Even saying that the speeding horse-drawn carriage made my panic even worse. All I could do at the moment was hug my son tightly while continuing to say a prayer in my heart.'God, please don't separate my son from me. He still needs me!’ I rapped endlessly.“David, where are we going?” I asked the Alpha sitting next to me, whose eyes were busy checking the situation.“To my house,” he replied shortly.“To your house?” I asked, not understanding. “Where? Is it far away?”“Sure. It looks like we'll have to take the rat road. If we go through the city, I'm afraid the citizens will see us and that will favor Hilbert. Are you okay with us going through the forest?” he asked seriously.I could only agree to whatever David did, even though my head couldn't think of anything else to suggest right now.Fear had enveloped me, to the point of wanting to vomit. I didn't want to think about this, it was just that the worst-case scenario kept entering my head, and it was overwhelming!“David,” I c
“Tsk. What a hassle.” David looked angry with my decision. How stupid of me, to have lost his trust and let him down.The rest of our journey continued not so pleasantly. In the center seat of the carriage, only my baby and I were silent. David, however, decided to move and sit in the front seat, with his subordinate at the wheel.The reason was that he wanted to be more vigilant on this last leg of our journey. Even though I knew he wanted to avoid me.Our fight was my fault, and it made me feel even more lonely. I could only hold my baby who was sleeping peacefully. His breathing could be heard purring in my arms, which for some reason made me jealous.'If only I was as innocent as the baby, maybe I wouldn't have to feel this much pressure and guilt.'______[A few days later][Private residence, David's house][6:00 AM]It was a beam of light that pierced my vision, overriding the alarms in my brain that I set to warn of danger.“Ugh.” My voice sounded hoarse and tired, despite hav
[Hilbert's POV][One day before Lizzbeth left with David]___________“What? What are you saying, Mom? There's no way Lizzbeth intends to run away from me!”I still couldn't believe that my mouth dared to yell at the woman who had raised me so well. More than that, I was even more incredulous because my mother was accusing my mate of bad things.But that old face didn't seem to be playing with her mind. Both her hands clasped me together in a cold sweat. The anger in me was distracted feeling the tremor in her body that was so alarming.I couldn't help but glance at the baby room in front of me. Where Lizzbeth and our baby were. If I couldn't convince myself, then I just needed to make Lizzbeth clarify everything.“Wait, my son! Don't!” My mother's hand prevented me as I was about to open the door to the baby's room.“You can't go there, my son. Lizzbeth doesn't know anything about this yet,” she said with great fear. “If you want to prevent her from running away, we have to do it qui
'Damn it. I knew it. David is involved in all this!' I can't believe I ever trusted him or even defended him.’No wonder Lizzbeth was nowhere to be found. Because, down there, David was helping her escape from this hospital!“Damn it!” I growled. “David is insolent. How dare he mess with me!”This is war. Do I just attack him now? Ah, no. I forgot. He and my mother have already gained control of the Alpha Katthias pack. If I attack her, it's the same as making the pack members think I've betrayed my own decision.If I could still reach the floor height of this hospital, I would have jumped down and chased after them long ago. Forced, I made my head go cold and moved to find my servant.“Hilbert, what's wrong?” My mother greeted me after seeing my angry face. “What's going on? Where's Lizzbeth?”“Mother. Forget about Lizzbeth. We're going after David now,” I growled, not stopping my fast pace. “He's the one who helped Lizzbeth escape. If we go after him now, we can get Lizzbeth back.”
[Hilbert's POV finishes here][Back to Lizzbeth's POV]Knock! Knock! Knock!“Lizzbeth. Are you asleep already?”It was the second time I heard someone shaking the door of this room, even though I hadn't locked it at all. The culprit was the owner of the house. A few hours after finishing dinner, David visited my room.Knock! Knock! Knock!The door of my room was knocked again for the third time. The knocking sound, which came from a hesitant hand, did not wake me up. It was because I had been unable to sleep.I just wished I could close my eyes while breastfeeding my baby. Although in the end, only bad thoughts lurked.Creak!Without answering him, I answered the knocking and calling by opening the door for him. Behind him, the house had lost all its lights. Not wanting to make his servants suspicious, David came into my room armed with an oil lamp.“What's going on?” I asked. Judging by the persistence with which he came to see me, it seemed he had something important to talk about.
[The Morning][David’s Mansion]Boom! Clang! Clang!I blinked my eyes when I heard the noise outside the mansion, I don't know what was going on out there, or I don't know what David was doing with his servant to make such a disturbing noise first in the morning like today.Moreover, my baby is still quite feverish, he needs a good rest to recover soon. “Why is it so noisy, what's going on?” Slowly, I stepped closer to the window of the mansion room I was staying in, intending to find the answer to my question.I quickly pulled back the window curtain that was the barrier between my current position and the outside, impatience making my hands move quickly to do so.My eyes did not stop staring outside without blinking, impatient to know what was happening out there at this early hour.Ah, it wasn't that early because the sun had already started shining and the sky was already quite bright.But what a surprise it was when I managed to open the curtains and found David's army trying to
“Lizzbeth!” From a distance, I could hear a fairly loud shouting voice back there.After turning around, I could see the figure of Hilbert who had just called out to me.The alpha seemed to be trying to break free from the confines of Hilbert's soldiers who were attacking him, David moved nimbly here and there to avoid attack after attack by Hillbert's soldiers.I could also see how the long swords were swung here and there to hit David's body, but it turned out that David was so good at dodging attack after attack made by the soldiers that he was completely unharmed.“It turns out David is quite good at martial arts, he can move that nimbly to avoid attack after attack by Hillbert's soldiers trying to hurt him!”“Shit, what was I thinking?! As an Alpha and leader, David should have such great abilities so that he can protect his other men!” I said to myself.I couldn't say a word as I watched what David was doing back there, hoping that the fight wouldn't make the other soldiers co
The horse-drawn carriage you were riding on continued to leave David's mansion which was starting to become invisible to the eye, I was quite relieved afterward because I thought we had managed to escape Hillbert's pursuit.But who would have thought, it turns out that Hillbert was already chasing the horse-drawn carriage you were riding behind there.“Hey, please hurry up and run the carriage faster! Hilbert is already behind us!” I screamed. I was panicking at this point, unable to think why Hillbert could have chased me and Hillbert so far. Even the carriage he was riding was going faster than the carriage I was riding with David, I could tell, Hilbert seemed so eager to catch us at the moment.“I can't do this carriage any faster, just calm down,” He said that, but the one who need to calm down is him. “Lets think about your baby’s condition first. if I do this carriage any faster than this, the wind that is too hard on his body is not very good! Especially now that Crystal is s
What I didn't expect was Hilbert's willingness to grant his childhood friend's wish.After arguing with David, it was my turn to argue with Hilbert.From his point of view, Hilbert understood David's wish, which was already on the edge. Managing a Pack that was on the verge of extinction because of his father's negligence was enough to make someone go crazy.I, however, am still stubborn not to let David go. too many things have happened until I feel that I need a lot of time to thank David.Perhaps in Hilbert's own heart, he also understood it. Once David leaves for the Katthias pack, it will be difficult for him to find time to visit us again.The relationship between the Katthias and Aquamarine packs was not as smooth as it was made out to be. And while David and Amelia are the two pillars that hold us together, the thousands of Katthias Pack members don't all think so.David still has a long way to go to unite our two packs. In other words, until David succeeded in his mission, he
"What?" To my surprise, my baby's shrill cry because he was disturbed by our conversation, was not caught in my focus. "You're kidding, aren't you?"I really couldn't believe what I was hearing at the moment, but David didn't seem to be joking either.''Of course, I'm not joking here. I want to go back to the Katthias pack, back to where I should belong.'' David said with serious face.''But ... The distance from Katthias pack to this palace is so far. If you do this, you might as well never come back here again. Don't you know how busy that pack is? Even Hilbert, he wasn't strong enough to stay there.”David was silent. But, that doesn't mean he ignored my words. “I've decided everything well. I've also thought it through, there's no way I can continue to be here while I'm not from here.''''That would be tantamount to me being a guest in this place for a long time, so wouldn't it be better now that I return to my duty? And from now on, my real home is the Katthias pack, not here.''
“Ngggg~”''Ah, looks like I need to go back inside the room first. I think I heard the sound of Crystal's baby crying in there.''Without waiting for an answer from Hilbert, I immediately got up from my seat and then immediately moved from my seat, intending to go to the baby Crystal who was inside the room along with the nanny Hilbert had paid to look after her.Only look after when I'm not around or doing something, the rest of the time I'll handle the baby myself, I wouldn't trust a nanny too much, of course, because I want to spend a lot of time making memories with my baby.''I think I've finished my breakfast as well. Then, please take my excuse too.”I don't know if it was true or not, but I felt that David was deliberately following me who had already finished my breakfast.''Why are you in such a hurry? Come on, eat some more before you go back into that room of yours.''I vaguely heard the voice of Hilbert who was trying to restrain David who was about to leave the dining ta
[A Month Later][Aquamarine Royal Palace][Royal Members' Dining Hall][8:00 AM]_______''I miss this kind of atmosphere.”My head looked up after hearing the words that came out of Hilbert's mouth, not expecting that after all the trouble and hurt that had happened so far would end up beautifully in the end.''You're right,” I said in front of him, who sat on the same table. “I also did not expect that we would end up in a position like this. I thought .... we would never made it. I thought we would continue to fight like the other days, it turns out that in the end, our relationship will get better as time goes by.''He nodded in confirmation of my words, it was true. He and I had been feuding like enemies, but afterward, we were able to get back together like a happy family.Especially with a baby who has completed our lives, if only people didn't know how full of twists and turns my life had been.'I think I should say a lot of thanks to David because he helped me to be in this p
“I hope one day you'll find out. Not seeing the person you love for two weeks is enough to make you feel like you've lost everything,” I retorted. I reflected my smile at him who stood behind me, through the bias of this large mirror.“Your Highness! The doctor says you can come in! Congratulations on your first meeting after so long!”Breaking the door of my room without permission, the good news came from the lips of a well-dressed Beta woman.How cute. Both she and I were dressed beautifully this morning. Not forgetting my baby too, Isabelle also dressed my little son in royal clothes for babies.I wanted to laugh at our enthusiasm, which was the opposite of the event we were going to. What event? This morning, we were happy because Hilbert was finally allowed to be visited.“It's been weeks of waiting, we finally get to meet your father!” Isabelle squealed with delight, cradling my baby who joined in the laughter at her bright smile.“What's he doing there?” I asked, clasping my h
My despair was cut short. Rainbows always come after heavy rain. All my worries faded instantly after I let out all my sobs in front of Alpha who was willing to be my backup.David didn't want my tears to drag on. He gave me the idea to get some fresh air after the doctor allowed me to get off the hospital bed.Accompanied by Isabelle, who helped take care of my baby, we walked through the deserted hospital to refresh my mind. Behind me, David was quietly observing. I didn't know he still wouldn't allow me to see Hilbert in his room.If my guess was right, my Alpha's condition was extremely poor. To the point that it would probably make me even more depressed and guilty in the end.But it wouldn't be me if I didn't make the people around me anxious. With just a few minutes of them being off guard from me, my trail was already lost to them.The search began. They had no idea that my feet were forcing me to find where Hilbert's room was and visit it.A clear glass border became the wall
My tears broke out. My tears fell naturally like a pond overflowing with vomit. The poison in my body slowly flowed out as my sobs escalated.Unable to bear seeing an Omega crying so pitifully, David pulled his hand away to hug me. I felt his palm gently patting my shoulder in an attempt to win me over.Meanwhile, I, shamelessly, shed even more tears on his shoulder. My tears widened to the point where I was afraid I couldn't go back.But his embrace was too warm to leave. I remembered all the good things about David that had made me forget all the bad things about him.He... Apparently fought very hard to make me forgive his mistakes....“Hilbert is in his room. His injuries were quite severe. Surprisingly, he healed very quickly. Well, no wonder. Alpha is unlikely to die from a wound like that. So you shouldn't worry.”With his hands busy peeling the apple skin, his mouth kept talking about things I didn't even ask about.It only took one worried glance from me, to make him take
“No! There's no way Master David would intentionally hurt that many people! It's because Lord Hilbert refused to cooperate with him!” Isabelle denied. Her voice suddenly rose, making me jump.She seemed so unhappy to hear me casually mention David's faults. Her calm demeanor went nowhere, replaced by her emotionally explaining various alibis to make me believe her.After her unstable emotions receded, she was finally able to look calmer. I waited until he could reveal everything. Because I'm dying of insanity waiting here.“Okay. Now, are you able to answer my questions?” I asked. “First of all, I want you to explain what the plan you mentioned means. Explain it from the beginning, and I won't forgive you if there's a single thing you're hiding.”Then the long explanation began.Every time his cold lips explained something I didn't know, my hands squeezed the hospital blanket until my nails dug in.It all started with the fight between David and Hilbert in the mansion, which I don't k
“I'm sorry, but I only came to help you.” The old man said some nonsense that I didn't understand.“Help? Do you even know who he is?” I retorted rudely. “If you're here, I'm guessing you're one of David's people. Would you help me even if you didn't know who this wounded Alpha was?”It felt like my words were too harsh for the old man who came with genuine concern for me. But, make no mistake. My suspicion was greater than my willingness to accept his help.Don't think I can't find another doctor here, other than having to involve myself with David's people. Without taking a second look, I left the old man who was still trying to convince me.My mind was too muddled to think straight right now. Let me take care of things myself.“Hey, stop it. I sent him all the way here to help you, don't kick him out just because you hate me.”Wait a minute. Am I too tired to be having hallucinations in broad daylight like this, or did I hear David's voice earlier?It came from where the old man wa
