Weeping love grass, when used on a pregnant she-wolf, could heal any problem the pregnant woman had without side effects but could also affect the love life of the she-wolf, making her repulsive to her mate.

Raven was already aware of this, but since the moon goddess was going to be summoned, she hoped that the side effects of the weeping love grass would not affect their Luna.

"Please do it, Ray."

Ray didn’t ask any more questions and ran off, as it was easy to gather all those grasses since they had planted them months ago. There was no herb that the Dark Moon pack did not have.

Even the poisonous ones had other benefits and were planted with caution for the pack members.

Some were planted in small quantities and others in large quantities. Soon, Ray returned, and as Raven prepared the herbs, Alice summoned the moon goddess.

"Goddess of all werewolves, Serene, show yourself to save your own," she cried, and all the pack warriors remained on their knees.

The pack members who had been sent to the safe house before had all joined them with their knees on the ground.

The light from the moon was bright, almost equivalent to the sun, indicating the presence of the moon goddess, but she did not appear as expected.

Only her voice was heard, which most people thought was a good sign. Her appearance, when summoned, would surely leave a curse behind.

The familiar voice echoed through the pack, causing heads to spin around curiously.

"Don’t beg me. Your Alpha has the solution to every problem. He never obeyed the rules of the ethereal realm even when it involved his mate, so what do you expect from me?" Selene asked.

Alpha Denzel was about to respond, but Alice beat him to it, afraid that he might anger the moon goddess.

Also, she was the one who summon the moon goddess, and hence, had to take responsibility, even if it meant sacrificing her powers. But would Selene accept such a sacrifice?

"Selene, our Luna saved the pack, and it wouldn’t be fair for her to lose her pup, the heir of the pack. If it pleases you, then take my powers and let our Luna live."

Alpha Denzel was moved to tears. It seemed to him that the love and kindness shown always came around, but there was yet another surprise.

"You can take me and my twin brother’s gifts instead of hers. Our Luna and her pup matter most," Raven said, but there was more.

This time, it was not just one voice.

"Please, Selene, take something from each of us, but not the pup or the powers of those two selfless she-wolves," the warriors pleaded in unity, still on their knees.

There was another moment of silence before her voice was heard once more.

"It’s true that good deeds deserve rewards, and your willingness to save your Luna’s pup has touched the ethereal realm. But your Alpha has the solution. One must lose something to gain something."

Alpha Denzel thought he understood Selene’s echoing voice, and instantly spoke up.

"Selene, if this has to do with her powers, you can take them back."

Yes, they could live without depending on them, but Selene’s response was unexpected.

"Those rogues aren’t dead and would return because they also did not feed well. How would you fight them without her powers? They escaped before she could completely destroy them," Selene revealed, but Alpha Denzel no longer seemed afraid.

The repulsive herb worked, so next time, they could work on some poison. That idea did not come previously, but it did now, meaning they could defeat those rogues without Alice or Valerie’s powers.

"I don’t have a problem with them. I will find ways to end them for good," Alpha Denzel said with determination.

He had constantly saved the lives of his pack members, so why should he allow his pup to die just like that?

The scales were finally falling from his eyes, as he returned to who he used to be, never settling for less.

"Don’t forget, Denzel, that those underground rogues are also my creation. They have been confined there with no chance to die because of a sin they committed. Their very existence is a curse, and the only reason they are forced to come out is due to hunger."

The revelation stunned everyone. No one wondered why the underground rogues were hard to kill, but when they saw the giant one still on the floor, their hopes returned.

If they could kill one, then they could kill all, but at this moment, they had one focus: their pup.

"Curse or no curse, I will kill them for invading my pack. But as for my pup, I want him back. Valerie’s only mistake was exchanging his life for her powers, so take back her powers. We don’t need them anymore."

Before now, they had always gone to war or defended the pack without any powers, emerging victorious.

"You have an alternative, so why are you sweating over this pup?" The moon goddess asked. Only Denzel understood, as no one else knew that Alessia had birthed twins.

"If you wanted me to settle for that option, then you would not have given us the chance to carry our own pup. Just take back the powers because I won’t let you have my pup."

Now the conversation got personal, with only the Alpha and the moon goddess knowing what they were talking about. Denzel’s voice was so stern, unafraid of offending the moon goddess.

"It’s too late for that. Her powers can no longer be taken because she only used them for good. After birthing her pup, both her wolf and powers will return stronger."

Alpha Denzel stiffened, and went into deep thought. If Valerie was no longer with her wolf and powers, then it meant her pup was not dead.

Also, the moon goddess spoke about after she birthed her pup. So, what did it mean when Alpha Denzel knew that the moon goddess would not just make it so easy for him?

"What is the catch to this juicy offer?" He asked.
