Jeol’s POV (Andrew’s wolf)That afternoon, I brought two thousand warriors to the River Hexagon Pack. Two days ago, they attacked us. We wasted no time retaliating against them.Two days ago, Beta Duncan’s wolf fought Alpha Henry’s wolf because Andrew’s right leg was swollen.The damn poison that came from who knows what plant had forced Andrew to hide from the public, not meet Alaric, and I couldn’t switch bodies with him to fight the bastard Alpha Henry’s wolf.Thousands of my warrior troops and I ran fast towards the west, not caring about the people who pulled over their vehicles and stopped walking to give us the way or were afraid of us.River Oval Pack and River Hexagon Pack were quite close. We have been enemies for thousands of years. Back then, our ancestors fought over a forest that caused thousands of our warriors to die, and then we never had the desire to make peace.That forest did not belong to anyone. We cannot have it. Therefore, we would not let another pack claim i
Andrew’s POVI closed my eyes, enjoying the cold night air blowing hard against my body.When I opened my eyes, I saw the night sky, the moon, and one star.Happiness was filling my chest.A few hours ago, my wolf and our warrior troop fought with Alpha Henry’s wolf and the warrior troop from the River Hexagon Pack.My wolf and Alpha Henry’s wolf injured each other. We weren’t severely injured because both wolves knew when to rest. Our body regeneration would slow down if we got a lot of injuries.The war lasted for more than five hours. No warriors from my pack or Alpha Henry’s pack died. They were only lightly injured and badly injured, which was a common thing we got during the war.I sat on a wooden chair on my balcony. I wanted to take a short break. Then I would go to Alaric’s room at 10. I didn’t want to disturb Rebecca’s sleep.“Alpha.”I frowned. Tabitha called me through the mind link.“Yes?”Tabitha hadn’t done that for so long that I forgot we could communicate through a m
Auretta’s POV“I told you Alpha would let us. He agreed with your idea of bringing the future Alpha to the Mountain Volcano Pack!” Beta Lyra said happily.We were in Alaric’s room. A few minutes ago, we had just gone to Alpha Andrew’s workspace to express our desire to bring Alaric to the Mountain Volcano Pack, to visit his mother’s grave, and to show Alaric to the people there.Luckily, Beta Lyra didn’t say it was my idea. I was worried that Alpha Andrew would be suspicious of me or he would feel uncomfortable because I interfered in Alaric’s life.“Future Alpha.” Beta Lyra poked Alaric's cheeks, who was sitting on my lap.“This afternoon, we are going to your mother’s pack. The last time you were there was to attend your mother’s funeral.” Beta Lyra said with a sad face, and then she smiled widely. “Tomorrow, you will meet your mother. You have to show her that you can talk!”Beta Lyra held Alaric’s tiny hand. “I believe your mother is always watching over you. You should believe
We arrived at the Mountain Pack Clan border office. We had to pass through the gate to visit one of the eight packs located there.The warriors checked our identities, belongings, and cars. They made sure we were not carrying any weapons or bombs.Even though we had been checked by them, when we arrived at our destination pack, the warriors there would still check us. That was the security protocol implemented by all packs to keep their packs safe from danger.However, rogues, rogue assassins, and spy warriors from enemy packs were still able to enter a pack without being detected. Only they knew how they could outsmart the super-tight security system.The border office of each clan never checked the Alphas and their thousands of wolf warriors who were about to attack their enemies. The border office staff were well aware that they would not be able to deal with wolves who were driven by their killing lust.“You are welcome to enter,” a male warrior from the Mountain Mist Pack said to
An hour after breakfast, we headed to the burial for Alphas and their family. The grave we went directly to had a tombstone with Auretta Dawson's name and the date of her death.Beta Lyra placed a red rose on the grave. She sat with her knees on the ground. She could no longer hold back the tears she had held back since yesterday.Beta Lyra sobbed as if the person she was crying over had just died this morning. Her left hand touched her chest, and her right hand stroked the tombstone.“Luna. I, I, I miss you.”Beta Lyra still called me Luna.“This is your mother’s grave.” Alaric looked around in confusion. “Your mother is happy in heaven.” I was so great that I could say that without my voice shaking.I had one knee on the ground a few steps in front of the tombstone. My heart felt like it was being torn apart. I tried hard to hold back my anger.I closed my eyes to calm myself. My wolf spoke words of wisdom softly to help me calm down.The sixteen warriors Alpha Andrew sent to protec
Beta Lyra's tears flowed even after she released her hug from me.Alaric looked at us in confusion. Then Beta Caleb, Gamma Gabriel, and Delta Vanessa played with him again.Alaric smiled as Delta Vanessa put hand puppets on each of her fingers, and one by one, the puppets kissed Alaric's cheeks.I didn't want to show my face to Alaric, worried that Alaric would remember me. How pathetic I was."Stop crying, Beta Lyra." I held her hand.“I apologize. I regret that day I couldn’t defend you.” Beta Lyra looked at me with tears that wouldn’t stop flowing down her cheeks as she tried to speak clearly.“I was so sad when I got back to the pack. I couldn’t find you, and then I got the news from my mate that Alpha had rejected you. I should have been there to defend you!” Beta Lyra wiped the tears on her cheeks with her T-shirt sleeve.“I can’t believe you betrayed Alpha. I know you and Warrior Johan aren’t what Alpha thinks. I know you love Alpha very much.” Beta Lyra expressed everything in
Andrew’s POV“We’ve attacked the River Octagon Pack. Are they going to attack us back or not?” I tilted my head with a raised eyebrow.I leaned back in my office chair, my elbows on the arms of the chair and my chin resting on my palms.I was alone in my workspace. I was enjoying the success of my wolf and thousands of our warrior wolves in attacking one of our pack’s enemies.‘Alpha Eduardo and his wolf rarely counterattack. Their elders forbid them from fighting, but as an Alpha, Alpha Eduardo can fight those elderly men,’ my wolf said.‘But it seems like Alpha Eduardo and his wolf are too lazy to fight. That’s why they rarely attack their pack’s enemies.’ My wolf gave his opinion. He mocked Alpha Eduardo and his cowardly wolf.‘You’re right. Alpha Eduardo only uses the ban to keep himself and his wolf away from the war. Besides, it’s not just the elders of the River Octagon Pack who disagree with the war; all the elders in the packs are strongly against it,’ I said.‘Our elders are
I monitor the warrior wolves training to fight in the second-largest forest in the pack.The first largest forest in the pack is used as a battlefield.I no longer hide from the public, especially the enemies, that my wolf and I have the ambition to attack all the enemies of our pack.We will mobilize all our warriors to fight.Thousands of warrior troops would join my wolf fighting on the battlefield; 10 percent of them were those who had only been warriors for a year.We didn’t need to doubt the strength of the warrior wolves, whether they were experienced or not in war. Gamma and Delta never make mistakes in judging a wolf who is worthy of the title of warrior.I was not alone in monitoring the strength of the two thousand warrior wolves. I share the task with Beta and the chief warrior. We made sure they were all classified as war participants.In addition to assessing the strength and stamina of their wolves, we also check their health. I would revoke the warrior title of those w
Andrew’s POVI went to the prison every day to see Beta Caleb. Sometimes, I went to Warrior Johan’s prison cell. Both of them were very good at provoking my anger.Beta Caleb stubbornly refused my request to order the chief warrior to disband all his protesting pack members, and Warrior Johan wouldn’t open his mouth to tell me the truth.I got increasingly annoyed when the elite team warrior leader informed me that Gamma Gabriel and Delta Vanessa were just as stubborn as Beta Caleb. Clearly, they had been planning their action for a long time.They loved the late Alpha Auretta so much that they couldn’t accept me.Sometimes, I wanted to do something to make them like me, but the feeling of laziness and not caring was much greater. Ultimately, I let them hate me and wouldn’t leave my position as their Alpha.“Hi, Alpha Andrew. How are you today?” Beta Caleb spoke after swallowing his lunch.I didn’t like his cheerful face and voice because I knew he was two-faced. There wasn’t a person
“Winter will end this month,” I said. Alaric was on my lap. I sat on the porch chair.Alaric bundled up. Hopefully, he wouldn’t catch a cold or flu during the winter because that would indicate that his body’s regeneration was working well.Alaric would be a strong Alpha. I would guide him until he grew up as his mother.I was ready to play my role as both a mother and a father.Honestly, I never thought the Moon Goddess would give me a new mate. I wanted to live with Alaric alone. We would create our own happiness.Alaric would not lack affection. Everyone in both packs adored and cared for him.Yes, I realize I was selfish because a father's love was distinct from the love of those around him.“After this, it’s spring. The air is warmer than winter.” I let Alaric daydream as I observed the surroundings.“Then, after spring, you’ll have summer,” I said excitedly and smiled brightly, showing my teeth.“You’re about to turn one. Whoa, you’re getting older. Do you want to celebrate your
Auretta’s POVI smiled widely, reading dozens of articles on the internet.Everyone commented on the attack carried out by Beta Caleb and his two thousand three hundred warriors on the River Oval Pack and the members of the Mountain Volcano Pack who demonstrated asking Alpha Andrew to relinquish his position as temporary Alpha.They understood very well that Alpha Andrew meant well to occupy the position of Alpha in the Mountain Volcano Pack until Alaric was appointed Alpha. Still, they could not forget the crimes the River Oval Pack committed for decades.Alpha Andrew was the Alpha of the River Oval Pack for about two years. He only led his warrior squad to attack my pack once because after we met, he no longer had any ambitions to own the Mountain Volcano Pack.We didn't forget that, but as I said, everyone in the Mountain Volcano Pack had already come to view the River Oval Pack as evil.‘I’m so proud of them. They’re not afraid of the River Oval Pack,’ my wolf said.‘I’m so proud
Beta Duncan's wolf fighting Beta Caleb's wolf.We never expected the Mountain Volcano Pack to attack our pack. They sent two thousand three hundred of their warriors and left four hundred warriors to guard their pack from the enemies.Their actions were ridiculous. For some reason, they left their pack lightly guarded, allowing their enemies to destroy it.Did they think I would order my warriors to fight their enemies?On the other hand, I was amazed by the unity of the Mountain Volcano Pack members. The people, who numbered less than three thousand, held a sit-in demonstration along the road from the front gate to the back gate of their pack.They asked me to relinquish my position as their temporary Alpha. They stated loudly that Beta Caleb could be their Beta and Alpha until Alaric was made Alpha.“Our spy warriors are incompetent,” I growled in annoyance. “They got the information after thousands of warriors ran away from the Mountain Volcano Pack, but it cannot be denied that th
Andrew’s POVThat morning, I visited the prison where we had imprisoned the rogues, rogue assassins, and wild werewolves we captured a month ago.We had captured those who had escaped during the mass arrest operation, which provided us with information about where they often gathered.They swore they were not the perpetrators I was looking for. I both believed and did not believe their statement.We did not suffer any loss by imprisoning them. They were the ones who tortured themselves.I was certainly very happy to see the warriors punish them.There was no mercy for them even though they helped us detect our security system.“Are you happy with your sentence? Life imprisonment, 100 lashes, and a cold shower every day,” Beta Duncan said as he stood next to me.We watched the two rogues in the prison cell eating with trembling hands. They get food after being whipped, and we mandate them to finish it.“I’m not satisfied with the punishment they got, but after thinking about it, it see
I was worried, thinking about what would happen if Alpha Andrew visited Alaric even though he had already met Alaric during the day when my ears clearly caught his words. Unconsciously, I looked at him in confusion. Why did he ask Warrior Johan that? 'Did my Alpha find something wrong with Warrior Johan's statement at that time?' Beta Lyra contacted me through the mind link. My wolf and I will think about his words seriously. 'I don't know,' I answered. I focused my ears to listen to the conversation between Alpha Andrew and Warrior Johan until I didn't care that the two warriors guarding Alpha Andrew would suspect me and Beta Lyra. “Oh, so you don’t want to answer?” Alpha Andrew nodded his head. His voice implied his anger and disappointment. The atmosphere became tense when Alpha Andrew announced, “From tomorrow onwards, you will be punished with 100 lashes a day.” Whoa, he wasn’t lying. He really increased Warrior Johan’s punishment. Alpha Andrew left the prison with light s
Auretta’s POVAlaric was five months old. I have been his Nanny for about four months.Alaric already remembers me well, but the problem was that he knew I was his nanny. I was starting to worry that Alaric didn’t want to accept me in the future.‘Alaric will remember your warmth and gentleness, Auretta.’ My wolf’s words did not really calm me down.Alaric grabbed the cloth book with pictures of fruits and put it in his mouth.“Tigers are dangerous. They can pounce and eat you or your wolf before you or your wolf catches them,” I said.“Those stuffed animals look cute, but they’re not really cute, especially wild animals,” I warned Alaric to stop thinking all animals were friendly even though he wouldn’t remember what I said when he grew up.Alaric stared at me without blinking, an expression he showed whenever he heard someone giving him knowledge.“Some wolves like to eat raw animal meat.” I glanced at the pictures of animals on the wood. “Our wolves will ask us to go to the wild fo
“Alaric.”My feet stepped into the playroom while calling Alaric, kicking the toys above him and holding a rattle with his hand.Alaric turned to me, smiling widely, eyes sparkling, and his legs moving faster as if pedaling a bicycle.I was stunned, and my heart felt like it was being pinched. Alaric was so happy to welcome me, who could only be with him for a few minutes. Rebecca said that Alaric recognized me as his father.When Alaric was under a month old, I couldn't hold him for more than ten minutes because he would cry. Now I know why Alaric used to be like that; I often pinched his cheeks and nose. It was still fresh in my memory how upset my late ex-mate was.I didn't pinch Alaric's cheeks and nose anymore. Alaric needed my hugs and caring gaze to remind him that he had me and I would never leave him.“Hey, how are you, my handsome son?” I poked Alaric’s cheek and looked him straight in the eye. “You haven’t slept because you knew I was coming? Are you a psychic?”Alaric babb
Andrew’s POV‘Those guys must think you’re weak,’ my wolf said. ‘They shot your shoulders with poison bullets and arrows carrying a piece of warning paper more than a month ago, and the four floors of your company building that burned down more than two weeks ago.’‘I know.’ I would have been on a rampage since yesterday if I couldn’t control my emotions. ‘I have to admit that they’re very good at hiding themselves. Plus, our pack has a large territory.’I left the search for the perpetrators to the warriors from the elite and spy teams because they knew better how to find them. I didn't want to interfere, which would only trouble them.I gave my full trust to them and revealed some suspicious names, most likely one of them being the mastermind behind the misfortune I experienced.However, based on the warning paper I received and my rogue assassin subordinate, who was also hit by a poison bullet, we narrowed it down to one name.I discussed the suspected perpetrators with my subordin
