Tension filled the air as Alpha Prince Kael entered the room with Naya and Jed. Jed’s gaze was full of worry but before he could even utter a word, he heard Kael speak. “Leave us alone,” he ordered. Jed wanted to oppose, not wanting to leave Kael with the rogue after the tragic incident with Sana Azalea. However, he too was filled with many questions, especially with what those two women said to Naya. What was that all about? And why did they ask Alpha Prince Kael to visit their Holy Temple? In the end, Jed could only follow what his boss ordered him to. While leaving, he couldn’t help but glance at Naya who was silent the entire time. This woman didn’t know any of the moon disciples but they seemed to know her. How did it happen? With more questions in his mind, Jed turned to the door and left. Finally alone, Kael walked up to Naya. He stood close to her and with eyes in between indifference and anger, he demanded, “What did you hear?” Naya lifted her chin, cold and calm eyes
Alpha Jake was a very simple leader. His priority was always the West Wood Pack, its safety and security. Since the outside events were no longer in his control, he refused to take part in them. Even when other packs reached out in hopes to join forces, he flatly rejected them. If there was one pack he could trust, that was the Crimson Stone Pack. However, there was still a limit to the partnership between their pack to that biggest pack. For example, in terms of warfare talks, the majority of things would stay confidential. The resources they maintained were kept and would only be shared through trading. It was a give and take relationship, funded by the strong loyalty for each other. But in the end, one could only share a few things, not everything. The reason for this was one could never fully trust people except their kin, because it was written in the books of life that tragedy exists when there was too much trust given to people who do not belong to the same pack or wasn’t one
The news about the West Wood Pack’s alpha princes about to take wives spread in the territory like a wildfire. The sadness that came from the anointed shaman’s death was quickly replaced by excitement. Even the readings about the upcoming drought were cast aside. “It’s bound to happen. Sooner or later, all the alpha princes will have to take their mates eventually,” Head Servant Nana Harlene said to the servants while they were cooking in the main pack house kitchen. Apparently, Alpha Prince Felix was going to join his mother and father for lunch today. Some say they would also discuss the upcoming Blue Moon Hunt. One young servant asked, “But, Nana, shouldn’t fate be the one to dictate their bond with their mates?” A deep emotion flashed through Nana Harlene’s eyes before it disappeared. “Time has changed. About 100 years ago, a new tradition came supported by the anointed shaman’s blessing. In each pack, Alpha and his sons are given the chance to take whoever they wish to be the
"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
"Run!" Naya's heart sank as her companions shouted, scattering in accordance with their training. A chill ran down Naya's spine as she glimpsed the source of the attack. It emanated from the Southern border's tower, confirming her suspicions. Their map had proven outdated, and the landscape had undergone significant changes. According to the map, they should have encountered only one tower, but in reality, another had been erected. Each tower boasted around fifteen guards or so. Now, they had spotted Naya and her group trespassing on their turf. Swearing under her breath, Naya sprinted and rolled, seeking refuge behind a towering, thick tree. "Hurry! Locate those intruders! Chief Martin's arrival is imminent! Don't let the rogues slip away!!" Naya's blood ran cold, remembering her father's warnings. "The Main Land is vastly different from our home. It's twenty times larger in size. While the warriors guarding these borders may hold lower ranks, considering their distance from maj
Naya’s blurred vision cleared up. Under the radiant, full moon, she saw a man. He stood tall wearing clothes slightly different than the rest, his build rougher but more refined than the men Naya fought. Thick, dominant pheromones spread around his stature as he walked forward. Naya couldn’t help but freeze as she looked at the man, seeing his eyes – green, dark, cold, and carrying a peculiar depth that made anyone feel powerless at one glance. Time seemed to stop as those green eyes glinted and landed on Naya. Naya’s heartbeat turned faster and faster. Deep inside her soul, she heard her wolf making a sound. It wanted out. For some mysterious reason, it wanted to meet this person… The tall, handsome man crouched down. Slowly, his lips that had been shut tugged up into a wicked smile. Naya froze. “Well, well, what do we have here?” he asked mischievously while staring at Naya. “I heard rumors of a rogue causing a ruckus at this border. They described a formidable fighter,

Regardless, she could still hear loud and clear – the different footsteps across the wall, and the heavy breathing her body was making. Her wolf was writhing inside her. It wanted out but it was for a different reason, something that made Naya feel even worse. She was a beta and betas don’t go through heat. Unlike omegas who would often go to heat especially when there was a full moon, beta rarely ever experienced such. But for some mysterious reason, Naya felt her body was scorching hot. The blood coursing through her body felt like flames, and there was that desire – so intense and overflowing that it felt like exploding from her chest. She gritted her teeth as she tried to move but the
Naya slowly opened her eyes, her lips parting slightly as she breathed out and looked around. The light from the small cracks of the window allowed her to know the sun was up and that the skies were clear, opposite to her situation. Fortunately, Kael, the monster in human skin, wasn’t around. Naya let out a small sigh of relief at the thought. Her entire body felt awful, the bruises and marks on her flesh stung whenever air hit them. But these were the things that occupied the least in her head. She had to leave this place. Immediately. Her mission couldn’t be dragged on any longer. If her calculation was right, three days had already passed. The royal heir would leave the territory in two days. Two days left. Naya clenched her teeth and forced herself to move, the chains around her feet creating a metallic dangling sound. It was quickly followed by a whimper from her own mouth. She glanced down, seeing the purple bruises that Kael left on her legs. It was as if he had purposely
