Sweat covered Lorenzo’s face as he lay on the bed with his eyes shut and squeezed into a frown. He panted, seemingly out of breath as he struggled in his dream. Inside, he saw images, one of which struck him the most was a blade. It pierced through his chest near the heart. He held that blade and tried to pull it out but the attacker only moved further, making the blade hit his internal organs.

The blade was covered by a poisonous type of silver. Lorenzo could smell it. But how could such a weapon enter the room? This was the border of their pack, and it had a tight security. Guards were everywhere.

He stared at the person who stood close to him. That person’s face was covered by mist, purposely hiding his appearance. Then like a snake, that person uttered in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”

The blade pierced further inside Lorenzo’s chest, making him gasp and choke with blood spilling out of his mouth.

Feeling the pain throbbing inside his chest, Lorenzo’s eyes opened.

He found himself

    . . . Flashback . . . “No matter what happens, you cannot reveal your identity to the enemy. Even if your name is known at some point, you should never mention our pack or the place where you came from. Do you understand, Naya?” Naya faced her father. She had just finished training the rest of the Midnight Seven who were slacking when Beta Alfredo came by. He arrived with his companion from the Alpha’s official head hunters. Naya knew how much her father valued time. “I understand,” she said with her head lowered. Beta Alfredo glanced down at Naya. In the past months, he had seen how hard Naya trained and got praise from his companions. The top generals of their pack always asked Beta Alfredo how he could raise such a remarkable kid. Nevertheless, training and pack competitions were different from the real action. “Don’t let me down,” he uttered without emotion. Naya remained bowing down before him and obediently answered, “I won’t let that happen.” With a final glance at Naya

    Everything happened too fast. Naya couldn’t even react. Her head and body spun as Kael carried her and did the unthinkable – he fought against the Night Ridge Pack soldiers with only one hand. The exhaustion hit Naya, preventing her from lifting even a finger, but her vision remained running and seeing everything made her heart racing. It was as though Kael was a completely different person when he fought. His movements were precise and swift – even faster than the wind with his claws landing on the vital parts of the enemies, making all their attacks akin to ants. He and Naya leaped and danced with the wind, his cloak fluttering as he mercilessly took them down one by one. Not long after, his face mirrored Naya, dirtied with blood. As though he sensed Naya was staring at him, he gazed back at her with his famous crazed smile. His eyes glowed a mixture of green and gold, illuminated further by the light coming from above. Only then Naya realized the moon had risen above. Under its f

    “Let me go.” When Kael heard the words from his mate, he was stunned. He had just placed her inside the carriage Jed had prepared for him while heading back to the pack when he heard Naya speak. Even when she was struggling to keep her eyes open, she still managed to give a sharp look at Kael. The corner of Kael’s lips lifted in a twisted smile. “What’s this? You still have the energy to talk to me yet you haven’t replied to my question earlier.” Naya winced, her body now sensing the heavy aftermath of everything she did the entire day. She had been fighting as many people as she could remember. She was in the brink of losing her senses – probably even her life at that point, until the crazy alpha prince appeared. It wasn’t that she forgot what he did. As a fighter herself, she was actually impressed by his fighting abilities. After all, not everyone could take down people by using only one hand, much more carrying another person the entire process. But then again, Kael had always

    The West Wood Pack had gathered everyone in the main village. It must be said, because of the coming of Sana Azalea, everyone was eager to portray the role of being a follower and an obedient member of the pack.The leader, Alpha Jake West, had distributed all tasks to make everything appear perfect, each corner carrying a hint of respect, dignity, and order. After all, this was the direct messenger of the Moon Goddess herself. Disappointing her was the worst thing any pack could do."Alpha, we have a problem," Alpha Jake's beta, Bullet, said in a low voice when they entered the main pack house.Alpha Jake halted. "What is it?""Alpha Prince Lorenzo and Alpha Prince Kael... We couldn't find them," Bullet informed."What?!" Alpha Jake looked like he was going to faint. Worry and anger instantly flashed through his eyes. "The Blessing Ceremony is going to start in three hours. How can they not be here? What were they doing?!"Bullet lowered his head, equally concerned. "I sent people to

    Lorenzo was startled at the sound coming from the outside. His wound had completely healed but when he took off to return to the West Wood Pack’s main village, he suddenly felt it start to open. For some strange reason, he sensed a danger coming from the said location. Still faintly struggling to remain steady, he ordered his servant, “Check what’s going on outside.” When the servant returned, Alpha Prince Lorenzo was stunned. “What? Prince Kael and Felix are at the entrance?” Lorenzo’s heart began to race in his chest. He gulped down, endured the pain on his chest, and slowly stepped out of the carriage. At the same time, the two assistants of Alpha Prince Kael and Alpha Prince Felix stood out of their own carriage. Apparently, they came together. Lorenzo suspiciously looked at them. General Trevis from the Western Border, temporarily stationed in the main village’s entrance, made a salute to the alpha princes. “I’m pleased to welcome the sons of Alpha Jake. Alpha Princes, p

  • Unhinged Alpha's Slave Mate    42 - First Luna

    Alphas in all packs were allowed to have more than one mate. Although they could acquire as many as they could, most alphas still chose to only have one mate. Just like the rest, they also held a strong importance to the sanctity of mateship and marriage, to the point that in the past 100 years, only two packs had an alpha with more than two mates – the Crimson Stone Pack and the West Wood Pack. Alpha Victor, the alpha of the Crimson Stone Pack, had two mates in his reign. This was because his first Luna died after giving birth. A pack as big as theirs needed a Luna to support the Alpha in his day-to-day ruling. The same could be said for the West Wood Pack although the history in this pack was more complicated than that of the Crimson Stone Pack. “Luna Sierra is taken as a second wife even when Luna Arabella was still alive,” a servant said as she busily arranged the baskets to be brought to the ceremony hall. Words traveled quickly and they learned Luna Sierra’s only biological s

    Nervous, Alpha Jake intently watched the reaction of the Moon Goddess’ visionary messenger. Sana Azalea slowly stepped back and turned to Alpha Jake’s direction, her expression, despite calm and graceful, carried a sense of urgency and worry. “I am now going to reveal what the Moon Goddess has to say for this pack,” she said softly, eyes never leaving Alpha Jake. “Alpha, please step forward and receive the message.” The cold wind made the leaves sway and for once, the moon in the sky shone with strong traces of premonition, making people shiver and watch their leader stand up in anticipation. Head high and firm, Alpha Jake walked towards Sana Azalea. She led him to the vase and finally said, “There are three important messages the Moon Goddess revealed for your pack. First is that there is going to be a drought. The shortage of water in this territory is going to be destructive.” Gasps and whispers quickly erupted in the pack’s central grounds. Everyone couldn’t help but look at

    Light Shadow Pack A young woman stood by the massive lake, her figure carrying the essence of beauty, power, and pride. Wearing a soft light dress, she spun around and uttered with a serious expression, “The lake is still in a disturbed state. Call Alpha Reid immediately.” The servant bowed down to her, “Yes, Alpha Princess.” Darlene Light, the 25-year-old daughter of Alpha Reid in the Light Shadow Pack. Some people said she didn’t only have the power of a true full-blooded alpha but she was also touched by the Moon Goddess’ light when she was young. That small touch gave her the ability to sense anything unusual especially when it came from the outside forces. The Moon Goddess Seed Lake, in particular, was her own mirror that dictated what could happen in the future. “You’ve been saying this since the day Beta Alfredo’s trained soldiers left,” another figure emerged from the shadowed bushes. Darlene didn’t need to turn around to know it was her 20-year-old brother, Seth. Bearin

    Naya's eyes widened, her heart racing as she slowly looked up to see Kael standing beside her, his usual arrogant smile softened by a hint of concern. A single tear slid down her cheek, and as Kael’s smile faded, his expression grew cold, especially when another voice cut through the air."Even until the end, you're still weak," Alfredo sneered. "I raised you, trained you, and you can't even complete your mission! If you're not going to do it, then I will! Men, kill the heir! Bring me his head!"At Alfredo's command, the soldiers of the Light Shadow Pack, along with the remaining Midnight Seven, charged forward. Zeke, knowing how much Luna Alicia wanted to protect Billy—Ruben—leapt into the fray, defending him and fighting alongside the Crimson Stone Pack soldiers. Kael soon joined the battle, shifting into his wolf form and tearing through the Light Shadow Pack members with lethal precision. The two brothers fought side by side until Kael confronted Alfredo."So, you're her father?"

    When Fabian looked up, he saw Gaston and Alfredo, both equally stunned. “Finally,” Fabian smiled. “I got to see you both.” Gaston helped him stand. “I thought you’d die! How did you escape?” Fabian shrugged, hiding his pain. “When you’re a father, you have to keep fighting for your family.”Gaston chuckled. “Bragging about being a dad again, I see. So, how’d you end up here?” He patted Fabian’s back as they walked.“I’m being chased,” Fabian said, making them stop in their tracks.“By who?” Gaston asked.“General Hans and some rogues,” Fabian answered.Gaston and Alfredo exchanged uneasy glances.Alfredo turned to Fabian with a firm expression. “You need to leave.”“Why?” Fabian asked.“This territory belongs to our pack, the Light Shadow Pack,” Gaston explained. “We can’t risk an attack because of you.”Fabian nodded, understanding. “I’ll go so I won’t cause any trouble.”But soon after Fabian left, the territory was attacked by the same rogues and enemy soldiers from the mainland

    Naya stood frozen, a whisper escaping her lips, “No…” Billy was lying. Naya knew he was. But as she looked into his eyes, a chilling certainty crept in—he wasn’t lying at all. “It’s the truth, Naya,” he said, his expression softening, tinged with a trace of melancholia. “Many years ago, when I was just a child, my parents were forced to leave because of an internal conflict within our pack. An ordinary servant of the Light Shadow Pack took me in and raised me as their own before they passed away. But I didn’t come from there. I belong to this pack, the Crimson Stone Pack. And my name isn’t Billy. It’s Ruben. I have alpha blood, and I’m the heir to this pack.” As Naya listened, her mind spun with confusion, each word Billy spoke tightening the vise around her heart until it felt like it would shatter. All along, the person she was destined to kill had been Billy. How could this be? How could it be him? Why? Why him? Just then, the windows shattered, and two wolves b

    Naya looked at Samantha, noticing that Samantha’s eyes were still locked on hers. She had been silent ever since they captured her, not even attempting to resist. She remained calm, following Naya and the team without any struggle.In any case, Samantha was the perfect bait—the exact hostage they needed to finally enter enemy territory.Ignoring any distractions, Naya brushed off Samantha’s unnerving stare and turned to her team. She gave each of them their instructions for once they entered the Crimson Stone Pack.Soon enough, they crossed the gates. The sun was slowly setting as they passed through the first group of soldiers at the border.Sage moved closer to Naya and murmured, “Captain, isn’t it strange? That Alpha Princess hasn’t said a word. She didn’t even try to get those soldiers’ attention.”Naya clenched her hands. She felt something was off too.“What if it’s another trap?” Sage asked.Naya looked ahead, her eyes cold. “If that’s the case, we’ll kill her immediately.”The

    A tall man shouted from a distance, “Find them! Don’t let them get away!”Naya’s heart skipped a beat as she recognized the voice—it was the same general who had visited the family before. His commanding tone cut through the night air.A soldier approached him, breathless. “General, a report came from the South. It seems Sir Fabian took that route. They’re heading to the lake!”The general’s face twisted in anger. “Fabian… That trickster… How dare he betray his own pack? Find him! No matter what happens tonight, we will not stop until we capture that traitor!”With a united roar, the soldiers growled and marched south, their footsteps echoing through the forest as the general led them.Suddenly, the scene shifted, and Naya found herself by the lake. The moonlight reflected off the water, casting eerie shadows across the surface. Fabian was locked in battle with soldiers, while Louisa pushed a canoe with Luna Sandra and Rosanne inside.“What are you doing? Why aren’t you getting in?” L

    "Many rogues have been spotted around the Southern Border lately. I can’t leave yet,” Fabian replied, his voice tense. He glanced at Louisa with a meaningful look, signaling that the next conversation would be more serious.Louisa caught the signal and took Rosanne's hand. “Let’s go, Rosanne. Let’s find your brother.”Rosanne’s eyes lit up instantly. “Are we going to see Ruben today, Mama?”Louisa smiled warmly. “Yes. Come on.”Before they left, she gave another look at the two men, a mixture of concern and understanding in her eyes.Naya remained on the side, her heart racing as she listened to Gaston and Fabian’s conversation.

It was truly the Crimson Stone Pack.Gaston and her father, Alfredo, were both members of the Crimson Stone Pack.Before she could figure out more about her father, the scenery changed. It shifted to Louisa, Rosanne, and a young boy with long black hair. His face seemed a bit blurry, but Naya could make

    Crimson Stone PackLeira, a loyal fighter, rushed into Luna Alicia’s room, her face filled with worry. Luna Alicia stood up from her seat. With hesitation, Leira handed her a letter wrapped in a black cloth. “This came from Prince Zeke.”As Luna Alicia read the letter, tears filled her eyes. “A war…” she whispered. “After a drought.” She stumbled, overwhelmed by the news, but Leira quickly helped her back to the chair. Following Luna Alicia's command, Leira took the letter and set it on fire with a match. As the letter burned, Luna Alicia's eyes reflected a mix of emotions. “Just as my sister warned me,” she said sadly, remembering a distant, painful memory. “It’s bound to happen sooner or later. There’s no stopping it.”Leira stood silently by her side. For the past few weeks, she had watched Luna Alicia cry, not because of her situation with Alpha Prince Zeke of the West Wood Pack, but because of the past and the fearful future that people from the past had predicted.“Did Samantha

    Alpha Prince Felix stood among the countless lifeless bodies sprawled on the ground. The scent of blood mingled with the earth, permeating the moist air and sending a chill down his spine. The sounds of battle had ceased, but the heavy atmosphere lingered. Too many rogues had appeared out of nowhere—or was it really nowhere? They all behaved as though they had lost their sanity. Where exactly did they come from? The more Felix thought about it, the stranger it felt. Seven soldiers were lost in this encounter, each death weighing heavily on his mind. This wasn’t a simple attack from rogues. There had to be something else – a deeper reason behind all this chaos. Felix let out a few slow breaths and was about to walk back to the tower when he heard a choking sound in the distance. A soldier lay on the ground, his right limb severed. He looked up at Felix, hand reaching out.“What’s your name?” Felix asked, bending down.“Axiel, Alpha Prince,” the soldier replied, choking on blood. A

    The moment Naya opened her eyes, she was met with Jed’s face, staring at her with a confused, concentrated look. Seeing her eyes snap open, Jed quickly moved back, clearing his throat. “I thought you were dead. You were barely breathing. Are you okay? You don’t look good.”Naya remained silent. In reality, her head felt like it was going to explode. She had been sweating coldly for a while, and the entire time she was seated in the carriage, it felt like she was floating, barely sensing anything but the pain throbbing in her head. She remembered Kael talking to her earlier but couldn’t recall what he said.She huffed, adjusting her position. “Where’s your prince?” she asked.Jed’s eyebrows furrowed. “He is outside dealing with rogues. Weren’t you listening to him earlier?”Naya didn’t answer.“Never mind,” Jed said, knowing Naya wouldn’t explain herself anyway. “We’re inside the pack territory now, so this will be dealt with quickly.
