Discussions with pack leaders in the US that lasted up to ten hours resulted in many decisions. Among them were the important strategies for warfare in terms of numbers, position, timing, and natural conditions. We have utilized all the information we have.In exactly three days, a large-scale war would erupt. When I think about it, I'm constantly nervous and palpitating. However, on the other hand, I also couldn't wait to meet the leader of the black magicians.Currently, the rogues have been wiped out. The target of my anger at the injustice of my parents and aunt's deaths had turned to the black witches. Although there was not much written about them in my family's death report, I was certain that they had a large role in it. By risking my life, I will make them pay dearly for all the heinous deeds they have done."Luna, is there anything missing from that rifle? Please tell me, I'll immediately relay it to the researchers so they can get back to repairing it quickly."I turned to
Ruby O'Malley POV"Hey, mouse! Hurry up and get me some chocolate jam!""I'm on my way!"My quick steps echoed down the hallway. My fingers were busy putting an apron on my body. The few servants I passed stopped their steps for a moment to bow in respect.It's me, the eldest daughter of the Alpha Wildfire pack who has no wolves. Alpha is indeed my father, but I'm awkward to call him father. He and I only see each other once a year, and even then it's a silent dinner.The servants here did respect me because they were paid to serve, but not my family and pack members. They didn't like me because I was weak and didn't have a wolf, even though I was Alpha's eldest daughter."Hurry up! Are your feet snail feet?"I rolled my eyeballs. Hey, snails don't have feet! I felt like yelling that at her. But what could I do? My mother didn't like me being weak, my sister who liked to play tricks on me and incite the pack members to hate me, and Alpha who never showed any concern for me. I don't ha
"The eldest daughter, Ruby O'Malley, was displaced from first place and replaced by Arora O'Malley, the youngest daughter, who will be the next Alpha of the Wildfire pack," Mom broke off with a flat expression. Her face shone with the charisma of a Luna that could make everyone kneel before her.I smiled bitterly my gaze lowered again. I had expected this to happen. But still, something in my heart broke. The only position I have in this world has been taken away.Then, what will happen to me after this? I'm just a high school graduate who luckily graduated with only two years of study. Although people called me a nerd, teachers praised me as a smart girl. But, what good is that for now? I don't even have the power to leave the pack at will."It has been decided. Arora O'Malley is the next Alpha. Since she is a minor, she will be under my guidance and supervision," Mom said after seeing that no one had any objections."When should Alpha Arora's appointment take place?""It would be be
Pain radiated throughout my bloodstream. My heart seemed to be pressed from two directions until it felt suffocating. My wolf-who had just gotten up-was slowly backing away.I fell. My knees kissed the ground again. My hands clutched my chest and my vision blurred with tears. My breathing was labored. This was so painful."I, Ruby O'Malley, eldest daughter of Alpha Wildrfire pack, accept your rejection, Jack Montgomery," I said still in the same position. Slowly the pain eased, but not completely.He clucked. Staring intently at me in silence. His eyebrows drew together with a puzzled expression visible on his face."You don't have to pretend to do that. You don't have a wolf." He turned around and walked. Occasionally kicking a small stone that was in his way."Whatever. Maybe she's too hurt to fantasize."Jack's muttering rang clearly in my ears. I wasn't hurt by his rejection, but my wolf was. She repeatedly told me to chase after Jack and not just let him go. But I couldn't do tha
Arora O'Malley POVDamn! Where the hell is she right now?I stared at the clock on my phone screen. Biting my lower lip anxiously. My fingers didn't stop tapping on the arm of the sofa. Although I was sitting comfortably on the soft sofa, I felt like I was standing on the edge of thin wood.It seemed like I had made the wrong decision. I shouldn't have agreed to Jack's suggestion. He wanted to teach Ruby's sister a little lesson under the pretext of picking her up.They had a big fight a few years ago. It would have been risky if Ruby's sister had gotten seriously injured. Alpha King Triplets is someone cruel and powerful, I don't know what happens to my pack if he gets angry.No, aren't they just meeting today? The chances of Alpha King Triplets liking her or hating her were 50:50.A knock on the door made me rise to my feet. In this spacious room for the bride's room, there was only myself hoping that Ruby's sister would be found soon. Mom was mobilizing all the pack warriors and I
Arora O'Malley POVThe crowd of people around me was like an ocean. There was not a flaw among them, of course, except for where I was standing right now. There was not the slightest distance between them that made me claustrophobic just looking at them.The clock has struck the hour. Everything was ready, the wedding altar, the guests, and the groom, except that the bride didn't show up. And I knew the reason for the delay.Upset, angry, and scared. My feelings were all mixed up. I was angry that the Celestial Dawn pack members kept giving me and my pack members. I was upset at Jack, my chosen mate, for crossing the line. I feared the worst for daring to play around with the Alpha King Triplets.I turned my head, looking at my mother who was as agitated as I was. Of course, this was her plan. There was no way she didn't know how big the risk was if this plan failed.Two of the three brothers of the Alpha King Celestial Dawn pack were standing on the altar. Their aura was enough to me
It wasn't what I expected when I heard their entitlement-demanding advances. They didn't force me the first night on the day I opened my eyes. I was too weak and confused at the time. And all that time they were trying to get closer to me.Zeph for Zephyr, Zai for Zaire, and Zach for Zacharias. I had gotten used to calling them by their nicknames. Although they were my mates and husbands, I never expected them to be so kind to me.They were warm as if they wanted to be a thick blanket for my body that easily gets cold when I'm sick. They were gentle as if I were a branch that was easily broken. And they treated me sweetly as if they wanted to erase all the bitter memories in my life.Why? Why are they so kind to me? Is it because of the bond between us? If it was like that, I would have gotten love from my family long ago."No, forget that." I shook my head. I need to focus on myself right now.Three days ago I might have been able to dodge, but not tonight. This day was set, the day
My body froze. My gaze was fixed straight ahead. Even after the thumping sound passed through my ears, I still couldn't jerk my consciousness."Don't look at it."A familiar voice droned on in place of the sound of liquid flowing. His large hand obscured my view and dug into my almost completely submerged consciousness.My limp body which was about to fall backward was hugged tightly by Zaire. I took refuge in his body. I took refuge from the tragic scene before me.The loud voice that echoed earlier belonged to Zephyr. Then Zephyr and Zacharias, who were in the front row, ran like the wind and gave the two servants deep scratches on their necks. Meanwhile, Zaire, who was among the swarm of Celestial Dawn pack's important people, ran straight at me."Forget about that scene. Pretend you never saw it."Zaire's heavy voice calmed my panic. But I still couldn't pretend to forget. How could I forget the neck being slashed so hard and the head rolling across the floor like a marble? How cou
