During his life as King Alpha, Brandon never thought that a woman would challenge him. Even more so, that woman was his own Luna.The Luna who reappeared after ten years.Only a few hours had passed and there were so many shocking things that hit him. Brandon couldn't even process everything yet, he thought about his meeting with Rachel all night, while the morning came without him even realizing it.As the sun began to illuminate the courtyard of Pack Manowi's palace, he couldn't help but stiffen at the sight of Rachel standing before him.The woman was no longer wearing a silk gown, but a battle dress made of leather and covered with armor.Rachel looked at him with a closed expression, it was difficult to guess what was going through the woman's head. She just continued to stare at him, her hazel eyes still cold.Brandon was forced to agree to Rachel's invitation to battle, even though he never wanted to. Rachel had him cornered and he had no choice but to refuse. Moreover, this due
Rachel could not answer anything for a long time.Brandon was silent as well, seeing the confusion on her face. Rachel continued to stare at him, but he had no idea what that stare meant.Brandon's chest rumbled waiting for an answer, his hands clenched tightly. Did Rachel intend to refuse his request? Maybe she was fed up with everything Brandon had to say.'Rachel has changed', he thought.The fear was creeping into his heart fast. However, Brandon still hoped there would be a miracle. He hoped that love still remained in Rachel's heart, even though on the other hand, her hatred for him was also evident.The boundary between love and hate is actually so thin. And Brandon hoped that Rachel would prefer the love that was almost drowning between them.Brandon wanted to start all over."Rachel?" called Brandon, starting to feel worried because of Rachel's silence.The woman suddenly picked up her sword and stood up. She stared at Brandon for a few seconds before turning to leave wordles
"Rachel, how about you come to my palace?"Rachel winced at Kennedy's request. They had just met and he wasted no time in immediately inviting her to his palace? Did this man really only see Rachel as a means of revenge?Rachel could barely contain her grin. She felt like yelling at Kennedy, saying that he should be ashamed to come to her. He should have apologized to her, even begged at her feet after what he did.But apparently Rachel was wrong. Kennedy was still Kennedy, nothing but a scheming man who was still hungry for power. He had deceived Rachel countless times just to achieve that impossible thing. How disgusting!Kennedy must have thought that Rachel was still an innocent woman who was easily tricked with sweet words."My request was too surprising, huh?" Kennedy laughed and rubbed the back of Rachel's hand that was in his grasp.'It's good that you realized', Rachel thought sarcastically.However, she still wanted to see how far Kennedy was trying to influence her. So, Rac
"I was serious about what I said. Do I look like someone who's joking?" said Rachel with a completely changed expression. She no longer wore a sweet and innocent face, but a stern expression that made Kennedy's eyes widen."What... what do you mean..." Kennedy froze in place, feeling shocked and confused by Rachel's drastic change.So, why did Rachel want to come with him if she never wanted their revenge cooperation? What was the point of the duel Rachel and Brandon had if she didn't want revenge? Kennedy confused himself, suddenly feeling like a fool."What do you mean, Rachel? You must be joking, right? I know you still have a grudge against Brandon for taking him to war. Honey, you can't-""Stop...!" Rachel interrupted sharply. The look in her eyes directed at Kennedy was piercing, making the man feel as if he was being bullied. The aura emanating from Rachel looked exactly the same as Brandon when she was overcome with emotion.Kennedy was completely bewildered. What was really g
Kennedy felt confused about whether or not to accept Rachel's offer.But as an Alpha, Kennedy could not refuse the woman's offer, or his pride and status as a leader would be questioned.Kennedy then grabbed his sword hanging on the wall, then chased after Rachel who was already in the courtyard of Pack Leinz's palace, about to walk out towards the gate."Rachel, I accept your offer of a duel this instant! Stop right there!" shouted Kennedy, pointing his sword forward.Rachel automatically stopped walking. She turned her head and grinned at the sight of Kennedy engulfed in a burning rage. Rachel felt happy that Kennedy had finally gotten her temper out. She had been waiting for this for a long time."So, you accept my offer to battle?""Yes, right now. Right in the courtyard of my palace," Kennedy replied haughtily. He realized that Rachel could no longer be fooled, so she would fight the woman.No matter what, Kennedy had to win and bring Rachel back to her knees. Kennedy wasn't goin
Viviane didn't even glance at Rachel, whom she had arrowed with a poisoned dart. She ran straight to her husband in a panic.Kennedy was lying on the ground with his consciousness drifting. He could no longer hear Viviane's screams echoing through the palace grounds."Kennedy? Kennedy? Wake up, you must retain your consciousness!" Viviane screamed hysterically as she shook Kennedy's barely conscious body again. Tears rolled down her face as she called out to Beta Gonder and Beta Suzy. "Hurry up and get a healer and take my husband to his room! Quick! Guards, don't stay there! Let's get my husband up quickly!"Rachel watched the drama unfold with narrowed eyes. The pain in her neck was getting worse, but she was more surprised by what Viviane was doing to her.Was this all because of Kennedy?Well, of course it was. What else could it be? That woman is her mate, Rachel thought, laughing blandly.Rachel had forgotten that Viviane loved Kennedy so much that she was willing to take the ri
Brandon was silent on the side of the bed with his eyes fixed on Rachel. She had been unconscious after Brandon had found her in the forest bordering Pack Canis.Brandon didn't know what had happened to Rachel, but she had a wound on her neck. It was a wound from an arrow that had been forcefully pulled out. The wound was not deep, but Brandon realized that there was a deadly poison left there. And the poison had spread in Rachel's body.He was completely shocked when he saw the woman's terrible condition.Brandon had intended to go hunting to calm himself down. Along the way, he kept thinking about Rachel and finally found her lying in the forest. Even worse, she was already unconscious.So, Brandon decided to bring Rachel to Pack Manowi."Sweety," he called in a hoarse voice. Brandon's hand moved to caress Rachel's pale face, as well as her slightly blue lips. Her gaze turned sad.The doctor had given her medicine to stop the poison from spreading, but it wasn't enough. The poison t
"So, what exactly happened?""Mmm, I-I got into a... battle," Rachel said in a quiet voice.But Brandon, who had sharp hearing, immediately widened his eyes. "What? A battle?" Brandon chuckled in displeasure. "Who are you fighting with?"Rachel put her hands together and bit her lower lip, a little hesitant to say it. She was afraid Brandon would be angry. Even though the reality was that he would be, she didn't want to add to the problem.If Brandon got angry, then not only would Brandon and Kennedy be at odds, but both packs as well. The troops from each pack would fight back. And if a war broke out, then Pack Canis would also take part because it all started with Rachel.There would be many casualties, and Rachel didn't want that to happen.She challenged Kennedy solely out of personal vendetta. She knew the two would just duel and be done with it, but Viviane intervened.And now, this is what happened.Rachel didn't expect that she would collapse in the woods, only to be found by
