Alpha Vincent's POVIt did not feel good to be here in the four corners of the room, laying on the bed, and killing time by doing nothing.I couldn't help but sigh in dismay. I massaged my temple as I clenched my eyes shut.How dare that culprit to poison me?! How dare he put my life at risk?!When the time comes I come to know who he was or she was, I swear to the Moon Goddess I will make that culprit's life a living hell, to the point he will beg me to end his life rather than taste the torture on my hands every day.Beta Ivan reported to me that they caught the culprit. But, we didn't discuss it further because I was always asleep due to the medicines I needed to take. Now, I wonder who is he."I'm not surprised I got poison anyway," I whispered as I opened my eyes and tried to sit on the bed. I rested my back on the headboard and heaved a sigh.I was not surprised because I am aware of my status. That is everyone hates me.Oh! Except for Beta Ivan and Gamma Steven. They are my ri
Astrid’s/Veronica’s POVMy heart kept beating out of fear when I woke up late in the morning.“Shit... I hope Alpha Vincent will not punish me,” I muttered as I hurriedly dressed up and got out of my room.I almost ran down the hallway just to be in the kitchen area as soon as possible.When I banged the door open, everyone in the kitchen looked in my direction.I caught my breath first and gulped hard.“Sorry,” I apologized and entered the area.Clara quickly left her task and approached me. A worried look was visible on her face.Oh, dear... It looked like I already knew what was running in her mind because her face mirrored mine.“Come on, girl… I guess the Alpha is now furious because his breakfast hasn't arrived yet,” she said in a nervous tone as she grabbed my wrist and pulled me near the cook station. She took the tray of food for Alpha Vincent and handed it to me.“Here. Go,” she said shortly. She pushed me after as if she was encouraging me to move quickly.The way she looke
Astrid's/ Veronica's POV "You betrayed me..." I gulped hard as I looked at his glistened eyes. Deny it or not, I was somehow guilty for betraying him, but who betrayed first? It is him, right? He betrayed me from the beginning! I don't wanna be eaten by this guilty feeling. I knew Alpha Vincent from head to toe. He knew how to manipulate things. "How dare you say I betrayed you, Vincent?" I asked between my gritted teeth. He was left speechless when the tone of my voice changed. My inner wolf, Sarah, takes over half of my body. My hands are covered with purr and my face. But my lower part and feet are still in human form. "What do you mean, Veronica?" he asked a dumb question that made me laugh in disbelief. My eyes started glistening with tears due to the anger I felt. "How long will you call me Veronica, Vincent?" I asked him with full of hatred in my voice. His forehead furrowed as he looked intently at my face. As if he was trying to figure out what was happening to me. Th
Astrid's/ Veronica's POVEveryone gathered outside the mansion. We are now on the battlefield, waiting for the opponents to come.All the pups and female omegas are inside the packhouse for their safety.Everyone is ready to fight, to fight for their freedom.I looked at the side of the battlefield, and I saw Alpha Vincent. He was kneeling and his hands tied together. He was just silent and didn't bother to move. It seems he is waiting too.As we waited, a white-small foam slowly fell from the horizon. I looked up at the gray sky. I blinked when the foam dropped on my left cheek. It is cold. I wiped it and looked at it. Then, I realized that it was snowing.The first snow of this year has now begun to fall. Everyone looked up at the sky.I guess this day will be remarkable. Because the first snow of this year is the day when the war between me, and Vincent happens.I looked at my hand when I felt someone hold it. As I looked at who he was, I saw a pair of blue eyes. Beta Ivan looked a
Alpha Vincent's POV "What are you doing, Vincent?!" Kate shouted and quickly approached my direction. She hugged my right arm and helped me to stand up. As soon as I calmed down at what I did to myself, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. 'Jacob, are you there?' I asked through the mind link. I am hoping he does not die after the ritual. It is okay that I am not able to shift again but not to lose him forever. After all, Jacob is my greatest gift from the Moon Goddess. 'Jacob, please... answer me,' I uttered and waited for him. I gulped hard, and the sweat from my forehead rolled down my cheeks. Then, after seconds, I heard a low growl that made me sigh in relief. He was weak, but what is important to me is that he is still alive. "Let's go, Vincent... Let's get out of here," Kate said and dragged me out of the library. I opened my eyes and withdrew my arm from her. With a cold look, I faced her. "Leave me alone," I said in a cold voice and turned around. I was about to w
"Charles, please hide Astrid. Please, protect her at all cost," my mother said to my father's Beta. I didn't have any idea what was happening. It was a peaceful night in the middle of the woods, in my father's pack, no other than the great Red Moon Pack. It was called "great" due we've always won in every battle plus the healthy economy of our pack. One of the large income shares was coming from agriculture, and my father always focused on that field to nurture it more. His goal is no one would die from hunger and that everyone will eat a fair amount of food every day. That's the reason why the pack became great because the people always did their best to repay my father. After all, my father himself takes care of them very well. I could say he's a true leader.I simply looked outside the window. I could say there's nothing wrong because all that I could hear was the sound of nature. Bugs, night owls, and nearby rivers make a sound. A cold breeze of the night makes the trees and f
‘Mate!’ my inner wolf, Sarah, exclaimed that it made me freeze.I looked intently at the man as I tried to digest what I’d heard.“Mate…” I involuntarily said those words due to being in shock at what Sarah said.My mate… my mate is this man? The man who killed our Pack Beta Charles? And possibly the man who invaded our pack?All the realization left me speechless.How? How can this be possible?I admit all my life I’ve waited for my mate to come. But, I never expected that my mate would be this kind of person. I never expected to meet him in the middle of the war, wherein our people were dying to save my life—like Charles.I saw his right eyebrow rise at what he had heard. Then soon, he scoffed and chuckled mockingly.“A mate?” he repeated those words as if it was a big joke in his ears.“What are we gonna do to her?” one of the werewolves asked and walked closer in our direction.My attention got caught by the speaker. He shifted back to his human form. He has a great body, a stro
I just woke up when I felt I was swaying in the air. My head is still hurting.My eyes went wide open when I realized I was already inside the cage. It made me come back to my senses that I was under my mate and our pack facing a bloody war.I looked around, and I saw two men holding the end of my cage to carry me. When one of them looked in my direction, I quickly shut my eyes to pretend I was asleep. He even hit the wooden stick on the cage as if he was assuring am still sleeping. When he received no response, I felt he didn't stare at me anymore, and they resumed walking.I curiously peeked through my lashes to see the surroundings. I saw a group of werewolves lined up as if we were heading to a place that I didn't know. I rolled my eyes and looked for the man who turned out to be my mate. And there, I saw him in the front of the line, leading the pack. He was just seriously walking while his Beta, walking behind him, was on the right side.As they walked further, the surroundings
