Ryn quickly adapted to Denaya. Denaya's motherly nature made her comfortable, so the conversation was enjoyable. Occasionally, Ryn glanced at Albert, who never seemed to let her out of his sight. But who cares? Just let him glare at her all the time. Ryn was still annoyed with Albert's overprotective demeanor."He loves you so much," joked Denaya, which made Ryn instantly turn her attention to her. "Look! He can't stop looking at you," she continued."Let him go. He's a pain in the ass tonight," Ryn said with pursed lips.Denaya smiled as she squeezed Ryn's hand."People think he's a cold-blooded, cruel man. Ralph and I used to think so. But once we got to know him better, he wasn't what we thought he was." The woman looked at Albert, who was chatting with her husband. "He's our savior," she continued with a genuine smile."Yeah, he's a good guy," Ryn said.It was not only Ryn who felt this way. What people said about Albert's cruelty, she didn't find in him. And she hoped they weren'
The sound of the blow that landed on Elijah's face was painful. Alpha Rick Jhonson's son looked almost helpless. Albert beat Elijah until he could no longer deflect and only surrendered to the blows."Albert, stop! You'll kill him!" Ryn shouted.The shout went unheeded. Albert grabbed Elijah by the collar and lifted him."Albert!" Ryn shouted once again.Albert had gone too far. The Alpha had lost control and might as well have lost his mind. Elijah's life could be in Albert's hands if it weren’t stopped. Therefore, Ryn threw her heels on and rushed over to them. However, her steps were halted when a hand held her back. Ryn turned her head and saw Mike shaking his head."Don't! Albert wants to protect you from him," Mike warned.Ryn rounded her eyes in disbelief. "Are you out of your mind? Elijah could die!" she protested.How could she let Albert beat up an innocent man? She and Elijah hadn't done anything. Albert had just misunderstood. He wouldn't let Albert beat Elijah to death."
Instead of feeling flattered, being called a guardian angel broke Albert's heart. What would happen if Ryn discovered he wasn't as good as she thought? All of a sudden, Albert cared so much about Ryn's feelings."Will you forgive me?" Ryn tilted her head to be able to see Albert's face.The Alpha glanced at the girl, focusing on her hopeful gaze. He then let out a long sigh as he looked away."This is so unlike me," Albert muttered.Seeing the tension on Albert's face relax, Ryn flashed a wide smile. The girl unravelled her hug and then moved to Albert's front."I know you're a good guy," said Ryn, who then hugged Albert and landed the side of her face on his chest.Albert licked his lower lip while looking the other way. His hands were clenched into fists. Damn it! This girl made his heart tumble up and down. Albert, who was in a dilemma, hesitated to return the hug."Don't you want to hug me? At least to please me." Ryn looked up while pursing her lips.Swear by anything! Albert fel
"Lance," Ryn muttered as she glanced around.Albert scrolled his eyeballs, following the direction of Ryn's gaze but finding nothing."What are you looking for?" Albert asked."Lance," Ryn replied. "I'm sure Lance is here," she continued.That name always put Albert in a bad mood. The Alpha licked his lower lip and said, "He's not here. Go eat that ice cream before it melts."Ryn shook her head firmly."I'm sure he's here. He knows I like to add cinnamon to every dessert I eat. He's here," she said with conviction.Albert's eyebrows furrowed faintly. The look in his eyes demanded an explanation from the girl."Here." Ryn pointed to the ice cream glass in front of her. "At Wolfspring, only Lance knew I liked to do that. Do you remember? I didn't order this ice cream with cinnamon. But mine came with cinnamon. I'm pretty sure this isn't a coincidence. Lance must be here." Ryn explained at length and passionately.Albert sighed softly. Ryn's explanation made him hot inside. The man then
"They demand that you immediately crown Miss Ryn's position as Luna. I am afraid we will not have enough time to find the parchment." Jayden reported to Albert.The council members of the Golden Moon Pack, consisting of the pack elders, continued to urge Albert to crown Ryn as Luna immediately. A pack with Luna would always be whole. They needed a Luna to complete the Alpha's power."We need a little more time. I don't want to do something I'll regret later," Albert said."The longer you postpone it, the more they will be suspicious of your true motives," Jayden warned.Albert rubbed his face roughly. He couldn't do this. Every second that passed seemed to bind him more to the girl. The jealousy grew in his heart as he remembered how Ryn was so sad because of Lance. It made it even harder for him to suppress his feelings. Damn, Mate Bond! Albert would not be able to kill Ryn after crowning her Luna. So he would not do anything to the girl before knowing the prophecy on the parchment.
Maverick's words left Albert dumbfounded. What the hell did the damn guy mean? What had his father done in the past? Did Christian Dexter also get the same fate as him? Did that mean his mother was also a Bloodwolf?Albert's heads were arguing with each other until it was very noisy. In his information-hungry state, Maverick's words were a distraction."What's with your expression, Alpha Albert? Did I say something that hurt you?" taunted Maverick with a crooked smile.Albert gritted his teeth and pulled Maverick's collar roughly, causing the man's head to hit the metal bars hard. Fresh blood flowed from the temple. The old man groaned, then wiped the blood from the wound on his forehead. Maverick looked at the fresh blood on his fingertips and licked it off while closing his eyes."I never thought my blood would be this good," Maverick said of his psychotic behavior.Maverick's laughter ignited Albert's emotions. The Alpha tried hard to suppress his anger lest the old man provoke him
Albert was stunned by Sebastian's confession. Rituals by witches from the North unleash the power of the Alpha. What the hell was that?"It doesn't make sense," Albert commented. "My father was still an Alpha until he gave it to me. Does that mean the ritual failed, so the curse descended on me?" he wondered."I can't say it was a failure." Sebastian looked at Albert intensely. "There were some things that changed after the ritual. I'm sorry to say this, but that ritual also caused the beginning of the chaos in the Golden Moon Pack. Year after year, we invaded smaller packs. Since the ritual was performed, Alpha Christian was like a man who lost his soul. He became a bloodthirsty leader. He invaded smaller packs to expand his territory. Until Walter's betrayal was finally revealed," Sebastian explained.Albert frowned. "Does the ritual have anything to do with Walter's curse?" he asked.One by one, the threads began to connect in Albert's head. His father had never spoken clearly abou
Daydreams brought Albert further and further into anxiety. Should he choose the path of living as an ordinary werewolf? What rank would he belong to if he chose to give up his Alpha power? Ah, no! Being an Alpha was his destiny. He could not mortgage his pride as an Alpha just for love. This thought killed him. He would do it willingly if he could break the prophecy without losing his Alpha power. However, the risk he had to bear was too heavy. He would lose not only his Alpha power but also his pack."Alpha Albert!" called out one of Albert's men.The Alpha turned and saw a servant hobbling over to him."What's going on?" asked Albert, who read the servant's bad vibes.The servant stopped with a gasp."The herd from South River is heading this way," said the servant.Albert turned his body fully towards the servant. Both of his eyebrows were furrowed faintly."How did you know they were coming?" Albert asked."They-" The servant stopped talking when he heard shouting in the distance.
