Chapter 42: She is My Destiny
Atrias’s POV
Stop joking! How could my destiny possibly be secondhand?!
Atrias Elliotson, the most powerful Alpha of the South, unexpectedly encountered his fate at such a casual dinner party.
Every time I thought about it, my insomnia grew worse.
When I finally met her in person, I was even more perplexed. Had the Alpha from the Meadows lost his mind to part ways with such a captivating woman?
If she possessed Alpha genes, she would surely sense my excitement right now.
Her marriage to Elliott was already a mere formality, so as long as I wanted to claim her, she would undoubtedly accept me without hesitation.
The thought of soon having my own family was nearly overwhelming.
My father had vanished when I was very young, leaving my mother to raise me alone. As a result, my youth was incredibly challenging, as I had to prepare to take over the Southern territory.
What I hadn’t anticipated was that Elliott, the useless fool, would allow a Northern Alpha to take her away.
Sebastian Agrigent, that man had stolen my possessions for the second time!
Attacking the North was a foolish idea; many lives had been unexpectedly lost in the process, and I had felt despair over it too. But I could no longer endure it….
How could my fate be so sorrowful? If I showed weakness, my destiny would become as tragic as my mother’s–never to see my fated mate and burdened for life with the names of a lover and a bastard child.
If I had been born in the North, I should have had the opportunity to inherit the Alpha title, yet all of that was ruined by Sebastian, his mother, and even that stepmother.
I was very destiny.
Curious about what Elliott’s expression would be if he knew Melissa was my
As for how I would bring her back to my side, there was only one way! I would take back everything from Sebastian–my territory and my destined lover.
Since he could conquer some regions, I could do the same.
With overwhelming strength, I unified most of the Southern Bay. Aside from the Bay Pack, I would eventually take them down too. But as for the North, I was at a loss. As time passed, my despair grew deeper.

:86%:
In search of support, I had convened the Southeast–West Alliance meetings multiple times through the Special Missions Bureau. I needed more people to understand that we were uniting to attack the North.
Using the history of past invasions and tempting them with shared interests, many Alphas were willing to back me. But Elliott Kauffman–perhaps I’ve underestimated him.
This man not only disliked trouble but was also highly intelligent, analyzing the pros and cons of war with such depth that he completely refused to get involved.
To ra
gauge the current situation in the North, after gaining the support of most, I chose to launch a surprise attack on the North.
Honestly, I suspected the outcome might not be favorable, but I hadn’t anticipated. Sebastian would respond so quickly. He saw through all my schemes and, with overwhelming force, dismantled our alliance.
I needed Elliott to understand that Sebastian’s rule was a mistake. If this madness continued unchecked, we would lose any chance to fight back.
How much more would we have to pay? What else could we do to resist the North’s attacks?
Elliott released his lover because of fate, but under Sebastian’s might, he dared not approach Melissa again.
I, however, was different. The powerful attraction between Melissa and me, coupled with my desire for power in the North, compelled me to launch another attack.
The Moon Goddess united us, creating her for me, and I certainly wouldn’t let her go easily.
But now the news had spread: Melissa was about to become the new Luna of the North, a prospect that filled me with disdain.
However, thinking about his situation, I feel she may not be truly sincere, but merely trying to survive.
After all, following her departure from the Meadow, Elliott had built a new family with his fated mate and even had children. This behavior must have deeply hurt her, so to ensure a better life in the North, she had to cling to a powerful man.
Later, I learned that the dark Alpha allowed Elliott Kauffman and Melissa to exchange letters.
In her replies, Melissa made it clear that she had severed ties with the Meadow, stating that Sebastian had given her land and wealth, allowing her to live happily in the North.
I considered writing to her, but it saddened me that she hadn’t reached out to me for help
first.
That day, I had expressed my feelings and intentions to her, even stating my willingness to have her as my Luna, but it seemed she hadn’t taken my words to heart.

Chapter 42: She is My Destiny
Lying on the grass alone, I listened to my Beta reporting on the situation in the North.
Obsessed with fate, I rarely entangled myself bringing anyone home.
with women; I had no interest in dating or
Only fate could fulfill me, yet I never imagined… my fated mate would not only be with another man and have children, but now also live with someone else.
“No, absolutely not! Brook, we cannot allow him to stay in the North. We need to accelerate our plans and prepare for any potential attacks from the North.”
Brook, as the Beta of the South, was aware of all my movements, but he fell silent now.
“However, Alpha… their leader has warned us multiple times. The alliance has just begun to stabilize; we need to wait a little longer.”
The elder Alpha of the Eastern Pack, who had suffered oppression in his youth and still bore the burden of taxes, was willing to cooperate with me..
He was even ready to persuade Elliott to join the alliance for my sake, and I knew this was a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity.
“By the way, Alpha! The Alpha of the Forest Pack is visiting you tonight. Do you have time for him? I can arrange for him to wait in the conference room.”
I nodded, trying to steady my mental state. I needed to remain friendly towards my allies.
“Hello, Alpha Geoffrey. Thank you so much for agreeing to help us. It seems the people from the North and other regions have some misunderstandings about you; they believe you to be a brutal man, but it appears that the issue lies with them.”
I knew that Geoffrey wasn’t exactly a gentle soul, but provoking him right now was not a wise choice.
“Stop joking, Alpha Atrias. You know I didn’t come here to discuss that. What are you going to do about the North? They’ve treated our captives poorly, and they’ve even turned my former wife into their trophy. That Melissa has truly fallen for that dark Alpha. My informants say she’s happily preparing to marry him.”
It was clear that he was genuinely angry and sincerely wanted to collaborate with us.
But after hearing those words, I couldn’t feel any joy; my mind was clouded with fury, and I felt an overwhelming urge to storm into the North and kill that man.
I silently prayed to the Moon Goddess, desperately wishing to emerge victorious, to reclaim the happiness and dignity that had been stripped from me since childhood!
