Everyone in the Crimson Hound was weeping for the loss of the entire Silver family, their leader. It's the Silver who formed this pack and gathered the rogues to build a pack that everyone will respect.
That was one hundred twenty years ago. He held the torch and was trembling as he approached their dead bodies. "Kassidy, Alpha Samuel, Luna Linda... thank you for everything. I promise, I'll take care of the pack from now on..."
His tears fall. He starts burning the woods. All of them howl and grieve for their loss. The council insisted that he'll manage Crimson Hound from now on even if he disagrees.
But the members insist that Alpha Samuel will surely be happy if I lead them. He agreed in the end. He looks at the sky and stares at the crescent moon.
"Goodbye, my love. I'll always remember you, Kassy."
The next few weeks, he barely sleeps. After work, he drunks his pain away. If Jayden wasn't around, he wouldn't move or start working each day.
"Miguel, you have to decide what you're planning to do with Alaric and his dad. They've been suffering for weeks already," Jayden says.
He gives Jayden a death stare. His right hand sighed. "I know you're still grieving, but we have to do something. You have to," Jayden suggests. He took a deep breath and stood up.
"Let's go to the dungeon," he says.
The moment he saw Alaric's face, his blood boiled. He didn't hold back and use a wooden stick filled with wolfsbane oil. He growls.
"Enough already! If you really want to kill us, stop torturing us!" Alaric's dad roars.
He gives the old man a death glare. His nails get longer, and he strikes the chest. "Aaggghh!" Alaric's dad screams, and when his nails reach the surface of his heart, he makes sure the old man feels the pain.
"Kill me already!" Alaric's dad screams.
He pulls out his heart and throws it on the bowl of fire. Alaric grunted in fear and pain. "You're a monster!" Alaric roars. That hit him.
He grabs Kassidy's favorite weapon, a dagger. He struck Alaric's heart and slowly twisted it around. "How about you, huh?! Did you know how much Kassidy sacrifices for you?!"
He pulls out the dagger and stabs Alaric several times. He throws the dagger, and Jayden gives him a towel. "She almost sacrifices half of her lifeline to write your fucking name in her mate stone. She disobeys her own parents for you!" he screams.
He suddenly remembers the bloodied body of the woman he loves the most. "The torture you received isn't even close to the pain she feels because of your betrayal. Therefore..." he pauses. He looks at Jayden.
Jayden stood behind Alaric and grabbed his head, forcing the bastard to open its mouth. He grabs the one gallon of wolfbane oil. He starts pouring the liquid in Alaric's mouth and watches him thunderously scream in pain.
Alaric and his dad's body was burned that night, but no one pays their respect after what they did to their beloved alpha, Luna, and their daughter. He also erased any data about them and Jillian's family.
They are nothing but a memory, and everything about them was erased in existence. Later that night, he was at the balcony of the Silver mansion. He was holding a glass of brandy, sitting on Kassidy's favorite swing.
He realized that tonight was a full moon. He scoffs bitterly. "Tell me, you moon. Does the moon goddess exist, huh? If she does, will she even grant my foolish wish?" I uttered bitterly. He drinks all the brandy in the glass and raises it. He looks at the reflection of the moon in the glass.
"If you really exist... can give me a chance to change her fate. I want a second chance to be with her... If you can give me that, I'll surely fight for her love..."
He leans and laughs like an idiot, slowly closes his eyes, and lets the glass slip in his hand, hoping for a miracle.
Miguel gasps, and the glass in his hand slips. He looks at the shattered glass. "Miguel, what happened?" Jayden asks.
He raises his head and frowns when he sees his right hand wearing a suit. "Since when did you fancy wearing those clothes, Jayden?" he questions.
Jayden smacks his nape. "You forced me, dumb*ss. This is your fault," Jayden growls.
He looks around and sees what is written on the big screen. "Huh? Happy 20th anniversary, Alpha and Luna?!" he roars.
He starts to take a step and run around, looking for the people he wants to see. "Miguel, stop! Excuse us. Sorry!" Jayden calls.
He stopped when he saw them. "What the heck was that, Miguel?" Jayden asks. "Punch me," he commands.
"What?! Are you stupid, huh?!" Jayden exclaimed.
His eyes glow. "It's a command," he asserts.
Jayden's jaw clenched, and he threw a punch at his face. He was moved for a meter before he managed to control his balance. "What are you two doing?!" Luna Linda roars.
Jayden bows. He turns his head and looks at them. A warmth filled his heart. Did the moon goddess grant his foolish request? If she is... He's glad that he is back!
[The moon goddess grants my request. I'm glad she heard me... I'm finally back! I can rewrite our fate!]
"What is happening to the two of you?" Alpha Samuel asks. He missed them so much! Those twenty weeks feel like death for him. "Miguel?" Luna Linda asks.
He simply smiled sad and relieved. "It's nothing, Alpha and Luna. I'm glad to be back," he says.
He even cracks his voice but stops himself from showing tears in their joyous celebration. "You're really annoying jack*ss," Kassidy growls, glaring at him.
He took a step closer. Alaric gets between them. He uses his speed and is now standing behind Kassidy. He wraps his hand around her waist. "Hello... my love," he greeted softly.
(A/N: I just want to emphasize to everyone that the close and open brackets represents the inner thoughts of Miguel which Kassandra can hear.)
