Talon's POV
"Talon, as the Alpha of the pack, what you're doing right now is incredibly irresponsible. You mustn't forget the duty that rests upon your shoulders. There's simply no time for you to play so called love game anymore," Yone chided me, his tone subdued, ignoring my anger."Who are you to dictate my actions? Don't forget your own place."Be questioned by Yone, my frustration grew. "I'm sorry, but I can't stand to witness the pack’s decline. Almost every aspect of the current situation is controlled by Tryndamere. He's reaching out to numerous packs covertly. In the end, we'll be left passive when we finally launch our offensive. We should have acted sooner instead of wasting time here for a useless werewolf."Yone bristled at my words. "Firstly, he's not just a useless werewolf. He used to be my father’s most loyal subordinate and he's Caitlyn's father. I won't allow any harm to come to him.""But he once deserted us!"Caitlyn's POVWhen I confronted Talon and Yone, I could clearly discern a hint of panic in Talon's eyes."Caitlyn, what are you doing here?" Talon asked, managing a strained smile."If I hadn't stumbled upon this, I still wouldn't have known that my father was imprisoned by your men. No wonder you've sworn a few times to rescue him, yet there hasn't been any action," I remarked, casting a skeptical glance at Talon."It's none of Talon's business. It was my decision.."To my surprise, Yone, who had previously tried to intervene between Talon and me, suddenly spoke up in Talon's defense, deepening my suspicion."There's no need for so much explanation. I'll settle this," I said icily to Yone, brushing off Talon's attempt to restrain me and striding toward the door.Meanwhile, Yone stood in the corner with a faint smile on his lips, suggesting that perhaps this outcome was his true intention all along."Caitlyn, it's not what you think. Let me ex
Caitlyn's POV"Any idea where my father is being held prisoner?" I inquired.Upon hearing my question, Bard didn't hesitate for a second; instead, he appeared somewhat eager."Well, earlier I overheard Yone and Talon talking, and it seems Yone is the one holding my father captive."I attempted to conceal my anger with a calm tone. As I spoke, Bard fell silent for a moment before nodding softly."In that case, let's not waste any time. We should move tonight. If the king hasn't stationed anyone there, the two of us should be able to handle it," Bard suggested as he swiftly removed his bandages."Are you sure you're up for this?" I couldn't help but notice the shocking scars on Bard's body, causing me to inhale sharply."Just a minor inconvenience, nothing serious," Bard grinned before taking the lead."But won't it be risky for just the two of us?" I hesitated slightly, still half-expecting Talon to materialize by my side. However, I knew
Caitlyn's POVI sidestepped to evade the attack of the werewolf standing before me, masquerading as my father. Just then, a cacophony of noise erupted from outside the church, signaling that we had been part of their plans since the moment we breached in."You go first, I'll handle this," Bard commanded coldly, standing guard at the doorway with a stern expression. The heavy, blunt footsteps outside, akin to a horn urging me forward, sank my heart."Let's deal with the immediate threat," I urged. Seeing his failed strike, the werewolf in front of me grew annoyed and transformed into a wolf in the confined space. With a bloody mouth, it lunged straight at me. I even caught a whiff of the strong fishy odor emanating from its body."Go to hell!" I shouted. Just as I contemplated transforming into a wolf myself, Bard swiftly spun around and with a forceful blow, knocked the werewolf aside. It crashed into the hard wall, whimpering in pain."It must be Yone who p
Caitlyn's POV My boyfriend Jayce was a werewolf, yes, just like the image that came to your mind. However, he didn't usually run around suddenly on all fours in a quiet forest under a full moon, and he was not like those TV shows with a wolf's head on the top half and a human torso in leggings on the bottom half. Most of the time, he appeared almost human, except for the occasional amber pupil, a bit of extra muscle, some financial stability, a consistent approach to love, and a touch of charisma, but not much more than that. Jayce was destined to become the future Alpha of our Purple Moon Pack. And yes, even though I was a human, I still belonged to a family of werewolves, given that my father was a werewolf. The bond between werewolf and human wasn't as common, but it was still accepted within the pack. We spent five incredibly sweet years together, and just yesterday, he told me he intended to marry me this year and made me the Luna of the pack. "What makes you smile l
Caitlyn's POV"Did you have a pleasant night?" My father, settled in the cozy living room, offered a casual wave, his approval for Jayce always evident."Not bad," I replied, withholding certain details. Retreating to my room, my mind became a whirlpool fixated on what had happened tonight. I wrestled with my pillows to prop myself up, and soon I fell asleep with a heavy heart.Late at night, I woke up from a vivid and lengthy nightmare.In this dream, I experienced a surreal fall through an abyss of darkness, where fragmented rays of light swirled around me. Amidst this chaotic setting, I heard Jayce professing his love for Morgana, while Morgana's unsettling laughter echoed in the background.I labored to rise, the late night enshrouding me. My heart lay heavy, a burden of stone, suffocating my breath. Without knowing how much time passed, I turned off my cell phone and drove aimlessly through the city until I arrived at a lavishly decorated bar.I had never visited such a place
Caitlyn's POVWhen I groggily opened my eyes, I realized that everything around me appeared rather unfamiliar, but the ache in my body served as a reminder of last night's escapade. With newfound alertness, I sat up, only to find the room empty and abandoned. There, on the nightstand beside me, lay a key with a note tucked underneath."This is a gift for you, little wildcat."I remained frozen in place, partly due to my own indulgence the previous night, and partly because of my surprise at the man's unexpected generosity. However, reason prevailed, and I left the keys where they were, escaping the house as if I were fleeing from something dreadful.Sitting in the car on my way home, I retrieved my cell phone from my bag. As soon as I turned it on, a flood of messages came pouring in—most of them from Leona's calls, interspersed with a few brief messages from my father.In the depths of despair, not a single message from Jayce had reached me, leaving me feeling utterly abandoned by
Caitlyn's POVLike a wretched specter, I returned to my own graveyard, my mind plagued by confusion. The experiences of the past few days left me feeling as if the world around me had turned surreal and unfamiliar. In a haze, I heard a sharp knock on the door, followed by the familiar voice of my father."Caitlyn, it's time to get up. Jayce is here," he said.At the mention of Jayce's name, my heart clenched violently, as if pricked by a needle. I was still trying to come to terms with the pain of his betrayal while attempting to adapt to my new identity: that of a forsaken woman left by her fiancé. Though my heart was shattered, I was determined not to reveal my despair in front of him. Unaware of the events of the previous night, my father made small talk with Jayce outside the door. "Caitlyn is always sleeping until noon," he said.I hurriedly composed myself, tidying my disheveled hair and wiping away the traces of tears from the night before. Just then, Jayce entered the room
Caitlyn's POV"What are you up to?" Jayce's voice cut through the air like a sharp blade, fixing an angry gaze on Swain, who momentarily froze but quickly composed himself.With a sycophantic grin on his face, Swain replied, "Oh, nothing. I'm just assisting you in teaching this shameless woman a lesson. Her very existence is a disgrace to our esteemed Purple Moon Pack.""Get lost!" Jayce retorted sharply, causing Swain to glare at me indignantly before reluctantly stepping aside."Caitlyn, are you alright?" Jayce's concern showed in his gentle frown as he turned to me."Yes, I'm as fine as can be," I responded, finally breaking my silence. "Did you come here to express sympathy and comfort me? Or was it just to flaunt your new girlfriend, who, I must admit, is stunningly beautiful?"My words seemed to catch Jayce off guard, leaving him not knowing how to respond. Until then, I had always played the role of understanding and kind girlfriend, but my outburst had shattered that image."I
