Warning: Contains disturbing scenes** ** Elizabeth’s POVI am inside my house, waiting for Father to come home. He needs to come and help stop the wedding at all costs.Sighing by the window, I saw a bird flapping its wings rapidly. My eyes narrowed at the sealed rolled paper on its feet.‘A letter?’ For whom?The bird didn’t leave the window as if it was waiting for me to open it for her. Trusting my guts, I opened the window. Cute little bird entered my room and landed beautifully on my desk.“Did you come here for me?”Of course, the bird cannot talk. It only tilted its head, as if trying to understand my words.I looked around the house before getting the sealed letter from its feet. When I opened the note, I read the content.[“We will come and save you. Hogan is still unconscious, but he’s safe. Put your mother’s name on a small paper and give it back to the bird. - Regis”]The bird can only take small paper, and that’s why Regis’ message was so short. Still, this letter did
Regis’s POVOn the way to the Black Lake Pack, I looked outside the window with a small letter in my hand.The day was dark.Clouds covered the sun, and everything looked dull beneath the gloomy sky. Tonight, will be the full moon, but with this weather, the event would look lifeless; too dismal for a wedding day.“Even the Goddess of Moon is against this marriage,” I whispered, clenching Elizabeth’s letter which was brought by the small bird.The strongest Gypsy in the Green Forest, Diana. She is Elizabeth’s mother, and also my mother’s best friend.“Who would have thought that the necklace had already reached its owner,” Henry, who was sitting next to me, said. “Diana gave her necklace to your mother before she left our pack. It was her gift for you, Alpha because she prayed for your safety and for you to protect the person you treasure the most.”I almost burst out laughing at Henry’s words. It felt as if the Goddess of the Moon was playing a trick on us. She let me meet Elizabeth
Elizabeth’s POVThe cloudy sky cleared when night came. The night sky was picturesque, a black-to-navy gradient was the backdrop for the full moon.The moon was glowing red, loomed large, surrounded by an ethereal glow as millions of stars were sprinkled behind it. It was supposed to give me joy, but I was feeling suffocated instead.My tight corset made it difficult for me to breathe, and I felt imprisoned. I looked in the mirror and saw that my white wedding dress was so spotless, it seemed like a shame to risk the least dust. But looking at myself in the dazzling gown, I felt so nauseous.I wanted to tear this perfect dress to shreds, throw it on the floor, and spit on it. I had to resist the urge by clenching my fists.‘Regis will come to stop the wedding. Yet I must be ready for the worst-case scenario. If he can’t come, there is another way. I guarantee that.’Sighing, I looked at the Omega in our pack who was doing my nails.“We were told to trim your nails so you would not dam
Elizabeth’s POV “For the Black Lake People, you are God. However, your words would not affect me, Max. Because tonight, I declared myself as the people of Green Forest Pack.” When I said those words, everyone displayed dismayed expressions on their faces. No one expected that I would declare myself as the people of another pack, neither Father nor even Georgina. It was a plan that I made to save me and my Father. “You must be crazy!” Max shouted. “The audacity of saying you belong to another pack, while you are standing in this place! And who permits you to leave Black Lake? Without my words, you cannot exchange your pack as you please!” “With all respect, which is something you don’t deserve, my mother came from the Green Forest Pack. And she’s not an Omega, just like everyone thought. My mother is a Gypsy.” Gypsy – a position that only exists in mythical books. No one believed they existed, not until I met one, and discovered the power I also have in me. “Is Gypsy real?” “Th
Regis’s POV“If you rebel against the Association, that is the other way of cutting connections with the other packs, Alpha Regis. You and your people won’t be allowed to get food from the market, nor ask the other packs to provide you with goods. Simply, your pack will leave as a rogue as a whole. Are you willing to take the risk?” Roger asked the obvious thing.This is how they manipulate the other packs to follow their rules, even if it was so absurd. The packs were threatened to live as rogue packs, and they had no choice but to be submissive under the Association’s control.‘I could understand why they were scared. And to be honest, I was really shaken for a moment.’ Torn between my responsibility to the pack and my loyalty to the King and Queen.‘You chose the right plan, Philip.’ “You’re doing this because you were scared of the Alpha King,” I said in a loud voice.The soldiers of the Association looked at each other after hearing my words.‘I see. Not everyone in the Associa
Hogan’s POV In the deep abyss, I could hear voices around me. [“The Alpha King avoided the disaster. He’ll live. But it will take time to wake him up. Alpha Philip used a strong poison.”] Even in my unconscious state, I heard Philip’s betrayal. [“For taking care of Hogan instead of Regis, I owe you a lot, Henry.”] Elizabeth’s voice was too low and full of guilt. My wolf whimpered, asking me to wake up because he doesn’t want Elizabeth to blame herself. But my body couldn’t move, and my eyelids remained closed. ‘Please. Don’t blame yourself, my wife. None of this is your fault.’ [“I am sorry for leaving you behind, my king.”] Where are you going? No. Please don’t leave me, Elizabeth. [“Ever since we met, you saved me countless times. From the rogues, bears, boars, and most of all, you saved me from drowning to my deepest sorrow. Let me repay all the kindness and love you have shown me this time. Please understand my decision, my love. And believe me that the thought of leavi
Philip’s POV My first murder happened when I was a teenager. Father, the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, and I went out to the woods because he wanted to teach me how to hunt prey. During the hunt, he fought against wild rogues and was poisoned because the rogues did some tricks by putting lethal poison in the claws. Father was in great danger. In the middle of the woods, we found a female Gypsy who can cure my father. [“Please! I am begging you! Save the Alpha! Save my father!”] I could still remember how many times I begged the female Gypsy to save my father. However, the Gyspy declined to help. [“I don’t want to save the life of an evil man who killed the people of the Oak Walkers Pack.”] She left us, and I brought my father back to the Blood Moon Pack. The doctor said that he was already in critical condition, and there was no way to save him at all. Outside the room of my dying father, I accidentally heard my father’s last wish for his adopted son, Hogan. [“Please help Phi
“Alpha Max is in great danger! Elizabeth, please. If you are a Gypsy, please help our Alpha!” My eyes went to the man who was coughing blood.He was my mate.The mate who rejected me kidnapped me, threw me away, and then he came back because he regretted abandoning me. Now in that pitiful state, he’s looking at me with blood pooling from his mouth.Does he deserve my pity? Do I really need to help him?“Please, Elizabeth! Max is our Alpha! Please help him!” the Doctor pleaded.“Elizabeth!” Max’s father, who did nothing aside from watching, came closer with an apologetic look. “I know Max did a lot to you. But you were once a person of Black Lake. We need him to protect us. And before, didn’t he stand before you to protect you and show you that in the end, he did his job as your mate?”I was gaslighted. The former Alpha probably knew all the things Max did, but did he try to stop his son? No. He didn’t bat an eye because he thought I didn’t deserve his attention.“I am a person of Gre
