PEONY CRIMSON’S POV

The second boom came like an earthquake, shaking this entire rocky cell. The chains entangling my feet and hands jingled loudly, opening up opportunities for contact with my skin. The sting of the painful burn spread like a fire, but I was too panicked to feel it.

"Hey! Someone! Can anyone hear me?” I called out, but all I heard was the echo of my own voice.

In the next second, I struggled to avoid the falling rocks from the roof. Every time I moved and dragged my body to get out of the way, pain burned my wrist like a thousand daggers trying to rip out my veins.

"OUCH! These chains are all silver!” I exclaimed. Blood seeped from the burn, getting more and more painful until it was unbearable.

Emily exclaimed, "Stop moving; your skin will peel off! My regeneration is limited to healing silver wounds!"

It was easy for her to say that.

"In any second, this area will collapse. I can't just stay here!” I yanked my hands, "AAARRRRGGHHHH!!"

My breath hitched. Both of my

    XAVIER ASHERIUS’S POV(A day before the Moon Festival)"The cops we questioned earlier weren’t all different from the other mortals, Alpha.” Judd reported. I saw his hands clenched into fists as muscles jumped out at his temples. "They're wasting too much time. If you drop your command, I'll crush their bones into mere dust."This was our second day in the mortal world. It didn’t take long for my nine-person team to identify the people who may have had contact with my triplets on the day they disappeared. My team took everything with detail and precision, and I was quite pleased. They handled this impromptu quest with such dedication."Not now." I grinned faintly.After interrogating every elementary school teacher and staff member, Jedd and two other members went to the police station this morning. Only to discover there were no reports of missing children, as Peony had explained to me. Unsatisfied, I had Theo sneak into the police archives, but he returned empty-handed.There was no

    XAVIER ASHERIUS’S POVI entrusted all the mortals’ matters to Lazarus and Judd, withdrawing the rest of the search team back to White Moon that very night. However, it still took hours of travel to reach my pack. We managed to reach the northern border after midnight.I contacted Zedd, Chadwick, and the Deltas via mind-link. From them, I learned that the rogues of Deadster Forest from the northeast were the rodents who dared to dig a hole in White Moon. They were alpha-less bastards who dared to live only by shifting into brainless lycans.Yet they were nothing more than puppy-powered monsters, childish and disruptive.A flare of anger erupted in my core. I put Zed, a gamma, and the deltas in my pack not just because they could run the pack as my replacements. How were those intruders able to sneak in when my second-in-commands was scattered all over the territory?They would get their comeuppance right from my hands."Theo, Walter, and the rest, spread out across the area.

    XAVIER ASHERIUS’S POV"Does it still hurt?"I walked out of the bathroom as I wiped my fists with a towel after washing away the rogues’ blood. Peony sat on the edge of the bed, seemingly deep in her own thoughts. She glanced at me. Her eyelashes swayed gently as she blinked, followed by a faint smile on her rose-red lips."I'm fine. The regeneration worked," she responded."Let me see."I tossed the towel into the laundry bin and knelt in front of Peony. I lifted her right sole gently, her skin twitching in response to my touch. I slowly peeled off the bandage around her calf. I sensed Peony hold her breath. It brought a smirk to my face.The floor swallowed the fallen bandage, revealing her porcelain skin beneath, perfect without any scars—as she said. I grazed her delicate skin with my forefinger tip. An electric shiver ran down to my skin. Peony tensed as my mere touch transformed into a gentle stroke. Her lips slightly opened, letting out a silent moan.I grasped her sole, liftin

With some peace treaties, hereditary wars were finally stopped, which led to greater cooperation between the packs under my command.As Alpha of Blue Moon, I was the talk of the pack. That's why I got an invitation from Opal Moon—a pack with the mortal world as their base. I didn't see it as a golden opportunity. Still, I bothered to bounce all the way to the other end of the continent to see what kind of offer they had.Getting out of the car, I was immediately confronted by a crowd of pedestrians. The air was filled with a mortal scent that would make any vampire drool. It was a good thing my ancestors built Blue Moon in the deep forest, sparing me from dealing with weakling mortals.A sudden, strong gut compelled me to follow its call, leading my eyes to a random fast-food restaurant. The windows were wide, and a woman sto

We should get back to Blue Moon shortly," Azalea said the following morning as I sat half-slouched, clutching my head.Lack of sleep became the gasoline for blazing flames within me, distorting my reality. Concern sparked in Azalea's green eyes as she paced back and forth in the hotel room. I just watched her while fighting the damn headache.Fuck. I was an Alpha, yet this fucking unknown pain nearly knocked my power down every chance it got."You kidding?” I grumbled. "It's no big deal. I’ll manage those bastards.""No, you won’t. I won't let you suffer any worse than this, husband. Given the distance from our pack, we should get going now. You know the best treatment only works there."Azalea was much more stubborn than she looked. She held out a glass of dark brown juice that smelled like spices, but I was used to consuming similar drinks, so I just downed it right away."I knew coming here was a bad idea.” A

Before me, a girl with curly chestnut hair sat hunched over, embracing a crumpled, dirty shirt.A day had passed since the Lycan attack on White Moon. With half the villages destroyed, refugee tents were set up in the field behind the packmansion to accommodate members. Gloria and I helped out with whatever we could."What's the point here? I don’t want to live anymore.” She raised her expressionless, pale face. Traces of tears dried on her cheeks. "Half of my soul has already gone to the goddess’ side. Soon, what's left of me will follow."My chest squeezed tight. "I beg you not to say that. The Moon Goddess won’t be pleased at your despair.""You don't get it," the girl muttered. I was about to say something to ease her confusion a little, but Gloria touched my shoulder and shook her head."Please come at lunchtime, at least," I sa

This afternoon, I helped in the kitchen, and Gloria was in the medical tent. Who would have thought that the beta himself would catch up with me and lend his hand voluntarily?I noticed a subtle difference in his demeanor and the way he stared at me. His cold, uncomfortable gaze was gone. I sensed that he was trying to be a little more friendly. Maybe he felt guilty, or Xavier just told him to be nice.To gain his trust more, I told one of his little secrets to break the ice."I saw it myself. When you drove me back to Blue Moon, you took a moment to pick some wild apples at the border because you really liked their astringent and bitter taste," I replied lightly.Zedd grinned, on the verge of disbelief and being impressed. "We were really close before, then."“Yeah, we're so close that you once told me that you were looking forward to meeting your mate. Because

My eyelids fluttered open as I gathered consciousness.Someone stood next to the bed with an innocent smile, welcoming me. I blinked."Fey?"The girl pulled back the blanket, revealing my bare thighs and messy nightgown. I had been sleeping like a log since yesterday afternoon because I was swept in my own panic. I didn’t even know whether Xavier slept next to me last night—the other side of the bed was empty."Good morning, Miss. I came to help you get ready." Fey greeted her in a friendly, lilting voice. Her smile was also so formal that I cringed at it. "The bathtub is already filled with warm water. Is there a special fragrance you prefer?""Huh?" My brain was still processing her presence and everything she said."Or do you prefer to have breakfast first?" Fey asked, still looking at me, frozen on the bed. Just a few day

Killian rewarded me with an angry glare, as his hands clenched into fists, the more pain his shadow tormented me with.“Silence!” Azalea gasped, “The first thing I'll do after absorbing her blessing is to kill you!”I laughed like crazy. “You hear that, sweetheart?”Violet pressed Rose even closer in her arms. She had a defensive look in her eyes as she shielded her sister with fierce protectiveness. Azalea seemed weary of this little game. Her steps galloped closer. No matter how loud I screamed, Killian held me down with his magic and Azriel restrained me from getting up. My face repeatedly slammed into the ground, I swallowed dust and grass, but no matter what I had to stop Azalea from touching my daughters.And then, at the promised moment, it was like time stopped and everything went silent.

"She will never get the chance."Ignoring her, I strode back to Luna Lucia and Violet. Both were fine, but something sparkled in Violet's eyes when she looked at me. "You're okay?" I cupped my hand to her cheek. "Let's get out."Luna Lucia shook her head. "No, I think this is my limit. I can't walk any further," she breathed tiredly, "Huft... who knows that being pregnant makes my knees weak?"I gave her a sympathetic look, grasping her hand. The baby in her belly was the future of her pack, I couldn't force her to take risks if it endangered them both. "I know. I'm so sorry for dragging you into all of this mess. B

Poor girl tied up, eyes closed, a purplish bruise on her neck. I watched Xander loosen the rope, totally self-aware that I couldn't precede him to help the girl."Didn't hold back at all, huh?"My eyes darted to the cave door. A woman with platinum blonde so bright it'd blind others and a pair of wicked green irises. A low growl escaped Xander's throat as he saw her."Take Jasmine back to White Moon. You're needed there more. I got this," Xander growled, patting my shoulder with a straight ahead glare.Giving him a quick nod, I slipped an arm under Jasmine's neck and down her legs, carrying her. Me and Xander were basically on the same boat, with the witches’ betrayal. But as I agree

Luna Lucia explained that they learned a lot from the Mystwolves they killed, and that it was easy to acquire secrets, even if they were based on rumor.The point is that the Darkness had their sights set on Rose. They would reach White Moon at some point. Ha, they wanted to take my daughter? Over my dead body."Is there anything we can do here, Ma?" asked Rose, all anxious but seemingly trying to hide it by fidgeting her fingers. Violet was next to her, tense and alarmed. She kept frequent glances at Elenor. If I showed them mine, it would only worsen their mood. In this uncertain stat

    XAVIER ASHERIUS'S POVAll of the trees in the Nameless Forest had leaves that were turning orange and yellow by the time autumn arrived. The dry grass crunched beneath our feet as we came to a quiet stop not far from the cave we were heading to. Other than the wind whistling and the chirping of migrant birds, there was no sound. At that point, the silence in the area made me uneasy.A black wolf next to me pricked up his ears and glared towards the cave entrance. I told the mages to go into the cave and assess the situation first, while the other wolves dispersed behind us.I couldn't help but inwardly hope that at least two or three mages would stand guard there so that I could quickly complete this mission, bring Jasmine home and return to my new life with Peony as a happy, intact family."We must rush in and wipe them out!

I said, no louder than the swish of the night breeze, but as serious as a heart attack. Xavier also sat up, squaring his shoulders. He blinked, then chuckled. His hand tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear."My Queen, your jokes are hilarious," he replied, about to lead me back to bed.I shook my head. "No, I mean it," I emphasized, "The deep regret and despair mixed with anger reflected so brightly in his eyes when he talked to me."A sheen of pain smeared across Xavier's golden eyes, and he squinted. His hands dropped to the mattress and his glare hardened, slashing the air between us with disdain.It felt like a very long time had passed between us at that precise moment. At that moment, he appeared so far away and inaccessible, even though we were sitting across from one other on the same b

They were also aware that my girls were the subject of the discussion. I could see their confused glances as they found Xander standing as far away from the table as possible, with all his pent-up anger suppressing the atmosphere. "I sent Stuart and his team to the cave where I found the triplets. When we thought it was just an ordinary one, it turned out to hold something beyond measure." Xander was the first to speak up after Xavier had summarized the problem.Stuart laid out a drawing resembling a beehive on a sheet of watercolor paper on the table. The top left corner features a cardinal arrow.
