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
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
