"True love's kiss." One corner of Mike's lips lifted, along with one eyebrow. "Good luck, Alpha Albert!" he said as he patted Albert's shoulder twice, before walking away.Albert was stunned. He did not respond to the doctor's words and gesture. The Alpha's eyes were fixed on the girl lying pale-faced before him. Inwardly Albert whispered, "Will the kiss work?""No! It's ridiculous! It's just a fairy tale, it won't work in reality." Albert monologued while shaking his head softly and smiling wryly.Instead of doing what Mike said, Albert chose to hold Ryn's hand with no intention of letting go. And speaking of kisses, Albert was reminded of his dream. The fear trembelled his heart. Then he thought, if he did what Mike said, would it make him lose Ryn forever? Was this what the prophecy meant? He would die if Ryn died. Is that how the Bloodwolf mate bond worked?"Sir, what are you doing?" joked a nurse who had just entered the room when she saw Albert leaving his gurney.The Alpha half
Call it magic or miracle. The reality was that Ryn woke up after Albert kissed her with love and sincerity. "Gosh! I swear I love you." Albert held Ryn tightly. There was no greater joy than seeing her open her eyes. Albert released her embrace and kissed her lips. "It worked. The kiss worked," the Alpha said as he cupped the girl's face. In a state of consciousness that had not fully recovered, Ryn tried to digest the Alpha's words. The girl scrunched up her face, unable to decipher Albert's last sentence. "Kiss? What kiss are you talking about?" the girl asked. Albert smiled. Indeed, no one had ever seen an expression like the one on his face right now. People who knew Albert would say that he was not the Alpha. The notoriously cold and cruel pack leader was now transformed into a man with eyes that radiated the light of love. He was enthusiastic about the miracle he had experienced. People would ask, is that Albert the Alpha of the Golden Moon Pack
"What the hell is going on here?"A voice interrupted the severe conversation between Albert and Ryn. They turned their heads, passing their eyes in the direction from which the sound came. Mike was walking hurriedly towards them."Oh my Gosh! Miss Ryn!" exclaimed Mike. The man swung his legs faster with a strained look on his face. "Why didn't you call me if Miss Ryn was awake? Move! Give me some space!" Mike said in a slightly high tone, asking Albert to step aside so he could check on the girl's condition."Your bullshit worked," Albert said, unconcerned by Mike, who looked slightly annoyed at him."What?" The Alpha's words made Mike, who had a stethoscope in his ear, turn to him. "What did you say?" he repeated."I kissed her, and it worked. She woke up," Albert said.Mike's hands hung in the air. Albert's words stunned him, but a moment later, the man laughed."Your jokes aren't hilarious, Alpha Albert! I'm glad Miss Ryn is final
Ryn's condition recovered quickly. One day after leaving the intensive care unit, the girl felt that her condition had returned to normal. However, as long as Mike didn't confirm the results of his observations, Ryn wouldn't be able to leave the hospital. And that made boredom overwhelmed Ryn."I'm so bored. I wanna get out of here," said Ryn, who was tired of being kept indoors with an IV needle stuck in the back of her hand."No! You will only get off that bed after Mike says you can leave this hospital," Albert said firmly.Ryn relaxed her shoulders with a frown on her face."But I am so bored. It feels like every joint and muscle in my body is like a robot. It's so stiff," Ryn complained. A moment later, the girl looked at Albert with narrowed eyes. "Or do you want to do something to cheer me up? Maybe you can do something silly that will make me laugh," she suggested."What?" Albert's face scrunched up. He then shook his head as he said, "No!
Although they had expected it from the beginning, Judith's answer still surprised Albert and Ryn. It was a little hard to believe, but they had actually experienced it. The dream and the reality were intertwined."That's impossible," Ryn muttered."But you said it. From what you said, that place hasn't changed since the last time I came there. It probably won't even change," Judith said with one eyebrow raised."Are you sure?" Albert was still wondering.Judith turned to the man with a faint smile."Do we need to sketch it to be sure? I know a good sketch artist," she said. "Listen! My visit to that place was a long time ago, but I still remember it very clearly. Tell me that you can see the fish dancing at the bottom of the waterfall estuary. It's very pretty. The water is very clear and cold. You can even see your reflection very clearly on the water's surface," he continued.How did Judith know about that detail?That question had crossed Albert's mind. But when he remembered who s
In a few seconds, Albert and Drake's eyes met in a straight line. Eye on eye. Very serious male business. Albert wanted to use this opportunity to have a serious talk with Drake after the previous occasion had lost the moment."You look very tense, Alpha Albert. It seems like what you want to talk about is a very serious matter," Drake said, trying to lower the pressure in the atmosphere.Albert smiled slightly."I'm not one to talk nonsense just to pass the time, Mr. Harmon. Especially with someone I only know on a piece of paper," Albert said, emphasizing his last sentence.Although their tone was low and smiles were always on their faces, the tension between them was still very strong. Judith realized this. From Albert's gestures and manner of speaking, the two men had very serious business to discuss."Gentlemen," Judith interrupted. The atmosphere in the room was already starting to feel uncomfortable, and Judith felt the need to address it immediately. "It's getting a little hot
At midnight, when most people were deep in dreams, Ryn was awake alone. The ticking of the clock became her companion, breaking the silence. The girl rubbed her arms. The cold air from the air conditioner suddenly made her shiver, unlike the usual night. For a moment, her attention was drawn to the two men sleeping on the couch. Albert and Lance had not left her side at all. Neither of them would budge. So, in the end, Ryn let them both stay there. Ryn let out a long sigh. "Why is it so hard to see you two get along? It would be great if you were on the same server. Working together to lead the Golden Moon Pack," she wished. Since the beginning, Albert and Lance had been like water and oil. The two of them were always involved in tensions, and it was very difficult for them to get along. She could use the emulator to emulsify the water and oil. Ryn hoped to bring them together. "It's cold in here." The cold interrupted again. "Aren't they cold? Ah, how could I forget? They are were
Silence. Almost nothing was heard except for the subtle roar of the car engine and the occasional honking of other vehicles. Even Jayden dared not make a sound, even if it was just clearing his throat to relieve his itchy throat. The four-person car drove in silence. In the front cabin, Jayden was driving, and Ryn was sitting next to him. In the back cabin, Albert and Lance sat next to each other but far apart. Ryn organized it all.It didn't just happen. It was challenging to get Albert and Lance to sit next to each other in the same car with the same destination. This was because Ryn had forced them to be together. They did not immediately fulfill her request at the hospital. Ryn still had to argue with Albert and Lance until an agreement was reached. Each of them proposed a condition that basically had the same thing in common, which was not to interfere in each other's affairs even though they would be living in the same place."Isn't it adorable that the two of them are so quiet
