LEA'S POVConny was choking me with such intense pressure. Her eyes seemed to sharpen, and her hands kept pushing me back even though I was already pressed against the car. My senses were getting worse, and my breathing was becoming labored. I kept trying to break free, but Conny didn't let go. Instead, she intensified her pressure on my neck and veins.Finally, when my consciousness was fading, and I wasn't sure how much longer I could hold on, only one person came to mind: "Easton." He was the only one I called, no one else. When everything seemed to fade away, only Eatson's image became even more vital in my eyes. He was my eyes, and I could feel it.For a moment, I felt like I was connected to him. It felt so close, but I couldn't see where Easton was. Until Conny's choking became more and more uncontrollable, and that's when everything went black, and I lost consciousness.I don't know how much time passed while I was unconscious. However, when I opened my eyes and looked around,
EASTON'S POVAnger came over me violently. I was so angry when someone deliberately touched what belonged to me. No one has the right to go near or even notice. What was mine would remain so forever.I was inspecting a large hotel project in the north shore area at that time. Everyone seemed to be busy, and I was no exception. Some places required direct supervision to review, and suddenly, a call rang through my mind."Easton." The voice was so clear that it was as if Lea was right around me. We weren't together or connected, and suddenly, her voice was calling me. It sounded so weak and almost desperate."Damn it." I knew for sure that something terrible was happening to Lea. My woman must be in trouble. And I turned around and left the project just like that. The wolf in my head howled long and loud. "Damn bastards! I'll kill anyone who hurts my eyes!" Without much help, I could find Lea's whereabouts with my bare hands. She had locked up my eyes in this damp and unfit room. And
EASTON'S POVI was still looking deeply at Lea, feeling her inside me. We were still driving in the car, and I was sitting on her left side. Lea also seemed to be looking at me with furrowed brows."Are you really okay?" And when I said that, Lea, of course, immediately snorted. The beautiful woman who had become my eye also straightened her sitting position and folded her arms across her chest."Of course I'm fine. You can feel it yourself." It wasn't a lie. I could feel that Lea was already so much better and no longer affected by the wolfsbane. Her face looked fresher, although the scars had not completely disappeared.The tear marks on Lea's lips were even more visible in the afternoon sunlight, which made me angry. Unconsciously, my forehead wrinkled, and I realized that Lea kept looking at me with a questioning gaze.I finally let out a long breath and nodded. I still felt uncomfortable and uneasy when today's series of events were recalled. Lea almost died at Conny's hands, tho
EASTON'S POVThe heat that lingers on my body feels so overwhelming. The closer I got and kissed Lea's entire body, the more the insatiable feeling attacked me again and again. The deeper I plunge, the more pleasure that is so overwhelming.I once almost lost Lea. Someone made her miserable and nearly left her forever. Without me even saying it, Lea must be able to feel if I'm so scared. I feared that Lea might never return if I was late, even for a second. My beautiful life would only be a fairy tale."Lea," I growled long, grabbed Lea's hand, and held it tightly above my head. I've always loved how Lea's expression looks when the whiteness is about to arrive. Eyes widened until only a desperate moan could be heard.My eyes returned to the grip of my hand. With sweat dripping down, we chased each other's pleasure."Easton, I..." Lea stuttered, no longer able to find the words from her throat. She closed her eyes and moved in rhythm. We chased each other, upping the tempo until there
Lea’s POVI was well aware of what had happened to Conny's pack. While their alpha, who had resorted to cunning tactics, had undoubtedly perished and vanished from the face of the earth. Because up to now, there was no news whatsoever about him. About his whereabouts or his current condition. He had sparked unrest, resorting to any means necessary to get what he wanted.But one thing was certain, news of Paleclaw Fur pack's destruction had spread. People said it was the result of Alpha Easton's wrath, for their own pack's misdeeds. Instant karma to be borne collectively, because of their alpha's crimes. There was no mercy, only lingering cries of despair."Never try to provoke Alpha Easton's pack, or we could all perish," someone spoke near the wall, along with two companions enjoying afternoon coffee at the café.Soon, a woman with wavy hair nodded, catching my interest as I observed them from behind. Waiting for the news they would soon spread. Women were usually adept at this—gossi
LEA'S POVI saw the man there, wearing an ivory-white suit and pants. His gaze was rigid, and his face was cold. His body was tall and thin. His hair was close-cropped, with a little part hanging down over his forehead. His eyebrows were white, matching his clothes.Elder Carl, as mom called him earlier. However, from how she greeted him and responded to the news of his arrival, I could sense that she didn't like elders very much. She looked panicked, and I could even hear her swearing and letting out a small groan. I hoped nothing wrong would come from this uninvited man's arrival at the house.In fact, an Elder is a leader who, I heard, has a very important role in all the laws in the werewolf world and also the pack. Elders are experienced people who should be able to ask a lot of questions. Even so, I honestly don't like elders very much.In my eyes, they are often very annoying with their conservative opinions about this and that. But on the minus side, they rarely do anything si
LEA'S POVThe sound of heavy steps could be heard behind me. When I turned around, I found Easton carrying tea and enjoying his biscuits. He gave me a small smile and sat beside me in the lounge."Are you okay?" It was an unusual question, considering I had only been home all day due to Easton's order for me not to go anywhere. And he knew that I was obeying his wishes.And look at the worried expression on his face. He had two eyebrows knitted together while his eyes focused on me from top to bottom. He looked like he couldn't believe what he saw with his own eyes.So I nodded and shifted my seat to look at him. "What is it?"Easton seemed to exhale a heavy sigh. He shifted his cup and gave me a bite of biscuit. Which, of course, I accepted without further question.Easton's eyes fixed my lips, and I waited for him to speak. Until his gaze returned to mine, he gently clasped my hands on his lap. "I know that Elder Carl came to visit and met you at Mom's house."Ah, there it is, still
JANE'S POVIt felt as if the sky collapsed, crashing down on me repeatedly. The news of Conny’s death shattered me to the point where I couldn’t even get out of bed anymore. Everything I had fought for was lost. And to make it worse, Conny’s death was caused by a woman who had always been an obstacle to every one of my dreams—Lea.Not only did Conny die, but the pack was destroyed in the blink of an eye. Apologies and pleas for mercy were ignored. Instead, the Paleclaw Fur pack was crushed entirely, shown no forgiveness. No future, no hope. We were wiped out like dust blown away by the wind.“Damn you, Lea!” My voice echoed through the empty room, filled only with my own despair. All of this, every problem, was caused by one woman who should have been eliminated a long time ago. Lea should never have existed in this world, constantly putting me in difficult positions.I roughly wiped away my tears. It didn’t matter how soaked my pillow and hair were—my tears kept falling, along with t
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
