ログインFor days, Ronan had remained by Alice’s side. No one dared to speak up, even though it was painfully obvious how exhausted he was. His eyes were sunken, framed by thick, dark circles, and his stubble and beard had grown out, wild and unkempt. He still made sure to bathe, though these were lightning-fast affairs, lasting less than ten minutes. He refuse to bring in any germs or cause Alice any discomfort when she eventually woke up. But he skipped eating entirely. One had to wonder what kind of steel his body was forged from, given his ability to go days without consuming a single bite.“How could I possibly eat when Alice cannot?” Ronan would snap coldly whenever someone brought him a tray of food.Albus let out a heavy sigh and bowed respectfully. “Sir, the situation you and the Lady are in is quite different—”“Stop it.” Ronan shot Albus a sharp, piercing glare. “Just ensure that nothing chaotic happens out there, nothing that might cause trouble for my wife when she wakes up.”Lo
"Why are you coming to me looking for your damn kid?""I know she’s with you! Don’t even try to deny it, I know what you’re planning! I don’t care; give me back my daughter, or I’ll report you to Bachnault!"The threat didn’t stir a single nerve in Gerald. Instead, the old man smirked, leaning back against the creaky wooden chair. "Does your daughter know what a coward you are? You don’t hold a candle to her, she’s far braver than you.""Shut up! Bring Diana home, now! I’m not bluffing, if you—"Gerald cut the call and tossed the phone back onto the table, where it landed with a sharp clatter. He took a deep drag from his cigar, holding the toxic smoke in his lungs for a moment before exhaling slowly toward the dim ceiling.Speaking of Diana... how was the woman faring today?Gerald stood up and headed upstairs, his footsteps eliciting stiff, creaking sounds from the wooden staircase. He made his way to a cramped room at the end of the hallway. Upon entering, he had to stoop slightly
That afternoon, the hospital corridor turned chillingly ominous, permeated by a biting, icy cold. Alice was rushed to the emergency ward after her body began to shiver violently, even though she was completely unconscious. Her lips had turned a pale, bluish hue, and her smooth skin was covered in an inexplicable, thin layer of frost. Yet, when a team of the most senior specialists examined her vitals, the medical results presented a baffling picture. There was no distress to her unborn child, and all of Alice’s vital organ functions remained stable. The human doctors stood frozen, unable to explain why Alice was shivering so intensely when, clinically, she appeared to be in perfect physical health.Ronan was absolutely incensed. He grabbed one of the lead doctors by the collar, lifting the poor man several centimeters off the floor. With his jaw clenched and eyes burning with rage, he demanded that they bring in someone who actually understood what was wrong with his wife.Following
“You’ve made that decision yourself, Alpha Alice,” the Elder said, rising from his seat. “Do not ever ask the Council for help again.”Alice merely nodded, indifferent.“And regarding the funds you previously provided—”“Keep them. I’m not petty enough to claw those funds back,” Alice cut in, her tone cold.The three Elders finally turned and walked away.That day, the Council officially issued a decree: all packs were forbidden from assisting the Moonshade Pack. Anyone who dared to offer aid would face severe individual punishment, effective immediately.However, this decree did not hold much weight on the ground. Less than two hours after the Elders’ departure, Alpha Knox reached out to Alice personally.Upon hearing the tragic news of what had befallen his children, Alpha Knox’s fury erupted. He immediately mobilized his entire intelligence network and legal influence across the North. To Alpha Knox, any warnings or threats from the Council meant nothing. Alpha Giorgio of the Lumin
“Hah.” Ronan let out a snort, his gaze sharpening, clouded by a thick, murderous aura directed at the three middle-aged men before him. “What was it you just asked my wife to do? You’re out of your mind.”Alice simply took a deep breath, her warm fingers tracing the back of Ronan’s tense hand. She had no issue whatsoever with the way Ronan challenged the elders. In fact, she supported every sharp word that escaped her husband’s lips.The elders growled stiffly. They sneered at Ronan, calling him an ill-mannered human who presumed to know about the internal affairs of the wolfkind, despite him being nothing more than an ordinary mortal. In a threatening tone, they told Ronan to stop interfering, warning him that if he continued to puff out his chest among wolves, he would be the one to live with the regret.Hearing this crude threat, it was Alice’s turn to speak. “No one will make my husband regret anything, sirs. Because I will be the one to turn the tables, until it is you who end u
With her breath growing shallow and coming in violent tremors, Radine revealed that the wolf they had found was nothing more than a bait. Alice told her to stop speaking, then gestured sharply for the healer team and those who had arrived with her to immediately begin providing first aid to Radine and the other lying there, bleeding.Alice swept her gray gaze across the dreary warehouse. She did not see young Alpha Kael among the ranks of the groaning victims. Anxiety gnawed at her chest. She wanted to ask Radine, but her friend was clearly in no state to carry on a conversation.That was when things took a far more chilling turn. As one of the healers she had brought along suddenly began to weep. That soft, stifled sob seemed to confirm the very worst of Alice’s fears."Their wolf... is dying," the healer whispered, their voice trembling. "We cannot help them on a spiritual level. Alpha, what do we do?"Ah, fuck.Was this what Radine had meant by a trap? Gerald wasn't just after thei
"What have you done to your own sister, Alice?!" Father's roar was thunderous.“Father, that's not…”Before I could blink, a heavy blow struck my head. I staggered, my vision swam, and I collapsed onto the dirt. The only one who met my gaze at that time was Victor, but he… he was still hugging Ella
On the night that was meant to mark our bond, my mate forced me to kneel and beg forgiveness from my older sister, Ella."Ella has suffered enough because of you, Alice."I lifted my head slowly.Victor, the future Alpha, stood before me. Tall, composed, and perfect. The man who used to look at me
This is… crazy.I could hear my heart pounding right in my ears. I hoped he couldn't hear it, and couldn't hear the rattling of my brain trying to lie."Do you really not remember anything?" His deep voice broke the silence.I looked up at him.Morning light spilled across his face, catching on tha
As the guards grabbed my legs to drag my limp body, the Alpha stepped into the centre of the ground, his voice cutting through the noise."To welcome my daughter-in-law, Ella, into the family, I have brought a special gift for her," he announced delightedly. "The Hunter has been captured! Now you c
