Ryn stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself covered in blood. She was sad. Freemega taught her many things and gave her much love, affection, and protection. Everything she had never felt before was perfect, but cunning had destroyed it. Ryn deeply regretted Walter's hypocrisy. Everyone in Freemega respected him so much, treating him like an Alpha. His warm and thoughtful demeanor had everyone fooled.
"The smell of blood is disgusting!" Ryn relaxed her shoulders as she exhaled tiredly. "No wonder he won't kiss me. I'm so horrible," the girl said with immediate regret.
"Oh, Stupid! Seriously? Did I really expect him to kiss me? Curse my mind!" she cursed. Ryn shook her head and muttered, "This is so embarrassing! I don't think I'll dare to look at him again."
After lamenting her sadness and stupidity, Ryn thought of cleaning up immediately. She
Thousands of butterflies fluttered in her stomach. Albert's words of praise made the eighteen-year-old girl's heart melt. Albert Dexter, the Alpha of the Golden Moon Pack, was a man who looked about the same age as her brother. Why was he so charming? His smile, his gaze, and his voice—everything about him was an opiate that Ryn could not look away from."Do you like it?" asked Albert."Uh, wa-what?" The question made Ryn stammer. She blinked quickly with a stupid expression.Albert smiled slightly. "That dress. Do you like it?" he asked more specifically while pointing at Ryn’s dress with his eyes."Oh-um, this is... good. I like it," replied Ryn, who lowered her head while biting her lower lip.'Damn! He must be laughing at me,' the girl thought.
The sound of laughter could occasionally be heard. It was Albert and Ryn. And apparently, it wasn't just Jayden who noticed them. The other pack members were doing the same. Secretly, they watched Albert and Ryn, who seemed to be getting intimate on the first day the Alpha brought his mate to the palace."They're watching us," Ryn said when she accidentally caught the pack members stealing glances at them.Albert raised his gaze. He saw nothing but pack members doing their jobs. But he knew Ryn wasn't lying. Even though those people looked busy with their work, he was sure they were curious about the girl who was his mate."Do you feel disturbed? I'll ask them to leave the area if you like," Albert offered.Ryn quickly shook her head. "Oh, no, no! That's not necessary at all. Who am I to have that privilege?" she said.Albert looked displeased when Ryn said that."You are my mate, and you deserve privileges and good treatment from everyone, especially in this pack. So stop acting like
"He has it," Albert said upon seeing Jayden after escorting Ryn to her room.Jayden frowned, thinking for a moment about who Albert was talking about."Walter, he has the parchment," Albert explained as he swing his legs towards the library."Walter?" Jayden's jaw dropped. His footsteps quickly followed the Alpha. "It wouldn't surprise me if he knew about the prophecy, but about the parchment... I think he hid it from your father," he continued.Albert entered the library and went straight to one of the shelves where his father's book was kept. He brought it to the table and opened it."What are you looking for?" asked Jayden."I must have missed something in this book," Albert said.The Alpha flipped through the pages and read them carefully. Christian wrote everything he knew about the prophecy in detail in the book. Albert hoped to find other clues in the book. He did not want to rashly kill Bloodwolf before getting the parchment and knowing what was written in the prophecy."From
Albert's eyes did not look away from the hairpin he was holding. His brain kept trying to dig up memories where he had seen a carving like the one on the hairpin, but he found nothing. Albert couldn't remember.Occasionally, his attention was drawn to Ryn, who looked very happy because of the Freeemega members who joined the Golden Moon Pack. He did not expect Ryn would be that happy because she left them with a gaping wound."Daydreaming, huh?" Jayden's question surprised the Alpha. He sat down in the chair next to Albert while casting at Ryn. Then he eyed Albert and said, "Can't look away from her, hum?"Albert winked a few times. He turned to Jayden and put the hairpin in his pocket. Damn! Jayden caught him off guard."Do not speak out of turn! I'm not thinking about her," Albert argued."I was watching you, Alpha. You barely even blinked when you looked at her." Jayden pulled one corner of his lips up."It's just your feelings," Albert denied. "What about him? What did you get?" t
Ryn came to the Golden Moon Pack with nothing but what was attached to her body. Albert had only bought her a few pieces of clothing. And today, he would take Ryn to the city to buy more."I've never been to the city before," Ryn said."Oh?" Albert opened the car door for Ryn. After that, he half-ran around the front of the car and opened the left-side door. "Am I supposed to feel sorry for you?" he continued as he plopped down in the driver's seat."You're shitty!" grumbled Ryn with pursed lips as she fastened her seatbelt.The roar of the car's engine could be heard. Slowly, the wheels rolled away from the Golden Moon Pack and down the deserted road to the main road into the city."I know someone who once asked me to go to the city," Ryn said as she remembered someone who had asked her to go to the city.For some reason, Ryn's words irritated Albert. Ryn did not mention a name, but those words led Albert's mind to a name: Lance."I've only met her once, but she's very nice. She remi
The kiss plunged their souls into passion, temptation, and indescribable feelings. Albert and Ryn were so lost in the kiss that they didn't realize they were the center of attention for the people passing by. They clutched each other as if they didn't want to end the kiss and lose that intoxicatingly intimate moment. Until Albert finally remembered his aim. At that moment, Albert suddenly ended the kiss and moved away from Ryn."Sorry. This is a public area. We shouldn't be doing this here. I have to call someone." He excused himself as he walked backward and turned away.Ryn was honestly disappointed that the kiss had to end. But when she noticed where they were now, she understood. The girl looked around, then went to a bench and sat there."This is the sweetest kiss I've ever had," Ryn murmured. The girl bit her lip and wiped it with a finger, looking at Albert, who stood behind her while talking to someone on the phone."Am I in love with him?" Ryn shook her head faintly. She felt
Whoever she was, in Ryn's eyes, she was just a bitch who deserved to be beaten. What she did was out of line. What if she didn't manage to dodge in time? The boomerang would definitely crush her head. Ryn didn't respond to Darla's handshake. Instead, she made a fist and was ready to make a lesson out of the woman who had messed with her. A touch on the shoulder forced Ryn out of the scenario in her mind. The girl turned her head and saw Jayden stepping slightly in front of her as if trying to protect her. "What are you doing, Darla? She's our future Luna, and you almost killed her." Jayden's question implied a warning. "I just wanted to prove what people were saying about our future Luna," Darla replied casually. She didn't look guilty at all, despite nearly costing Ryn her life. "Don't make a mess of things. You know what Albert could do to you if your weapon hurt her," Jayden said. Darla shrugged with the corners of her lips pulled down. "That scares me," she said. The blonde w
Ryn took the bait that Darla threw out. She felt challenged to engage the woman, even though she knew Darla had a hidden agenda behind the invitation. But who cared? Ryn felt even more motivated to go one-on-one with the bitchy blonde. Ryn remembered the location Darla had mentioned well. On the day they had agreed to meet, Ryn prepared to head to the location. Sneaking out of the Golden Moon Pack's palace was not a difficult thing for Ryn to do. Let's say she was already an expert in this. So she did not need to make any more effort to leave the place. "Ryn," someone called out, causing the girl's steps to stop. Ryn turned slowly and saw an Omega carrying a shovel standing a few feet away with a questioning look. "Hi, Bryan." Ryn smiled stupidly as she scratched her non-itchy head. "You want to dig some dirt?" The stupid question just slipped out of Ryn's mouth. Bryan looked at the shovel in his hand, thinking Ryn's question was strange. But the man didn't question her. He shrugg
