At night in the Manowi kingdom, Victor couldn't find Brandon. He was worried about the Alpha. Victor did not smell any Alpha in their pack territory. Fearing an attack from outside that they didn't know about, Victor immediately asked the guards guarding his pack.
"Have you seen Brandon?" Victor asked the soldier standing guard in front of their pack's gate."Alpha is out, Beta. After Moon Goddes met him, Alpha left the castle on her command. Moon Goddes said that only tonight can Alpha find Rachel," one of the soldiers replied."Why tonight?" asked Victor."Moon Goddes said because it is the night of the full moon.""But, the border guards say that Alpha is outside our territory, but they dare not chase him away," said the soldier guarding the group gate."Was there no information about the attack from the border guards?" Victor asked again.The guard shook his head. "Nothing, Beta. Everything is safe."Victor nodded his head, he knew what happened to Brandon was not a group problem, but a personal one. Obviously he didn't dare send a few guards to search for their Alpha's whereabouts."Do I have to look for Brandon's whereabouts? What if he gets hurt?" Victor's mind raced, he desperately wanted to find the whereabouts of his Alpha, but if he left then his pack would have no one to look after him. Finally he decided to wait for Brandon until tomorrow morning, if the Alpha had not returned then he would have to look for him.Brandon arrived at a dark cave. But when he entered the cave, he was surprised to find a woman holding a baby while trying to calm the baby.Brandon was shocked. He slowly began to look at the woman in front of him and saw the face he had been looking for. The woman he couldn't live without thinking about how to bring back, but now he had found her.Brandon had managed to see the face of the woman he had been missing, or rather the face he had been hoping to see again."Rachel? Is that really you?" Brandon asked. The woman he saw was Rachel, the woman that many people were looking for.Still unable to believe what he was seeing, Brandon approached Rachel who was limply sleeping with a baby in her arms. He could see that the baby was still bleeding, indicating that Rachel had just given birth.Seeing the struggles of the woman in front of him instantly brought tears to Brandon's eyes, albeit only a few. The guilt he felt was so great that he had to be able to bring Rachel back to his group.The baby who had been silent suddenly cried when he felt Brandon's presence, suddenly it made Rachel who was sleeping immediately wake up because she heard the sound of crying from her baby."What's wrong with you, My baby?" asked Rachel, who had not yet realized Brandon's presence behind her. However, instead of stopping the crying of the baby beside Rachel, the crying sound became louder, making the woman even more confused."Can I hold my baby, Rachel?" Brandon's voice made Rachel immediately turn her head with a surprised look, she did not expect that the man behind her had managed to find her."Why are you here? Get out of here and leave me and my baby alone!" Rachel's hysterical screams made Brandon immediately hug the woman in front of him to calm her down, but instead of calming her down, Brandon made Rachel even more hysterical."Calm down, I won't hurt you, Rachel. I apologize for the mistakes I've made." Brandon was still trying to keep Rachel calm."You're a bad person who only used me as a breeder! You were going to take my baby! Then you're going to kill me!" Rachel shouted."No! I won't take our baby and separate her from you, Rachel. I apologize for what I said a few months ago. I'm not going to kill you!" Brandon said. But his words meant nothing to Rachel. Rachel was still staring at Brandon with a disappointed look."You're evil! You made me suffer like this, Brandon! You're a cruel Alpha!" Rachel cursed."That's enough, Rachel! I may have broken your heart, but please come back to my pack, because you're in danger and I can't let my mate be in danger." Brandon planned to take Rachel back and claim her as his soulmate."To hell with all that! I'm not going back to that pack and all that stuff about you that I hate so much, Brandon! Get out of my life and leave us alone.""Rachel, you are my mate. You'd better come with me and I'll fix all the wrongs I've done to you. We will live happily," Brandon said, still trying to persuade Rachel.Sweet words might make other women think, but not Rachel, she still refused to be Brandon's partner."I refuse to be your soul mate. I don't want you to separate me from my own child. You are a heartless person, Brandon. Yes, you are a heartless creature who steals other people's happiness! You are also a murderer!""I'm sorry, Rachel...give me a chance. Ever since you left the palace, I realized how stupid I was. I realized that I loved you," Brandon said pleadingly."I've been missing you for nine months!" he continued."No! You're a liar!" said Rachel.Rachel's rejection was something Brandon had to accept, but he didn't give up. He still had to persuade Rachel again."What else do I have to do to make you believe that I won't repeat the same mistake, Rachel? Tell me what I have to do?""I told you that I don't want to! Do you know what I said? You're heartless, you should understand what I'm saying!" Rachel was getting angry."But I've said everything, I've promised not to hurt you or even our baby. Please give me one chance to prove that you mean a lot to me, Rachel."Rachel burst out laughing. "Do I really matter to you or to your pack? You really are very cunning, Brandon. You even managed to manipulate me so easily that I never wanted to come back to you!""Yes, I was stupid back then. But now I'm very aware of what I did. I'm sorry for hurting you, Sweety. So forgive me please!"However, for Rachel, Brandon's mistake had gone too far and made her the most miserable woman in the world. Rachel was still afraid that Brandon would kill her.Then, suddenly a man who entered the cave approached Brandon and Rachel who were arguing."Kennedy?" Rachel said the man's name quietly and with a surprised look on her face."Why are you here?" Brandon asked Kennedy harshly. He just remembered that this man was the Alpha for Pack Leinz, and he was also competing to find Rachel."I smell my soul mate here, and it's Rachel's scent." Kennedy replied.Brandon was very surprised, "WHAT? What did you say?!"Brandon widened his eyes at Kennedy's words.What did he say? His soul mate? Was this man bragging?For a moment, silence crept over the cave. Brandon stared at Kennedy in disbelief, while the man looked lovingly at Rachel.Rachel held her baby with overlapping feelings, feeling surprised by Kennedy's statement."Rachel, I know you feel the same way. You may be surprised by this claim, but I'm telling you the truth." Kennedy spoke again in such a soft voice, persuading Rachel who was at a crossroads.Rachel hated Brandon for what he did. He had only used her and intended to kill her.Brandon never loved her, when Rachel thought he was her soulmate.Now, Kennedy comes with a shocking claim on her.Rachel stared at Kennedy with her hazel irises clouded with indecision. Then, Kennedy extended her hand."Your real mate is me, darling. You may still be surprised, but eventually I'm sure you'll realize everything."Kennedy's words felt like a tranquilizer in the ears of Rachel who had been
Victor quickly carried Brandon out of the cave after realizing that the Alpha needed serious treatment.Victor carried Brandon on his back, then made his way carefully through the forest. He could not be spotted by the other Alphas and had to carry Brandon secretly to the palace.If they were spotted by the other packs, then big trouble would ensue. They could not know that the Alpha was in a weakened state, or they would easily shake the Manowi Pack. The opposition will seize the opportunity to destroy them from all sides.The leader is the foundation of everything.If the leader is weak, then Pack Manowi's defenses are also weakened. During this time, Brandon was the one who organized everything.Victor knew that the Alphas of the other packs hated Pack Manowi. They were just trying to hide that hatred for fear of Alpha Brandon. Brandon's cruelty and power could not be defeated. For years, the King Alpha was the strongest of the other Alphas.Not only did they hate, but they were al
Twelve o'clock at night.The full moon moved higher and the air dropped dramatically. Rachel lay still on her bed, her gaze fixed on the window that showed the side view of the palace. The roses seemed to sway lightly in the wind.Rachel could not sleep.The baby was fast asleep in the bassinet, but she couldn't close her eyes for a minute. Something was nagging at the back of her mind, and she didn't know what.After the celebration party at Pack Leinz was over, Kennedy said goodbye to patrol the neighborhood. He told Rachel to rest, but she wasn't sleepy at all.She felt uncomfortable and restless. Something was wrong. But what?Rachel finally got out of bed. Hesitating, she walked to the door and opened it. Her irises looked along the very dark and deserted hallway.Was everyone asleep?Kennedy had taken her around the palace and shown her many places. And now, her mind was on the backyard of the palace. Could she go there?Maybe she could get some fresh air for a while.Rachel was
"Are you still thinking about what happened before?"Kennedy approached Rachel who was standing in front of the mirror. He had just finished cleaning himself and changed the clothes. But when she wanted to sleep, Kennedy found Rachel daydreaming.Gently, Kennedy took the woman's body into his arms. Rachel flinched somewhat at the sudden movement, but then relaxed as Kennedy's large hand stroked her head."I know you're still in shock from what happened, but from now on, can you put your trust in me?" Kennedy murmured above Rachel's head.Rachel was silent for a long time, feeling confused with herself. But who else could she trust if not Kennedy? Who could help her and her baby?No one, not even her own biological father.The only choice she had was Kennedy.And once again, the man proved that he could protect Rachel."I promise to protect you and your baby," Kennedy continued when Rachel didn't speak.To be honest, Kennedy was feeling anxious right now. There were a lot of bad things
Fall had arrived.A season where her father sold her to King Alpha Brandon. The season of their big wedding.Back then, Rachel thought her miserable life had changed. When she saw the burning love in Brandon's eyes, she thought she had found her true mate.She was so naive.She was so stupid that she didn't realize Brandon's foul intentions to kill her. If she hadn't known that, would she not be able to see her baby now?Perhaps she had become a corpse, while her baby lived in agony with the cruel Brandon. 'No', she thought gloomily. Why was she thinking about that incident again?Rachel sighed and rested her head against the cold window. She tried to calm herself down, and after a while, she decided to organize her dresses.Time seemed to pass quickly that morning.As lunch progressed, Kennedy appeared and again engaged Rachel in a discussion about Alpha Brandon.Their conversation that morning wafted away like a passing autumn breeze, as Rachel still felt confused.However, Kennedy,
After the approval Rachel took from their discussion, Kennedy did not delay in starting to train the woman.First of all, they learned to process Rachel's emotions so that she wouldn't be so easily affected by Brandon again."Imagine Brandon is in your head and you are talking to him directly." Kennedy instructed from a distance, while Rachel stood right in the middle of the meadow.It was not far from the palace, one of the Alpha's private fields.Rachel stood right in the middle of the meadow surrounded by giant redwood trees. The leaves were dense and formed a canopy-protecting them from the harsh midday sun.Rachel would begin to try to control her emotions so that she could focus when she faced Brandon.Brandon was the strongest King Alpha with intuition and strength unlike any other alpha. So far, no alpha from their federation had managed to defeat the man, so what Rachel and Kennedy were about to do would not be easy.Rachel began to follow Kennedy's instructions and closed he
The news of the death penalty that Guezz received has spread widely to other packs.The news spread like a fire that burns firewood, because this is the first time Pack Manowi has held a death penalty since 1000 years of existence.There were many rumors circulating, but one thing was certain, they only focused on discussing Brandon's cruelty without looking for clear reasons behind his actions.Talk of how cruel Brandon had been to kill a 'defenseless omega' became the main topic. Everyone who spread the news kept adding spice to make the story sound more interesting. Until then, the news reached the ears of the residents of Pack Leinz.'Guezz was sentenced to death by Brandon for defending his daughter who escaped from Alpha Brandon's cruelty'.Rachel, who had been practicing, became unfocused when she heard the news. Her whole body was trembling and she would have fallen backwards, if Kennedy hadn't hurriedly restrained her."Are you okay, dear?" asked Kennedy worriedly.Rachel sho
"How is it now? Were you able to hit the target board perfectly without missing a beat?"Rachel looked at the arrow in her hand, then at Kennedy who was carrying the hunted fox. They had been practicing non-stop for a week, and the last part was to make sure Rachel could hit the bull's-eye. She was getting more and more excited about practicing, especially since her power control was already qualified to fight Brandon."Yes, I'm sure I can do it," Rachel said.Kennedy grinned happily, then hung the dead fox in her hands from one of the trees. It was very far and high from Rachel's position."If you can hit that fox in the eye, then your training is complete." Kennedy moved away from the target tree and nodded at the woman.Rachel suddenly felt nervous, considering this was her first time shooting at a living creature. Usually only target boards or fruits."Come on darling, prove your ability to kill that vile bastard named Brandon." Kennedy deliberately turned up the heat at Rachel's
