Enzo's tall, muscular figure gradually disappeared from my sight, and I watched with love and admiration as he left.That’s probably why a leader existed, to make people feel safe and protected.Sheri's birthday was held outside in a garden. The trees were covered with twinkling lights, and those long tables are served with various desserts on top. There was also a wide array of drinks that suited various tastes.The party was surprisingly relaxing. People chitchatted over the soothing music. Everyone has a smile on their faces.After greeting Sheri, I handed her the gift that Enzo and I had prepared together. She seemed happy, and it relieved me that the blow Kyle had given her was not too unbearable.She was a strong woman.Sheri and I were standing beside the desert table when someone tapped my shoulder from behind."Hey, pretties!"I turned and saw Lilla's bright, smiling face. She pulled out a gift from behind and handed it to Sheri."Happy birthday!"Sheri raised her eyebrow, lo

Kyle's POV"H-help me... Kyle... S-save me...!"It was Sheri's voice. I opened my eyes in darkness and looked in horror at the woman before me. She was lying in a pool of blood. My whole body was shaking. I wanted to save her so badly but before my hand touched her, I heard a stabbing sound.I snapped my head around, seeing a corpse dropped to the ground in front of me. I backed away in a daze, but then a cold hand suddenly gripped my shoulders."Look! I... killed my mate... for you... Are you still going to reject me...?"The voice was hollow, husky, and terrifying, but the question left me speechless.I trembled and gulped.I wanted to turn around. I wanted to look at the person speaking…"Kyle!" Another cry pierced through my ears. "Why you let me die? Why?!"Screams rang in my ears. Something was dragging me down into the abyss! My mind was in turmoil..."Kyle? Kyle! Wake up! Kyle!!!"Was that... someone calling me?Like a drowning man finally broke free from water, a warm ray of

"Your mate?!" Enzo and I gasped together.Kyle raised his eyebrows and shrugged at our reaction. "Why are you guys so surprised?"Then he confessed his relationship with Seth to Enzo. Enzo crossed his arms and pursed his lips while listening and finally said, "You should have told me earlier. There’s nothing to hide. I even thought you were interested in Andrea..."Enzo trailed off and gave me an awkward look.I knew what he was thinking. After all, he had been jealous of how close Kyle and I were before.Kyle laughed. "You're right, sorry. I hadn’t been completely honest before this.”“When my father discovered my relationship with Raymond, he beat the crap out of me because he thought it was scandalous and would hinder my path to becoming a Beta. So, he forced me not to tell anyone, especially you."Enzo was quiet for a few moments, then he looked up and said, "You'll always be my Beta and my best friend. No matter what."Then he turned to Seth and carefully studied him before smili

"You said Melissa is a slave now?"I was stunned. According to my memory, Melissa was like a princess to Alpha Michael. I thought he had released her the day Enzo and I left the Blue River Pack. How could he let his precious daughter to become a slave?"Yeah," Jesse nodded. "Ever since Ellen went nuts, Alpha married another woman named Gloria. She's only twenty-two years old, very attractive. Alpha likes her very much.""But Melissa is his daughter and the future heir to his pack. How did she become a slave?""Gloria is pregnant, so Alpha has a new heir. Of course he won’t take that evil Melisa as his heir anymore."Jesse had a look of disgust as he continued, "Melissa’s reputation is already trashed in the pack. Everyone knows about how awful she is, and no one would support her as heir.""...""Besides, the new Luna doesn't like her either. So her life has been hell," Jesse said. "But she deserves these. You were so kind to her, yet she wanted to kill you. It's all her karma."I was

I was shocked and reached out to stop Melissa." There's no need for that! Get up!"But Gloria held my arm and said, "You're an honorable Luna. She's just a lowly slave. It’s only right for her to serve you this way."I wasn't sure if Gloria knew the history between Melissa and me, but I guessed she did from how she behaved. She wanted to please me by trashing Melissa.Yet I was not the kind of person Gloria thought I was. I couldn’t agree with Gloria's words nor her insulting behavior, so I shrugged her off, quickly took the tray from Melissa, and helped her up."I don't need anyone to serve me like that," I said bluntly to Gloria, not bothering to maintain the polite smile on my face.Gloria was so mortified. She didn’t know how to react to that."O-oh, I see. That's fine," she looked at the maid standing next to her, and the girl leaned down to remind her, "Luna, it's time for your afternoon nap."Gloria stood up without hesitation and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry.
