Romero

I was never a morning person. My wolf preferred to be active at night, for whatever reason. Since fully transforming, I was more like an owl rather than a werewolf.

I always woke up at nine or ten o'clock in the morning. Especially today, after a night of wild and passionate pleasure with Brianna, I just woke up at 11, when the sun was already high.

When I couldn't find her on the bed next to me, I raised my body with a cry of disappointment. Her nightgown from the night before folded at the side of the bed rather than scattered on the floor.

"Damn it."

Despite feeling disappointed, I tried to think naively positive. I hoped my future Luna was strolling around and exploring her new surroundings in our area. With that optimism in my heart, I went to shower and change into my black suit.

After a while, my steps descended the stairs and skipped around the house. I looked for her, but she was nowhere. The disappointment was so in

    AlexaAfter walking for some time, my feet hurt. Since passing through the outer magical fog for over two hours, I still hadn’t found a bus stop or public transportation. Although I had come across a few cabins on the edge of the forest, it seemed I was still quite far from the human’s town center.The First Light area and Southern Star were two different cities. The distance was around 50 miles. Walking to Southern Star would have taken roughly fifteen hours and two hours by bus, according to the map app. So, of course, I had to look for the nearest bus stop.Exhausted and drenched in sweat, I moved away from the main road, headed deeper into the forest, and sat by a small river. I sipped some river water and splashed my body in the shallows. The cool sensation flowed over my sweaty body, and I whispered a gratitude to the Moon Goddess.Something piqued my interest as I climbed deeper up the riverbank. The breeze carried the scent of

    AlexaDespite my doubts, my stomach was extremely hungry. My wolf's instincts couldn’t pass up the abundant food, especially with the enticing smells of roasted bacon. I followed them to the campfire area and sat in a circle on the grass with them.“What’s your name? My name is Jack,” he said as he sat cross-legged.“Brianna,” I murmured back. Jack then simply nodded.“Give me your hand, so I can see how bad it is.” Harlow extended his hand.“You can’t heal it, not without proper ointment. Besides, it will heal in no time.” I was still skeptical.“I don’t recall you being this noisy.” Harlow rolled his eyes. “Why did your words differ from your wolf’s? She asked for more hugs, but you keep this trust issue facade.”“Oh, so you’re brave, huh? A girl like you? Pretending to be innocent all this time?” Jack laughed to tease me.“No! He’s lying! I never asked for a hug!” My cheeks felt burning, and I was certain they could see how red my face was now.“Really?” Harlow smirked.His stateme

    AlexaThe man cocked his weapon again and aimed it at Harlow. A harsh warning and the threat of a gun were terrifying. "Mr. Moris?" My jaw dropped. Though I was relieved to see a familiar face, the rifle he carried was no mere toy. That scared the hell out of me. "Hey, sir. It’s me, Harlow. The guy who escorted her to your club, remember?" "Yes, but now you’ve become a rogue, so don’t touch her," Mr. Moris growled in the same arrogant tone he used earlier when Harlow spoke. "We once had dinner at the same table in your club, don’t you remember that?" Harlow frowned as he studied the middle-aged man. "Yes, I’m the club owner, and it’s my duty to protect all my staff. Bad news, you’re not my employee." Mr. Moris did not lower his tone and remained alert with the gun aimed at Harlow.The dark-haired man stood silent, perhaps weighing something before letting me go. "Alright, alright. I won’t hold you back," Harlow stepped back a few steps, raising his hands to his sides. "Harlow!

    Alexa“Return to Silver Moon? Join another pack? Have you lost your mind?”My tone rose, signaling that I completely disagreed with the idea. An idea I would never entertain, not even in my wildest thoughts. I had sworn to myself never to return to Silver Moon or join any other pack.I had even shared this intention with Mr. Moris. He should have known about my desire to be a rogue without a pack. That’s why I was surprised he still brought up such an idea.“It’s the safest option. We don’t know how long Alpha Alastair will keep hunting for you. You obviously can’t stay in the club forever without stepping outside.”“No, no, no. I won’t!” I tightened my grip. “I won’t leave the club at all. If you can do it, so can I.”Hearing my argument, Mr. Moris clicked his tongue in annoyance. “Come on, Brianna. Don’t use me as an example.” He

    AlexaI blinked my eyes and slowly woke up. Yes, it was all just a dream.“Yes,” I answered from inside the room. I hurriedly opened the door and saw Jo.“Hey, are you okay?” Jo asked.“Yes, I’m fine. Sorry if I made you worry.” I gave a weak smile, leaning my head against the door.“Thank goodness. Last night I was terrified and hid in my room the whole time. When I found out you left the club, I was afraid you wouldn’t come back.” Jo stood on tiptoe to hug me briefly.I laughed and returned her warm embrace. “No, don’t worry. I’m still happy staying at this club.”“That’s good then. I’d be so sad if I lost my only friend here.” Jo let go of the hug and sighed in relief.“No, I’ll stay here,” I said.“Have you been crying? Your face looks terrible.” Jo frown

    GabrielI couldn’t hide my amazement when I saw the person I had been searching for all this time. Standing right in the dim lights of the club, I could see Alexa’s face in perfection. Her wavy brown hair, her soft oval face, her pearly white skin, and her bright gaze. My wolf even recognized Alexa. The shock turned into a burst of joy. My feelings overflowed, and I couldn’t wait to embrace my mate. The graceful Alexa Dawson had returned! “Alexa!” I grinned.Although I couldn’t fathom how the hell she worked as a server in this club. To hell with all of that. As long as she returned to Silver Moon as Luna, no one would know about her past as a waitress here. “Excuse me, sir. Here is your room key,” she said, handing us a key.Huh? I had called her name, but she ignored me and handed me the room key. My joy turned into shock mixed with anger. This woman didn’t acknowledge me? I grabbed Alexa’s wrist as she handed me the key. My breath was heavy with anger at her indifference toward

    AlexaJo saw me pass by, and she furrowed her brows as if asking how I was. Earlier, I was saved because Jo called Mr. Moris to stop Alpha Gabriel in the front lobby. Not wanting to worry her again, I nodded to signal that I was fine. Yes, I could still control the situation. ‘Can you control your feelings?’ Mythril snorted. I bit the inside of my cheek to suppress the itch to argue with Mythril. Once I reached the kitchen, I clutched the tray. My body leaned against one side of the double kitchen doors. My blood rushed to the tips of my fingers. Earlier this afternoon, I never expected to meet Alpha Gabriel again here. I knew somehow Alpha Alastair would come back, but Alpha Gabriel was a horrible surprise. For me, this encounter was far too soon. Back when I was forced to leave the pack, I thought our reunion would take place in five to seven years. Maybe then, we would fight in endless battle so I could take revenge on my stepmother and stepsister. Who would have thought he’d a

    RomeroSince noon, I had lost myself in thought in the passenger seat. My elbow rested on the edge of the Rider’s window while my gaze kept scanning for Brianna’s figure. In my mind, perhaps I could find her if I kept watching the roadside.I returned to the Southern Star Club, but the result was daunting. Brianna had not come back to the club, and Mr. Moris had received no news. I could only hope the money I promised Mr. Moris would be enough to ensure he brought Brianna back to me.“Alpha Romero, the packhouse called and is looking for us. All the invited meeting guests have arrived and are waiting.”Hearing that, I exhaled a long sigh. Beta Julius wasn’t able to assist much in finding Alexa, either. Whether her name was Brianna or Alexa, I didn’t care anymore. I only wanted one thing—to meet that girl again and marry her in the proper celebration.“Yes, let’s go home first,” I blurted. Hearing the command, Beta Julius turned the vehicle around and drove faster.After the meeting and

    AlexaI sat beside Gabriel’s bed, lost in thought. The blonde man still had his eyelids closed, his breathing steady. Two days had passed since that cursed wedding day, yet he had not regained consciousness. The wound from Harlow’s attack had a severe impact on him.It was understandable, since Harlow had torn through a vital point in his neck. If Mrs. Geeny had been late to help with the regenerative ritual, Gabriel might have died. Fortunately, he survived enough to go to the hospital.I gazed out the window into the dark night. The night had grown late, and the time showed exactly eight in the evening. I had been here for thirty minutes, observing his unchanged condition. Regardless, my bond with him compelled me to ensure his safety, even if I was slightly reluctant.While Gabriel and Harlow’s case was being discussed, Mr. Pascoe took over as acting Alpha. Until the matter of succession settled and punishment decided, nothing was certain. Even my house had to wait for the elders’

    Romero“Alpha Romero, with all due respect, why were you so sure that all this was not a fabrication by two female witches?” asked Mr. Darius, still with his false bow.I reconsidered everything they had shown me during my time here. This Silver Moon Pack could be an unfriendly environment, especially for the Omegas. These elders—I didn’t know what authority they had. But judging by their behavior, they were merely old people who interfered too much in the governance.My eyelids closed as I recalled all the memories of that wolf-head necklace. A precious heirloom from my father, now completely gone after revealing the memories it saw in silence. The necklace, passed down from my grandfather to my father, was given to a woman named Diana instead of my mother.The story of a true mate who ran away from my father, driving him mad. It turned out that the woman was the sister of the elder in the Silver Moon Pack.Was that why the Moon Goddess had destined me to meet Alexa? This was a golde

    AlexaI was still watching the two young girls. Invisible, I saw everything that happened about the necklace. Everything related to the wolf-head pendant and Harlow unfolded one by one.“I know, I know. This is too much to ask, I know, but I don’t have a choice. I’m dying, Trudy.” Diana’s hands gripped Gertrude’s arms. “I don’t have time.” Diana’s tears fell, and she struggled to form words.“They banished me. My parents, they didn’t want anything from me or my son. They said I was a disgrace to them.” She sobbed.“Oh no, Diana. Maybe it was only temporary. They are respected nobles in the pack, and I had worked as their servant for five years. Not once did they ever hit me,” Gertrude tried to reassure her. “Besides, you are their blood relative. There’s no way they can abandon their child and grandchild.”“No, Trudy. This was real. They wouldn’t listen to me.” Diana lowered her tear-streaked face.“I need to save this child. I would do anything for him, but I’m dying, Trudy. Please,

    AlexaHarlow now stood beside me. He had replaced Lorraine, who had now sat back in her original seat. In his hand, a silver necklace with a wolf-head pendant reflected a soft light on his face. Harlow turned to me, seeking support.‘It’s okay, Harlow. Let’s do this.’ I nodded at him while voicing my conviction.He nodded in return. I looked at the brass cauldron. The silver water had been replaced with fresh liquid. The servants and Mrs. Geeny cleansed it back to its pure state.During the re-cleansing of the cauldron, people used the time to take a quick break. At least the reception food wasn’t wasted, and the guests ate until nothing was left.During the break, to avoid unpleasant remarks, I checked on Alpha Gabriel’s condition. He was still unconscious from the sedative. I didn’t know what would happen when he woke up, but he would be shocked.There was a slight feeling of pity for him. Of course, this mate bond couldn’t disappear until we performed the rejection ritual. After th

    AlexaI was still standing in the view of Lorraine’s memory. The memory fog made me experience firsthand what happened in the past as Lorraine. From the memory in October 2022, anyone affected by the memory fog would understand what Alpha Gabriel did to cheat in the alpha trial.Harlow became the victim. He would also be considered as an accomplice who helped Gabriel in the test. Yet, Harlow was not the only one who would be accused, but also the woman in front of me.“Do you hear me?” asked Mrs. Gertrude to Lorraine.“Sorry, Mama. What was that?” Lorraine asked Mrs. Gertrude.The woman groaned while rolling her eyes upward. “I said, have you given that cake to Beta Drake?”“Oh, not yet,” Lorraine replied, while tucking strands of her hair behind her ear. The next second, Lorraine picked up a transparent nail polish from the table. She ignored Mrs. Gertrude.“Why not

    AlexaEveryone in the ballroom shook their heads. Their voices sounded like the buzzing of a swarm of bees rather than the howling of wolves. No one believed Lorraine’s words.“Ms. Lorraine, if Alpha Gabriel cheated during the alpha trial, why did you stay silent even though you knew? You even worked in the secretariat office as the alpha’s assistant.” Mr. Pascoe asked Lorraine, his eyes widening.“He was still the best candidate for alpha.” Lorraine answered with difficulty, her voice hoarse.“Did I hear that correctly? It’s not up to you to decide. There’s a reason we determine the alpha through a series of trials.” Mr. Pascoe’s forehead furrowed. He showed his disapproval of Lorraine’s blind devotion displayed in public.“Now, after the duel challenge, Alpha Gabriel lost to his opponent in the final alpha trial.

    AlexaThe wedding dress hung up as before in the dressing room. Although there was a slight regret for today’s events, this dress was beautiful. Such a pity—perhaps another time, with the right person.My steps guided me out of the dressing room. My eyes still felt swollen and sore, but the elders did not want to keep waiting too long. I had promised to sit in the ballroom obediently as soon as I changed my clothes.With a green shirt and denim pants, I was no longer a bride. Just an ordinary Lycan girl about to face the trial and investigation of the old men and women. They had the authority to control the alpha, luna, beta, and others in times of crisis like this. Funny, as if their power was greater than the alpha’s, but such were the rules to prevent anyone from abusing power.The elders cleared their throats as soon as they saw me. As I entered the ballroom, the guards closed the door behind me. The room’s decorations

    HarlowI closed my eyelids. The pain was too heavy, pressing down to the very ends of the nerves in my brain. If only I could survive tonight, the wound on my arm might heal within weeks. Everything would return to normal as if there had never been a wound.“Alpha Gabriel, did Harlow challenge you to a duel for the alpha title?” Mr. Pascoe’s voice sounded hesitant.“Yes. Alexa and Lorraine are the witnesses.” Alpha Gabriel’s voice was arrogant amid his ragged breaths.“If Harlow can defeat you until you pass out or die, you will step down from your title as alpha." Alexa voiced her threat between sobs.Gabriel burst into laughter. He scoffed at me, helpless on the floor from the pain. I bit my lower lip, trying to find a moment of calm to regain even a sliver of strength my wolf longed for.“You all see for yourselves! Harlow is already lying there, in his last breaths. Look at his severe wounds. I doubt he can defeat me.” Gabriel scoffed.“As long as he hasn’t passed out, he still ha

  • The Supreme Luna   73: A Challenge

    HarlowBack to present time…I did not expect Gabriel to be this reckless. He had lost control of the situation and was ready to wipe us all out. Instead of keeping a living witness silent with threats, he attempted a killing spree.“Do you think you will survive after doing all this madness? Do you think you could get away from punishment later?” I asked, raising both fists in front of my chest.“Of course! Because I am stronger than you, and I am the alpha.” Gabriel grinned.In an instant, Alexa and Lorraine ran out of the dressing room with panicked screams. Gabriel lunged at me. We rolled across the floor, crashed into a table, and scattering make ups. Pinned by the table, I stopped our movement in an upper hand position for me.I straddled his body, trapping him beneath me. His claws slashed at my ribs beside my left chest. He thought he could rip out my heart.Unfortunately, it wasn’t strong enough to make me surrender. My claws retaliated, slashing deep into the side of his fac
