Chapter 64Luke's POV Our steps pounded on the cold, rough stone floor, creating a thrilling rhythm. The tower loomed before us, a majestic monument that now looked like a menacing fortress. Our hearts pounded with a mixture of tension and hope. The black-robed figure that had disrupted our lives was now nearby, and we couldn't let him escape again.Upon arriving at the tower, my troops and I were stunned. The figure we were looking for had disappeared, like the morning mist disappearing into the sunlight. Frustration swept through my mind. "Assemble and search for him!" I shouted, my voice echoing off the cold tower walls. "I'll check on Elder Jack's condition."Determined, I rushed towards the prison. This prison, where I kept Elder Jack locked up, always felt eerie. The heavy iron door rattled as I opened it, and pitch blackness greeted me. The darkness seemed to have a life of its own, wrapping me in panic and loneliness.I explored the cell carefully, groping in the dark, trying
Chapter 65Rebecca's POV Slowly my eyelids began to lift, opening my eyes that still felt droopy. Once my eyes were fully open, I looked around the room where I was currently lying.I finally woke up and opened my eyes slowly. The blinding light of the lamp made me have to squint. Once my vision started to clear, I saw Doctor Mike who was busy checking the medical equipment near me. From there, I realized that I was in a hospital. But, why am I here? That question was swirling around in my head.I got up slowly, though my head still felt a little dizzy. My gaze swept across the room, searching for Luke's whereabouts. Where is he? The question kept haunting me, but his figure was nowhere to be seen. I turned to Doctor Mike, trying to calm myself down even though my heart was filled with anxiety."Doctor Mike, where is Alpha?" I asked, my voice hoarse and full of anxiety.Doctor Mike paused for a moment, looking at me with a calm yet alert expression. "Alpha Luke went to the tower with
Chapter 66Rebecca's POV "Honey, this afternoon you have to come with me to the meeting hall. We have a lot to talk about with the higher-ups. And they have to know everything," Luke said when he was alone with me in the room."Must be this afternoon, alpha? But I want to be with Lucas all day." I objected a little to his request."That's okay, honey. We can leave Lucas with Ovy. Lucas loves being with your friend anyway.""But, alpha...""Rebecca." Luke took my hand, then looked at me as his other hand stroked my hair."You're the Luna of this castle, and you must stand by your alpha and husband. And the two of us will solve this problem together. I hope you don't mind my request, dear," Luke pleaded, looking very hopeful to me.I honestly felt touched by his words. I couldn't help but nod my head, agreeing with what he said."Alright then, alpha. I will accompany you to the royal hall.""Thank you very much, dear. I'm sure that I can count on you." Luke looked very happy and quickl
Chapter 67Ken's POVTonight, a cold wind swept through the forest surrounding my kingdom. The full moon is hidden behind thick clouds as if it shares the tension that hangs in the air. I almost lost the battle against Luke a while ago.That defeat is seared into my mind, fueling my ambition for revenge. Tonight, I gathered the royal officials in the luxurious meeting room of the Blackmoon kingdom.Before me, Beta Adrian now stood quietly. He has been my confidant all along, someone who has never wavered in his loyalty. Beside him, Elder Jack sat quietly, his face full of wisdom and cunning gained from years of experience.He was a highly respected elder in the Winterblood kingdom, and now he was on my side. Lastly, there was Erick, a Rogue whom I promised to spare after he decided to conspire with me to infiltrate Luke's Winterblood castle.I looked at them one by one before finally speaking. "Thank you for coming tonight," my voice was calm, yet filled with determination. "Elder Jac
Chapter 68Ken's POVTonight, a cold wind blew softly on the balcony of my room. It's been a few days since the big fight with Luke's kingdom, and also a few days since Erick and Elder Jack decided to join my side. escape Lucas and Rebecca's shadow."Lucas, Rebecca, I miss you," I spoke softly.Even though he is not my biological child, I already love him like my flesh and blood. Seeing her now choose to be with Luke, my heart feels empty. And Rebecca, my fate mate, also chose to be by Luke's side, who is her husband. It felt like something was missing in my life, something that could never be replaced.With a shake, I went back into the room, looking at the big bed that I once shared with Lucas. The memories were so clear as if they were just yesterday.“No matter what, I have to get them back. Lucas and Rebecca, they are mine. They are my family.”However, when I was about to mourn my longing and try to sleep, a memory suddenly crossed my mind. Memories of Erick and Elder Jack. This
Chapter 69In this chapter, I will be using an all-knowing POV 3 because there are many secrets to be known. Thank you for your understanding.Several days passed, but until this moment, Luke and Rebecca still had no news about Erick, who had betrayed the Winterblood pack by joining Ken's Blackmoon pack. Tonight Rebecca was seen walking back and forth on the balcony of the room. She clutched her wolf head necklace tightly, with a worried look looking down."What's wrong, dear? Why are you agitated like this?"Luke's voice suddenly startled his wife. Rebecca gasped and was about to turn her head quickly, but her body movement was restrained as Luke suddenly hugged her from behind."Ah, Alpha. You surprised me," Rebecca said with a sigh of relief."What are you thinking about, Luna?" asked Luke who now rested his chin on Rebecca's shoulder.The beautiful woman sighed softly. She held Luke's burly arm, then slowly turned her body to face her husband. Rebecca put her hand on Luke's shoul
Chapter 70"Rebecca, watch out!" shouted Luke as he pulled Rebecca's body and hugged her tightly.Their bodies fell to the ground with their arms around each other. Rebecca's breath caught, and her eyes widened to look at Luke questioningly."Alpha, what's wrong?" she asked in surprise."Look at that!" Luke pointed towards where they were standing a few seconds ago.There, an arrow was firmly embedded in the body of their car. Rebecca froze, her heart beating fast."What the hell?" she muttered, her voice trembling. "Who's doing this?"Luke didn't answer. Wasting no time, he helped Rebecca to her feet, his gaze full of anger. His eyes blazed, showing his savage side as an alpha. He looked towards the nearby bushes, suspecting something. Without saying a word, Luke darted and disappeared into the lush bushes."Alpha, where are you going?" shouted Rebecca frantically, but Luke had already darted far ahead.Rebecca was agitated. She wanted to chase after her husband, but something seemed
Chapter 71As the moon shone down on the night, Ken saw something he had never imagined before. "Oh, Selene, it's Erick!" he exclaimed, his eyes widening at the horrifying sight. Erick, in the form of a giant wolf, was attacking Elder Jack mercilessly. The night wind picked up, carrying the scent of wet earth and blood that began to waft through the air.Thud!Elder Jack's body slammed into the ground, pushed by Erick's savage strength. The sound of bones crunching made Ken shudder, and blood began to flow from the wound on Elder Jack's face. Erick, with bloodshot eyes full of rage, stared at him intently, his pointed fangs protruding from his muzzle, ready to strike his next victim."Spare me, Erick! Don't do this!" Elder Jack shouted in a trembling voice, his body shivering with fear. However, Erick didn't care. His anger had boiled over and could not be stopped. Erick's claws hit Elder Jack's face, tearing it apart with unimaginable brutality. Fresh blood gushed out, creating a red
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
