by closing in and shrinking the space in which they could fight.The Frostholm pack was increasingly cornered. Two attacks from opposite sides pinned them down. They couldn't do much. They couldn't attack freely, and they couldn't escape. All they could do was defend themselves as best they could.On the other side, the Nimbria pack became even more ferocious. Their motivation to fight i

    One thing Usher would remember for the rest of his life was that war never brought anything good. On the contrary, only bad things came out of war—death, pain, loss, suffering. For this reason, he would do everything in his power to ensure that there would be no more wars in the future—at least not in his lifetime—even if it meant making extreme choices.Usher hated war and he hated killing, but this time he put those feelings aside to ensure the safety of the Frostholm Pack. He had learned from experience that Kendrick's compassion could never touch the humanity of the Nimbria Pack. In truth, greed had blinded the Nimbria Pack, causing them to ignore the opportunity presented by the Frostholm Pack. Worse still, the Nimbria Pack saw Kendrick's decision as a sign of weakness, leading them to attack again whenever they had the chance.So, this time, Usher abandoned all compassion and humanity. The Nimbria Pack didn't deserve it. Instead, he would make sure that the Nimbria Pack felt all

    A heavy silence had fallen over the Frostholm territory since the night before. The area was truly desolate, with no sign of the Frostholm pack except for Berg and the guards stationed everywhere to protect the borders and the palace. The rest of the pack had evacuated to Amerotha Forest, hiding under the protection of Rowena's magic.The tension was palpable. The members of the pack seemed restless, their minds filled with fear, even though their safety was guaranteed within the forest. They knew that this security did not extend to those fighting in the war; there was no guarantee of safety for them.No one could close their eyes. They couldn't even stay in their tents. Instead, they chose to gather together and pray without ceasing.Hope poured from the depths of their hearts. Every prayer was accompanied by sincerity, and many shed tears. Their sorrow ran deep, and the Amerotha Forest could feel it.A blue-golden light slowly emerged, flowing from the ground and spreading everywhe

Fear and anxiety about the future had vanished, replaced by happy, vibrant faces. They knew that the danger that had loomed over them for years had been overcome.On the other hand, the peace that now surrounded the Frostholm Pack did not lull Usher into complacency.

    Silence. Ivan and Rowena both stood still, staring at Vione without blinking."I'm meeting Usher, Dad," Vione said again. She pouted as she continued, "We've been dating since the night of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony." Her face flushed, obviously embarrassed. "When we were celebrating at the palace, and that's when we..."Vione didn't finish her sentence, but both Ivan and Rowena understood. They could guess what had happened that night. But one thing was still unclear to them.Ivan cleared his throat. He rubbed his chin, looking puzzled. "Usher?" he asked. "Which Usher are you talking about?""Papa," Vione groaned, feeling even more helpless. She was completely embarrassed. "There's only one Usher I know, the one you both know, Usher Thorne."Ivan's mouth opened, but no words came out. He seemed genuinely shocked and needed a little more time to fully process the name Usher Thorne.Ivan stared at Vione. "Usher Thorne?"The doorbell rang at the same moment. Vione's eyes widened.

    Vione couldn't answer Jemma's words. Her heart was truly touched and she fell silent, only able to look at Usher, knowing that everything Jemma had said was the undeniable truth. Pregnancy was always a happy announcement. But Vione's pregnancy was more than joy; it was a blessing. For Usher, Jemma, Rowena and the Frostholm Pack, Vione's pregnancy was the greatest gift the Moon Goddess had given them. So, it was no surprise that when the palace announced Vione's pregnancy, the entire pack rejoiced and celebrated everywhere. Without exception, the news spread to the farthest corners of the Frostholm Pack territory. Smiles and beaming eyes adorned the faces of every member of the pack. They continued to give thanks for all the good things that had happened to the pack—from their victory in the war to Vione's pregnancy—and they didn't forget to pray for Vione's wellbeing. Ayla, the Sacred Elder, made hasty preparations. She arranged for a blessing ceremony for Vione's pregnancy to be h

    There was a bright, blinding light. It seemed to be the morning sun, its warmth soothing her soul. Vione wasn't alone. Next to her was Usher, always holding her hand. They were talking, laughing, when suddenly a scene made her eyes widen. "Sylvia, come back! Don't go too far! Oh, God! Silas, can you go after her?"Usher pulled Vione into his arms. "Don't worry, she won't get lost. They're smart kids." "Usher," Vione groaned, pressing her lips together and raising her hand to point. "That's too—" Vione frowned. Something was holding her hand. Something was stroking the back of her hand, squeezing her fingers. "U-Usher." "Vione? Are you awake?" Usher's voice echoed in her head, like the buzzing of a thousand bees, driving that beautiful memory from her mind. It made her slightly dizzy and she moaned softly. "Vione? Can you hear my voice?" Vione frowned and slowly opened her eyes. She saw Usher's face, filled with immeasurable relief. "Usher." "Oh, thank God," Usher whispered, k

    The meeting was only ten minutes old—it had only just started—and the first presentation had only just been given, but Usher's concentration was already disturbed. He couldn't concentrate on the data being presented. His mind kept wandering back to Vione. He had tried to ignore it, but suddenly his heart was pounding with an unfamiliar rhythm.Usher held his breath. Vione. Had something happened to her?At the same time, Usher saw Garth reach into the inside pocket of his suit. He watched as Garth stepped out of the meeting to take a phone call and for some reason Usher was certain that the call had something to do with Vione.Usher's intuition was right. Immediately after the call, Garth approached him and whispered in his ear."Alpha, Cora just reported that Luna fainted at a banquet—"Usher immediately got up from his seat. He left and Garth quickly said, "The meeting will be postponed."Then Garth hurried after Usher. They left the office five minutes later, Garth driving as fast

    Two days later Rowena was ready. With her was Cora, whom Usher had specially assigned to accompany her on her journey.Rowena cupped Vione's cheeks. "Don't worry, Vione. We'll see each other often. Besides, it's the only way I can make up for leaving you as a baby.""No, Mama." Vione held Rowena's hands. "You did it so I could live with other werewolves. I understand that."Still, Rowena's guilt remained. So, she promised to make up for it with happiness and togetherness in the future."I hope you take good care of yourself, Mama," Vione said, calming her heart. Then she took off the moon necklace she was wearing. She put the moon necklace into Rowena's hand. "Let me know if anything happens."Rowena nodded. "Of course."Vione and Usher watched Rowena leave, certain that this wasn't goodbye. In truth, they were just living apart. They would keep in touch. They would still meet and visit. So, everything would be fine. There was nothing to worry about.That was what Rowena believed too.

    Vione's hope was the promise she had made to Ivan. After so much suffering and sacrifice, there was only one thing she wanted most: to live a peaceful life surrounded by those she loved—Usher, Jemma and Rowena.They were owed many happy days because of the tragedies that had unfolded over the years, along with the war. Now Vione simply wanted to repay that debt by enjoying their time together, especially with Rowena.For countless days, Vione had longed for the loving touch of her biological parents. Despite the fact that her life with Addy and Hilary had been happy and full of love, she could not deny that deep down there was a part of her that longed for the warmth and love of her real parents. And when she learned that Ivan was long gone, all her hopes were placed in Rowena.Vione wanted to experience the affection she had only imagined. She wanted to spend endless days with Rowena in the palace. But it seemed that Rowena had other thoughts than her own."W-what do you mean, Ma?" V
