Lea's pov:The moon has risen to the surface. Although it wasn't too late, it was time to rest at home. The office is already quiet, leaving only a few employees working overtime to catch up on their projects. I touched my own nape before massaging and tilting it right and left until there was a slight creaking sound. "My body feels so tired." I raised both my hands high into the air. My bones seemed to be back in place. There were only a few minutes left before my shift ended. Usually, Easton would go home around dinner time, and I followed suit.I took a deep breath and stared at the open glass window. "It turns out that working with a man who's a workaholic is quite draining." In truth, I was just like Easton. I really liked spending my time on things like this. Working hard and killing time because I don't like being lazy. And I used to do it for my family, even though the result was still me being discarded and considered incompetent in maintaining the family's honor.And after
LEA'S POVAnd lo and behold now, the man was sitting quietly on his work chair as if nothing had happened before. Easton had even checked some of the documents and emails I sent him this afternoon. He looked as healthy and fit as ever. In fact, just a while ago, Easton looked like a man who was dying of chronic heart disease.Now, I unintentionally looked at his neck, which just a moment ago seemed to be sweating profusely. And now, my gaze descended slightly until it came to the partially opened buttons of his shirt. The top three buttons were open, and I could see part of his broad chest.I immediately looked away with the heat burning my face. This felt embarrassing, considering what had just happened between us here. "How could a kiss help him get rid of the pain?"I mumbled a little, still feeling confused by that. Then I shook my head, trying to push away the thoughts that kept making me unfocused. I still had work to do before the night became too late.But then, I was startled
LEA'S POVI placed the spoon on the bowl after finishing a serving of cereal and milk this morning. Then I turned my head to the side, where Selena seemed still nibbling on a sandwich she had just finished baking.Selena's eyes glanced at me with a squint. "Did you have breakfast at home? You usually disappear at this hour." I looked at the clock on the wall, where it was seven in the morning. "Yes, the boss asked me to come at the usual time." I nodded slightly before leaning my back against the back of the chair. Selena blinked with a furrowed brow. The woman was still looking at me seriously. "Oh, doesn't that mean you have to leave early? You said she was already in the office when you came yesterday."I shook my head lightly. "No, I don't need to come early." Letting out a short sigh, I rested my head on my hands on the table. "My boss always comes at nine.""That's why I can come at eight." I smiled, feeling pleased with myself for what I just said. With my time, I could wait
Lea’s POVThis time, I really felt strange. From the time I came to the office until it was almost eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Easton hadn't done anything. That man was still busy with his files and doing nothing.Just look at how the cup of coffee I made him this morning is still on his desk. He hasn't asked me to change the temperature of the coffee, arrange the files in a different order, or order snacks from a five-star restaurant with special specifications. Last I remember, Easton had asked me to bring him lilies from one of the flower shops before asking me to arrange them in the room myself.This felt a little abnormal. Even though he came at nine, he wasn't working on me like usual. "Is this the calm before the storm?" I couldn't help but be prejudiced against him. Easton's behavior has always been annoying since I've worked with him."He's not planning anything, is he?" My work today was fairly easy, with no problems coming from Easton. Although I liked this atmosphere
EASTON'S POV Lea Dennison. An alpha female of the Dennison family with a cold nature. She has sharp eyes and a tall build for a woman. The way we met could not be considered ordinary. In fact, it can be said that it was very unexpected. We met at a nightclub with a misunderstanding—a big misunderstanding that made me so angry because of what he had done. At that time, I had come there to calm down and release stress after all my work and responsibilities as president of Terra Nova. And that night, I unexpectedly walked into one of the rooms and saw Lea sitting with liquor on her desk. Lea looked dazed with a mischievous glance, she was clearly not fully sober. She looked at me intensely, like she was assessing me from top to bottom. As for me, I suddenly felt the pain in my chest return. The damn illness that came unexpectedly almost made me grimace and turn away. But the moon goddess seemed to have other plans. At that moment, I could clearly recognize that the woman was an alp
LEA'S POVIt was pretty tiring. My shoulders felt heavy with a bit of annoying soreness. I tilted my head slightly and massaged the part that felt tense. Today's work wasn't any lighter than usual. The office was really busy with overseas client matters.I tried to finish all the work before lunchtime. Now, all the files Easton needs are ready to be checked during lunch.I stretched my stiff body by pulling both hands up. My eyes took in the surroundings, where people seemed busy chatting with each other with big smiles. Ah, I just remembered that I didn't have a single friend. After all, I've never been very interested in joining a large group of people. I like to keep myself busy and do what I want. "Yes, it's lunchtime." I stood up from the chair and walked towards the elevator. I didn't need to approach his room. He had already said I could go for lunch. That man still had some business that couldn't be delayed.I tidied up my messy hair a little because I'd messed it up too many
LEA'S POVMy eyes flashed right at Jane, who was still gripping my hand. The ungrateful woman is so brazen to me. Just look at how her hand even only seems to consist of bones and skin, is holding my hand tightly. Who does she think she is to do this? I could even just slam her down without much effort.And so, with just a single flick, I swatted her hand away from mine just like that. I didn't need to use much strength to do so. Jane was definitely no match for me.But just look at what this woman is doing now. Her eyes were wide, and her mouth was loudly screaming. "Ah, sister, this hurts!" Her hand was clutching the hand that I had just crushed. She seemed to be whimpering in pain with her eyes closed.She even acted as if she had been pushed into the car door. There was a slight braking sound when her tiny body hit the car. I sure as hell didn't expend that much energy just to get her off me.Jane's face looked so shocked, an act she was so good at. "Why are you so cruel to me?" s
LEA'S POVI walked quickly into the office. My eyes were only on the road ahead, and I didn't care about anything else. I couldn't even hear the greetings of the returning employees. I felt like hurrying back to the office and took a deep breath.As soon as the elevator chimed and I reached the top floor, I walked straight out and knocked on Easton's door out of habit. The ethics of politeness wouldn't just disappear even if I was in a bad mood. Let's hope there's no problematic work for me to handle. Or I'll explode when I get to the flat later."Good afternoon, Mr. Easton." After bowing once, even without seeing his face, I sat down in my chair and opened the files that I was going to give to Easton. His schedule to meet with the client would start in two hours. And as I recall, I had already contacted the resort that there would be a visit today.My forehead feels heavy right now, and every letter on the sheet of paper looks like it's mocking me. Unconsciously, I exhaled heavily m
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
