Erika’s POVI knew it would possibly snow and the temperature would fall drastically tonight. I didn’t expect that the snow came so early tonight. The ground was soon blanketed with snow and it was freezing cold. I looked up and the moon couldn't be seen because of the heavy snow. Thank the Moon Goddess for choosing such a cold night as my first night of freedom.I had been walking in the snow in a long dress with a warm red cloak for twenty minutes. I pulled the cloak tight and trembled.My feet were so cold that I gathered up my dress and began to run to keep warm. It was not easy to run in such an outfit and the lack of training these days also made it harder. I ran for about thirty minutes and finally ran into the forest. With every step I took, I was farther and farther away from the Blood Moon Pack and Derek.I kept running and I met two rogues on my way. They were quite aggressive when they noticed that a woman in a beautiful dress with makeup was running in the snow. However,

Derek’s POVI drove to the place where Angel and the driver were found.Seeing me come, Francis got out of the car. This time, he looked completely different from the last time I saw him. He was even taller and more muscular than I was.He walked over and patted me on the shoulder.“They are in the car. The driver is still unconscious and Angel just woke up. She got many bruises. But I checked them and found no serious injuries,” Francis said meaningfully and gestured to the car.

Derek’s POV I clenched my fists and pounded on the wall, leaving a dent with blood stains on it. We had searched for Erika in the forest for two days and there was no trace of her. All we knew was that she escaped with the help of her former student. But now, it turned out that she was caught by Richard. The instant I saw the picture and recognized that the bloody body was my mate, my heart stopped pounding for a second. I threw the phone on the sofa and covered my face with my hands, having no courage to check that photo again. For the last two days, I didn’t sleep much. I had a lot on my plate and I couldn’t fall asleep without Erika by my side. I thought that she must have been popping a bottle of champagne to celebrate her escape. But judging from the photo, she didn’t sleep much either. She seemed to be tortured badly and it must be a hard time for her. I looked up at the ceiling and rubbed my throbbing temples. I summoned an emergency meeting with Francis, Kent, Gerald, and Ca

Erika’s POVIt was getting harder and harder to distinguish reality from the dream.It was dark and cold and stinky. Was I still in that little hut, the dark and stinky room? Was there a rat who wanted to eat me? Was my life still in danger? I didn’t know and I couldn’t figure it out because everything was dark. The only thing I knew was that I was very weak. I was so weak that I couldn’t do anything if a fat rat wanted to eat me. I felt as weak and insecure as I did when I was a little girl. If something terrible happened, I could do nothing to stop it.Sudd

Erika’s POV“I’m so excited! I thought that I would never see you again. But you’re still our Luna! Oh, my Goddess, I’m so happy. You know, I jumped up when I heard about the news you woke up and I rushed here with Carl and Sylvia at my fastest speed. Erika, you’ve been unconscious for three days. You don’t know what happened these days! Alpha Derek always pulls a long face and he’s so scary. Emma led a bunch of girls outside the pack house…” Angel gabbled excitedly after she stuffed a bunch of flowers in my hands.However, Carl cleared his throat and stopped Angel. Sylvia put down the things she got for
