LEWIS
For the first time in my life, I felt like I was about to have a heart attack.
I saw Lia standing in the middle of a crowded hall. Her long blond hair freely falling on her shoulders. Her cheeks flushed red, and she was breathing heavily due to physical exertions.
More importantly, her body was covered with a torn white dress that gloriously exposed her entire white shoulders, the right side of her waist, and her left thigh and entire left legs.
She was looking so alluring and yet, she had an innocent expression on her face. And I know for a fact, it was because she could not see how truly attractive she was.
My heart skipped a beat as I completely abandoned my original plan on immediately torturing the enemies. Instead, I hurriedly moved towards Lia and reached out for her.
Then, I carried her in my arms as I tried to hide her exposed skin.
Lia blinked at
ADELIAThere were many things that changed from my vision to reality.For one, the attack that was supposed to happen tomorrow happened today. The wolves who were injured, as well as the number of deaths and injuries resulted from the attack likewise varied.In my vision, there were sis alphas and three betas who fell from the enemies’ sneak attack while there were many others who got injured. At that moment, however, there were only a few injuries and zero death.“It’s because of you,” I softly told Lewis. “In my vision, Alpha Gisap was supposed to take care of a number of alphas. He has the ability to imprison anyone within his aura so he brought everyone inside. The werewolves became vulnerable and they were preyed upon by the others.”“But because you are present, Alpha Gisap deemed it necessary to focus on imprisoning you with his aura,” I sai
ADELIACity of Flos, also known as the City of Flowers – a small yet prosperous city near the Pack of Emoresi that has a colorful history. It was one of the oldest towns in the country, and also the place where werewolves of our pack usually go for errands related to humans.Compared to the pack territory, it was the place I considered as my hometown.The people in this city are generally happy and polite. They would greet each other with a smile on their faces and ask each other how their day was going on. More than that, the humans never looked at me with contempt, and the people in my work were very welcoming when I first started my work here.Thus, being in this place never failed to make me feel relieved and more relaxed. Especially at that moment when the city was more cheerful because of the on-going festival.Every year around mid-June, different kinds of flowers would be in full bloom.
ADELIASometimes, my co-workers are overbearing – that was the thought that flashed into my mind every now and then.Maria, Harry, Jackie – the three of them were my always cheerful co-workers who never failed to make me smile. However, there were days when they were uncontrollable and overbearing.‘This is one of such times,’ I helplessly thought as I was pulled inside the shop.“Hurry, get the dress we prepared for her,” Maria shouted. At that time, she already completely forgot that only a few minutes earlier, she was about to pull another person’s hair.“Harry don’t just stand there and grab my make up kit,” she once again shouted. “Actually, never mind the make-up. I think our pretty little Adelia will look best without it,” she sniggered beside me.I took a deep breath before looking at Maria and saying, “
LEWISI just looked away for a second and my mate was already stolen.I looked at the flower shop and sighed. The moment she appeared; Lia was already enthusiastically taken by her co-workers. Although she looked surprised, Lia’s eyes were gentle as she looked at the two women and that young teenage boy who grabbed her.With my aura, I could feel them inside the shop. And when I heard their conversation and Lia’s pretend exasperated voice, a smile appeared on my lips.‘She really loves this place,’ I thought as my eyes roamed at the crowded area.‘I will spare no effort in protecting it.’ A cold glint appeared in my eyes as I felt the unusual movements all around the town. ‘It seems like they long penetrated this area,’ I thought to myself. ‘These runts… they are really prepared.’Lia and I did not hide our presence when we arri
LEWISThe corners of my eyes twitched upon hearing the woman’s words.‘What other girl?’ I frowned before meeting Lia’s eyes.Lia looked at me with confusion at first, until her eyes widened in an apparent realization.I opened my mouth to call her. However, Lia looked away and avoided my eyes.‘Ah?’ My lips opened in surprise.‘Lia?’ I tried sending her a mind-link. To my surprise, however, her mind was closed off and I could not even send her a request.I blinked in surprise. 'Could it be... that she's mad at me?' I thought to myself before taking a step towards her. Unfortunately, Lia was once again grabbed by her friend and brought her to the other flower stands.Lia came into everyone's view when she stepped on that elevated platform. Immediately, she had caught everyone's attention, and all were amazed by her beauty. She merely
ADELIAI was only Lewis' pretend mate, and I was completely aware that our relationship was based on an agreement. Although he marked me, we were never truly mated to each other.That was the thought that instantly came into my mind when I saw that Lewis was over at the flower stands of the Flower Hall. And when I realized that he was standing near the pretty human model, I felt an ache inside my heart. Subconsciously, I ignored his eyes and pretended to focus on something else.'He never got close to anyone and ignored everyone else before... why is he near them and talking to them?' I thought with a frown.'What is this... why am I feeling hurt?''No. I shouldn't be like this. If Lewis finds someone he likes... it's only natural for me to support him with my whole heart,' I tried to convince myself.When Maria asked me to introduce the flowers, I went ahead and started talking about the red r
ADELIA‘A kiss, he said.’I looked at Lewis’ mischievous, yet serious eyes and I felt myself melting, until I could not take it any longer and I hurriedly looked away. Inside my chest, my heart beat crazily fast.‘How could he talk like that...’ I felt my face burning. ‘Lewis is really a man of talent... but I never expected... that one of his talents is flirting...’The crowd turned silent upon hearing him. However, after a few seconds, they started whistling and teasing us.“Oh, wow! He straight on asked for a kiss!”“Girl, you are lucky!” The humans excitedly shouted.Lewis, on the other hand, stayed calm and quiet as he patiently held the bouquet of red roses for me. I blinked thrice on the bouquet, until I helplessly sighed and reached out for it with a small smile.“Thank you,” I soft
LEWIS‘So clueless,’ I thought as I stared at Lia who closed her eyes and offered her cheeks to me.‘So adorably clueless,’ I could not help but repeat.‘I am about to go crazy from wanting you. And yet, you have no clue about it.’ My eyes slightly darkened.‘If that’s the case, I will just go ahead, and directly show you what I really feel.’Decided, I held her chin with my fingers and turned her face towards mine before my eyes focused on her mouth.Her lips were so pink and plump. I wanted to pounce on her and devour her right then and there. …to be able to feel her lips on mine, and to taste the sweetness of her mouth. My eyes turned even darker from desire.And with just leaning for another inch, our lips would finally touch.However, I took a deep breath and forcefully tried to control myself.‘My desi
