Going through the unfamiliar grounds of the West Wood Pack wasn’t on the list of Naya’s worries. In fact, stepping foot on this territory already served as training for her. Who was to say what awaited her when she finally entered Crimson Stone Pack? From what she heard, it had a territory as twice or even thrice as big as this pack. Fear for the unknown path disappeared when Naya left her own pack. She had to maintain a focused mind if she wanted to keep surviving amongst these cruel pack members of the mainland and execute her plan to fulfill her task. Currently, her mate was a mess. She couldn’t explain it, but she could feel there was something off with Kael. Very discreetly, she followed his scent while also being wary of her surroundings. This was still a hunt after all – a hunt where participants were allowed to beat each other up just to get the prized deer. She already reached the river point when the scent suddenly disappeared. Naya stopped on her tracks. She glanced fr
To say Naya was surprised would be an understatement. She had known her father to be a one-command type of man. Once he said it, he would never take it back. Seth saw the confusion in Naya's eyes. He discreetly said, "Before the sun sets today. I suggest we should return." Naya looked at him. Seth pulled his gaze away and for the first time, he opened, "I don't see the rest of your team. Where are they?" "My father," Naya said, "Does he really want me to return?" Without fulfilling her mission? How could this be possible? The Light Shadow Pack's Alpha Prince glanced at Naya, his eyes gleaming under the sun. But whatever admiration he held to her, he had kept it hidden perfectly, masking it with a slightly prideful, aloof appearance. "I don't know the details but yes, he said he wants you back," Alpha Prince Seth answered. Then he looked down, worry flashing through his eyes. "Our pack isn't in a good state. My father's health is declining and my sister saw a vision." Naya's he
The assassin that went after her when she escaped the West Wood Pack territory through that cave, the mysterious rogue who came after Sana Azalea’s life, and now another stranger going after Alpha Prince Felix. Remembering all the pain that went through with the familiar weapon, Naya found herself leaping just as the arrow left the body. Her fingers clutching around the small knife in her pocket, she threw it to the assassin, the blade shooting through his leg. At the same time, Alpha Prince Felix and his team reacted. Aware of the two new presences around them, they immediately covered Felix and went on a fighting position. But Alpha Prince Felix also sprinted out of the protective barrier, going after the assassin as Naya did. “Alpha Prince!” his assistant, Max, called but he didn’t respond. Because he was too fast like the wind, Felix ended up bumping into Naya, their bodies colliding and falling to the ground in a hard and loud thud. Naya winced and looked up, only to be met
Naya ran through the forest, her mobility not faltering a second. She had to find Billy quickly. By now, the rest of the Midnight Seven were most probably gathered in that boat. As Naya ran, a familiar shadow ran to the distance that caught her attention. She squinted and felt her heart beat stop for a second. It was that assassin again. Falling into some dilemma, Naya listened to her heart’s wish and ran after the unknown man. That person was wounded so he couldn’t maintain his balance for a long period. Now and then, his movements began to slow. Naya took the opportunity and lunged forward. Caught on guard, the man staggered and fell to the huge tree trunk. Faster than the wind, Naya held his collar, took her knife out, and pointed it at the assassin's neck. “Move and you’ll die,” she warned. The man underneath the black mask winced. Her tone fierce and cold, Naya pushed the knife further, its tip touching his clothed neck. “Who are you doing these orders for? Who is your ma
Inside the Light Shadow Pack main house, a long table was set with a variety of meat, vegetables, and fruits. Nuts have been placed on a separate plate and glasses were filled with red, black, and orange color liquids. Alpha Reid sat on the far end of the table. On each side sat his children, Alpha Princess Darlene, Alpha Prince Seth, and Alpha Prince Manuel. The quiet atmosphere was quickly filled with tension the moment one of them spoke. “I want to join the mission.” It was Alpha Prince Manuel who apparently talked. Both his siblings turned to him in surprise while Alpha Reid gave him a sharp glance. “What mission?” Alpha Reid asked. The youngest prince, aged 18, said with determination, “The Midnight Seven. I heard they will return in a few days. Alpha, I want to join–” “Who said you can join?” Alpha Prince Seth interjected. “Father, don’t listen to him. It’s a special mission and he’s still too young. If there’s anyone who should join, shouldn’t it be?” Manuel glared at
Rain continued to drizzle down, creating tiny ripples on the lake water as Naya paddled her way to the shore. Her mind and heart raced, filled with anticipation as she remembered Sana Azalea's words. The jade comet, the alpha king descendant, the prophecy. In reality, nothing made sense to her. Even so, she found herself running back to the West Wood Pack territory. Sneaking in as rain began to shift from drizzling to pouring, Naya finally arrived in the same woods she had been just yesterday. At this time, the Blue Moon Hunt should be over or at least about to be. Her mind racing, Naya's footsteps pushed her to head to these woods, her wolf inside squirming and trying to break free as it was eager to run towards a particular person. Naya stopped at the center, looking around as cold water hit her face continuously from the sky. She halted for a second and saw a deer on the side, its body bearing a blue mark that made her breathing stop. Wasn't it the animal they had to capture a
Lorenzo didn’t like the rain. In fact, just listening to the sound of the pattering water nearby would make him suddenly feel different. His mood would turn sour and his heart would race in a negative way. This was because in the past, he lost something precious when it was raining. What was probably worse than losing someone dear to you was losing something that person gave you before they left. It wasn’t that he was careless. Rather, he had lost his sanity for a time when his mate died and in the process, he lost a gift that she apparently left for him. “Alpha Prince, are you serious?” Rui, his beta, asked, when they exited the cabin. “What if your plan doesn’t work?” The rain had stopped then, the full moon gleaming above that lit up the quiet and dark forest. Everyone had dispersed, prepared to continue the hunt and finish the race. Lorenzo glanced at his beta once and said, “It’s the right thing to do so I will do everything to make it happen.” Rui worriedly stared at Alph
“Are you saying your wish is to be one of the candidates to become Alpha Prince Kael’s official mate?” Inside the Alpha’s meeting room, about five ordinary pack members with the elders, including Prime Luna Martha, sat with Alpha Jake. Although the room was silent, tension rose in the air as they released deep sighs while staring at the sight before them. Naya was in the center with her head lowered facing Alpha Jake. When the question came out of his lips, the people in the room were startled except for Naya. The alpha of the pack sternly glanced at the side, finding the deer before gazing back at Naya, “You have successfully captured and delivered the offering to the Moon Goddess, owning the prize which is a wish that I have to grant. But I, the alpha of this pack, do not tolerate ill wishes for my pack and members so becoming one of the Alpha Princes’ mates candidates is rather questionable. Tell me, if I grant you this wish of yours, what do we gain in return?” Naya had alread
