"If you lose. You'll have to hand Lizzbeth over to me," he retorted suddenly.My temper exploded to the point where Justin had to help me control my powers. I was about to shape-shift if I didn't control myself immediately, right after David had the audacity to mention my Omega name."Go ahead if you want to die silly," I retorted, gripping the hilt of the sword I'd almost used to slash his neck."Whoa. Calm yourself, my Lord. Aren't you the one who needs to be here?" he retorted innocently. "What do you have to worry about? Just win the game. Then, everything will be yours. You're a good, professional casino player. We used to play together."I was disgusted by his words. This was my least favorite thing about meeting David Thornland, or knowing as my childhood friend.Ever since we were young, he and I always fought over the same things. Toys, food, places, pets. And to top it off, we fought over the same Omega.And that's what broke up our eternal friendship. But who would have tho
"You have a point too, Justin. If I lose the fight against David, then I just have to make sure Lizzbeth stays by my side," I said, after listening to the advice of my Wolf who woke up."Hilbert, you're too much! I can't believe you sold your Omega for a paper scroll!"I had not yet pulled my longsword from its sheath, and Lizzbeth had already approached me with her emotions. All the visitors, who had been excited, suddenly fell silent thanks to her crying-like voice.Her hand came down on me tremblingly, enough to make me fixate on my own body. And... feel guilty. Her face, which looked at me with great disappointment, colored my heart with guilt like never before."After mistaking me for Charmy, as if it wasn't enough to hurt me, you're now selling me!?" she snapped. The whispers from the ball-goers were nothing compared to the miserable shrieking in her voice.I understood how she felt. But that doesn't mean I can tell her all of this, what the scroll is really about, and why I wou
"But how? Lizzbeth already hates me. Do you think I can easily change her mind?" I asked him.'Oh, come on. Since when did you turn so positive like this? Just the dirty way you've been doing it all this time. Why do you suddenly care about other people?'"Hahaha!" Justin's words made me laugh out loud. "You're the best. That's right. If I can't snatch it away nicely, I'll just have to use a little violence.""And once I get her, I'll impregnate her right away," I continued, immediately preparing my equipment and putting it in my bag."If Lizzbeth is pregnant with my child, then no one can take her away again. I can just impregnate her, and she'll be mine."_________[Warrior's Meeting Room][10:00 PM]"Listen to me, everyone!" My voice rang out in front of my armed subordinates, whom I had gathered together this evening. Before I announce something important to them.I unfolded a sheet of a map that was extremely sacred in my colony: a map of the entire Alpha dominion kingdom in this
[Hilbert's POV finished][Back to Lizzbeth's POV][Current time][David's Mansion][A few days after his victory at the card game]...The paper that he held out to me, was still in my hand. I didn't let go even until the morning. Exactly when the horse-drawn carriage dedicated to escorting me arrived at the mansion's garden courtyard."Where's David?" I asked the servant who was helping me with my luggage. "I haven't seen him since tonight. Isn't he the one who was going to take me to this bar?"I showed the servant the paper with the address on it. Her reaction was a puzzled look, along with a head scratch. Then she mentioned that David was waiting at the bar, where I was allowed to follow him."Are you sure he's there?" I asked uncertainly. The servant nodded, and immediately put my luggage into the carriage. Without waiting for my approval."You just need to go there, Madam. We've prepared everything there," the servant said, pushing my body away as if he didn't want to hear any m
"Excuse me? But who are you?" One of them glared suspiciously at me. Naturally. Their conversation was interrupted by my sudden arrival without any news.Luckily, I covered my face with a red scarf. That way, they could only see my eyeballs. Which is lucky again, the lighting in the courtyard outside the bar is quite dim.As a result, those who could not see the color of my irises at all. For those who are perceptive of the news, my blonde hair and blue irises are iconic.There was no way they wouldn't know when they saw my hair or irises. They would instantly realize I was Lizzbeth Aquamarine, the only daughter of the leader of the Aquamarine pack who lost everything."My name is Amber," I answered casually. The name came into my head spontaneously, and I used it right away. "Just like you guys, I was also trying to get close to that Alpha. But I didn't know he was already looking for another Omega. Would you mind sharing a little news with me?"At first, they seemed hesitant and loo
"Your clothes are wet. Let me help you change." One Alpha in a white coat approached and unreservedly grabbed my hand. I jerked violently at his touch, only to have another Alpha pull my body into his arms."I said let me go!" I screeched uncomfortably."Whoa. How pretentious. You think I don't know who you are? You are Lizzbeth Aquamarine, who has sold herself to an Alpha!" Shrieked the Alpha who pulled my dress with his hand."If you've sold yourself, why be afraid of being touched by another Alpha? Just think of it as selling yourself, just like you always do!"My anger peaked this time. They dared to touch me, knowing I alone wouldn't be able to fight three Alphas with big bodies.And this was the first time I wanted to rage. My hands trembled and my whole body turned cold. The contents of my head were suddenly empty, and I slowly felt a strange sensation inside my body.The wolf inside my body that I named Elly, for the past ten years was finally taking control of me. I resisted
"Alright. How about we start now, my opponent?" David pulled my body onto his lap and picked up the four cards available on his side of the table.My current position was exactly like Omega on Hilbert's lap. We were both wearing the same fancy dress, dance masks covering our faces, and Alpha had her arms around our waists.For a few minutes, I could only sit silently on his lap as they played their card game. There was nothing wrong with the flow of the cards that fell onto the table. Even the Dealer and the other guards standing by our side all seemed normal.The game went smoothly until the first round of the game was won by Hilbert with a landslide victory."Well, well. Can't believe I lost my strategy," David said in his defeat, although his complaint sounded very contrived. "Well then, what can we do? Hilbert, what are you asking of us this time?"My head immediately turned to him. "David, what are you saying? Why are you offering him something?""Hm?" he muttered, not heeding my
I reluctantly dropped Elly's request. I closed my eyes to hide the anxiety and fear in my chest."I'm sorry, Elly. But I have to do this," I said with great reluctance.Hilbert got what he wanted. With the sexy Omega sitting on his left thigh, I sat myself on his right thigh. His left hand was busy picking up and swapping the cards on the table.His right hand, meanwhile, fell on my shoulder. Then down to my back, and waist, and stopped there. I could feel him feeling all the curves of my body. His breathing next to my face sounded very heavy.In between games, he rubbed his foot against my thigh, teasing me. No one knew about our secret game, everyone was busy with the card game in this third round. But I knew Hilbert was secretly touching me in front of David."You think after getting a new place, you can run away from me?" he whispered. He played with my hair, kissing it passionately just as he wanted to draw me into the charm of his voice."No one can run away from me when they ar
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
