Jack’s point of view:Rose stabbed my chest with a dagger, sinking the sharp blade into me without an ounce of hesitation. She acted quickly and decisively, as if she were doing a daily task.I pressed the wound in a hurry, the bloodgushing out of my fingers. I forced myself to endure the acute pain. Raising my head, I looked at Rose in disbelief, my lips pursed in a sinister frown.Because she was my love, I had lowered my guard.Suddenly, Rose’s empty eyes widened slightly. Pain, shock and horror passed through them for a brief moment. However, a fraction of a second later, they returned cold and insensitive. She then abruptly removed the dagger from my chest. "Rose.." The colour dissipated from my face as it turned pale. I called Rose’s name weakly by instinct but I never wanted to blame her. I knew she had done this because she was under Aaron's control.Outside, thunder rumbled and heavy rains fell on the earth."Just... stay here! You're not going anywhere." I quickly noticed
Jack’s Point of ViewWhen I woke up again, the storm was still raging outside. Thunder rolled across the sky, rattling the windows as rain pounded against the glass. I was lying in bed, my chest wrapped in thick layers of gauze, my body stiff with lingering pain.Marvin was sitting on the sofa nearby, his gaze sharp and alert. The moment he noticed I was awake, he immediately rose and approached my bedside.“Mika is resting in another room,” he informed me. “She exhausted herself using too much of her healing power. Alpha, you were stabbed directly in the heart. You should be dead, but thanks to Mika’s abilities and quick treatment, you survived. She told me it was Natalie who attacked you?”Marvin’s expression was grim, his voice unusually severe. He had always been the level-headed Beta, the calm strategist of the pack. But now, his tone was edged with something rare—anger.“It’s true,” I confirmed, my voice steady despite the weight of my words. “Aaron drugged her.”I glanced down
Aaron’s Point of ViewTo keep Jack from suspecting anything, I carefully orchestrated a small skirmish between my soldiers and the Blue Lagoon Pack’s forces. For several days, we engaged in battle, just enough to make it seem like I was struggling. Then, when the timing was right, I staged my defeat and released Rose.Before letting her go, I gave her one final command—find an opportunity to kill Jack and escape to the Wouri River Pack. Jack trusted her completely, which meant getting close enough to strike wouldn’t be difficult.That night, the storm raged on. Lightning slashed across the sky, illuminating the darkened streets for fleeting moments, while thunder shook the earth beneath us. Rain pounded against the trees, drenching everything in its path.I waited a short distance from the hotel where Rose had checked in, my car idling in the shadows. The minutes stretched on until, finally, a figure emerged from the darkness.She ran toward me, soaked to the bone, her white dress cli
Rose’s Point of ViewI had stabbed Jack. My hands hadn’t trembled, my body hadn’t hesitated—but inside, a storm raged.Jack was my friend. Every memory I had with him remained crystal clear in my mind. I knew I shouldn’t have hurt him, and yet, I had. I had fought against it, tried to resist, but my will was no longer my own.Every fiber of my being was bound to Aaron. His words shaped my reality, and his commands controlled my actions. I was a prisoner in my own body, trapped in a nightmare where I was forced to obey.Each day bled into the next, an endless cycle of torment, confusion, and emotions I couldn’t control.That NightI awoke to a sudden pressure over my mouth. My body stiffened, but then a familiar voice whispered against my ear.“It’s me.”Aaron.He slipped under the covers, his arms encircling me as his lips traced soft kisses along my cheek and neck. My first instinct was to push him away, but my body betrayed me.He owned me.“And what if we had a little fun?” he murm
Aaron’s point of view:I immediately caught Rose, who was about to run to her room."Are you saying that Olivia told you she wanted to kill me?” I asked her in a surprised voice."No, I... I don't know,” Rose stammered.Her eyebrows were furrowed and she seemed to hesitate."So what did you mean by that?Were you killing?" I pulled Rose in front of me with a sinister smile, so that she faced me."I... I don't know. I don't know anything." Rose shook her head frantically.No matter how I questioned her, she just repeated the same thing.Since I wasn't able to get her useful information, I had to free her wrist and let her go back to her room.Maybe the high dose of the special aphrodisiac had confused Rose’s brain and she could no longer think clearly. But I felt that his accusation was not completely unfounded. Maybe Olivia really wanted to kill me.But why? I couldn't think of any reason why she should have killed me. My mind was buzzing with doubts.Considering how delicate Rose’s me
Olivia’s point of view:Since Aaron had brought Rose back into the Wouri River pack, I was on my guard. Rose had been drugged by Aaron and she was obsessed with him.I was afraid that she could reveal my secrets to him. Now, I was in a dangerous situation. I must have been on alert.While I was having breakfast today, Aaron approached me with a pleasant expression. I was arguing with him the last few days because of Rose. Seeing him smile today triggered warnings in my mind.Aaron announced that he would like to take me on a picnic alone in a soft tone rarely used. Why did he suddenly want to accompany me on a picnic?I immediately guessed that he could test me. Maybe Rose had revealed something to him. But since Aaron hadn't arrested me, it meant he wasn't quite convinced yet.I went with him to the lake. My father loved this place. When I talked to Aaron about it, he looked very annoyed. I didn't show any anger. Instead, I took off my coat and covered Aaron, who was pretending to sl
Jack’s point of view:After my return to the Blue Lagoon Pack, I had planned to go to the nearby black market to find out about the antidote for this special aphrodisiac. The possibility of getting the antidote was very weak, but it would be good if I could get clues."Wait a minute. Let's go to Rose’s university first."On the way, I suddenly remembered something and told the driver to turn around. Maybe I should ask Lucy first. My head was full of worries about Rose these days, and I had completely ignored Lucy.Lucy received Aaron’s special aphrodisiac, so she could have clues about it. There was a chance that Aaron said something useful.I went to Lucy’s University, only to find out that she had asked for leave. I ordered my subordinate to check if Lucy was on the territory of the Blue Lagoon pack. It turned out that she was no longer in the pack. No one knew where she had gone.Suspect, I ordered the members of the pack to look for her and report it to me as soon as they found he
Lucy’s point of view:After Jack left me behind, I watched his figure move away in despair. I knew that Jack’s good impression of me had been completely destroyed.I didn't go back to university or the Blue Lagoon Pack. I strilled aimlessly in the forest, not knowing where to go.All the happy memories I shared with Rose crossed my mind. Before the Maroon Hill pack was destroyed, we had rarely argued and I had always believed that we would be close friends forever.Aaron had always behaved like a gentleman in the Maroon Hill Pack. I didn't know that such a despicable and diabolical man was hiding under the surface. Everything was different from what it had appeared to me. I wished none of these horrible events had happened.Rose should be safe for now. Aaron wanted it, so he couldn't have added poison to the aphrodisiac I administered to Rose. But if one day the effect of the drug faded and she realised what I had done to her, she would hate me. Jack also hated me now, and I would be
Olivia’s point of view:Leo returned to his seat with a formal attitude. His face radiated with unrestrained joy. With a glimmer in his eyes, he said, "Alright, we can now discuss the terms of our contract marriage. You can make any suggestion you want." “Stop pretending. Since you offered me such timely help today, you had to be prepared." I severely crossed my arms over my chest. I didn't know why I was so angry. I had never imagined that Leo would have this idea in such a timing.A slight smile played on his lips and he did not deny my accusation. He handed me the file he was holding in his hand and told me: "I have drafted a general contract. We need to discuss two different issues: business and private business. This document only covers our business to ensure that there is no conflict of interest between us. I think it's better that we discuss the terms of our private affairs together."I took the document and read it carefully. Leo had certainly developed a very complete plan.
Olivia’s point of view:Annoyed, I turned to Rose and grumbled: "These Alphas still want the Wouri River Pack, but they were scared by my performance in the last battle. They don't have the courage to force me directly, so they try to court me instead. They probably hope that I will feel moved and that I will marry them. If this happens, they will be able to get half of the Wouri River Pack"Rose frowned. "So they all have ulterior motives. Do you just want to refuse them and send back the gifts? I think you receive more and more gifts every day."“I did it several times, but they persisted and insisted on sending more. Unlike Jared, these Alphas are really clever. They act in a very sincere and authentic way, and they don't even show me a hint of wickedness. I can't do anything to them."I let out a long sigh of agony before continuing: "Refusing them several times will not be good. If this continues, it will have a negative impact on my reputation. Sooner or later, I will offend the
Olivia’s point of view:The thick forest blocked most of the raw sunlight, leaving us exposed to cool, spotted light under the trees, which swayed gently in the wind. Half of Leo’s face was illuminated by a bright light, clearly showing even the smallest hairs on his skin."Thank you Leo. Are your injuries serious? Do you want me to check it once?" I hesitated.Leo loved me deeply. In fact, I loved him too. He was handsome, polite and reliable, and had the appearance of a gentleman. He was the exact opposite of Aaron with the casual tongue.But I was still in two minds. I may not have had the courage to start a new relationship. My last one had broken my heart, giving me the impression of being dead at the time. In addition, I was now responsible for the protection of the Wouri River pack. I was no longer the carefree and intrepid girl I used to be."No thanks. They are all slightly injured. We are still more than ten kilometres away from the Wouri River Pack. The forest is not safe,
Olivia’s point of view:Leo pointed a gun at Jared as he entered and controlled Jared with a quick movement.He glanced at my feet, which were not tied, and asked me: "Can you still walk? I have a knife at the waist. Can you cut the rope by yourself?"He immobilised Jared with one hand while holding the weapon with the other, so he could not spare a hand to detach the hemp rope that tied my hands.“No problem. You can turn your back on me and I'll take the knife." I jumped out of bed, squatted and bit with my teeth the military knife sharpened at Leo’s size. I failed several times and my lips kept touching Leo's back.His back tensed at the contact. He glanced at me from the side and asked me in a low voice: "Can you do it, Olivia?”"In a minute!" I did my best to bite the handle once more.This time, I finally succeeded.Immediately, I used the knife to cut the hemp string from my hands. At that time, Jared's soldiers were rushing here and were already just outside the tent."Get out
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
