Brooklyn's POV: "It's all because of you!" Hale, like a rabid wolf, shouted at me, "Since you married me, my parents and I have lived a miserable life. My father died. The painting exhibition failed! I had poured a lot of heart and soul into it. And now you even tell me that you want to go back to your parent's house! Why do you want to go back? To tell them how I torment you?" I was scared! After Hale and I confirmed our mate relationship, I got married to him I did soon. I tried so hard to satisfy the demands of him and his mother. I never dared to disobey their orders. So I always followed their hearts. But he was like a tyrannical King. He didn't let me go out, meet my friends, and contact my parents. He would always blame me like the food was salty, the grocery store's income had a problem, etc. If he found some "problematic" records on the ledger, even just a penny, he would directly grab me by the hand, as if I was a thief and stole his money. Usually, he questioned me wit
Brooklyn's POV: "I..." After I hesitated for a moment, I took it to Hale. In fact, even if Hale did tear up the invitation and the letter, I wouldn't change my mind to go back. I couldn't let Hale know about it. Or, he would try to stop me. As soon as I took it out, Hale couldn't wait to grab it, throw the invitation on the table, tear the envelope directly and take the letter out. After a while, he suddenly read it out loud, "This letter is to sincerely invite you and Hale to come to Moore's Alpha enthronement ceremony. We have also invited Alpha Devin of Aries pack, Alpha Roland of Capricornus pack, and..." He shook the letter as if he was shaking something that was extremely distasteful but stuck to his hand. He mocked at me, "I can't believe that... these people are specifically mentioned in this invitation...does your father plan to help you reelect mate?" "No, Hale, allow me to explain, please." I was afraid to see his current expression as if I had done something wrong to h
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 f
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
