“THEY cannot be disturbed. That is the Alpha’s order. Once the trio are together, no one is supposed to interrupt them. The last one who tried was sent flying out of the house, barely alive. I’m sorry, Katriona. I hope you understand,” Jace said apologetically after seeing Valerie and I in front of an old house.

“Once they are done with their business inside, I will inform the Alpha that you paid a visit. For the meantime, please go back to his house.”

The trio Jace was talking about were Clyde, Duke, and Alexander. They were called ‘the indestructible trio in the North’.

“The one you are keeping hostage inside is related to me. There are still many important things I need to clear with him, things related to my life that your alpha doesn’t know about,” I reasoned out without plans of backing out. “This is about me, too, Jace. I have the right to be there and interrogate him myself. If I wait until later, knowing your alpha’s temper, he might kill Bernard before I get the answers.”

    THE CONFIDENCE and strength Alexander had instilled in me last night all came crashing today. The very man who had built me up so high was the same man who dropped me down mercilessly.And just like how Chantal had pushed me off the stairs, I fell again with nothing to hold onto to save myself. The damage was bigger this time.It was like there were several invisible hands killing me through squeezing my heart.The laughter in Alexander’s voice as he talked about me, the cruel glimmer in his eyes as he compared me to Alison as if I was worth nothing compared to his mate, the savage words he just uttered, kept playing in my head along with Chantal’s voice and the look in her eyes when she talked about me to her lover.I didn’t know how I was able to crawl out of the basement.The next thing I knew, I was already at the gate. Valerie was still there and was chatting with Jace.“That was quick. Did the Alpha send you away?” Jace asked in a teasing tone.I wished it was as simple as sendi

    MY HEARTBEAT thudded in my head. I would rather hear Katriona raise her voice at me just like before. I would rather see her lose control or at least, see her try to reveal those little claws to hurt me than see her this quiet.It was like I was looking at a ghost or at Katriona’s empty shell. Gone were the familiar warmth and glow in her eyes.She was not just shattered. She was… ruined.Did she unlock all of her memories while she was gone?“Baby…” I uttered in a pained voice.Heck, I had fought against the bravest and strongest wolves in the past. I always knew what to do. I had rebuilt the North into what it was now. I conquered the rogues. I conquered their demons. Now, they were on the hills, working for me.I had ruled and dealt with thousands of people with confidence and certainty.But tonight, I didn’t know what to do. For the first time after so many goddamn years, this helplessness snuck its way back to my heart, rendering me motionless.When Katriona saw me try to reach o

    “A WEEK?” Every muscle in my body tensed up as pain burned through me. I couldn’t even last a day without seeing Katriona and here was my friend, casually telling me this bullshit? I stood up, pacing the living room back and forth. “No fucking way! There has to be another solution, Clyde. I can inject her with my blood. What do you think? A vampire’s blood is different. You are aware of that. Since we are mates, maybe it can help-““Only if Katriona wants it,” Clyde answered. “The main problem is her body has been rejecting any food and drinks. You said so yourself. She will certainly reject your blood too. I personally don’t recommend it. It’s too risky. It can make her situation worse. If she is a vampire or a human, it would work. No doubt about that. But she isn’t like that.”“Then what the hell am I supposed to do now?” I shook my head. “I can’t let her go, Clyde. I don’t know how!”That was suicide.Just the mere thought of it was already sucking the air out of me. I had lived w

    GRAY had become the only color I knew for years until Katriona splashed other colors into my life. Now, those colors were everywhere around me. If she were to leave this place, I might revert to my old self, knowing just one color.Beautiful women were everywhere but women who possessed a heart and soul as tender as hers were rare.Goddamn it. This was harder than going to war. I just started living again. And now, I would have to go back to being a breathing corpse again.But Clyde’s word’s made sense. No matter how I denied it.Katriona will live.That was the only thing that should matter. She was too young to wither away like this just because she fell in love with a bastard like me. She was only twenty-three. There was so much about life and about the world waiting for her to experience.I raised Katriona’s chin and stroked her cheeks with my fingers. “Princess, do you want to return to the city?”She blinked. That was the first reaction I got from her for days.I smiled even if

    “THERE are troops on both borders! They have broken down the barrier and are marching towards us, Alpha!”The alarm all over the North rang. My warriors stood in formation while the rogues came running in their wolf forms, encircling me and Katriona to keep us safe.I threw a swift glance at Clyde who seemed startled upon seeing the woman who broke his barrier. For a split second, I saw pain cross his eyes. It was obvious that he knew her but I don’t give a fuck.“Clyde! Come to your fucking senses!” Duke and I yelled before the latter departed, leading some of the warriors to face the invaders in the East.“I’m sorry,” he said in a low voice, still looking shaken.The mage cussed for the first time before casting another spell. The woman got hurt. Her body flew miles away from Clyde’s attack. Anger rose inside me. I didn’t care who she was, whether she was Clyde’s ‘the one who got away’. Right now, she was an enemy. Once I guaranteed Katriona’s safety, I would bury her and all of he

    (Katriona)‘YOU said that Katriona is unique! That she was born to be greater than the rest of the shifters! And I believed you! But what the hell is this? A three-colored fur? I shouldn’t have believed you! That thing only exists in your imagination! You’re a quack! Guards! Take this doctor out of here! I will make sure you lose your job for lying to me, you piece of shit!’ Dad yelled at the man wearing a white uniform. His chest heaved from anger.My heart thudded when I heard dad curse again. I clutched my teddy bear. All the kids my age were sent to the testing center today where a royal mage would check all of us. They said it’s to determine who would grow up as the best knights and the best lunas in the kingdom. Those children will be supported by the royal family believing that they would contribute a lot to the future of the kingdom.Dad came with me, boasting about Doctor Carriendo’s diagnosis of me when I was a baby. He was so happy when we left the estate. He was humming s

    “HOW long was I out?” I asked Dad.“Three days. I thought I’ve really lost you, darling.” The agony in Dad’s face was visible. But not wanting to show too much of his emotions, he stood up and cleared his throat. “Now that you are awake, let me report this to His Majesty. He’s been waiting to hear some good news for a while now. I’ll leave you with your mom. She’s been crying the whole time you were unconscious.”“Alright.”“Would you like a drink? Tell me what you need, honey. I’ll prepare them for you,” mom said after dad left.I shook my head. I was thirsty but I couldn’t trust them not to put anything in whatever I’d drink or eat.“No, mom. But thanks.” I pretended to cough. “I’m fine. I just want to rest more. I feel really weak right now.”She cupped my face. “The moon goddess must adore you so much, honey. Look at you, you’re still alive after all that.”There was a touch of sarcasm in her voice. I could detect it now. Artemis, my biological mom, died a few weeks after I was b

    (Alexander)“THE patient is in a very vulnerable condition right now. Her head was severely injured from the explosion. Like I said before, we wouldn’t know the severity of the situation unless she wakes up,” Doctor Pryce explained. “And after a couple of tests, we concluded that Lady Katriona is suffering from retrograde amnesia. It’s a type of medical condition which usually happens to humans. It was also the first time something like this had occurred to a wolf which is another proof of how weak Lady Katriona had gotten. That’s why she needs complete rest and understanding.”Doctor Pryce glanced at me before he went on. “It is difficult for lady Katriona to remember the recent events that happened to her. The only thing she seems to remember now are the memories that occurred in the past like being engaged to be married to Alpha Bradley.”Once again, I felt the crushing tightness in my chest as silence hung cold between us. I remembered how Katriona looked at me back in her hospita

    IT WAS past eight in the evening when I received a call from Clyde informing me about Willow and Katriona’s location. I teleported right away; my chest was still pounding.And there, I found the loveliest pregnant woman in the world.Katriona was in a yellow dress that barely reached her knees.God, it felt so nice to see her wearing bright colors again.She was standing in front of our home… back in the North.When she saw me, concern crossed her eyes as she started explaining, “I’m sorry. I didn’t want to leave. I mean how could I? That’s still technically my house. I only wanted to visit this place with Willow for a moment. She teleported us here but we lost track of the time wandering around. I also met the other kids again. They requested me to play the guitar and before I knew it, we were having lunch and snacks together.“When I finally wanted to come back, Willow got dizzy and we had to stay longer. The omegas called the doctor and guess what? She’s pregnant!” Katriona’s eyes

    (Alexander)“DID you see that, Xander? I won!”My smile widened when I saw Katriona’s eyes shone after beating a former warrior in chess. I loved to see her win and it was precisely because of this smile. Everyone in the room was just watching her as she stood up to greet me as if it was the most natural thing to do.I looked at the chessboard before smiling at her. I kissed her forehead. “You did great, love.”After Dane’s death more than a month ago, I thought I would see Katriona waver. She didn’t. She had only let herself mourn for a day and the next day; she started exploring knowing that her father wouldn’t like to see her wallow in misery.She drove around the city and in the nearby provinces all by herself. But of course, I was right there, following her secretly from afar. She had no problems still doing anything she wanted to do because she was naturally strong. It was just two weeks before she gave birth now but her little bump could pass as only five months.She traveled a

    MY STEPS slowed down when I finally saw him again. Today, he was no longer in that custom-styled suit. His leather shoes had been replaced by sneakers and he looked untidy for the first time. Gone was his regal aura.He didn’t look like a king anymore.But a lost old man.He was rocking himself back and forth while holding his mate’s photo as he stared at the clear sky from the window.I had always doubted his wife. And I’d already rehearsed about what I would tell him after I was able to show him her true colors. But it turned out that there was no need for that anymore. Beatrice had shown him all her darkness and this man bravely and foolishly accepted that darkness.I no longer had to ask if his black heart was finally breaking at last and if he was feeling that same agony that he put me and my mother through.Because it was already showing. His eyes had become swollen with tears. And the photo he was holding was already soaked with those tears.Now that I think about it, maybe Aug

    TO MY SURPRISE, there were more wolves who jumped down the gates and joined our pack. Half of them were the members of the Order. The others were the royal family’s warriors themselves. Alexander and I glanced at each other and nodded as we led the pack towards the mages.Clyde had blocked every spell thrown our way. The mages may possess strong powers but without them, their bodies were like those of humans. Compared to them, the shifters were still faster, especially me and my mate. And with Clyde blocking the attacks, we were able to charge forward.I sank my claws and teeth into the body of the first mage I saw and tore his arms apart before slamming him onto the wall before I proceeded to another mage.“Katriona!”I wouldn’t have stopped until I heard that voice.It was Rhodora.She stood a few meters away from me. But what caught my attention was the sword she was holding. Alexander had told me about it. It was the missing sword. The Legacy. The one from my ancestors.“No one hu

    (Katriona)R HAD one mistake. She may have been successful in masking her scent from my wolf but she left a drop of her blood on the floor. She was injured when she came here to spy on me herself. Her latest victims must have tried fighting so hard for their lives before they died in her hands.When Alexander called Clyde over, the mage did not waste time to prove himself. He still felt guilty for failing to cure my father and he was too eager to offer help in any way possible that tracing the owner of the blood did not take him much time.He was also inspired more than ever now since Willow was back on his side. I heard that they got separated after Willow decided to marry the man her parents had chosen for her who was also a shifter. It happened years ago. She was so afraid that her parents would disown her that she chose them over her own heart. Unfortunately, her husband sold her to the high-ranking mages. Since then, her life had fallen apart.Now that they were back in each oth

    Fifteen years ago…‘THAT’S ENOUGH, Johann! I’m begging you! Just hit me, okay? I would take it all! Please spare our son! Bradley is still too young for this!’ Beatrice screamed as she struggled to crawl on the floor to reach us.‘No, mom! I’ll be fine,’ I mouthed and tried to smile to reassure her despite the blood dripping in my head. ‘This will be over soon. Just please... look the other way for now. I can still take it.’Tears streamed down her cheeks. She could barely open her left eye after Johann made her his punching bag again last night. Her right cheek was swollen, she had cuts on her face, and bruises all over her body. Each time I would see her framed picture in the living room, the only picture she had before she married my father, I couldn’t believe that it was her.No one would be able to recognize her like this anymore.Beatrice looked thinner and smaller now. Her bright smile from the picture was replaced by sheer agony, by her tears that I see every waking day of my

    (Alexander)I BREATHED sharply and braced myself for the worse. I could still remember how the King and the Order looked at me like I had gone insane when I rejected the crown. They must have been expecting some good news when they saw me in a flashy suit after a long time.They must have thought the suit was for them.Hell, no. It was exclusively for this interview.Duke, the oldest in my pack, happened to also be the only one among us who had a social media account. He saw the post, took a screenshot, and sent it to me last night. I shook my head. I could still imagine him grinning as he tried playing cupid for the first time.I never wanted to be a king. I only considered it when I thought Katriona wanted to be a queen.But she didn’t.Everyone has been failing to see it but she only wanted to be herself.She had lost herself for too long that there was no other role she wanted than to finally be the real Katriona Aldana. She was still in the middle of rediscovering herself, of re

    I COULD not tell how long I had been running. I just knew I needed to escape for a while and calm myself because I didn’t want dad to see me have a meltdown in front of him once he woke up. I didn’t want him to worry again.I was sure he would already worry about breaking his promise to me again.I ran and stopped only when I was in the middle of the woods. I howled and howled until my throat burned, until the nearby wolves had awakened and howled with me.Clyde’s last words were still echoing in my head.‘We found two kinds of poison in your father’s body. I was only able to get rid of the one affecting his wolf. It was no doubt the poison your wolf had detected. The second poison, however, seemed like it had been in Dane’s system for years. It has already spread in different parts of his body. I’m sorry but you need to prepare yourself, Katriona.’‘How much time do you think we have left?’ I asked, my voice was shaking.Clyde sighed. ‘To be honest, I don’t think your father can make

    HIS SHOULDERS shook.Dad had always been a proud man but tonight, he looked defeated, like somebody had taken all his hopes and dreams away. I clenched my hands.My expression hardened when I spoke, “What did I do this time, dad? Where did I go wrong again? I’ve manifested as the wolf you had always wanted me to become so why do you still look like that? Is it because of Chantal? Look at me and see who is here for you right now! See me for what I am! I am your only daughter! Chantal is never going to come back! I will not allow someone who tried to kill you to ever step foot into this estate again!”Dad looked at me and my stomach twisted at the agony in his eyes. “I had hurt you so much, didn’t I?”“Yes, you did.” My voice cracked. “And I want to hate you so much for it, dad.”He lowered his head. “I’m so sorry.”“I tried telling you about it, dad. You didn’t believe me. You lied to me. You said you would be my protector. You swore to be there to chase away the monsters under my bed.
