A horde of royal soldiers entered the village just as Elly was trying to calm me down. As if the universe wouldn't allow us to breathe a sigh of relief, I saw that amid the running soldiers, Hilbert came riding in on his horse.As if things couldn't get any worse, my nose picked up the scent of Alpha pheromones, David's, which had been carried away by the wind."Elly. It looks like we can't stay here for long," I muttered to her, to my Wolf who was silent about how horrible this situation was. "Forget about our suspicions of Roger or his mother, or saying goodbye to them. For now, hiding is the best option."'I agree.' Elly replied.'Don't forget to take off your clothes now, Lizzbeth. Did you see them bring another animal? Dogs? It's all to track your body scent. Take off your clothes and throw them as far away as possible. It can help you run away from them.' She said again.With Elly's advice, I ran into the forest half-naked. My clothes, which had been mixed with the scent of vari
"My dear, get into this carriage. I still have a thing or two to do before we leave."I glanced back, realizing Jackson wasn't riding with me into the carriage that had arrived."Where are you going, honey?" I asked, feeling a little anxious. He didn't answer. Instead, my question is answered by a noise coming from the opposite direction of us."Raise your hands! King Hilbert has come!"My heart seemed to stop beating when that name was announced. Jackson had known for a long time that someone would come to get us. Is that why he asked me to leave first? Because he knew Hilbert was coming?"You, move aside. We're looking for an Omega. Let us search your carriage."From inside, I could hear Jackson chirping angrily with the soldiers who had come looking for me."I can't, my wife is sick. And I don't see anyone else here. Can you leave now?" Jackson replied angrily, I could hear the emotion in his voice."These are the King's orders, Fir. Do you dare defy the will of your own King?" the
My decision was the right one. My exit from the carriage was enough to make the other soldiers turn their attention to me.Jackson immediately hugged my body tightly and hid my face in his chest. I was still wearing a thin cloth face covering, so no one could see my true face if no one removed the covering."Look, my wife is sick. Her body is full of wounds, and she's carrying our first baby. Please, let us go. I need to get her to a doctor right now." Jackson begged the soldiers who were still surrounding him."Show us your wife's face, and then we'll let you go," one of them replied.And hearing that, I was shocked beyond belief. This was not what I had planned! Instantly, my body, which had been standing straight and confident, suddenly shook with fear. The soldier still insisted on seeing my face.And if Jackson agrees, then my life is over here!"I can't," Jackson replied in an angry tone. "What right do you have to enjoy my wife's beauty? My wife's face is mine alone. No one can
'You think I stood by and let you almost get captured by Hilbert, for no reason? Fool. This is why I really hate being inside your body and being confined here. You really are a useless Omega.'What the hell? Why is Elly so mad at me?I know our relationship has never been good since I awakened her power inside my body. This one, however, still pissed me off."Can't Hilbert detect my identity just by looking at my back?" I asked, guessing to be more precise.And my suggestion only made Elly laugh even wider.'You fool! Did you forget about the many burns and bruises all over your body? Do you think he can figure out your identity by looking at your scarred back? No wonder she left with a disgruntled face.' She replied angry to me.And I didn't expect it at all!"Oh my God. So he left because of my wounds? He couldn't detect me because of the wounds all over my body?" I muttered, incredulous. This was so crazy!Who could have thought that this wound, which I thought was embarrassing, w
'How long do you want to sleep like a fool? It's bad luck that I have to be trapped inside a stupid Omega body like you. You have no idea how panicked I was when I found you sleeping, while Jackson could have uncovered your face at any time.'Elly's babbling voice boomed in my ears, so loud, though it was still unable to wake me who was too tired to even open my eyes.| 'Knock. Knock. Knock. |"Madam. Breakfast has been ready since earlier. Mr. Jackson wants you to finish it quickly before it turns cold."My eyes snapped open at the sound of a knock on the door mixed with the waiter calling me from outside."Oh my. What's going on? Where am I now?" I said confusedly, the residual sleepiness still attacking my eyes, making me look like a dazed person now. Unsure of my surroundings."Madam? Is there a problem inside?" the maid knocked on the door of this room again, along with my fully recovered consciousness."No, no. I'm fine. Wait for me in the dining room," I said quietly but firmly
Ten minutes of sitting quietly at this huge dining table by myself, consuming and tasting almost all the delicious dishes here.And the tense moments ensued. I waited for the moment when I felt sick to my stomach, or my vision blurred, or my head hurt. Or whatever the symptoms were that indicated I had food poisoning.But, what a surprise. I didn't feel anything. The feeling of fullness and bloating in my stomach is common, after devouring so many dishes like a glutton.It's not like this food is poisonous. And Jackson may be away at work. Likewise, the waiters are busy with their duties. I seem to be the only one overthinking here."Elly," I called out to my Wolf, who had been silent. With my body strengthening, she also became calmer emotionally. I could feel that she was able to think clearly and help me accurately from now on."What if we stay in this place for a longer time?" I said, uttering what had been bothering my mind.'And here I thought you were ready to be homeless,' she
He didn't answer. And the way he looked at me silently but drew a smile, provoked my emotions to slap his innocent face.There was something strange about his behavior, he seemed so relaxed. But this time his eyes shifted away from me and rolled to the space beside him.His gaze was directed seriously at that place, and I couldn't help but follow the direction of his gaze.'What did he see? Is someone watching us talk?' I thought then. I didn't see anyone there, but I couldn't ignore his serious face."You're ignoring me," I said, knowing it was just his stupid trick to distract me. "Where is your promise to answer any of my questions?"He didn't answer again. When the smile was still on his face, his eyes returned to me. However, this time I couldn't look back at that handsome face that I hated so much.Because someone came from an unexpected direction holding an Omega. That figure was Jackson, the Alpha I had been looking for!"J-Jackson?" My mouth dropped open, my voice out of plac
"If it's up to me, then I want to leave this place. I want to leave all of you and start a new life. And you two must promise not to come near me. Forever.""Then you're just going to leave your pack?" he retorted rhetorically. "Has living with Hilbert raised your ego level to a significant degree? I thought you still cared about your family, your pack that you loved so much."My forehead furrowed in annoyance at his reply. What does he know about me? He has no idea what I've gone through to get to this day. Countless times I've died near death from starvation.And other people too. For all he knows, I'm tired of hurting the people around me. Wherever I was, David and Hilbert would come after me.And I started thinking. Perhaps leaving my pack in Hilbert's hands was the best course. There was no guarantee that my subordinates would live a quiet and comfortable life even if I managed to let them go.As long as Hilbert was around, he would be after me and torturing me. And I can't let t
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
