Francis’ POVIt was not surprising that Angel asked me to take it. She was still mad at me, and I better answer the question.“Well, it’s a … long story. She didn’t know that we were mates, but she had a feeling for me. And it just happened. We become lovers. Actually, my pack rule forbids her to know my true identity and my gift before the ceremony, but we love each other and it’s difficult to keep a secret from each other. We had many misunderstandings, but nothing beats love,” I said and looked at Angel, but she averted her gaze and didn’t want to face me.
Erika's POV I stood under a tree, my sharp eyes scanning all the soldiers on the field. A hundred strong warriors were fighting each other fiercely. Each one was using a weapon that I had designed for them. Yes, this was my gift. As a young girl who had just turned eighteen, I looked like the thinnest and weakest one on the training ground. However, if anyone took me lightly for that, they would pay dearly. Not only was I the Gamma of the Fly Rock Pack, a genius at fighting, but I was also the arsenal of this pack. I could summon any weapon I wanted effortlessly. As a Gamma, I was responsible for selecting soldiers and training them. I also divided them into different groups according to their abilities. I made weapons for the strongest warriors according to their strengths and weaknesses. I was very confident that each of these soldiers was strong enough to fight ten. That was why I made that seemingly reckless decision. Every soldier focused on knocking down the riv
Erika's POV I looked at him with my lips tightly shut, then shook my head without hesitation. He didn't seem surprised by my decision, but he closed his eyes, tears oozing down from the corners of his eyes. He looked miserable. "Go back." I mind-linked. He turned around and slowly walked forward as all the soldiers watched. Suddenly, at some point, he screamed and started running wildly. Orsen gave me a worried look. I waved my hand and told them the plan continued. In total darkness, we marched toward the Westford pack. I look up at the sky from time to time. Tonight the moon was different from usual, it was big and round and low, as if I could reach it by throwing my dagger. And the moon was blood-red, hinting at the bloody scene that was about to go on. An hour later, the Westford Pack. We hid in the grass at the border. I glanced at Orsen. He nodded, stood up slowly, and waved his hand. A group of men stood up after him, marching towards the gate, with weapo
Erika's POV When I came around again, I found myself in my room. Everything seemed normal, what happened last night was like a nightmare, but I knew nothing was right. Orsen knocked me down last night, but I could guess what happened. We retreated successfully while two-thirds of my warriors could never escape from the Westford pack. At this thought, tears streamed down my face. Maybe they were right. I was too young for a Gamma. Suddenly, the door opened. Charles and Steve walked over. I knew what Steve was up to. He came to take my place. Charles looked worn with dark circles under his eyes, but Steve was the opposite. He didn't even hold back his triumphant smile. "Erika," Charles began to speak and his voice was hoarse. I lowered my eyes and didn't dare to look at him. "We had a meeting this morning. We decided that you won't be the Gamma from now on," Charles said slowly. "I accept it, but I want to know who'll be the new Gamma," I mind-linked them calmly.
Erika's POV He jumped up and tried to slash my head with one claw. He was indeed very strong and he could knock out a strong adult wolf with one blow. So I turned around and ran quickly. I climbed on a wall, flipped in the air, and stepped on Steve’s one eye hard and my nails left two long wounds on his face. I landed on the ground safe and sound. "Traitor!" I mind-linked him. At my words, he revealed a sly smile on his face. "It's really you! Why did you give me the wrong map? Did you know how many people died because of you?" His words gave me an emotional breakdown. "Because I should be the Gamma without you!" He mind-linked me as he launched another attack with a roar. I fell down and rolled on the ground to avoid his attack. "What a fabulous challenge! Steve is hurt heavily but he keeps attacking. He really has an incredible tolerance for pain," the host said. I rolled to the corner of the ground and got up. Blood was all over Steve’s face and neck. But he still le
Erika's POV A bunch of men got out of the car and went toward the entrance, with two men in the lead, Charles and the man who was supposed to be the alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. But he didn't look like a monster at all. Actually, he was handsome. He even seemed quite debonair in the black suit and tie. Was he really the alpha of the Blood Moon Pack? It hardly seemed so. It was impossible to relate this man to a savage monster, but Charlie's respectful attitude said otherwise. And he was indeed strong and tall. I bet he was more than six feet tall. They began to exchange greetings. But I didn’t care what they were talking about. I heard that his name was Derek. It was a beautiful name. And his voice was husky and low. As a fighter, when I met a stranger, I could immediately tell how many blows he could stand. But he seemed unfathomable. As he walked closer, I saw his face clearly. He was so handsome that my heart pounded fast the instant I saw his face. It was for sure th
Erika's POV To make things worse, my wolf woke up at that moment. She asked with astonishment, "Who is this handsome guy? I haven't seen such a good-looking man. Erika, I want him!" I rolled my eyes, twitched my lips, and asked her to stay silent. I dropped the hammer down, summoned a sword, and slashed it at Derek. He didn't move the slightest until my sword touched his hair. Suddenly, he raised his hand, held my wrist, and tightened his grip. I didn't even see clearly how he did it and the sudden pressure on my hand made me frown. The sword dropped to the ground. Before I could give him another blow with another hand, he wrapped his arms around my body. His chest was like a wall. I guessed he could lift me in the air with one hand and throw me 10 feet away. Then he pushed me to the ground. My head hit the ground. I tried to get up but my arm felt weak and my head was dizzy. "Just now, I didn't ask you a question. That's a decision," he said playfully as he crouched
Erika's POVI woke up when we passed a bumpy road. But I didn’t open my eyes. I knew Derek was beside me and I’d rather pretend to be asleep than face him.I felt better after a nap. Now I was thinking about how to escape while keeping my breath steady.It was all silent in the car. I pricked my ears and listened."Oh, shit!" I heard a man’s voice. He sounded angry but he had to keep his voice low. It must be the driver.Suddenly, I tilted toward Derek and fell on his legs. It was a sharp turn. What was happening? But I still pretended to sleep. I hated to be so close to Derek, but I had a feeling that it was a perfect chance to escape.The car stopped. The driver opened the door and got out. "Wow. Mate, you sleep like a log." Derek helped me up and then he also got out.As the door shut, I opened my eyes and looked around. I was the only one in the car and the engine was still running. Yes!I peeped at the window. Derek and the driver both walked to an obviously drunk man. I guessed
