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
The arrow shot straight into Brandon's back.Rachel's smile automatically grew, but then faded as the arrow bounced off. Her eyes widened in shock as she realized that the man was wearing armor under his cloak.The man turned his head quickly. His sharp eyes seemed to glow in the darkness. Rachel's shock grew when she saw the man's face.He was not Brandon, but Victor.She was wrong. She had made a big mistake!Rachel only focused on the man's broad back, which reminded her of Brandon's posture. Brandon always wore thick, wide robes, and now, she was mistaken just because Victor was wearing similar clothes.'Fool!'Rachel cursed herself and took a lightning-fast step back. Unfortunately, Victor who had seen her presence did not stay still.The man turned into a wolf and Rachel ran with all her might. Her heart was beating like a gong as she jumped over a tall rose bush."Stop right there! I said stop!"Rachel jumped towards the palace wall, but instead of making it out, her body felt
"Alpha Brandon? What do you mean by stop? This woman is a traitor!"Beta Victor gave his Alpha a questioning look. He didn't understand why Brandon still felt sorry for Rachel who had hurt him.He had seen how Brandon suffered for months, just to find Rachel's whereabouts. Then after being cruelly rejected, he still wanted her?Victor certainly didn't understand how Brandon felt about Rachel. But as Brandon's loyal Beta, he didn't want him to get caught up in Rachel's temptation again."Alpha...""Let me handle everything, Victor," Brandon said with his gaze not leaving Rachel's face. He didn't look at Victor at all and motioned the man to leave with his hand.Victor had no choice but to nod, although he still couldn't get over what Brandon was doing."Sweety." Brandon approached slowly, his eyes tracing Rachel's disheveled appearance, then stopping at her wounded stomach."DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!" Rachel roared. Her eyes blazed with anger, causing Brandon to stop in his tracks. The lo
