Chapter 73The night was indeed very tense. The jet-black sky, covered with thick clouds that held back the moonlight, made the night even darker. The sound of the wind piercing the skin was like nature whispering that something big was about to happen. Amidst the atmosphere, Luke walked in front, his steps steady despite the tension on his face. Rebecca was behind him, followed by Erick and Ken who were no less serious. The Winterblood pack soldiers surrounded them, closely guarding Elder Jack who was now walking with his head bowed, his face pale and regretful.The sound of their footsteps echoed through the cobblestone streets, followed by the heavy breathing of those watching. The werewolves around them stared angrily and hatefully at Elder Jack. Every eye they passed seemed to be throwing out accusations and pent-up anger."Is that Elder Jack?" came a whisper in the crowd."He's a traitor... It's about time he was punished," said another, his voice full of hatred.None of them c
Chapter 74In the center of the palace square, a bonfire blazed with an eerie sound in the night illuminated by the full moon. The atmosphere of the night was filled with tension, with the eyes of all the Winterblood pack members fixed on an old man standing near the flames. Luke, the alpha, stood before the pack with a strained face and tear-filled eyes. "All Winterblood pack members," Luke's voice trembled, "tonight we face a very tough decision. Elder Jack, whom we have come to consider part of our family, has committed a very deep betrayal."With a hoarse voice, Luke continued, "In accordance with the pack's decision, I will sentence Elder Jack to death for the betrayal he has committed. Elder Jack will be put into the flames of this bonfire, and this decision is my final decision!"Luke wiped away the tears falling down his cheeks, trying to hold back the deepening pain. For him, this punishment was not just about carrying out the law, but about losing someone he had come to thi
The Winterblood Palace Square was getting quiet. The night sky was getting darker, illuminated only by the pale moonlight. The pack members who had previously filled the place slowly dispersed, letting the silence take over. The scent of soil and wet leaves mingled with the chill in the air, giving the night a somber feel.In the center of the square, Luke was still standing strong. His eyes stared ahead at the figures that were moving away, including Elder Jack, who was now being carried with his hands tied. Luke's heart was still pounding, even though the trial was over. Rebecca, Luna's, decision to overturn Elder Jack's death sentence had come as a shock to many, including him. However, behind the surprise, there was a sense of pride that welled up in Luke's chest.His Beta, a well-built man with a stern gaze, approached after receiving orders from Rebecca."What should we do now, Alpha?" the Beta asked respectfully, his eyes monitoring Elder Jack who was being led to the prison.L
That night, the cold autumn wind crept through the Winterblood castle, shaking every wall. But inside Luke and Rebecca's room, the deep warmth overpowered the biting cold. The two of them sat on the bed, facing each other, as if time stopped just for the two of them. This was a different night. Not like their first meeting, when Luke was drunk and everything just happened. Tonight, love flowed without barriers, sincere and meaningful.Luke looked deeply into Rebecca's eyes, eyes that always gave a sense of calm and unwavering love. His fingers slowly touched Rebecca's soft cheeks, tracing the curves lovingly. "I love you, Rebecca," she whispered, almost hoarse, yet filled with emotion. "More than I ever imagined, more than I can say."Rebecca, sitting across from him, felt Luke's every touch like a stream of warmth flowing through her. A sweet smile rose on her lips, her eyes not looking away from the man who had changed her life forever. "I love you too, Luke," she replied softly. He
Rebecca stepped slowly, but surely, through the dark hallways towards the prison. The cold penetrated her bones, making her skin crawl, but her heart was set. She had to face the man who had ruined her life, who tore her family apart. This was the final step to close this dark chapter in her life. So many wounds were scratched, but the forgiveness that would be given this time was for herself so that she could move on.Arriving at the cell, she saw Elder Jack, the old man cowering in the corner of the room. The figure that once looked powerful and intimidating now looked broken and helpless. Slow sobs escaped his dry lips, echoing softly in the cramped space of the prison."Elder Jack," Rebecca called, her voice firm, unwavering. The call made the old man flinch, and slowly, Elder Jack raised his face. His eyes were red and puffy, his face looking older than ever, filled with a deep sense of guilt."Rebecca..." his hoarse voice hung in the air as if he didn't know how to begin. "I...
Chapter 78It's been a few years since Luke and Rebecca went through the grief that tested them. Now, happiness is beginning to return to their lives, especially after seeing the development of their son, Lucas. The ten-year-old grew up with so much energy, always full of vigor as if the world couldn't contain his little steps.But it wasn't just his activity that made Lucas special, it was his extraordinary abilities. He could see into people's pasts and futures, something that not even adults could do.Rebecca and Luke realize this gift was given to them by the Moon Goddess during the Bluemoon festival a few years ago. Whenever Lucas showed them this ability, they were always reminded of that sacred night, a night that brought unexpected blessings to their family.That afternoon, the sun began its slow descent behind the trees, leaving an orange tinge in the dusky sky. Lucas played in the yard, accompanied by Ovy, the loyal servant who had worked with the family for years. Ovy was b
Ch 79That night, the full moon hung perfectly in the sky, its light illuminating Winterblood Castle with an impressive silvery glow. The night sky was clear, and the stars dotting the sky looked as if they were rejoicing in celebrating this special night.Around the palace, the festive atmosphere was felt to the edges of the territory. The Bloodmoon Festival, an annual event held in honor of the Moon Goddess, was in full swing. A giant bonfire burned in the center of a large field, radiating heat and a golden-orange glow that touched the faces of the attendees, creating shadows that moved with the dance of the flames.The sounds of laughter, conversation, and distinctive wolf music enveloped the night. The alphas, betas, and higher-ups of the various packs stood in groups, chatting excitedly with each other. Flags adorned with symbols of the Moon Goddess fluttered softly in the cool night breeze, adding to the majestic atmosphere.In the distance, there was the clattering of wolf dan
Chapter 80The sound of festive music drifted softly, filling the starlit night air. Small lanterns hung all around the open field, creating a golden glow that added to the warm and intimate atmosphere. Pack members laughed and rejoiced, celebrating the annual festival they always looked forward to. Luke stood in the center of the crowd, smiling faintly at his comrades, but inside his heart was a feeling that was hard to explain: an unfilled void.This night should be full of happiness, but Luke feels something different, something he never expected. His emotions began to fray, and he couldn't understand what was making his chest feel tight.An unfamiliar sensation suddenly slipped into his heart. That bond. A mate bond, but strangely, it was not with Rebecca, the woman he had always thought was his destined mate. Her heart rate increased, and cold sweat began to break out on the nape of her neck. In his heart, he knew something had changed. Slowly, his eyes swept the crowd, searching
