It’s that time of the year when the alpha of the most powerful pack of werewolves is supposed to find a mate. Every unmated female werewolf within the age of eighteen to twenty-five is welcome to Jupiter Pack for a mating ball where Alpha Adam will find his mate and future luna. *** Irene Gray (recently rejected female) is a little silly, foolish omega. She finds herself attending the mating ball at Jupiter Pack after a series of mishaps and wrong decisions. Adam Aldrin (the cursed alpha of the strongest werewolf pack) is a loner, a stickler for rules, and has no intention of ever getting mated. He finds out his fated mate is an omega who embodies everything he dislikes. With Jupiter Pack turning into something else as vicious creatures are mysteriously spawned and running rampant on a killing spree, Irene and Adam are given no choice but to stay together as they hold the key to solving the mystery behind the mysterious creatures and breaking Adam’s curse. What’s a couple so unlike supposed to do when they’re stuck together? You just have to read and find out!

Irene, who had been cooking up dinner in the small kitchen of their cozy one-room apartment, heard those words from her mate as she lifted her head to welcome him home. “Excuse me?” she said in confusion, her brows furrowed. Desmond, a guy who was about a hundred and eighty centimeters tall with a buzzcut and a good-looking face, was Irene’s mate for three years and counting. She knew very well that he was not the kind of guy who dallied in making jokes. “I don’t want you as my mate anymore.” Desmond clarified. Irene snorted in amusement as she turned off the cooker and wiped her hands clean with a rag. Then she stepped out of the kitchen aisle and walked over to Desmond, wrapping her arms around his waist without a care. “It’s too late for jokes, darling. Dinner is ready. I’ll set your dish, okay?” She looked up at him smiling, dismissing his words. Desmond did not return her smile. His dark brown eyes were drawn into narrow slits as he stared at her with a somber expression. “Are you so foolish that you can’t comprehend simple words anymore? I said I don’t want you anymore. I want to reject you!” he snapped seriously. Irene’s hands dropped from his waist, the cheerful expression she wore on her face crumbled. She took a step backwards, her shoulders trembling. The apartment that was always warm suddenly became inexplicably chilly. “Desmond, what do you mean you want to reject me? We’re m-mates.” Irene’s voice faltered as tears gathered in her eyes without notice. Desmond frowned. “This thing we have isn’t working out for me. It feels like you’re my daughter instead of my lover. You’re so dumb that I have to teach you everything about everything. I’m done acting like your parent.” Desmond’s sharp words drove a knife into Irene’s heart. Her hands began to shake uncontrollably. A daughter instead of a lover? Yes, she was stupid. But she tried her best. She tried to be smart for him. She tried to follow his pace. Had things been so hard for him all this while? “I’m sorry. I’ll be better. I’ll do better. I promise.” Irene said robotically as her gaze fell to the neat tiled floor. She was fully ready to accept her shortcomings if that would remedy the situation. “Can you compare to this?” Desmond asked. Irene lifted her head and saw him taking out something from his jacket. It was a cream white envelope encrusted in golden markings. He quickly opened it in front of her and removed a card. Desmond held the card over Irene’s face for her to read the content. [Congratulations! You have been invited to partake in the upcoming mating ball at Jupiter Pack as a plus one VIP guest!] Those were the only words Irene was able to read before Desmond snatched the card away and put it back in the envelope. It took a moment for Irene to process what she just read. That was an invitation to the mating ball of the season where the current Alpha of the strongest pack, Jupiter Pack, would find his mate. It was a gathering of eligible werewolves to find their mates as well. People in their pack, Pluto Pack, didn’t bother with such things as they usually stuck to the traditional way of doing things—waiting on fate to bring mates together. So how was Desmond able to get his hands on such an invitation? And what was he going to use it for? “I see you’re already confused,” Desmond sneered as he read the perplexed look on Irene’s face. “I’m going to find a better mate at the mating ball.” “What…?” “Do you want to ruin my life with your flaws? Do you think I can survive with a mate who can’t do shit for me? I believe I’ve helped you enough. When we first met, you were barely living. Look at yourself now.” Desmond pointed at her. Irene did as he said, staring down at her body. She had an average figure and was wearing clean clothes. If she could remember properly, before she met Desmond, she was as thin as a stick and miserable to the core. He’d changed her entire life. And she was eternally grateful towards him, always doing her best to make up for her numerous flaws. “It’s time for us to go our separate ways. So accept my rejection without making a fuss.” Desmond said straightforwardly. Irene shook her head repeatedly, already refusing when Desmond hadn’t even rejected her yet. How could she accept his rejection? They were fated mates who were destined to be with each other; created solely for each other. Rejection was such a cruel concept. Separating from the person that was molded just for you. It was ruthless. Irene’s eyes turned glassy as she opened her mouth to ask Desmond why. But the word didn’t come out of her mouth. She had never been able to speak out the things she felt in her heart. Never been able to express herself properly. What did an illiterate like her know about emotional intelligence? That was why she could only shake her head in refusal as the love of her life rejected her. “I, Desmond Keller, reject you, Irene Gray, as my mate. Do you accept the rejection?” Irene shook her head negatively as a tear streamed down her left cheek. “I ask again—do you accept the rejection?” ‘No’ was on the tip of Irene’s tongue but as Desmond grabbed her right forearm and pushed her body up against his own in a terrifying manner, Irene lost the will to defy him. “Do you accept the rejection?” Desmond asked for the third time with a menacing tone. His eyes seemed to say, ‘Tell me no, I dare you.’ Irene was terrified out of her mind by that single gaze. She had never seen such a threatening look in his eyes before. She didn’t want to dare Desmond and get him angry. So she relented. “I… accept.” Her voice was low, but the words were effective. Irene heard and felt a snap within her. Like a tight rope wound around her body had just snapped in half. As an omega and the lower class between the two of them (Desmond being a gamma), she would be the one to feel the brunt of the rejection. Irene felt like her chest was aflame with her entire body shrouded in melting ice. Her legs gave out without notice, and she crashed on the floor. Desmond neither attempted to help her get back to her feet nor did he try to comfort her from the pain that he had induced. He only watched Irene with a detached expression, as though what she was going through had nothing to do with him. Irene gasped for air, grabbing onto one leg of Desmond’s trousers with her other hand pressing down on her chest. “Help me… hah. Please! Help me!” she begged, unable to bear the intense pain inside her body as her human soul moved to engulf and comfort her wolf soul that had been disconnected from its other half. It was painful. Excruciatingly so. “You’ll be fine.” Desmond said without emotion as he looked at her. Then he shook Irene’s hand off his leg and stepped away from her. “You can stay here. After the mating ball, find some place else to live. I’m giving you this grace. Have a good life, Irene.” Desmond said, sparing Irene a last glance before he walked out on her. Irene heard the sound of Desmond going out through the front door but she couldn’t get her body to act. She laid helplessly on the floor, wishing that the pain she was experiencing killed her as she couldn’t see herself living without Desmond. However, her wish was not granted.Adam was as straightforward as ever, cutting right to the chase.“I told you. I went there because I was worried about Aria.” Irene replied after a beat of gathering her thoughts. But her voice didn’t come out as composed as she wanted it to.“And you went there intending to do what with your worry?”There was no hint of care in Adam’s face. He didn’t actually look curious about her actions. He might have been, but Irene couldn’t read Adam.He was always a blank board to her.Irene’s gut twisted. Her initial plan was to use her spells against whatsoever Aria was facing. But on second thought now, how could she have been so reckless?What exactly had come over her to make her think that she could go to the border, perform a few spells against the mysterious creatures, and save the day?Irene, herself, knew that she wasn’t the sharpest tool in the box. But she also knew that she was exactly so reckless and foolish. So what then had come over her and possessed her to head straight to an
Of course, Irene kept her question to herself since it was clear as day that no one was going to grant her a proper answer.She was forced to ride back in a shared car with Atlas to Adam’s mansion. All through the journey, Atlas kept on threatening and sneering at her, like she was in some deep trouble that would lead to her doom.Irene was already well aware of the fact that she was in trouble, she didn’t need Atlas rubbing it all over her face.A journey that was supposed to be long ended up being short because of Irene’s overthinking and false perception of the distance.As soon as the car stopped, Atlas basically pushed Irene out of it and held onto her tight once again, restraining her from escaping him.No one interceded for her as they watched Atlas drag her into the mansion with a manic look in his eyes.“Can you stop pulling me!? I’m already moving, chill out a bit!” Irene demanded as Atlas was about to pull her up the staircase that led to Adam’s study.“Heh. Like you have a
There were five wolves surrounding Irene. As they shifted into their human forms, the one in the middle stepped forward.His eyes were a familiar shade of cyan blue and his hair was jet black. He had young features so she could guess that he was either eighteen or nineteen.He bore a resemblance to two people who Irene knew. She was trying to remember who those two people were when the boy marched over to her, grabbed her arm aggressively, and yanked her up from the ground.“What the fuck are you doing here? And who are you??” he spat out rudely.Irene, who was still dealing with the aftermath of the shock the monster wolf gave to her, was too disoriented to understand or respond to the boy.Because of this, he tightened his grip on her arm, evoking an ‘ow’ from Irene.“Stop, let go of me,” she demanded, trying to rip her arm off his grip as she gained slight composure.“Are you one of them?? Did you do this??” The boy shook Irene roughly, referring to the dead wolves in the clearing.
There was a dim half moon hanging in the sky tonight. The stars were so few that they could be regarded and counted as a handful. The surroundings were dark. So dark that it could frighten anyone into hiding away from it.But Irene was headstrong as she ran into the night in her wolf form.A small wolf with dark brown fur that chased after the night. Her eyes were glowing with an unnatural shade of blue. A pretty wolf she was, but her short legs made her running look a bit funny.Though fast, she couldn’t be compared to top breed wolves. Such a thing didn’t stop Irene from racing through the dark forest like she was being chased after.After a while, her nose picked up a distinct scent. It was the smell of blood. Her pupils dilated and she slowly shifted into her human form to scout the area.Claws shrinking inside, fur shedding off, fangs reducing in length. Irene followed the smell of blood and found herself in an area where there were countless bodies of dead wolves.All their corp
Irene veered back after processing Matthew’s response, heavily offended.“What do you mean none of my business? I was just asking a question because I’m worried about Aria. Must you be so rude about it?” Irene vented, baring out her true thoughts.It wasn’t all the time that she could keep quiet and swallow down Matthew’s rudeness. At least not this time when she was super curious.“There’s nothing rude about telling you to mind your own business,” Matthew retorted.Irene narrowed her eyes at Matthew. She wanted to threaten him, but there was nothing to threaten him with. And she was not in the slightest bit intimidating. Even her glare looked like stupid squinting to Matthew.She ended up being ignored by him and taken back to her room after her meal. But she wasn’t satisfied. She kept on recalling the panicked expressions on the soldiers’ faces as they complained to Aria that they needed her help.The serious tone Aria had used to speak. All of it was driving Irene mad with curiosit
Irene couldn’t do this anymore. She couldn’t live in Jupiter Pack anymore. It was all too much!After the conversation she had with Aria the other day, she was assigned classes to attend. To keep up appearances as instructed by Adam, she had gone along with it.Only for Irene to realize that she was being tortured. Mentally and physically. Why the hell did she have to study how to settle accounts and do money math? That wasn’t even the worst part.This. This moment as her back was against the hot sand with sweat glistening her body, glaring at the bright sun in a daze was the worst part.She had to learn basic combat moves which were not as basic as the name entailed.“Come on! Get up, Irene! You can do it!” Irene heard someone cheer her on.‘No, I can’t do it!’ Irene thought.She turned her neck and saw Aria standing under a shed at a distance with Matthew by her side. Aria was clapping and urging her to get back to her feet.As for Matthew, his expression depicted complete nonchala
