Dominic’s POV (Nox’s Beta) “The Alpha King is doing well. I patched up the wound on his head, and with his fast healing abilities, he'll be back to normal in no time," the Pack's doctor informed me. I let out a sigh upon hearing the news. Then, I turned my attention to Alpha Nox, who was sitting on the bed with a bandage wrapped around his head. At the moment, he wasn't wearing his mask. Only a select few were allowed to see the Alpha King's face, and that included me and the Pack's doctor. "Thanks, Doc. You can leave now," I instructed. The doctor nodded before exiting the room. Sighing for the second time, I approached Alpha Nox and asked him, “How do you feel?” “Shit,” he answered. “I feel shit.” He looked at me, saying, “Here in my Pack, someone tried to harm my Luna. OF COURSE, I WILL FEEL SHIT.” Alpha quickly spun around in response to Etizia's call, spotting a figure on the terrace holding a bucket of water. It became clear that Luna Etizia was the intended target all a
Etizia’s POV He held my body tightly and swallowed my lips. I was so surprised, even though there’s nothing to feel that way since I had anticipated this would happen ever since he warned me to escape while I still have time. But still, I was bewildered. Was it because of his kiss that wasn’t just a peck or a slow romantic movement? Alpha Nox persistently dug his tongue into my mouth, meeting my own tongue that had no choice but to dance along with his. “Hmm,” an odd sound came out of my lips. As if Nox hated to lose even that single tune, he licked my lips over and over. My body trembled. I gripped his collar with my fingers as I felt the heat growing in my body. He’s a good kisser. I had to admit that his tongue made me feel so good. Every time he swirled his tongue in and out of my mouth, my knees wobbled. His kisses were like a bolt of electricity, paralyzing my soul. We were so absorbed in this kiss that it took me a bit late to realize that my husband was slowly movi
Phia’s POV (Etizia’s stepsister) The party was completely ruined. Every single guest left in disappointment, and I, filled with anxiety, also made my way back home. This unfortunate turn of events was all because Father saw straight through me. "Was it you?" Father interrogated. "Were you the one who orchestrated this cruel act against your own sister?" Trembling with fear, I stammered, "D-Dad. I swear... It was a mistake! I only wanted to embarrass Etizia. I instructed the spy to simply pour water on her! But that imbecile made a grave error. It was an accident that the entire bucket ended up drenching Etizia!" “Ha! It wasn't Etizia you hurt. It was the Alpha King!" My dad yelled, causing me to close my eyes in regret. "Do you realize what will happen if Alpha Nox discovers that we planted spies in his Pack and nearly killed your sister? He won't just kill us but everyone in our Pack!" he exclaimed. Desperately, I grabbed onto my father's shirt and pleaded, "Father, please lis
Dominic’s POV (Beta of Nox) My Alpha King seems to be in a bad mood at the moment. I was worried that it was because I forgot to inform him about Luna Etizia's visit, and he might be exposed since he was not wearing his mask. Luckily, I managed to locate the maid who attempted to harm Luna Etizia with a heavy bucket, which is why I am still alive up to this point. Observing from behind the Alpha, I see him standing menacingly in front of the Omega maid, who is sitting on the ground with tears in her eyes. "Was it you?" Alpha Nox snarled, his voice filled with anger. The maid dropped to her knees, her eyes filled with fear. "I'm so sorry! Please, I didn't mean to hit Luna with the bucket. I was just trying to throw the water. But it slipped from my hands and..." Her words were cut off as the Alpha pressed his sharp claws against her neck. She froze, meeting his icy gaze. "I have no intention of showing mercy. You know that death is the only punishment. So, if you want a pa
Etizia’s POV "Regrettably, the person playing the piano is your brother-in-law," Alpha Nox said. I nervously gripped the fabric of my skirt while gazing at my husband. It was strange how, just moments ago, he had asked me if I preferred someone who could play the piano well, and now he was mentioning Timothy playing the piano? How odd is that? For a brief moment, I wondered if Nox had somehow discovered my past relationship with his older brother. However, if that were the case, he wouldn't be as calm as he appeared to be right now. 'Don't jump to conclusions. It's probably just a coincidence. Nox might not know anything,' I reassured myself silently. Nevertheless, it was definitely suspicious that Nox had invited me to have a meal with his brother. “Wow. He can play so well, right,” I murmured, not wanting to stay quiet for a long time because he might notice my bewilderment. Nox nodded his head and said, “Yeah. But I will not appreciate it if you fall for my brother.” I gu
Nox’s POV The report on my older brother's previous relationship arrived. It revealed that he used to date a she-wolf with Omega blood from an unknown Pack. This woman resided in a cabin near the city and sold fruits. Even though I didn't know her name, I instantly recognized who it was. IT WAS MY MATE. MY WIFE. MY LUNA. With this knowledge, everything that happened before started to make sense. I understood why Etizia appeared so shocked upon seeing him and why Timothy acted so emotionally, ultimately choosing to reside in my castle. Timothy is the rogue who caused my mate to fall in love with him, only to eventually abandon her and subject her to humiliation. I gave way for my mate’s happiness, but he dared to hurt her?! I was so mad that I wanted to beat my brother right away. But then, I realized that his rejection resulted in my marriage with Etizia. I can tolerate them hiding their past relationship from me. I was hiding something from Etizia as well. What I can’t tolerat
Timothy’s POV It wasn’t worth it. Leaving Etizia and sacrificing myself wasn’t worth it. When I saw her being affectionate with my brother, I decided to fight against my fate. Good thing Nox found out about our relationship, giving me a valid excuse to get Etizia again., I extended my hand and offered her, "Etizia, I know I've made countless mistakes. But I've regretted them. So, I've come up with a plan for us. Run away with me.” I could see the doubt in Etizia's eyes. She seemed to trust Nox, but she appeared troubled when I revealed that Nox had killed our father to seize the Alpha King position. She needs to be scared of him. She needs to stay away from him. She needs to leave him and come with me instead. And she will do that. Because she loves me, and I love her. Etizia locked eyes with me and shared, "Nox told me something when you were gone. He doesn't care about my past - who I dated or loved. All he wants is my loyalty." She gave a small smile before adding, "I wo
Etizia's POV Sitting next to the window in my room, I couldn't help but think about the spot where I encountered Timothy. It wasn't because I was contemplating his proposal to escape with him, but rather because I was troubled by his claim that Alpha Nox was responsible for their father's death. 'Could Nox really have done such a thing to gain power?' 'Maybe he had a good reason,' my wolf chimed in, trying to defend my mate's actions. I glanced over at the maid, who was tidying up my room. "Hanny," I called out. Hanny turned towards me. "Yes, Luna?" she responded. "Have you ever met the former Alpha King and the Alpha of Renoir?" I inquired. Hanny shook her head. "I'm afraid not. By the time I arrived here, he was already dead." "I see." "But I've heard things about him," she added. "He was a ruthless Alpha King who was feared by many. He's violent and wouldn't hesitate to watch a member of his Pack die. The previous Alpha King didn't believe in peace. And also," she paused,
