The car sped at a high velocity. I knew about Rider, a car modified to absorb the energy of the driver and passengers to speed up faster. I knew I was riding it now because my head felt increasingly dizzy. My stomach felt worse and worse. My emotions were scattered all over the place.

“Answer me!” Alpha Alastair roared.

My body jolted at the sound of his voice directly in front of my face. Trembling, I tried my best to remain strong.

“I’m not,” I whimpered.

“What?”

“I’m not a virgin,” I confessed to him.

He froze upon hearing my words. He gripped my neck tighter, and I saw his eyes burning bright crimson. His other hand dug into my inner thigh.

“Who took it?” he grunted.

I shook my head, refusing to answer him.

“Answer me, who took it?” He asked, his words slow and deliberate.

I grew more uneasy and chaotic. In the midst of my swirling emotions, I opened my mouth slowly. I didn’t know what to say to him. But his gaze bore into mine, making me obey him in a silent command.

“Alpha Gabriel of Silver Moon Pack,” I spilled the truth.

His eyes narrowed at me. But before he could ask further, my stomach churned. It must be from the pressure of this Rider. Unable to hold it back any longer, I vomited. The liquid spilled from my mouth, spoiling me and Alpha Alastair, who had been pressing against me.

“Agh! You cursed woman!” He roared in frustration and pushed me away.

***

I didn’t know what else I had done wrong. Whatever the Moon Goddess wanted from me, she had fated me to a terrible life. So bad that I no longer knew what to do.

The rage of Alpha Alastair threw me into the underground dungeon of the Blood Moon Pack. He was furious upon learning that I was no longer a virgin, compounded because I soiled his clothes and car.

Instead of a luxurious room in the packhouse or the title of Luna, he left me alone in a filthy, dusty corner of the underground prison. If I lied about my virginity, would it have earned me better treatment? Probably not.

‘It seems he no longer wants me as his mate,’ I said to Mythril.

‘Yes, but he already bought you, so he’ll likely use you for something else,’ Mythril sighed.

‘As a punching bag, maybe.’

I didn’t know how long I had been curled up behind the iron bars. These bars were specially designed for werewolves. The scent of wolfsbane poison pierced my senses, a scent that would make any werewolf dizzy and powerless to fight.

There were no windows or ceiling gaps to mark the time. I could only guess from the guards who brought me food twice a day. It seemed a week had passed. Alpha Alastair hadn’t even spoken, as if he had forgotten he had purchased me for a million dollars’ price.

Probably at night, a guard returned with food through the small slot under the iron bars. But this time, the scent of the food was strikingly different from before. It smelled of calming mint and pine. Strange, because the food appeared to be the same porridge with cold broth as any other day.

What made the smell different? I walked toward the food tray. As I pulled the tray, I realized something was off about the spoon. A tissue was wrapped around the spoon as though it were a dish in a fancy restaurant.

I furrowed my brow but still opened the tissue wrap. Now I became even more certain that the scent didn’t come from the broth but from the tissue itself. When I unfolded the tissue, I was startled, my eyes widening.

‘Get out now!’ That was the message written on the tissue.

My heart leaped with hope. My hands reached for the cell door’s lock, and sure enough, the padlock was gone. When had this happened? What exactly was going on?

‘It must have been the guard who brought the food earlier,’ Mythril exclaimed.

Without a second thought, I opened the latch of the iron cell door. Despite the scent of wolfsbane piercing my nose, the mint and pine scent overpowered it, giving me newfound strength. I dashed out, passing through the cell door. My steps echoed through the filthy cell hallway as I made my way toward the exit.

When I pushed open the slightly ajar iron door, there were two guards lying helpless on the ground. I glanced right and left, unsure of where to go. To the right, far ahead, I saw residential houses. That seemed to be the Blood Moon Pack’s packhouse, clearly not an ideal escape route.

Yet, I saw a light toward the forest behind the prison building on my left. I chased that light without much thought. My feet raced through the line of tall trees.

***

“There she is!”

A Gamma warrior shouted as he ran toward me. Two other guards followed him. My first instinct was to run deeper into the forest.

“Stop!” They ran after me with increasing speed. I kept running, my bare feet bruised as they hit the ground between the trees. I glanced back again and realized they were getting closer.

Suddenly, a gust of wind brought the scent of spicy mint and calming pine to my nose. The next second, someone jumped and tackled one of the warriors. He sent him tumbling to the ground.

“Keep running!” The man roared at me as he stood up to face the remaining two guards.

My eyes widened as I saw a man blocking my pursuers. He was alone, fighting against three men. I froze for a moment to get a better look at him, but I didn’t recognize him.

I felt like I had met him, but I didn’t know when or where. One thing I knew for sure was I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

He fought in fierce moves, taking down each guard one by one. When a guard fell to the ground, the other two chased me again. I turned to run again, but the man lunged at the second guard.

He tackled the guard from behind, and they rolled on the ground for a moment. The man grabbed the guard’s waist and then threw him toward the Gamma. While the two guards curled on the ground, the other from behind attacked the man. The man elbowed him and struck his thigh, then slammed him to the ground.

“Keep running!”

Hearing his roar, I turned and ran, leaving him behind.

A guard held him down while the Gamma pummeled the man’s stomach.‘He’s losing numbers!’ Mythril leapt restlessly in my mind.I bit my lower lip as I watched the pain on the man’s face with each punch from the Gamma. The emotion inside me grew. With raging breaths, I pondered the moral decision I should choose.Could I help him? Was I strong enough to fight them? I groaned when finally I pushed my feet to run back toward them.‘Yes, girl! Let’s kick those asses!’ Mythril cheered.I ran until I was close, but still at a safe distance. Amid the chaos of the fight, I paused in front of a tree. I've never done it before, but the strength in me grew larger in each second. My confidence surged up. I hugged the large tree. My arms wrapped around its trunk.‘For those who grow, there will be wilt.’ I focused all my thoughts on the tree I was holding. The

    AlexaI mourned my fate in the corner of this small boat. My hands wrapped around my knees as my tears refused to stop.I didn’t know why all of this was happening to me. I had never felt full affection from my parents in my entire life. My mother died when I was little, protecting me from a rogue attack. My father, the former Alpha, passed away six months ago due to a heart attack.Since my father died, my stepmother and stepsister treated me as a servant in the house my parents left behind. I thought I only needed to endure until I turned 18 and gained a strong wolf. Turns out, I couldn’t control my wolf’s strength, making me seem as if I was wolfless, unable to transform.The day I was taken away was the day I was supposed to reclaim my inheritance rights to my parents’ house and belongings. That day, I was supposed to meet my father’s lawyer. But this event clearly prevented me from doing so.My hand supported my forehead. My tears flowed as bitter laughter accompanied my journey.

    Alexa“Are you some sort of courier for the Silver Moon Pack? Or maybe Alpha Gabriel ordered you to pick me up?” I asked Harlow on the bus. The man still had a stiff expression, his forehead furrowed. After three hours of travel, he still sat silently beside me, not answering a single one of my questions. His arms were crossed over his chest, and his eyelids remained closed, ignoring me. “Hey, where are we actually going? Are we going back to Silver Moon?” This time, I gently squeezed his arm. Once again, a jolt of electricity sparked from the touch of our skin. He jolted awake, and I reflexively backed off. His eyes widened, and he clicked his tongue in irritation. “Can you stop that?” he snapped at me. “That’s not me,” I shook my head innocently.“Then stop talking,” he grumbled. Before he could close his eyes again, I leaned toward him. My head now turned, wedging my body between the narrow seat space. Without touching him, I asked him again. “At least answer me. Or are you p

    Alexa“You can’t leave me here alone. Aren’t you supposed to protect me?” My eyes widened with a deep frown on my forehead. I looked into his dark eyes, which I couldn’t decipher. It was as if a blazing fire was hidden behind them. His jaw tightened. I thought he would change his decision, but he shook his head.“I have to go. There are things I need to do elsewhere. Besides, it’s better if we split up so those Alphas won’t easily track us down,” he scowled.“But—But how?” I stammered. “Go inside and ask for a man named Mr. Moris. He’ll help you,” he replied indifferently. The thought of entering a strange place alone and meeting a stranger filled me with anxiety. I bit my lower lip, furrowing my brow, and stared at Harlow, trying to persuade him one more time. “Please, stay with me just a little longer. At least until I meet Mr. Moris and know that everything will be safe,” I pleaded with him. Harlow raised an eyebrow. “If this place isn’t safe, do you think being with me would

    AlexaFor a moment, the three of us were engulfed in tense silence while the people around us continued to cheer for Jo's victory or cry over her opponent's loss. I blinked, opened my mouth soundlessly, and Mr. Moris only squinted at me.‘I knew this was going to be a bad idea!’ Mythril complained.“Do you need money or something? She didn’t have it. She was just sold to an Alpha and ran away,” said Harlow, his brows furrowed.“Bad news, everyone has problems in this neutral zone. I don’t give a damn where you heard of me, but if you think I’ll give her a damn bed and free food, let alone train her,” he caught a breath, glancing back and forth between me and Harlow, “then you’re gravely mistaken. She’s not good enough,” the man scoffed.‘Not good enough,’ Mythril whined in my head, echoing those words in my head.I furrowed my brows and bowed my head. Was I truly worthless? Was I destined to be a punching bag for the rest of my life?The man turned away, facing several men who were sha

    AlexaI stood face-to-face with a girl named Jo on top of the square ring. A black iron fence surrounded us like a tight cage. It was clear they wouldn't let either of us leave freely. The choices were to leave on a stretcher or walk out with the mark of victory.My heart pounded in rapid beats, and my breathing grew heavier. After a few minutes of warm-up in the locker room earlier, I might still have a chance to win. Jo couldn’t possibly be any stronger after her fight against the big guy earlier, right?Both of my fists rose in the air. They trembled after last week's training session, which didn’t end up well for me. Bruises on my body healed in just a day, but that didn’t make me a better fighter. Always the same weak Alexa.“Fight!”Our eyes locked with unwavering determination. I moved my feet with small jumps. The ring turned out to be soft, allowing me to move easily.Jo threw some punches at me, but I dodged. Her punch aimed at my right cheek, so I evaded to the left. The sa

Compared to an Omega, an ordinary human was physically weaker. With wounds like that, how could she survive?Her body was bleeding crimson, and I could only stare at the engrossed view. The crowd around me roared, expressing their disappointment at my victory.‘What the hell? Why are they going crazy like this?’ Mythril voiced its protest.“I…” Amid my panic, my voice stuttered.Somehow, the noise died down. The shouting began to quiet, and the crowd parted, making an open way through the crowd. I turned to see the middle of the room, and the once-curses shifted to murmurs.Mr. Moris walked calmly through the room. He opened the iron gate of the ring and stepped inside, accompanied by two men carrying an empty stretcher. They looked like medics, and they took her body away.After they left, Mr

Isn’t that dangerous?” asked the healers, stuttering and gaping at my decision.“Please reconsider. A healing ritual on a human could be fatal. Your energy might be too overwhelming for her to handle. What if she dies?” remarked one of the other staff.“She could also turn into a half-lycan, and your soul might erode,” Harlow added with a soft crease on his forehead.“Will you help me?” I whispered to him. I turned to Harlow and looked into his eyes with a pleading gaze. Mythril took a sharp breath.Harlow stared at me. Each passing second felt like Jo’s life was slipping away faster. I could feel the girl’s life energy growing weaker in my grasp.“If we do it together, I believe the risks will be significantly reduced. You could act as a conduit to channel the excess energy

    AlexaHarlow’s eyes burned every inch of my skin. It was crazy because I should be wet with cold. Contrary to outward appearances, I was instead agitated by the heat that ignited the fire inside me.His hand grabbed my hand that was covering my chest. He pulled me with a gentle tug close to his body. Like invisible magic, I obeyed with small steps until I was now in his arms.“Is this real?” he asked as his thumb brushed my cheek.The scent of his body enveloped the surrounding air. Mint and pine, a scent I’d never forget. Mythril had now turned into a fiery energy that coursed through my veins with great anticipation.“What’s real?” I asked as I raised my head to him.“You. Us. Here, together with no barriers anymore. Free. It’s too good to be true.” Harlow frowned.There was a gleam of fear in his dark eyes. The sudden heavy rain in spring made me worry too. It was as if we could be separated again at any time. Somehow, I felt that there was something dark still stalking us. But I c

    AlexaIt took two days for Lorraine and Mrs. Gertrude to move. They left the Dawson family home and returned to the Oswald family home on the outskirts of the village. To avoid unwanted drama, the guards escorted them during their return.There was actually a slight sense of pity for them. In the past, when they acted arrogantly towards me, I hated them so much. But seeing them in such a miserable state now, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for them.‘Ugh, can’t you make up your mind?’ Mythril sounded displeased with the pity settling on my chest.‘I can’t help it. They look miserable. They said Mrs. Gertrude cried endlessly.’ I thought while gazing at the tip of the Dawson family home’s roof from my bedroom window in Gabriel’s house.‘At least they weren’t executed,’ Mythril snorted.On the third day, Mr. Pascoe and Harlow came to pick me up. I descended to the ground floor in an emerald green dress and a small bag of clothes. Gabriel was already waiting for me downstairs.“Are you rea

I hoped you found solace and peace upon you from Moon Goddess.” My hand squeezed Gabriel’s, which felt damp with sweat.As soon as I finished saying that, my heart pounded. As if my heart was about to burst out of my ribcage. My emotions were the same as when I jumped off a cliff. My chest burned like fire, spreading lava throughout my veins.Gabriel groaned like me. One of my hands clutched at my chest, while my fist pressed against it, hoping to lessen the pain.The veins on his neck and temples bulged. I didn’t know this could be physically dangerous for us. The pain made it difficult to breathe, as if I were drowning in a bottomless ocean.Tears streamed down my cheeks even though I tried to hold them back. Even Gabriel showed the same symptoms. We cried and howled. Zeev echoed a wave of pain that was met with the same energy from Mythril.Our two energies then displayed a silvery light so thin it was almo

    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

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

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.
