Matilda's POV. There is no one here except me who is on a video call with Alpha Rexton. Luckily he contacted me when I was at home. What if I'm still at the bar? I can't imagine it. Alpha Rexton's question made my heart beat fast. I choked on it. I quickly took a glass of water and drank until half was left. "The cafe was very busy, so I stayed overtime to help the other shift employees a little." "Oh, you must be very tired." I nodded. "Of course, what about your job?" "Everything is running smoothly." "When are you coming home?" "I don't know for sure yet." Alpha Rexton was seen lowering his head. "Do you miss me?" I nodded my head, even though I didn't really miss him like I did before meeting Levin. My question was just to anticipate. If he really wants to go home, maybe I will limit my meetings with Levin. I really can't choose between Alpha Rexton or Levin, I want them both. My dinner is finished. I ate it while continuing to chat with Alpha Rexton via video call. "
Matilda's POV. I woke up with my body drenched in sweat. My chest swelled and contracted due to irregular breathing. The dream I had earlier was really crazy. My hands rose to rub my face, which also felt wet and sticky. My hair also feels limp. Looking towards the window, I saw that the sky was still dark. It was two o'clock in the evening when I glanced at the wall clock. I sat on the bed trying to catch my breath and calm myself down. I sighed. "Why should I dream like that?" All of this happened because I kept thinking about that. My eyes could no longer close after waking up from a nightmare. I tried several times to go back to sleep in various positions, but I still couldn't sleep as soundly as before. I faintly heard the sound of approaching footsteps again. The quiet atmosphere around the house meant that the sound could be heard clearly. My heart beat fast when I heard the footsteps approaching. I'm afraid if what mom thinks is true. What if my house is being targeted
Matilda's POV. I couldn't say anything so I could only respond to Levin's question with a nod. My lips smiled with my eyes continuing to look at his. As if I were in my own room, I put my sling bag on the nightstand. My two feet walked closer to him. Levin patted the bed beside him which was still empty. He gave me a code to come to him. I obeyed, coming to him and resting my head on one of his shoulders. My eyes looked at his cute little underwear in the shape of a elephant's trunk. "Where did you buy it?" I asked, unable to resist stroking. "Awwhh ...." I could hear his moan when my hand first touched his dick from the outside. "I bought it when I came home some time ago." "Why did you buy it?" I frowned, removing my hand from his. "I don't know." He raised both shoulders at the same time. "It just looked cute and interesting, so I bought it." "Have you ever worn these panties with your ex-girlfriend?" "No," he answered quickly. "Today I wore it for the first time." "Are
Rexton's POV. After several days, finally all my work was finished. It's time for me to go back and rest for a while. But I don't want to go straight back to the castle. Maybe it would be better if I went to visit my girlfriend and mate first. I will give them a surprise. "Let's stop by the gift shop first, Luke." I told him. He drove the car slowly, while I sat in the middle seat checking my work results from the past few days. After a few minutes of driving, Luke stopped the car in front of a shop. I saw a very large gift shop with various types of goods on offer. Getting off the car, Beta Luke followed me from behind. He carried the trolley for me while I picked up a few items that caught my interest. "Pay the cashier, I'm waiting in the car." I said handing him the card. He nodded obediently. The car started moving again, now in the back of the car there was a lot of luggage which I would give to mother, Matilda and Amelie, the rest was for me and my family and several e
Rexton's POV. Before I had time to touch her lips with mine, Ava's hand was already holding me. She covered her mouth making me feel furious. She shook her head. "I don't want to go with you like this." She tries to threaten. Don't want to ruin a simple first date in the winter. I decided to obey. Snow is still falling, although not as much as before. Amelie walked one step in front of me. We were both still silent. Actually, I also feel confused about what I want to do here with her. "How about we go for a walk around here? Matilda never takes me for a walk around the area where she lives." I lied to her a little. "I'll be a good tour guide for you, Alpha Rexton." She looks cheerful. "Follow me." "Okay, Mrs. Pinky." I deliberately called her that, wanting to feel the nostalgic sensation when we're not knowing each other's names. She blushed. "A tour like this should be done in summer, the views will look more beautiful." "I think you would really make a good tour guide, Ame
Amelie's POV. In the evening with the sky already dark. I was silent when I saw Matilda fall after being hit by a snowball. A few moments later I realized and had to help her. I reached out to her, trying to provide assistance. "Matilda, are you okay?" I asked. There was no response from Matilda. She even tried to get up from her fall without the help of me or Alpha Rexton. I tried to keep helping her, holding her arm, cleaning her clothes, but Matilda rejected all of this with rude movements. Of course she was angry, especially when she saw me together with Alpha Rexton and she was hit by a big snowball made by Jack. I feel very bad, she will probably be angry with us for a few days. "I won't forgive you guys!" said Matilda who then went into the house and slammed the door. "This is your fault," said Alpha Rexton later. I turned to look at him who turned out to be looking at Jack. Also looking in the same direction, Jack stood with his hands raised like a criminal caught by
Amelie's POV. Jackson covered his mouth with both hands, his movements made me suspicious if it was Alpha Rexton who had told him. He shook his head quickly. "He didn't say anything, Amelie. I knew it myself." "You're lying!" "S--so it's true that you're mate with him?" I frowned. I regret what I did earlier. I shouldn't have been surprised that Jackson knew that. I could have been calm and said that what Jackson said was wrong. However, who wouldn't be surprised if a secret was known by someone else? There was nothing else I could do but nod, I couldn't say if what he knew was wrong. It's my fault for not being able to control myself and my facial expressions. "Oh my, Amelie. I can't imagine how complicated this relationship is." I sighed. "That is, even though I told Alpha Rexton to just reject me, but he didn't want that to happen. On the other hand, he also didn't want to end his relationship with Matilda." "It was very difficult, I'm sure." Jackson rubbed his chin, he
Amelie's POV. I met Jackson at the bus stop. He was walking while carrying a bag containing who knows what. While walking towards the house, I chatted with Jack. Several times I noticed him kicking small pebbles while walking. When I asked how he knew that Alpha Rexton and I were mates, he stopped in his tracks for a moment. A pair of eyes looked at me intently. "We need a quiet place to talk about this, Amelie. How about we go to the tree house?" I looked around, there were indeed many people walking around here. "Okay, let's go there." Along the way to the tree house, Jackson and I no longer spoke to each other. Jack stepped behind me, remaining silent. The tree house was visible even though it was still about a hundred meters away. I went upstairs first and was followed by Jackson. The surface was covered in snow, I cleared the not so thick snow. The air up here is very cold, I shiver even though my body is wrapped tightly in a coat. "It's better here," said Jackson, invi
Amelie's POV. Hearing the good news, I immediately ran to the hotel and woke my friend up. I can't wait to see Griffin again soon, I hope he can be rescued easily and is in good condition. "Hailey ... Hailey, wake up. We have to go to the castle now. Alpha Rexton is going to attack where Gloria is tonight. He said we have to wait for his arrival at the castle." "Attack? Tonight? Are you serious, Amelie? You're not dreaming, are you?" I shook my head quickly. "No, I just met Alpha Rexton earlier. Get up, I'll call Andrew and Ben." "Where--where did you meet Alpha Rexton earlier, Amelie?" Hailey still doesn't seem to believe it. Meanwhile I left the hotel room and went to the next room to call Andrew and Ben. I didn't have time to answer his question. My two feet walked quickly. I don't know how many times I pressed the bell until Ben finally opened the door with his pillow face. Just like Hailey, he also looked like he didn't believe it, but I still convinced him. Now the four
Griffin's POV. I don't know how long I've been in this basement. About an hour ago Gloria delivered food which only consisted of one biscuit and a glass of water. I still felt hungry if I only ate that, but Gloria didn't give me any more, she actually threatened me by not giving me any more to eat if I asked for more. This left me with no other choice but to nod and endure my hunger. Besides, this was also my fault for not obeying what she said. My eyes looked forward, to the basement walls which were not neat and were still in the form of dirt. It looks like this basement has never been repaired and continues to be like this or this is a newly built basement, I don't know. Tired of sitting, I lay down. I could only curl up and cry, missing my mother who never came to save me. The sound of the door lock opening again was heard, I saw Gloria descending the stairs while covering her nose. The basement is really dirty and smelly, it's because of my poop. My chained feet meant I could
Rexton's POV. I really didn't expect that Matilda and Levin were mates. Realizing this, it was as if Matilda was pushing me backwards and further away from her. Matilda was still standing in the same place. She looked at me intently. What she said just now was not wrong. I still often think about Amelie and even regret rejecting her. Can Matilda see my attitude clearly? I never realized it. "Yeah, Levin and I are mates." Matilda said after a moment, reassuring me. "S--since when did you know?" "Since the first time I met him after not seeing each other for several years." Matilda answered without hesitation. "I met him at the bus stop when I was going to work." "Why ... why didn't you tell me, Matilda?" Matilda sighed. "Didn't you also tell me that you were mates with Amelie?" Instead of answering, she just threw the question back at me. I was silent at Matilda's question. We were both wrong. If only Matilda had said that she was mate with Levin from the start, maybe I would
Rexton's POV. "Y--you got it too?!" Beta Luke nodded his head so easily. "Y--yes, Alpha Rexton." He reached into his pocket. "Look at this." I complied and received the smartphone from Beta Luke. Previously, my eyes had looked at him for a few moments before I finally looked at the smartphone. On the smartphone I found the same photo as the one I got, even the foreign number who sent it was the same. My forehead furrowed, I was curious about who was actually behind this strange number. How come the foreign phone number knows my cell phone number, Beta Luke and even Mr. Anderson? Is it possible that they didn't just send the photos to me and people related to me too? What if the photo gets spread? What if this photo gets spread? There are many questions present in my mind and they are very disturbing. "Find out about it." I said as I returned the smartphone to Beta Luke who was the owner. "We're going back to the castle now." "Okay, Alpha Rexton." The car drove slowly away from
Rexton's POV. I saw the car in which Amelie and her friends were traveling away from the castle through the window in the work room. The car just passed by until it finally passed the gate and was no longer visible in my sight. I let out a rough breath, Amelie's presence back in my life seemed to be at the right time. At least that's what I'm partnering with now. After I could no longer see the car, I sat down on my work chair. My hands started to open the laptop and re-check the documents that seemed to be needed during the meeting later. A few moments passed and I felt that everything was complete and perfect, nothing was left behind and nothing was missing in the slightest. I really appreciate Beta Luke's performance, which is always satisfying. When I was about to go to get ready, I actually heard the sound of my smartphone beeping, indicating that I had received a short message. Not as usual, this time I was curious about what notifications came into my smartphone. I sat back
Griffin's POV. I took the thin cloth that Gloria said was a blanket, folded it several times and I lay face down on the basement ground. I tried my hand to reach the water droplets so that the cloth in my hand could catch the water droplets. My lips smiled when I saw what I was doing was working. Maybe by waiting a few moments I will get water to wet my throat which is already very dry. "Please speed up the dripping. I'm very thirsty, I want to drink." I said softly while continuing to pay attention to the cloth which was almost completely wet. The cloth was on top of my hand so that it was not directly exposed to the basement soil, only the top of the basement. However, I feel this water is clean enough and I can use it for drinking. Waiting for a few more moments, the cloth in my hand was already wet. Pulling my hand back, the cloth was already very wet and there were even droplets coming from it. I smiled and without waiting long immediately directed the cloth to my mouth. So
Griffin's POV. Gloria got up from her seat and came closer to me. I tried to dodge, but I was cornered and couldn't go anywhere. This left me with no choice but to just rebel through kicks or punches even though I knew it wouldn't have a big effect. Suddenly I felt something penetrate my skin. My body suddenly went limp and my eyes darkened. Like the curtains being slowly closed at night in a room without lights, I couldn't see anything but darkness. I was conscious for a few moments before finally I didn't remember anything anymore. *** My head felt dizzy and I started to open my eyes slowly. One thing I saw when I first opened my eyes was a hanging lamp with an orange light that wasn't burning very brightly. Feeling very unfamiliar with this place, I tried to move and at this moment I found my feet tied with chains. I couldn't go anywhere, the chains gripped my legs very tightly. "Wh--where am I?" I asked quietly, monologuing with myself. "It's like I'm in the basement." My e
Griffin's POV. "Aren't you hungry, Griffin?" Hailey asked while eating snacks. I shook my head. "No, but I feel like drinking milk. Can you make it for me? I can't make it myself because mommy put powdered milk on the top shelf." "Oh, why is that?" "In the past, I often ate powdered milk in secret while it was still on the table, so the milk ran out quickly and my mother scolded me. She said I shouldn't eat powdered milk directly, powdered milk should be brewed with boiling water and drunk." I explained long. With that explanation, Hailey actually chuckled. "Okay, okay, I'll make milk for you, Griffin." She said, then got up from the sofa. I didn't say a word in response to her sentence, I just nodded my head. My throat feels thirsty, that's why I'm uncomfortable talking. Even though I usually always make noise when I'm playing, now I'm always silent. I wanted to drink something sweet and that was milk, it felt like drinking milk this morning wasn't enough for me. Mom is worki
Amelie's POV. Escorted by Beta Luke, we all went to the hotel in question. There are two rooms prepared by Alpha Rexton and each room has twin beds. I went into the room with Hailey while Andrew was with Ben. Maybe I will need Hailey with me longer, that's why I don't want her to be with Ben even though that could happen. Entering the room, I immediately sat on the side of the bed. My eyes looked towards the window which showed a view of the city. It's been five years since I left this city and went to a bigger city not too close. I did everything to be able to forget Alpha Rexton and Matilda easily even though in reality there I met Delvia and Hailey who were the same people I met before going to the big city. I sighed. My thoughts are still on Griffin. From the voice I heard earlier he didn't seem to be in a bad condition. He was even able to speak while the sorcerer was conversing with me. Griffin was very brave to do that, but I felt scared. I hope that the sorcerer doesn't ge
