Brooklyn's POV:
"No, it's not the time, Editha." I had to stop her before things got worse!
"Moore's ceremony is about to start. And if I go back and beat Hale, I'm sure that I won't go back to the Cacer pack in time."
After that, the change stopped. But the sharp claws didn't transform.
It meant that Editha agreed with my words. But she was still hesitant.
In the past years, my wolf Editha watched me being bullied by Hale. And she was so angry that she wanted to transform and tear Hale apart. It happened many times. But I stopped her from doing so.
Because I always felt that if I found ways to solve our problems patiently, Hale and I would have those sweet old days again.
But now...I didn't what to do.
He was my mate and the husband given by the Moon Goddess. And it was impossible for me to leave him.
"I'm sorry, Editha. I'm the one who let you down."
Editha was always fearless. She had all the good qualities of a werewolf. Being awaHaleed by a loser like me was a torment for her.
"Don't say that." Editha's claws slowly retracted and let out a heavy sigh, "The Moon Goddess isn't always right. I just want to help you escape from that miserable life."
"The Moon Goddess would make a wrong decision? How's that possible? Maybe Hale and I have some misunderstandings of each other. Don't worry, I'll figure out the ways to deal with it."
I had to buck up. Otherwise, my family members would be worried when I got back to the Cacer pack.
"Well, don't think about it. We should be happy! We will see our families soon."
"You're right." Editha was happy as well, "Just drive faster. I miss that little bastard as well."
"Hahahaha, he was annoyed with your pranks at that time!"
"That's because I like him. Otherwise, I wouldn't play with him!"
After that, we started the car and drove slowly on the road. During this time, Hale called several times to mock me. But I didn't give a shit and just drove calmly.
After 24 hours, I finally arrived at the Cacer pack. And when I got out of the car and breath in the fresh air, the exhaustion was swept away. And even Editha was affected by my good mood. She gave a comfortable cry in my head.
I smiled happily. And when I was about to go to find my father, Aaron, and Abbey, I suddenly smelled a scent. It was like the fresh smell of spring rain on the grass in the afternoon. It was light but particularly pleasant. I wanted to smell it longer.
At that moment, a cute figure suddenly appeared. She darted towards me like a flower fairy in a snow-white dress. And she happily hugged me.
"Brooklyn, I just heard the sound and I thought it was you! And Mommy didn't believe me!"
"Cathy is so smart."
Cathy was Abbey's daughter. She was very close to me. When I was leaving with Hale, she hugged me and cried all night. She was such a cute girl.
I hugged her with delight and sniffed at her, "Is that your scent? What a special smell!"
"Is it?" She sniffed her sleeve and turned to pull me again, "I just got a new perfume. And I didn't think it smelled good. But since you think it smells good, then...it does! By the way, I told mom that you have to sleep with me tonight..."
Aaron and Abbey snuggled up to each other and stood Not in the yard looking at us with a smile. While Moore was squatting on the ground pulling weeds. He got up after hearing our voices. And he waved excitedly at us.
"Brooklyn!"
Their faces were filled with tenderness and love. And they had the best wishes for each other. This was the real family. This was the family worthy to protect.
But everyone was discussing a sad issue: it happened on Alpha Devin of the Aries pack. His mate had disappeared after giving birth to a kid. And Devin had spent almost the entire pack's resources to find his mate.
Somehow, I was incredibly envious of such a beautiful love.
Devin's POV:
My mate Lucy had disappeared.
She howled in pain all night yesterday and finally gave birth to our daughter Amy. She was too exhausted and slept.
The newborn was noisy and I was afraid of disturbing Lucy. So I took the baby out and let her have a good rest.
The baby was very cute. And the maids said that her nose was like mine. But I couldn't tell it. After all, her whole face was so wrinkled.
But this was my first child and the fruit of our love.
As the Alpha of the Aries pack, I was wise and brave guarding the werewolf pack; As my Luna, Lucy was kind and considerate. She would never be childish. We had never quarreled. And she had never expressed her dissatisfaction with me. We could talk calmly about everything. Everyone in the pack felt envious of our relationship.
And our child would inherit all our merits, as kind, brave, and fearless as a female warrior. And in the future, she would be pampered in my arms, call me daddy, wipe away my sweat, and become a good girl.
When I was imagining the future life, one of the maids suddenly looked up, pointed at my shoulder blade, and shouted in surprise, "Oh my God, Alpha, your mate mark..."
It was a crescent-shaped mark. And when Lucy and I got married, the mark naturally appeared on both of our shoulder blades. It showed that we were mates.
But now it actually disappeared?
I realized that something was wrong and rushed to the room. A woman who had just given birth should have been lying on the bed DISAPPEARED!
Lucy disappeared!
How could she have disappeared? She had just given birth. She was so pale. How was that possible?
At home, in the pack, in the woods, I searched for her like a madman. I kept shouting her name toward the sky. But I couldn't any clue of her whereabouts.
She disappeared like she had dug a crack in the ground! I couldn't find her!
This scenario made me anxious and restless. Amy also seemed to be aware of this situation. She was crying loudly. But I didn't have the time to coax her.
The mate mark disappeared...it meant that the mate bond between Lucy and I had been broHale. So I didn't know how to find her.
From then on, only I and Amy accompanied each other. I didn't even know how to feed and change her diapers, how to raise a child, or how to teach her to be a good girl.
I was sad and buried my head in my palm. The tears flew through my fingers.
I wished Lucy could see how sad I was now. Or she could hear our daughter's crying in pain. Maybe she would go back, take me into her arms like she used to, and say gently, "Honey, I just went out for a short while. And now I'm back."
But I knew that she might never come back.
Mate mark disappeared...it meant Lucy was dead, or...she didn't want the mate bond anymore!
Just then, I smelled a scent. It was like the fresh smell of the spring rain of the afternoon on the dried grass. It was faint but fresh.
I could even feel that this scent came from the North. That was the territory of the primitive werewolf pack division.
My wolf inside my body received the induction from the Moon Goddess - that was my mate.
Could it be ......Lucy?
Did she go to the North?
No, I had to go and check myself!
I swore by the name of the god of war that I would figure out the truth, no matter what happened.
Although I couldn't say no to Cathy's request to sleep with her tonight, the tiredness on my face was noticed by Abbey. She refused Cathy's request for me and took me to the room on the far right of the corridor on the third floor. This was the room I lived in before I got married. It was a 10-meter square room with a bed placed against one wall, and the opposite was a floor-to-ceiling bay window. I liked to sit there when I'm bored, as I could pick up a book to read or study. Sometimes, I would love to enjoy the warmth of the sun showering my body, looking out the window and saying hello to the passersby. Next to the bay window was a desk, which was full of gadgets I put on before I left. There was a lamp in the shape of a cherry tree, a pen holder in the shape of a villa, and a group photo of the family. The books on the table were still neatly arranged according to my needs. There were even a few more crystal balls with their perspective holder. "These crystal balls were bought b
I really wanted to ignore Hale's calls, but if I didn't, he'd be furious at home, or maybe would call Aaron directly, and the misfortune I'm hiding would be revealed and everyone would worry about me. I couldn't stand anyone sabotaging Moore's succession convention! Alas, I had to take a deep breath before calling back. "Oh, my dear wife." The snarky voice sounded again, "How's it going over there? had you met a lot of men who can serve you as comfortably as I do..." "Hale!" I interrupted him reluctantly. "I told you I was with Aaron's family all the time!" I didn't want to argue with him, so I held my palms to calm myself down, "I just went out with Moore and the others for an exercise, and I forgot to bring my phone. That's it. Now, do you had anything else to ask?" "Look at what you said,'" he imitated my tone of voice disgustingly, "Look how cold-blooded and ruthless you are! I am your husband, the mate given to you by the Moon Goddess, and it is only right and proper for me t
Brooklyn's POV: The people outside were still waiting for me. I couldn't stay in the bathroom for too long. I didn't want Hale to make excuses for my lateness. I quickly sent a message to Hale and put on my dress, and was about to go out when Hale's phone came again. This time, I picked it up immediately, and yelled at the phone in a low, suppressed voice, "What else do you want?" Forgive me for not controlling my tone. Hale was very happy to hear my frantic voice. Through the phone, he smiled and said nothing. As the ceremony was about to start, he just wanted to congratulate Moore on his adulthood. I knew, he just wanted to make sure I was unhappy. But thankfully, he finally stopped pestering me this time and hung up quickly. I walked out of the bathroom in my dress, and both Emma and Abbey were amazing at me, and even Cathy was full of praise. I was a little embarrassed by their praise. The time soon came to evening. The setting sun on the horizon dyed half of the sky red, a
Devin' POV: I'm here today for the coming-of-age ceremony of the Alpha heir to the Cancer pack, but it wasn't until I saw the woman standing by the river that I realized the source of the scent I've been searching for was here! What about Lucy? My child's mother, where had she gone? Did she give up on me and our daughter? Was absurd! It was totally absurd! I could not accept it! The Goddess of the Moon was definitely fooling me! I couldn't wait to immediately go up and grab the woman and ask why I could smell the scent from her body! But now that the little werewolf's coming-of-age ceremony was about to begin, I should be patient and stand silently beside the pre-arranged fire ring. As a result, the torches handed over by others stood quietly and silently. When night falls, the werewolves in the woods hold torches and scatter on both sides of the fire ring. Ahead waw the unreachable grand canyon and the vast and boundless world. The silver glow of the moon falls in the canyon a
Brooklyn's POV: The man in front of me, Devin Black, was a well-known god of war among the werewolf tribe. Before I met Hale, I heard that he had fought single-handedly and defeated other races who tried to invade their tribe with one enemy and ten... Tall, mighty and reliable, if there was no match for the Goddess of the Moon, I was afraid that he would become the prince figure in the eyes of many girls. I could already hear my heart beating wildly as soon as he came to talk to me. But I already have a mate. Normally, it was impossible to be attracted to other Alpha werewolves! "Maybe the Goddess of the Moon made a mistake." Editha suddenly said in my mind, "Perhaps your mate should be a brave and fearless person like the god of war, not a villain like Hale who only rages on women." Editha already had a problem with Hale for a long time, and now she had a chance to complained, "Do you want to consider..." "Editha!" I hurriedly stopped her from going on. "I have a mate, and it
Devin' POV: I was actually behind that big tree, about 500 meters away from Brooklyn. But a werewolf's hearing was different from ordinary humans. We could heard sounds from a kilometre away. After the ceremony, I didn't go to the party held by the Aaron family but quietly went to the other side of the river while no one was looking. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the time when no one was disturbing me, and think about this series of changes, facing the full moon. But not long after I arrived, I heard the voice of a woman crying. I stuck my head out and found it was Brooklyn. Her playful and smart yellow dress had been taHale off. She should have just transformed from a werewolf into a human form. At this time, she was naked, crying and shouting at the tree hole, her hair was wrapped around her cheeks, and her tears and snot were flying. Totally not the helpless and shy look just now. At this time, Brooklyn was embarrassed. She may have encountered some misfortune. She
Brooklyn's POV: I was so tired yesterday that I almost woke up after dawn. When I woke up, I almost couldn't open my eyes. I didn't see my family when I went downstairs, only a few servants were busy. "Good morning Brooklyn." An Omega came towards me. Her name was Emily. She was a cute girl with two pigtails and freckles on her face. Her mother was also an Omega, called Lydia, who worked as a servant in my house in her twenties. These years Lydia worked and served us was equivalent to watching me grow up. "Did you sleep well last night?" She pointed my eyes. I was stunned for a moment, only to realize that she should be saying that there was something wrong with my eyes. Maybe I cried too sadly last night, my eyes were still swollen. "I had too much fun yesterday." Emily kindly didn't ask any further but went to the bathroom to help me get a wet towel, and let me put it on my eyes to reduce the swelling. "Breakfast? Lydia made avocado sandwiches and mushroom bisque," Emily said
Brooklyn's POV: Margaret said her father, the pack on my grandfather's side, had a dangerous ritual to break the mate bond. But the price was that the werewolf who performs this ritual would become a wanderer. Such people were at the bottom class of the werewolf world and will be looked down upon. And, it is possible to never become a werewolf again. No, this was horrible! "You want me to be a wanderer?" I couldn't believe Margaret would make such an opinion, and stood up. "Do you think the proposal of being an Alpha, but never being able to turn into a werewolf, would be better than being tortured like this by Hale?" She was my biological mother! How could she make such a ridiculous suggestion! "My dear child, listen to me," Margaret stood up and tried to explain, "I didn't ask you to do this ritual right away, I just wanted you to think about it. It's very hard to spend a lifetime with someone who's not right for you. Although the results of this ritual were not satisfactory,
