Rose’s point of view:Why did Hilary dare to make this bet?Leaving would only deprive her forever of the blessing and protection of the Blue Lagoon pack. This meant that she was 100% sure that this soup was poisoned.I suddenly had a bad feeling. I went back to look at Jack, but I saw that his face had hardened. I probably didn't expect Hilary to offer such a bet either."Marvin, take this bowl of soup to the lab to have it analysed," ordered Jack, looking towards the door. Under his order, Marvin rushed outside, taking the soup."I didn't poison you. Jack, you can check the surveillance video.” I insisted that I had not poisoned him, and that I was telling the truth. Although the surveillance video must have filmed me taking the poison bottle out of my pocket, I could explain to him why I had this poison bottle. The surveillance video would clearly show that I did not put the poison in his soup.Jack agreed and called the restaurant manager. After doing some exchanges, we discovered
Jack’s point of viewHilary stormed in, blurting out that the soup was poisoned. The sheer absurdity of her claim left me stunned. I knew Hilary despised Rose, and she had tried to harm her more than once in the past. This wasn’t the Hilary I once knew.She had become petty and ruthless, her jealousy turning her into someone unrecognizable.I had tried to reason with her, to make her see the error of her ways, but my words had fallen on deaf ears. Were it not for the fact that she’d saved my life before, I would’ve banished her from the Blue Lagoon pack or locked her up by now.What caught me completely off guard was Hilary’s proposition to leave the pack if she was wrong about the soup. The confidence in her tone made me pause. For the first time in a long while, I felt compelled to give her the benefit of the doubt. After all, she had more to lose than anyone else if she was lying.Hilary brought up Beta Brad from the Maroon Hill pack, claiming that he had met Rose during her time a
By the time Marvin confirmed that the soup was indeed poisoned, my unwavering faith in Rose wavered, if only for a moment.“You fool! I told you this woman was dangerous. She had another agenda when she saved you!” Uriel snarled in my mind, his rage almost palpable.“Shut up, you idiot,” I snapped, silencing him before his rant could muddle my thoughts further. His erratic behavior only made it harder for me to think clearly.“You need to stop letting her manipulate you! Lock her up or end her now! If you want to die, fine, but don’t take me down with you.”Uriel’s growls were feral, as though he’d leap out and tear Rose apart if given the chance.“I’ll handle this. Calm down.”My temples throbbed painfully, as they always did when I was overwhelmed by Uriel’s incessant outbursts.“The soup tested by Marvin was confirmed to be poisoned,” I announced to everyone, my gaze fixed on Rose. Her lips pressed into a thin line, and her expression remained stoic.“Even if the soup was poisoned,
Rose’s point of viewI didn’t know what Hilary had said to Jack, but the moment he returned to the private room, he coldly ordered his men to place me under house arrest. His expression was icier than ever.This wasn’t the first time he’d treated me this way, but this time, it hurt in a way I couldn’t explain. I hadn’t done anything wrong.Peter, the butler, brought me food daily, but he refused to speak or respond to my questions. I wondered if Jack had instructed him to stay silent. Cut off entirely from the outside world, I had no idea what was happening beyond these walls.What puzzled me most was Jack’s inaction. If he truly believed I’d tried to poison him, his ruthless nature would have compelled him to act swiftly. Instead, he was silent, leaving me in an unbearable limbo.The night they confined me, Jack had ordered his men to install cameras in my room. The realization that he distrusted me so deeply was like a dagger to the heart. After all the time we had spent together, I
That was when I finally understood Jack’s plan. He had kept me locked in this room, only to announce his own violent “death” by poisoning. He wasn’t gone—he was waiting. Waiting for Brad to take the bait and show up.“The guards have loosened the security at the pack’s entrance. Let’s grab Andrea and leave together!” Brad urged, trying to pull me outside.But I forced myself to stay calm, suppressing the panic rising inside me. “Brad, I have something to take care of. You should go now,” I said, gesturing desperately for him to leave.I was certain Jack was watching us through the camera at that very moment, his eyes dark with fury. I could almost picture his expression—cold, sharp, on the verge of snapping.“Jack is dead, Rose. Why stay here? I came to save you. The Blue Lagoon pack is in disarray. This is the perfect chance for us to escape. If you don’t leave, do you think the pack won’t start to suspect you?” Brad’s voice was tense, full of urgency, but his words only made things
Jack’s point of viewThat night, one of my men—one of the few who knew I was alive—reached out to me through the mental link. He reported that a suspicious werewolf had slipped into the Blue Lagoon pack’s territory.The moment had finally come.I rushed to the basement of the villa to monitor the surveillance screens. Armed werewolves surrounded the villa, awaiting my command.While keeping Rose in her room, I had ordered a camera and listening device to be installed.Minutes later, a werewolf climbed through her window. It was Brad.He seemed elated, practically glowing with satisfaction. As soon as he entered, he began discussing the plan to kill me. Rose remained silent, offering no objection.It was in that moment I truly understood—Rose wanted me dead.A wave of anger and bitter disappointment surged through me, tightening every muscle in my body. My head pounded violently, but I forced myself to stay in control. Losing my temper would allow Uriel, my wolf, to take over completel
Rose’s point of view“Take him and lock him in the dungeon,” Jack ordered, his voice sharp and unyielding as his gaze pierced the stormy night sky.Without hesitation, the wolves dragged Brad away. The others seemed to sense the icy rage radiating from Jack and quickly retreated, leaving the room eerily silent.Jack walked in and settled onto the couch, his presence heavy and oppressive. The air in the room thickened with tension, making it hard to breathe.I didn’t dare meet his eyes. My head hung low, my focus fixed on his polished leather shoes. A cold sweat soaked my back, clinging to my shirt and making my skin crawl. My legs trembled as I stumbled back toward the edge of the bed, my heart pounding in my chest.“I—I didn’t…” My voice wavered as panic clawed at my throat. “I didn’t poison you… I swear, I didn’t…” The words spilled out in a chaotic jumble, shaky and incoherent.Jack’s cold voice cut through my rambling like a blade. “Was it Brad? Did he give you the poison?”Before
Jack’s Point of View:“This pitiful little thing cries so beautifully,” I thought, my lips curling into a cold smirk. Her tears only heightened my excitement. Finally, the day I’d been waiting for had arrived. Jack, this is the best decision you’ve ever made.Inside my mind, Uriel roared with unrestrained anticipation. “I can’t wait to make her suffer! Torture her! Break her, Jack!” His voice was feral, a chaotic drumbeat in my head, and I felt him pushing, clawing for control over my body.I gritted my teeth, tightening my grip on reality. Uriel was too dangerous to let loose right now. If I gave in, he would’ve killed Rose right there in that room.Instead, I locked her up and left without a second glance, making certain she had no chance of escaping.Uriel raged as I walked away. “Why leave now? Why not finish it? Rip her apart. A sexual slave doesn’t deserve dignity or clothes!”“Not yet,” I replied, my tone calm, deliberate, even as anger burned through my veins. “Death 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
