TerryWhen I opened my eyes, I was surprised to feel that I wasn't hit with the feeling of overwhelming discomfort, the kind one might feel after being in great pain. I should be covered in sweat and dirt from rolling on the ground. But when I realized I was lying in my bed, I felt surprisingly refr
My mind went numb from the debilitating pain when I asked myself why again and again...I lay in bed for a few days. I wanted to say it was the effect of the pain that was eating me away, but I knew it was because I felt defeated, I had no motive and drive to go on like this anymore. I felt so tired
Shannon"Ah..." I let out a pained yell as I got out of the bed. My legs nearly gave out under my weight."What is it? Are you okay?" Vernon who was sleeping beside me immediately woke up and rushed to my side to hold me stand.I gave him a stare and he looked almost embarrassed after he understood
ShannonIn a haze, all I saw was Domenica and Nora's panic faces move closer to mind. I didn't realize when the tears welled up, I couldn't see anything clear at this point.They were saying something to me, maybe asking me what was wrong, but I wasn't able to register any of it. I was in too much p
"You shouldn't be out of bed so soon." He said, his voice full of worry."Please, don't go, don't leave me here alone." I pleaded with a desperate tone, my tears were starting to well up again."Okay, okay, I'm not going, let's get you to bed, okay? Don't get up so suddenly." He said patiently as he
VernonThe uneasy feeling in the back of my mind didn't leave even after she went to the gymnasium. I already notified Adonis and told him to walk her through the training routine, Everything should be fine, and I should have nothing to worry about."Alpha Vernon, Miss Shannon fainted in the gymnasi
VernonMy biology clockwork woke me up right after sunrise. But I decided that I could stay in bed today as I looked at Shannon who was sleeping so soundly in my arms.I knew if I let go of her she would certainly be stirred or even woken up. I didn't have the heart to do that, she was in so much pa
I guessed that could be changed, right?"Do I have anything important to do today?" I mind-linked Adonis to ask him."No, Alpha Vernon, just some meetings, but they were just formalities, you can skip them if you want." Adonis quickly replied."Okay, clear my schedule for today then."I supposed it
ShannonThe ride was short and magical. It was like no one even noticed a huge eagle was flying above them. Isobel said it was because she cast some spell to make the eagle invisible when flying. Such a magic girl. I could never understand her.When we landed in the familiar forest, we saw Isobel's
VernonUnfortunately, he wasn't waking soon enough to my liking. I kicked him hard in the shin hoping it would make him wake up sooner.He was shocked wide awake by the pain, I could see that he wanted to scream, but he didn't realize he was gagged at this point. Seeing him so pathetic, lying on the
VernonI wanted to go and take a look at her before I go. But I didn't trust myself to be able to go after seeing her. So I bit my tongue and held back my urges.When I loaded the last box of the supplies we needed into the RV, Adonis nudged me."Go, I see you eyeing her room all night."He said as
ShannonSince the game room was more like an individual room in the middle of the yard, we were actually standing in the open.The first thing I noticed was a huge shadow flying over us, it was just a dark cloud was suddenly roaming over us. The second thing I noticed was the voice, it was chirping,
Chapter 115Shannon"I know. But how are you going to do that? If you don't have the secret weapon, you will need all the help you could use."He seemed to be considering what I just said."Yes, but I really don't want to risk you, and that little girl. If you are not going to Arthur's, where do you
Shannon"What do you mean it will need a lot of my blood?""You said it yourself, you need one drop of your blood to light up the rock. But the treasure land is a land. You will need to spill all your blood and maybe some more to get the treasure to unlock. Are you okay with this?"I didn't know. I
VernonI knew my decision not to tell her that my father was the one who made her an orphan would come and bite me in the ass later.But I never expected that the truth would be slapped on her face like this. By a strange guy who was allegedly supposed to be her husband.All I noticed was that I saw
ShannonI said okay because I already saw Adonis standing behind him. Adonis was a little taller than Jayde. I pretended to pick up Isabella and walked over, but no more than two steps, I saw Adonis put him into a headlock.Hugo pushed back and Adonis dropped the knife. I set Isabella down and immed
ShannonBefore I could ask out loud, Vernon was the first to speak."What do you mean gone?""I wanted to check on him after I woke up, and when we walked to the closet, he was already gone..."Fuck, we underestimated him. I remembered we checked on him last night, and that meant at some point last
