Eero's Perspective
I didn't want to get up from the bed. The softness of the mattress was tempting me and on top of that, my eyelids felt heavy to open. My mind had already agreed that I'd stay in bed for another hour after I checked the time when I felt my stomach churning. It stopped me from my track, but chose to shrug it off until a squeaky feeling came over me and I couldn't find the urge to throw up.I run fast to the bathroom and vomit whatever is left in my stomach. After rinsing my mouth, I checked my reflection in the mirror. "But I don't look sick." I checked my temperature too and I don't feel feverish. "Did I eat something last night that could upset my stomach?" I whispered to myself. I opened the drawer to grab an ointment that I could use for my tummy when I saw an unopened box of tampons. I rushed out of the bathroom to grab my phone on the bedside table. "I'm three weeks delayed with my period. My period nEero's perspective“I'm gonna meet Cohen once we're done patrolling the border.” I couldn't hide my excitement from Soleil, my best friend, as I said those words to her. Stopping her footsteps, Soleil leaned towards my direction upon hearing this news. “Oh yeah, it's your 10th anniversary today! I don't know how things are going on between you, but is Cohen showing some signs, hinting, or dropping clues that he would propose to you? It would be meaningful if he did it today. That would be a wonderful way to wrap up this decade of romance.” Soleil pouted her lips as she looked at me, waiting patiently to find out more about our plans for the anniversary. What was I supposed to tell her? Cohen hadn't said anything about this day, but who knows? There might be a surprise waiting for me at home.“Wait! Am I picking this up right? Does your silence means that Cohen, your mate for ten years, didn't get aything special about this significant day?” “Here you go again. You're always too qu
Eero's perspectiveClenching my fist, I let my anger in charge. In the heat of the moment when I was fuming mad at them, my wolf howled in sharp pain, sending a message to everyone in the pack about what just happened."You mind linked everyone? Are you fucking insane?!" Cohen didn't expect I would ever fight back."Why not? You had it coming! You fucking deserve it!!" I shouted back while standing up from the floor."I think this is the perfect timing you break up with that piece of worthless she-wolf, baby." I was caught off-guard by the mean words that escaped from my sister's lips. I thought she was crying as she looked down at the comforter, her shoulders shaking. It turned out that she was laughing!"Serra, please. Leave this to me, baby." Cohen put on a gentle smile on his face when turning to my bitchy sister."Why? Did I say something wrong? You said you wanted to break up with her because she's like a dumbass. Why don't you just tell her that now?" Serra shouted at Cohen, l
Eero's perspective"You wanna get rid of me after cheating?! Guess what! You're still stuck with me because something's wrong with your rejection! If you continue to hurt my wolf, then you're leaving no choice but to damn end you!" I shouted at Cohen, but my wolf was so weak that I couldn't shift and my claws wouldn't even come out. My father pulled me away from Cohen, and then gave me a sharp slap! While I held my cheek and looked at him in disbelief, he proceeded to punch me in the gut, causing me to crouch in pain. It took me a few moments to recover from the shock of these unexpected beatings."D-Dad, will this matter end the same way as always? Will I still be the one to be punished? Even when it's clear that I'm the victim here?" Wearing a bitter smile, I asked with a shaking voice. I looked up to stop a tear from falling. Yet it ended up escaping from my eyes. With his jaw clenched, Alpha Ameo, my father, charged me with a dagger look. It felt like my heart sunk to the bot
Eero's perspectiveI breathed in deeply and then out slowly. I needed to do that because if not, it felt like I would collapse. “Alpha Ameo, is Luna Vera telling the truth? You will pass down the ruling right to Serra? Isn't the firstborn of the Alpha supposed to inherit the ruling right?! If so, I should be the next Alpha of Moon River instead of that mistress!” For the second time around, my father hit my cheeks with the back of his palm. I tasted blood in my mouth.“Enough is enough! I asked you to stop it already. I am the Alpha and your father. You should be following my order. Saying no to me or questioning my decision was never your option! If Cohen failed to cut your bonds as mate, I would do it if you're pushing me to my limit!” My father snarled at me savagely.I was so lost and confused. They had asked me a thousand times today whether I lost my mind. And right now, it felt like I did, in fact, have lost my mind. “Father?" Ichuckled bitterly. "You know what is funny to me
Eero's perspective“Yes, I do. I love her very much. While I live happily with her, you'll suffer from our weakening bond. So you see? You're the one cursed by the Moon Goddess, Eero.”My wolf felt so weak that I had to lie flat on the cold floor of the dungeon, biting my lower lip in frustration. Just as I was about to close my eyes and turn my back against the bar, I picked up the scent of Serra. "How is your new sleeping quarter, my dearest sister? Are you liking it here so far? Throughout the territory of Moon River Pack, this place suits you best, for it reeks of unpleasant smell just like you!" Serra chuckled. With my eyes closed, I tried to convince myself that she was not actually standing in front of my prison cell. But with her scent being all over the place, I could hardly calm down.To make things worse, she kept provoking me."I really can't take your arrogance any more, bitch! You're already locked up in here! Yet you still acted like you're superior to me?" Having en
Eero's perspective"A d-damn whore? I am your daughter, mom! How can you insult me like that? I know I'm never your favorite, but really, mom? Even when you caught Trevor and Serra red-handed, you'd still toss the blame on me?" Anger sparked in her eyes as she cut the distance between us within just one step. Then she taunted me with her finger. "My daughter? Do you know what I hate hearing the most? Do you know I've kept begging the Moon Goddess to be merciful, so I wouldn't hear those words anymore?"Luna Vera probably had saw the pain that crossed my eyes, because I noticed that she made a subtle nod. "Yes, those words. I hate hearing you call me mother. I hate it whenever I'm reminded that you're my daughter, because you bring nothing but disgrace to our family. You should have died that night. We shouldn't have taken care of you. If only I knew you'd always cause us trouble, I would have chosen to abandon you that day!" She said between gritted teeth.There was no trace of her
Eero's perspectiveI was then taken out of the dungeon by several omegas for a bath, which I refused to have. But being held by those she-wolves, I couldn't fight back. "I didn't know you're hiding these curves underneath your horrid clothing," Luna Vera commented. For the first time, she was delighted to see me. I could even see how proud she was for how I turned out looking this fine after she made me wear this lacy white silk dress. "If you want to make me proud of you, then do this wholeheartedly, Eero. You'll make no fuss and leave with them obediently, as if you're doing this according to your will." She whispered to my ears softly, as if attempting to enchant me to buy her evil plan. Just as I was about to open my mouth and say something, a sob escaped my lips. "No-uh. I don't want to hear any more of your crying, Eero." Luna Vera pressed her forefinger against my lips quickly. "You won't be so selfish to see the cruel Alpha burn our pack down, right? Do you want Alpha Clau
Eero's perspectiveUtter shock was an understatement of the way that everyone looked at me. I bit my lower lip and didn't dare to look up to Alpha Claudius. “What's this supposed to mean, Alpha Ameo? Do you mean to insult Alpha Claudius and Blood Moon?" The man next to Alpha Claudius asked. He must be Alpha Claudius' beta and right-hand man, given his reaction and the pinned-up crest on his chest. “Beta Caspian. I-I don't know where she got those marks. But I know clearly that my daughter Eero, is still a virgin, just as I promised!” Alpha Ameo said, stuttering. Claudius, the said cruel Alpha, remained silent while his beta did all the questioning. But I could feel him staring at me, his eyes never leaving me. “Then explain the marks.” The beta sounded cold and fire-eating.“I really don't know, Beta. Those are probably insect bites she got from her patrolling duties.” My father Alpha Ameo continued to lie even when it was crystal clear that the beta in front of him would never buy
