LEA’S POVI quickly stepped into the house. The atmosphere felt different, with all the servants bowing stiffly. On top of that, Easton wasn’t sitting in the front room with his usual cup of tea or coffee. He was in his room, and I had already heard the bad news about what had happened to my mate. A woman had snuck into Easton’s private chambers, intending to seduce him and take my place in his bed. Ah, what brazen woman dares to invade my territory? It seems she’s grown tired of living in this world.And sure enough, when I opened the door to the room, I was met with a rigid face and sharply arched brows. His eyes radiated fury and emotion, and in an instant, a cold chill gripped the air. Easton's aura was so intense that it silenced everyone in the house. It was clear why the atmosphere felt so grim.I slowly walked closer. At that moment, Easton turned, his expression fierce. But it didn’t last long, because soon after, his eyes widened. In an instant, he shifted from a fierce wolf
LEA'S POVI saw her there, sitting in a prison cell in such a shabby state. There was no glamor and sparkle or even a cheerful smiling face. Jane looked miserable and embarrassed. She looked like a cheap bitch with no self-respect. I was sorry that Father kept a woman like her at home.I grinned and walked closer to the prison cell. With that, Jane looked up and met my gaze. Her eyes widened, and Jane rebelled against the iron cuffs holding her. "Damn you! It's all because of you!"Jane shouted, her chains clattering against the cold, half-wet floor. Even so, Jane's rebellion had no great effect. The chains were so strong, and she would only trouble herself. Her frail hands were reddened, accompanied by small scratches from the blisters caused by moving so much.So I smiled, shaking my head without breaking eye contact between us. "What a noise, Jane. You are a loud-mouthed bitch."I laughed out loud, giggling freely. "Look at that outfit of yours. It won't even be able to cover half
LEA'S POVFrom up here, I saw Jane's delightfully frightened expression. This shameless woman was finally caught by her own trap and languished in a prison cell. She had lived in comfort and leisure for too long. Jan never worked hard and was always pampered. But now, she had to enjoy her time with her shabby body and the cold air.I savored it thoroughly before squatting back down in front of Jane. I wasn't satisfied with scaring her yet. She deserved this. I grinned, and she clenched her fists. "This is all payment for what you've done so far."Jane looked away again, she rejected everything I said, and it pissed me off. I pulled her chin harshly before delivering a solid slap to her cheek that made it red. I saw how Jane's expression opened her mouth in disbelief because I didn't like it. And I also didn't care how much blood came out of her mouth from my slap. Jane was so bitchy and insolent that she dared to touch what was already mine."You should enjoy this because there's so m
LEA'S POVEveryone should know that I don't like what is mine being touched by others. Especially with a purpose, because I don't like sharing with anyone. It's even more complicated when it comes to Easton. Easton is my eye, only I have the right to everything about Easton. It doesn't matter if it's just the tip of his hair or his warm gaze. I would be distraught if anyone else dared to touch my line of ownership. Jane is no exception. That woman should step aside and be self-aware of what she's about to do with other people's property. So, what I did now was to wipe away any traces of Jane's touch that might still remain. I'd rather smell the antiseptic all over Easton's body than let him be plastered by another woman's fragrance. The only scent that can naturally penetrate him is my pheromones.Until I found Easton smiling with his eyes directed straight at me. "Why are you smiling?" I was a little annoyed that when I was feeling so fiery, Easton was smiling that wide. I didn't
LEA'S POVHearing what Easton said made me feel a little scared. The elders in the werewolf world are a crucial and highly respected group. Their position may not be very visible because they also rarely interact with other werewolves. They separate themselves and live separately. Usually, when visiting, they would make an appointment as if they were the busiest werewolves in the world.But, if Easton were to finish off the elders for me, it might significantly affect the other packs. They might turn Easton into an enemy and stare at him with hateful eyes. No longer a look of respect and flattery for bringing his pack such great success. Easton would be regarded as something terrible and must be destroyed."You don't have to do that, I just don't like them." I tried to calm Easton down. It would be awful if Easton actually eliminated the elders. Easton's future might be jeopardized. And I couldn't bear to imagine Easton experiencing such a moment. Easton has worked hard to get to this
LEA'S POVI let out a long sigh, closing my eyes slightly with the accumulated fatigue. "Today was hectic." No work didn't come, and everything was vying to be prioritized. There was no reason to be lazy. Everything seemed to be on hold.I looked around the room and found that it was only me. "Easton's not here." And that pissed me off. Because Easton had to go out of town to handle production issues at his frozen food company. And chances were, Easton wouldn't be back until noon. I thought it would be a long time. Since I realized the bond between us, I felt it was so easy to miss him.Usually, someone is trying to split my focus during break times. And at times like this, she wasn't beside me. It was so dull.But at least this pile of work distracted me. Little by little, the documents piled high up started to dwindle. I managed to finish almost all the work before lunchtime."At least it's not too bad." I stretched my body and looked out the window. The sun was high. Now, it was ti
LEA'S POVI knew a little about this woman with wavy hair who stood proudly before me. Some newspapers provide quite a lot of information about her. She often appeared in news headlines and magazines as well. Of course, it was because she was a female CEO whose name was quite famous among businessmen. She could handle big problems and was one of the CEOs with a high reputation for success.Even so, this was the first time I met her. Her name was Jasmine, and she immediately spoke so rudely with her chin up in front of me. I had never caused her any trouble. In fact, when I was still working for my family office, I never got involved with this woman either.I was pretty surprised because we didn't know each other. She was very good at making haughty expressions and condescending looks. It's just that I don't think I've ever gotten into trouble with her. In fact, I'm sure this was the first time we'd spoken to each other.Her attitude was so rude I certainly wouldn't give her the slight
LEA'S POVI turned around to find Easton emerging in his all-black suit from a car. I did not expect him to come when Jasmine and I were in a conversation that could not be called friendly. We were arguing, and Easton came over with a flat face.Now, Easton was standing next to me and looking straight at Jasmine. Jasmine and I, who had been in the public eye since the beginning, became even more interesting because of Easton's appearance. Some werewolves peeked out from inside the office. In contrast, others stopped at the pedestrian area or deliberately walked slowly to listen to our conversation."What are you here for?" Easton's voice sounded deep and unfriendly. I could even sense that Easton was uncomfortable with this rude woman's presence here. "Don't you have any manners?"Jasmine rolled her eyes at me before looking at Easton. She wasn't like most women who flirted with Easton with a friendly face and an artificially sweet smile. Then I remembered if she was an alpha like me.
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
