The sun had risen. I stood on the balcony to enjoy the warm sunlight. My gaze was fixed below, watching hundreds of warriors who were preparing to do morning exercises in the front yard of the warrior camp.With a quick movement, I jumped from the balcony and landed in a crouching position with one hand on the ground. Then I walked out of the house.The warrior camp was next to my house. A two-meter-high boundary wall surrounded the warrior camp, and all along the top of the wall were twenty-centimeter-high sharp iron bars with no gaps, preventing intruders from entering the place.I joined the hundreds of warriors to run around the pack. I ran at the very back.I routinely run in the morning. My body would hurt if I didn't do it.Usually, Duncan, Elijah, or Franky will join me in running. I had no idea if they were late or if they were doing other sports.I saw the pack members who were already busy with their work. They bowed to me when they realized I was looking at them, and some
Auretta’s POVI stood next to the glass door leading to the pool with my gaze fixed on the chair.I remembered Alpha Andrew, who emotionally accused me of betraying him, but my heart was not broken; what I felt now was burning anger.I took a deep breath before taking a step forward.I carried Alaric, who had just drunk milk, to sit with me by the pool. I put him on my lap.Honestly, I didn’t expect Alpha Andrew to ask me to bring Alaric to this place. He remembered my habit of bringing Alaric to sunbathe.The fall wind was cool. I put a gray jacket on Alaric. Although the werewolf's body temperature was hot and we wouldn't get sick from the cold, that wasn't the case for babies.Alaric stared at me deeply as if he wanted to tell me something. I swear his gaze was the same as when he looked at me before.I was relieved if Alaric recognized me as his mother; perhaps he remembered my body temperature because my face, eyes, and hair were so different from my old self. I even lost a few p
“It seems that Alpha will bring thousands of his warrior troops to attack the enemy pack.”"I think so too. Alpha attacks the enemy every month except during the summer, but Alpha will not attack it if it is not very important or in an emergency."I listened to the two omegas who were talking about their Alpha. We were in the bathroom.I had just finished taking a shower and was wearing my nanny uniform.I had no idea what the Alpha rogue assassin did to make the nanny academy school willing to issue a certificate stating that I was their student who graduated last year and had worked for a year in a rich man's house in the Black Sea Pack.The Alpha rogue assassin created a fake identity, stating that I came from the River Cube Pack. I was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. I then decided to go to school at the nanny academy located on the border of the River Pack Clan and the Mountain Pack Clan.I shuddered in horror if, one day, Alpha Andrew found out all the documents about me
Andrew’s POVThe war ended an hour ago. I had swapped bodies with my wolf. Thousands of my warriors had returned to the pack, and only ten warriors were left to guard me.Usually, I would have returned to the pack immediately, but I didn’t that day; I accepted Alpha Lucas’ invitation to chat in his office. He gave me a bottle of wine and a glass with a big smile.We sat across from each other on the couch. His smile was so annoying. I wanted to strangle him.‘I regret not being able to kill his wolf, but yeah, at least he was badly injured,’ my wolf said proudly.Alpha Lucas’ wolf was indeed injured, and when they swapped bodies, some of the wounds were still on Alpha Lucas’ body, making him wince and complain about his body regeneration, which was working slowly.Alpha Lucas used to be a Beta. Even though he had become an Alpha, his body regeneration and strength did not increase. The Moon Goddess seemed only to allow him to hold the Alpha title. He knew that he would never be able
The beautiful sky and the chirping of birds that appeared perched on my house's roof served as the morning background.I had finished my morning exercise and breakfast. I saw Rebecca carrying Alaric through the dining room to the pool. I was interested to see them.Two minutes after Tabitha left me because she had an appointment with her friends to spend the whole day together, I strengthened my determination to stand at the glass door to the pool.I didn't want to make Rebecca misunderstand. I wasn't watching her. I just wanted to see Alaric, who was very calm while he was with his nanny. They had only been together for five days, but they looked like they had known each other for a long time.Alaric’s calm demeanor reminded me of my late ex-mate. Alaric would only cry when he was thirsty.I smiled faintly as I remembered my late ex- mate’s annoyed face every time I made Alaric cry. I could never hold him properly, and he would always cry every time I wanted to keep him.“My annoying
Auretta’s POVThe growls and howls of the warrior wolves were clearly heard in my ears.Alaric was used to the terrifying sounds because he had slept in this room since birth.Every Alpha’s house must be next to the warrior camp. That wasn’t actually a rule that all packs had to obey. I didn't know who first had the idea.I think an Alpha’s house should be next to the warrior camp, making it easier for the Alphas to coordinate the warriors.I’ve never heard of an Alpha’s house far from the warrior camp. My pack, which had a small territory, built a home for the alpha next to the warrior camp.I took a deep breath. I missed my pack. I couldn’t wait to meet Beta Caleb.How could I get out of this house to meet him?The Alpha rogue assassin was right. I should have refused to sleep in Alaric's room. At that time, I was so happy to sleep with him, but I didn't think it would hinder my movements.Look now, I was so dizzy thinking about how to leave this room at night.I glanced at the CCTV
What did Alpha Andrew really want? I was sure he regretted not rejecting me when we first met.He and his tens of thousands of warriors could destroy my pack then. They could kill everyone. My wolf wasn't even sure she could win against him.Why did he accept me then if he loved his cousin so much? They still love each other even now. I was never in his heart.I started to believe my wolf's opinion. Alpha Andrew accepted me then because he thought he could control my pack, but in reality, I refused to hand over my pack under his leadership.Then Alpha Andrew devised a scheme to destroy me because I had gotten in his way. He made the incorrect accusation. Then, he pushed Warrior Johan to carry out his plan.The proof was that he did not punish Warrior Johan severely, but he killed me by paying the rogue assassins.I kept thinking about the conspiracy theory created by my wolf, and over time, I thought it made sense.If Alpha Andrew was really the mastermind behind the fake news, he was
Andrew’s POV"Mark my words." Beta Caleb glared at me, his hands clenched, his cheeks flushed, and his jaw clenched. His breath was ragged from the turmoil in his chest.“You can get my elders to accept you as their leader until Alaric is ready to become Alpha, but you will never be able to use my warrior army to help you achieve your goal of exterminating your enemies!” Beta Caleb said firmly. There was no fear of me in his eyes.“The windows and warriors are on my side, and they will not betray me.” Beta Caleb said arrogantly. “You rejected our Alpha and caused our Alpha to die. How can we trust you even though you are the father of our future Alpha?”His words were like a sharp iron ball hitting my body until my heart ached so much. I had to hold onto the edge of the table to stay standing.“No one trusts you in my pack.” Beta Caleb smiled proudly. “The elders will be unable to make us forgive you or accept you as our interim leader.” He shook his head.“I thank you for sending ten
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
