JANE'S POVThere's nothing for me to do at the office. This place was boring, so I decided to go home. The personal chauffeur Cony's family provided for me was always available when I needed him. And now, the man in his mid-forties had safely driven me back home. He didn't say much. Perhaps that was the rule of the Cony family. After all, I don't really like talking to people who don't have power. They sounded pathetic even if they only opened their mouths.Once downstairs, I went into the house and searched for Cony's whereabouts. he wasn't in the living room or room. So the only possible place was his study. I didn't even have to knock on the door and just walked right in. We were married, and every room in the house would be mine, too.And sure enough, I found Cony sitting at his desk. With a little sneakiness, I approached. Before jumping up and hugging his back from behind. "What are you doing?"I had expected more of this. But what Cony did next managed to make me feel humiliate
LEA'S POVI walked quickly after entering the door of Celestial Plaza. While looking at my watch, I held a red folder in my hand. Slightly cursing Easton for forgetting an important file at a time like this. Although this was the first time Easton had committed a faux pas, it would still be a waste of time. I had to circle around many shops and put on a straight face at every offer.My destination was only one. On the second floor of the plaza, Easton had a scheduled lunch and meeting with one of his business colleagues. "Ah, Easton is really annoying. How could he leave this when I've already prepared it."A few minutes ago, I was already up there and sitting casually with Easton. But that guy told me to return to the car while he sat back with a cold drink.But then I stopped my footsteps. I stared up there and was silent for a moment. "It could be that Easton did this on purpose."Before I went downstairs, I had seen Easton meeting with an alpha. I didn't pay much attention to him,
LEA'S POVI saw it clearly. How Cony was trying to apply more pressure to corner me. The veins on her hands and neck stood out with a greenish colour. Did she think I'd be scared? Seriously.There was no reason for me to fear a man like Cony. We were both alphas. I won't back down even if he challenges me with his physique. I can match him. Even if I look physically disadvantageous, I have studied martial arts before. This won't harm me at all.But something held me back from throwing a punch first. I couldn't just take Cony's anger out in a public place. Although this corner was not frequented by many people, it was still an area that was easily accessible to many people. Moreover, the plaza was not a werewolf-only area. Some humans live side by side with us. And they would probably be very scared if they had to witness a fight between werewolves in the open like this. They would scream and run, and we could traumatize the humans unintentionally.My eyes glanced at one place, where t
LEA'S POVWe were already quite far from Cony. I stood still while Easton looked at me intently like he was scanning for something. And I realised that the alpha who had previously met with Eatson was no longer there.I immediately let out a long breath. I felt pretty regretful that I was actually hindering Easton's work. "I apologise. It looks like I'm really late to deliver this file."Easton glanced at the red folder in my hand with no interest, he didn't seem to care at all. And now, the man just looked back at me with a concerned look. "You're really unlucky to meet that guy here."I nodded in agreement. "Yes, I was unlucky to meet him here. It's a bad day." Cony was like the plague. He infected my good day with his ugliness until it became so messy. You see, he even made me look useless for neglecting my work. This file didn't arrive at the right time.Cony nodded, then looked at me with something you couldn't guess in his eyes. "If you're unlucky like this, how about we go shop
LEA'S POVThe sun has set, and I've been back at the Easton residence since an hour ago. I sat down on the bed and let out a long breath. Closing my eyes tiredly. And when I touch my cheeks, I can still feel the heat left behind from the afternoon.I don't know how red my face is now, but I don't want to see it myself. It's embarrassing, and I'm sure it will be the subject of Easton's ridicule for who knows how long. That man wouldn't let me calm down even for a moment."That alpha is already crazy," I mumbled, rubbing my throbbing forehead. Not only did he carry me around the plaza, but even when I got into the car and arrived home, Easton still carried me like I couldn't do anything without him. Even though it was clear that my legs were still functioning, he knew that I was fine.I'm sure as hell I looked so embarrassed right now. The waiters who met me in that position obviously held back smiles by looking down deeply. Gosh, I must look so ridiculous. I don't think I'll be able to
EASTON'S POVOne file has been checked. I put the pen I used to sign one file onto the table. My gaze fell on the computer screen, which was still lit with accurate data from Lea's work.Speaking of Lea, I can breathe a sigh of relief now. Her presence in this house makes me feel calmer. I don't feel anxious quickly and try to find ways to meet her face-to-face. You could say one of my burdens was lifted. Because I can see Lea whenever I want.In fact, thinking back, I realized there was no work I wanted Lea to do at home. She needed time to rest after a long day helping me with projects and other matters within the company. But I felt like I wanted to see her around me more often. Even if I had to lie a little by using her status as a secretary, at least I could keep Lea within my current surveillance range."Yes, she is indeed quite entertaining." That was one of the reasons that could make me want Lea to stay in this house. She was so cold and stiff, but I could feel her explosive
EASTON'S POVI was so shocked that I widened my eyes. The feeling of electricity running through my hand was real, and I couldn't be wrong. I momentarily let go of Lea's hand and looked down at my palm. There was no trace of anything as if the previous shockwave was just my imagination. But I can't be wrong. I couldn't have been hallucinating if my whole body was shocked.My mind drifted back to some time ago. When Vincent, the delta who had been serving the pack, and I were talking on the back porch. The man looked at me with a flat face. And I had the same expression as him. We used to exchange ideas when we finished packing work together."What makes you sure she's your mate?" I asked something quite complicated. Although it seems so simple, the matter of mate, not everyone can recognize it quickly. Until now, I still don't understand how we can realize my own mate. And this question keeps chasing me like a ghost.Vincent nodded. He stood tall near the lures I was sitting on. "Of c
LEA'S POVWhen the sun's glare began to make me unable to fall asleep, a warm feeling spread through me. Curiosity and excitement suddenly took over, and I had difficulty closing my eyes.Something unusual was happening out there. I opened my eyes with half the strength I had yet to recover. Even when all my senses of taste and sight were weak, something urged me to wake up immediately.And just as these eyes opened, the silhouette of someone in front of me made Juria, my wolf, thrash violently. "Mate! Mate!"We had greeted each other, and I was becoming increasingly convinced by the feeling that kept pushing me to open my eyes wider. It was Easton Winchester, the boss at my workplace, and now I believed him to be my eye, too."Mate!" Juria shouted back loudly in my head. Easton's hand touched mine and grasped it gently. Until my body felt so hot. It was like a pile of energy that kept getting locked up until it suddenly got a strong push and finally exploded. No, I couldn't just let
LEA'S POVDays have turned into weeks, and weeks have turned into months. Time continues to pass quickly until my pregnancy has reached nine months. My belly has grown, with the fetus moving actively every day. There is no moment that is not thrilling every day to see my fetus showing its increasingly agile state in there. And today, the miracle will come true. I would see the most beautiful gift of my life as it was time for my baby to be born into the world.Sweat was pouring down my face, and the pain was relentless. My eyes were closed, and my breathing was carefully managed. The doctor and nurses were by my side, preparing all the necessities for me to survive the birth of my child. Easton was no exception. My eyes are also here, standing with two eyebrows tightly linked.My mouth opened and closed, with my eyes tightly closed. My hands were clenched into fists, whimpering slightly as the pain continued to attack me from within. I wanted so badly to scream, but every time my mou
LEA'S POVI was still laughing when Easton said not to let him find me. The ice cream in my hand was about to melt, and I could only shake my head. I enjoyed playing chase with Eatson because it was a lot of fun.However, when the ice cream in my hand ran out and I turned around, I was shocked by Eatson's presence. He was already standing with his arms crossed over his chest, and his eyes gazed right at me flatly.I knew that I would be caught. I didn't expect it to be this soon. The phone call ended a few minutes ago, and my eyes were already here. I smiled, looking at Easton, who hadn't left his spot. Even when silent and doing nothing like this, Easton still looks handsome. Very handsome. "Why do you like testing my patience so much, Lea?" Easton's voice sounded annoyed, his eyebrows dipping down with a crumpled face. He walked over and carefully checked my head and other body parts.A long sigh escaped Easton's mouth. He massaged his head as he shook his head. "You know, what yo
LEA'S POVThe news was so shocking that my mouth opened and closed silently. Easton's eyes were shining, and he kissed my hand repeatedly. While I wasn't sure what I had just heard. "So, I'm really pregnant?"Easton nodded, his smile expanding beautifully. I almost squealed, but I held back because my hand was covering my mouth to keep from screaming. Such news made my heart swell. My emotions were exploding like fireworks on New Year's Eve.I lowered my head, staring at my still-flat stomach. My hand moved and came down, rubbing the surface with emotion. "I'm going to have a baby." What a wonderful surprise! Moongoodess had given me a very special gift. I couldn't wait to tell her I was so happy for her."Are you happy?" asked Easton.I looked up, then nodded. The man etta[ smiled, then gave the back of my hand a small peck. One of his free hands moved down, rubbing my stomach before placing it on top of mine. A warm feeling quickly spread through my heart."I'm really happy with thi
Easton's POVLea was lying on the bed, unconscious. She collapsed while we still walked around enjoying the morning air on the hill. Her face looked so pale, and her temperature had dropped. Le seemed exhausted, whereas she had always had tremendous energy as an alpha female.I took a deep breath and rubbed Lea's forehead. My mind was racing, wondering what was going on. Could this all be an effect of the war we had been through? Could something have hit Lea while I was unconscious? Or, worst of all, I was the one who caused this. If anything terrible happened to Lea, I couldn't forgive myself. She was half of my life. She was everything to me. Seeing Lea helplessly made my heart feel sick and uncomfortable.My gaze shifted to Doctor Sean, who had just finished examining Lea's condition. "So, what happened to Lea?"I hoped that Lea would be fine and that she wasn't in severe pain. My forehead furrowed deeply. It had been some time since we had been inside this house. But there was n
LEA’S POVI no longer count how long it's been since Easton woke up from his long slumber. Because all the time we've spent together feels so enjoyable. There's no regret or other hurts, we can smile at each other without any burden.Like today, unexpectedly Easton prepared a surprise dinner right in front of his house. The spacious yard with many lush trees was transformed into a romantic dinner setting with candles beautifully scattered in various corners. A table covered in white cloth with delicious food awaited us.I could only laugh with my hand covering my mouth. Easton pulled out a chair for me. "What's all this? Why are you making such an effort?" I said, laughing. Truly, Easton is completely unpredictable with what he will do next.Easton smiled gently. The man was dressed in a black suit with neatly combed hair. His perfume spread, making me feel so captivated by him. "A little surprise for my beautiful mate. It's been a while since we had dinner outdoors."Ah, that's right
EASTON’S POVThey’ve gathered here just as I asked. The doctor who has been overseeing my condition in the pack, Dr. Sean, is also here, along with my mother and, of course, my mate, Lea. It’s not without reason that I’ve called these important people together. I need to confirm something after waking up from my long sleep. According to Lea, I had been unconscious and unresponsive for three days. And now, my body feels much lighter. If my suspicions are correct, this will be very good news for me.Dr. Sean holds a file in his hand, and I can see him glancing back and forth between the notes he’s taken. His brow furrows as he seems to think deeply before giving a small nod. After setting the notes down on the table, he clears his throat. "It appears that the curse Alpha Easton has been living with has disappeared."One short sentence, but it immediately makes Lea, sitting beside me, straighten up. I can feel her excitement, though she doesn’t show it outwardly. "Disappeared?" She doub
LEA'S POVEaston sat on the bed after I handed him a glass of water to soothe his throat. His dry lips no longer looked as parched as before. His eyes now focused on me, gazing deeply, filled with a glimmer of concern as vast as the ocean.Easton looked at me intently, one of his hands gently touching my cheek. "I tore it that day." He softly caressed the scar that had faded entirely, a scar caused by Easton when he lost consciousness during the battle."You must have been in pain, and it was my doing." Easton’s eyes, usually firm, now appeared fragile. "I should have protected you there. But instead, I hurt you with my own hands."I shook my head, holding Easton's hand on my cheek. "It wasn’t your fault, Easton."I hadn’t finished speaking, but Easton shook his head. "But I’m the one who hurt you. You bled because of my claws. You should have been more careful."I shook my head again, disagreeing with Easton as I looked deeply into his eyes. "It was just a small wound, not even enoug
LEA'S POVIt's already the third day since the doctor decided to keep observing Easton’s condition. Now, I’m buried in a pile of documents that need to be completed quickly due to the overwhelming amount of work. I’ve taken over his duties as Alpha, handling all of Easton’s responsibilities left unattended while unconscious. This includes pack-related matters and the job at the company where I’ve been serving as his secretary.“Take these,” I said, handing Leo over some documents I’d just reviewed. Easton's beta stood in front of me, taking everything I handed over. He’d also placed some new files on the desk, which I needed to finish by tomorrow at the latest.Leo nodded slightly. “Thank you, Luna Lea.” He straightened up while I returned to the remaining documents. Lunchtime had passed, and I’d just finished my meal at the desk. I figured going out would be a waste of time, so I ate here and got back to the endless work.But Leo hadn’t left yet. He was still standing there. I paused
LEA’S POVIt has been three days since that last fight. Easton still hasn't opened his eyes; there is no movement at all from his body. There are no signs indicating he will wake up anytime soon. He remains deep in his sleep, and the energy that usually radiates so strongly from him has vanished, no longer shining with the intensity I used to feel every day. This room, which usually feels spacious and comfortable, has now turned eerily silent and empty. Even though it's just Easton and me here, this silence feels more oppressive and more terrifying. Only I can gaze at him, touch him, hoping for even the slightest sign of life from him. But there is none. He keeps his eyes closed in a frightening calm as if time has stopped around him. The morning sunlight streams through the wide-open window, flooding the room with warm light, yet Easton remains unmoved. There’s not even the slightest indication that he is disturbed by the light, which usually makes him frown. I approach him, sitt
