Chapter 3

Kelly returned the gaze of the man before her who claimed to be the Alpha. From his bluish gaze, Kelly could see a huge battle going on, and she could see several giant wolves being thrown into the trees and lying either alive or dead.

It looked so chaotic that Kelly swallowed when she realized the atmosphere was not conducive. She could tell the war was unbalanced because of the different forces involved.

"Have you seen it?"

The man's deep voice brought Kelly to her senses; she looked at his face seriously and then took a breath for a few moments.

"Why did the war happen?"

The man smiled softly, then straightened up and looked at Kelly's face, who was still looking at him thoughtfully.

"My father is the oldest Alpha now in that clan. At the same time, I am the son of Luna, who passed away a few years ago. Back then, my father didn't love my mother; he just loved one of the wolf descendants who wasn't his eternal mate. My father was so blind to love that he couldn't tell right from wrong. Even when moon goodness determined his fate, he did not want to accept my mother as his mate." The man named Alan visibly tightened his jaw as he told about that.

"My mother is a sincere woman who still accepted my father with all her might and all she could even though her heart ached because my father did not love her. She took him and tried to knock his heart out. But she couldn't, and I, who was born at that time, was in danger of dying if my mother didn't transfer me to the human world. As an adult, I returned to my family's wolf clan, but my father did not accept me and started a war. My advisor said that my father lost his sanity due to the influence of his current mate, who was none other than my father's wife, not Luna, but someone he wanted until he hurt my mother back then.

"He wasn't happy to see me come and wasn't happy with the declaration of fate that said I should take over the clan's power and have my father step down because he wasn't fit to be Alpha any longer. There was a lot of damage done; he made the wolf clan turn into a terrible place for people who wanted freedom. I built my settlement and clan a bit far away and on the mountainside, but my father eventually found out because of the incitement of his second wife. So now my followers and I are under heavy attack from my father, and there is only one way to destroy my father's power and strength: the heritage and strength that lies within you. You are my eyes; I need you to save my followers and my Clan," he explained at length while looking at Kelly with a severe face.

Kelly looked at the image of the wolf on her glowing hand. As if confirming the truth of the man's words in front of her. It's just that Kelly looked at Alan's face with her usual flat gaze as if she was not excited about what this man had said.

"Since when did you recognize me as your mate? How can you be so sure that it's me?"

Alan smiled and then moved closer to her neck and inhaled the scent of Kelly's body with that seductive look on his face.

"I recognized the scent of your body, and I recognized you when you were a child. You and I both lived in the human world all this time. It's just that I lived alone and was wandering around as a child until I was adopted as a child by a wealthy man who found me on the streets. From a young age, I've known my own identity, and I've also found you. I need you and won't force you if you don't want to marry me." Alan said with a serious look on his face. "It's just that you are my eternal mate, and no man will be able to touch and possess you."

Kelly looked at the man's handsome face with a face that was still as flat as before. "Not forcing me to marry you means you don't want to take me as the real Luna. Is it because you like another woman? You like someone, and the same story will repeat itself like your mother who had to die and eat her heart just because your father didn't love her?" Kelly asked flatly, making Alan silent.

"I don't know, for now. I don't have any feelings for you other than having to remember you because you are my century partner. I won't marry you but will still mark you as my eye, then also have to help me."

Kelly chuckled coldly at this man's words. "Ridiculous," she said flatly, making Alan raise his eyebrows. "Do you think that I'm a stupid girl? I'm not unaware of the news of the CEO of W Company, Mr. Alan. I know your father is setting you up with a woman who is suitable for you. That woman is the daughter of his business partner who has benefited you.

"You've been living in the world and being his adopted daughter for several years. I'm just telling you that I won't help someone who will dump me someday. I don't want to be a tortured Luna like your mother, and one more thing, I will never allow you to sign me as your Luna as long as I don't want to. You can't force me even if you are an Alpha and future wolf king." Kelly said sharply, making Alan narrow his eyes.

"You're threatening an Alpha?"

"You are not yet an Alpha if your father is still in charge." Kelly pushed the man's sturdy body with a strong movement, causing Alan to take a few steps back. "Remember this one thing, Alpha Candidate. I may indeed be your Master, but I am not someone who lives to be taken advantage of. I realize my power, and I can control it. I have the heirlooms you need and will never fall under your control as long as I don't want to. I'm not a foolish woman who will help gain the power of the Wolf Clan, but then I'll get dumped, and you'll marry the woman you were set up with.

"It's the modern century, and a woman doesn't have to fall in either. Plus, I'm not an ordinary woman, and I can do whatever I want. I will never be the Luna who dies of heartbreak watching her husband love another woman. If you're looking for a weak Luna who you can easily order around, you're wrong if you think I am, too. Because I am Kelly Flora, not some ordinary woman you can control," Kelly said firmly before walking away from the man's room.

Alan Wolfmes smiled wryly, took a breath, and felt the soft and intoxicating scent of Kelly that captivated his passion.

"What an attractive girl... You must be mine, the one and only, Kelly Flora."
