children out for lunch at a fancy restaurant, spent a delightful hour with them, then sent them back with Mia, only to disappear without a word.
I stared at the last message on my phone, one that Walter had sent me before he left: “Stay away from Ella. She is dangerous.”
Two days had passed and still had mixed feelings about the message. Why would Walter say such a thing about Ella? After all, they were strangers. Wh
As I watered the plants in the packhouse, I couldn’t help but steal glances at Ella, who was surrounded by pack members. Thanksgiving was approachin might easily misconstrue that she was already married to Reuben.
Mia mentioned that Ella had been overseeing the Thanksgiving and other major festival preparations for the past six years in Emerald Bright Pack. The c

“Why would I be angry with you?” I questioned, maintaining a neutral expression.
“I’m afraid that you might think I’m trying to take your place,” she confessed, a guilty smile tugging at her lips. However, I sensed the insincerity behind th

Her smile immediately faltered, replaced by an ugly frown.
“You shouldn’t be so confident, Willow,” the corner of her lips twitched. “Six years have changed almost every aspect of our lives,” she walked closer to m
I clenched my fists at my sides, locking eyes with her. “What do you mean by that?”
“If you want to understand the situation better, don’t forget to make an appearance at the Thanksgiving feast,” she smiled then turned on her heel to rejoin the group.
What did she mean? Why was she so confident? A jumble of emotions churned within me, unsettling my heart. Lost in thought, I failed to notice a figure
Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, I asked, “What’s the matter?” It was highly unusual for him to linger around me for so long, given that he couldn’t sight of me for even a second.
“Reuben wants your opinion on the Thanksgiving gathering for your family of four. I’m arranging it, so come inside and check the list that’s been sent for
I blinked in surprise. It was the first time Bix had spoken to me, even though he was merely trying to fulfill one of his duties.
Taking a deep breath, I followed him to the living room where he placed the list on the table for me to inspect. As I picked it up, I couldn’t help but notice
“Are you feeling unwell?” I asked casually, but his reaction seemed alarmed.
“No,” he murmured, withdrawing his hand from his stomach.

I was slightly taken aback by the sudden change of the topic that went to Reuben and I. How could his hatred towards me be connected to us? I straight and replied, “That is between Reuben and I.”

Memories of Reuben’s animosity toward his own father flooded my mind, intertwining with Bix’s words. Since my return to this pack I hadn’t seen Alpha L
I sat there for a long time, pondering everything. Why was I being blamed for things that I wasn’t even aware of?
Taking a deep breath, I made a decision. I needed to uncover everything that had transpired in this pack and Reuben’s life during the past six years. I ha
what had happened to Reuben and why they accused me of ruining his life.
If I didn’t unravel this mystery, I knew it would haunt me for the rest of my life. I had to uncover
very detail about Reuben’s life during the past six years that I had been absent. It became my top priority and the most significant challenge of my life.
Little did I know, the biggest upheaval had already silently arrived in my life, like a gentle wave lapping the shore before the storm.
Somewhere far away, a werewolf pack lay deserted, the land surrounding it resembling a barren wasteland. The houses stood with doors thrown open, t over the once- beautiful land.
A gentle wind pushed aside the curtains of the packhouse, infiltrating the Alpha’s office. where two figures sat across from each other under a dim light. A
malevolent aura.
The Alpha’s hands trembled violently as he reached for a chess piece. It was his turn to make a move, but a single wrong decision would spell the end o
Paralyzed by the fear of making a mistake, the hand holding the chess piece hovered in mid– air. He ever so slightly glanced up at the figure leisurely seated on the sofa with their legs crossed and face partially obscured in the dim light. As his eye

“Checkmate,” a deep voice intoned, bringing the game to its inevitable conclusion.
Alpha Rick’s heart leapt into his throat as he watched his king topple from the chessboard.
It was over. He had lost the game that would determine his fate. Raising his eyes slightly, he met a pair of eyes with different colors, akin to a ghost’s sta
The Alpha nearly tumbled from his seat in horror at the sight of the man before him. He… he was no ordinary werewolf! He was a monster!!
“Please, spare me! Please!!” he cried, pleading desperately, his skin burning with the intensity of the man’s gaze but mostly from the silence.
Rick knew that he was doomed. He didn’t understand how or why he had become the sole person of the pack, forced to play a life–and– death game of chess with the man before him who had just walked into his pack as if he were on an evening stroll. Only now that he had lost, he decided
“I will damn well kill you!!” With a roar, Alpha Rick staggered in fear before lunging at the man, only to be swiftly sliced in two.
Alpha Rick’s lifeless body crumpled to the floor of his own packhouse.
