Chapter: Epilogue Nicholas I was peering out the window, clutching the cigarette I had just lighted, waiting for an update. I sent Kairo to spy on Crescentius, but the fool was caught, so I despatched Milan to spy. I was in the midst of my thought when the door to my office opened, and the wounded Kairo appeared. Angry, I delivered a powerful punch to his face, causing him to fly against the wall. He groaned in pain before falling to his knees. "You careless fool!" I growled. Kairo coughed up blood before struggling to rise. He was tortured so much because of the number of wounds on his body. Well, Luke does not easily let go of rogues. They kill them after torturing them. So how did Kairo get away? I puffed on my cigarettes, thinking about something. "How did you escape?" "Trek's youngest daughter released me," he admitted. I throw my cigarettes away while hearing Kairo's pathetic report. He was saved by a woman and not just any ordinary she-wolf, for she is the enemy's daughter. Look at how fa

Chapter: 81.Aria's POVNatasha's rage puts the baby she's carrying in danger. Fortunately, Doctor Green intervened quickly to prevent a possible miscarriage. So, instead of coming in the hospital for a check-up, Natasha ended up being confined. Her pregnancy wasn't quite healthy; a little stress would have stripped the pups she was carrying away."Let her take this medicine on a daily basis; it will help the baby grow healthy inside her," Doctor Green stated as she handed us a pill.She spoke softly, moved smoothly, and was very professional. Earlier, when Natasha attempted to scratch her face and cause havoc in the hospital, she calmly dodged her attack and injected her with a calming antidote.Rejecting her was probably Matthew's biggest regret. She is the epitome of grace and elegance. Not to mention how respectable her profession is. If I were in her shoes, I would never assist the woman my mate prefers over me. Nonetheless, she put her personal life aside and remain professional. She handl

Chapter: 80.Aria's POVLast night's conversation with Nicholas took us nowhere. He became irritated, so instead of staying outside for a few hours, we returned home earlier than planned. But, to be fair, despite his irritation, he didn't left me there. He's truly improved; perhaps he learned his lesson from the past."Luna Aria, there's a letter for you," Elora said as she handed me an envelope.I accepted it while combing my hair. The texture and fragrance of the envelope felt familiar. Only Crescentius sent letters on ivory paper, and the logo on the front of the envelope proved my claim. When I opened it, there was a small piece of paper stick inside. "M.S." I read the writing at the bottom.After reading the letter's contents, my breath caught in my throat and I had to stop combing my hair. I went back and read what had been said to make sure it wasn't just a delusion, but it wasn't. It was real. Mysha send me a letter. She wished for us to speak.My heart swelled with excitement.

Chapter: 79.Aria's POVWe returned home as dusk approached. I knew Nicholas had made us stay in the village for a half-day so I could spend time with my new found family. That man frequently works behind my back, not to hurt me, but to make me happy."I wish I'd get to reconcile with, Mysha," I blurted out as we approached the gate.The previous conflict had been resolved. Nicholas and I are also steadily establishing our relationship, and my human family has accepted me. Only my relationship with Mysha remains unresolved. "You'll reconcile sooner, love. Let time heal the wounds of the past or....how about you reach out for her?" he advised as he parked the car.My goal had always been to mend our shattered connection. I want to reach out to her, but every time our previous encounter comes to mind, fear stops me. She wanted me dead. So I'm worried that if I go to Crescentius, I won't make it out alive. Aside from my issue with Mysha, Alpha Luke had also disgusted me. I knew he was rational, but

Chapter: 78.Aria's POVI was drifting off into space, recalling what had just transpired. Things had quickly gotten out of hand. I'm not sure how to respond to all of the thoughts racing through my mind. It's commendable that the Elder acted fast and dispatched someone to address the disagreement. They also clarified what transpired in the past and cleared up any confusion. And Mysha was mistaken; our parents duped her into believing their lies, which she did.Our parents' previous attack on Rojo La Luna was laced with jealousy and threat. The reason they claimed Nicholas's parents were hiding in the rogue, even though they weren't."Are you okay?" Nicholas asked, sliding his hand on my stomach, hugging me from behind.I sighed before nodding. The trace of blood from Mysha earlier haunts me with worries. She is pregnant, yet she is willing to jeopardize her health for the sake of vengeance. Mysha is a fool for making that decision. She endangers not just her people, but also herself and the baby

Chapter: 77.Aria's POVAngered by the discourse she had with Nicholas, Mysha launched an attack. Our defense line was the first to meet Mysha's army of wolves, followed by the attacker, and they did the same. I looked at the sister I once admired, and I can't seem to find the familiarity in her anymore. She's totally different."Is there no other way to end this war?" I asked Nicholas.I don't want us to get to the point where blood is spilt and there is nothing left in the land because of my and Nicholas' parents, who are the basis of all of this. They're gone, therefore this meaningless fight must come to an end. We'll never know who uttered the truth on both sides because they're all dead. They are no longer present to testify about what occurred in the past. So, why are you still hanging on to that sad phase of life? We should all go on and forget about it. We will never progress if we remain rooted in the past. "If the Elders find out about this, both packs will suffer greatly," Natasha sa

Chapter: Chapter 11 Aila Coraline I was a little troubled when I went back to the packhouse. I couldn't shake off the suspicion about the sudden rogue attack days ago. Zayn thought it was accidental and wanted me to dismiss it. I knew I had to, at least to trust him, but my mother was left there, and I feared it would happen again. "To the community bus, everyone. We'll head to the homestead by sunset," Zayn announced. We would be assigned to the homestead until the end of the month. I heard that most rogue attacks happened there, so I expected little from our duty there. "I'm gonna miss my dog," someone behind me whispered. Most were grumbling about the things they'd miss once we were assigned to the homestead. I could relate somehow. Once I got there, it would be even farther from our house and my mother. "Is everyone here?" Zayn asked after he entered the community bus. He looked around and then caught my eye. "Coraline, come sit beside me," he said, patting the seat next to him. I

Chapter: Chapter 10 Aila Coraline Growling and shouting greeted me when I reached the border to the north farm. From a distance, I could see an ongoing fight. I wondered if my father had gone there to rescue the rest. There hadn't been much rogue activity for a while. The borders were monitored, and watchmen were stationed on every side. How did they manage to get past the border when there were watchmen at every point? "Coraline! Finally, you're here. Go check on your mother!" Anastasia yelled at me when she saw me. The first line of defense was already in the field, trying to stop the rampage. Zayn and the rest were also heading there as we arrived. "Mother!" I called as I entered the house. I couldn't find her anywhere. I checked all the rooms, the kitchen, even the basement, but she was nowhere to be found. Where is she? Panic started to rise within me. I tried to stay calm and think rationally, but every second that passed made it harder. I took a deep breath and retraced my steps, l

Chapter: Chapter 9Aila CoralineI didn’t understand why Zayn was teaching me how to backflip. Was that even necessary when we were dealing with enemies? Did we really need to be tumbling around like acrobats?"Can you shut up? I'm trying!" I frustratedly snapped.He kept telling me to go with the wind and lead my body. What did he mean by that? This was my first time attempting a backflip, and I seriously doubted its importance in a fight."Just trust the process, Coraline. It's about fluidity and control," he replied.“Fluidity and control? We’re not doing gymnastics here, Zayn!” I shot back. “We need to learn how to take down opponents, not do tricks!”He chuckled, clearly amused by my annoyance. “You’d be surprised how useful it can be. The ability to move unpredictably can give you an advantage in a fight.”“Unpredictable? Sure, if I don’t break my neck first!” I exclaimed, shaking my head. “What’s next? A cartwheel? Should I bring a tutu while we’re at it?”“Hey, don’t knock the cartwheel. It coul

Chapter: Chapter 8Aila Coraline I expected Alpha Samuel to throw me out of the pack, but a week has passed, and it never happened. Somehow, I am thankful. I know how hard it would be if I went rogue. My mother would be devastated."Aren't you supposed to head back to the packhouse? You're supposed to join Zayn at the homestead, right?" Anastasia asked.She has a small farm, and I often help her with the chores. Her mate is the highest-ranking general in charge of the male warriors, and she's been eager to lead the training for the female werewolves, but Alpha Samuel disapproves. If Anastasia were the one to train the she-wolves instead of Zayn, I’d gladly and wholeheartedly participate."I'm not planning on going back there," I replied.As the beta's daughter, I know the duties they expect me to uphold. They assume I’ll follow in my father's footsteps, but the truth is, I don’t want that life.Before Anastasia could respond, a familiar voice interrupted us."Well, this is where you've been hiding."I

Chapter: Chapter 7Aila Coraline "I know a place you can go, just in case Alpha Samuel kicks you out," Anastasia reassured me.I had returned home after the mess I caused in Alpha Samuel’s office. I let my emotions get the best of me and said things I shouldn’t have. My mother understood, but she wasn’t pleased with how careless I had been with my words."Do you think Alpha Samuel will really kick me out?" I asked, the thought suddenly weighing on me."We never know. You know he can't be tested. He's kicked out plenty of pack members before—what makes you any different?"She was right. Alpha Samuel was righteous in his own way, never one to tolerate mistakes. And my mistake? Bursting into his office like a disrespectful twat. I should’ve shown more respect; he’s still the Alpha, after all.Just as I was lost in my thoughts, my mother walked in with my father close behind. I could already sense the tension in the room before a word was spoken."What were you thinking?" my father scolded, his voice harsh

Chapter: Chapter 6Aila Coraline I had no allies in the packhouse—not even my father. He always took everyone else's side, never mine. I had learned to live with it, but it still felt unfair.“She didn’t start the fight; it was Cynthia. I saw it,” Zayn defended me, interrupting Cynthia’s father, who was insistent that I had provoked his daughter.We were in Alpha Samuel’s office, called to resolve what had happened yesterday. They wanted us to reconcile, but I had no intention of forgiving.“My daughter is short-tempered. I’d apologize if she hurt your daughter,” my father said, as if my pain was just a minor inconvenience to him.I felt a rush of heat surge through my chest. His words, cold and detached, were the final straw.“She’s only hurt because she always provokes me! I didn’t start this war, so why are you apologizing? Did they ever apologize to me? No!” I snapped, unable to contain the flood of emotions building up inside me.My father’s eyes darkened, his glare sharp enough to pierce through

Chapter: Chapter 8Alice Two days had passed since Karina’s disappearance, and there was still no news. I felt as if everything was moving at a snail’s pace, but deep down, I knew I had to trust my father—he knew better than I.“Princess, the King would like to see you,” a maidservant called out, interrupting my thoughts.I took a deep breath, pushing aside my worries about Karina as I made my way to the throne room. I hadn’t realized how distracted I had been; today was my father’s birthday, a day I should have been celebrating instead of dwelling on the missing pieces of my life. As I entered, the grand room was adorned with decorations—streamers and banners of gold and blue hung from the walls, and the scent of freshly baked pastries filled the air.“Ah, Alice,” my father said warmly, looking up from a pile of documents. “I’m glad you’re here. We have much to prepare for today’s celebration.”“Father, I—” I started, but he raised a hand to silence me gently.“I understand your concern for Karina,” h

Chapter: Chapter 7Alice After an hour of preparation for my father’s approaching birthday, I decided to head down to the underground battleground. I needed to vent my stress through practice, hoping to let go of all my anxieties and disappointments. My father seemed unconcerned about the stolen jewel now, which perplexed me. Just days ago, he was the one most worried about the lost diamond, and now that we had discovered where it was, he appeared indifferent. “Argh!” I yelled with each stroke of my blade. The metal figure swung back and forth, north to south, in response to my strikes. The piercing sound of grinding metal reverberated throughout the vast space. I paused, taking a deep breath. After an hour of practice, I could feel the weariness in my knees as they wobbled. I decided to sit on the ground, using my sword as a prop. My face was drenched with sweat, and my exhaustion was evident. “Alice!” “I’ve been looking for you...” I turned my gaze to the wooden elevator as Harriet emerg

Chapter: Chapter 6Alice Even though it was 9 a.m., the sun refused to shine. Thunder and lightning raged on the ground, and thick clouds obscured the heavens. Rain fell in torrents, making a buzzing sound on the ground. The weather seemed to mirror the kingdom's misfortunes and reflect my own turbulent emotions. Confused thoughts raced through my mind as I paced back and forth in my room. The fire in my heart grew stronger with each passing minute; I felt an urge to sneak out of the castle and venture into the enemy's den to find the diamond. However, my mind was torn as I weighed the possible outcomes. If I left, my father would undoubtedly worry, and it could ignite a sudden war, which I desperately wanted to avoid. This was turning out to be one of the most complex decisions I had ever faced in my life. I finally sat down and scratched my head in frustration. The King's birthday was approaching, yet retrieving the gem felt increasingly difficult. Not only could the coronation be delayed because

Chapter: Chapter 5Alice I wore a princess-style gown as I attended Karina's father's trial, where we aimed to prove his innocence. Last night, we managed to find the Magical Bug, and fortunately, it recognized our presence, resulting in the blinding light we witnessed. Currently, the underground royal room was packed with people, and the living mirror was securely locked away. The Windston Royal family, along with the most trusted royal knights, gathered here. As the royalties engaged in casual conversation on the left side of the room, I couldn't help but notice Prince Casper's restlessness in the right corner. Karina was bombarding him with questions, and he appeared agitated. The Royal Knights began arranging the four mirrors to form intersections, one each for the south, north, east, and west. They placed a round table within the mirrors and set the magical bug on top. The room filled with a blinding light as the magical bug reflected in the mirrors. Prince Casper erupted in anger, spitting acc

Chapter: Chapter 4Alice As my cousins and I ventured deeper into the Enchanted Forest of Doria, the conversation from the day before still lingered in my mind. Karina's desperate plea weighed on me, and I wished I could have helped her more. But the truth was, I couldn't. The wand, Elizabeth's wand, could only be used by her descendants, and I wasn't one of them. "Alice, as much as I may appear thick-faced... can you assist me in detecting who the culprit is? You have the greatest authority among the three of us. Can't you use Elizabeth's wand?" Karina's anguished plea had tugged at my heartstrings. "Of course, I'll help, Karina, but as you know, I'm not a sorcerer. I'm unable to utilize the wand," I explained, the frustration evident in my voice. Elizabeth had been the kingdom's most powerful sorceress, and her wand was a symbol of her unmatched magic. Even though she had passed away many years ago, her descendants were yet to be found. "Wait! Do you remember the Mirror of Truth in the Longsati c

Chapter: Chapter 3Alice As my cousins and I made our way to the royal kitchen, something strange caught our attention within the palace. It was impossible to ignore – every royal guard and even the palace knights had paraded into the royal hall. The same hall that was reserved for important meetings and deliberations, especially during times of war. We exchanged puzzled glances, our curiosity piqued and decided to follow the crowd into the hall. Upon entering the venue, I was taken aback by what I saw. A long table dominated the center of the room, already nearly complete with attendees. Even the entire royal family was present, which was unusual for an unscheduled conference. I took my seat, choosing one close to my mother, the reigning Queen. My confusion was evident in my expression, and I couldn't help but convey it to her with a questioning look. She, in turn, simply urged me to be patient and wait for the meetings to proceed in their proper order. Restlessly, I scanned the room, my eyes comin

Chapter: Chapter 36Emerald The hallway fell into a stunned silence after my words. Even Nicholas, who always seemed composed no matter the situation, looked momentarily caught off guard. Matthew simply stared at me. The pain in his silver-flecked eyes softened into something dangerously close to hope, and I instantly hated it. Hope led to expectations. Expectations led to disappointment. “You would do that?” Nicholas finally asked carefully. “I’m not doing it for the pack,” I replied stiffly, crossing my arms over my chest. “And I’m not doing it for him.” My gaze flicked briefly toward Matthew before I looked away again. “The child is innocent. That’s all that matters.” Matthew swallowed hard. For a second, he looked like he wanted to say something, but instead he only gave a slow nod. “I’ll send scouts immediately,” he said quietly. “If they ride through the storm, they should return before tomorrow night.” I nodded once and stepped back into my room before either of them could see

Chapter: Chapter 35EmeraldA week into my stay at the packhouse, the silence was my only companion. I kept to my word, remaining in the far wing, as far from the Alpha’s quarters as the architecture would allow. I took my meals in my room and spent my hours staring at the winter sky, trying to reconcile the void in my heart with the hollow ache in my body.One morning, the restlessness became too much. I needed water, and I didn't want to wait for an Omega to bring it. I gripped the door handle and pulled it open just as the door directly across the narrow hallway clicked.Matthew stepped out.He froze when he saw me, his hand still on his doorknob, looking like a thief caught in the act.I looked at the door he had just exited, then back at him.

Chapter: Chapter 34Emerald The door swung open with a heavy thud, the sound jarring against the fragile silence of the room. I expected a nurse or perhaps my parents, but it was Nicholas. The Alpha looked as though he had aged ten years in a single night. His jaw was set, and his eyes were hard as flint, burning with a cold, administrative fury that only comes when a leader has been betrayed from within.He didn't look at the monitors or the bandages. He looked straight at Matthew, then at me."It wasn't a random raid," Nicholas said, his voice dropping like a stone into a deep well. "We’ve finished the interrogations of the survivors. The rogues didn't just stumble upon the homestead."Matthew stood up, his hands trembling. "What are you saying, Nick?""I’m saying the border patrols were diverted by a forged order from the council office," Nicholas replied, stepping further into the room. He held up a blood-stained piece of parchment. "An order that came

Chapter: Chapter 33Emerald The chaos deepened as my parents shifted, their fur gray and weathered but their eyes burning with the same desperate fire as mine. We were a pack of three, a small, fierce circle of silver and gray against the encroaching black. As I tore into the throat of a rogue, a sickening thought pierced through my battle haze. Why us? Why this quiet corner of the pack? Rogues were scavengers, not an army. This felt targeted. Distraction was my mistake. A massive, slate-gray wolf slammed into my side with the force of a falling boulder. I was thrown backward, my heavy frame colliding with the ancient oak tree where Matthew had stood his penance just days ago. The impact knocked the wind from my lungs, and before I could recover, the rogue pinned me against the rough bark. His teeth sank deep into my shoulder, a jagged, hot agony that made my vision swim. I clawed at his face, my back arching as I tried to throw him off, but he was heav

He looked at me with eyes full of a pathetic, shattering realization, but I couldn't find an ounce of pity for him. My hand drifted down, hovering over my stomach, not in a gesture of affection, but as if I were trying to shield my soul from the parasite growing within. "The Goddess does not have mercy for me," I whispered, the words trembling with a bitterness so deep it felt like poison. I looked at him, my eyes snapping with a jagged, broken light. "While you had choices back then to reject me, I didn't have that, Matthew. Now, I still don't. I looked for a way out. I wanted to rip this monster’s seed out of me. I wanted to abort the reminder of every scream I uttered in that den. I wanted to be free of the blood that was forced upon me." Matthew’s face went pale, his breath hitching. "Emerald..."

We sat by the fire, catching up on the trivialities of the medical center, and for a few hours, the world felt almost normal. We laughed at Jay’s stories about the stubborn elders in the infirmary, and Zen showed me new binding techniques for herbal poultices.
