Cindy's POV"You should kill that brutal Alpha of yours and then come to me. We’ll leave here together." In the dim dungeon, Cutter's voice rang in my ears.I clenched my fist, gritted my teeth, and said, "No. I won't betray my Pack. I promised Alpha. I swore to him."I swallowed the sour taste in my throat and continued, "I almost betrayed him at the border and told you our battle plan. He obviously grew suspicious towards me, but he still gave me a second chance. I can't...""You can't what? Betray him? He did you a little favor, and you gave him your life?!"Cutter approached me. His body was covered with scars, and the smell of blood filled the air. However, I could also smell a forest scent that belonged to him among everything else.He reached out his hand and squeezed my chin. "Don't forget that I'm your mate, Cindy! You belong to me, not him! Why do you always bring up that bloodthirsty murderer?!"I recalled back to the battlefield a few days ago.When I followed Alpha Enzo a
The moment she saw Enzo's black car, Cindy's eyes widened and she froze on the spot. The man called Cutter grabbed her hand and raced down the road.I was shocked beyond words. I gulped hard, then hurriedly mindlinked Kyle.After delivering Enzo's order, I got out of the car.Right at this moment, Enzo picked up a trash can on the side of the road and smacked it right into Cutter's back.Cutter stumbled forward; his wound ripped open. He clutched his ribs before falling to the ground.Enzo strode forward, instantly shifting his right hand into a wolf claw, and was about to sink it into Cutter's chest."No!"A heart-wrenching cry rang out, and Enzo's hand froze mid-air.Cindy stood in front of Cutter. A strong female warrior as she is, yet her eyes were currently rimmed red.Enzo lapsed into silent but didn't withdraw his wolf claws. Instead, he turned to Cindy and asked coldly, "Are you going to betray the Pack and me?""I-I'm not...""Then what are you doing right now? You're letting
Enzo's POVAndrea surprised me with her the speed of her reaction. When Cutter turned to attack her, my heart almost jump to my throat.But then my girl turned into a wolf and dodged the blow perfectly.Her wolf was so beautiful, with her fur glowing softly under the moonlight.When she jumped past me, it was like the moon fallen to Earth.I saw that Cutter wanted to lunge at Andrea again, and I sneered.Had he forgotten me? Did he really think I would let him attack my mate right in front of me again and again?!When he dashed toward Andrea, I dashed in between them. At the same time, Andrea launched herself on the car roof and ran away quickly, killing the odds of Cutter catching her and using her to threaten me.Drool leaked from the corner of Cutter's mouth, his eyes blood red. He let out a dangerous grunt before turning his attention to me once he saw that Andrea was out of his reach.He let out a desperate howl and lunged at me.I sneered. "How dare you."He might want to tear m
Enzo's POV A spasm of despair flitted across Cindy’s face. She asked in disbelief, "Did we really attack the Night Fang Pack?! Did we really rob them and rape their women?!" Before I could speak, Cindy became more agitated. "Impossible. I was never in that fight. It's impossible!" "Calm down. I didn't say that we attacked their Pack before." Cindy gave me a blank look. Just then, someone knocked the door. Kyle walked in with Cutter, who had been bandaged and given a change of clothes. "Cutter!" Cindy hurried to Cutter's side to look over his injuries. "Are you okay?" Cutter shook his head and replied, "I'm fine." "We could have explained ourselves. Why did you do that?" Cindy choked. "He simply didn't want to drag you into this," I said, interrupting the two of them. Cutter snorted coldly. He hadn’t recovered himself from our earlier fight yet, so he kept shooting me hostile looks. Leaving aside the non-existent hatred between us, it was perfectly natural for him to be hos
Enzo's POVCutter eventually gave in."How do you intend to investigate?" He asked me."At least let me speak to this Ernest you keep bringing up.""Are you going to confront him?"I shook my head. "That's not a good idea. If he's really lying, then a straight-up confrontation would only tip him off.""What's your plan?""We'll investigate secretly. I'll need you to play along."Cutter frowned. "I don't understand.""It's simple. You'll pretend that Cindy rescued you, and you both ran away together. Kyle and I will disguise ourselves as Cindy's subordinates, and you'll take us back to your hideout. We need the culprits to expose themselves."Cutter clenched his fist as he considered my proposal. After a few minutes, he nodded. "Okay. But I have one condition."I frowned. "What's the condition?""I need a hostage.""A hostage?""Yes. How do I know this isn't just some trick of yours? What if I lead you to our hideout, and you turn around and kill all my people?"Cutter paused, turned f
We had to make sure that our act was convincing enough. So, we ended up deciding to stage a rescue of Cutter, since no one could guarantee that there wasn't a mole in our Pack.We chose to move at night. By the time we got Cutter out of the dungeon and across the border, the sky was already turning bright.After traveling for a while, we found a place beside water and took a short break.Enzo handed me some cookies and water. "Here, have something to eat."Kyle blinked. "Where's mine? What about me?""Didn't you bring your own?" Enzo shot back.Kyle pouted. "You're so biased. Even though Andrea is your Luna, I'm still your Beta, you know?"Frustrated, he turned around and caught the sight of Cindy and Cutter sharing food.Kyle silently turned his head away once more and muttered, "Why am I the only one single here?"After the short break, Enzo asked, "How far is it from your hideout?""About thirty minutes away now," Cutter replied.After walking through another forest, we arrived at
The girl had black hair, brown eyes, with delicate and beautiful features. She looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.Cindy's face instantly darkened. She stood with her arms folded across her chest and narrowed her eyes.Cutter didn't let her go. Instead, he patted the girl on the back and said, "Sorry to worry you.""It's okay. As long as you're alright, it's fine!" The girl said as tears streamed down her face."How long are you guys going to hug it out?" Cindy said coldly with raised eyebrows, an unfriendly look in her eyes.Only then did Cutter react. He held the girl's hand and turned around. "This is my cousin, Sheri.""Cousin?" Cindy and I said together."Yeah."The defensive look on Cindy's face faded, but...Sheri was stunned the second she released Cutter. She froze on the spot, her eyes twitched as if something was off. Then, she moved her nose and exclaimed in disbelief, "Mate?!"All her attention was on Kyle at this moment.Kyle shuddered and took a step ba
"Do you still think I'm lying to you?" Enzo asked as he glared at Cutter."...No, maybe it's just a coincidence." Cutter slumped down on a rock.I could feel Cutter growing suspicious towards Ernest, and he was gradually leaning towards us.However, forcing Cutter to doubt a man he'd always believed in would be cruel.I took Enzo's hand and said, "Give him some time to think about it."A few minutes later, Sheri returned with some dry bread and jam."Sorry. I've looked around, but I only found these for you," Sheri said with a shy smile."It's okay. It's good enough," I replied with a smile of my own. I took the food from Sheri and handed it over to everyone.As she passed Kyle the food, I pretended not to see the two extra slices of bacon in his share.When Sheri walked up to Cutter, he grabbed Sheri's hand and frowned. "Sheri, I need to ask you something. You have to be honest.""What is it?""Did Uncle Ernest say anything to you when I was away? Or was there anything unusual about
