Ryn looked into Lance's eyes in turn. The girl was waiting for Lance's reaction after telling him about the visions.

Meanwhile, Lance seemed a little surprised to hear the story. He stayed silent for a moment while blinking his eyes a few times.

"Okay, this is very surprising, but... um, you know, it sounds a little ridiculous. Listen, Ryn! I thought you'd gotten over this nonsense about amnesia or being from another world. That doesn't make any sense, okay? You should get some rest so you can think clearly," Lance said.

"So, you don't believe me?" Ryn made a face. The girl licked her lips while casting a glance. "I told you the truth, Lance! I thought I could trust you, but you ...." The girl did not finish her words because she was disappointed.

"Ryn, listen!" Lance held both of the girl's shoulders and looked at her deeply. "I don't want to hurt you, okay? But the story about you having a dangerous mobster brother and about you being killed by your brother's enemy is so ridiculous. The only dangerous guy in Wolfspring is Albert Dexter."

Ryn opened her jaw, staring at Lance in disbelief. She was speechless. She had misjudged the man.

"If you want to know what happened to get you in that lake, I'll tell you." Lance looked deeply into the girl's eyes. "You fought with Walter. I don't know what you were fighting about, but when I saw you running out of the house, you looked so mad. I chased after you, but I lost track. Until I saw you in the lake, and you know how the rest of the story goes. So, stop saying that you're from a different world than us! You are Ryn Aberdein, one of us, Freemega!" said Lance.

Ryn shook her head. She didn't know what the owner of her body had done before she came to Wolfspring. Maybe they switched bodies or something. She didn't know, and she didn't want to think about it. The only thing that made her not want to return to her home world was the love and affection she got here. Never mind if the owner of this body was suffering in her home world. However, she did not deny that Lance's words hurt her. She thought Lance was a good friend, but he was not.

"I'll leave you to rest. If you need anything, Walter and I are outside. We'll stay on standby tonight, just in case Albert comes again," Lance said.

The man smiled slightly, then turned and walked toward the door. He left Ryn's room and found Walter on the terrace with some men.

"How is she?" Walter asked when he had seen Lance.

Lance joined the men. He sighed and replied, "She woke up from a nightmare, and I asked her to rest."

Walter nodded slowly. "I think she's just in shock over this," he said.

"I agree. I just don't think she still thinks that she has amnesia. He's babbling again," Lance said.

"Babbling?" Walter gave Lance a curious look. He then turned to the other four men and asked them to patrol. After that, Walter refocused his attention on Lance and asked, "What is she babbling about?"

Lance glanced at the door of the house. Then he answered, "About the nightmare, about what made her run away this afternoon. Ryn told me that she had a vision of a massacre."

"Massacre?" Walter was getting curious.

"Yep, and to make matters worse, she thinks that she was the one who caused the massacre. She also attributed the vision to Albert's arrival. He even thought about leaving Freemega," Lance explained.

"Once things get better, I'll talk to her. Maybe she's still mad at me, so she's thinking of leaving," Walter replied.

"Walter," Lance called, "if you don't mind, may I know why Ryn ran away from home? I know you guys fought, but... what were you fighting about?" he asked.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath. He looked ahead with a dreamy gaze.

"It's just a trivial matter. She misunderstood that I was controlling her. She wants freedom. You know, I love her as much as my daughter. I won't let her wander out there unsupervised because it could threaten her life. I just want to protect her," Walter replied.

"I do not doubt that. Ryn is stubborn, but ...." Lance held back his words and looked seriously at Walter. "Have you noticed anything strange about her since she drowned in the lake?" he asked later.

"Yeah, I feel like some things about Ryn are a little different." The man scrolled over to Lance. "What do you think, Lance?" he probed.

"She once said that she was from another world. She said she didn't recognize anything here. I thought she was just making it up about the amnesia. But everything she did after that looked like she was adapting to something new. Do you think the soul inside Ryn's body may belong to someone else?" Lance spoke in a low voice so that no one else could hear.

For a moment, Walter was silently thinking out loud. The strange things about the girl could indeed lead to Lance's statement. However, he didn't want it to cause another panic in the herd.

"I know, there's nothing impossible. But for once, I disagree with you. She remembers her name, Lance. If she were someone else, she wouldn't know what her name is. You shouldn't think too much about this. I think she's just doing that to deflect her disappointment in my behavior. You saw for yourself, didn't you? He's even forgotten about the fight we had," Walter said.

Lance smiled slightly. "You're right," he replied.

"Would you mind going outside the village to check things out?" Walter asked afterward.

"Of course. I'll take Tod with me," Lance replied.

"All right. Be careful! We don't know what Albert is planning," Walter said.

Lance hurried off to check on the situation outside the village. Tonight, the entire pack was on alert. Apart from the men stood guard outside and relied only on the moonlight for illumination. Inside the house, the women kept their children vigilant.

After Lance left, Walter entered the house and went to Ryn's room. He opened the door and saw the girl lying on the bed. He didn't know if Ryn was asleep. However, he didn't want to disturb her and closed the door carefully.

The man then went to his room. After lighting a candle, he uncovered the carpet under the table and opened a secret door. He took a wooden box from there and placed it on the table. The box was locked. Walter opened it with the pendant on the necklace he was wearing. He took a roll of parchment from inside the box. He untied the straps of the parchment and spread it out on the table. The man then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"You're safe under my protection, Ryn," he murmured as he looked intently at the parchment on the table.

  • BLOODWOLF: The Curse of the Alpha's Mate   Chapter 139. The Prophecy Has Met Its Destiny (End)

    Excitement swelled in the palace, welcoming the victory they had won. Applause and cheers flowed beautifully as the Alpha entered the court. Everyone was happy. Everyone celebrated the victory, though they also felt the loss of several pack members killed in battle. "Albert," said a voice over the din of the crowd. Judith broke the line of pack members and walked quickly to the Alpha. A worried look crossed her face when she saw Ryn unconscious in Albert's arms. "She's hurt," she commented once she reached Albert. Judith examined some of the wounds on the girl's face. "Bad enough to knock her out," Albert said. "Doctor Mike is still busy taking care of the injured pack members, and I see he's got a lot of injuries himself. I think I can help check on Luna Ryn while we wait for Doctor Mike," Judith said. "I'll take her to the room," Albert replied. Judith nodded and followed Albert, who took Ryn to the room. The Alpha laid Ryn on the bed carefully, not caring about the blood and

  • BLOODWOLF: The Curse of the Alpha's Mate   Chapter 138. The End of the Battle

    Clothes, claws, hands, and face were all covered in a thick red liquid. The stench of blood pierced the lungs. Corpses were strewn about like thousands of dead fish washed up on the shore. Sorrowful moans could be heard faintly from the souls separated from the bodies. Proof that the battle had taken many lives."Albert, watch out!"Hearing the warning cry, Albert turned his head. The Alpha looked at his worried-looking Luna. Ryn pointed at the oncoming enemy. Albert was not unaware that three Alphas were heading his way. He knew, but there was not the slightest intention to run. Albert nodded to Ryn and then looked back at the three Alphas approaching him. The Alpha's howls echoed in all directions, preparing to fight the three attacking Alphas.Undaunted, Albert welcomed the attacks from the three Alphas with open arms. Unarmed, relying solely on his physical strength. It was a very unfavorable condition, but it did not discourage him. Fighting one-on-one would be easy for him. Howe

  • BLOODWOLF: The Curse of the Alpha's Mate   Chapter 137. Fight to the Death

    One corner of Albert's lips lifted slowly. Ryn's burning enthusiasm also fueled his fire. He did not see the slightest fear in Ryn's eyes, which was very different from when the girl had her visions."I'm so lucky to have a Luna like you," Albert said proudly. The man then extended a hand, and Ryn took it. "Let's do this together," he continued.Hand in hand, Albert and Ryn exited the palace, striding wide to greet the oncoming enemy."I love seeing our Alpha and Luna," Dominic whispered to Jayden."They're the best Alpha and Luna pair I've ever met," Jayden replied."Yep! Totally agree!" Dominic snapped his fingers."The Moon Goddess never gets mates wrong," Jayden chimed in. "Let's not let our Alpha and Luna fight the enemy alone," Jayden invited.Dominic eagerly welcomed the invitation. The two men immediately set off, following Albert and Ryn, who had left earlier.When they arrived at the courtyard, Albert saw that his men were on standby. They set up barricades outside and insid

  • BLOODWOLF: The Curse of the Alpha's Mate   Chapter 136. No Reason to Hide

    Hurried footsteps could be heard approaching. Albert and Jayden turned in the direction of the sound. One of the Warriors came to them with a serious look."Dom," Jayden greeted. "How are things outside?" Jayden asked. He knew the warrior hadn't come for mere pleasantries; he must have gotten a message from Sebastian.The man named Dominic stopped before the Alpha, saluted with a nod of his head, and then answered Jayden's question, "There's a lot of them. We need help to keep them from entering the palace grounds."The famous Golden Moon Pack warriors, as well as Sebastian, had already taken matters into their own hands to deal with the enemy. However, in reality, the number of opponents they had to face was beyond prediction. There were hundreds of werewolves moving against the Golden Moon Pack as if they had been prepared for the attack.A warrior facing ten people at once would be fine. However, they could remember the fact that there were Alphas also coming down to attack, who ha

  • BLOODWOLF: The Curse of the Alpha's Mate   Chapter 135. Protecting You with All My Body and Soul

    Confession and atonement are the most beautiful things about ending a feud. Forgiving and accepting each other is another way to let go of the burdens that have been piling up in our minds.Albert has not fully accepted fate because, until this moment, he still cannot accept Lance as his younger brother. However, by taking into account the fact that Judith was his mother, he felt that his chest was much lighter. There was a sense of relief, like a heavy burden that had been lifted."What made you smile to yourself, hm?" asked Ryn.The girl had been watching Albert for some time now. The Alpha, who was sitting on the balcony, seemed to be daydreaming while occasionally smiling faintly.Ryn's question forced Albert out of his reverie. The Alpha blinks his eyes quickly while looking back at the girl."What are you doing there?" Albert asked.Ryn walked up to the Alpha. A small smile spread across the girl's lips as she felt the aura of happiness radiating from the Alpha's face. Behind Al

    The three people sitting at the same table looked at each other. Ryn's answer seemed to confirm that the terrible incident happened in the Golden Moon Pack. As pack leader, Albert's mind immediately went to the incident during the coronation ceremony, where several of his guests had collapsed."I believe all of this is connected," Albert said."That's very possible, considering Ryn has experienced this before, and it's proven true," Judith said.Albert gritted his teeth. His hands were clenched tightly with emotion. If Ryn's vision were true, a great battle would be in his palace. Perhaps this was a sign the Moon Goddess had given them. So that Albert could prepare everything."Do you know when it will happen?" Albert asked Ryn.The girl shook her head. She could not find any clues about the exact time of the battle."I'm sorry," Ryn said regretfully."Not your fault," Albert replied. He turned to Judith and said, "Thank you for coming here.""No need to thank me. I didn't do anything
