LEWIS
“Alpha, elders from the Silverwood Pack are begging for an audience-“
I lifted a hand to stop Simon, my gamma, from talking.
‘Be quiet,’ I said through a mind-link. Simon, who was at the receiving end of my statement, visibly flinched as if he just received a huge surprise.
I lifted a brow at him but did not call his rude behavior. I could not blame him. Afterall, in my pack, it is a well-known matter that I hated being connected to another through a mind-link. And unless absolutely necessary, I would never converse to another in this way.
‘However right now, it’s necessary,’ I thought as I looked at Lia’s peaceful sleeping face. It had been a few hours, yet she was still sleeping so deeply.
“Uhm… alpha…” Simon said very softly. “Those elders… they are begging on their knees and are causing a ruckus&hel
LEWIS"You were just so energetic, but now you sleep like a log again," I softly mumbled as I stared at the small figure on my bed.Lia, who was just blushing profusely and denying my ambiguous statement earlier, fell asleep the moment I laid her on the bed.I knew that she was exhausted. However, the speed when she dozed off, just after sleeping for hours, was quite not normal.I sat at the side of the bed and observed her peaceful face. At that moment, Lia looked relaxed, which was opposite to her heartbroken expression earlier. I reached out and softly traced her face with a finger.“You have no injury in your body, and you must have replenished your energy already,” I stated. “Still, you sleep so deeply as if you just ran a few hundred kilometers marathon.”After my statement, I observed Lia for a few more minutes before softly sighing and saying, “I have
ADELIAChirping birds at the window stirred me up from my slumber. My eyelashes fluttered before I slowly opened my eyes and slowly woke up. After a few deep breaths, I realized that my body felt comfortable and energized.“How long have I been sleeping?” I murmured on the sheets.‘The last thing I remembered, I fell asleep in the car and used Lewis’ thighs as my pillow. Then, he teased me before carrying me up and bringing me to be,’ I thought to myself.‘So… I ended up falling back to sleep…’I lowered my eyes and stared at the king size bed. It was the same room that I slept on the first night that I stayed here – the room where the Symbol of Talascar could be found. Even without thinking about it, it was obvious that the room belonged to Lewis. I licked my dry lower lip before sitting up.“So pretty,” I could no
ADELIA“Okay,” Lewis started to say. “You were looking scared when I saw you earlier. Please tell me. What’s wrong?” He asked me, effectively making me recall the anxiousness that I earlier felt. And in my mind, I saw the images of my visions I previously saw.Lewis gave me a deep and concerned look before sitting beside me. Then, he called my name, “Lia.”“You can tell me. We are a team now, aren’t we?”“Ah,” I softly exclaimed.I blinked at him. ‘Could it be… he wants me to tell him about my worries?’ I thought to myself.While it is true that we are in the same team and I am under Lewis’ protection, I should not bother him with my useless anxieties – that was what I thought.Through the years, I have learned to keep everything to myself. Even in my visions, there was never a time whe
LEWIS“Block all the roads. No one is allowed to cross the borders.”Roughly an hour after my conversation with Lia, I was sitting in the middle of my study with most of the high-ranking werewolves in the pack was gathered.“I am deploying everyone, including those who are on vacation. Block all entry and exit to the royal castle. Don’t let a single fly go out,” I ordered in a stern voice.It was a highly treasonous statement that would surely send a werewolf to the dungeon. Despite this, everyone in the room calmly accepted my order.“Yes, alpha,” without hesitation, they simultaneously declared.I put my elbow on top of the table and placed my chin on my palm. “Any question?” I asked them.My question was like a trigger that set everyone excited. In just a snap of a finger, their serious faces turned eager and passionate.&ld
LEWISThere is a saying that I often dismissed. It says, karma comes after everyone eventually.That saying could only affect the weak ones - or so I thought. I have the power to overcome anything including karma - or so I believed.But when I looked at the little woman with flushed cheeks who was standing next to me, I knew that karma already came knocking at my door.'Damn it,' I secretly swore as I tried to maintain an innocent look on my face.At that moment, Lia's blushing cheeks were more noticeable than usual. She was wearing a casual white t-shirt that fits her small frame nicely, and a pair of fitted jeans that showed off her gorgeously shaped legs. Her still wet hair was casually falling on her shoulders and she smelled like my shampoo.Her own fragrance mingled with the scent of my shampoo was enough to drive my wolf mad.Lia sent me a small, shy smile and my body suddenly hea
ADELIAMy eyes fluttered open and saw the familiar part of the great forest. It has been a few hours since we left the Pack of Talascar, and looking outside, it seemed that we were already near the territory of Emoresi.I squinted my eyes before letting out a small yawn. All I could remember was getting inside the car with Lewis. I did not realize I fell asleep, and for a few hours at that. Thinking about this made my face turn warmer, especially when I stole a glance at the driver’s seat.To my surprise, it was a young woman with flaming red hair who was driving the car. My eyes widened because before I fell asleep, it was Lewis who was driving the car.“Are you awake?” Suddenly, I heard someone say from above me. Hurriedly, I lifted out my chin to see Lewis’ face a few inches from mine. My eyes widened even more as my cheeks flushed red.“Ah,” I softly mumbl
ADELIAI have a small and humble house in the outskirts of the town. One could say that it was one of the worst locations in the territory. However, it was also the cheapest and the only place I could afford with my salary at the flower shop in the nearest human town.Although it was not much, for me, it was my home, my safe place that I go home to everyday.To see it in a state of shamble... it was shocking and hurting. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.'Why would they do this?' I thought to myself. 'It's only been two days since I was gone... why would they destroy my home?'I opened my eyes and once again saw my devastated house. The door and windows were all broken. My personal things were smashed and crushed, and my small selection of clothing were torn apart.'Was it father? Before he attended the gathering, he came here and broke my table already,' I thought. Inside my chest
LEWIS I was called the cruel alpha because of one reason, and that was my belief that if you were my enemy, then it would not matter who you are.You would still experience a fate worse than death.For years, I have lived by that thought. And whenever someone slighted me, I would not hesitate to retaliate and bring hell to him.I never thought that there would come a time when I would clench my fists to stop myself from attacking. However, I did not regret it, because in my heart I knew that it was the right choice.After all, everything else goes after her, and my immediate priority is to look after her well-being.‘Is she feeling any better?’ I thought as I looked at Lia. It was a couple of minutes after that bastard came and invited us to his villa.I did not have the slightest interest in coming over to his estate and had a strong idea of rejecting his offer. However, th
HALENI looked at the blue sky and felt a strange emotion in my heart."It looks so peaceful," I said as I squinted my eyes.'As if there is no on-going war...''As if there is no threat to the existence of werekind...''And... it is thanks to them,' I thought as I shifted my eyes to the beautiful pair who was standing in front of me.'Yes. This is the best idea. For now, this is what I must do.'I clenched my fist as I met Talascar's dark eyes and nodded."Do this favor for me," I solemnly told him.Talascar narrowed his eyes on me as if he was displeased and annoyed at something. No wonder, he must be thinking that I am interrupting his precious time with his Luna. The corners of my lips raised to tease him. Talascar always hated it when I teased him and would usually ignore me. At that time, however, he did not look away and his eyes even became more seriou
ADELIAAlec screamed at the top of his lungs. His face, it was showing great grievance as if I took his heart and tore it in front of him.If I previously saw this image, even though my heart would not necessarily move, I would still feel some emotions in my heart. But at that time, in my heart, I could not feel anything other than indifference and disgust towards the man who was supposed to be my mate.Thus, I ignored him and focused on the power of my soul.A few seconds later, a white mist started to be emitted from my body. The white mist looked clean and bereft of any impurity. And the moment it appeared, the surroundings suddenly became more peaceful and tranquil.Alec’s crazy look became calmer but the shaking in his body intensified.“You… Adelia… you…”“… you have… the power of a god?” He asked incredulously.
ADELIAIn front of me was the man who I hated and longed for.Alec Emoresi.My alpha and the one who was given to me by the moon goddess as my mate.For years, my thoughts were filled with him. From the visions that I had, until crafting the plans to avoid him, Alec would always be in my mind.He was the reason for my extreme emotions in the past… The intense pain inside my heart and shattering of my soul… the suffering of my wolf.Alec Emoresi was the reason for many things that affected my life.Yet, as I looked at him… I feel nothing but indifference.‘Is it because I lost my connection to Ylva? I can’t feel anything when I look at him.’ The thought came into my mind, but I immediately dismissed it.Because at that moment, I was aware of the thing that I had to do.'Ylva...' I called my wolf's name and tightened my hands into
LEWIS“What took you so long?”The moment we entered the room, Halen sent me an aggrieved glare and exaggeratedly pouted.“It’s been days that I have been imprisoned here. But you took your sweet time to rescue me,” he started complaining. “Or is it that you didn’t want to see me and intentionally let them keep me here for a long time?” He sent me a hateful glare.The corners of my eyes twitched as I watched the prince acting like a spoiled and distressed princess waiting for her knight to appear. I felt a shiver down my spine as I imagined Halen wearing a skirt. Thus, with narrowed eyes, I made a slicing motion with my hand. Immediately, the shackles surrounding Halen broke.“Finally!”Halen exclaimed with exaggeration.I squinted my eyes at him and said impassively, “Your highness, I need your assistance.”H
LEWISThe castle ground that was previously filled with orderly hustle of werewolves roaming around became deserted. I felt the lingering cold air on my face and lowered my eyes in slight displeasure.“Pardon us, Alpha Talascar. His highness the prince wants to convey that he is currently unavailable to meet you. After finishing his task, he will come over to your territory,” an old man said.Baleeva, one of the most trusted council of the werewolf lord, stated. I turned to look at him and squinted his eyesThe old man did not have any reaction at my stare. However, he could not hide the cold sweat that was dripping on neck.“Lord Talascar, we will send a word. For now, please go back,” the old man reiterated.I did not reply to him. Instead, I merely stared at the man who used to be the loyal right hand man of the previous werewolf lord.The old man noticed my pi
ADELIAA sweet but bitter feeling enveloped my heart and happiness surrounded it.'So this is how it is,' I thought.'There I was, thinking that I had stolen Lewis' destiny...'``There I was... believing that I took Lewis away from his fated mate... and that cheated on mine by choosing Lewis over him."'But... it really ended up like this...'The sweet yet bitter feeling that was in my chest instantly became stronger and my eyes turned warmer.It was a feeling of relief. But more than that, a feeling of love enveloped my heart.No, the feeling of love was not the love I felt for him from my past life. Aside from the memory that I just witnessed, I did not know anything about our past. My love for Lewis was slowly built with all our interactions in this life.The way Lewis cared for me and how he has always treated me.The way he looked a
ADELIAThere was a loud thump in my chest and my heart started beating.The hall was indeed extraordinary. It was simple and bare, with no pieces of furniture inside except for the shining crystal ball in the middle of the room.Even though I have not seen it before, I started to feel comfortable… like a feeling when one went home after years of being away.However, my attention to the hall did not last long as focus was immediately shifted away by a beautiful figure who walked into the hall with very cold eyes.He was very tall, and his body looked divine. His long, silky, jet black hair was untied and fell until his knees. His face was like a masterpiece sculptured by a thousand angels. And his eyes… His midnight eyes were like jewels that held a deep abyss.I sucked in my breath upon seeing him. ‘Lewis?’ I immediately thought.Although the man looked a little
ADELIAThat day was something that I would remember for the rest of my life.Lewis looked at me as if he were a predator who wanted to devour his prey. But his touches… his kisses…. and the way he held me was so gentle. It was as if he were holding a fragile porcelain that could easily break if he were not careful.But although he held me so gently, he was still so vigorous that he managed to give me bliss I never thought existed. He taught me a pleasure so overwhelming that I thought my body would break until I could not help but cry.Everything was just so beautiful... so amazing... and my body and my soul felt satisfied...... as if a forgotten promise was just fulfilled.And when everything was over, my body still remembered the feeling of his touches as if his hands remained on me.I opened my eyes and took a deep breath. My body felt sore, and when I felt that p
LEWIS The woman was the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life. Her face was more alluring than an angel, and her aura was so pure, so bright. Seeing her made my heart skip several beats, as if I were seeing my salvation, the reason of my life. ‘Lia,’ I thought, wanting to call her name. However, I found my lips unable to move as I desired. ‘This… is a fragment of memory of my soul. Everything that I am seeing right now… I have seen it before,’ I thought to myself as I decided to relax and enjoy remembering the memory. Lia, who looked so magical, raised a hand, and tucked her hair behind her ear. It was just a simple action, but my heart started to ram like crazy, surprising me. ‘Am I currently feeling this emotion… or am I remembering how I felt before?’ I thought to myself. However, I did not have enough time to figure it out as Lia started to walk towards me. She w
