"Prepare the operating room immediately!"Landon Atticus hurriedly ordered the Omegas as he received the news that the battle was over. Xylvaneth had won. Teagan had succeeded in killing Pablo, but not without sacrifice. Many wolves were injured, and among them was the least expected casualty.All the operating rooms were on standby. So were the Omegas, ready for action. They were useless in battle, but they were the ones who would take care of all the battle casualties."Landon!"The call startled Landon. He ran. "Daniel!" Then he saw the figure lying on a stretcher. "Alpha!"Teagan moaned in pain. His arm and chest were wounded, showing a massive rupture."Rescue the Alpha now, Landon."Landon nodded. "I will do my best."Teagan was taken to the operating room immediately. Landon himself led the operation. As he had said before, he would do everything to save Teagan.Meanwhile, outside the operating room, Daniel could only sit with an indescribable sadness. His eyes were red from ho
Ursa took a deep breath as she felt a tightness in her chest, finishing the heartbreaking story she had just shared with Era. She tried to hold back the sadness that she realized hadn't diminished at all, even though days had passed. The pain and sorrow of that day remained deeply etched in her memory.A moment passed and Ursa continued after she had regained her composure. "Since that day, Beta Daniel has temporarily assumed the position of Alpha. He became the interim Alpha until Alpha Oscar was mature enough to become the next Alpha. You could say he was a very happy man to see Alpha Oscar grow up strong and healthy like he is now. He—" Ursa's words stopped abruptly when she saw a tear rolling down Era's cheek. "Luna."Era blinked. She quickly wiped the tear away and tried to smile. "I never imagined that Oscar's life was like this. All this time I thought he was a reckless man who lacked patience."Ursa's sadness found some comfort in Era's remark and she finally smiled. "Alpha ha
There was a moment of silence. Era still didn't speak. She just stroked Oscar's chest from time to time, hoping it would help ease his grief, even if only a little."From that day on, I often wondered. How painful was the grief Papa felt that he really couldn't hold on anymore?" Oscar closed his eyes and shook his head. "But now I won't ask anymore. I don't want my curiosity to push fate and bring about what I fear most."Era's hand stopped moving on Oscar's chest. "Oscar.""I'm not as strong as Papa, Era. You have to know that. I am really nothing compared to Papa. So, if something happened to you, I wouldn't be able to see you in a coffin. I couldn't even bring myself to go to your coffin."Era pulled away from Oscar's embrace. She shifted and sat up slightly to cup Oscar's face. "I haven't thought about sleeping in a coffin. So don't think too far ahead, Oscar."Oscar didn't say anything. He just looked into Era's eyes. Then he felt a peace that was incredibly comforting.Oscar's c
The silence of the night was ominous. Instead of the usual calm, there was a tension in the air that made every muscle tense.There was no peace. No serenity. Comfort and security seemed like distant concepts, forgotten as if they never existed, and the subconscious mind was disturbed by the emergence of anxiety.Era's sleep was disturbed. She tossed and turned in endless restlessness, groaning and writhing, as if trying to free herself from the invisible chains that held her captive.Era became increasingly restless. Her subconscious movements showed genuine concern. Her struggles became uncontrollable, as if racing against the ticking clock that spun time in a thrilling spin.The air grew heavy. The wind stopped blowing. The coolness that had once existed was replaced by a suffocating heat. The temperature rose, creating a heat trap, with gnashing flames igniting into terrifying tongues of fire.Fear loomed. Torment followed. Everything felt overwhelmed by an aura of intimidation th
There were three conclusions Oscar drew after the call ended. First, the situation was getting more complicated. This time, the packs were not just terrorizing the people in Era's life, they had gone further. They dared to kidnap Amias in order to threaten Era.Second, there was a different kind of uneasiness about this particular pack. Oscar could sense that there was something personal in their words, something resembling revenge. The words and tone when his name was mentioned implied as much. It made him think. He tried to guess which pack he was dealing with now, but his mind drew a blank. Besides, he had never been in trouble with other packs before.Oscar held his breath for a moment. He ignored everything as he reached his third conclusion."Whatever happens, I'll never let you go, Era. Especially not alone. Do you understand?"Era closed her eyes. She knew that Oscar was trying to contain his emotions, but she could not help but feel the air around her heating up."Of course,
"Did you take your motion sickness medicine?"Irene turned to see Thad approaching. She decided to postpone her intention to open the car door for a moment. She answered Thad's question with a slight nod. "Of course. I don't want to throw up on the way."Thad grinned at Irene's sullen expression. "Good luck," he said, holding out his hand to open the car door for Irene. "I'll take you to Opulence Bistro for soup."Irene's eyes lit up as Thad mentioned the name of the famous restaurant. She smiled broadly. "I'll hold you to that promise."The short conversation ended there. Then Irene got into the car and Thad closed the door. The car drove off a short time later.Thad waited a moment, at least ten minutes, to make sure he wasn't at a suspicious distance from Irene's car. When he felt that was enough, he put on his helmet, started his motorcycle, and rode off.*Irene clenched her jaw as she gripped the steering wheel. A twinge of anxiety arose in her mind, causing her to quickly calm
Aaron said nothing as he poured chamomile tea for Oscar. The reason was that he could feel the tension in the air, an uneasiness that he couldn't calm, enveloping everyone. So, he decided to remain silent and then left Oscar's office, convinced that there was no point in staying there; the problem at hand was beyond his wisdom.Oscar was not alone in the room; Era, Dom, and Seth were also present. Dom's presence was mainly related to the departure of Irene and Thad; he would report everything that happened to them. As for Seth, it was a different matter. Having just arrived from Celestial City, he had to report all his findings.Oscar listened attentively to Seth's report, although there was nothing surprising in it. Everything was exactly as he had suspected—the packs he had suspected of watching over Era had left."Besides that," Seth said after he finished his report. This time it was something that had nothing to do with his mission in Celestial City, but he was sure that Era need
Date 14. The peace and tranquility that have long shrouded the Lunaria Forest have been shattered. It was caused by a horde of Xylvaneth Pack, exhausted by unrest.The noise was thunderous. The silence was oppressive. Every breath was no longer comforting as seconds passed in uncertainty.Restlessness, like a thick darkness, deepened, casting a shadow over hope. The future was shrouded in the uncertain clouds of fate. Everything became one, then clumped together, giving rise to despair.Hope rebelled. In gazes that tried to pierce the dark night, they offered prayers. Was there a chance that fate would smile upon them?Days have turned into months. Time unfolded in units of years. All endurance and patience became silent witnesses of a long wait. It was not wrong for them to demand a solution now."Oh, children of the wolves!"The echoing voice of Ursa Waverly, The Sacred Elder of the pack, resounded. She broke the silence of the night with a call that echoed through the air. Both han
