Maverick's words left Albert dumbfounded. What the hell did the damn guy mean? What had his father done in the past? Did Christian Dexter also get the same fate as him? Did that mean his mother was also a Bloodwolf?Albert's heads were arguing with each other until it was very noisy. In his information-hungry state, Maverick's words were a distraction."What's with your expression, Alpha Albert? Did I say something that hurt you?" taunted Maverick with a crooked smile.Albert gritted his teeth and pulled Maverick's collar roughly, causing the man's head to hit the metal bars hard. Fresh blood flowed from the temple. The old man groaned, then wiped the blood from the wound on his forehead. Maverick looked at the fresh blood on his fingertips and licked it off while closing his eyes."I never thought my blood would be this good," Maverick said of his psychotic behavior.Maverick's laughter ignited Albert's emotions. The Alpha tried hard to suppress his anger lest the old man provoke him

Daydreams brought Albert further and further into anxiety. Should he choose the path of living as an ordinary werewolf? What rank would he belong to if he chose to give up his Alpha power? Ah, no! Being an Alpha was his destiny. He could not mortgage his pride as an Alpha just for love. This thought killed him. He would do it willingly if he could break the prophecy without losing his Alpha power. However, the risk he had to bear was too heavy. He would lose not only his Alpha power but also his pack."Alpha Albert!" called out one of Albert's men.The Alpha turned and saw a servant hobbling over to him."What's going on?" asked Albert, who read the servant's bad vibes.The servant stopped with a gasp."The herd from South River is heading this way," said the servant.Albert turned his body fully towards the servant. Both of his eyebrows were furrowed faintly."How did you know they were coming?" Albert asked."They-" The servant stopped talking when he heard shouting in the distance.

What's wrong?Darla's words made Ryn overthink. The girl left Darla's room with a hollow heart in her chest. What does it mean to mate if there is never a claim from the mate? Ryn walked dreamily, thinking about the reason Albert never claimed her."Is it true? Doesn't he want me?" muttered Ryn.The girl relaxed her shoulders. Her feet shuffled down the corridor. Damn! Darla's words were so provocative that they filled her mind with anxiety. Albert had indeed introduced himself as the Future Luna to the entire pack. However, the man needed to do what he was supposed to do. It was as if being the Luna in the pack was just a formality she had to go through as the Alpha's Mate. How pathetic!"Should I ask him directly?" Ryn chuckled, then sighed. "That would make me look like a bitch who needs confession. No! That would be ridiculous!""Pst!"Amid her agitation, Ryn heard a voice."Pst! Over here." The whispered voice sounded again.Ryn turned her head, looking for the direction the voic

Ryn wrote something down on paper. She folded it neatly and called Maina. "Take this to Darla's room," Ryn ordered. Maina accepted the paper and said, "Yes, Miss." "And don't you dare to open it! Do you understand?" Ryn said so in a warning tone. "I understand," Maina replied. Ryn leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed. A faint smile was etched on her lips, and her eyes looked at the maid's retreat. Ryn kept her promise to Darla. This time, she was more prepared to fight with the woman. Ryn wanted to prove that Darla's victory in the previous fight was just a fluke. "See you there, Darla," Ryn said in a low voice. In addition to making up for her defeat, Ryn also wanted to prove to Darla that what she had said about the mark was unproven. Ryn believed in Albert. She would no longer listen to Darla's nonsense. Ryn chose a day when Albert was not in the palace. The girl snuck out, like before. This time she was more careful, so she escaped the castle without anyone c

The burning anger seemed to fuel Albert, and Ryn's passion heated up even more. The fire of passion had dampened the fire of anger in their chests. They were equally hot and soul-burning. No more forced kisses. There were only two people who wanted each other.Albert pushed Ryn until the door behind the girl opened. He didn't stop there. Albert then closed the bedroom door with his foot, ensuring they were separated from the free space for privacy. With lips reluctant to unlink, Albert lifted the girl's body, carried her to the bed, and laid her down carefully. It was as if Ryn was a fragile object that could easily break. The Alpha held her dominantly, showing that he was in charge.For a moment, the kiss was paused with a sharp intake of breath. The two pairs of eyes stared at each other amidst the rush of warm breath hitting each other's faces. The pheromones that emanated felt so thick. It signaled that they wanted each other just as strongly."You're in heat, huh?" Albert spoke i
