After the approval Rachel took from their discussion, Kennedy did not delay in starting to train the woman.First of all, they learned to process Rachel's emotions so that she wouldn't be so easily affected by Brandon again."Imagine Brandon is in your head and you are talking to him directly." Kennedy instructed from a distance, while Rachel stood right in the middle of the meadow.It was not far from the palace, one of the Alpha's private fields.Rachel stood right in the middle of the meadow surrounded by giant redwood trees. The leaves were dense and formed a canopy-protecting them from the harsh midday sun.Rachel would begin to try to control her emotions so that she could focus when she faced Brandon.Brandon was the strongest King Alpha with intuition and strength unlike any other alpha. So far, no alpha from their federation had managed to defeat the man, so what Rachel and Kennedy were about to do would not be easy.Rachel began to follow Kennedy's instructions and closed he

"How is it now? Were you able to hit the target board perfectly without missing a beat?"Rachel looked at the arrow in her hand, then at Kennedy who was carrying the hunted fox. They had been practicing non-stop for a week, and the last part was to make sure Rachel could hit the bull's-eye. She was getting more and more excited about practicing, especially since her power control was already qualified to fight Brandon."Yes, I'm sure I can do it," Rachel said.Kennedy grinned happily, then hung the dead fox in her hands from one of the trees. It was very far and high from Rachel's position."If you can hit that fox in the eye, then your training is complete." Kennedy moved away from the target tree and nodded at the woman.Rachel suddenly felt nervous, considering this was her first time shooting at a living creature. Usually only target boards or fruits."Come on darling, prove your ability to kill that vile bastard named Brandon." Kennedy deliberately turned up the heat at Rachel's

"Alpha Brandon? What do you mean by stop? This woman is a traitor!"Beta Victor gave his Alpha a questioning look. He didn't understand why Brandon still felt sorry for Rachel who had hurt him.He had seen how Brandon suffered for months, just to find Rachel's whereabouts. Then after being cruelly rejected, he still wanted her?Victor certainly didn't understand how Brandon felt about Rachel. But as Brandon's loyal Beta, he didn't want him to get caught up in Rachel's temptation again."Alpha...""Let me handle everything, Victor," Brandon said with his gaze not leaving Rachel's face. He didn't look at Victor at all and motioned the man to leave with his hand.Victor had no choice but to nod, although he still couldn't get over what Brandon was doing."Sweety." Brandon approached slowly, his eyes tracing Rachel's disheveled appearance, then stopping at her wounded stomach."DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!" Rachel roared. Her eyes blazed with anger, causing Brandon to stop in his tracks. The lo

Rachel fell silent on the bed while hugging her knees. A heavy sigh escaped her mouth. She felt very troubled at the thought of exchanging herself for her baby.So, when Rachel woke up in the morning, she heard the chatter of the servants in the palace hallway. They said that Brandon and Kennedy had made a deal. Later, Victor arrived to confirm everything.Kennedy could take Rachel back to Pack Leinz without hindrance, but in exchange, Brandon would take the baby.Rachel wasn't exactly willing to give her baby to a vile man like Brandon, but she knew there was something Kennedy was up to. There was no way the man would agree to Brandon's offer without having a hidden agenda."Rachel?"The call made Rachel turn her head. She saw Brandon standing in the doorway, staring at her with a closed expression. I don't know what was going through the man's head, but he seemed more in control than ever."Come on out, Kennedy's waiting outside with your baby."Rachel squeezed his hand and let out

Rachel's welcome was celebrated as grandly as a wedding feast.Brandon's usually somber palace had been decorated to the nines. Silk fabrics were stretched out, with red and white roses placed in every corner. Candles and lanterns were arranged neatly, illuminating every spot in the main hall.Food and drinks were served on long tables, giving off an evocative aroma to every guest who came.Brandon had invited all the Alpha packs from the other Packs. They had all heard the news of the arrival of Rachel, the Luna who had been missing.Rachel had come to Pack Manowi escorted by Kennedy. He could only take her to the border, while Brandon would take her back to the palace."I have degraded myself by bringing Rachel here," Kennedy said in an annoyed voice.Rachel could only look down in her place, while Brandon said nothing. His focus was already centered on the woman he missed so much. Brandon could hardly contain himself from taking Rachel into his arms and smelling her scent deeply.N
