What's wrong?Darla's words made Ryn overthink. The girl left Darla's room with a hollow heart in her chest. What does it mean to mate if there is never a claim from the mate? Ryn walked dreamily, thinking about the reason Albert never claimed her."Is it true? Doesn't he want me?" muttered Ryn.The girl relaxed her shoulders. Her feet shuffled down the corridor. Damn! Darla's words were so provocative that they filled her mind with anxiety. Albert had indeed introduced himself as the Future Luna to the entire pack. However, the man needed to do what he was supposed to do. It was as if being the Luna in the pack was just a formality she had to go through as the Alpha's Mate. How pathetic!"Should I ask him directly?" Ryn chuckled, then sighed. "That would make me look like a bitch who needs confession. No! That would be ridiculous!""Pst!"Amid her agitation, Ryn heard a voice."Pst! Over here." The whispered voice sounded again.Ryn turned her head, looking for the direction the voic
Since when did Albert become an impulsive person? The Alpha of the Golden Moon Pack, famous for his cruelty and strength, suddenly became extremely impulsive because of a girl. This was an extremely embarrassing setback.Damn! Ryn was messing up Albert's mind. How could he promise that to the mate he was going to kill?"I shouldn't have said that. Now she will surely wish for all that," Albert regretted.Once he marked Ryn, the bond would get stronger. The stronger the bond, the harder it would be to break it."Damn it! Aargh!" Albert swept the table's surface with his hand, causing everything to fall to the floor.The Alpha placed both hands on the table. He breathed heavily as if his lungs burned with emotion inside his chest. He had never felt so stupid as when he was lost in feelings.What the hell was this? What was happening to him? Why had he become this weak?He was Alpha Albert Dexter, a man who could kill while looking into his opponent's eyes. But now he was so weak because
Ryn wrote something down on paper. She folded it neatly and called Maina. "Take this to Darla's room," Ryn ordered. Maina accepted the paper and said, "Yes, Miss." "And don't you dare to open it! Do you understand?" Ryn said so in a warning tone. "I understand," Maina replied. Ryn leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed. A faint smile was etched on her lips, and her eyes looked at the maid's retreat. Ryn kept her promise to Darla. This time, she was more prepared to fight with the woman. Ryn wanted to prove that Darla's victory in the previous fight was just a fluke. "See you there, Darla," Ryn said in a low voice. In addition to making up for her defeat, Ryn also wanted to prove to Darla that what she had said about the mark was unproven. Ryn believed in Albert. She would no longer listen to Darla's nonsense. Ryn chose a day when Albert was not in the palace. The girl snuck out, like before. This time she was more careful, so she escaped the castle without anyone c
This was a disaster. The danger alarm inside Ryn's head lit up, roaring with a blinding red light."Albert?" squeaked the girl.Ryn thought the man was not in the palace. She'd heard him directly—just eavesdropping—as Albert and Jayden talked about a business meeting with an Alpha from another pack that couldn't be delayed any longer. They would be gone for three days on business. Then why was Albert suddenly at the palace on the second day after his departure?"I asked, where have you been?" asked Albert in a deep voice that gave Ryn goosebumps.The girl gulped and licked her lips."I-I... err... I'm not from anywhere, just getting some fresh air," Ryn lied."You're lying!" said Albert.Ryn's eyes rounded. She had just thought of an excuse to be evasive, but Albert first showed her something that shut her up. A paper in her handwriting that should have been in Darla's hand."Maybe you can explain it with this." Albert showed the note she had given Maina to hand over to Darla.'Damn i
The burning anger seemed to fuel Albert, and Ryn's passion heated up even more. The fire of passion had dampened the fire of anger in their chests. They were equally hot and soul-burning. No more forced kisses. There were only two people who wanted each other.Albert pushed Ryn until the door behind the girl opened. He didn't stop there. Albert then closed the bedroom door with his foot, ensuring they were separated from the free space for privacy. With lips reluctant to unlink, Albert lifted the girl's body, carried her to the bed, and laid her down carefully. It was as if Ryn was a fragile object that could easily break. The Alpha held her dominantly, showing that he was in charge.For a moment, the kiss was paused with a sharp intake of breath. The two pairs of eyes stared at each other amidst the rush of warm breath hitting each other's faces. The pheromones that emanated felt so thick. It signaled that they wanted each other just as strongly."You're in heat, huh?" Albert spoke i
"A werewolf will be born at the peak of the red moon. She is the chosen one. She will bring great power to eternity, destruction, and death to her Mate."The sentence was written very clearly on the parchment. It was a sentence that showed how powerful the ability of the "chosen one" in the prophecy was.However,"How can you interpret it? I don't even know what language it's written in," Jayden asked curiously.Albert shook his head."I have no idea. I don't know, either. It's all just in my head," Albert replied.Indeed, only certain people could read the writing on the parchment. Only those who were the "chosen one"'s Mate could interpret it."I remember," Albert said as he turned quickly to Jayden. "These words are the same ones my father once showed me. He once handed me a piece of paper. He wrote some words and asked me to read and interpret them. I think my father took the words from the parchment," he added.Jayden opened his jaw as he nodded his head."I think I know why Alph
Ryn's eyelids blinked softly. The scent of romance lingering on her body made the girl smile. Still, with her eyes closed, Ryn hugged the thick blanket that covered her body."I love you, Albert," she murmured as she opened her eyes.It was an amazing experience. Seeing that she was still naked, Ryn was sure what happened was not just a fantasy. She and Albert were doing it. Then the girl touched her neck, where Albert had left his mark. Once again, the girl's lips turned up in a smile."I knew I could trust you," Ryn said.It was only right that she did not listen to Darla's ramblings about Albert not wanting her. Albert even marked her before the mating ceremony, as he had promised. Wasn't that enough to prove that Albert wanted her?"She must know about this," the girl said.Ryn removed the blanket and then carried her naked body to the bathroom. Although it was hard for her to wash Albert's scent off her body, she had to do it.After cleaning up, Ryn immediately went to Darla's ro
Sebastian's last sentence struck Ryn's mind like a lightning bolt. The girl covered her gaping mouth with tears that fell uncontrollably."Reject your mate and marry another woman."That sentence was like a double-edged sword. Every word was equal to a gesture, which was extremely painful. Unable to contain her sadness, Ryn left with a gaping heart.Meanwhile, in the room, Albert couldn't believe Sebastian would say that. He shook his head slowly."That's no way," Albert said."I told you before," Sebastian said."I couldn't possibly do it. I love her, Uncle." Albert said aloud."That's how your father felt at the time. Therefore, he never dared to take such a gamble." Sebastian agreed.Indeed! Albert would never be able to reject Ryn as his mate. He had marked her. He could not possibly leave the girl without leaving her devastated, just as he would be ruined. That option would not enter into his consideration."But," Sebastian said, which caused Albert to shift his attention. "This
