Gray's POVJoey's menacing words were hardly out of his mouth when a group of over a dozen fully-armed werewolves burst into the room. These folks were burly, their weapons gleamed, and it was clear they knew their way around a fight.Joey grinned like he had just pulled off the best trick in the world and said, "I know you are very tough, but as soon as I got that message that you came to my pack, I called back every warrior we had in the pack. There is more muscle waiting outside. No matter how good you are, you can't fight off all of us. Today, both of you are destined to die here alongside that wretch Alisha."My face scrunched up tight. I could smell Alisha's blood, and worry buzzed inside me. But the current situation was one that we couldn't quickly resolve or escape from safely. Even if we could call for backup through the mindlink, it would take some time for them to arrive at the Black Furies, which we didn't have.Moreover, Joey wasn't giving us any opportunities. He immedi

Alisha's POVKnowing that the doctor couldn't come to treat Magaly due to Archie's orders, I felt a deep hatred for him. Why did he favor Erma so much? Why didn't he consider the lives of others?I forced myself to stay calm. Complaining wouldn't help now. I had to find a way to save Magaly. So, I dialed Archie's number, and after what seemed like an eternity, someone finally answered the call.I urgently said to Archie, "Archie, I need...""Sorry, Luna, this is Brad. Alpha isn't available to take calls right now."I knew that even Brad wouldn't have the authority to change Archie's decisions and orders, so I asked directly, "Brad? Where's Archie? I have something very important to discuss with him.""Sorry, Luna," Brad replied.I was furious, "Since he won't take my call, then tell him I need the doctor from Erma's side immediately!""Sorry, Luna, Alpha ordered earlier to prioritize Erma's health and safety."Upon hearing this, my heart felt frozen. I blinked, and a tear slid down my

Archie's POVWhen I watched Alisha leaving without looking back, accompanied by Gray and Louie, my heart felt like it was being fried in hot oil. How I wished she would change her mind! If only she apologized, I could forgive her for her helplessness and insolence this time.But she was cold-hearted and left without any nostalgia, leaving those other two bastards behind.Rage consumed me; I kicked the table and sofa, wanting to tear down the entire house. Brad kneeled down with fear right now.At this time, my wolf's voice echoed in my mind, "Archie, I sense the presence of our mate, the person we have been searching for. However, for some reason, she seems no longer to belong to us.""Oh, come on, you idiot! What mate are you talking about? Are you still half asleep? You have been dozing off since the island, and now you wake up talking nonsense! That bitch Alisha has run off with someone else! Why didn't you just sleep through doomsday and then wake up?""What did you say?""Alisha,

Archie‘s POVAlthough I knew my wolf made a valid point, that I should immediately catch up to Alisha to confirm if she was indeed my mate, for some reason, I remained standing there, taking no action.My wolf persisted, urging me, "What are you standing around for? Move, now!"But I remained impassive, rooted to the spot, like a statue.My wolf howled, and I felt like it might just burst out on its own in the next second. "Damn it, Archie, is there something wrong with your brain? I have explained everything, why are you standing here cluelessly! That's our mate!"Frustrated, I tugged at my hair and then sat down on the floor, gasping for breath. "Stop howling. I won't go see her. Since she has chosen to betray me herself, how can I still have to look for her?""You are being a complete idiot! What did you do to make Alisha so angry that she decided to break up with you?"Upon hearing this, I punched the floor. "It's all her fault! She must wanted to leave the Golden Crest long ago,

Alisha's POVI followed Gray into Blood Dawn and immediately encountered a brown-haired man—tall, muscular—with a prominent scar running from his left eye to the right side of his mouth. Though the scar seemed superficial, it still gave him an exceptionally fierce and intimidating appearance.Gray introduced me: "Alisha, this is Riley Karnes, Blood Dawn's Beta, a reliable and strong werewolf. You used to play together when you were kids."Did he saw me when I was little? While Riley raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled; clearly, he didn't recognize me at all.I blinked and gently shook my head. Although Gray firmly believed I was his sister, I remained deeply skeptical. "Sorry, I... I don't remember... I mean, I don't recall him, or you, Gray."However, Gray wasn't disheartened by my response. He smiled. "It's not your fault, Alisha. You don't need to apologize. Trust me, everything will be okay." Then, turning to Riley, he continued, "Buddy, this is Alisha. Her identity remains confide
