Whatever comes will come sooner or later. Titus summoned me to the pack's shared house. As he said, no one was allowed to miss the welcome ceremony for the noble Alphas from the neighboring packs. No matter how strong Black Moon is, it is not allowed to be rude; alone, against many alliance packs, it is very disadvantageous.Although Ryan has allowed me to stay at home and let him take care of it, I don't want him to be awkward in front of Titus, or there will be conflicts between them.I sighed; the distance from that was longer than usual because my legs didn't want to lift.When I got there, almost everyone had gathered. Ryan and Titus were sitting at the top, and Evelyn and everyone close to Ryan was standing behind him.Out of habit, I find the darkest place to sit down.The welcome ceremony took place right after, I kept my head bowed throughout the process because I was not interested, but when I heard about Red River, I still couldn't help but tremble.I wiped my sweaty hands

Gray's face showed no emotion; he looked at Roger nonchalantly and spoke. "I'm not in the habit of shaking hands with strangers."I stared blankly into Gray's emerald green eyes; I didn't dare think he was the same as the man who had awakened me formerly. Even though I knew it was just a play, at least then I saw in Gray joy and tenderness. Did power change him?"Ha," Roger smiled faintly, his eyes colding, then turned to the only man left. "You won't make me lose face, will you?"Alfine has always acted differently from the rest of his family. He went up and took Roger's hand. "Hi."Blake was not pleased with Alfine's politeness; he gave his son a warning. “Stop doing meaningless work, Alfine. The person you need to be polite with is Alpha Ryan. Not those who are destined to fail like this.”Roger retracted his hand, turning to me with a superficial expression. “Your family is so snobby.” After saying that, he shrugged, glancing at each of them. "Ugly and likes to look down on others

Ryan POVI began to have an uneasy feeling in my heart when more than two hours had passed, and Erza still hadn't called to inform me that she was okay. Erza is meticulous and doesn't like to worry others; she certainly couldn't forget to tell me.But the tricky thing now is that I can't leave the party.It would be great if Max were here now, but I gave him another mission a while ago. Losing a strong arm is not pleasant.The wolf inside me started to get annoyed; it growled. “We must get out of here immediately; I have a horrible feeling.”I frowned and answered brusquely. “I know that, but...”“Stop the bullshit parties. Is it as important as our mate?” My wolf grumbled. "You're a weakling; you wouldn't dare leave here or let me do it for you.""Be quiet!" I am grumpy.Suddenly a thought flashed into my head."I've come up with a way to satisfy both," I say with certainty."Are you sure? If it's not okay, we have to go find her." My wolf is disgruntled. “We used to promise no matte

All night, I didn't sleep; I was like a soulless person looking at the flashing emergency room.Roger didn't leave either; he stayed by my side all night and regularly checked the news. There was no clear answer, but I could guess the outcome because every time he finished looking at the phone, his eyes were only filled with disappointment and guilt, not daring to look me in the face.Near dawn, I lowered my face and raised my voice hoarsely. "Any news yet?""Not yet." Roger shook his head, cautiously observing my expression before saying his following sentence. “I am afraid the search is more difficult than we previously planned. If it's bad, the search could take a few days."Hearing this, I impatiently grabbed Roger by the collar, stared at him, and roared. “Useless, a bunch of people who claim to be the best but still can't find a single person. If so, what do I need you for?"Roger was so tight it was hard to breathe; he tried to explain. “I know you are worried, but please calm

He was motionless; I saw Roger's shoulders shake a little, but he didn't give up; he followed me and spoke firmly. “I will go there with you; I will be far enough away that they cannot detect me. If the situation inside is not good, I will rush in again.”“Are you looking down on me?” I glared at Roger.Roger slowly shook his head. "I do not dare. I have always admired you. But this is a dangerous situation, and I must protect my Alpha. That's first what, when I joined the elite team, Alpha Titus himself taught me."“Without my permission, you cannot leave here; you should remember you are still the one who is being punished. Don't assume I've loosened up recently, and you'd think you wouldn't listen to my orders." I use Alpha voice to talk; I rarely do that with my teammates.But what surprised me very much was Roger's determined eyes, which differed from his usual joking attitude. “Sorry, but this time I ask for permission to disobey orders. I'll get there anyway, and there's only o
