Laura's point of view: Having a second chance at life can be a gift, but not in my case. Wondering why? Well, it's all because of what I like to call nightmares. I'm always hunted by the huge wolf that saved me in my previous life. "I shall come back!" That exact promise haunts my dreams, and because of it, I started hating closing my eyes. I am afraid... I don't know who I am. Who was I? And what crimes did I commit in my previous life? Worse, Lady Mery is taking her turn alongside the gorgeous male to make my life a living hell. She still begged me to save her son. The thing is, I'm trying, but I don't know how. Both of them, they're not stepping back. Even the king, who's the father of both, refused to interfere, claiming that it's our nature. What nature is he talking about? Is he talking about animals? The thing is, he's no help or use to me. I can still do one last thing. I don't know if I'm doing it to save Alan or to satisfy my curiosity. The thing is, I'm sta
Laura's point of view:The arena was bigger than anything I had ever seen.It was huge, and I wondered if it was even possible for it to be filled by the audience. The one who came here was the fall of a prince and the rise of a new king.Thinking about it,I kind of wondered what the reason was behind the king giving up his throne.I mean, he was still young, just a couple of hundred years old. For humans, and even normal werewolves, that's too much of an age. But that's not the case for royalties.Royalties, known as the Lycans, are one of the strongest species of werewolves. They're gifted with the gift of immortality.This means that they don't die unless they get killed. Still, it's rare for them to live forever.The same thing keeps happening all over the royal family.A royal male can't stand other royals around him because royals can challenge each other for the crown.Of course, a challenge can only be resolved by the death of one of the males; the other takes the crown. It ev
Laura's point of view: The entire crowd, made up of alphas, betas, and other high-ranking wolves, stood unable to hide the look on their faces. Shocked, terrified, and amazed faces were all gasping, wondering what had just happened before their eyes. Not only were they surprised to see the wolf, but they were also kind of afraid. It's weird how almost all species share one thing in common, which is fearing the unknown. Guards quickly ran to surround us—the royalties—away from that unknown, huge beast. Little do they know! The beast was mine, and I was more than glad it existed. The beast, as they like to call it so far, looked at the very injured Alan, then moved toward him. I didn't stop him or try to interfere between them. Still, for a while, I thought that Alan would try to attack the beast if he didn't run away. The thing is, he seemed more relaxed around the wolf than around his brother. What happened next surprised me more than anyone else. The mighty wolf started licki
Laura's point of view: "Lycaon, the son of Pelasgus, angered Zeus when he served him a meal made from the remains of a sacrificed boy. As punishment, the enraged Zeus turned Lycaon and his sons into wolves." It's a famous story about the origins of werewolves. Yet, it is nothing more than a tale that grown-ups used to scare their children with. Still, a famous question exists. Who were the first werewolves? And who created them? When, and how? Well, I want to answer your questions. I want to quell the curiosity rising inside of you. The thing is... I can't. Just like you, I don't know what happened. That's why I'm burying myself in books while searching for each and every detail. I was about to give up when both Damien and Alan joined me. I felt sparks flowing all over my body as I was embraced by my mate. "How are you doing?" Damien asked while trailing kisses along my neck, making his way toward my lips. "Oh, God! Get a room to yourselves..." He acted like a child being em
Laura's point of view:I made my way towards it, grabbed the book, then decided to see if I could do it and opened it.As I didn't expect, it burst open."You see! I told you she can do it. Now let's read what's in there!" Alan couldn't hide how excited he was about the entire thing.Still, there was something he didn't know about it."Guys!" I tried to grab their attention, which wasn't that hard. "There's something I think you need to see.""Let me see!" Damien stole the book from between my hands, and then he noticed. "It's empty!""Yeah!" I exclaimed. "I mean, why all these spellings if there's nothing?"I asked my question randomly, not expecting what would happen next. The book shone, and through the lights, some writing showed up on the empty page that the book was opened on.'The spells are cast for a reason. There's some treasure in the room and it needs to be protected.'The sentence showing up on the pages seemed to be an exact answer to my question."Cool! Ask another quest
Laura's point of view:Hunters, it's all that's been on my mind lately...The book mentioned that they still exist, hidden among humans as normal human beings.The worst part is that they ended up looking, smelling, and acting like human beings.They're technically human beings, but stronger.Yes, they possess the power of a supernatural creature and the mage's knowledge.With both gifts, they were close to causing the extinction of our entire kind.What knowledge am I talking about? Well, it's a deadly type of knowledge. Exactly, the one that can allow a hunter to not only kill but also torture all supernatural creatures.I didn't find it appealing to believe when I first learned about it.The idea that human beings are stronger than supernatural creatures didn't appeal to my beliefs. The reason why I grew up in the entire world and stayed given.Still, the look growing on both Damien and Alan's faces grows doubts inside my heart.I mean, they gave me the expression that they knew som
Laura's point of view:"It was just a hug!"I tried to convince my stubborn mate to change the ugly look on his face as he was ignoring me.He's kind of jealous, and I don't see the reason why. I mean, I am Alan's sister, but not the way he is imagining.Yet, I believe that he's taking this far more seriously than it should be. I mean, he made me follow him for half the palace while trying to explain what happened. Yet, he is still acting this way."Would you like it if I just hugged Selene?" He spoke for the first time in about an hour, and now, I was the angry one."Now that's another thing... You can't compare both situations...""No, it's not." He interrupted me while I was speaking, and I decided to return the favor."It is! Selene and you shared a past... Meanwhile, Alan is your brother, which makes him feel like my brother, and he is through...""I care less about what he does. And don't you dare call him a brother. A real brother would never dare to stab the back of his brother
Laura's point of view:The flight went as quietly as it could be. No one spoke for hours, which was awkward.Anyway, the good part is that none of them tried to kill each other.When we landed, right near the airport, a black Mercedes was waiting for us, and a driver handed the car keys to Alan.Alan, on the other hand, happily drove us back towards my original pack, as two other cars were following us.I decided not to ask about it since it is normal for royalties to be followed by their bodyguards.Kind of funny how the place I used to think of as home seems scary, horrifying, and more horrible than what home should be.How not?This territory holds all the worst memories from my previous life. I mean, I was bullied here and got rejected. Add to that I lost my mother and father here. They were both killed in front of my eyes brutally.The worst part is that I can hate no one but myself since they could both be alive if I wasn't their daughter.Well, once we arrived at my previous pa
