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
That Omega died before my eyes. Even then, I could do nothing. After the horse-drawn carriage that the two of us had entered had left, that poor Omega's body could only linger at the corner of my eye before it finally vanished.Little did I know that this afternoon I would return to the path I had left.David's mansion, one of the most traumatic places I've ever been to, received my footprints for the umpteenth time.Our arrival was welcomed by his servants who seemed to know I would arrive. In the living room on the first floor, two doctors accompanied by their assistants were waiting for me with their best smiles."Who are they?" I asked, both surprised and uncomfortable. The last memory I had of dealing with doctors was when Hilbert knew everything."From now on, they'll be helping you until delivery," David said, introducing each of his doctors hired to look after my pregnancy."You look well, Madame. I'm sure you'll give birth to a very strong baby," said one of the doctors, Tere
"I can't. I can't lose that baby. Do everything in your power to save her!" David yelled at all the doctors in this room to heal me immediately.At the far end of the room, he stood biting his own lip. I could feel his panic. He was so afraid of losing this baby of mine.My act went on for the next few hours. The doctors were still falling for my trick until after a while, they took me to the operating room. David became an emotional Alpha like I'd never seen before.He got angry over trivial things. And refused to wait outside while the doctors examined my pregnancy. This incident made me realize one thing, he really wanted my baby.And his desire seemed unnatural. Who would have thought that my idea this time could uncover two things at once? That David made me his Mate not only because he loved me.But because there was something else he wanted.__________[David's Mansion][7:00 AM]"From now on, one doctor must take care of her every day. Take turns, for a full twenty-four hours.
"Teresa, I have a sudden pain in my belly. Could you please get me a glass of warm water and something to relieve the pain in my belly?" That Alpha Doctor face suddenly grew pale. She quickly fell for my words and left the room in search of something. My trick to get her to leave worked easily. When I made sure no one was following me, I dragged my feet out of my room and looked for a way out. 'What are you doing?' Elly, who was asleep, suddenly woke up to my spontaneous action that she thought was absurd. As usual, she scolded me even though she didn't know what I was planning to do now. 'If you want to run away, think about the possibility that you will be arrested again by David. Remember, I'm not your servant that you can use as a shield all the time,' she said with great disapproval. "I'll explain later when I find the exit of this mansion. In the meantime, do me a favor," I said matter-of-factly. With her strength, Elly gave me a little power to run faster. At this hour, Da
"Get out of here while I distract him!" he said again, ignoring my confusion that was still hanging high.Jackson then ran into the mansion through the exit door. His strength was so great that he kicked a pair of doorframes to pieces.In his hand, a long sword was thrust forward. His eyes looked angrily at David. I didn't know Alpha, who was so weak in front of his wife, could have a face as fierce as a tiger. It showed that he came very prepared."I thought by killing your life expectancy, you would come to your senses. But I see killing one person is not enough, huh," David said, smiling down at the seriousness with which Jackson faced him.Teresa, who had been in his arms, was pushed roughly just to face Jackson."What crazy thing makes you think you can win a fight against me?" he continued, sarcastically. In contrast to Jackson, David was only armed with a thin split blade in his right hand.But with full awareness, I could read the flow of this fight where David would win. Jack
"Capture that Omega! We're ordered to take him alive or dead!"Being escorted by a dozen servants at once did not necessarily make my escape journey go smoothly without a hitch. And it wasn't that I was surprised to find David's subordinate soldiers chasing us with sharp weapons.If that psychopathic Alpha had let me go without a fight, it would have surprised me more."Dozens of soldiers are chasing us, can we fight them?"I heard from inside here, the servants were discussing how to deal with the soldiers who were soon to match our pace."Of course not," said a Beta sitting beside me, serving as my bodyguard. "They're experienced soldiers in combat, even war. Even if we're equipped with weapons, to them we're just babies fighting back.""What should we do, then? Making sure Princess Lizzbeth gets to the harbor is a task that Master Jackson has entrusted to us," said a driver who was driving this horse-drawn carriage."I have a plan," replied the Beta. "I have an idea to disrupt thei
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
