**Elizabeth's POV***"How have you been?" Caleb asked about the recent developments in my life. But I got the distinct feeling that what he really wanted to say was something else.Rather than poke holes in his hiding, I replied patiently and sincerely, " Thanks to you and Carolina, I am enjoying my life here. This is by far the happiest I have ever lived in my life."That's good." Caleb gave a relieved smile.I must say Caleb has the best smile I have ever seen. Each time he curled his lips, I felt like I saw the Snowy Mountains' melting in the sunlight and slowly converging into streams.He really should smile more, instead of always frowning or keeping a straight face.I have seen him from a distance during this time. He was quite serious. He had a kind of maturity that did not fit his age. It was like a 27 year old soul living in a 19 year old body.I restrained myself from staring into Caleb's eyes. His eyes are full of sad stories that make me subconsciously want to explore dee
**Jamie's POV***Steven was frightened by my imposing manner and shut his mouth. But the look in his eyes always declared his defiance.I grabbed his beard and said, "Listen, you better forget about what we did before. If I succeed in becoming Luna, I may make you a Beta, or even an Alpha. But, if I am exposed for the lie that I am, then I will tell everyone that it was you, Steven, our esteemed Delta, who revealed to me what there was about the prophecy and the notebook. You were the one who made me pretend to be the savior. We are in cahoots.""You bitch!"I shot a glance at him and Steven immediately closed his mouth. His forehead was covered with sweat, he was completely stunned by me.After half a minute, Steven finally accepted this fact. He slowly spoke, "If I help you marry Alpha and become Luna, will you promise to let me be Beta?""I promise.""Deal."Looking at the greed in Steven's eyes. I knew I had an extra ally. I smiled smugly.Why is gambling addictive? Because the o
**Elizabeth's POV***Jamie tried to speculate on my heart with the most vicious thoughts. I was utterly disappointed in Jamie. She made me sick.I wanted to leave straight away to find Caleb and expose Jamie's lies, but she held on to my arm."Where do you want to go? You can not leave! Listen, ugly freak, you can not let Alpha know about our conversation! Because you can not explain why you know I am the fake savior! Are you going to voluntarily admit that the notebook Alpha picked up was yours? Are you sure?"My rationality had prevailed. My footsteps came to a halt.What Jamie had just said was right. If I wanted to expose her, then I would have to admit that I was the prophesied destined savior."As you said before, you don't know the method to eradicating the virus. Are you going to let them know this harsh truth? Everyone is expecting your appearance to bring them salvation. Are you going to send everyone into despair? Also, do you really think that the Alpha would rather belie
48 Sexy, curvaceous body**Caleb's POV***We were so close that I could smell her sweet, warm breath. It was a strange feeling. I felt my cheeks become hot.She has very beautiful eyes, a delicate, high nose, and plump, nicely shaped lips. She has a Well-featured face. I am 100% sure that Elizabeth would be a beauty if she did not have scars on her face.I was startled the first time I saw the scars on Elizabeth's face, but after seeing them more often, I am now completely used to them. I could totally ignore the scars and just see her features."Please let go of me."Elizabeth reminded, before I noticed that I was clinging to her waist."OH, SORRY."I let go and Elizabeth moved out of my arms. In the brief physical contact, I suddenly realized that hidden beneath the black robe was a sexy, curvaceous body.I held my breath, my heart suddenly beating faster several times. I did not even dare to look at her.I saw Elizabeth walking toward the cage again from the corner of my eye, and
**Jamie's POV** * Perhaps the strong mate bond would make the Alpha ignore the freak's ugliness and fall in love with her. Few people could resist the Moon Goddess' arrangement, could not they? My sense of crisis grew stronger and my heart grew restless. I could not keep the ugly freak around any longer. She kept insisting that she did not know the method to eradicate the infectious virus. I don't think I will be able to get what I want out of her in any case. It was time to change my plans. I originally wanted to make a win-win partnership with the ugly bitch. She helped me become Luna, and I offered her a better life. But now, I am afraid we can not have a partnership, but a competition. Since she chose to be my competitor, she has to be ready to pay with her life. I will kick her out of the Poison Mist Forest! **Elizabeth's POV** * I spent a week analyzing the virus components in the blood with rudimentary instruments that I built myself. Guess what the results were? No
**Elizabeth's POV** * "You, walk up to High Altar." delta urged us from behind us. Carolina and I were walking towards the High Altar when I suddenly realized that the person standing in the center of the High Altar was Jamie, not Carolina's brother Caleb. Just as I was about to walk up High Altar with Carolina, delta suddenly separated my hand from Carolina's. "She can go up alone. Carolina, you stay down there." delta said. Carolina wanted to refuse, but she was mute and she could not speak at all. All she could do was say, soundlessly, with her mouth, "No! No!" It finally dawned on me. This was a trap Jamie had set up specifically to target me. I did not want to get Carolina into trouble. So I did not insist on getting her on the High Altar with me, knowing that no one would hurt her in this pack. I walked up to High Altar alone and came face to face with Jamie. She looked at me and gave me a sneer. Then she raised her voice and said to all the people gathered under the
**Elizabeth's POV** * I figured out the loophole in her words, "Ridiculous! The contagion was already prevalent before I came to the Poison Mist Forest. Would the Moon Goddess never teach you the next step if I had not come here, not gotten driven away by you, not become that so-called first step?" "Can you really communicate with the Moon Goddess in your dreams? Are you really qualified to announce something on behalf of the Goddess? Or are you just doing something you want to do in the name of the Moon Goddess?" Under my battery of questions, Jamie took a step back. She couldn't refute me. I saw her turn with her eyes to Delta, who was standing beside High Altar. Delta asked one of the warriors standing next to him to take Carolina away. He walked up to High Altar, and raised his voice to say loudly. "Lady, stop your useless arguments. No matter what you say, it will not change the fact that your presence will not benefit our pack in any way. Meanwhile, once what that savior sa
**Elizabeth's POV** * I used all my strength to squeeze the venom from Carolina's wounds. It worked. The blood flowing from the wounds began to turn red. But this apparently did not stop the poison from spreading through Carolina's body. Her entire arm turned purple, even though I had torn my skirt into long strips of cloth and tied it tightly around her shoulders. I didn't know after how long, I heard Caleb's wail. "No! Carolina!" He was finally returning. He had to face such terrible news as soon as he came back. Caleb rushed to me and hugged Carolina tightly. I could see his face was full of tears of despair. He cried out, "Doctor! Doctor! Doctors! Save her! Save her! My Carolina!" I watched as the doctors grabbed the first aid kit and rescued Carolina, and I sat there like a broken puppet. I thought I heard Caleb say something like "priest", but I couldn't quite make it out. My ears were ringing, and I was dizzy. My hands were covered in black blood. But I didn't care about
