Trust me, you will enjoy Anna and Ethan's bonding the most in the future :)
Ethan's POV:As expected after hearing my loud rumble, that woman rolled her amber-brown eyes viciously at me. Her small face grew darker from wrath making me quickly catch the hint that my reaction had badly offended her. I could feel the aura emitting around her seemed too eerie not to notice me, as if possible, she would just chew me alive right at that moment. The way she tossed her death glare at me, my feet immediately retreated a step behind her towards the wall, as the air between us grew very heavy. But she boldly marched forward this time, gritting her teeth at me, as her words sounded like a menacing threat, “You must have a death wish to raise your voice at me, huh? Damn…human! Should I just rip off your vocal cord first? To ensure…you won’t be able to utter a single sound for the rest of your life ever again…” Darn it! Why do all these werewolves resort to violence against minor inconveniences? Zeus also formed this stupid pact with me so that he would wrap me around
Ethan's POV:But before I could feel her claws touch the surface of my skin, a giant figure suddenly appeared in front of me out of the blue and stood like a huge shield to protect me from her attack. With my eyes half closed from fear, sensing someone’s arrival there, I managed to blink open my orbs and saw someone wearing a pitch black long coat, with massive broad shoulders that guarded me standing up front. I could immediately recognize that figure from one glance. It was Zeus, and it baffled me to realize he finally arrived in my defense, regarding his vow to me that he would never let me get hurt. My heart suddenly drummed faster deep down my chest when I mustered my courage to glance at him properly. He was perfectly groomed in a branded long coat with dark grey denim, looking no less than an enchanting celebrity, with fair skin that shimmered under the morning glaze. But rather than looking like a college student, his exquisite fashion sense made him look as if he was going
Ethan's POV:Before Zeus could address a word to my loud grunt I saw the woman walk a few steps close to him at a speedy pace. She put on a surly face, sounding quite ardent from her tone, “Master…as you know…until now I have never once defied your command, and I vowed never to do that. But today, you’ve left me with no choice. “How could I co-exist with this fussy human brat here when he creates a ruckus on any slightest inconvenience? He came here to live with us in the mansion, so he must be the one to adapt to the rules of this mansion. But how dare he disrespect you openly, and even ask for a special privilege, not knowing his place here?” “Hah, excuse me you insane woman, for your kind information, I am not the one who came here willingly! Of course, no sane person would walk into the lion’s den all by himself!” Her antics to manipulate Zeus right in front of me had greatly irked me off as I couldn’t control myself from gnawing at her. She shuffled her rolled glare on me, but
Ethan's POV:There he goes again…casually blurting those passionate words at me without warning! The touch of his cold hand that tucked mine inside his pocket made me flinch hard since I was never accustomed to embracing this kind of little affectionate moment, especially coming from a big guy like him. But it would be a lie if I said it didn’t make my stomach feel giddy inside when he suddenly gave me a sense of assurance through his words. While I was trying to endure these unusual palpitations he stirred up inside my heart every time when I saw that dazzling beautiful smile plastered on his face, it also made me sometimes wonder…how he acted all-natural every time while casually throwing those punchlines at me. Was Zeus an inborn flirty? Is this some kind of blessing gorgeous guys like him are born with? To be honest, after watching how coldly he budged off Emma at the party, without showing any interest in the flock of girls hovering around him…if there was anyone else from th
Ethan's POV:Honestly, whenever I saw Zeus making that solemn face at me, somehow it had started to get me anxious. Especially when I saw him grabbing something from the backseat of the car, I wondered if he was about to hand me over that damned $ pendant once again!Before he could grab my arm, I lifted both my palms and uttered in a jittery voice, followed by a big sigh, “Hey, look…if you want to give back that $ diamond pendant, I really don’t want it man! It was a lie, okay? I didn’t pick it up for selling it or whatever…I was just making pointless excuses without realizing that I must’ve presented myself to you like a dork. But seriously, I don’t need it anymore…so you can toss it away or whatever…but please don’t give it to me!”I almost stated the words in one breath, leaving Zeus a little startled as he confusedly blinked his lashes a few times at me. However, his solemn expression turned a little dense after he heard me. He rolled his pitch-black orbs, and a small cryptic sn
Ethan’s POV:Ahh, finally! Finally, I made it to my dream university after all these years of working myself to the bone…Bordwell University, my dream campus. Standing in front of the lavish campus entrance gate, I couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed by my emotions. My new life begins here…a life where I could provide a good life for my mother who’s the only family I am left with in the whole world. After losing my father to a car accident when I was only 7, my mother was still very young and beautiful. But without listening to anyone’s advice, she didn’t give up on me and rather raised me all alone facing the turbulence of hardships throughout her whole life. Watching her suffer all her life while holding a serene smile on her lips, ignited the fire within me from a very young age to be very successful in life so that she would never have to work again to make ends meet. The first step towards my long-awaited goal was to graduate from the most prestigious university in the c
Ethan’s POV:“Are you alright?”A kind, soft voice from behind summoned me as I turned back to notice the person who had called me. That guy was also a tall, handsome young man, but a little shorter than me in height. Wearing specs and looking a bit nerdy, he seemed like a studious polite student, but I wondered if all the guys on this campus were blessed with handsome faces.“Well, I happened to meet an arrogant jerk on my first day here. So, I am a little perplexed right now. I wonder if the other people here are at least a bit friendly…” Gulping my saliva, I answered him in a low, irked tone while glancing at the way that jerk just left. “Well, everyone who runs into Zeus for the first time has the same experience more or less. He’s just the opposite trait of yours.” That guy chuckled a bit while responding to me, walking closer. “Zeus?” I quickly caught his point, frowning my brows as I questioned, “Did you see me bumping into that jerk? Are you talking about him?”His smile wi
Ethan’s POV: I was certain that Zeus had noticed me standing at the door bearing a contemplated look, but that jerk arrogantly turned away his face as if he didn’t give a crap about my existence at all. At that moment, a middle-aged lady professor walked inside the classroom, making all the students greet her cordially. I was still nervously standing at the doorstep, contemplating my choices, but I heard the professor summon me, “You’re the new scholarship student, right? Why are you still standing there, come inside. Take a seat. We are already late to start but the freshmen will share the class today with your seniors because it will also cover the syllabus for their midterm.”Her greeting didn’t make me feel at ease either. All the desks were already taken, except the one next to that jerk and I didn’t have the slightest will to sit there either. But since the class was about to start, I felt like I had no other option as I marched close to his seat. Gently I tapped my finger on

Ethan's POV:Right after turning behind, within a few meters from me, I saw a small young petite woman, with a round face, probably in her early 20s with piercing amber-brown eyes glowering at me. Her lean pale appearance gave off a strange eerie aura around her, which I could sense from the very first glance I led on her. She was quite shorter than me in height, but she was wearing an absurd-looking laced, vintage long black dress which I had similarly seen in movies worn by the maids from the Victorian Era. Was she actually a maid of this mansion, or am I mistaking her? But in this modern world, I wondered if any girls would be up there to choose such a vintage fashion over modern outfits, and even if she was an outsider, I hope she didn’t get bullied for her atypical fashion choice. The moment our eyes met each other, I saw her clenching her jaws as she marched a step towards me. Her red lips curved with an eerie sneer when she rolled a glance down at my trembling right hand clas
Ethan’s POV:When he uttered those words to me while keeping a stoic face, it flinched me a little. Hearing Zeus made me feel as if he had coldly warned me from accessing a forbidden area of his mansion to protect some of his dark secrets which he must’ve hidden from everyone’s sight. For a second, my curiosity piqued inside as I continued pondering what he might’ve been hiding on the third floor… But considering his vicious true self, my blood almost ran cold when I imagined what if he had been hiding all those human corpses there on that floor who went missing around in the town? Nothing could be cut off the probability at this point…and I do not wish to witness such a gore scene like that from last night. Once was too painful for me to watch, and it was enough. So I could realize, if he was forbidding me from going up there, most probably it was for my own sake. So, I was bound to obey him for not violating this damn pact he had formed with me. When I was muddled by my inner tho
Ethan’s POV:Honestly, it didn’t avert my attention that Zeus’s facial expression kept on changing a few times upon hearing my question, as I wondered if his inner thoughts perturbed him. There were so many questions I wanted to ask him… Most importantly the confusion stirred first inside my mind when despite witnessing his cannibalistic vicious self, a part of my heart continued pestering me to believe that Zeus wasn’t a ghastly man from the inside. He could have bothered to show me no pity for my pleas. If he wanted, Zeus could’ve easily cast me away to those vicious wolves last night, as a punishment for intervening in between his meal, especially after I had punched him in front of everyone at the party. But he kept his word as the Supreme Alpha and even brought me to his luxurious mansion. Waking up neat and clean like this, I had already figured out that Zeus must’ve taken care of me after I passed out last night, or else, he could have easily dumped me away in that tiny dorm
Zeus’s POV:I was at a loss to express the emotional turbulence that had been gushing inside me right now after finally hearing his honest answer, but I could feel the restlessness overwhelming my chest inside had calmed down, making a heavy huff of relief fall off me. In contrast to me, Ethan was a very ordinary powerless human being, but since the day my paths crossed with him, not a day has passed by when I wasn’t amazed by his actions. Exceeding my expectations, when he professed that he followed after me inside the Black Woods at late midnight, just because…he was worried about me…I couldn’t help but snicker a gentle snort of laughter, resting my head on his shoulder which had him flinch a little. No matter how hard I tried thinking, I couldn’t remember when was the last time, or how long it had been since I had a human who willingly intended to help me without expecting any of their greedy wishes in return. When the minimal amount of faith I had put in Ethan started to shake
