Era thought that leaving Avaluna Village and never seeing Amias again would be the end of all the chaos in her life. But it seemed she was wrong. Fate still enjoyed throwing new chaos her way. New problems appeared, like shadows that promised to follow her endlessly.At first, these problems didn't bother Era much. Her life experiences had taught her not to be afraid to face problems. She believed that no matter what the problem was, it would eventually come to an end.Unfortunately, that wasn't the case now. Era realized that the problems she was facing also affected those around her. Amias and Dree were two such examples.Era didn't want to think negatively, but the worry came unbidden. In the end, she was haunted by one question. What if something bad happens to the people around me?Era's heart was restless. Her mind was unsettled. Every passing second felt agonizing. She kept hoping that Philo would soon provide the information they needed. But it didn't seem to be that easy for

"Daniel, how are things? Is everything ready?"Daniel Callahan nodded. "Everything is ready, Alpha. We're ready for your orders.""Good." Teagan took a deep breath. His face hardened, a mixture of tension and determination. Then he turned. "You'll stay by my side, won't you?""Until death, Alpha. I will never leave you."Teagan nodded. Then he approached Daniel. He took both of Daniel's upper arms. "I am deeply grateful to the Moon Goddess. As an Alpha, there's nothing more comforting than having a trustworthy and reliable Beta. And you, Daniel, are not just a beta to me, you are more than that."Daniel felt a wave of emotions that could not be put into words. There was something warming about it, but on the other hand, there was a creeping, chilling fear, like a messenger of unpleasant premonitions."We must have a great celebration after this war."Daniel nodded. "Of course, Alpha."The door opened at the same time. Teagan and Daniel both turned around. They saw Cecilia enter."Ceci

Ursa took a deep breath as she felt a tightness in her chest, finishing the heartbreaking story she had just shared with Era. She tried to hold back the sadness that she realized hadn't diminished at all, even though days had passed. The pain and sorrow of that day remained deeply etched in her memory.A moment passed and Ursa continued after she had regained her composure. "Since that day, Beta Daniel has temporarily assumed the position of Alpha. He became the interim Alpha until Alpha Oscar was mature enough to become the next Alpha. You could say he was a very happy man to see Alpha Oscar grow up strong and healthy like he is now. He—" Ursa's words stopped abruptly when she saw a tear rolling down Era's cheek. "Luna."Era blinked. She quickly wiped the tear away and tried to smile. "I never imagined that Oscar's life was like this. All this time I thought he was a reckless man who lacked patience."Ursa's sadness found some comfort in Era's remark and she finally smiled. "Alpha ha

The silence of the night was ominous. Instead of the usual calm, there was a tension in the air that made every muscle tense.There was no peace. No serenity. Comfort and security seemed like distant concepts, forgotten as if they never existed, and the subconscious mind was disturbed by the emergence of anxiety.Era's sleep was disturbed. She tossed and turned in endless restlessness, groaning and writhing, as if trying to free herself from the invisible chains that held her captive.Era became increasingly restless. Her subconscious movements showed genuine concern. Her struggles became uncontrollable, as if racing against the ticking clock that spun time in a thrilling spin.The air grew heavy. The wind stopped blowing. The coolness that had once existed was replaced by a suffocating heat. The temperature rose, creating a heat trap, with gnashing flames igniting into terrifying tongues of fire.Fear loomed. Torment followed. Everything felt overwhelmed by an aura of intimidation th

"Did you take your motion sickness medicine?"Irene turned to see Thad approaching. She decided to postpone her intention to open the car door for a moment. She answered Thad's question with a slight nod. "Of course. I don't want to throw up on the way."Thad grinned at Irene's sullen expression. "Good luck," he said, holding out his hand to open the car door for Irene. "I'll take you to Opulence Bistro for soup."Irene's eyes lit up as Thad mentioned the name of the famous restaurant. She smiled broadly. "I'll hold you to that promise."The short conversation ended there. Then Irene got into the car and Thad closed the door. The car drove off a short time later.Thad waited a moment, at least ten minutes, to make sure he wasn't at a suspicious distance from Irene's car. When he felt that was enough, he put on his helmet, started his motorcycle, and rode off.*Irene clenched her jaw as she gripped the steering wheel. A twinge of anxiety arose in her mind, causing her to quickly calm
