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
Ryan POV:After leaving that prison, I took Erza back to the mansion.The whole way, she was silent, very lazy, and moody like a lost soul.I can't understand what she's thinking. Why did just witnessing the death of a traitor make her this way? She also doesn't have a simple quality of a warrior; I suggest tightening her training more than before.We didn't talk to each other until we got back to the villa.Then I received a call from Max; I temporarily left Erza in the room and went out into the hallway to receive the call. "Are they moving?"Max is serious. “Temporarily not. Three days ago, I saw them lead a large force of elite soldiers out to the edge of the forest for drills, but then they retreated as if it were just a normal exercise. But I'm afraid it's not that simple since their practice has a lot of irregularities, but since I'm stupid, I can't conclude the difference. And the important thing, I'm afraid my location has been discovered, and I have to find a new hiding plac
I am cold. "Don't act like a child; honesty isn't befitting a Luna."“I said I never wanted to be Luna. If I became Luna and had to get rid of the emotions of a human and then become ruthlessly murderous, then I don't need that illusory position. I would rather be who I am so my soul can be at ease. How much blood was on the hands of the Alphas? Is it possible that you have never felt a pang of conscience in your hearts?" Erza's voice was initially sweet and pleasant, but now every word was like a knife in my ear, and I could feel the anger that was contained in those tiny words.I frowned, not expecting that one day she would dare to talk to me in the same tone of voice. I am Alpha, my command is supreme, and no one has dared to oppose it, but Erza is an exception. She always has her own opinion and defends it fiercely, but unfortunately, our ideas are not the same.There's one more thing I don't understand, why would she hurt and blame me for someone like Rowan? He and Red River alw
Returning to the room, the servant stood outside the door, calling in a low voice. “Lady Erza, I have prepared lunch. Would you like it now?”Her response was silence.The maid tried calling a few more times, but there was no response.Hearing my footsteps, she reported trembling. “Lady Erza… she locked herself in her room and refused to eat her lunch either.”I frowned; why does she continue to act like a child?“Just leave her alone for a while,” I said softly.The servant was surprised at my statement, but then she bowed her head and left. I stood outside for a while, completely silent inside. I feel a bit nervous; Erza can't be that spontaneous.I knock on the door. “Erza, are you listening to me?”Still the same, she didn't respond.Unable to wait any longer, Andrew began to lose patience and temper, and he shouted. 'Don't wait; go and get her out. We need to talk seriously; I don't want to leave my mate even for a bit.'My mood is not good either. “Don't be in a hurry; maybe she
My thoughts differ from my father's; I don't consider myself an honest person or a gentleman. But I have my ideas. I think I'm strong enough that I don't need anyone to protect me, and most of all, I consider my Beta or Delta to be my comrades, not a shield to sacrifice.I turn my eyes to Jason; he was wearing a rather loose dark blue shirt today, one hand casually in his pocket, the other with just an empty arm. His left hand was bitten off when he tried to protect Titus.Titus also realized what I was thinking but chose to ignore it.I tapped my fingers on the arm of the chair; if he understood my thoughts, I could read his thoughts.What made him rush to come here was not to ask about my health, but it was related to Brian, in his eyes, a traitor worthy of being chopped to pieces.But I never cared about his grudges when I was young, but when I took over and became Alpha, I seriously thought about it too. If one day Max betrays me, what will I do with him?Will I hunt down and kill
After being bandaged and asked questions, Titus had no reason to stay, so he soon left. Because, after all, since I was a child, he and I have always been at odds, we are father and son but also enemies, and I used to hate him so much that I wanted to kill him when I came to power. But that never happened because Jason, my mentor, led me on the right path.Before putting him in the car, Jason stayed for a few minutes to ask me a few questions. “Alpha, I haven't been able to contact Max lately. Is he okay?”"You don't have to worry; he's just moving, so it's taking a little longer to settle in," I answer briefly.But as a father, Jason couldn't help but feel nervous; he stammered for a moment, then asked. “I know it's a bit overkill, but… can you tell me a little about what mission Max is doing?” The next moment he was afraid of something again and immediately withdrew his words. “If it's top secret, you don't need to tell; I get it...”There's also no reason to hide Jason more than an
I frowned without answering. It's not that I don't trust him, but my anxiety is too great right now. I don't allow any mistakes to happen now because I know that if anything happens to her, I won't live.But then, my prayer was also approved by God. Lagan has successfully stopped Erza's bleeding; other injuries are not problematic, and as long as they are bandaged, they will be fine."She's not dangerous anymore." Lagan sighed and sat down on the chair next to him.I looked at her with indescribable bitterness, now profoundly regretting leaving her alone."There won't be the next time, I promise you." When I finished, I lowered my head and kissed her forehead with all tenderness.Seeing her broken shirt hurt me even more, but I couldn't change it for her because if Erza woke up and found out about it, she would be angry. I walked out, and the maid from earlier was still there waiting for orders.“Go find a clean shirt and replace Erza; remember to be gentle,” I said with a tired voice
"Unfortunately, the Stephen family is gone; we can't get the antidote or the potion to maintain that state from them." Lagan troubles. "But don't worry, I'll find a way not to let the wolf..."I raised my hand to interrupt Lagan's words. “I will keep her by my side, I will not let this happen again, and even if her wolf appears, I will control it. And I also think her parents nor I have the right to take away her power. Let everything happen naturally and according to its natural laws. Surely Erza doesn't want that either; she's not a puppet and only has the right to decide her destiny."Lagan objected to my decision; it was the first time he had argued with me. “Don't be so reckless; Erza's wolf is too dangerous. If it gets out and takes control of Erza, that would be terrible; she certainly doesn't like it either."“You mean I can't control it? Its power even surpasses mine?” I glanced at Lagan.He sighed, shaking his head. "No, I don't doubt your strength at all."“Okay then, this
