Alisha’s POVI had to maintain the facade of a perfect wife in front of Joey, so I forced myself to respond to Archie's question with a smile, "I'm sorry, honey. I was asked to help with the cooking." I said this deliberately, knowing that Archie would be upset if he found out his wife was being mistreated by others. While he might not care about me personally, as the ruler of the Golden Crest pack, he wouldn't tolerate anyone challenging his authority.Indeed, Archie glared at Joey and Aunt Patria after hearing my words. He snapped, "Why do you need my wife, the Luna of the Golden Crest, to serve you?""No, Archie, I... I just thought that Alisha is good at cooking, so..." Patria tried to explain, her face turning pale under Archie's intense gaze.I was pleased to witness this scene, but Joey hurried to come to my aid, saying, "Alisha, we treat you very well, don't we?"Suppressing my laughter, I replied, "Archie, I was more than willing to help. You've always enjoyed the dishes I ma
Alisha's POVAfter I got into the car, I expressed my gratitude to Brad, saying, "Thank you for your help just now.""It's no problem. I was simply following the Alpha's orders. He had some urgent matters to attend to, so he asked me to take care of you," Brad replied.I smirked and asked with curiosity, "Really? So, what was it that he needed to deal with?"Brad glanced at my expression through the rearview mirror and hesitated before speaking, "Um...actually, I...I guess it is a business meeting."I caught his gaze in the mirror, but Brad quickly averted his eyes and focused on the road ahead. It was evident that he was helping Archie conceal some embarrassing secret from me, which made him feel guilty.There was no point in pressuring Brad further. After all, he wasn't my husband. With that in mind, I turned my head away and stared out of the window. However, it soon dawned on me that we weren't heading towards Nova's house but..."Wait, Brad! Where are you taking me?" I asked imme
Alisha's POV"Miss, can I assist you?" he stepped out of the car, extending a black umbrella over my head. I flinched slightly as he approached, my uneasiness apparent. Sensing my discomfort, he promptly halted."Don't worry. I too am a werewolf from the Deep Moon pack. I can sense our shared nature. I won't hurt you. Please trust me." He locked his genuine blue eyes with mine.As I beheld those eyes, familiarity struck me—I had encountered him before! After a heated argument with Archie, I had fled and inadvertently collided with this man. To my surprise, he held no grudges and even offered me a tissue to wipe away my tears!A sigh of relief escaped me as I recollected the encounter. At least he wasn't a malevolent individual.As my tension eased, I couldn't suppress a sneeze.It was an embarrassingly awkward moment. Lowering his head, he asked with concern, "Are you alright?"Before I could respond, another sneeze erupted, intensifying my embarrassment.He furrowed his brow and gall
Alisha's POVJust after I angrily ending the call, Nova rushed downstairs upon hearing my voice, immediately noticing my drenched state and the borrowed coat."What happened, Alisha? You're completely soaked!" Nova exclaimed with concern."Long story, Nova. Damn Archie drove me out of his car, and the weather was against me today. But I met someone who helped me, and he lent me his coat," I explained.Nova raised an eyebrow, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Oh, really? I wanted to curse Archie, but please let me know who might this someone be?"I blushed, realizing how it sounded. "No, it's not what you're thinking! He's a werewolf too, from the Deep Moon pack. I hit him accidently before, and he recognized me today."Nova's eyes widened in surprise. "Wait, you mean that guy you met when you ran away from Archie? The one who gave you a tissue?"I nodded, a smile playing at my lips. "Yes, that's him. His name is Louie. He is genuinely kind and offered me shelter from the
Alisha’s POVThe next morning arrived, and I sought Nova's assistance in finding a suitable jewellery store where the ring could be rented out. I hurried back to the Golden Crest myself.As I stepped through the front door, a wave of memories washed over me, like an old photograph coming to life. The house, with its familiar layout and cozy corners, held stories of a life I loved very much before. But today, I had found my new life, and I couldn't let nostalgia distract me.In the heart of that house, I found my way to the kitchen. It was a place that had always offered solace, a sanctuary where I could lose myself in the art of cooking. Today, it became my refuge, a way to shield myself from the inevitable conversation with Archie.As I cooked, the aroma of the food filled the air, awakening a mix of emotions within me. It reminded me of the times when I used to cook meals for Archie. Since I married him, I worked hard to research what he liked to eat, trying to please him in this way
Alisha’s POV "Hi, Louie, I am Theresa, I am very sorry to trouble you. I remember you are from Deep Moon. I want to hire ten warriors to protect the Black Furies. Could you help me get in touch with them? I'm willing to offer a generous reward." With a hopeful mindset, I made a call to Louie. After all, he was the only werewolf from another pack that I knew. "Fine, Theresa. I'll have to ask my Alpha. We sometimes would accept the protection task, so it shouldn't be a problem. But I'd like to know, why do you need to hire warriors? It's important for us." "We received information that a group of rogues from the Dark Forest will be reaching our territory. We're concerned about a potential conflict. Our own... honestly speaking, we're not skilled in combat." As I said this, my face flushed with embarrassment. Though it was true, our pack had few warriors, and even my own ability was limited to wound healing. I couldn't shift or engage in battle, so this Gift was useless in fact. "Alri
Alisha's POVAs I read that tweet, a wave of disgust surged within me. Even though Erma had no idea that I was Theresa, her words still made me uncomfortable. It was a reminder that regardless of which identity I assumed, Erma remained my enemy.In the next moment, Nova's call came through."Alisha, did you see Erma's tweet? How dare she have the audacity! That despicable woman!""Yes, I saw it.""She claims the company ultimately chose her. Disgusting! She's lying! She's deliberately using Theresa to elevate herself!"I let out a sigh. "Let it go. Since I've already sold the rights to the song, let them do as they please. I've had a tiring day, Nova.""Alisha, well, I have some good news that might bring a smile to your face once you hear it!""What is it?" I asked curiously."Why don't you take a guess?" Nova replied, feigning mystery."Please spare me, sweetie. I really can't guess. You know how difficult things have been for me lately, all because of that jerk Archie. Today, I nea
Alisha's POV "What do you mean?" Erma looked at me alertly. "As the Luna of the Golden Crest, I, commanded you to kneel now!" I snarled with the Luna's tone. Upon hearing my command, Erma's face was filled with reluctance, but she couldn't defy Luna's request. Slowly, she knelt down, glaring at me with a burning desire to tear me apart. "Archie will avenge me! Just you wait!" I ignored her furious gaze. "Suit yourself. I'll be waiting for him." With that, I grabbed Nova's hand and left the store. Erma roared behind us, unwilling to accept defeat. "Everyone knows Archie's mother is very dissatisfied with you and is already looking for a mistress for him to have a baby. Once I give birth, your days are numbered!" Nova was furious. "You should take her out now while you're still Luna! She stole your husband and dares to threaten you! She's despicable!" I shook my head and whispered to Nova, "I can't do it. Despite the ceremony between me and Archie, he hasn't marked me, and I don't
