LOGINAlpha Kingsley POVAfter everyone left, I turned toward the elders beside me, who were all watching curiously, wondering why I had asked them to remain behind.“Alpha,” one of the elders bowed slightly. “Do you have any news to share with us?” he asked.The others nodded in agreement.I remained silent for a moment, carefully observing each of them.Their expressions.Their reactions.Their emotions.Although Darius had been caught, I still felt that this matter was far from over.Darius was a powerful warrior, but I didn’t believe he was capable of orchestrating everything alone.Someone else had to be involved.Someone with authority.Someone with influence.Someone capable of manipulating events from the shadows while remaining hidden.Darius was merely a pawn.A disposable piece.The kind sacrificed to protect the real mastermind.Or perhaps to distract me from finding the true culprit.“Nothing for now,” I finally replied. “But we need to tighten security and increase border patr
Alpha Kingsley POVI walked slowly toward where Darius had been surrounded.The guards tightened their formation around him, their weapons drawn and their expressions cold.Darius remained frozen under my Alpha Command, unable to move despite desperately trying.Fear was written all over his face.Raw.Undisguised.“Who are you working with?” I asked, my aura pressing heavily upon him.The pressure in the hall instantly increased.Several people unconsciously lowered their heads.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he denied.“Are you sure about that?” I smirked.The sight of my smile only made him paler.“You know, there are two things about traitors,” I spoke softly, yet my voice carried clearly throughout the hall.“I hate the fact that they are shameless rats hiding in the dark.”A cold silence settled over everyone.“But more importantly, I like the fact that after infiltrating my pack, they usually know some of my methods.”My smirk turned darker.More suffocating.“And th
Alpha Kingsley POVThe sensation disappeared immediately.Leaving only confusion behind.“Olivia…” I whispered softly.This was the first time I had felt the mate bond ever since she disappeared over the cliff.And Argon had spoken again.Much to my relief.His silence these past few days had been unsettling and uncomfortable to bear.I immediately tried calling out to him.“Argon?”But there was only silence.No response.No growl.Nothing.I frowned slightly before exhaling deeply.There was nothing I could do for now.At least I knew he was still there.Thank the Moon Goddess, Argon was fine even if he was shutting me out.And as for Olivia…Whether she was alive or dead…I needed to find out.Fast.I walked out of the Grand Hall and headed toward the northern border, the guard who had brought the report trailing behind me alongside Andrew.When I arrived, I waited briefly for the others to catch up.Soon Andrew arrived together with several guards.“Where was the body found?” I as
Alpha Kingsley POVI buried myself in the pack’s paperwork, trying to distract myself from thinking about Olivia and everything that had happened.Yet no matter how much work I forced myself to focus on, the image of her face refused to leave my mind.Those hollow eyes.That defeated look.The way she stared at me when the guards dragged her away.There was no anger.No hatred.No pleading.Nothing.It was as if something inside her had completely died.At that time, I thought she would recover.I thought after the Sacred Feast I would explain everything.Find a way to make things right.Yet now…Everything was too late.Far too late.A bitter smile appeared on my face.What use was regret now?What use were explanations when the person meant to hear them was gone?I just prayed that I would find answers in Medusa Valley.A pity that the poisonous mist surrounding the valley would only clear in a week’s time, and up till now, the Grade One Poison Repellent Potion had not been found.I
Olivia’s POVTurning to Karl, I showed it to him, and he nodded at me.“I think I will keep the armor and the scepter here for now since I don’t need them right now. Besides, the scepter is not a weapon, and I can’t train with it,” I said to Karl.He smiled and chuckled softly.“Hold the scepter firmly and think of it as a sword,” he instructed.I looked at him in confusion but closed my eyes and did as he said. I imagined the scepter in my hands as a sword, and immediately it glowed slightly and changed before my very eyes into a silver sword.I almost dropped it in shock and fear, but Karl only smiled at my naïve expression.“The Silver Moon Scepter is said to be a divine weapon once wielded by the Moon Goddess herself. It can change into any form or weapon the holder of the Sacred Moon Bloodline desires,” he explained.“This is the Myriad Divine Scepter from the legends?” I asked in shock, remembering an ancient text I had once read back in the pack.“Yeah,” he nodded, much to my s
Olivia’s POV“Now that the confirmation has been completed, we need to move on to the next thing.”“The opening of the Secret Vault,” one of the Moon Guardians spoke excitedly.“Secret Vault…” I muttered, remembering Karl’s earlier words.“Are you ready?” Karl asked, staring intently at me.I nodded in agreement, and he immediately turned and led the way while I followed behind. We walked deeper into the hall, passing through a narrow passage that stretched farther than I initially expected. The deeper we went, the quieter it became until we finally arrived before what appeared to be a dead end.A solid stone wall stood before us.I looked around curiously, wondering where we were supposed to go next and was about to ask when Karl suddenly reached out and touched a particular spot on the wall. A low rumbling sound echoed through the passage as the stone wall slowly shifted aside, revealing a staircase leading underground.I was genuinely surprised by the setup. No one would ever imagi
Not again, I screamed inside my head.I had already braced myself to fall hard and probably injure some part of my body. I was even in a dilemma, trying to decide which part would suffer the most — my back, my arm, my neck, or worse, my head.But instead, I fell into something solid.A beating hear
Olivia POV I stood there, dumbfounded and confused by his sudden disappearance.It had happened so quickly.One moment he was standing right in front of me, and the next moment he was gone.Vanished.So fast that I hadn’t even been able to catch a glimpse of his figure.My heart began to beat fast
Olivia POV “Seems like someone is hungry,” he said.My face burned even redder as I lowered my head in embarrassment.I hadn’t even had time to finish breakfast before we left the pack, and now it was already evening. No wonder my stomach was protesting loudly.The town around us was buzzing with
Olivia POV Alpha Kingsley woke me from my slumber when the carriage finally stopped in a small unfamiliar town.I didn’t even know when I had fallen asleep.Perhaps it was the exhaustion from the long journey.Or perhaps it was the intense… moment we shared earlier in the carriage.Just thinking a
