Garth had forgotten when he had last set foot in Jemma's house, even though Usher used to make routine visits and accompany him. Ah! Garth seemed to remember that Usher forgot this habit when he started to get close to Mireya.
Garth's face hardened. It was not only Vione and the pack that Usher had neglected, but also Jemma, his biological mother, had been ignored by Usher since Mireya had arrived.
"So, what did you mean before, Garth?"
Jemma came over with a cup of tea. She served it to Garth and sat down on the available patio chair. The breeze and the coolness calmed her feelings somewhat.
"Thank you, Jemma," Garth said, enjoying the tea in one sip. The tea returned to the table and he exhaled. "Yesterday Mireya had a visitor."
"What? A visitor?"
Garth nodded. "Yes. A man, and I don't know what pack he's from. I've never seen his face."
"So, what happened?"
"Mireya met him in Alpha's room."
Jemma's eyes widened. "Wait
Garth did not waste any time. He unbuckled his seatbelt and quickly got out of the car. He approached the man wearing a hooded jacket and mask."You."The man stared at Garth, and it was then that Garth remembered Storm's words. All of Storm's words seemed to echo in his mind. "He looked at me, and I swear, only Alpha could make me powerless without saying a word."Garth dared to swear. He experienced it exactly. His body seemed to freeze when those sharp eyes looked at him without blinking. Alpha. Was it you?"Who are you?" Garth braced himself. If it was indeed Usher, then he was sure there must be a good reason why Usher was doing all this. "What are you doing?"The man approached and Garth's heart seemed to beat faster. His body reacted very naturally, especially with his wolf spirit."Go to Ayla right now," the man said.Garth blinked. That was his intention now, but he was curious. "What do you mean? Why do I have to me
It took a while for Garth to regain full control of himself. He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths to calm his body and the restless wolf within. But his mind kept echoing. It was the Alpha.Garth rose shortly thereafter. He got back into the car, but his destination changed. He decided to return to the palace first. He had to make sure of something before he met Ayla.Arriving at the palace, Garth immediately went to Usher's room. He entered and his fast pace immediately slowed down.Usher was lying on the bed, just like yesterday, motionless and completely helpless."Alpha," Garth whispered as he reached out his hand. He touched Usher's hand, but there was no response. "Please, Alpha. If it's really you, please wake up."Garth's plea felt like an empty hope. Usher remained still, not even the slightest movement.Garth lowered his head. His emotions were in complete disarray. Both of his hands clenched tightly as all tho
Early in the morning, Mireya had already left the palace. Unlike usual, she, who was obsessed with being in control, refused the driver who usually took her wherever she wanted to go. This time, after living in the palace for so long, she drove herself, and her destination was her old home.Arriving at the house, Mireya immediately got out of the car. She looked around for a moment, as if she was afraid of being followed. Then she entered the house.An embrace greeted Mireya's arrival. She was surprised for a moment, then laughed happily and returned the hug. "Oh, Torin. You surprised me."Torin planted kisses on Mireya's lips and ran both hands over her body. Mireya didn't stand still and did the same. Her slender fingers slid down and grasped Torin's masculinity.Torin's growl echoed in Mireya's mouth. Then he led Mireya into the bedroom, and all the clothes on their bodies were removed, landing on the floor.Torin and Mireya wrestled passionatel
According to the prevailing historical accounts, the Amerotha Forest was a silent witness to several significant events in the journey of humans and wolves. According to legend, the forest was the site of the first encounter between ancient tribes and the wolves, who were considered the spiritual guardians of the forest. It was said that the Amerotha Forest was a rich source of wisdom, accessible only to those who understood the language of nature. In essence, a few lucky individuals were blessed by the Moon Goddess to receive such a gift, and one of those lucky ones was Ayla.With the gift came responsibility. Ayla embraced both with open arms. She used the gift with great wisdom for the sustainability and well-being of the Frostholm pack, including praying for the Alpha who remained in bed, not knowing when he would awaken.Morning after morning, too many to count, Ayla visited the forest of Amerotha with the same hope as before. Even before dawn truly appeared on th
Far to the west of Amerotha Forest, at the point where the sun set, was a place untouched by the outside world, including the Frostholm Pack. They were there, but it was as if they didn't exist.The forest rangers who often patrolled it never noticed the existence of that place, let alone knew about it. What always happened when they crossed this place was that they kept on walking and "passing through" as if there was a portal that instantly moved them to the next place.The reason for this was that there was a magic in the place, like a curtain, that blinded everyone without exception. Thus, the place became like a secret room, known only to its owner, accessible only to the owner.Her name was Rowena. A witch whose age and how long she had lived on the edge of the Amerotha Forest were unknown. She certainly had a good relationship with the Frostholm pack, including Jemma and Kendrick.Rowena was one of the few witches who had a relationship with werewo
The call from Ayla made Garth hurry. He got out of bed immediately and got ready without wasting any time, even though it was only four in the morning. He took the car keys from the bedside table and left the room.The atmosphere in The Palace still seemed quiet. Only a few guards were stationed at various points. They saluted when Garth passed by.Shortly after, Garth left the palace. His destination was Ayla's house and his departure was related to Usher. In short, Ayla told him that she had obtained an antidote for Usher.His hand gripped the wheel. Garth pressed harder on the accelerator. The car accelerated and he arrived at Ayla's house about half an hour later.Ayla was already waiting for him. She invited him in and handed him a bottle with a clear liquid, similar to ordinary water.Garth took the bottle with a slightly puzzled expression. "Is this the antidote to Alpha?""Yes," Ayla replied, exhaling deeply. Her gaze remained fixed on the bottle. "Rowena instructed me to give
Half an hour passed in agonizing slowness. It seemed as if there had never been such a long half hour before. Garth's heart was pounding and he almost lost his patience when Scott finally finished examining Usher's condition.Reflexively, Garth stepped forward. Passing Mireya, he immediately asked Scott, "How is Alpha?""Don't worry, Garth. Alpha is fine."Garth was stunned for a moment and Scott nodded with a smile. Then Scott stepped back so that Garth could approach Usher fully.Usher sat leaning against the headboard. He looked at Garth with tired eyes, then spoke softly. "Garth.""Alpha."There were many words Garth wanted to say, but suddenly his tongue was tied. His chest filled with happiness. He was so relieved he could barely breathe."You're finally awake, Alpha. I'm so—""Oh, Usher!"Suddenly, Mireya stepped forward and deliberately pushed Garth. Garth stumbled and quickly regained his balance.Mireya sat down on the bed. Then she reached for Usher's hand. Her eyes seemed t
Mireya's panic was understandable when she found Usher waking from his sleep. Her heart felt like it wanted to jump out of her chest and she almost jumped when she saw that Usher actually opened his eyes and sat up.Fortunately, Mireya was able to control herself. She quickly replaced her panicked expression with one of joyful surprise. She showed the happiness a woman would feel when she saw her beloved finally awake and conscious.Mireya calmed herself. She reassured herself again and again that everything would be fine. Usher was awake, but that didn't mean he was fully recovered like before. Usher was still skinny and looked helpless.However, Mireya was surprised again. The reason was Usher's unexpected question."Shouldn't you be back with the Nimbria Pack?"Mireya could barely breathe. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and she raced to think of an excuse."I-I'm sure you still need to rest, Usher. So, I won't disturb you. The maid will bring you something to eat later."Mi
