“Let me go.” When Kael heard the words from his mate, he was stunned. He had just placed her inside the carriage Jed had prepared for him while heading back to the pack when he heard Naya speak. Even when she was struggling to keep her eyes open, she still managed to give a sharp look at Kael. The corner of Kael’s lips lifted in a twisted smile. “What’s this? You still have the energy to talk to me yet you haven’t replied to my question earlier.” Naya winced, her body now sensing the heavy aftermath of everything she did the entire day. She had been fighting as many people as she could remember. She was in the brink of losing her senses – probably even her life at that point, until the crazy alpha prince appeared. It wasn’t that she forgot what he did. As a fighter herself, she was actually impressed by his fighting abilities. After all, not everyone could take down people by using only one hand, much more carrying another person the entire process. But then again, Kael had always
The West Wood Pack had gathered everyone in the main village. It must be said, because of the coming of Sana Azalea, everyone was eager to portray the role of being a follower and an obedient member of the pack.The leader, Alpha Jake West, had distributed all tasks to make everything appear perfect, each corner carrying a hint of respect, dignity, and order. After all, this was the direct messenger of the Moon Goddess herself. Disappointing her was the worst thing any pack could do."Alpha, we have a problem," Alpha Jake's beta, Bullet, said in a low voice when they entered the main pack house.Alpha Jake halted. "What is it?""Alpha Prince Lorenzo and Alpha Prince Kael... We couldn't find them," Bullet informed."What?!" Alpha Jake looked like he was going to faint. Worry and anger instantly flashed through his eyes. "The Blessing Ceremony is going to start in three hours. How can they not be here? What were they doing?!"Bullet lowered his head, equally concerned. "I sent people to
Lorenzo was startled at the sound coming from the outside. His wound had completely healed but when he took off to return to the West Wood Pack’s main village, he suddenly felt it start to open. For some strange reason, he sensed a danger coming from the said location. Still faintly struggling to remain steady, he ordered his servant, “Check what’s going on outside.” When the servant returned, Alpha Prince Lorenzo was stunned. “What? Prince Kael and Felix are at the entrance?” Lorenzo’s heart began to race in his chest. He gulped down, endured the pain on his chest, and slowly stepped out of the carriage. At the same time, the two assistants of Alpha Prince Kael and Alpha Prince Felix stood out of their own carriage. Apparently, they came together. Lorenzo suspiciously looked at them. General Trevis from the Western Border, temporarily stationed in the main village’s entrance, made a salute to the alpha princes. “I’m pleased to welcome the sons of Alpha Jake. Alpha Princes, p
Alphas in all packs were allowed to have more than one mate. Although they could acquire as many as they could, most alphas still chose to only have one mate. Just like the rest, they also held a strong importance to the sanctity of mateship and marriage, to the point that in the past 100 years, only two packs had an alpha with more than two mates – the Crimson Stone Pack and the West Wood Pack. Alpha Victor, the alpha of the Crimson Stone Pack, had two mates in his reign. This was because his first Luna died after giving birth. A pack as big as theirs needed a Luna to support the Alpha in his day-to-day ruling. The same could be said for the West Wood Pack although the history in this pack was more complicated than that of the Crimson Stone Pack. “Luna Sierra is taken as a second wife even when Luna Arabella was still alive,” a servant said as she busily arranged the baskets to be brought to the ceremony hall. Words traveled quickly and they learned Luna Sierra’s only biological s
Nervous, Alpha Jake intently watched the reaction of the Moon Goddess’ visionary messenger. Sana Azalea slowly stepped back and turned to Alpha Jake’s direction, her expression, despite calm and graceful, carried a sense of urgency and worry. “I am now going to reveal what the Moon Goddess has to say for this pack,” she said softly, eyes never leaving Alpha Jake. “Alpha, please step forward and receive the message.” The cold wind made the leaves sway and for once, the moon in the sky shone with strong traces of premonition, making people shiver and watch their leader stand up in anticipation. Head high and firm, Alpha Jake walked towards Sana Azalea. She led him to the vase and finally said, “There are three important messages the Moon Goddess revealed for your pack. First is that there is going to be a drought. The shortage of water in this territory is going to be destructive.” Gasps and whispers quickly erupted in the pack’s central grounds. Everyone couldn’t help but look at
Light Shadow Pack A young woman stood by the massive lake, her figure carrying the essence of beauty, power, and pride. Wearing a soft light dress, she spun around and uttered with a serious expression, “The lake is still in a disturbed state. Call Alpha Reid immediately.” The servant bowed down to her, “Yes, Alpha Princess.” Darlene Light, the 25-year-old daughter of Alpha Reid in the Light Shadow Pack. Some people said she didn’t only have the power of a true full-blooded alpha but she was also touched by the Moon Goddess’ light when she was young. That small touch gave her the ability to sense anything unusual especially when it came from the outside forces. The Moon Goddess Seed Lake, in particular, was her own mirror that dictated what could happen in the future. “You’ve been saying this since the day Beta Alfredo’s trained soldiers left,” another figure emerged from the shadowed bushes. Darlene didn’t need to turn around to know it was her 20-year-old brother, Seth. Bearin
The wind howled and Billy’s eyes snapped open in the dark. Jeffrey, who had been on watch, saw him and asked, “Had a nightmare?” Hearing Jeffrey’s voice pulled Billy back to reality. He took deep breaths, evening his breathing as he shook his head, “... It’s nothing. I’m fine.” “Must be a hell of a dream,” Jeffrey commented. He had been sharpening his dagger for the last few hours. Not sensing any exhaustion from his own hands, he continued quietly. Billy glanced around and saw the Onyx Pack members were all fast asleep. On the other hand, the rest of the Midnight Seven were gone. “They all went to the river. Probably took some bath. Sage went to collect herbs,” Jeffrey explained. He then paused and said, “Ah, but that was a little over an hour ago. She should have been back by now… I wonder what’s taking her long…” Billy stood up and dusted his pants off. “I’ll go and check.” Jeffrey nodded, “Make sure to get back before the sun rises.” Above the sky, the moon was about to di
"Alpha Prince has arrived!" Everyone bowed as a man with a mischievous smile walked forward. The guard by the pack house saluted and said, "Alpha Prince, the slave has been captured as you ordered. She's inside and waiting—" Kael didn't even let him finish before striding inside. The room filled immediately with his alpha presence. Kael's eyes locked onto a specific spot in the room – the bed, where a woman was seated. She was chained to the bedframe, limiting her movement to just a few steps. She heard the door and looked up, her eyes filling with coldness as they met Kael's gaze. "Do you have any new greetings for your master?" Kael asked playfully. Naya glared at him, her eyes seething with anger, but she remained silent. The way she stared at Kael made it seem like no words could ever shake her, whether in fear, surprise, or pain. Kael grinned, excitement coursing through him. Unable to restrain himself, he walked closer and grabbed her chin firmly. Naya kept her gaze icy a
