Alpha Adam
In the Opal Moon packhouse, there was a personal library reserved solely for the Alpha. Due to my position, it had been passed down to me. However, it eyed, holding the photograph in my hand.
I…I was correct. It was her.
Six years ago, during a visit to the palace, I had coincidentally witnessed Elder Frank nearly get killed by Alpha Reuben. Though I didn’t dare interrupt th everything that had transpired.
He was so terrified that his mind was no longer stable. However, he confided in me that Alpha Reuben was involved with a woman. He warned that anyone with ill intentions toward her would face Reuben’s wrath. Such statements frightened me, but what Elder Frank disclosed next surpassed my ima
Elder Frank possessed extensive knowledge, including the ability to read fate. When he encountered Reuben’s woman, he read her fate simply by gazing upon her face. He had been horrified by what he saw. Her fate was dead and buried under the shadows of the night. Anyone associated with her was destined to face misfortune and death. Every person connected to her was destined for doom.
He didn’t explain why he made such a statement, but fear prevented him from saying more. With that, he fled, leaving me with a photo of the woman. I c involving Alpha Luis and Reuben in the following years. Therefore, I kept the photo hidden in the library for reasons unknown. However, when I recently came across a clear photo of Alpha Reuben’s soulmate, I realized it was the same w I never imagined the woman Frank told me about years ago was Reuben’s soulmate!
“How dare that woman return after so many years?!” I furiously crushed her photograph in my hand. Despite knowing the ominous nature of the future th dared to give birth to two of Reuben’s children!
Frank’s statement about her twisted fate had proven true. Six years ago, the Emerald Bright Pack had been torn apart thanks to her. I lost my best friend the only woman that all the blame rested on. Her twisted fate had manifested true because as soon as she returned, she stole Reuben from Ella, ruining
Suddenly, the news of Frank’s disappearance from the Emerald Bright Pack crossed to mind. My whole body turned cold when I realized that Frank hadn
Now, Reuben had left the pack to chase after her, with every intention of bringing her back.
“F**k! I can’t let it happen. I can’t let that wretched she– wolf return to the Emerald Bright Pack and ruin everything for Ella,” I murmured, running my fingers through my hair in panic. Reuben was already obses party. She had yet to return and now it was time for me to take action.
Storming out of the library, I made my way downstairs.
“Roman!” I yelled, my Beta appeared in the living room hurriedly.
“Alpha,” he stood up straight, ready to receive orders.
“Find this she–wolf and kill her on the spot,” I commanded, slamming the photo down onto the nearby table. “Remember, she should not return to the Emerald Bright Pack alive no matter the consequences. It’s better if her ash never returns either!”
“I understand,” he replied before leaving with the photo.
I looked at the old photo of the wretched she–wolf in my hand again and tossed it into the fireplace, watching it burst into flames.

I had never been a light sleeper, but when the phone vibrated twice beside my pillow, I could no longer ignore it. Since I didn’t have my phone with me, it obviously coming from Reuben’s. My eyes landed on the clock on the wall. It was only nine PM. I was annoyed and didn’t want to talk to him, so I had be
I glanced over my shoulder to find him sound asleep. Usually, he slept very lightly. The slightest of sounds or movements would wake him, so why wasn’
When the phone vibrated again, I decided to switch it off. The problem was once my eyes landed on the name on the screen, my hand paused. It was Ella, and now she was messaging instead of calling. The corners of my lips twitched, and I decided to put it back. However, the messages continued help but read them.
“Reuben, I heard you’ve been missing from the pack for a few days now.”
“Where are you?”
“I’m worried. Please come back.”
“Can I come meet you?”
“I am…”
My hands tightened around the phone, and I slammed it down on the pillow between us. My chest burned after seeing all those messages for some reas
“Your phone is vibrating, which is kind of annoying when I’m trying to sleep. Kindly switch it off!” I snapped at the sleeping Alpha behind me and closed my eyes to sleep. However, after 10 seconds when he didn’t move, I elbowed him. “Hey, don’t play dead and quickly switch it off before I throw it out the window,” I warned. Yet, I didn’t get any response, which caused me to open my eyes in suspicion. Was he really sleeping that deeply?
I turned completely around to face him, only to find a pair of beautiful green eyes already locked with mine.
“You checked my messages just like a jealous little wife,” he teased, a smile playing on his lips that made me blush in embarrassment.
“Who the hell checked your phone?!” I punched his chest with a growl. “I put it down without reading a thing!” I quickly lied and glared at him. “And who i
“Alright, alright. You’re not my jealous little wife, you’re my jealous little mate,” he said, pulling me into a warm hug. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hey, you…” I opened my mouth to yell at him but struggled and failed when he kissed my head and continued laughing.
I frowned at him, trying not to be lured in by his breathtaking handsomeness. My heartbeat quickened, and I lowered my eyes, stealing a look at his exceptionally red cheek.
He caught me looking at him and grinned, “Do you want to say something?”
“Yes, I want to know when you’re letting me go,” I murmured, rolling my eyes.
“Right now,” he smiled, earning a shocked look from me.
Pulling away from me, he got up off the bed and placed a set of clothes beside me that I never knew he had. “Get changed and come outside,” he instructed before leaving, closing the door behind him.
In a confused state, I put on the clothes and exited the bedroom, only to find him in the living room where he handed me a set of car keys and a new phone.
“Drive slowly and safely back to the pack. It’s only nine pm so you’ll be there in an hour. This phone has Oran and Bix’s numbers programmed into it, so call them if you need to. I know you’re missing the children and want to see them as soon as possible, but still drive carefully, okay?” He touched my cheek and I stared at him without blinking, my heart quickening at this side of Reuben that was beyond my understanding.
“You’re not coming with me?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper for some reason. But wait, why did I ask him that? He had kidnapped me, so wh
He smiled. “No, I have something to handle here,” he took my hand and began leading me outside the house. “I’ll return to the pack soon. You are going first,” he opened the door for me and gestured for me to get in.
I nodded and started the car, but my eyes kept drifting back to him. For some reason, my heart was restless. Could it be because I hadn’t been expectin
I drove all the way out to the forest, lost in thoughts of Reuben. I wanted him to let me go, but when he did, I hadn’t felt even a drop of happiness or freed
His lonely figure that I watched in the mirror unsettled my soul for some reason. It felt like our final goodbye, and that thought weighed heavily on my heart. As the highway came into view in the distance, mem
He had let me go so easily, without a hug or kiss. He had simply sent me off without any physical contact, which was unlike Reuben. It was strange that Bix if I needed anything, not him. Just as the tires of the car were about to touch the highway, I slammed my foot on the brakes and pulled out my phone saw only darkness. The most peculiar thing was that he had let me go alone on this gloomy night and hadn’t followed me.
Something was emphatically wrong!
I immediately turned the car around and quickly began driving back to the house. The more I thought about Reuben’s strange behavior, the more I realized he was hiding something from me, but what? A few minutes later, I reached the house and quickly got out. For some reason, Ceri had started ac in my mind.
The front door of the house was still wide open, which I found strange. However, as soon as I stepped into the house, a sharp scent hit my nose, sending shivers down my spine.
Frozen in place, I stared at Reuben leaning against the sofa in the living room, his face flushed and groaning in pain. He raised his wolf’s eyes to lock wi
He…he was in rut.
