Alisha's POVAfter hearing Uncle Joey and his daughter Evita's conversation, a surge of anger ran over my body. It was obvious that they had also come to Blood Dawn, but Evita and Joey were just ordinary guests, uninvited and thus ineligible to attend the formal ceremony. No wonder she was so furious, but to insult my mother so casually, Evita must pay the price for her actions. Despite losing my childhood memories, I would never allow anyone to disrespect my family. Feeling much better now and regaining some strength, I got up and walked to a window near the garden, hiding behind the curtains as I secretly observed what they were up to."Evita!" Uncle Joey's stern voice stopped her in her tracks. He cautiously looked around, seemingly concerned about being overheard by others. I quickly hid behind the curtain. After a while, feeling safer, Joey spoke seriously and in a low voice, "How many times have I told you! Do not mention anything about Alisha's parents ever again!"Evita seem

Alisha's POVUnder the veil of night, I stealthily trailed behind Joey, leaving the garden behind. He skillfully avoided the crowd, coming to a quiet clearing that faced a dark and terrifying forest. Although I was unfamiliar with this place, the eerie and dreadful atmosphere emanating from the forest confirmed its sinister reputation as the legendary Dark Forest.I felt terrible scared to stay close to this ominous forest, and the air itself seemed to thicken with an overwhelming darkness. As I gazed at the foreboding forest from afar, it felt as if a heavy boulder pressed against my chest, making it difficult to breathe. My head pounded, and a dissonant ringing filled my ears. Clutching my wedding ring tightly, I sought strength from it, almost like a talisman. Surprisingly, my blurred vision began to clear, and the screams in my mind subsided, as if the ring itself held some mysterious power.Joey hesitated in front of the Dark Forest, his eyes scanning the inky ex

Alisha's POVI watched in awe as Louie's power manifested, the icy aura surrounding him making him look like a mythical figure, a king of ice and snow. His eyes glowed with intensity, a mixture of anger and determination. In that moment, he appeared larger than life, a force to be reckoned with.The forest fell into an eerie silence as Louie's icy power held the rogue wolves captive. The tension in the air dissipated, replaced by an otherworldly calm. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing – Louie had not only saved me from the impending danger but also incapacitated the entire pack of rogue wolves.The realization of Louie's extraordinary abilities filled me with awe and gratitude. Louie's dual nature never ceased to amaze me. In my memory, he had always been a gentle werewolf, someone who cherished art, loved music, and possessed a kind and caring heart. I never could have imagined that the same Louie would display such astonishing power on the battlefield.

Alisha's POVLola's expertise in healing was truly remarkable. With skilled precision, she tended to my wound, cleaning it thoroughly before gently wrapping it in fresh bandages. Her experienced hands moved swiftly yet carefully, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude wash over me. "You're lucky this time," she said with a hint of relief in her voice. "The wound isn't too deep, and the rogue's claws didn't carry any poison. Otherwise, you would have been in grave danger." I silently thanked Moon Goodness for sparing me from more serious harm.With the wound neatly bandaged, she handed me a new set of clothes, and her considerate gesture touched my heart. "Your clothes got torn while treating the wound, so you can wear mine for now."I gratefully accepted the clothes she provided. The soft fabric was a welcome change from the tattered and blood-stained clothing I had been wearing. I quickly changed into the fresh garments, feeling more comfortable

Alisha's POVAs I looked at the man standing before me, someone I had briefly met after the interview, my mind buzzed with surprise and puzzlement. "Gray?" I called out his name, unable to contain my astonishment.Gray nodded slightly, his eyes filled with concern as he asked, "Are you okay? Is the injury severe?"Lola's expression looked utterly surprised, as if she had never seen her Alpha speak so gently before. She exchanged glances with the other pack members, and they all seemed taken aback by Gray's unexpected behavior.Gray's question caught me off guard. When I had encountered Gray before, I had mistaken him for an ordinary human. But now, with the revelation that he was the Alpha of the Blood Dawn pack, responsible for guarding the perilous Dark Forest, my perception of him shifted entirely. The recent rogue attack flashed in my mind, and I trembled at the thought of the dangers he and his pack faced.Trying to regain my composure, I replied, "I fe
