A few minutes later, Brandon didn't see Rachel anywhere. He had even asked the guards but no one knew, and now he had to search for Rachel with Victor.
"Did you realize something was wrong, Victor? Is it possible that Rachel heard our conversation?"Victor turned to his Alpha. "Is it possible that Rachel is running away now? Because she heard what you said earlier."Realizing that Rachel had indeed run away, Brandon immediately ordered all of his bodyguards to look for her wherever and however far they had to go.As Brandon's emotions were again unstable, Victor decided to step away from his Alpha nature and focus on finding Rachel's whereabouts so that Brandon's emotions would soon be resolved."Everyone, please find Rachel wherever you are, if you come back empty-handed then I will kill you!" Brandon's shout echoed throughout the room, no one dared to argue, and they preferred to work on the tasks given by their Alpha.However, there was one guard who asked Brandon a very bold question, instead of getting an answer, the guard lay lifeless as Brandon killed him instantly and mercilessly."Calm yourself, Alpha! If your emotions get the best of you then finding Rachel will be even harder for us to do. We need your guidance too." Victor said trying to advise his Alpha. But Brandon still could not be controlled by anyone including his own beta.***Days and months had passed and Rachel was still nowhere to be found, frustrating everyone in the pack. Because every day they get tantrums from Brandon.Of course, it was because of Brandon's out-of-bounds behavior, killing innocent people and his appearance that was increasingly turning into a man who seemed unable to take care of himself. Yes, Brandon was busy looking for Rachel's whereabouts and paid no attention to his appearance."Alpha, shouldn't you be hunting tonight? But since you're not feeling well, I suggest moving the hunting schedule to another day," said Victor who had just walked into Brandon's room. It had been almost nine months since they lost Rachel, seeing the changes in his Alpha made Victor naturally worried."I want to meet Selena." Brandon then said."Are you sure about this, Alpha? I'll arrange it if you let me." Victor said.Brandon shook his head. "Leave me alone, Beta. I started all this, let me be in charge."Victor nodded his head as he obeyed everything his Alpha said. Although he was worried, he still had to carry out Brandon's orders no matter what.Brandon walked with slow steps, he went to the Moon Goddess and asked for help to be reunited with Rachel."That's what I'm worried about, you're too evil for a pure omega like Rachel. You don't deserve to be with her, Brandon." Selena said with a disappointed look on her face. What happened to Brandon was purely the man's fault and Rachel's departure was a risk he had to take."Can't you turn it around, Selena? This one chance and I won't make the same mistake again." Brandon pleaded.The Moon Goddess shook her head, Rachel's holy blood had made her powers completely unusable to search for Rachel's whereabouts.The Moon Goddess was silent, she could not fulfill the Alpha's request."Rachel has holy blood that can protect her from any power, Brandon. I can't help you because my powers can't even reach her whereabouts." Selena replied."I beg you just this once, please meet me with her because I deeply regret everything I've said to her. If only I didn't have bad intentions towards her then I wouldn't have lost her." Brandon pleaded with Selena.After his request was denied by the Moon Goddess, Brandon returned feeling disappointed and regretful that he had wasted a wife as good as Rachel. If only time could be turned back, then he wouldn't have had any ill intentions towards her.News of Rachel's disappearance continued to spread everywhere, with even the other packs vying for her whereabouts and competing to possess her. Obviously, the main topic that continued to spread reached Brandon's ears. The Alpha's protective spirit stirred, he could not stay silent if the other Alphas were going to discover Rachel's whereabouts."Have you instructed all the guards to return to search for Rachel's whereabouts, Victor? I don't want Rachel to be owned by another Alpha." Brandon said with his fingers busy writing something down and folded it up as he placed it in front of Victor. "Give this to a pack that is willing to cooperate with us, I will ask for their help and provide welfare guarantees.""Are you sure, Alpha? Your job will get harder if you're handling two packs at once," Victor said, a little dubious of what his alpha was doing. Of course, the welfare Brandon was referring to was about the security and food that would be shared by a pack that was willing to accept cooperation from their pack."I don't mind as long as what I do is for Rachel's return. Have you heard that other packs are competing to find Rachel wherever she is? That's why I don't want Rachel to be found by other packs." Brandon said, explaining his concern for the news that had already begun to spread.At night, Victor returned to the palace with an upset and emotional look on his face, as all the packs refused the cooperation offered by Brandon. Basically they refused the offer because they were also after Rachel, clearly Rachel's sacred blood was more valuable than the prosperity Brandon was offering."What's wrong, Beta?" asked Brandon, who had noticed Victor's return to their group."They refused the cooperation you asked for, Alpha. They're also after Rachel because her holy blood is more valuable than anything you have to offer, including prosperity." Victor replied, explaining what the alpha group he was visiting had said."So they dare to refuse my offer of cooperation? Well, once we get Rachel, we'll punish them for refusing my cooperation, no exceptions!" Brandon said, to which Victor nodded in reply. The rest of the pack didn't dare refuse the offer as they hoped to find Rachel and use her to do something that would destroy Brandon's Manowi pack.However, suddenly the Moon Goddess came to Brandon that night."What's wrong, Selena? Why did you come to meet me?" Brandon asked with a flat face.At night in the Manowi kingdom, Victor couldn't find Brandon. He was worried about the Alpha. Victor did not smell any Alpha in their pack territory. Fearing an attack from outside that they didn't know about, Victor immediately asked the guards guarding his pack."Have you seen Brandon?" Victor asked the soldier standing guard in front of their pack's gate."Alpha is out, Beta. After Moon Goddes met him, Alpha left the castle on her command. Moon Goddes said that only tonight can Alpha find Rachel," one of the soldiers replied."Why tonight?" asked Victor."Moon Goddes said because it is the night of the full moon.""But, the border guards say that Alpha is outside our territory, but they dare not chase him away," said the soldier guarding the group gate."Was there no information about the attack from the border guards?" Victor asked again.The guard shook his head. "Nothing, Beta. Everything is safe."Victor nodded his head, he knew what happened to Brandon was not a group problem,
Brandon widened his eyes at Kennedy's words.What did he say? His soul mate? Was this man bragging?For a moment, silence crept over the cave. Brandon stared at Kennedy in disbelief, while the man looked lovingly at Rachel.Rachel held her baby with overlapping feelings, feeling surprised by Kennedy's statement."Rachel, I know you feel the same way. You may be surprised by this claim, but I'm telling you the truth." Kennedy spoke again in such a soft voice, persuading Rachel who was at a crossroads.Rachel hated Brandon for what he did. He had only used her and intended to kill her.Brandon never loved her, when Rachel thought he was her soulmate.Now, Kennedy comes with a shocking claim on her.Rachel stared at Kennedy with her hazel irises clouded with indecision. Then, Kennedy extended her hand."Your real mate is me, darling. You may still be surprised, but eventually I'm sure you'll realize everything."Kennedy's words felt like a tranquilizer in the ears of Rachel who had been
Victor quickly carried Brandon out of the cave after realizing that the Alpha needed serious treatment.Victor carried Brandon on his back, then made his way carefully through the forest. He could not be spotted by the other Alphas and had to carry Brandon secretly to the palace.If they were spotted by the other packs, then big trouble would ensue. They could not know that the Alpha was in a weakened state, or they would easily shake the Manowi Pack. The opposition will seize the opportunity to destroy them from all sides.The leader is the foundation of everything.If the leader is weak, then Pack Manowi's defenses are also weakened. During this time, Brandon was the one who organized everything.Victor knew that the Alphas of the other packs hated Pack Manowi. They were just trying to hide that hatred for fear of Alpha Brandon. Brandon's cruelty and power could not be defeated. For years, the King Alpha was the strongest of the other Alphas.Not only did they hate, but they were al
Twelve o'clock at night.The full moon moved higher and the air dropped dramatically. Rachel lay still on her bed, her gaze fixed on the window that showed the side view of the palace. The roses seemed to sway lightly in the wind.Rachel could not sleep.The baby was fast asleep in the bassinet, but she couldn't close her eyes for a minute. Something was nagging at the back of her mind, and she didn't know what.After the celebration party at Pack Leinz was over, Kennedy said goodbye to patrol the neighborhood. He told Rachel to rest, but she wasn't sleepy at all.She felt uncomfortable and restless. Something was wrong. But what?Rachel finally got out of bed. Hesitating, she walked to the door and opened it. Her irises looked along the very dark and deserted hallway.Was everyone asleep?Kennedy had taken her around the palace and shown her many places. And now, her mind was on the backyard of the palace. Could she go there?Maybe she could get some fresh air for a while.Rachel was
"Are you still thinking about what happened before?"Kennedy approached Rachel who was standing in front of the mirror. He had just finished cleaning himself and changed the clothes. But when she wanted to sleep, Kennedy found Rachel daydreaming.Gently, Kennedy took the woman's body into his arms. Rachel flinched somewhat at the sudden movement, but then relaxed as Kennedy's large hand stroked her head."I know you're still in shock from what happened, but from now on, can you put your trust in me?" Kennedy murmured above Rachel's head.Rachel was silent for a long time, feeling confused with herself. But who else could she trust if not Kennedy? Who could help her and her baby?No one, not even her own biological father.The only choice she had was Kennedy.And once again, the man proved that he could protect Rachel."I promise to protect you and your baby," Kennedy continued when Rachel didn't speak.To be honest, Kennedy was feeling anxious right now. There were a lot of bad things
Fall had arrived.A season where her father sold her to King Alpha Brandon. The season of their big wedding.Back then, Rachel thought her miserable life had changed. When she saw the burning love in Brandon's eyes, she thought she had found her true mate.She was so naive.She was so stupid that she didn't realize Brandon's foul intentions to kill her. If she hadn't known that, would she not be able to see her baby now?Perhaps she had become a corpse, while her baby lived in agony with the cruel Brandon. 'No', she thought gloomily. Why was she thinking about that incident again?Rachel sighed and rested her head against the cold window. She tried to calm herself down, and after a while, she decided to organize her dresses.Time seemed to pass quickly that morning.As lunch progressed, Kennedy appeared and again engaged Rachel in a discussion about Alpha Brandon.Their conversation that morning wafted away like a passing autumn breeze, as Rachel still felt confused.However, Kennedy,
After the approval Rachel took from their discussion, Kennedy did not delay in starting to train the woman.First of all, they learned to process Rachel's emotions so that she wouldn't be so easily affected by Brandon again."Imagine Brandon is in your head and you are talking to him directly." Kennedy instructed from a distance, while Rachel stood right in the middle of the meadow.It was not far from the palace, one of the Alpha's private fields.Rachel stood right in the middle of the meadow surrounded by giant redwood trees. The leaves were dense and formed a canopy-protecting them from the harsh midday sun.Rachel would begin to try to control her emotions so that she could focus when she faced Brandon.Brandon was the strongest King Alpha with intuition and strength unlike any other alpha. So far, no alpha from their federation had managed to defeat the man, so what Rachel and Kennedy were about to do would not be easy.Rachel began to follow Kennedy's instructions and closed he
The news of the death penalty that Guezz received has spread widely to other packs.The news spread like a fire that burns firewood, because this is the first time Pack Manowi has held a death penalty since 1000 years of existence.There were many rumors circulating, but one thing was certain, they only focused on discussing Brandon's cruelty without looking for clear reasons behind his actions.Talk of how cruel Brandon had been to kill a 'defenseless omega' became the main topic. Everyone who spread the news kept adding spice to make the story sound more interesting. Until then, the news reached the ears of the residents of Pack Leinz.'Guezz was sentenced to death by Brandon for defending his daughter who escaped from Alpha Brandon's cruelty'.Rachel, who had been practicing, became unfocused when she heard the news. Her whole body was trembling and she would have fallen backwards, if Kennedy hadn't hurriedly restrained her."Are you okay, dear?" asked Kennedy worriedly.Rachel sho
