If I insisted on bringing her back then, perhaps our relationship would fall apart like a sponge. Ultimately, I let her keep running and pretended to be the helpless chaser.I chose to trust her; I left her by Evelyn's side and hoped she would be OK to make it through the first stage of the ordeal. But by the time the clock was close to the allotted time without seeing Erza, I had lost control. If she had been out a second later, I'm afraid I would have rushed in and broken the door to get inside. However, to everyone's astonishment, she proved my anxiety was excessive and successfully walked out. When she returned from that door of death, I didn't know how to describe my feelings.Happiness mixed with a bit of pride.And as the second round was about to begin, I struggled with myself about whether to stop her before it was too late. I took a step out and prepared to end her venture. But when I look into her happy eyes, I think my choice is correct. As a result, I still complied with
In the days that followed, my life returned to normal, somewhat calmer. Every day I visit Evelyn and my friends at the hospital, then return home. Although Ryan is very busy, he always spends a certain amount of time with me. If I'm not mistaken, we have implicitly defined a relationship. We have become more comfortable with our manners and easily express our feelings.As usual, I was returning from the hospital in the afternoon when I found Alfine sitting on a wooden bench in the park. I hadn't seen him for a while; before that, I heard that he had to often go back and forth between Black Moon and Red River to take care of his work, rarely saw him leisurely sitting and relaxing."Alfine," I called out softly and walked over to him.Alfine looked up at me with tired eyes, haggard as if he hadn't slept for days.It seemed Alfine wasn't surprised to see me either, he asked slowly with a hoarse voice. “Having been good lately?”"Still good." I smile, and then I remember what Ryan said la
“Ah…” I stammered."If you have something to say, just say it," Ryan said.“About Brian…” I didn't know how to start.Ryan was relatively calm. "He won't die because he must live to atone.""So what's his punishment?" I looked up at Ryan; in this position, I could only see his newly grown beard; I couldn't help but touch it with my hand.A special feeling, like an invisible connection, brought us closer. I'm the only woman who dares to do it with an illustrious Alpha.Ryan took my hand. “Don't play around. He will be imprisoned forever in the darkest dungeon in the South; he will be alone for the rest of his life.”I was silent, this punishment is not good if said good, but if it is terrible, it is not.“About what he said….” I pursed my lips. “The fact that Alpha Titus killed his family, is it true?”Then there was Ryan's silence; I knew I shouldn't have asked the question, so I spoke up. "Sorry, you don't have to answer me."When I thought he would be forever silent, his voice rang
I did not visit Evelyn that day nor see my 'family' off. I wandered like a fool and came to the riverside without realizing it. I just remembered that I needed to change my slippers; now that I have left the house, I still wear thin slippers. When I stepped on the sharp rocks on the stream bank, it hurt even more than when I walked barefoot. With that in mind, I threw off my slippers and dipped my feet into the cool water.At least that way, I can forget about some sad things.I used to dream I could walk alongside Ryan, but Lucy's words this morning woke me from that dream.What do I deserve to be with him?Nothing...'Stupid! As long as he loves us, that's enough! Do you need to care what other people say?' It's been a while since she took the initiative to talk to me.Recently she has been no longer controlling or harmful to me; on the contrary, I feel she is about to become my good friend. At least at these times, she was alone beside me.'If only love were enough, wouldn't everyt
I fell silent, and our conversation ended.I couldn't sleep that night, and Ryan didn't come back either. It was only early in the morning, around four o'clock, that I first saw Ryan drinking. His breath was filled with the pungent smell of alcohol, and although he was no longer awake, he always acted gently when he approached me, perhaps because he was afraid that he would disturb my sleep while I was always awake.Ryan slowly took off his coat; I immediately closed my eyes when he saw me approaching.One side of the bed sank, and I knew Ryan was lying beside me; he was lying flat and staring at the ceiling.After a while, Ryan gently turned around and hugged me. My act of pretending to be asleep seems stupid to him, but whether it's the alcohol or his mood swings, Ryan doesn't seem to notice that I'm just pretending.Because I lay motionless in one position, maybe because of the familiar warmth he brought, I fell asleep right after that.When I woke again, it was already past nine o
I kept quiet, I understood that what Evelyn was saying was true, but I lacked the courage.How can I ask him directly? So what will the answer I get?“Are you going to hide forever? Wait until Alpha marries another girl, then you are the one who suffers the most. What will you do then? You're going to cry like an idiot and pack your clothes and leave, right?" Evelyn got angry when I kept procrastinating. “You should know one thing, if you get kicked out of Black Moon, even Red River will refuse to accept you. Then you are nothing more than a wanderer.”“Evelyn, I understand, but….” I lowered my face to hide my insecurity.Evelyn sighed and lifted my face. “You are not alone; I support you. Oh no, it's us; although Roger is a bit annoying, I believe he's on your side. And I trust our Alpha. If he says he loves you, he won't leave you."Hearing her say that, I couldn't help but cry; Evelyn finally convinced me and nodded.In the evening, I took the initiative to go to the kitchen to tal
The next day I went to the training ground with Evelyn, which was also my first time back here after the events that had just happened.There, the first person I met was Diana.“Why did you bring this weakling here?” Diana lifted her chin at Evelyn and me."Watch your mouth, or I'll sew it up." Evelyn rolled her eyes.I pulled her back before it worsened; I remember when I first met Diana. Even how hard she was on Evelyn."Stop arguing; you'll argue every time you see each other; what troublesome women." Roger glanced at us and then warned. "Max is back; he's very strict in training, don't let him get angry; we won't be able to stand the punishment."Hearing this, Evelyn and Diana simultaneously shivered. Even though the three of them in this training ground all had the same role and same authority. But in general, Max is Beta; his power is second only to Ryan, so they all respect him very much.While I was thinking about it, Max also arrived. As soon as she saw him, Evelyn raised her
Evelyn finally smiled at me. At the same time, Max came out; he glanced at me and then spoke to Evelyn with an expression that couldn't be sterner. "Come inside; I have something to say.""Is there something that can't be said here?" Evelyn raised her eyes in disinterest. "If you like, go and talk to your Violet yourself; we don't need to go inside to see the two of you exchange affectionate glances or act out a passionate love scene."“What nonsense are you talking about? When did you see my exchange penetrating glances with her?" Max was a little annoyed. "I see a problem with your eyes."Evelyn rolled her eyes. "Everybody sees it, and it's not like I slandered you."Max was silent for a moment as if trying to suppress his emotions, then spoke. "Your attitude is not good today; you go home and rest; no need to practice."Evelyn stood up again, furiously pointing the knife at Max's face. “What do you mean? You want to chase me out of this place quickly; no one will bother you, right?
Since that day, Ryan has become overzealous in everything that concerns me. He was always beside me day and night, worried that something would happen to me.But suddenly, in the fourth month of my pregnancy, Ryan disappeared for a day, and instead, Evelyn and Diana came to talk to me to ease my boredom.When I asked, they said Ryan was busy with something but asked more; no one would say.In the evening, Diana and Evelyn took me out, saying that a new restaurant had opened and wanted to go there with me to try it out.From the moment I became pregnant, I became lazy, and under Ryan's extreme care, I rarely went out. This is a rare occasion when I leave the house without Ryan's presence, making me feel a bit absent.My particular driver is Max. "It is an honor to let a Beta be my chauffeur." I joke.Max laughed. "Luna is exaggerating."He had just finished talking when the car also stopped when he was about to get off the car, suddenly Max received a call and hurriedly said. "It's not
Erza's POV:After Kent's death, the internal Blue Forest was as tangled as a pile of cobwebs; because Kent had no children or siblings, the battle for the Alpha position was fierce. With no one willing to give in, the Blue Forest continued civil war and withdrew from the Alliance.Initially, Chad had left the Alliance at first, leaving only Kent and Galvin to support; now that Kent is dead, Galvin, no matter how smart, is not strong enough to resist the powerful forces of Black Moon. n just a short month, Galvin had utterly lost.Galvin is very thoughtful; he knows there is no way to win, so he accepts surrendering to reduce the damage as much as possible. Before being arrested, he also arranged for the next person to become Green Snow's Alpha, so Green Snow's situation is much more stable than Blue Forest's.Even though the Alliance lost, Chad was not spared even though he had been away from it for a while.Chad was found and captured by Roger and Diana in the border area.When I saw
At night, I took the 200 best werewolves into the forest.With Erza's direction, we quickly saw Kent's castle."Erza and I will go inside first; only when you receive my order will you be able to enter," I say."Yes, Sir."Erza and I looked at each other and nodded; we gently went inside to avoid detecting Kent.Erza led me to the place where Erina was being held; in the distance, we heard the sound of fierce fighting."Something must have happened to Erina." Erza is worried."Just keep calm, approach, and see the situation first," I said small.As I approached, I heard Kent scream indignantly. "Whore, I'm going to kill you today; why are you and your sister both so obnoxious? How can you resist my poison? You were supposed to be my puppets; let me control you. And yet that whore Erza broke my control, damn it!"Erina's shrill laugh followed you. "Do you think you can win if you lock me in here? I know I made a mistake when I betrayed Gray; now he must really hate me. If you want to u
Brian's POV:In my sleep, I heard a strange sound like the anguished cry of a wild animal, and I immediately jumped up. In the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes stared at me, its sharp teeth close to my neck but no further action.I was shocked to realize it was Erza; I reached out to turn on the light and looked at her sourly.Somehow, my Erza is losing control entirely and going insane. Her wolf appearance was also unusual; I wouldn't have recognized her without her scent."Erza, what happened to you?" I tried to talk to her but Erza didn't seem to hear.She turned her head to look at me, drooling. In her blood-red eyes, a small corner still looked at me tenderly. Perhaps Erza was trying to counter her crazy side and protect me while I was still asleep."Erza, can you hear me talking?" I said small.Erza, sitting motionless, suddenly glared, and the gentleness in her eyes also disappeared. She looked at me with utter hatred in her bones; she charged at me madly. I bet my heart coul
Erza's POV:Since my return, Ryan has been very different. He kept staring at me constantly like I would disappear if he left me for a second. At times I feel amused but more than just helpless. Recently Ryan has become overly concerned with me; he stays by my side all day long and doesn't let me leave his attention one bit. Even worse, if he had an urgent need to leave, he would call Diana over to watch over me like a child.I sighed, even though I enjoyed being with him and also understood how much he cared for me. But sometimes I feel stuck; I need some alone time, but that's not allowed.But I don't understand what he is worried about. I just accidentally fell and fainted, nothing too big; why is he so scared?"You really don't remember anything?" Diana asked me curiously."Remember what?" I asked the opposite.Diana frowned. "Where did you end up that morning?"I propped my chin dejectedly. "I explained it many times; I went out to survey and accidentally fell.""Not true; you ta
"Ryan, how are you?" Erza pulled my hand away; looking into her calm eyes made my heart feel lighter, but the fear that hadn't dissipated made my hand tremble."Where have you been?" I asked weakly in a low voice.Erza didn't rush to answer me. Instead, her gaze fell on my hand, and she frowned. "Why are you injured?""It's not important right now, Erza; answer me." I almost screamed at the last sentence, and I'm afraid just a little more I'm worried I'll die.Erza blinked in surprise at my attitude, and she didn't understand what I was saying, she whispered comfortingly. "Do not worry. In the morning, I went to survey the terrain around here, unexpectedly slipped, so I fell, then I lost consciousness; I just woke up just now."I'm selling suspicious news, Erza has no reason to lie to me, but there are a lot of irregularities in this."I'll bandage your wound first." Erza gently pulled my hand into the room and gently disinfected me. "Are you hurt?""No pain." I slowly shook my head;
Ryan POV:I just got back from packing house to track everyone's workout progress. The situation outside the border has recently become tense, so I do not have a moment to rest correctly. And this is a rare moment at the end of the day. I lay down on the bed and started thinking about Erza, and I hadn't seen her in a long time. I sighed and took out my phone, hesitating for a moment, still not knowing whether to call or not. I know her place is also very stressful; maybe she is resting right now; I shouldn't bother her.But I don't know why; I still feel insecure all day today. I was uncomfortable lying on the bed, finally decided to call.I was looking forward to hearing her sweet voice, but all I got in return was a cold, unreachable line.'What the hell is going on? Erza will never turn off her phone because she knows we'll always miss her.' Andrew started to complain, annoyed; for the past few days, he's been urging me to visit Erza, but now, lost contact made him almost insane.'
"Erina, I don't want to hurt you; please stop! I'm Erza, your little sister!" I tried to avoid and recommend it, but it didn't help.When I looked at Kent and Violet, I could see that they were smiling in satisfaction at Erina's frantic expression.Violet clapped her hands excitedly. "Well done, Erina; if you bite her to death, I'll give you more medicine.""What medicine did you give her in the end?" I had difficulty dodging Erina's dangerous attacks.Not only is she bigger, but her strength and speed have also increased a lot compared to before; just dodging makes me so tired that I can't breathe. But Erina is like a fighting machine, and she doesn't get tired or know pain.The only thing she did was bared her sharp iron teeth towards me and charged."A good medicine that I just made, and someone experimented with it, and I immediately gave it to her." Violet stroked her hair; she sat on Kent's lap and leaned against his chest. "Do you think I'm doing well? She can't distinguish any
I finally stopped the car before the castle gate and followed the man leading the way inside. Only now did I understand why it was called a living maze? The terrain inside was highly complicated; no matter how hard I tried to memorize the route, it became useless after the next door was opened. I'm afraid everyone will bury themselves alive inside this massive structure without a map.The man led me to a blue room with three skulls hanging in front of the door, which I judged to be the real thing.I don't know who is unhappy, dead, and can't rest in peace, forced to become a 'decoration' like this."Alpha Kent is waiting for you inside, and he will be happy if you come." The man lowered his head, maintaining a fake smile.I pushed open the door and entered; suddenly, a flash of light followed, followed by a loud explosion of firecrackers.Kent appeared in a suit out of the shadows, but his smile was perverted. "I've been waiting for you for so long, and you know how I can't wait to se
