Cindy’s POV
“You should kill that brutal Alpha of yours and then come to me We’ll leave here together” In the dim
dungeon, Cutter’s voice rang in my ears.
1 clenched my fist, gritted my teeth, and said, “No. I won’t betray my Pack I promised Alpha. I swore to
him.”
1 swallowed the sour taste in my throat and continued, “I almost betrayed him at the border and told
you our battle plan. He obviously grew suspicious towards me, but he still gave me a second chance I
can’t…”
“You can’t what? Beiray him? He did you a little favor, and you gave him your life?!”
Cutter approached me His budy was covered with scars, and the smell of blood filled the air However, I
could also smell a forest scent that belonged to him among everything else.
He reached out his hand and squeezed my chin. “Don’t forget that I’m your mate, Cindy! You belong to
me, not lim! Wliy do you always bring up that bloodthirsty murderer?!” I recalled back to the battlefield a
few days ago. When I followed Alpha Enzo against the incoming Rogues, I never thought I would meet
my mate, their leader We were fighting on the battlefield, trying to kill each other, when a forest scent
wrapped around me
His wolf paw was on my chest, but he retracted his claws once bie niade sure I was his miale
He lowered his head closely to my face, whispering that only the both of us could hear, “Come with
me.”
Those were the first words he said to me As though waking up from a dream, 1 hesitated a few
seconds before saying, “No.”
Cutter gave me a sullen look, but he didn’t kill me He released me, then turned to fight the other
soldiers. Standing on the battlefield filled with slaughter, I felt for the first time that Fate was toying with
me
Before I was eighteen, I had always fantasized about my mate being the Alpha everyone admired. That
was also what my mother had told me
She told me that I was the only one worthy of my Alpha So, I trained hard I accompanied him to the
battlefields and fought for him. But on the day of my eighteenth birthday, all my dreams were
shattered.
I wasn’t his mate. As I felt depressed and lost, about to give up on Enzo, my mother told me it didn’t
matter. I
could still become Luma through my own efforts
I chased away all the women who tried to approax 1 Enzo just to be able to stand by his side
But then, he brought back a marriage partner
What was so great about that woman?
Besides her beauty and a stupid land heart, she wasn’t good at anything else I couldn’t see what Enzo
lilard about her!
I was the one who deserved him, a woman who could be his right hand, not some trash like her
What was even more absurd was how my dreams were instantly shattered at this moment
My mate was, in fact, a vidous Rogue
That was pure shame!
But But when his scent wrapped around me, when he pulled his woli claws and fangs away from my
chest, when he whispered to me, asking him to leave with him. I couldn’t help but feel moved
I struggled immensely After hearing Enzo’s battle plan, Cutter’s death Mashed through my mind, which
terrified me and my woli to the core
Propelled by the fear coursing through my veins, I made the boldest decision in all I wenty years of my
life I risked being discovered, trying to cross the border barrier when the moon was dark and the wind
was high to look for Cutter, wanting to tell him our battle plan
But my Alpha appeared suddenly His deep eyes seemnel to see through my very soul hidden beneath
my slan linsisted that I had only wanted to launch an ambush at the Rogues
I could tell that he didn’t believe me al all by the expression on his face, but lie didn’t treat me like a
traitor, perhaps because I had fought by luis side for so many years Instead, he gave me a second
chance
That’s why I couldn’t betray my Alpha
I shook my head looking at Cutter “My Alpha is not a murderer I don’t know where you got that
misconception, but I’m his soldier I understand him He’s a qualified leader” “You inis: him that much?
Cutter frowned as he grabbed my shoulder “He must have brainwashed you Wake up!
“If it weren’t for his bloodthirsty, barbarous, and greedy tendencies, why would i become a Rogue?
Cutler’s ages gleaned with halted. “Alpha Enzo is shameless He cared to sneak up on my Pack while
our soldiers were out tuning They killed our aging Alphia tobbed our supplies, bumed our Pack, and
even let hus soldiers defile the women in any Pack Our relatives ate all dead’ Doesn’he deserve death
for that? My heart beat wildly in my chest. To be honest, I knew that Enzo had never gone soft facing
huis enemies.
But at the same time, he would never kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he wouldn’t take the
initiative to attack other packs
I gulped, trying to digest Cutter’s words. Then, I shook my head and said, “?- impossible We never took
the initiative to attack other Packs Even if there were wai, we’d never resort to burning or robbing
others or humiliating the old and weak.” I narrowed my eyes and looked at Culler “What was you Pack
called?” “The Night Fang Pack”
I was stunned I didn’t remember ever having any conflict with this Pack, nor had I heard its name
before
“Impossible,” I denied once more “We’ve never fought your Pack There’s no such massacre” “You.
What? You’ve never?” Cutter looked at me in shock
I nodded firmly “Yes I’ve been with my Alpha on the battlefield ever since I was seventeen years old I
remember every battle we fought If we really attacked your Pack back then, 1 would remember.”
“Bul_ “Cutter had a dazed look in his eyes. He raised his hand and pressed it on the center of his
brows. “Bul Ernest told me himself that in the massacre, the enemy was wearing Cold Moon Pack’s
totem”
“No We wouldn’t be so cruel Who is this Emest you’re talking about?”
Cutter frowned “He’s an old man who survived the massacre What? You think he’d lie to me) “The facts
are indeed pointing to that.” “Bul.”
“I’m your mate,” I said, cupping his face and looking him in the eyes. “I wouldn’t lie to you Don’t you
trust me?”
“LOf course I do. But.” “Don’t you doubt him?” I cut him off and asked, “You said it yourself, he’s just an
old man, but he survived the brutal massacre. Are you sure you don’t doubt him a single bit?” Cutter
was thoroughly stunned After a long silence, I sighed. “Perhaps we should investigate this more clearly,
shouldn’t we?” Cutter’s eyes were trembling, and I continued, “7ake me to this Ernest I’ll confront him”
Cutter furrowed his brows deeper, then nodded after a few moments.
