  Jeremy paced around the room, his footsteps echoing against the walls as he muttered to himself. He ran his fingers through his hair, tugging at the strands in frustration. He couldn't believe that Celeste had just up and left just like that. It was as if she had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of her presence behind.

  At first, Jeremy had assumed that Celeste just needed some time alone. The pack needed him to make decisions, so he went to the meeting room. He didn't come back that night, but during the meeting, his mind kept wandering to the feeling of Celeste's cheek against his and how he felt when he held her in his arms.

  Earlier, he had been so close to taking things further with Celeste, but Nancy had ruined everything. The memory of her intrusion made Jeremy's blood boil. He had felt so annoyed and frustrated when she had interrupted them, but now he couldn't help but feel relieved that she had broken the mood. If Nancy hadn't, who knew what might have ha

      Jeremy couldn't believe it. The bastard of the rogue had the audacity to kidnap his Celeste right under his watch!  Rational thinking dictated that he should return to their secret base, rally the werewolves, and stage a full-blown attack on the rogues to rescue Celeste. But Jeremy's instincts led him to their home instead.  As he walked through the door, he immediately noticed the change here.  The scent of Celeste was so pleasantly obvious in the air. His heart thumped wildly in his chest, and his breath caught in his throat. Could she be here? But as he took a deep breath, he realized that Celeste was no longer there. Her scent lingered, but it lacked the vibrancy of a recent presence. He felt a pang of disappointment.  He knew that Celeste had already left, but she had clearly been there for some time as her scent lingered. Did she spend the night here last night? Jeremy took a deep breath, trying to let Celeste's scent enter his nose and chest, to calm his fra

      Jeremy stormed back into the base, his fists clenched with anger. Everyone was surprised by the look on his face.  Jeremy wasted no time and strode straight towards Byron's room, his footsteps echoing down the hallway. He rapped on the door, making the wood rattle on its hinges.  Byron jolted out of his chair in surprise. "What's going on, Jeremy?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.  "Celeste's gone. She left without a word," Jeremy seethed, his face contorting with anger and frustration.  Byron's eyes widened. "What do you mean she left? I saw her just last night," he said, trying to make sense of the situation.  Jeremy's breaths came in short, ragged gasps. "Did she say anything to you? Did she tell you where she was going?"  Byron shook his head, his brow furrowed in confusion. "No, she didn't mention anything about leaving. But she seemed troubled like something was bothering her," he said, trying to recall their conversation from the p

      Jeremy briefly explained the situation to the wolf pack. While the wolves were surprised by Celeste's departure, they were more concerned about her safety. Some wolves suggested following Byron to bring back Celeste.  After quickly preparing, they set off without a moment of rest.  Previously, after the rogue attack on the wolf pack, Byron had sent Betas to keep an eye on the rogues. They had located the rogues' hideout, but since the hunter's attack, they had lost track of them.  Jeremy knew that rogues were notorious for their nomadic lifestyle. They never stayed in one place for too long. That was why he feared they would move away during this time.  Driving through the winding roads and the rugged terrain, Jeremy could feel his heart beating rapidly. He couldn't afford to waste any time. Luckily, the rogues' hideout was not too far away. But he knew that every minute counted.  Finally, they arrived at their destination. But as soon as they reached

      Jeremy stepped into the darkness outside, where the moon in the sky emitted a pale light.  The moon wasn't perfectly round, and the moonlight wasn't particularly bright. However, without the window to block its path, the moonlight fell directly onto Jeremy's body, casting an eerie glow over him. He gazed intently at the moon as if possessed by it. He couldn't hear the night's wind or the chirping of insects. All his senses were focused on the moon above.  At that moment, his wolf seemed to sync with his pace and lifted his head to stare at the moon just like Jeremy.  With his eyes closed, he could feel the moon's shadow falling upon him. He stretched out his hand, lowered his gaze, and matched his movements with those of his wolf, feeling the stretch of his muscles and bones. When he opened his eyes, his wolf had taken complete control of his body.  This was the first time that Jeremy had used the power of the moon to help him transform, and he could feel something different in

     As Jeremy set foot on the bridge, he felt a cool breeze brushing against his skin. The bustling noise of a gathering up ahead filled the air, as people chattered and laughed amidst the vibrant hubbub.  The air was thick with a complex blend of scents that made it hard to distinguish one from the other. But Jeremy's keen sense of smell allowed him to pick up on the unique scent that stood out from the rest. It was the distinct smell of a werewolf, mixed with the delicate scent of rosewater. He couldn't help but wonder which fashionable werewolf was shopping at the gathering today.  As he made his way toward the source of the scent, his eyes caught sight of the many vendors lining the bridge, displaying a stunning array of goods. There were colorful textiles draped over stalls, shimmering jewelry glinting in the sunlight, and rows of delectable snacks laid out for sampling.  A sudden gust of wind blew onto Jeremy's face, causing him to close his eyes momentarily. When he opened them

      Jeremy's lips curled into a sneer as he closed in on the werewolf. "So, you weren't sleeping," he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm.  The werewolf shrugged, his eyes glinting with a mix of defiance and wariness. "I call it self-preservation." Then he looked at the ropes that bound him and raised an unimpressed eyebrow. "You know I'm a werewolf, right? You do realize I can transform and break free from these ropes and escape, don't you?"  Jeremy's gaze flickered over the ropes that bound the werewolf's wrists and ankles. "You know I'm a werewolf too, right?" He said, his voice laced with a hint of threat. "If you try to escape, I'll track you down. And trust me, you won't want to be caught a second time."  "So confident…" The werewolf drawled. A wry smile twisted his lips as he sized up Jeremy, his gaze sweeping over him from head to toe.  Jeremy shifted a bit uncomfortably under his intense scrutiny, feeling a knot of unease twist in his stomach.

      Celeste was talking to Kate when Kent strode into the room with the news about her parents.  Celeste stood up and locked eyes with Kent. "What? You have news about them? Do you know where they are?" Her voice was eager, desperate.  She had left her own pack and joined the rogues partly to escape her twisted mate bond with Jeremy. And it was also because of Kent promise that he would help her find her parents. Unlike her own pack, who had grown accustomed to life in the small town, Kent's pack had roamed far and wide, gathering information and resources along the way. They knew better how to track down hunters.  Celeste had been with this pack for a few days now, and Kent had been working hard to keep his promise. There had been hunters in the city before, and Kent had taken Celeste to the places where they had been seen before, but like their own town, the hunters had only stayed briefly before disappearing without a trace.  They still didn't know what the

      Celeste was a little surprised by Kent's seemingly shy reaction, but she wasn't sure if it was really shyness. What was there to be shy about, anyway? It was then she realized he was talking about a surprise party.  "A party? A surprise party?" Did they throw a party every time a new member joined the pack?  "Yes, a surprise party. But it seems like the surprise is gone now. Now I guess it's just a party," Kate said, sounding a bit disappointed that she had spoiled the surprise for her.  "You really don't have to do this for me," Celeste scratched her head. She never expected the rogues to throw a party just for her arrival. They were enemies not too long ago, after all. And suddenly, she was a member of the pack, and they wanted to throw a party for her. It felt a bit strange to her.  "Of course, we have to throw a party for you! You're our Luna!" Kate pouted.  Celeste sighed. Kate was speaking nonsense again. Celeste never agreed to be the pack's Lu

      Jeremy blinked his eyes open, only to find himself perched atop the four limbs of his wolf.  Right beneath his nose, a dagger glimmered with a silvery radiance, as if it held a secret power. His wolf recoiled at the sight of it, sensing something off about the blade. It exuded a wicked glow under the warm, flickering light of the orange-yellow candle, almost as if it dared to mock Jeremy. It teased and taunted, never daring to come too close.  As Jeremy looked upward, his eyes met a round moon, dominating the sky after chasing away the dark clouds. The moon bathed everything in its gentle, mesmerizing glow, making the stars pale in comparison. A sense of awe washed over him as he beheld the celestial spectacle.  With a deep breath, Jeremy lowered his gaze, steeling himself for what he knew he had to do. He gingerly pressed his chest against the razor-sharp point of the dagger, feeling a prickling sensation mingling with the coarse texture of his fur. A wave of se

      The whole room exuded tranquility as if it held its breath.  Jermey blinked his eyes open once more, stealing glances at the other werewolves nearby. To his surprise, most of them were slouched against the walls, snoozing away on their chairs. Ben's neck remained stiff, locked in a position fixated on the gloomy clouds above. But his tired eyes were twitching and his eyelashes seemed to engage in a battle of their own, struggling to stay shut.  Jeremy's gaze landed on Kent, who was still wide awake and lost in contemplation of the cloud-covered heavens.  As if sensing Jeremy's presence, Kent abruptly turned his head, forgetting for a moment that he had been stuck in the same position, resulting in a stiff neck. The contorted expression on his face confirmed this mishap.  Despite the inopportune timing, Kent's unintended antics managed to tickle Jeremy's funny bone. Though they were now fighting on the same side, Jeremy still remembered that sneaky bastard h

      Jeremy had waited for three days. Three long days. And tonight was supposed to be the night of the full moon. He could practically feel the anticipation in the air. But...  "Quit your pacing, dude! You're making me dizzy. Take a chill pill," Kent blurted out.  Jeremy came to a halt, but the fiery anger inside him refused to be tamed. He turned his gaze towards Kent, his eyes burning with frustration. "Calm down? How the hell am I supposed to calm down? Look at this freaking sky!"  With an exasperated gesture, Jeremy pointed his finger at the outside world. Thick, menacing clouds raced across the sky, ruthlessly snuffing out any trace of starlight or moon glow.  If anything could escape the clutches of those gloomy clouds, it would be the raindrops tumbling down from their murky depths. The rain wasn't exactly a downpour; it fell in a half-hearted drizzle, so faint that he could barely spot the drops unless he squinted. But the water puddles on the ground re

      Jeremy recognized the familiar voice. Immediately, he snapped his head up.  There stood his old Alpha, Byron.  Byron had shouldered the burden of Jeremy's true lineage for all these years, even betraying the trust of their own wolf pack. When the truth came out, the pack's disappointment was palpable. Yet, in the end, they begrudgingly accepted Byron's presence, albeit stripping him of his leadership status.  As fate would have it, just as Byron had hoped, Jeremy eventually rose to become the pack's new leader. However, Byron vanished without a trace. Though the pack had extended their reluctant embrace to him, Byron seemed incapable of forgiving himself. He had chosen to wander off on his own.  But at this very moment, Byron stood before Jeremy, appearing considerably aged, yet Jeremy couldn't help but notice that the perpetual tension that had clung to Byron seemed to have dissipated. Perhaps, now that his secret was out in the open, it brought a sense of

      It seemed like the hunter vanished into thin air, taking Celeste along for the ride.  The werewolves had been tearing through Wolf Town all day long, desperately trying to sniff out any trace of their elusive hunter. But this place, despite its name, hadn't laid eyes on a single wolf. The poor werewolves were completely stumped.  They had been at it since the crack of dawn, covertly searching while keeping their senses sharp for any hint of the hunter's whereabouts. But now, as the sun started its descent, painting the sky a blazing red, the pack gathered together, heads shaking in a shared disappointment. The look of defeat was written all over their furry faces.  Jeremy's mood was growing increasingly restless. Since morning, he had been plagued by these annoying, erratic breaths that come out of nowhere. It was like someone's squeezing his heart every time, catching him off guard and causing beads of sweat to form on his forehead.  With each occurrence,

      "We're here, Cel. No doubt about it!" answered Celeste's father, Jeff, as he glanced at Celeste with a worried look on his face.  "Hey, sweetheart, what have they done to you?" Her mother reached out and gently caressed Celeste's cheek. Tears welled up in her eyes, visible to Celeste.  Celeste shook her head, determined to push aside the lingering dizziness. Though a bit disoriented, she refused to let it bother her. The blasted silver chains held her captive, severing her connection to her wolfish powers. Normally, as a werewolf, she would have bounced back from the electric shock in no time. But now, without her wolf mojo, she struggled to fully recover from the hunters' torment.  With watery eyes, she looked at her parents and couldn't help but let a sob creep into her voice. "Oh, gosh, I missed you guys so darn much! Jeremy and I have been on the hunt for you for ages!"  All she wanted was to give her parents a big, warm hug, but their hands were tied t

      Celeste had no clue when she zoned out. All she could recall was the jarring click of a switch, the sudden glow of crimson lights, and a jolt of electricity coursing through her body, causing her to let out a scream.  She squeezed her eyes shut, almost envisioning a lightning whip crackling against her wolf-like form. The excruciating pain hit her like a sucker punch, making her body writhe and convulse, but the damned silver chains held her captive. Yet, this first wave of agony wasn't enough to knock her out cold.  Thankfully, the electrical surge was only fleeting, disappearing as swiftly as it had come. As Celeste regained her wits, she gulped down air as if she'd been trapped underwater, her heart hammering against her ribcage while her surroundings swirled in a dizzying haze.  Once she'd gathered herself to some extent, Celeste's gaze fell upon Kevin, who was also gasping for breath, beads of sweat dotting his forehead. Had he just experienced a shocking sh

      Jeremy and the rest of the wolves finally arrived at Wolf Town.  As soon as Jeremy stepped out of the car, a peculiar sensation tingled through his body, leaving him bewildered. His heart skipped a beat, and he could feel a distinct surge in the connection between him and Celeste as if someone had turned up the volume.  Without a doubt, Celeste was here, but where the heck was she? Where were the hunters hiding her? Jeremy closed his eyes, desperately trying to follow the invisible thread that bound him to her. It felt like Celeste's presence was swirling in every direction, teasing his senses. With every breath, he almost caught a whiff of her intoxicating scent, but dang it, where was she hiding? He was utterly disoriented, like a compass gone haywire.  This sensation felt all too familiar. It reminded him of when Celeste had slipped away with the rogues before.  Back then, he had been plagued by the same feeling, an uncanny awareness that Celeste was clo

      What the actual heck was happening here?  Celeste's eyes widened as she watched her twin brother clamber onto the same seat, getting all strapped up like her. It was downright unbelievable.  Seriously, what was he up to? And what the heck did these hunters think they were doing? Wasn't Kevin one of the hunters? Did these hunters plan to experiment on Kevin too?  As Celeste glanced back at the other hunters in the room, she noticed that two of them had sauntered out, leaving behind the black-haired man. His face was a mixed bag of emotions, and when his gaze swept over Kevin, a flicker of concern and guilt flashed across his expression, though it vanished in a heartbeat.  Kevin locked eyes with the man and flashed a tiny smile at him. Celeste blinked, wondering if she was seeing things. What on earth was the deal between Kevin and this guy?  Suddenly, two lab-coated figures waltzed in. Compared to the hunters, they were on the scrawnier side, lacking t
