FREDERICKI was walking down the hallway when I heard some noise coming from Tessa's room. I came to a halt. The need to rush into the room and check what happened right away was crazy."Is she awake?" Odette asked, turning her head toward Tessa's room."I will check." I couldn't hold myself back anymore.I ordered her maid, or whoever was looking after her, to keep things quiet since Tessa needed a calm and restful break. So I figured the noise wasn't coming from the maids. The noise quieted down immediately the moment I stepped inside. Tessa was already awake. My heart sank as I saw her standing up instead of lying down on the bed. And no one informed about this? How come?Then my focus turned to Bridget and Gwyneth, who had been around for who knows how long. Their presence here clearly wasn't welcomed by Tessa.Bridget pressed her hand against her red cheek, her eyes blazing with anger."What happened?" My Luna hurried over to her friend. Odette pushed Bridget's hand away, looki
TESSAWhen I opened my eyes again after what felt like centuries, someone was holding my hand. It feels good to have someone's presence by my side. I haven't felt that way since I left the Stormhowl pack.The hold was tight, reminiscent of a warm family embrace. It makes me feel like I had someone care for me, even if it was only for a little bit... "Did you wake up? Oh, Selene! You did! I'm going to let Alpha know about this!" Daria's voice reached my ear before I could see her face clearly.I hold her back, stopping her from leaving."Tessa? What's wrong? Do you feel any pain?"I shook my head. Though no pain, my head was a little bit heavy."Alright. Just stay still, okay? The doctors advised me to rest as much as possible." I gave a nod. I followed Daria's advice. I stayed lying still on the bed even when a nurse came in to do a quick check on me. After that, she walks away again, leaving me alone with Daria.Even if no one told me, I knew that she was the only one who had stay
FREDERICKWatching my Luna in the arms of other men, my own friend, has left me feeling more insulted than I ever thought possible. It fucking tarnished my pride. No one in this world, not even my pack members, should be allowed to touch Odette, much less hold her so closely.My mouth still tastes like those creatures' blood. Six. There are six of them that managed to get into my packhouse area. I took them all down the moment I arrived. I'm not sure if there's one that managed to get away before I arrived. Let's not think of that for the moment. Once those creatures all fell, I could see a figure lying on the grass just a few steps away from Gabe and Odette.And my heart sank."Tessa," I called her name as I rushed towards her in a flash and kneeled.Anger bubbled up within me as I took in the scratch and bite mark marring her skin. On the neck, arms, and legs. "No,"I gently slid my hand beneath her, cradling her body in my arm very carefully."Open your eyes, Tessa," I said to he
TESSAI took Odette's Tea to her room this evening. Daria was meant to handle it, but since she was unwell, Odette asked me to step in for her. Now that she's the official Luna of the pack, everyone has to follow her orders without question."Come here Tessa," She called.I stepped into her room. Marina Alonso, Frederick's mother, is already here. Odette has relocated from her parent's house to reside at the Alpha's mansion since their return from the vacation.“I asked Tessa to bring it to me since Daria was unwell. Tessa was free, so I asked her for help,” Odette said to Marina, smiling. Marina smiled back at her, but when she looked at me, the smile faded away. “What are you waiting for, Tessa? Hand it over to the Luna."I carefully handed her the cup, and Odette accepted it. Our eyes locked. For a moment, I was worried she might let the cup slip from her grasp. A sly glint dances in her green eyes as she brings the cup to her lips. Then, Odette scowled. She clamped her mouth w
FREDERICK“How did they get past our border?” I growled, causing my warriors to step back. We got to the spot, but it was already too late. I clenched my fist as I saw the corpse of my warrior sprawled on the grass, blood still seeping from the gash on his chest.It was tough to keep composed when the urge to capture all the creatures and deal with them myself consumed me completely. But I need to stay alert. Those creatures appear to be smarter than I initially believed, we should be cautious with our next move."I received a report that the Moonstone pack faced the same attack two days ago, Alpha." The Moonstone Pack has the territory that's nearest to my pack. So, those creatures have made it to the heart of Montavia indeed. I'm curious if it has to do with the pack in the outer territory being overwhelmed by the rogues' attack.When those creatures come near us, my wolf should be able to pick up on their presence. What happened to my usual ability?That's when it hit me—I’ve be
FREDERICKIt takes all my strength to stay composed watching Tessa laugh with Gabe. There's a table right in front of me, and honestly, it was a miracle I didn't just hurl it at his face.This little annual gathering my grandma always hosts is already a hassle. I just don’t get why she has to invite Gabe and Tessa as well. I was planning to set her and Odette closer tonight, but it seems I'll have to wait for another opportunity."When I first met the late Alpha Maxon, my mate, he mentioned how I was too much for a She-Wolf. I said to him he was jealous because I beat him two rounds in a row while his pack members were watching." My grandmother said, sipping her tea. "I'm sure he meant it as a compliment; sometimes we males are just a little reserved," Gabe said with a big grin."Isn't that foolish? That's the quickest way to lose a woman you like. Wait a second-" She watched Gabe "That's probably a reason you haven’t found your partner mate. She might be around you, Gabe, but your
