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 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
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
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
Amelie's POV "Eh, are those two your lovers?" I accidentally saw two photos of different men on Matilda's smartphone -- my adopted sister. Both photos were taken in almost the same pose, Matilda was standing with the man on her left, they were smiling and looking very happy. "Put down my smartphone, Amelie. You've invaded other people's privacy!" "I envy you, you can get one or two men with just the blink of an eye. Sigh, won't you share one of these two men with me?" "Amelie, didn't you hear what I said earlier?!" Amelie Chyntia is the name my adoptive family gave me, I never knew my real name and family. Mother said, in the winter of twenty one years ago, there was a knock on the door of this house and I was already in a baby basket complete with clothes and a torn piece of paper. Even though I wasn't born into this family, I still consider them family, especially my mother who has taken care of me until I grow up. "Don't open my smartphone without permission, Amelie, everyo
Amelie's POV. My body is now on a king size carved bed with a soft and plush surface. Meanwhile in front of my face, a very attractive broad chest always managed to hypnotize my mind. He moved intensely, creating pleasure down there, making his mind wander even more. I can't pretend anymore in front of him. As I said before, he is sexy and hot. "Don't stop this." Without realizing it, my mouth said that. I can't think anymore, all I want now is that this time doesn't pass quickly. His body was full of sweat, and so was I. We were breathing hard, but neither he nor I wanted to stop. This feeling is too dear to stop. Before everything blows over, I want to enjoy every second of it. "You are beautiful, sexy and hot. What is your name?" "Wouldn't it be better if we didn't know each other's names." "Why?" He gasped. "Wouldn't it be better to know?" I shook my head. "Better not." It's true what Gwendolyn said, this feels strange, like it's not real but it's happening clearly insid
Rexton's POV. Tomorrow my girlfriend will take me to meet her family, of course I feel very happy because finally I can taste the sweetness of love. Moreover, my girlfriend, Matilda, is very beautiful, kind and most importantly intelligent because I really need her to help me with everything. I, who was sitting on one of the sofas in the bar, was stunned when I saw a woman from a group of three other women. Her dress was soft pink, as were the heels she was wearing. It looks like they are playing a game. The woman stood up, then walked towards me. The closer she got, I smelled vanilla with a strong combination of wood. She drew closer to me and the fragrance became clearer. "Mate!" "H--hi." She said, I could feel that she was very awkward. Maybe she is not used to approaching men. "Can I sit here." I smiled, it seemed like she didn't realize that we were mates. "Sure." I said, then shifted a little so that there was a place for her to sit comfortably. "Thank you." She said, th
Rexton's POV. Waking up in bed with black sheets, I felt like I didn't sleep well last night. I took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily. After cleaning myself I went down to the dining room. On the table there was some food and also a glass filled with milk. Not only that, my father and mother were also there. "Good morning, Dad and Mum." I said, smiling. "Good morning, my son. Have you not had enough sleep these past few days?" asked Annette -- my mother. I smiled in response to her question. "It's obvious that you're not getting enough sleep, look at those puffy bags under your eyes." Lennon said -- my father added. "Didn't I give you eye cream to keep your face looking handsome and fresh?" Annette said. "I've been forgetting to wear them lately, Mum." "Tonight and so on, don't forget again, Rexton." I nodded my head. "Oh, how is your relationship with Matilda?" asked Lennon. "That's fine." I said. "We already have plans to get married next month." "That's good, I'm a

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
