“I noticed you have not been bleeding,” Rose pointed out when they reached the dark path leading to their secluded house. “Did the Luna Dowager give you a fix?”

“Yes. She had no choice. She badly wants an heir.”

“That woman is crazy.”

“Tell me something I don’t know,” Rune mumbled. “I don’t know how I lived with her.”

“You probably didn’t have a choice.”

“You know,” he turned very serious, “it never made sense to me that I had to put up with her. Whenever a council member saw that I was fed up with her, they always advised me to endure. I should have cut ties with her instead of listening to them. If I had done that, we would not be struggling to leave the pack right now.”

Rose could not fully relate to him, but the pain in his voice reached her. She looked at him and said, “It is never easy to cut ties with certain people.”

“I am jealous of those who have done it. My mother tires me. And I bet she’s giving my brother hell right now.”

“Your brother? The Alpha?” Rose remembered ponder

    With a heart racing out of excitement, Rune put on his clothes. He was buttoning his shirt when Rose came to him and helped him with it. His gaze fell on her roughened hair, and he wondered what his mother was thinking. She had no right to send ambushers to inject him with an Eroject, especially when she knew that it was not something he had used before. Grateful that the substance did not halt his heart or something, Rune secretly loved that he got a chance to sexually connect with Rose.He had been loving their conversations; the seriousness and jokes embedded. But since the deal with his mother, he became worried that Rose would not enjoy sex with him as she should because of the pressure to stay alive. He was also concerned that her mind would bother her with the memory of the men who tried to harm her. A soft smile lit his eyes because his concerns were put to shame. “What are you thinking?” she asked, her tender touch patting his chest. “Nothing much.” Rune adjusted her point

    Well?” The Luna Dowager was standing at a far corner, her gaze and poise as impatient as her voice. The healer glanced up after reviewing the report she had just filled in. “Based on my observations, it is possible that she is pregnant.”“She is?” The Dowager jumped while Rose felt as though cold water was poured on her. When she agreed to the Luna Dowager’s threat, she thought it would not hurt to fulfil her lifelong desire to have a complete family while ensuring the safety of her and Rune. But the possibility of being pregnant was starting to sound scary. She hurriedly searched for Rune’s presence, and when she confirmed that he was still next to her, she held out her hand. He received it and tried to assure her unspoken by caressing her hand.“She has to come to the clinic to confirm it. But there is a little problem.” The healer was approaching a path that easily increased Rose’s fear. “Problem? What is that?”“If she is indeed pregnant, it could pose a danger to her health. S

    Rose was now asleep. After ensuring the heat-padded blanket was keeping the severe chilliness of the night away from her, Rune dimmed the lights in the room and briefly stepped out to converse with Symon.He met the Beta standing not too far from the room. His frown was prominent, his paces were filled with confusion and contemplation. “Shall we have a drink?” Rune walked past the man. “Whiskey or tea?”“Uhm… Tea. You need tea after your long journey.” Symon hurried his steps, and soon, he was in front, leading them to the kitchen. The men sat by the marbled island in the middle of the kitchen while the water for the tea boiled.“She is pregnant with your pup?” Symon voiced the question that was already written on his face. “How did that happen?”“We had sex.”“Right.” Symon crossed his arms. “How else would it happen?”“Have you found potential Doctors?”“I am still scrutinizing my list because I have to consider the current situation.”Rune was already thinking about Rose, he absen

    The beast exploded before it could do anything. Its blood and body parts were scattered all over the floor. When she opened her eyes, Rose noted the shock on Richard’s face. Then, she looked at Rune, who barely moved while protecting her. His sight was fixed on Symon, so she did the same. The rude Beta glared at Richard, who was still perplexed.“Wh-” Richard audibly processed the moment. “What just happened?”“You said your powers were weak,” Rune said to Symon. “Was that a lie?”“Not really. I didn’t want to believe that I still had my powers.” The Beta shrugged. “It turns out I can still explode things.”“Powers?” Richard exhaled hard, his frown deepening as seconds flew past. “What the hell are you guys? How did you murder my beast? She is one of the best from hell.”‘Hell?’ Rose pondered. Why on earth would Richard mention hell? What was he even doing with that kind of animal in the first place? And how, just how, did he manage to enter the house without anyone noticing?Rose lo

    “H-how come?” Beta Symon stuttered. He ended up sitting because he was not expecting that confession. As his eyes wandered the fineness of the tiles, he became curious about Alpha Rune’s reaction. So he looked up. It was surprising to see the Alpha staring at the woman with curiosity, not perplexity. “Murder?” Alpha Rune asked, his eyes showing a bit of delight. “That is very intriguing.”The woman faced the Alpha, her frown very deep. “Intriguing? I killed people, Rune.”“P-people?!” Symon almost choked on saliva. “Not one. Or two. People? Woman, what exactly are you?”“It happened.”Symon became certain that Rose was a psychopath. How could she say that without remorse? Even as a werewolf with a natural thirst for blood, he never shed the blood of fellow wolves. “Do you not feel sorry for the people who lost their lives?”“Why would I? None of them cared.”“Who are these people? Were they close to you?”“I don’t want to talk about it.” She cleared her throat. “It is in the past. Wh

    “We have done nothing wrong. We-”“Alpha Rune,” Symon interrupted, “that does not matter to these humans. They are keen on-” Loud noise from a helicopter deafened them. “We need to leave!” Symon concluded. Rose, on the other hand, wiped her face clean and stood up. “Leave to where?” Rune probed. “This is the only home we have.”“I don’t… I don’t know either! Okay! I don’t know!”Rose chose to voice the escape route she had thought about. “Let us…” She cleared her throat. “Let us go to the Brunia Pack.”“Rose.” Rune frowned. “We cannot go back there. The enemies there are worse.”“The enemies in this place will separate us. If I dare to reason why they have chosen to create lies against you, it must be because they know your true identity. Why else would they go through so much trouble?”“That is sensible,” Symon supported. “Let us go to the pack, Alpha Rune. I already prepared some bags for emergencies. We don’t need to leave the house to access the pack’s gateway, it is the best es

    “What took you so long?” Symon firmly questioned the duo after they arrived. After Rune's suspicion of someone watching them, he did a quick sweep of the environment. He did not find anyone lurking, but his suspicion did not cease. However, he focused on their journey ahead, and while he made sure Rose did not feel afraid, he transformed into his wolf- a mighty beast with a brown-white mane. Rose enjoyed the ride and somehow felt more connected with Rune. Perhaps that was because she could feel the carefulness he and his wolf put into transporting them despite the high speed. “We left five minutes after you,” Rune said to Symon. “Don't be silly.”On the other hand, while staring at the greenery ahead, Rose imagined how fun it would be to go on another ride with his wolf. “You should have left earlier. We have a little problem.” Symon sure had a knack for speaking in a zig-zag manner. “What little problem?”Rose tuned out her thoughts and focused on the conversation after glancin

    “This is insane,” Symon broke the silence in the room after plating everyone's food. “I am not comfortable with this.” His eyes were intently fixed on Catherine. He never liked her when she was Rune's Luna, she seemed dubious and too obvious about her feelings, which she knew would never be reciprocated. “I gave Rune a choice,” she replied. “Blame him.”Symon’s dislike grew. “Aren't you ashamed? This is not a setup that will make you happy. Are you that desperate to hurt yourself? Do you love it when others see you in pain?”“Since when did you become a Healer? What makes you think I am in pain?”“I-”“Let us eat,” Rune ordered, and Symon paused his intention to chase the woman out of their abode. Minutes were spent eating in silence. Despite the quietness, Symon found the scene dear since he had spent many days without seeing Alpha Rune. While watching the Alpha focus on the human, he checked to see if Rune was eating well. Once satisfied by how much Rune had eaten, he returned to

    “You fucking bastard!”That did not come from Catherine, so Maxon was super startled. And he was more startled when a sharp punch slapped his head from behind. “What the-”“What did you just say?! Huh? You took Rune to where?”That feminine voice was very unfamiliar, so was the face of the voice. But, he could not lie, the woman glaring at him looked quite alluring and the degree of pain from her punch made her more interesting.“And you,” he watched as she faced Catherine, “is it true? Are you the reason Rune is battling so much pain?”“R-Rose…” Catherine stuttered. “The… human,” Maxon spluttered, his back straightening while he reasoned whether to retaliate her punch. “What? Are you going to deny everything? Do you want to claim that he is lying about everything?” the woman kept glaring at Catherine and it was amusing to see the she-wolf looking slightly fearful. “Rose, please…” Catherine stepped back with caution. “That is not our focus right now. He…” She looked at Maxon. “He

    Maxon never knew a day would come when he would enjoy the meals served by the castle chefs. He usually depended on the meals his wolf hunted in the dead of night. But on this very day, the food that the human nature of werewolves desired kept vanishing down his throat with great ease.Getting rid of Rune was that much of a pleasure to his soul. Even his irregular sleep lifestyle was easily fixed. “Maxon!” The sound of his mother’s rage was also music to his ears. As she rushed into the grand yet almost empty dining room, he watched her with a confident smile plastered on his face. “Where is he?”He put down the rib in his hand. He then relaxed and dared the Luna Dowager’s presence. “Who?”“Rune!”“Easy, mother. You are not so young anymore.”“Where…?” She bared her teeth. “... the fuck is your brother?”“In a good place. Don’t worry, he is not dead.”“I clearly told you-”“I told you to stop being nosy,” he calmly cut her short. “Why are you being so stubborn? How come all you ever s

    Symon could have missed Rose walking into the hideout with the ex-Luna behind her. Thank goodness he listened to the voice in his gut that told him to stay back for a few minutes to rest.“Rose!” Omega Keith rushed to hug the woman whose eyes seemed to be searching for Rune’s presence. “Oh…” The he-wolf’s shaky voice pitied the human. “What happened to you? Who did this to you?”“Um…” She was still searching, her neck craning as though her mate would walk out of one of the nearby rooms with a grand smile. This view increased the sorrow in Symon’s heart, and tears inevitably formed in his eyes. He felt shitty, he could only imagine how worse the woman would feel once she learned that her mate was missing. As he turned to the side to wipe those tears, he properly noticed Catherine, who was also searching for Rune’s presence.“Catherine,” he sternly called her. “Why are you here?”“I know about it.” She shifted closer, her eyes rabid with desperation. “I know he is missing.”“Uhm…” The

    For many minutes, Rose remained in that spot. There was no special reason, it just happened that she could not rush out of that room after the incredulous freedom she had just witnessed. Or perhaps that was the very reason. Her mind was still in awe of that mighty presence, one part of her rejoiced that Richard was no longer alive to torture her, while another part of her soul feared that the miracle she witnessed was a figment of her imagination.After shaking her head to clear her multiplying thoughts, Rose’s sorrowful lips formed a smile, and the slight ache that followed that motion assured her and the latter part of her thoughts that she did not imagine anything. She was indeed free from Richard, free from his demonic nature and desire to destroy her. She could now walk out and reunite with Rune, who she worried would be battling with severe frustration. So, she did that. She got up, walked past Richard's mortal body and left the room. Upon entering the next room, she met ma

    “He is still not back?” Symon’s worry was now very uncontrollable. It had been two days since Alpha Rune left to search for Rose. The Beta found it worrisome that Rune did not return with or without Rose, so he went out to find him. But hours of searching yielded no result, and his desire to find Rune waiting in the hideout was instantly crushed when he got there. “We have searched everywhere. We even sent some of our wolves to spy on the castle, but nothing has come out of it. What if something terrible happened?” Omega Keith could not hide his anguish. “I don’t want to think the worst,” answered Symon, his eyes tightly shut to help him endure the brewing terror in his soul. “I don't want to.”“But, his curse. Beta Symon, that curse is merciless. What if he is stuck somewhere, lying unconscious? We have to-” Keith slapped his thigh. He could not hide his anguish. “Where else can we search? What else can we do to find him?”Symon sighed as he sat to relieve the ache in his feet. “Th

    From the depths of her soul. Rose released a breath that shook her so much that her body stayed fixed, her eyes wide and unblinking. Her mouth gaped, she glared at the evil standing before her, and she cursed the day she met Richard in her mind. Then, she started to wonder if she had always been blind to his true nature. She should have suspected that he was not purely human the day he came to Rune’s house with a rabid, unworldly beast. She should have linked his obsession to find and destroy her to something supernaturally wicked.“Don’t sweat it, Rosie,” Richard said, his dark eyes and terrible smell returning to where they came from. “No matter how you beat yourself up, you will find out that there was no way you could have known my true nature. Even the pastors didn’t know. They were suspicious, but they didn’t know. Well,” he held his chin as if thinking about a deep detail, “back then, I was still human. I had not taken back my powers, so it was very easy to deceive other human

    Catherine did not understand how she was patient enough to wait for President Christopher to show up. She was especially angry that when the human eventually showed up, his half-assed answers displayed no regard for her. He made her look so foolish, she almost slapped his head against the table. But, beyond her desire to make the human bleed, she still needed his connection to get rid of Rune’s mate.Speaking of Rune… It had been so long since she had seen him. As she wondered if he was doing fine, she headed into the gateway she opened and readied her soul to be healed by Rune’s precious sight.

    “This… This is the pack,” Rune faintly commented when their journey ended. “So, back there…”“We were still in the human world,” Symon completed. “I am super confused right now.”“I have to find Rose. Other things can come after,” Rune said. But he soon realised that the weakness of his wolf was tampering with his head. He struggled with sorting out his thoughts. “Uh… do you remember the way?”The Beta relieved Rune of the burden of holding Keith. “The hideout is not too far from here. Can you feel Rose’s presence?”That question worsened Rune’s inner burden. “No. I don’t know why.”“Maybe she is asleep,” answered the Beta as he piggybacked the Omega. “If that were the case, I would still be able to sense her soul. But there is nothing.” Rune exhaled hard. “There is no use debating it. Lead the way.”They wasted no time. They reached the hideout, and the moment they descended the stairs, Beta Runabis ran towards them, a frown on his forehead. “Alpha Rune, why are you back?” the Beta

    “I did it,” Christopher tried to tame his excitement as he walked into the multinational-standard laboratory his government had been secretly equipping. “I actually did it.” He glanced at the three he-wolves strapped to the stretchers. “Professor, how do we keep Rune alive?”The professor, a middle-aged man maddened by science and technology, swirled his chair to face Christopher. “Pres, you are here. Liquid is in prep right now.”Christopher rushed a breath out of his soul. The professor’s lingo was always changing, the only constant was how difficult it was to understand him. “Liquid? What liquid?”“The liquid to keep him alive. The bullets didn’t do a lot of damage to the tough guy, but these belts are slowly sucking out his energy. Since the belts are the only way we can hold him down, we cannot loosen them. We need him to be in the best shape, don’t we? So,” the Prof’s crazy eyes widened, “I am preparing a little something.”“I see. That is good.”“What should we do about the oth
