The man's presence stopped all the chaos and fighting. The ongoing skirmish was no longer of concern to them. One thing that immediately caught their attention was the fact that the man was actually there.In fact, some of the pack had doubted the man's existence. They thought that perhaps he was a fictional character created to stir up trouble within the pack all the time. They also suspected that there were evil forces deliberately creating him as a scapegoat for all the problems. Thus, many of them considered the man to be just a pawn, much like a chess piece, and the real player was Mireya.However, these speculations were shattered. The unexpected appearance of the man completely dispelled such possibilities. They could see that the man and Mireya were on opposite sides. Mireya's face changed and became pale. Her reaction clearly indicated that the man's appearance was not what she had hoped for. Then they all fell silent.On the other hand, the man's presence also had an effect
Vione felt a sense of unease as the sun rose on the eastern horizon. Her consciousness came suddenly and she awoke immediately. She was panting and sweat drenched her body as if she had just run hundreds of miles.The discomfort grew throughout the day, making Vione increasingly tired. She tried to calm herself, but she couldn't. She couldn't help but try to find the source of the fear that gripped her, but she couldn't find it.The air felt suffocating. Vione grew restless, so she decided to just walk through the forest. She emerged from the cave and at the same time the man appeared.Vione's steps stopped instantly. For a moment, she just stared at the man without saying a word. Then her focus shifted to someone behind the man.Vione's eyes widened. "Ayla."Ayla approached Vione immediately. They embraced in a longing and relief that words could not express. Finally, they met again after so long, although Vione was sure that something bad had brought them together."Ayla, what happe
After the man and Ayla left, the battle became uneven. Berg, Cora, and the pack were pushed back. The reason was that so many unfamiliar wolves suddenly appeared and attacked them.Berg jumped back. He assessed the situation of the fight and felt confused by the presence of the unknown wolves, pressured by the urgency of the situation. He could not let the pack fall victim to this unequal fight.Similar thoughts crossed Cora's mind. They exchanged glances and finally Cora let out a long howl. As the third leader of the pack, she made a decision. She ordered the pack to withdraw from the battle. She also ordered Berg and his team to form a tight barricade. Her priority now was to save the pack.When Mireya heard Cora's howl, she jumped into action. She left Usher behind as he lay unconscious on the ground. She shouted angrily, "Capture all the rebels! Capture Berg and Cora for daring to defy the Alpha's orders! Capture them all!"Cora, Berg, and the guards fought desperately against Mi
Awareness startled Usher. His eyes opened instantly. He gasped for breath and sweat poured down his body, drenching him. At that moment, he felt trapped between the world of dreams and reality, separated by a thin line, real or not. Usher tried to calm himself. In the dim light of the room and the silence surrounding him, he tried to gather his scattered thoughts. The intense nightmare that had hit him had left an unforgettable mark on his mind. It almost convinced him that it was real. "It can't be," Usher thought as he tried to calm his racing heart. He dismissed all the frightening and painful images that had filled his mind during his sleep. It was only a dream, not reality. Garth is fine, he isn't dead. And Mama, she is too. A strange coldness began to envelop Usher's entire body. Its presence coincided with memories of all the events that had taken place during the day. He had presided over a High Court with Garth as the defendant, and then everything had happened exactly as i
Mireya had to admit that the situation was getting out of her control. She felt frustrated, but her mind was still clear enough not to take any unnecessary risks. The possibility of Cora, Berg, and Storm gathering strength to attack the Frostholm Pack's palace caused her to brainstorm quickly, trying to take preemptive measures as soon as possible.After much deliberation, Mireya realized that the only logical step she could take was to launch an attack on the Frostholm Pack in the near future. She had to use the momentum of the ongoing chaos. Especially since she realized that Usher was incapacitated and there was literally no leader of the Frostholm Pack in The Palace. Garth was dead, and Cora had fled. So, it could be said that the Frostholm Pack was truly vulnerable at the moment.Mireya's wandering thoughts came to a halt. A mischievous smile appeared on her face. Maybe the situation was not completely out of her control. Even if her plans for the day had not gone perfectly, ther
The growing sense of unease accompanied Mireya on her journey to her private residence. All the way her mind was filled with confusion and questions. She could not stop thinking about the strange things that were happening with Usher, and she was not sure if it was an effect of the tea she always gave him. At least Usher was less submissive to her than usual. Instead, he seemed intent on attacking her.It was not just that the vase almost hit her head; Mireya also experienced another attack from Usher. When she was caught off guard earlier, Usher suddenly grabbed her by the throat. She could not breathe, and fortunately Greisy was quick to intervene.Greisy immediately called some guards who happened to be on duty outside Usher's room. They quickly restrained Usher, and Mireya ordered them to tie Usher to the bed.It was a truly unexpected incident. Just remembering it made her shudder. Usher's look when he looked at her was a promise of death.Mireya closed her eyes for a moment and
The commotion in Usher's room continued into the night. Greisy, who had been assigned by Mireya to watch over Usher, finally decided not to bother. She just made sure that Usher didn't leave the room and that no one entered it. She didn't care what Usher did in the room. She even let him rage and hurt himself if he wanted to."Don't open the door. Whatever happens, no matter how loud it gets in Alpha's room, you don't need to do anything. Just leave it alone," Greisy said, looking at the two guards standing in front of Usher's room. "Do you understand?"Both guards nodded simultaneously and replied in unison, "We understand.""Good, and don't forget to contact me immediately if anything happens."After that, Greisy left. She walked down the long corridor, the muffled sounds of Usher fading in her ears. At that moment she mocked Alpha in her heart. Truly, he was pathetic. He was nothing compared to Alpha Torin. It was only fitting that the Nimbria pack took over everything here.It was
Returning to the Frostholm Pack Palace at two in the morning, Mireya immediately summoned Greisy. After briefly inquiring about Phillip's condition, she shifted her focus to Usher."How is he? Is he still raving?" Mireya asked.Greisy replied politely, "Alpha Usher was still in a rage after you left, but the room calmed down shortly thereafter. He's no longer raging.""Good," Mireya said with a short sigh. Then she chuckled before handing Greisy something from her bag. "This is a new calming tea. Give it to Usher if he starts to rage again."Greisy took the tea. "Yes, madam.""Ah, one more thing," Mireya almost missed something important. This one thing couldn't be overlooked because it had to do with the preparations for the attack of the Nimbria Pack. "Soon we will attack the Frostholm Pack."Greisy's eyes widened. "Is that true, madam?"Mireya smiled. "Of course. Why? Are you tired of being here?""Very much so, madam. I can't stand living here, in the pathetic shadow of the Frosth
