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 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

Embracing His Rejection
"I, Matthew Sainthood, rejected you, Emerald Green, as my fated mate," he said without remorse. His eyes were cold and brutal. There was no hint of regret or any other emotion in it.
I bit my bottom lips, suppressing myself from crying. My heart was breaking into million pieces. Being rejected by your fated mate is the worst torture any she-wolves could have. But what choice do I have when he didn't even give me option but to agreed.
I gathered the last bit of strength left in me and meet his lethal stare. "I accepted your rejection." My wolf whimpered in pain and before he could see my tears fell, I turned my back on him—for good.

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. My brow furrowed.My mind raced.

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

Chapter: Chapter 31Emerald Matthew lay there on the rug, the heat of the fire mocking the ice that I knew still lived in his marrow. 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..."

Chapter: Chapter 32EmeraldThe four of them stayed the entire day, filling the cabin with a warmth that hadn't crossed the threshold in months. 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. It was the first time I felt like a healer again, rather than a patient.But the peace was fragile."I heard Natasha finally gave birth to a boy last night," Marga said, her voice casual as she reached for another biscuit. "The midwife said he looks nothing like—"Mathilda’s head snapped toward her, her eyes flashing a sharp, silent warning that cut Marga off mid-sentence. The air in the room instantly turned cold.

Chapter: Chapter 21 Aila Coraline I actually don't know what to feel. The memory of Anastasia and Nick haunts me, and I feel that if only, if only I had been able to find Anastasia, ask why she betrayed us, and resolve everything, things wouldn’t have ended this way. There are so many 'what ifs' in my mind. But I can’t seem to find a way to make it right. “It’s fate, Coraline. Anastasia was fated to end that way. Stop blaming yourself,” Mother says gently, caressing my back as she offers me a glass of milk. What am I really meant for? Long ago, I dreamed of living a simple life, though I always knew bigger responsibilities awaited me. I was destined to take over for my father and become the beta of the pack, but first, I needed to prove that I was worthy. Now, I’ve just begun, and I’ve already failed more than once. “I am disappointed in myself, and I know Father is disappointed too,” I murmur, staring into the glass as if it holds the answers. He probably thinks just as I do—blaming me for th

Chapter: Chapter 20 Aila Coraline I failed my first mission. My father wasn't proud when I couldn’t solve Anastasia’s betrayal. He thought it would be simple for me to trace her steps, but the truth is, I don’t know much about her life. We were friends—or so I believed—but she never shared as openly as I did in the past. Months have passed since she left, and there has been no sign of rogue or witch attacks. Maybe Anastasia left with a sense of loyalty, despite the pain and disgrace she endured. Perhaps she wasn’t seeking revenge against our pack. “Seleira’s birthday is next week. Samuel wants you to help his daughter,” Father announced during one of our dinners. His words pulled me from my thoughts. A certain memory crossed my mind, and for some reason, it felt like déjà vu. A few months ago, I had a dream where I attended Seleira’s birthday celebration. In that dream, she was poisoned, and I was the one accused of committing the crime. The vision ended with my death. It felt surreal, more

Chapter: Chapter 19 Aila Coraline I come with my father back in the center with a confused mind. I still couldn’t believe what they had told me. Before I went to the homestead, I had my suspicions about Anastasia, but nothing like this—betrayal? She had been so eager back then to prove her worth, hoping to lead the she-wolves. Would she really betray us? It just didn’t make sense. When we arrived back, my father sent me home immediately, assigning me this task... alone. He must believe I can handle it since Anastasia is my friend. But how am I supposed to when she’s nowhere to be found? Did she escape? Maybe she fled to another pack. "Did Anastasia say something strange in the past, Mother?" I asked. Mother was placing a tray of cookies in the microwave. "I wouldn’t call it strange," she replied, closing the microwave door with a soft click. "More like... frustration." She paused, her brows knitting. "She came here last month when you were at the center for training. She told me the Alpha had

Chapter: Chapter 18 Aila Coraline "Zayn!" I nearly had a mini-heart attack. The silhouette startled me so much that I instinctively swung a wooden stick at it. When I realized it was Zayn, my heart sank. It wasn’t personal—I swear—it was his fault for sneaking up like that. “You just love hitting me, don’t you?” Zayn grumbled, rubbing his forehead with an annoyed expression. Anna immediately jumped in to apologize on my behalf. It was ironic—she could joke about Zayn behind his back all day, but face-to-face, the fear was real. Of course, she had every reason to: Zayn was the soon-to-be Alpha. People feared him just as much as they respected him. Does that even make sense? I took a deep breath. “I thought you were a rogue,” I said, defensively. “I’m sorry, but not that sorry. If I’d known it was you, I wouldn’t have hit you—well, probably.” He raised an eyebrow at me, smirking. “Probably? Wow, how comforting.” I crossed my arms. “Well, maybe next time you’ll consider announcing yourself

Chapter: Chapter 17 Aila Coraline I tried my best to act natural, the way I used to before, pretending that Zayn didn’t affect me in any way. I’ve always been good at playing pretend, but this past week of assisting him was nothing short of a challenge. He kept teasing me about the most nonsensical things. If I dared to hope for anything, it was for him to go back to being the way he used to be—cold and distant. It would make everything so much simpler. But the way he looked at me, the way he seemed to soften around me, made it difficult to wish for that with any real conviction. “What if Zayn likes you?” Anna asked. I’m not the kind of person who talks too much about my personal life. If there’s anyone who knows more than half of me, it’s Anastasia. She’s the only one I’ve ever truly considered a friend back on the North Farm. Here, though, Anna has become someone I’ve grown close to, even more so than my fellow she-wolves. “I doubt that,” I replied, shrugging off the idea. “We’re bound by a

Chapter: Chapter 16 Zayn Chaos She's still the same as she was before. I can see through her lies because, every time she does it, her eyelashes flare—same habit. A short-lived smile crossed my face as I maneuvered the steering wheel. But as quickly as that happiness came, it was replaced with fear. I know I’m not supposed to get close to her. I shouldn’t. But nobody will defend her if not me. I’ve failed her a couple of times before, and I know I can’t fail her in this lifetime. "Remember what you promised me, Zayn," Greg warned me. "You are not going to get too close to my daughter if you want her to live longer." I’ve burned that reminder into my mind. It’s what keeps me grounded whenever I’m tempted to forget. With a sigh, I nodded. Greg is Ai’s father. I have to listen to him, no matter what. After all, I know what it feels like to lose a loved one—how much more devastating it would be for a parent.
