Chapter 7
Luke's POV "What do you mean, Doctor Mike? Rebecca is pregnant?" My voice sounded shaky and as if it was heavy to come out of my mouth."That's right, alpha. Luna just came to the hospital to check her pregnancy. Then how could she leave while pregnant like this?" Doctor Mike also looked worried.I saw Doctor Mike rubbing his face roughly. Right now my mind was in turmoil, between shock and surprise at the fact that my trusted doctor had just told me.My heartbeat felt faster than usual. My hands and feet were shaking, and there was a pain that seemed to cut my heart. I was completely helpless, imagining what had happened to Rebecca. Especially with her being pregnant, I wondered what her fate was out there."Rebecca," I whispered as I clutched my chest, which now felt tight. I even almost staggered."Alpha, are you okay?"Doctor Mike quickly rushed over to me. He helped hold my weak body from fallinChapter 8Rebecca's POV"From today you are officially a new member of Pack Blackmoon," Ken said as he smiled at me."Alpha?" My eyes sparkled with happiness.I didn't expect that the alpha named Ken was so nice. In my opinion, he was even better than Luke."Of course. You can choose what job you want. Healer, chef, or waiter? Or do you want to be a farm animal nurse? You can choose any job you want."My happiness grew even more when I heard that because all of Ken's offers were very suitable for me. However, I think I'll only choose one so that my concentration won't be disturbed by the other jobs. After all, I'm pregnant, and I need to take care of my future baby.I slowly took a deep breath and then let it out slowly. I had to make up my mind to choose one of the jobs offered by Ken just now."Alright, alpha. I will choose to be a chef. I happen to be able to cook," I replied, having finally decided on the jo
Chapter 9Rebecca's POV I vomited the entire contents of my stomach into the sink. The nausea intensified, causing me to vomit several times.After the incident ended, I quickly cleaned my mouth with water. I felt my body getting weaker and seemed to be losing strength. I looked at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, and there I saw my very pale face with my lips starting to turn white."I hope you're okay, dear. I'm sure you're a strong child, just like your father."I bowed my head as I rubbed my stomach which still looked flat. It's not even visible from the outside, so no one knows that I'm pregnant.Thinking about Luke makes my heart hurt again. The image of his handsome face disturbed my heart again, making my eyes suddenly wet and teary. "Alpha, I miss you so much," I whispered unconsciously, and at that moment my tears fell down my cheeks.For a few moments, I was still crying about my longing for Al
Chapter 10Rebecca's POV "Alpha, Rebecca is pregnant," Doctor Louise said in a voice that sounded a little shaky.My body trembled even more at Doctor Louise's statement. I squeezed the fingers of my hands which were starting to feel cold. Anxiety had taken over me, making my face look pale at the moment."What? Pregnant?"I heard Ken's voice which seemed to imply his surprise, with the alpha's tone of voice rising slightly. I don't know if Ken's and Doctor Louise's gazes were both directed at me at this moment, as I preferred to keep my face down without daring to look at either of them.Indistinctly, my ears heard the sound of footsteps walking firmly towards me. My heart told me that it was the footsteps of the Alpha who must currently be approaching me."Rebecca," called the alpha. His voice sounded low and quiet, unlike earlier when he showed his surprise.Timidly, I raised my face and looked at him. Our e
Chapter 11Rebecca's POV "What do you call a woman who gets pregnant without a husband, if not a bitch?"My whole body was trembling at the accusations that were thrown at me. My eyes felt like they were heating up, channeling all the emotions within me. I couldn't stop my tears from falling as their insulting words pierced my heart."Just so you know, Rebecca. Don't ever expect that you will be able to get close to our alpha because we will never want the alpha to get close to a woman like you," said another girl, who was now standing right in front of me."That's right. Don't ever dream of flirting with an alpha. We will never let our alpha get married to an unchaste woman like you. You bitch!""Stop what you're saying!" I was forced to shout in a high tone.Hearing my shout, the girls immediately fell silent. I didn't want to stir up trouble and make things more complicated. However, I also couldn't bear to hear the
Chapter 12 Ken's POV "Alpha, one of the horse guards wants to see you to report something." Adrian, the beta suddenly faced me."Let him in!""Yes, alpha."I waited on my royal throne, thinking about what the horse guards in the palace would say. Not long after, I saw Adrian enter along with a horse guard who was several hundred years older than me."Report, alpha!""Go ahead, Jeremy!""The horses at our farm have been missing for several nights. I've looked everywhere for tracks, but nothing. I'm worried that a Rogue or a werewolf from an enemy clan has infiltrated our territory," Jeremy said, and I could see the look of anxiety on his face.The report from Jeremy was enough to surprise me, but I tried to remain calm. If I was rash, then it would be bad for the survival of the Pack Blackmoon members."Alright, I'll call a meeting to discuss this matter. Now you go and take good care of the r
Chapter 13 Rebecca's POV "Help! This hurts!" I whimpered as I held my stomach in unimaginable pain. "Rebecca!" I saw the alpha approaching me quickly. He quickly grabbed my hand, lifted me gently, and immediately carried my body. But again I saw the anxiety on his handsome face. "Rebecca, you're bleeding!" My ears couldn't seem to hear what the alpha was saying. But I could see the worry growing on his face. Yes, this was the first time I saw Alpha so panicked. "How is this? You're bleeding and your skin is blistering too. Well, I'll heal your skin first. It won't take long," Ken said even more frantically. I couldn't seem to answer the alpha's words. Because I could only continue to feel the pain that ran through my body. While still enjoying the pain that pierced my stomach, I felt my body as if it was floating lightly in the air. The pain on my skin and face was also like needles piercing deeply. "Hold on, Rebecca." Alpha's voice sounded frantic, then he quickl
Chapter 14Rebecca's POV"What? Like me?" I stared wide-eyed, looking at Ken in disbelief.However, the alpha looked nervous and increasingly embarrassed. He quickly looked away to hide the redness that was on his cheeks. "Ah, I'm sorry, Rebecca. I just misspoke. I didn't mean it like that," said Ken, but his words sounded very nervous and shaking."Ah, okay, alpha. That's impossible after all. Or maybe I just heard wrong." I smiled and lay down again to rest."Yes, that's possible. Now you rest. I will always wait for you here.""Thank you very much, Alpha."That's how it ended. That night and several nights after that, Alpha always faithfully looked after me while I was being treated at the healer center. He even missed several ceremonial events, because he was busy accompanying me who was being treated intensively.Until finally a few days later, Doctor Louise finally allowed me to return to the palace. Accompanied by Ken, I went back to rest in the room. And starting tonight, I'm
Chapter 15Rebecca's POV"Rebecca!" The female healer's helper at the Healer Center scanned my face. Perhaps it was because I had fallen silent as soon as I heard the ending of the incident that left me lying in this room."Oh." I smiled. "I'm fine," I said to dispel the worry on her face."Uh ...." A long exhale came out of this woman's mouth. "Thank goodness! I was worried you were in shock from hearing all that."Once again, I shook my head to reassure my interlocutor.Then, she washed my body with warm water and straightened my back while inserting a large pillow behind me.A pair of hurried steps entered this room. But, they stopped here at the curtain. "Can I come in?"And it was Ken's voice."Wait!" replied the woman who helped with the healer's task. She asked me to eat something very sweet and finished a glass of milk.Then, she carried the empty cutlery away. "In a moment, I'll come with porridge and a potion that will draw out the poison that may have already entered the di
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
