Chapter 37Luke's POV "Mommy!" shouted Lucas as he called out to Rebecca who was standing in front of the palace gates.I stood beside Lucas, watching the scene with a big smile on my face. I grabbed both of my son's shoulders and half-whispered in his ear."Daddy is sure that your mommy will be happy with what you give," I whispered."Yes. I hope so." Lucas nodded quickly and returned my smile."Let's just wait. Your mommy will be here," I said confidently.It's true what I just said. I saw Rebecca take a little run towards us, and when she arrived, she looked at both of us in turn with worried eyes."Lucas, are you here? Where have you been, darling?" asked Rebecca as she knelt in front of Lucas.She stroked our son's hair and repeatedly kissed Lucas' face without missing an inch."Mommy, why do you look so worried?" Lucas asked innocently."Oh Lucas, how can Mommy not be worried? Mommy has been looking for you everywhere but you're not there. It turns out you're here with the alph
Chapter 38Rebecca's POV My heart trembled as I locked eyes with Luke. His sharp yet gentle gaze seemed to search the depths of my soul. My heart was racing, almost uncontrollably. A warm feeling enveloped me, making the world around me seem to disappear for a moment.I can't deny that I've had a crush on Luke since the first time I saw him. And every time we meet, the feeling deepens. It was as if there was an invisible bond that connected us. My happiness peaked when he chose me to be his Luna in the mating season a few years ago.Truly, I felt that it was a gift from the moon goddess that I was first grateful for."Mommy, Daddy!" exclaimed Lucas who suddenly surprised us both.After finishing his meal, Lucas suddenly hugged both of us simultaneously. Luke and I gasped, causing us to break our gaze."Daddy," Lucas called as he looked at Luke after he released the hug from us."Yes, sweetheart. What's wrong?" Luke asked with great concern."Can Daddy show me around the pack?" Lucas
Chapter 39Ken's POV"Stop all this!"I exclaimed in a loud voice. The scene in front of me made my heart feel so hot that it was almost on fire. My hands were clenched tightly into fists, with all the anger gathered there.How could I not?It was visible in front of my eyes, how Rebecca, Luke, and Lucas were joking and laughing in such a warm atmosphere. My heart broke as I gazed at the warm togetherness between the three of them in front of me. They were laughing, their hands clasped together, looking like the perfect family. But I knew that underneath it all, there was hidden suffering and pain. And I was the one who felt the most pain over them all being together."Ken, what are you doing here? How dare you come into my territory!" Luke exclaimed angrily when he saw me there.Not only Luke but Rebecca and Lucas also looked very surprised by my presence in the Winterblood pack.Yes, I knew that I wa
Chapter 40Rebecca's POV I was momentarily stunned when I heard Ken's hanging words. My eyes squinted, looking at him strangely and suspiciously."What do you mean, Alpha? What's wrong with Luke?" I asked while looking seriously at Ken because his words had successfully disturbed my mind."You should know that it was Luke who separated you from your parents. He made you an orphan!"Thump! Thump!I felt my heart beating very fast. My eyes were wide open, my lips were half open, and suddenly my head felt so heavy.Ken's words almost made my world collapse. I slowly turned my face to look at Luke, who was also looking back at me. His gaze looked so troubled."Alpha, is that true?" My voice trembled, even so softly that it was barely audible."Rebecca, I can explain everything." Luke reached out his hand to take mine.But when I heard his words, I felt that there was something strange about his words. When his hand managed to grab my wrist, I quickly flung Luke's hand away from mine."Le
Chapter 41Rebecca's POV "What happened to mommy?" asked Lucas in a panicked voice when he saw me scream.I was startled and looked down at my palm which was now hot and red. The pain was so real, like a burn mark that had just happened. I turned to my son Lucas, who was sitting on the edge of the bed looking worriedly at me. Then I looked back at the door I had just been holding."Lucas, what's wrong with this door?" I asked in surprise while holding the pain in my hand.Lucas looked at me with big, questioning eyes. He then shook his head quickly, indicating that he didn't know what my question meant."I don't know, Mom. Is it possible that Daddy has put a spell on us so that we can't open the door?" She asked back.Hearing that, I was suddenly wide-eyed and immediately nodded in agreement with what Lucas had just said. In my heart, I felt angry at what Luke had done.This time he made me angry again. Yes, he must have deliberately locked me and Lucas up in this luxurious room."Yo
Chapter 42Luke's POV"I want you to let me and Lucas leave here!"I widened my eyes, surprised to hear the words of Rebecca who was currently hugging our son Lucas. Of course, I wouldn't allow them to leave this castle. Because after years of searching, they have finally returned to me. Of course, there was no way I was going to just let them leave."I won't let you leave!" I said firmly."Luke, you're evil!" Rebecca shouted with a clear look of disappointment in her eyes.Perhaps because she was too disappointed in me, she didn't even call me alpha anymore. Yes, I know that she was very angry. But I would never grant her that request either."Rebecca, I mean you and Lucas no harm at all. I just want to protect you," I said trying to convince her."Protect from what? You're the one who made Lucas and me suffer. I hate you so much, Luke!" screamed Rebecca angrily.Rebecca's hand shot up, and she was about to slap me again. However, I quickly grabbed her hand with one of mine. Because
Chapter 43Rebecca's POV The night turned into day. Day after day passed, and it seemed so long to me. Weeks went by, but Lucas and I were still in the same position.Yes, we were still locked up in Luke's luxurious room. I could only cry every day, hoping that there would be a miracle that could free me and my son.However, my hopes were always dashed when I remembered the spell Luke had put on the door of this room. The alpha never wanted to free us, and he still put a spell on Lucas and me to keep us out."When is your daddy going to set us free, Lucas?" I asked Lucas as I lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling of the luxurious room filled with colorful crystal chandeliers."I don't know, mom. But the important thing is that Daddy still visits us here. Daddy comes here every day, right?" Lucas said casually."Huft, you're always defending your insolent daddy," I snorted in annoyance and chose to close my eyes because I didn't want to vent my anger on my little son.Lucas didn't
Chapter 44 Luke's POV "Beta, order all the royal officials to gather in the meeting hall! Tonight we will discuss something very important," I ordered Harvey who had been walking beside me. "Alright, alpha. I will carry out your orders." Harvey nodded obediently. After that, he quickly left to give orders to the royal officials of Winterblood Palace. Meanwhile, I went to the meeting hall first and sat on my throne while waiting for all of them to arrive. A few minutes passed, and Harvey finally showed up with these officials of my royal court. They all bowed to me in salute. "Our respects, alpha." "Sit down. I have something to talk to you all about!" I ordered. "All right, alpha." Without waiting to be ordered a second time, they all immediately sat down facing me. All their eyes were on me. Tonight was a night full of tension. Previously, I had intended to hold an important meeting with the palace officials. We all gathered in the main meeting room which was lit by large
Chapter 110That night, the pale moon hung in the sky shrouded in gray clouds, as if it didn't want to fully reveal itself. The atmosphere was eerie, with a cold breeze that made the branches of the trees creak, creating the impression that something was lurking in the darkness. In front of a dull, unkempt old shack, Lucas stood tall with a cold, piercing gaze, even as his heart rumbled within him.He stared straight ahead, where a girl with a black face full of burns stood trembling. The girl, Elle, was sobbing, her tears flowing unstoppably, but Lucas would not look at her. He knew what she had done, and it was unforgivable.Lucas took a deep breath, trying to tamp down the emotions that were about to explode inside him. "Delta Richard," he called in a firm but flat tone. His voice sounded like a command that could not be refuted. "Take this girl right now to the Winterblood pack. She must be held accountable for her actions there."Richard, a tall man with black hair that had begun
Chapter 109That night, the cold wind was blowing hard, carrying snowflakes that fell relentlessly. The dark sky was covered in thick clouds, with only the occasional glimpse of the full moon obscured by the fog. The atmosphere inside the spacious and majestic room was eerie, although the fireplace in the corner of the room burned brightly, providing a little warmth in the midst of the blizzard outside.Ken stepped quickly into the room with a tense and angry face. His every step echoed on the cold marble floor. Behind him, Delta Richard followed him with a solemn expression, his eyes not leaving Ken's back which looked even more solid as anger overcame him. The air in the room was tense as if everyone was holding their breath.The snow on Ken's fur coat melted and dripped onto the floor, leaving a wet trail. As soon as his gaze fell on Elle, who sat weakly on the floor with a dull face full of wounds, his anger intensified. Next to the girl, Lucas stood transfixed, seemingly unaware
Chapter 108In the middle of a pine forest covered in a white blanket of snow, the silence is eerie. The cold air hugged everything in it, and only the sound of the wind whispering through the tall trees accompanied the journey. Broken, snow-covered branches made a crunching sound under Ken and Richard's boots as they stood still, transfixed by the endless trees.Their faces looked full of anxiety. A moment ago, Emma stood before them, before disappearing into the darkness, leaving behind a warning that made their blood rush faster."Lucas is in this forest. Find him before that black-faced girl kills him, just like she did to Alpha Hernandez's family," Emma said, her voice firm and full of warning.As soon as those words were spoken, Emma disappeared without a trace. Like a wind that suddenly changed direction, so quickly and without warning. Richard stared in the direction Emma had gone, his eyebrows knitted together. "Why does she always disappear like that?" he muttered irritably,
Chapter 107It was getting late, and the silence felt more piercing than just the chill of a mountain night. The simple wooden house in the middle of the forest that usually sheltered Lucas was now filled with tension that hung in the air. The dark, moonless sky emphasized the gloomy atmosphere, while a gust of cold wind broke through the cracks in the wooden walls, making a faint swishing sound that added to the discomfort.On the veranda of the house, Lucas sat leaning against an old, almost fragile wooden chair, his hands firmly gripping the back of the chair. His sharp eyes full of emotion were fixed on Elle, the girl standing not far in front of him. That night, something was different, something that made Lucas feel mixed up. While the sound of her heartbeat echoed in his ears, his mind was filled with confusion and disbelief."How could you say the same thing to me?" asked Lucas in a hoarse voice, almost a suppressed whisper. His tone was filled with shock, perhaps even a littl
CASpter 106Lucas was still sitting in the middle of the street, his body shaking lightly from the adrenaline that was still coursing through his body. His gaze did not shift from the girl standing not far from him. The atmosphere around them was tense, with only the crackling sound of flames from a burning car in the distance, and the thick smell of smoke filling the air. The afternoon sky was covered in dark clouds, leaving only a little light from the obscured moon.The girl, with a jet-black face that looked like it had been burned, stared at Lucas expressionlessly. The large scar on her cheek was clearly visible, but strangely, despite her sinister appearance, there was something in the way she held out a hand that made Lucas feel a little calm."Are you okay?" the girl's voice sounded soft yet firm, as if full of assurance that she was there to help.Lucas remained silent, his gaze blank. His mind was spinning, trying to digest what exactly had just happened. Just a few minutes
Chapter 105This morning Ken woke up with a gasp, his body still feeling the residual tension from the nightmare he didn't fully remember. His eyes looked around Emma's old hut. The weathered wooden walls seemed helpless against time, with cracks letting in the dawn rays. The gloomy atmosphere added to the uncomfortable feel of the hut.Beside him, Richard had woken up first, sitting on the edge of the rickety bed with a dazed face and eye bags that clearly showed a lack of sleep. Outside, birdsong could be heard faintly, but it was unable to ease the anxiety that suddenly enveloped the room."Lucas... where is he?" muttered Richard, his voice full of confusion as his eyes scanned the empty room.Ken snapped out of his slumber, his heart beating faster as he realized Lucas' absence. "He was here last night. I'm sure," Ken said in a firm tone, though in his heart, worry was beginning to creep in. His gaze swept every corner of the old hut, but there was no sign of Lucas."We have to fi
Chapter 104The sound of the fire crackling softly from the small fireplace in Emma's hut mingled with the silence of the night as if forming a rhythm that accompanied the emptiness of Lucas' heart. The cold air enveloped the narrow room, while the old wood of the ceiling cracked adding to the gloomy atmosphere.Lucas sat in the corner, his body motionless, only his empty gaze piercing through the small cracks in the wood. Elara's face swirled in his mind as if haunting his every breath. This nightmare felt real, more than just a dark memory.Ken, who was sitting next to Lucas, looked at the young man with concern. The atmosphere inside the hut was so tense, with the air seemingly holding its breath, only the sound of the fireplace was a silent witness to their despair."Lucas..." Ken opened his voice, quietly but thoughtfully. "I know it's hard, but you need to rest. We need energy for tomorrow, to start looking for answers."Ken's voice didn't seem to touch Lucas. Lucas' eyes remain
Chapter 103As dawn begins to fade at the border of the forest, the atmosphere is quiet and cold. A thin mist drifted between the tall trees, creating a mysterious impression that surrounded every corner of the forest. The biting night air made Lucas, Ken, and Delta Richard's breath turn into a thin vapor that soon disappeared among the mist.Lucas stood at the front, his body tense and his jaw hardened. He didn't say a word, but the anxiety was clear in his eyes. While Ken and Richard who stood behind him, remained vigilant, scanning every corner of the dark and eerie forest."We have to be careful here," Ken muttered, his eyes keenly watching the dense forest before them. "I hear this forest is famous for all sorts of... unfriendly things."Lucas didn't respond. He stepped forward, breaking dry branches under his feet, his eyes focused ahead. Thoughts of Elara filled his mind. No matter what Ken said, there was only one thing that mattered now: finding Elara. All the horrible storie
Chapter 102That morning, dawn was reddening in the sky above Blackmoon Castle, coloring the dusk that began to slowly glow. Fresh air with a cool breeze enveloped the entire neighborhood, carrying the scent of wet soil freshly touched by the morning dew. Lucas, eyes still a little heavy, was awake earlier than usual. The creak of the large wooden door sounded softly as he stepped out of his magnificent room. The hallways of the palace were filled with large, gold-framed paintings that told the long history of the Blackmoon family. His quiet footsteps echoed as if soaking up every memory stored within those walls.Once outside, Lucas' gaze fell on the vast garden that stretched out in front of the palace. It was filled with neatly arranged flowers, with a giant fountain in the center that sparkled with rainbows from the reflected rays of the rising sun. Lucas walked to the stone bench in front of the fountain, sat down, and took a deep breath. It had been years since he had set foot i
