HunterI drove to the jewelry shop with Anthony, staring in my passenger's seat. He was eager to get there. As soon as I placed the car in drive and opened the door to the jewelry shop, the kid ran inside, looking in every display in search of his amulet. "Oh, young Alpha, good to see you, sir!" the jewelry shop owner says, making me smile, greeting him with a firm handshake."Good to see, Frederick," I reply, nodding slightly."And who do we have here? What's your name, young man?" he asks, smiling at Anthony."Im... I'm Anthony," he replies shyly, hiding behind me and making Fred chuckle. With shaky hands, Anthony extends his hand, shaking Fred firmly."Wow, firm shaky there bud. I see our young master has already taught you well." Fred says, looking at me with a smile and making Anthony blush."Yes. I want to grow up and be strong like Hunter is." He says proudly, making me chuckle. I pat his shoulder, making him lower his head with a big smile."Well, Anthony. It's good to meet

Abbie’s POV(A FEW DAYS LATER, three days before the king's ball) I hummed a song as I made my way through the hallways of one of our elementary schools. I can't tell you how excited I get each time I visit a school. And the kids are so amazing. They have all welcomed me with open arms. The day went by so fast that I didn't feel time passed. It was now a few minutes after school, and most kids had already left for home, so I was on my way to pick up Anthony in the teacher's lounge, where I asked him to wait for me."Luna Abbie!" I hear someone call for me, making me turn. "Yes," I said, smiling.My heart skipped a beat when I noticed it was my stepmom and her daughter, Chloe. Her tiny hand grips her mom delicately, and she smiles as she looks up at me. Chloe's eyes resemble her mom’s big blue eyes, but her hair is long, with natural waves and black like her dad’s. But I’m glad she looks more like her mom. She’s very pretty."Uh... hi," I said, a bit nervous. Nervous? Why am I anxious

EloraI must have fallen asleep on the plane sometime during the flight. I was running through a forest. It was dark... really dark. Much darker than usual, even my natural werewolf abilities to see at night were diminished."Mom.... Help me!" I could hear her crying out for me, making me want to run faster and faster. But the harder I tried, the harder it got for my legs to move. They felt heavy, almost as if trying to run underwater. "Abbie! I'm coming," I yelled from the top of my lungs, but it was as if I had become mute. I tried telling again, but my voice came out low... almost in a whisper. "Abbie, I'm coming. Where are you?" "Aaaaahhhh... Help me. Matisa is here. She's here, Mom," my daughter's voice was pained. I could hear the agony in her voice, making me break into tears as I fought through my incompetence to move faster."ABBIE!" I yelled once more, right before my foot slipped and made me fall, but I was able to put my hands forward, making me land on my knees.Then

Hunter's POVI sat in the middle of a private room inside the King's castle. My eyes bulged as I looked into space. I was dazed. My mind could not wrap around everything that had just been discussed here. How... how am I going to break all this information to Abbie? If she finds out I know the truth about her and didn't tell her... she's going to kill me."Nothing about what we talked about today can leave this room. Are we understood?" the king warns us, making me raise a brow, still feeling dumbfounded. My baby... my Abbie... my cardigan girl... the daughter of the notorious Alpha, Elora. So, done smack me or pinch me, I think I'm dreaming. Holy shits man... my girl is actually more powerful than I thought. I mean, don't get me wrong, my sassy diva is one strong woman. I never doubted that, but she's actually a hybrid.... A fucking hybrid! No wonder she was able to make Titus submit to her even before we marked her. I sighed... blinking to make myself come back from my trance, a
