Hilary’s point of viewI screamed—loud, raw, my voice echoing through the walls of this cursed place. Rage boiled inside me, hot and uncontrollable. How dare life keep throwing this at me? How dare everything fall apart again? I wanted to tear everything apart, break every piece of furniture, claw at the walls until my fingers bled—but instead, I screamed until my throat burned.The door burst open. Loren. Of course. He stormed in, face twisted in irritation.“What the hell are you screaming for?” he barked, voice sharp enough to cut glass.I didn’t think—I acted. My hand flew up and smacked him across the face, the slap echoing between us. His head snapped to the side. Good. Good. Let him feel something for once instead of walking around like he owns the damn world.“You’re useless!” I spat, chest heaving. “You were supposed to get the sixty million from Jack. Sixty million! And what do you have? Nothing! Not a single damn thing to show for it!”Loren’s eyes darkened, jaw clenching.
Hilary’s point of view Loren’s words echoed in my head like a terrible song I couldn’t turn off. Lucy likes Jack. No, that couldn’t be right. It had to be a lie. I stared at him, arms crossed, anger bubbling just beneath the surface. “You’re lying,” I snapped, glaring. “You have to be.”He shrugged like it was nothing—like he hadn’t just dropped a bomb. “Say whatever you want, Hilary, but it’s true. Lucy likes him.”Unbelievable. My nails dug into my arms. Every nerve in my body screamed with rage. Of course she would. Why wouldn’t she? Loren even had the audacity to mutter, “Why does every girl seem to fall for him?”That did it. My jaw clenched so hard I thought my teeth might crack. I hated that he was right. I hated how Jack could walk into a room and turn heads like some damn prince out of a fairytale. And worse? It wasn’t just random girls. No. It was my enemies. Rose. Now Lucy—Rose’s best friend—falling for her mate? Disgust twisted in my stomach. Pathetic.And yet… a dark smi
Rose’s Point of view I stretched, , a smile tugging at my lips as the morning light filtered through the curtains. Jack’s scent lingered on the sheets, wrapping me in warmth and comfort. I rolled over, running my hand across the empty side of the bed. He must’ve left early. My heart fluttered with excitement as I remembered why I was in such a good mood—today was wedding dress shopping day!I grabbed my phone from the nightstand, scrolling through my contacts until I found Lucy’s name. She’s going to love this, I thought as I hit the call button. But the phone rang…and rang…and rang. No answer.“Hmm,” I murmured, frowning. That’s odd. Lucy was usually quick to pick up. I tried again. Still nothing.Concern prickled at me, and before I could talk myself out of it, I threw on some clothes and headed to her place. The walk over was short, but my mind raced. Is she sick? Overworked? Reaching her apartment, I knocked lightly.A few moments later, the door creaked open. Lucy stood there in
Rose’s point of viewMy head still spun with Mika’s words, replaying like a broken record in my mind. Hilary… and James? I couldn’t wrap my head around it. How could my supposed father—my enemy—have been involved with her? The same woman who’d done everything in her power to ruin me? My stomach twisted in knots, the betrayal cutting deeper than I ever imagined possible.I sat on the edge of the couch, fingers clenched tightly together, trying to process everything. Mika stood nearby, arms folded, her expression somber. Bianca had already left, sensing the tension thick in the room. Every breath felt heavier, every thought darker.Then, the sound of an engine broke through the silence. Tires crunched against the gravel outside, and I instinctively looked toward the window. Jack’s car pulled up, and beside him, I recognized Marvin’s figure as they stepped out. Marvin glanced at me briefly but then shifted his gaze toward Bianca, who had just reached her car. Their eyes locked for a flee
Jack’s Point of ViewAs I twirled Rose across the dance floor, laughter and music filled the air. But then—movement in the shadows. My sharp gaze caught Hilary, crouched behind a tree, her presence an insult to my authority. How dare she step foot in the Blue Lagoon Pack without my permission?A growl rumbled in my chest as I prepared to command the guards to seize her, but in the next heartbeat, her arm shot forward, and the gleam of metal glinted under the moonlight.A gun.Pointed at Rose.Instinct overrode everything. I lunged, shoving Rose aside just as the deafening crack of the gunshot shattered the night. A fiery pain tore through my chest. My breath hitched. Blood—warm and thick—spread across my shirt and splattered Rose’s gown.Gasps echoed through the crowd, but the only thing I could focus on was Rose’s frantic face hovering over me.“Jack!” she cried, her voice raw with panic. “Stay with me! You’re going to be okay!”Tears streamed down her face, ruining her perfect makeu
Rose’s Point of ViewAs I stood behind Jack, I listened to Hilary’s sobs, her voice laced with desperation as she pleaded for forgiveness. But what truly caught my attention was her mention of the fire in the Maroon Hill Pack’s dungeon.A memory stirred.I remembered that fire all too well.That night, James had thrown a grand party, and while the others reveled in luxury, I had slipped away to check on the imprisoned slaves. The moment I reached the dungeon, I saw thick smoke seeping from the cracks of the heavy iron door. The scent of burning wood and dry grass filled the air.Panic spread as guards shouted, warning that the flames had reached the dungeon’s entrance. Some rushed inside, attempting to quell the blaze, but the fire spread too fast. Soon, fear took over, and they turned to flee, abandoning the remaining prisoners to their fate.I couldn’t stand by and watch them die.Fueled by rage and defiance, I pushed past the guards and charged into the inferno.I had never expecte
Jack’s point of view:I looked directly into Rose’s eyes as she explained everything that had happened that night. I also remembered very clearly that I was not wearing a shirt when the fire broke out. James rarely let his slaves in the dungeon stay dressed, because he thought it was more convenient to inflict pain on us when he whipped us.I couldn't hide the shock in my eyes and firmly squeezed Rose’s fingers.Her long hair and thin physique looked so much like those of the girl who saved me from the fire. This explained why Rose had always felt so familiar to me. She was the one who saved me."Why didn't you ever tell me that? You You should have told me before." Guilt and remorse overwhelmed me as I continued to look at her.If she had told me about it earlier we might have been able to avoid all the misunderstandings between us, and I wouldn't have tortured her like I did. My heart was overflowing with complicated emotions. Fate seemed to have bound us a long time ago."I didn't
Loren’s Point of ViewNot long after I kidnapped Lucy—and Jack stormed in to take her back—my subordinates delivered grim news.“The Blue Lagoon Pack is preparing for war,” one of them reported, his voice tight with fear.“What? Already?” I shoved the sex slave away without a second thought, my mind racing.I had known Jack wouldn’t spare me. He was a vengeful man, not one to be trifled with. Kidnapping Lucy—his pack’s so-called savior—had been a reckless move, but I hadn’t expected retaliation this quickly. I thought I had time. I was wrong.Within a week, his army was on the move.“Are they here yet?” I demanded.“Not yet, Alpha,” the subordinate stammered. “But our scouts spotted the Blue Lagoon army in the neighboring forest. Hundreds of men are advancing toward us.”My blood turned to ice.I knew my pack’s strength—or rather, its weakness. The Black Basin Pack wasn’t strong enough to withstand a full-scale attack from Jack’s forces. Though his pack was relatively new, it was buil
Olivia’s point of view:"Ah! What waste! Why can't a woman be Alpha? Do you honestly think I'm so ignorant, Ben? That I don't know what happened? Please, it's as clear as the day! Jared tempted you to do that. I was on my guard against him all this time, but I didn't expect him to really use my own men!"I was completely furious. My body burned with the rage of a thousand suns.If a stranger was the one who kidnapped me today, it was acceptable. At worst, I would see it as a stroke of bad luck. But to say that the aggressor was none other than the former Beta of my own Wouri River Pack, I couldn't swallow the insult of my trusted subordinate stabbing me in the back, especially after being betrayed before."You're so old, your mind has become bad! I've already heard about Jared's plans for the Wouri River Pack. Do you really think he will let you be the Alpha of our pack? Ha! Dream, Ben! He just wants to conquer the Wouri River Pack and take everything for himself. He even proposed to
Olivia’s point of view:The first battle was to begin early the next morning. However, I already knew that my enemies would launch a sneaky attack. As such, I immediately gathered my army and prepared myself to fight to the end.The combined military strength of the enemy packs was lower than that of the Wouri River Pack. We had advanced weapons, while they were cruelly under-prepared. Maybe it was because they had underestimated the enemy. Whatever the reason, it worked to my advantage.In the darkness of the night, hundreds of green eyes appeared from the forest, shining like agate stones, The strange spectacle was accompanied by howling wolves that seemed to shake the air.The pale moonlight shone through the clouds while the enemy army appeared before us. A few violent gunshots broke the silence, indicating that the war had begun.The enemy's wolves threw themselves fiercely on us, but I did not order the Wouri River Pack army to turn into wolves to fight back. Instead, I ordered
Olivia’s point of view:When my subordinate came in and informed me that the Alpha of the Silver Mountain Pack had appeared unexpectedly, I immediately felt that something was wrong. I was about to order my men to prevent Leo from entering, but unfortunately, I was a little too late.Leo managed to break in despite everything, looking like a polite gentleman despite his rather aggressive actions. I would never have imagined that he would bring with him a real army into my pack without telling me in advance.It was like Leo was dumb, not knowing exactly how I had to refuse it. What should I say? I took a quick look at Jack and Rose, anxious, before hurriedly taking Leo out of the official house of the pack."Leo... I am really, really grateful for your consideration, but you can take back your army. Let me remind you that the WouriRiver Pack is not so weak. We don't desperately need help as soon as the war begins. We will be perfectly fine on our own and we will be able to defend ours
Rose’s point of view:When I woke up, the sun was shining in my eyes. Jack kissed my neck and jaw. He probably woke me up on purpose."Are you awake?" His voice was hoarsy after the explosive sex we had last night.He stroked my long hair and straightened up on his elbow to look at me. His chest was marked by the hickeys I gave him last night.The time I rub my eyes and get up, Jack was already out of bed and putting on his shirt and pants.The rumble of cars coming from outside had been a constant source of noise since dawn. Jack opened the curtain and glanced downstairs, his expression suddenly darkened.“Did something happen in the Wouri River Pack recently?”"I don't know. But Olivia didn't look very cheerful when we met. What's wrong?" I was confused. I wrapped the duvet around me and walked to the window to look downstairs.Rows of troops had gathered in front of the pack's official house. Not only here, but the streets of the Wouri River Pack were also crowded with armed soldie
Rose’s point of view:“Zoe will certainly make fun of us later.” I looked up timidly, my cheeks burning with embarrassment.I hadn't been so intimate with Jack for a long time. I was so eager that I was unable to control my inner desires.With sparkling eyes, Jack took me in his arms and let me sit on his lap. "She will not dare to make fun of us. I'm still her boss, unless she doesn't want to be paid.”With a sweet smile on my face, I tightened my arms around Jack.Rubbing the side of his face with my cheek, I inhaled his weak scent. Then I straightened up and examined it carefully. He still looked the same as before.When he lost his memory, he behaved much more coldly than now. Sometimes he looked like a complete stranger to me. I even thought I didn't know him anymore."What are you looking at?" Jack looked at me tenderly, grabbing my fingers. He looked at them carefully and kissed them."It's so good to be with you again." I let out an emotional sigh and kissed Jack’s cheeks.Jac
Jack’s point of view:When Alan woke up, he told us everything that had happened in tears.Bennet was cruel and ruthless and tried to kill all the wizards who opposed him in cold blood. Naturally, Alan didn't want to join Bennet and participate in such horrible murders. However, Bennet knew that his interests would be affected if Alan took sides with others. And so, Bennet chose to kill his biological brother to eliminate future problems."I thought he would show you pity since you are his brother. Bennet, this bastard.” Rose stroked Alan's hair to calm him down, feeling sorry for him. Then she clenched her teeth and whistled in an indignant tone: "I shouldn't have saved him in the past! Even though I had to break my promise, I shouldn't have saved a killer. Now things have happened. "None of us expected that, Rose. It's not your fault.” I sigh, patting Rose on the shoulder to comfort her.I didn't know what had happened before because of my memory loss. Judging by Rose’s expression
Rose’s point of view:Zoe had obtained information from her network of wizards according to which a group of wizards imprisoned by Bennet had escaped. Today, they were going to take revenge on him in a nearby place.Jaxk and I had travelled every nook and cranny of this place, but we found no trace or smell of a wizard.After night fell and visibility became almost zero in the forest, Jack and I finally decided to leave.As we came back on foot and crossed part of the forest, Cora's nose tingled with a familiar smell. It was the smell of Alan's body, accompanied by a slight smell of blood.“Jack, hold on. Cora just smelled Alan's smell. It should be somewhere nearby." I grabbed Jack's hand and began to follow the smell. We passed in front of several large pins and bushes.While I was looking for Alan, Jack suddenly stopped sharply. His eyes were focussed on a sunk bush as he said: "There seems to be something lying in the grass there.”He drove me to the place. As the smell of blood b
Bennet’s point of view:I ran in the direction I was coming from.Alan was just a child. He couldn't go far in such a short time.Indeed, I spotted a silhouette fleeing in the forest in front of me after searching for a while. I immediately used my ability to teleport to catch up with him.Alan was so terrified that he stumbled back when he saw me appear. I could understand that he was afraid and hated me now.My face was a mask of rage as I approached him with measured steps."It's not funny for you to test my limits over and over again. Alan, you'd better behave yourself."Then I grabbed his hand and started to walk to the farm.Alan tried to free himself from my grip and said in an innocent and furious voice.“Let go of me!”I tightened my grip on him and said with disdain: "Make your age. Come back docilely with me.""What you did is horrible. I won't help you anymore." Alan continued his desperate struggle as I pulled him forward. His shoes left long marks in the ground.I though
Bennet’s point of view:I bought a farm in the north to use as a temporary prison for wizards who resisted me. I couldn't kill them at the moment, since Alan was with me. Thus, I had no choice but to lock them in the farm to prevent their escape. For more security, I put a magic board around the farm.After Alan found out that I had killed someone, he gradually became depressed. He didn't want to go out with me and stayed locked in the farm all day.Initially, I was convinced that Alan did not have the courage to disobey me. But one night, I could feel that the magical network I had set up was slowly disappearing. Immediately, I got out of bed and ran to the farm. Someone had broken the magical network I used to imprison the wizards! All the wizards were busy rushing out of the farm, their cheers for their freedom echoing in the air. Before I could catch them, they disappeared right in front of me using the magic of teleportation.Alan was there, watching them run away with a smile on
