Amelie's POV. "I don't know when exactly, what is clear is probably in the near future." Jackson was silent, he didn't say anything. Meanwhile I continued walking, but didn't hear Jackson's footsteps. Looking back, I saw the man there. He seemed to be standing still with his eyes looking at me. His two hands which were not wearing gloves were put in his coat pocket so they wouldn't get too cold. He was completely standing and still, there was no movement at all except for his two eyes which I saw blink several times. "What's wrong with you, Jack? Why did you stop?" I moved closer to him again. "I'll definitely be very lonely if you leave here." Jackson sighed. "Why do you have to go, Amelie?" "It's time for me to go, Jack." I smiled, as if this departure was indeed what I wanted. "Why do you have to leave? Why don't you just stay here?" "I'm not mama's girl, I'm just someone else who happened to have a baby put in front of their house. I don't want to bother them any longer,
Rexton's POV. I don't think I want to get to Matilda's house soon. I still want to spend time with her. While still driving the car, I saw someone walking in the dark of night. I looked at her for a while out of curiosity. She was the only person still walking outside the house. Most other people were already in their homes amd resting. My car stopped right in front of Matilda's house. I didn't go down because it was already evening. Matilda straightened her clothes before getting out of my car. "Be careful, Babe." She said, then kissed my lips. "Of course." I nodded. "Are you feeling happy today?" "I'm very happy. Thank you, Alpha Rexton." My heart felt so happy when I saw the smile on her face. "No need to thank me, I also feel happy today." "Are you sure yo don't you want to come down and stop by for a moment?" I shook my head. "I don't think it's necessary. It's getting late anyway, I'll go straight home." "Okay, be careful." "Thank you, Matilda. See you next time." "
Rexton's POV. Annette stopped her knitting movements, a second later her eyes looked at me. Her eyes stared at me for a few seconds. "Are you unsure about your choice?" Instead of answering, Annette asked me back. I nodded my head because that's how I felt. "Actually, I still feel confused." "If so, why did you make your choice, Rexton?" "I don't understand either, Mum." I sighed. "At first I was sure of my choice, but after meeting Amelie, I felt doubtful again." "Don't play with wolfwomen's feelings, Rexton." I nodded. "I don't want to be like this either, Mom." "This choice is indeed difficult because you really have to determine who is the best between Matilda and Amelie, those who will be by your side forever." "That's what makes me doubt, on the other hand I also don't want to hurt either of them." I heard Annette sigh. "But everything has already happened, you have already given Matilda high hopes." "You're right." My head nodded, agreeing with her sentence. "What d
Rexton's POV. Today is a holiday, but there isn't much I can do today because it's snowing outside. I chose to train my body in the private gym in the castle. I've been in here for about an hour doing a lot of things, my body is sweaty and I'm exhausted. I took a bottle of drinking water in the corner of the room and drank it. My eyes looked at the reflection of my body in the large mirror in front of me, seeing how my body looked in the reflection of the mirror. Glancing at the wall clock, it was four in the afternoon. "That's enough, I want to take a warm bath after this." I said, then got up and left the private gym. My two feet walked through the halls in the castle with red carpets covering the floor. Not wanting to take the elevator, I decided to use the stairs. Arriving in the room, I immediately went into the bathroom and filled the water in the bathtub until it was almost full. I also mixed soap with a calming coffee aroma. Coming out of the bathroom, I saw that it wa
Rexton's POV. I frowned receiving a mindlink from Lennon. Without waiting long, I rushed out of my work room and walked towards where he was. He couldn't have been in any room other than the painting room. Painting is his hobby and there are many works created by his hands. Knocking on the door of the room, I didn't hear any answer from inside. My hand pulled the door half open. "What did you call me for, Dad?" I asked, stepping into the room. "Sit down."I closed the door to the room which was still half open. My two feet walked closer to where the man was. Lennon still hasn't looked at me. His hands were busy brushing the brush across the surface of the canvas and his eyes were not the least bit diverted from there. Even when I got near him, he still didn't stop what he was doing. Lennon was still busy with his imagination. "Do you remember Delvia?" I was silent for a few moments, then nodded my head. "Is the Delvia you mean my childhood friend?" "Correctly?" Lennon nodde
Matilda's POV. "But you are also a descendant of wolf warriors, your status is not low, Matilda. We are still together without a big wall blocking it like you said." I sighed. "Yeah, but my father is dead." "Whether you're dead or not doesn't affect your status, Matilda. Don't worry. Even if you were an omega, I would still love you." Hearing Alpha Rexton's words, I was silent for a moment. "Why?" I asked. "Just keep it short, because I love you." "But if I were an omega, your problems would be even bigger, Alpha Rexton." "That's why I'm grateful you're not an omega, even if you were an omega, I would still fight for my love for you." My lips smiled when I heard Alpha Rexton's words, the serious expression on his face made me believe that he would actually do that. "Thanks, Babe." The sentence just slipped out of my mouth. Alpha Rexton glanced at me for a moment. "No need to thank me, that's how we should be, right? Fighting for love that makes us happy." "You're right." I
Matilda's POV. Someone came and approached me. He was wearing a long, shabby white shirt and an army green tote bag hanging over one shoulder. Turning towards him, I saw him smiling so disgustingly. Without waiting long, I immediately looked away. "This is none of your business!" I said firmly without looking at him. I heard him chuckle. "It's none of my business, but what's wrong with caring about others?" "I don't need your concern!" "Um ... well, it seems you and Amelie are very--" "We are definitely different." I said, cutting him off. "She and I are different individuals, of course our attitudes are different, especially since she and I were not born from the same mother." "Aw, it's easier to talk to Amelie than you." "Then there's no need to talk to me, it's a simple matter." "You're right, it seems like my good intentions were useless with you." I was silent and didn't respond to Jack's words. For a while I waited for someone to appear at this bus stop, but there wa
Matilda's POV. I don't understand what Levin is saying. Moreover, his facial expression also looked very serious. My mind tried to remember what mistakes I had done. This made me remember the time when Alpha Rexton invited me to come to the castle and meet his parents. At that time, Levin was at my house for whatever reason, but of course I had hurt his heart and the wolf in him because he saw me with another wolfman. I was silent for a few moments unable to speak. This is indeed my fault, if later he also goes with another wolfwoman, then I also have to accept it. I can't be selfish. "Okay, then see you tonight." Returning to the kitchen, I thought about Levin's words earlier. Would he be that cruel to me? I took a deep breath, then went back to continuing my work. Several times delivering food and drinks, I no longer saw Levin at his table. He was gone, without even speaking to me first. Today it feels like I've been hit by never-ending bad luck. I was crying early in the mo
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
