Anna's POV I quickly remembered everything Sturbridge told me about the man I came here to kill. He was the most powerful back in his time; no one could match his power, and he was literally not killable. The only way I could kill him was to get to him before he became a celestial demon. He didn't become a celestial demon until he got me, his wife, pregnant. So I had to kill him now before he would get me pregnant, easy peasy. On the other hand, for some reason that I didn't know, Wendy kept shivering violently beside me. She didn't seem cold but her bones kept rattling as if frost had pierced into her marrow. It seemed like she was suspecting that something must have awakened in me. She turned her head away as her breath kept hitching. My stern eyes bore into her with sharpness as if I had a killing intent so deep, like I wanted to claw at her soul. "Hey, Wendy!" I said with a thin and dangerous smile. "How do I get back to my residence? How do I get back to my husband?" We

Anna's POV Before she could realize what was happening, I slammed a sharp strike into the side of her neck and her eyes bulged instantly while she exhaled a strangled gasp. I brought up my low voice after a dry chuckle. "Didn't you say you are the best in the pack. If you, the best is like this, how will the worst be."? Immediately, Wendy collapsed and her body hit the ground with a thud. Her eyes were still wide open in disbelief but the twinkle in her eyes had vanished. I dusted off imaginary sand away from my sleeve and walked off without sparing him another glance. I followed Wendy's direction and found myself at Alpha Nicholas' Fort. Torches glowed faintly against the night with long shadows against the stone walls. A handful of guards were patrolling the gate while their armor kept clinking softly. "Your Highness!" They stopped and bowed politely with respect as they caught a hold of my sight. I did not respond but my expression was a mask of cold determination. I cont

Anna's POV Everything I had gone through started flowing back into my head. Starting from what I went through in Linda's and Alpha Jake's hands. I was supposed to have a happy ending not one to get destroyed by Alice and the invincible army created by her uncle, James. Even when I became the Alpha, all the sacrifices I made for the pack, my father's legacy. I had to kill this man to make sure all that were not wasted. No matter how hard this proved to be, I must see it to the end. It was just like a second chance for me. "I only wanted to save myself and the people of my time," I whispered to myself. My hands trembled as I looked at him. "Just to make sure that Alice won't have the invincible army before I leave this world." My eyes narrowed. The words in my mind sharpened into a vow and it encouraged me. "I can't let you live, Alpha Nicholas Shafter." I pulled out a dagger and raised it up with my fingers stiffened around the hilt. Slowly, I stepped forward with the aim of

Alpha Nicholas Shafter's POV Darkness. That was all I saw. I found myself in an endless void where no wind stirred, there were no stars, and there was also no sound, not even echoes. The only thing I heard was the slow pounding of my own heart. This was not the first time I would be here. In fact, I felt like I spent most of my lifetime, drifting in this dark abyss. Sitting down with my knees pulled closer to my chest and my arms wrapped around myself as if I wanted to protect my body from the emptiness. My lips kept trembling as I whispered into the dark. "Why me?" My own voice came back to me and I quickly gulped. "Why was I born only to suffer? Why do I keep coming back here?" My eyes closed and the memories came back. I was the unwanted child, the son of the Alpha who was not wanted by his father. I was the illegitimate prince of the Shafter Pack and I was born into the palace not as a son but as a servant, an omega. My father’s concubines always looked at me with di

Alpha Nicholas Shafter's POV The woman shook her head slowly. I asked again while catching my breath, "Then, am I going to finally die the real death this time?" To my shock, the shadow nodded again. My heart trembled. "Can you do it quickly or are you not the one to do it?" Again, the shadow nodded. Seeing that, my lips curved in joy and I felt relieved. For once, I neither cared about my life nor felt terrified. For once, I believed that my suffering would end. I lifted my hands up to welcome it. "Please, do it now." The woman moved closer with slow and deliberate steps. But just as she reached me, she looked twisted with her mouth lined with rows of jagged teeth. Her body stiffened with terror as she let her arms spread wide. "Why are you hesitating? Just do it." But before her teeth could touch me, a burst of light split the void, and another woman, older, stepped in to join us while her body glowed with power. "DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH MY SON!" Her voice shook the dark

Alpha Nicholas Shafter's POV Now in my chamber, I sat with my legs folded, my posture straight, but I still felt strange. I used to be weak but right now I was feeling fragile like a porcelain figure that could shatter at a touch. Lady Noelle was resting across my lap, fast asleep. Her breathing was steady, and her face relaxed, but her hair was messy. There was this faint, acrid scent of alcohol that was mixed with the bitter scent of poison all over her. My lips parted and a whisper slipped out. "Poisoned by my demon cult assassins?" My voice was thin and it sounded uncertain as I looked at her again. "If my demon cult assassins poisoned her, how did she survive? Why is she here?" Her head rested against my thighs as if she were resting against a pillow. Her brow was smooth as if the world or nothing could trouble her I felt envious but I didn’t want to admit it. I remembered where I just came back from. I just found out that my mother was the one who had been secretly h

Anna's POV I found myself drifting in the darkness, I was weightless but I was at peace. My body felt as if it had melted away, it seemed like I had only a thread of awareness left while being suspended into something that could be referred to as void. I didn’t know how long I had been here for. It could have been a second, it could have been a century or eons. None of that mattered to me right now. For the first time in my life, I felt inexplicably comfortable. Warm, safe and sound. I neither wanted to ask why nor wanted to think about what brought me here. I just wanted to close my eyes and stay in this moment for a little while. Morning came like a soft breath, carrying with it the warmth of sunlight that slipped through the carved windows of the main chamber of Alpha Nicholas Shafter's Fort. My eyes fluttered open slowly and the weight of sleep lifted off me like a heavy cloak. But what greeted me made my entire world paused, almost crumbling. A man lay in front of me, h

Anna's POV Her voice cracked with raw shock. Then, as realization set in, she let out a laugh while clutching at the floor with her eyes brimming with tears. "I’m still alive! Heaven hasn’t abandoned me! Oh merciful heavens, I thought today was my death day! My poor children! I was seeing the gates of hell already! I thought you had struck me to death!" Her words tumbled out without pause but a mess of laughter and sobbing. "Oh! How could I have doubted you, moon goddess? I’ll drink to this day for the rest of my life!" I frowned as I had lost my patience but I let the torrent run its course. Wendy pounded the ground lightly with her fist while muttering, "I'm alive and I'm still breathing!" Finally, I cut in with a calm but firm voice. "Wendy." Wendy snapped her head up to show me her pale face "Yes, my Lady!" "I want you to assign someone to care for my husband. He is not to be troubled. Not by anyone. And I want you to shout it to every corner of this Fort if you have to.

Anna's POV Its petals shimmered with holy light deep within the shadows of its soul. My heart thundered as I raised both hands to form seals rapidly while pulling gently on the image. The talisman stirred up and rose slowly as it answered my call. Then, I froze with my eyes wide. The talisman unfolded like I wanted, but its petals were faded; it just glowed hollowly. "SEVEN SPIRIT LOTUS..." My voice trembled. "This is the magic of resurrection." I decided to have this ready in case the worst happened. I thought I would die last time and if I had died, I would have lost everything. With these lotuses now, even if I die, they would come and bring me back to life. As I was still thinking about this, I remembered something. 'Didn't I kill Alpha Nicholas the last time I attacked him?' 'Shouldn't I be dead too?' 'How come both of us are alive?' I couldn't answer that as my confusion didn't seem like something that I could resolve by myself. If Sturbridge were here, it would all

Anna's POV "What?" I froze as a tide of dark energy, thick and suffocating, pressed against my senses. It reeked familiar. "Damn it," I hissed. "Alpha Nicholas, the Celestial Demon! He's breaking through, he's also taking in more power?" The floor beneath me cracked as I launched forward. My body was shot into motion and I shattered the door on my way out. As night had already fallen, the cold moonlight revealed shimmering waves of demonic power mists as it spread through the air like ink in water. "This is bad," I muttered with my jaw tight. My instincts led me to another part of the Fort, the grand hall was ablaze with lantern light while the servants kept moving swiftly, carrying trays of fine dishes and kegs of wine. I hid in a corner and peeped into the hall. At the far end of the table, the father of the owner of this body, Alpha Thornton, raised his cup with both hands while speaking with a warm and respectful voice. "To the honored envoy of the Conjoined Pack kingdom
