Jack’s point of view:"Rose!” I desperately looked around the abandoned building, panic shaking my whole body. No matter how hard I tried, I didn't find anything or anyone. Ross never answered my calls. Rose and Lucy had disappeared into the air.This cruel realisation shocked me to the bone. I never imagined that Rose would be kidnapped under my nose!It was absurd. Even stranger, I could smell Rose and Lucy all this time. Because of this, I had relaxed my vigilance. Logically speaking, they should still be there now. However, I couldn't find them at all, and there was no other smell inside.Anxious, I started to walk the hundred steps and tried to look for clues in the abandoned building. Maybe someone had deliberately left Rose and Lucy’s perfumes here to make me lower my guard. If this was really the case, then there was only one explanation: witchcraft. Only magic could substitute the false for the authentic.Could It be Bennet?It shouldn't be difficult for a wizard to pretend a
Jack’s point of view:It was rare that Zoe did not answer her phone, which was usually on twenty-four hours a day. She had a large network of werewolves and wizards with whom she remained in contact, and she was often busy at the casino. Her schedule was usually busy, so she had to make sure she was reachable at all times. She was always responsible. If there was an urgent matter that she had to deal with, she informed the others in advance.My intestine was shaking uncomfortably. Something was wrong. I immediately returned to the Blue Lagoon Pack. I researched the werewolves living near Zoe’s house. All said that they had not seen her and that her house had been empty for several days.I went to the casino on the black market again. Casino staff also said they hadn't seen Zoe for several days.What happened to Zoe? Why did she disappear for several days? And she hadn't warned anyone of her absence either. Her phone was off and she had been missing for days, which was not the way she
André's point of view:Jack told me that Zoe had disappeared. I immediately rushed to the Red Snow Pack that night and sent a large group of werewolves in search of her.Zoe was a hybrid wizard and werewolf. She had many wizard and werewolf friends. She had a wide network of contacts, so her face was well recognised. Soon, one of my men had a trail of a few thieves."I just heard rogues talking. They work on a construction site and they found a woman's corpse in the pit of this construction site. She was beautiful and the smell of werewolf on her body was quite weak. A thug claimed that he had already seen this woman in the pack of the blue lagoon, which led him to deduce that she was not human. Maybe she's the one you're looking for, sir." My subordinate gave me a complete report of everything he had discovered."I'm on my way." When I heard the word 'corpse', I felt like my heart had stopped beating for a few seconds. However, I forced myself to stay in the present moment and rushed
Zoe’s Point of ViewFlashbackIt was late when I left the bar, the night air cool against my skin as I made my way back to the Blue Lagoon Pack. The streets were deserted, wrapped in midnight stillness. Up ahead, four figures emerged from the shadows.Three men. One woman.They weren’t human. Nor were they werewolves.They were wizards—and the woman, clearly a witch. Their body language was sharp, menacing. In seconds, they surrounded me.My eyes darted to the wands hidden behind their backs. My breath caught.This wasn’t a friendly encounter.I took a slow step back, slipping my hand into my pocket in search of my wand.“What do you want?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.I wasn’t the kind to stir conflict. I had few enemies in either world. But one name echoed in my mind.Bennet.Most magical folk knew I was staying with the Blue Lagoon Pack. Maybe I’d made a mistake trusting that would keep me safe.“We’re just following orders,” one of the men said, his tone flat. “Bennet
Zoe’s Point of ViewAfter I lost mobility, André stepped up without hesitation, offering to be my caretaker.He fed me, helped with all the little things, and never once complained.André had always been lively and a bit impulsive. I thought he’d grow impatient quickly with something like caretaking. But to my surprise, he was patient—gentle, even—handling everything with care and unwavering dedication.Lying in bed for so long had left my body aching. So every day, he took me downstairs to the garden, letting me soak in the sun.The breeze was soft, carrying the scent of roses through the air. We sat side by side on a wooden bench under the shade of a large tree. The cicadas chirped overhead, blending into the calm of the afternoon.My gaze drifted to André’s face. His golden hair caught the sunlight like fire, and the curve of his nose and jaw still held that boyish charm. Yet his eyes… his eyes looked different lately. Quiet. Warm. But burdened.“Why are you staring at me like that
Bennet’s Point of ViewThat night, I waited silently in the shadows of the abandoned building, cloaked in darkness and patience. When I saw Rose alone with Lucy, I didn’t hesitate. One flick of my wand, one whispered incantation—and the Imperius curse bound her will to mine.Like a puppet, she followed me without resistance.I had no intention of sticking around. Jack might grow suspicious of Lucy if she stayed too long, so I took her with us, slipping quietly into the night.To stay ahead, I made sure to clear out my old wooden hideout. By dawn, it was stripped bare. I brought Rose and Lucy to my new sanctuary—hidden in the heart of the city.This place was a masterpiece. Lavish, spacious, and camouflaged behind powerful enchantments, surrounded by busy market streets on both sides. The perfect disguise. No human, werewolf, or wizard could find it—unless I allowed it. Even if someone recognized the spell I used, they’d never break it. I made sure of that.And just in case, I’d sent m
Zoe’s point of view:A few days later, all the wounds on my body have completely healed and the comfort that stung me faded, I no longer was hurt.Unfortunately, the curse of the embraces had not yet been completely removed to my chagrin, I still could not move any of my limbs.I knew that the werewolf hospital had no way of getting rid of this curse. First of all, I had to return to the Blue Lagoon Pack and plan my next steps.It was the Red SnowPack hospital, and I didn't want to disturb Andre to take care of me every second of the day. I would be nothing more than a nuisance.The effects of the Fetter curse would gradually disappear over time. At the moment, I just needed to be patient and wait.I had a long discussion with the doctor and I planned to leave the hospital the next morning. It was already evening and it was much too late for me to head to the Blue Lagoon Pack at that time.Recently, my relationship with André has been very tense, thanks to what I had told him before.
Zoe’s Point of ViewThe chaos from the fight had erupted like a storm, drawing the attention of startled werewolves. One by one, they burst into my department, alarmed by the noise.“What happened here?” a nurse peeked inside—only to be met with a scene drenched in blood, furniture overturned, and magic lingering thick in the air. Her face went pale, and she let out a horrified scream.This was Red Snow Pack territory.And when the werewolves realized their prince had been attacked, fury surged through them. Without hesitation, they lunged at the remaining wizards, their instincts sharp and violent.The intruders instantly sensed danger. Outnumbered and overwhelmed, they exchanged one look—and vanished in a blink, escaping through teleportation.I, however, had no time to worry about them.André had been struck—badly. I couldn’t tell if he was alive or dead. He was rushed to emergency care, and I sat outside the room, frozen. My hands trembled in my lap, cold sweat dampening my palms.
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
