Roberta POVI gasped in pain. "You're crazy.""I'm already crazy." There was a subtle smile on Marcus's lips.My soft body was pressed into his arms, my earlobes were licked and played by his mouth, his breath stained my ears vaguely, stimulating my tired skin that craved comfort. Marcus put his hand under me, and I heard my own breathing increase, and Marcus's breathing in my ear gradually becoming heavy.My breathing trembled as Marcus brushed his fingernails against my skin and smiled happily. Marcus grabbed my hand to unbuckle his belt, and I couldn't help but lift myself up and rub my shirt against his chest. Marcus swiped his hand away from my waist behind his back, biting my ear in a charming whisper, laughing at me for being so obedient.The smell of his breath and the damp sensation on my cheeks from his mouth made me swallow. Marcus rolled up on my palm and made my fingers curl in a circle around my waist, wetting my clothes and body. The smell of the bodily fluids that enve
Roberta POVAfter Marcus left the dungeon, I felt I had regained some of my strength, but the cloud lingered. Every time he shows up, he brings more threats and pain, and all I can do now is grit my teeth and hold on.A few hours later, the dungeon door opens again and Marcus enters, this time with no food, but a pair of handcuffs in his hand. His expression was still cold and there was a sense of determination in his eyes."Stand up," he ordered, his voice cold.I struggled to get up, still weak, but I knew I couldn't show any weakness in front of him. He came over and quickly placed the handcuffs around my wrists, the cold metal touch sending a chill through my heart."Where are you taking me?" I demanded, trying to hide my fear."This is to prevent you from escaping," he replied coldly, with no regard for my feelings, "and if you make any attempt to escape, not only you, but your whole pack will be punished."I gritted my teeth and stared at him angrily. "Do you think that's going
Roberta POVOn the first day of my freedom, I decided to go out. The sunlight outside was blinding, and I had a hard time opening my eyes. The long absence of freedom made me feel strange, but I knew that every minute was precious. Despite my still weak body, I decided to try to raise funds for my wolf pack as soon as possible. The handcuffs had been removed, but the sense of restraint in my heart was still heavy.I went straight to my room, which was a private room just for me. Marcus had never cared about my life at home. I opened my computer and tried to check my account balance through online banking. When I entered my password, a cold and impersonal message appeared on the screen: "Account has been frozen." The sense of unease in my heart instantly grew, and I immediately realized that this must have been Marcus's doing. He not only imprisoned me, but also cut off all my economic ties to the outside world.Anger boiled within me, and I picked up my phone and dialed Marcus's numbe
Roberta POVAlston took me back to the Twilight Pack from the hospital, silent and seemingly thinking. I sat quietly beside him, full of contradiction and confusion. When I entered the Twilight Pack, I felt a familiar and strange atmosphere, a place where I used to live, but now with different emotions.Alston led me to my own room, which was almost identical to the one I had lived in, and seemed to be cleaned every day. It was simple and comfortable. He motioned for me to sit down, walked to the window, looked out into the distance for a long time, and then said, "Roberta, your condition is worse than I thought."I listened in silence, expecting it, but it made me feel heavy to hear him say it himself."Marcus's control is not limited to physical bondage, but deeper psychological repression and oppression."Alston turned, his eyes penetrating. "You're in a very dangerous state if you continue like this."I frowned, ambivalent: "I understand, but I can't just give up." And Marcus won't
Roberta POVIt had been some time since I returned home, and my father began to delegate some of the responsibilities of managing the pack to me again. What upset me the most was that Marcus didn't react to my behavior, he didn't even send someone out to look for me. It was like a knife hanging over my head, ready to fall and cut my neck.The early morning sun shone through the mist on the trees, ushering in a new day. I went out for a break, standing on the high ground on the edge of town, looking out over the forest and mountains in the distance, my mind wandering in Alston's confession. The conversation that morning was like a sudden storm that disturbed my inner peace."Roberta," Alston's voice rang behind me, and I turned, his blue eyes with an indescribable firmness, "there's something I've been wanting to say to you."My heart was tight, vaguely guessing what he was going to say, but I chose to face it. "What is it, Alston?"He took a deep breath as if preparing for the words h
Roberta POVEver since that day when I passed out after seeing Marcus, I haven't been out much. There were a lot more attacks in the Pack, and the number of injured werewolves gradually increased, and Alston could no longer accompany me all day as before, and he had to go to the hospital every day.I always felt that this had something to do with Marcus, and my heart was full of anxiety and doubt. Over the past few days, my father, Aaron, had been in a state that was vaguely troubling to me. He seemed weaker than ever, his face pale, his eyes tired."Roberta," my father's voice said from behind me, and I turned to see him walking slowly toward me. His step was still firm, but I could see that he was trying to hide his discomfort."Father," I said, approaching him and looking anxiously at him, "you don't look well. Do you need a rest?"My father shook his head and forced a smile. "I'm fine, Roberta. It's just pack business."I knew he didn't want me to worry, but I couldn't contain my
Marcus POVI stood at the entrance of the hospital, quietly waiting for Roberta's appearance. The complex emotions in my heart kept surging. I forced myself to remain calm and looked around expressionlessly.When Roberta left Crescent Moon Pack, I wasn't surprised. But I also wasn't worried about what would happen at all. I knew she had nowhere to go. The shackles on her were more than she could imagine. She might run away, but she would eventually come back.So I chose to let her be there for a while."Even I can't understand you anymore," Dixon suddenly spoke. This was the first time I'd heard his voice since the last time we talked. He wasn't dissatisfied with me; it was just that the connection between us was also weakening. I knew very well that this was the result of my destroying the mate bond."Stop talking," I sighed. "You should know what I'm thinking."Soon, Roberta walked out of the hospital. There was a hint of unease and hesitation in her gaze. We looked at each other fo
Roberta POVIn my sleep, memories of the past kept flashing through my mind.Life at home as a child, training with friends, laughing together. Alston was like a brother to me, always looking out for me. He was so dependable and trusted. Now, however, it all seems so strange and distant.Once, I woke from a deep sleep and heard footsteps not far away. The footsteps were heavy and slow, as if with some kind of pressure. I held my breath and tried to raise my head to see who was coming. A tall figure appeared in front of the iron railings. It was Marcus. His face was hidden in shadow, and his expression was not clear."Roberta, you're awake." His voice was deep and cold, very different from the warm leader of the past."Marcus, why are you doing this to me?" My voice was weak but confused.He was silent for a moment, then gave a sneer. "It's done. I've been caught up in it, and so have you."I struggled, trying to get up, but the chains held me back.Marcus didn't say anything more. He j
Roberta POVThe night had shrouded the entire tribe, with only a faint moonlight filtering through the thick canopy and sprinkling on the ground. I stepped forward gently, feeling the tranquility and serenity around me. Since the entire pack began to prepare for battle, this was my daily patrol route, and every step seemed to blend with this land. However, there was an unusual smell in the air tonight, which made me heighten my vigilance.During the patrol, I accidentally caught a familiar scent - it was Zora's. She had been missing for several days, and people in the tribe were all worried about her safety. I followed the direction of the scent, moving forward quickly and silently, with a vague sense of foreboding in my heart.Through the thick forest, I came to a hidden clearing. The moonlight shone in the center of the clearing, and I saw a terrifying scene: Zora and her brother were commanding a team. These people looked well-equipped and were clearly not ordinary hunters or guard
Marcus POV"Marcus, what are you thinking about?" Roberta's voice rang out beside my ear, carrying a hint of worry.I looked up at her, those eyes that once made me hate but now were filled with complicated emotions. "Nothing. Just thinking about what to do next."The campfire danced in the night wind, reflecting the anxiety and unease on each of our faces. This was the first time we had met in so many days. I hadn't been able to establish a link with Dixon for a long time, and my power was gradually weakening. I sat beside the campfire, the wine in my cup already gone, but I wasn't the slightest bit drunk. The flame of revenge had burned in my heart for years, but now it was gradually extinguishing because of her insistence.She nodded slightly and sat beside me. "I'm also thinking about exactly what we have to face."I took a deep breath, trying to suppress the wavering in my heart. For years, I had firmly believed that revenge was my only goal. However, now I have begun to doubt wh
Roberta POVAfter the meeting with Zora that time, I truly realized her ambition.I originally thought that she just wanted to use the identity of Marcus' savior to facilitate her becoming the Luna of this tribe. This could also explain why she has always been hostile to me. But now it seems that she wants more than just that, or rather, the person behind her wants more than that.The flaws in the story she told have completely exposed her. But when she casually mentioned the upcoming ceremony, I vaguely sensed something amiss.The ceremony they want to hold is not an ordinary werewolf sacrifice at all, but a terrifying ritual that sacrifices an entire werewolf tribe. This is a long-lost ritual, and once discovered, it will be regarded as an act of betrayal against the entire werewolf society.After returning, I hesitated again and again, but still chose to tell Booth what I heard.Booth listened to me, and his expression grew increasingly grave. "What is their goal?""To control our
Roberta POVEvelyn talked non-stop about Marcus. Booth and I followed her into a café, and unconsciously, the morning passed. For me, except for clearly knowing that she was hostile to me, it can be said that there was no gain.Rather than saying that Evelyn was the one who saved Marcus at that time, it's better to say that she was just a fanatical admirer of Marcus. I thought this in my heart and took another sip of coffee somewhat speechlessly.Seemingly noticing my movement, Evelyn said, as if intentionally or unintentionally, "Booth, you know, right? Originally, it was me who was going to be paired with Marcus as a mate."Upon hearing this, Booth's movement in his hand paused, and then he smiled and said, "That was a long time ago. Besides, weren't you just joking?""I wasn't!" Evelyn seemed to be poked at a sore spot, and her voice raised a level sharply, "I was always serious!"I was startled by her tone and looked at her in surprise. Just then, a woman dressed very ordinarily w
Roberta POV"Marcus would have died if it weren't for me." Zora's arrogant voice echoed in my ears, filled with thick provocation. Every word of hers was like a sharp blade, stabbing into my heart.I could no longer ignore Zora's existence. Every time she mentioned her "life-saving grace", Marcus chose to remain silent. I thought Marcus loved her because of this, but now it seemed that this love had turned into a shackle binding him. This raised a hint of suspicion in my heart.Early the next morning, I found Booth. Booth seemed to always be on my side, but he always hesitated whenever it came to matters involving Marcus."Booth, I need your help," I said straightforwardly.Booth nodded. "What's the matter?""Zora, her behavior is not right. I need to investigate her background and her true motives," I said without hesitation.Booth raised an eyebrow, a glint of interest flashing in his eyes. "Oh? What did you discover?""She said she saved Marcus when they were kids, but the details
Marcus POVThe nightfall descended, and the moonlight spilled like water over the vast forest. I stood by the window of my office, gazing at the bottomless darkness, but my thoughts drifted back to a conversation a few days ago.Zora suddenly mentioned that she was my savior, which left me speechless for a moment. There was a hint of undetectable threat in her tone, attempting to use this to force me to make the decision she demanded."Marcus, I saved your life. You won't forget that, will you?" Her voice was soft yet dangerous, like honey wrapped with venom.I took a deep breath and tried to calm the turmoil inside me. "Of course not, Zora. I'll always be grateful to you, but that doesn't mean I'll agree to all your requests."Her eyes turned cold instantly, revealing a hint of displeasure. "You owe me, Marcus. I only ask you to separate from Roberta. Is that so difficult for you?"I shook my head firmly, "This isn't a simple request, Zora. Roberta is my partner, and she's very impor
Roberta POVAfter Zora was sternly stopped by Marcus and was told that I wouldn't have to donate blood to her anymore, the relationship between her and Marcus seemed to have changed. My heart was still troubled by the documents I found at Zora's residence that day. There seemed to be some unspeakable secrets about this woman.This night, due to insomnia, I was strolling in the courtyard. The night wind blew gently, carrying a hint of coolness. Suddenly, a murmur came from the depths of the woods, breaking the tranquility of the night. Out of curiosity, I quietly followed. By the faint moonlight, I saw a scene that I would never forget.Zora stood in the middle of the clearing, holding a sharp dagger in her hand. There was a kind of madness in her eyes, and on her wrist, she was carving something with that dagger. I held my breath and hid behind a tree. The scene in front of me shocked me greatly - what she was carving on her wrist was a moon-shaped birthmark.At this moment, I felt a
Marcus POVAs the night wore on, a hush fell over the camp. Moonlight through the cracks in the leaves cast a dappled shadow, reflected in every corner of the camp. I haven't had peace of mind since that terrible tribal battle. Roberta's recent weakness and exhaustion worried me.I decided to go back to the pack house and check on Roberta. Although I have deliberately distanced myself from our relationship, I still worry about her situation here.The other reason is that I need to be close to her, too. My strength has been declining rapidly, and I need to find Roberta to regain my strength.I walked home at a brisk pace, only an uneasy premonition rising in my heart. The guard at the gate respectfully stepped aside when he saw me. I flung open the door, my heart clenched at what I saw.Roberta was pinned to a chair by two strong men. Zora was holding a sharp knife. Blood gushed from Roberta's wrist and dripped to the floor. Her face was pale, and she was obviously very weak."Stop!" I
Roberta POVBack in our pack house, I was about to lie down and rest, trying to relax myself. Suddenly, the door of the pack house was kicked open forcefully, and Zora appeared at the door. She was smiling as always, but there was a glint in her eyes that made me uneasy."Roberta, I want to talk to you." She walked in, her voice sweet but with a hint of coercion."Zora, this is not a good time for a talk. I'm not feeling well and need to rest." I tried to remain calm, although my heart was already in turmoil."Oh, I've heard about your health condition." She slowly approached me, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. "However, I'm here today for something important. You haven't given me blood for a long time, do you remember?"I frowned. "Zora, I've already said that I won't donate blood to you anymore. Especially in my current condition."Zora's face instantly turned gloomy. "Roberta, this is not a big deal for you. But for me, it's crucial."I felt a chill rising up my sp
