Ryan POV:I don't know how long I slept, nor what happened outside when I was in a coma. I know I've been lost in a particular world for so long that I feel uncomfortable and frantically try to escape. But all my efforts are in vain; I can't get out; I hear Erza's voice in my ear, she says she wants to go somewhere, but I can't stop it because my body is rotten. Every fiber of my body softened and fell, leaving only my skeleton and faint blood trails.For the first time in my life, I felt helpless, but I didn't want to give up; I knew somewhere someone was waiting for me to come back.I opened my eyes dimly, this body so weak that I didn't think it belonged to me. I looked up at the ceiling for a moment before catching my breath, I tried to lift my left hand, but something was pressing on my arm.My wolf, Andrew, began to purr happily. 'I thought we'd be dead this time, but now we can wake up again. This time we have to thank our mate.’‘Mate? Erza?’ My eyes narrowed, the old story fl
In response to my heart, my hand raised and touched the center of his forehead. "Don't frown."Ryan was a bit surprised by my actions, but instead of stopping him, he was immensely enjoying himself."Ryan put me down." I couldn't sit still when I saw his breathing start to get chaotic.This time Ryan did not stop me anymore; he casually withdrew his hand and lay still. “Change my bandages back.”Sure enough, I guessed right; his wound began to bleed with white bandages."I'll call Lagan." I quickly adjusted my hair and wanted to go out.But before I could leave, Ryan spoke. “Stand back; you do it.”I stood up for a moment and then pointed at my face. "I?"Ryan's face remained unchanged, eyebrows raised. “Is there a third person in this room?”"But I don't know how to do this; I'm so clumsy; I'm afraid I'll hurt you." I hesitated, but most of all shy.Ryan looked at me, and for the first time, I saw his childishness. “Then just let me bleed and die.”I swallowed hard, awkwardly, I trie
Ryan POV:Suddenly she became sad; her face reddened shyly a few seconds ago, then a few seconds later, she was brooding. I want to ask, but I don't understand why I can't say it. My chest ached; I only wanted to hold her in my arms.But Erza dodged my touch; she raised her head as if she had something difficult to say and then looked at me with sparkling eyes filled with tears as if there were many grievances. Looking at those eyes, my previous desires disappeared, and now I feel my heart soften.'She's upset with you, Ryan. You are too rude; how can you tease her like that?' Andrew started grumbling like he was innocent.'Shut up before I get mad.' I growled back at him, my mind on Erza now.‘What are you angry at me for? Worry about coaxing her.’'You don't talk like you're not responsible for this; you tingle when she touches you too. I even heard you groan and be pleased; now you're neglecting your responsibilities?' I snapped.Andrew let out a gasp, his tall body starting to squ
Because of her, I broke the rules.“Change my clothes,” I ordered Roger.Roger raised an eyebrow, mindlessly speaking to me. ‘Why not ask Erza to do it? I think you'll like that.'I didn't answer; I just glanced at him.Andrew was also starting to get annoyed. 'He's so talkative; I want to push him as far as possible. Why can't he be as quiet as Max?''You're a stranger to him asking me those questions?' I asked Andrew and then continued. 'But for the time being, I can't trust anyone else but him. Max is away, and Evelyn also has to deal with the convention.’'How can you trust someone as talkative as Roger?' Andrew growled.'So can you tell me one time Roger didn't do well? Even though he's unreliable on a normal day, he can be trusted when something happens. He's like Max, both with absolute loyalty.' I replied to Andrew.'Okay, you decide for yourself.' Andrew sulked and disappeared.I rubbed my eyelids and glanced at Roger. "Hurry up!"...Erza POV:"I'll go out first." I took the
Just then, Gray and his team arrived.First, Gray's cold gaze swept over me for a few seconds and then stopped at Ryan; he slowly walked over, and without waiting for Ryan to invite him, he naturally sat down in the opposite chair. Of course, Erina is his Luna, she has rights too, but now she's frozen; in those big round eyes, I see a flash of fear as her eyes meet Ryan's.It's not strange; Ryan always knows how to scare others, and rarely doesn't anyone tremble when facing him for the first time. Not far away, I am also a victim, until now every time I think about it, I still shudder."A few days ago, I also came, but it seems your health is not good; you have refused us many times." Gray was the first to speak; then, he paused for a few seconds. “You look perfect today; your health has improved greatly.”Ryan is nonchalant, like he doesn't consider this conversation important. "You too."Gray smiled politely. “We are both Alphas; you and I both know our resilience. It's a strange th
After saying that, I looked at Gray. He has changed a lot compared to what I remember. Could there be downsides to being at the pinnacle of power? I absentmindedly looked at Ryan again; this man was always quiet and cruel. But is there any truth inside? Does Ryan want to become a bloodthirsty man? When he was with me, I could still easily see his gentleness, meaning he was not cold-blooded as rumored.Sensing someone looking at him, Ryan turned to look at me with complicated eyes.I smiled softly and shook my head to say it was nothing."Say, what do you guys want?" It seems that Ryan is more serious now because he is really out of interest and wants to end the conversation quickly.Gray adjusted his emotions after his rage with Blake, and now the two powerful Alphas are facing each other, although, in this room, there are fresh flowers everywhere and the faint smell of essential oils, for some reason, this time. When those fierce eyes met, I sensed the very smell of blood - death.“I
I cried silently, wanting to tell Ryan it was just a misunderstanding. Gray came forward to say something to him, but I couldn't hear him because of the distance.At this time, Roger also leaned close to my ear and whispered. “How dare she dare, but you don't. Are you inferior to that flamboyant girl? Look at that smug face on hers; that arrogance makes me itch.”Roger wanted to provoke me, but he didn't know; I don't have that much envy, and of course, those words don't work on me.It was true what he said; Erina was staring at me, and her lips curled up mockingly after a while. "If you're scared, go home before it's too late, don't follow others there and cry bitterly."I looked at her; I felt it was expected since I was familiar with Erina's talking style.“Who told you not to dare? Did she say it?" Roger lifted his chin confidently. "Erza is someone I trained; she's not afraid of heaven or earth; should she be afraid of those things?"“Hey, Roger…” I nudged Roger in the waist and
It was hard to believe when I found out it was a place still in use.“This place used to be a prison, but it is rarely used now. Because there are so many strange things surrounding this place, few people are willing to go to it.” Ryan explained. "It's not much different from an abandoned house now.""What's so strange?" I shrank back like a turtle. "Is there a ghost?"Ryan lowered his eyes to look at me, and even though he tried to hold back, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips. "Miscellaneous thoughts."I swallowed, my legs limp. I'm not a complete believer in the existence of ghosts, but I don't think there isn't either. However, my feelings became so strong also because of the eerie atmosphere around this place, it made my headache uncontrollably, and every ghost movie I've seen replayed in my head.We went inside together; through the door was a space filled with the smell of rust and dampness.Erina frowned and waved her hand in front of her nose. “What a horrible
