LOGINHa, is it over now?Someone, please clap and declare that this mad spectacle has ended. Please announce that she now officially holds the dubious honor of being the child who just tore her own father apart.She felt as though the inside of her chest, right beneath her ribs, was being ground down by a millstone. Her eyes burned with searing heat, threatening to spill tears that would ruin the reputation of the ferocious monster she had just established.This was her decision. Her most rational choice to build and protect her new family. Her world certainly had a cruel sense of humor, handing her a script of destiny this wretched.“Please, don't move again, Father.” Alice thought, gazing down at the massive, blood-soaked body of the black wolf beneath her feet.She truly didn't want to launch another attack. Her energy was completely spent. The more brutally she pushed her shifting abilities and gravitational aura to their limits, the more dangerous the consequences became for the fetus
No matter how hard Alice racked her brains, this bloody duel remained the single most efficient shortcut.Crushing the pack’s head and seizing absolute control of the den was the fastest way to secure dominance, and to sever the lineage of a family already rotting from within.Alice glanced toward the edge of the arena. Her heart pounded with anticipation. She desperately wanted to see Ronan’s expression when he laid eyes on her true form, a form he had always regarded as that of a loathsome monster. If he recoiled after seeing it, then so be it; that was only natural.And one more crucial thing... her father. Edmund’s wolf form was a massive, pitch-black beast with a vertical scar running across its left eye. Alice wondered how Ronan would view him.When the corner of her eye caught Ronan’s silhouette suddenly freezing stiff, Alice simply closed her eyes. A storm of emotions raged in her chest.‘I had hoped it wouldn't come to this, yet here we are.’A long, ear-splitting howl erupte
"Ugh, you're so loud."Alice picked at her right ear with her little finger, rolling her eyes in a display of lazy, utter contempt. She clicked her tongue in annoyance as she stared at her own biological father. At the top of the stairs, Edmund’s jaw clenched so tightly that the grinding of his teeth sounded like stones being crushed together.Edmund descended a single marble step. Every movement exuded a forced dominance. "Not only have you betrayed your own blood," he hissed through gritted teeth, "but you also dare to come here and challenge this pack. Have you forgotten—""Shh!" Alice cut him off quickly, raising a finger into the air. "You talk too much, Mister Edmund."Edmund’s eyes widened. Green veins bulged in his neck. His clenched knuckles twitched at his sides. Catching that micro-movement, Alice grinned broadly. Her smile was laced with poisonous provocation."What?" Alice challenged, tilting her head. "Do you want to hit me in front of this new audience of yours?"Alice
Victor’s eyes bulged, the whites fully exposed in naked rage, before a sharp, unhinged laugh ripped from his throat. "Removed? Have you lost your mind?! I am the rightful blood heir to this family!"Edmund let out a dark, guttural chuckle. His gaze swept over Victor like he was looking at a smear of rot. "You do not even possess a wolf anymore. You are a disgraced, wolfless shell. Know your place.""Bastard!" Victor roared, his vocal cords straining. He whipped his head toward his personal guards, spittle flying from his lips. "Arrest this traitor! Arrest Edmund for treason!"A thick, suffocating silence dropped over the marble hall. Not a single boot shifted. Not a single muscle twitched. The guards kept their eyes pinned to the floor, rendering Victor’s command utterly obsolete."What are you waiting for?! Move!" Victor shrieked, driving his human fist into the chest plate of the nearest guard. The warrior didn't even flinch.Sensing the exact moment Victor’s blind rage left him com
His men looked down in fear, swallowing hard. "B-bad news, Alpha. Even though our team was on full alert with heavy weapons outside the Bachnault residence, it was useless. As you know... Alice and the Hunter apparently didn't return to their mansion after the accident."Victor massaged the bridge of his nose, which was throbbing violently. His eyes radiated the despair of a king who had lost his crown."Then," Victor hissed, trying to keep his voice from shaking. "Who is currently in the Bachnault mansion?""Only a handful of people, Alpha," the man reported quickly. "An old man… seems to be his personal butler, and several lowly servants. His guards are focused outside the perimeter."Hearing the report, the corners of Victor's lips slowly turned upwards. A crooked smile that was crazy and full of cunning calculations was etched on his face. His red eyes flashed with a dirty plan. The lowly humans in the mansion could be the golden ticket."Get Edgar out of the underground cell righ
By the time we arrived at the hospital emergency room, of course, the only thing the doctor needed to notice about me was the numbness of my leg.He stood beside my gurney with a deep frown, his eyes darting back and forth over the paramedic's notes and the skin on my arm. All the scratches, bruises, and glass shards that had previously clearly covered my body and been neatly recorded by the ambulance staff had now vanished without a trace. My skin was as smooth as porcelain, just a little bit of dry blood. The doctor examined my head, arms, and legs with a medical flashlight, but there were no open wounds that needed stitches.The middle-aged man tilted his head, muttering softly to himself, "Was the paramedic in the field delirious or drunk?"Ronan, who was standing impatiently on the other side of my bed, his shirt soaked in blood, interrupted sharply. "Ignore the notes. What about the leg?"The doctor cleared his throat and immediately pointed to the X-ray on the screen. "After t
From one figure, it became two, then more. Before I knew it, a whole group had gathered in front of me. Their harsh conversation stopped as soon as my shadow fell to the floor. Six pairs of eyes turned simultaneously. Their gazes didn't just stare; they clawed at my skin, stripping away any vestige
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
"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
