Do you still think Zeus is the possessive one among them? Lol!
Ethan’s POV:“Are you freakin’ kidding me, Sir? This is the 9th hill road we have crossed, yet still, you can’t recognize your way? Are you intentionally getting me riled up or is this some new scam pulled by youngsters like you nowadays?” As expected, the young cab driver yelled at me at the top of his lungs the moment I failed to recognize the hill road we took me in. But that wasn’t my fault in the first place! How would I be aware of this place when I am completely new to this town? All the hilly roads look kinda similar to me…and besides, Zeus should have been here to show me the way so I could reach his damn mansion located at some hill point of this town! That’s his fault…why did he have to leave me all alone on my own? I get it that he was pissed with me, but we should have resolved it with a proper discussion at least!But as far I learned from the map of this town, there were more than 15 small hills surrounding this town, so if I asked the driver to change direction again,
Ethan’s POV:I couldn’t understand why, but hearing my mother’s concerned soft voice echoing through my ears suddenly formed a teary lump deep down my throat, as if it was my breaking point. Until now, after enduring all the turbulent events one after another, I was still doing a better job of keeping a relaxed facade before everyone to make sure no one would notice the burden of chaos I was born inside. But now, her genuine concern for me made me realize I was already at my wit’s end…to the point that for a second, I wanted to drop everything else here and run back to my hometown…to my Mom who was the only safe place remaining for me in the world. While my facial expression was twitching and grimacing as I was trying to hold myself from sobbing, it made me realize once again why I begged Zeus to spare my life last night…because I truly wanted to give my Mom a life of comfort that she could never attain while raising me as a widowed mother. I wanted to live for her sake… And it did
Ethan’s POV:Panic-stricken, while I was fleeing for my life and crying out Zeus’s name, suddenly, I sensed the cryptic figure that was following next to me until now rushed forward, blocking my way ahead on the giant highway. Startled by its frightening speed I thought it was finally about to pounce on me, out of panic my feet stumbled, making me fall to the ground. Unable to counter the devastating consequences awaiting me, I hurriedly closed my eyes. Folding my arms, I couldn’t help but whimper from fear, “P-Please don’t kill me…(hic)...I…I won’t taste good either…I have several diseases…so please have mercy—”“If this was truly a wild animal, do you think your begging would’ve actually worked, you fool?” The insulting voice was very familiar, and even though I initially considered that irritating, right now in this absurd situation, the voice sounded like a wave of relief that washed over me. With a quick jolt I opened my tearful eyes and saw Anna was standing right before me w
Ethan’s POV:Despite my startled question, Anna calmly stretched her arms and shoulder, looking quite serious from her appearance which made me instantly realize that she wasn’t joking at all. But hearing a petite woman like her was asking to carry a big man like myself on our way back home…it was normal to be shocked, right?When a brief pause fell between us, Anna rolled her brown eyes while looking a little annoyed from her glare, “I don’t like repeating my words. Didn’t I say…to come over here?” “Y-You…are seriously going to carry me? Why…I-I can walk on my—”“I don’t have the leisure to indulge in your bluff. We need to return to the mansion as soon as possible because Master might have already reached there.” This time Anna didn’t wait for my permission and marched close to me, sounding very rigid in her tone. “Besides, with your pace of walking…it would take us a long time to reach and I don’t have that kind of patience with me. So, will you excuse me?” “Hey, b-but…a woman is
Ethan’s POV: Even though Anna taunted me with her sneer, as if she was indeed irked by my curious inquiries, I casually shrugged, voicing my opinion, “No thanks. I don’t wish for cannibalism. But if I being honest, I am quite curious to know…what humans taste like?” “Awful and putrid.” Suddenly her sneer disappeared and I saw Anna making a scornful grimace as she diverted her gaze away from me. The answer seemed to come out straight through her heart, clearly depicting her utmost disgust when she said it. But until now, I was expecting maybe it would be an exotic taste that must have made Zeus hooked upon it. However, reading her face, I also clearly reminisced that last night inside the Black Woods, Zeus didn’t seem very happy either while devouring that man’s flesh and blood, even though he tried to scare me off quite a number of times. So if humans really do not suit their palate…then why bother continuing to attack and devour them? I knew Anna wouldn’t be able to answer this
Ethan’s POV:It has been only a couple of hours since we had seen each other, but under the glistening moonlight, I flinched hard, watching Zeus’s face look completely pale and lifeless. His porcelain white complexion seemed a little reddened, and he was scrunching his brows while making a pained face, but his every gesture made me quite anxious for him. Zeus didn’t try to shove my hand away from him, neither he took a step ahead, but just touching him by his wrist, I felt his body temperature had turned absurdly cold, as if it was similar to the feeling of touching a corpse! His eyelashes blinked a few times, when I saw Zeus making a pained face, while his chapped lips quivered in a husky voice, “Ethan, can we talk later?” “Nope…I am not letting you slip away from my palm, just like you did in the morning.” However, a strange wave of desperation had overwhelmed me as I clenched onto his left wrist a bit tightly, to make sure I wouldn’t lose my hold on him this time. Watching his p
Ethan’s POV:As an aftermath of my panicked howl, Anna came rushing towards the blood-stained hallway and just like me, she was equally consumed with distress and disbelief to watch Zeus in that miserable state. He had already fainted in my arms by now, and no matter how hard I screamed with tears burning down my throat, he didn’t open his eyes for once. I could feel his breathing was turning shallow, and his body temperature felt cold as a block of ice. But despite his condition, Zeus was still holding onto my arm with his trembling fingertips. Even though I was having a hard time processing the uncertain turn of events, Anna regained her calmness very quickly and rushed towards us, before instructing me to bring Zeus to his room upstairs. Both of us held him tight on both his sides, but I couldn’t help but clench my hold tighter on him, even though I was soaked with his blood. But my body and mind reacted on their own, as if just with my presence I wanted to convey to Zeus that
Ethan’s POV:After being frantically scolded by Anna, I tried to hold onto my silence to ensure I wouldn’t get on her nerves too much while she did her best to treat wounded Zeus. Though I couldn’t recognize why the uneasiness kept on growing inside me vigorously from watching Zeus in such a miserable state, her raging blue eyes served as a major warning to me that I mustn’t try to do anything that might trigger her wrath to attack or throw me out of the room instead. At the very least, I wanted to stay by Zeus’s side for now. From what I have read in the ancient literature, werewolves were the deadly mythical beasts who once ruled the world and acted on their impulses to attain their dominance, unlike humans who were treated as their slaves and only allowed to use emotions more. Thus when I fell silent, I saw Anna quietly pressing Zeus’s wounded areas with her palms mixed with concoctions, and chanted something with a murmur sound, following which an illuminant bluish flame emitt
Zeus’s POV:Disease? Seriously? Out of everything he could choose, this cute little punk had to pick the worst compliment for me? Apart from being blessed as the mythical gigantic beasts with uncanny strength, we Alpha Werewolves were also born with enormous manhood that human males could have dreamt of comparing in the first place. It was a reason of our domineering pride, but this little brat didn’t miss his strike that landed straight on my ego, even though he must’ve genuinely asked it based on pure curiosity. Even now, I could see his glistening ocean eyes were deliberately trying to avert from staring at my half-erect manhood. His earlobes were still reddened from embarrassment, as I could tell just by glancing at my lower half for the first time, which must’ve really scared him a little, considering how naive he has always been towards his surroundings. But of course, his compliment indeed irked me a bit. I knew the sight of my robust big body hadn’t turned him off after a
Zeus’s POV:Watching Ethan turn into a goofball of shyness while facing me, an impish desire stirred inside me as I tossed a sly smirk and kept marching towards him boldly shoving away that embarrassment which was bothering me until now. On the other hand, watching me approach him bare naked, in my confident demeanor, I could see him fidgeting a little anxiously, while his earlobes had completely reddened. While he held a nervous look on his round face, it didn’t halt me from teasing him further, “If you are blatantly denying that my hard-on isn’t from morning wood, doesn’t it mean you must’ve sneaked naughty glances at me when I was conked out all this time?” “W-What?” Stuttering from the flustered hue that had tainted his porcelain cheeks, Ethan immediately jumped into his defense, while bickering with me, “O-Of course not! Why would I even do that to an unconscious man? I had just only—” Suddenly, Ethan paused his murmur while retaining his nervous face, as I could see him movin
Zeus’s POV:“EEEK!? S-Since how long have you been standing there, like a ghost? B-Besides…a-are you seriously with a hard on now?” Ethan’s loud, jittery voice returned my senses as I didn’t realize how long I had been lost within myself while ogling at him from behind up to my heart’s content. Not only the shameful realization that I have been checking him out from behind all this time like a creepy pervert, when my onyx eyes met his flustered face, I was a bit taken aback at his comment, which followed up later. Me? With this hard on? Rolling my eyes in utmost disbelief when I glanced down at my lower body, I stood still for a brief moment, unable to process the sight before me. Indeed, my thick, giant manhood was semi-erect! Is it all real or am I hallucinating from severe exhaustion?No, I wasn’t wrong. My manhood was twitching hard in an embarrassing direction where Ethan stood, nervously trying to avert his gaze away from my cock. But I stood there at a distance, gulping fr
Zeus’s POV:Honestly, I struggled to suppress my chuckle from blurting out while Ethan held such a worrisome face, but it was absolutely endearing to me to observe him. I retained a calm gesture while meeting his round, ocean eyes that were fixated on me before I charged back, “I don’t know what you must have been thinking inside that round, pretty head of yours, but I do not have any immoral relationship with Anna. “To be precise, she is dear to me as my own sibling, even though we do not share the same blood. That’s why, in the past whenever I was injured a few times, Anna has always helped with taking showers and even devoted herself solely to take care of me—”“But that was before when I came in the picture!” Before I could finish, Ethan’s sulky murmur paused my words for a second as I curiously tilted my head while trying to observe him. His facial appearance looked fidgety and fiddling with his fingertips, he seemed oddly on edge while answering me, “I mean…I wasn’t doubting y
Zeus’s POV:For the very first time in my long, bleak life in this human world that felt like a never-ending darkness, Ethan’s words felt like the gush of warm rain after a long, cold winter to my heart, giving me the momentary bliss I must have sought inside me unknowingly after all this time. Having my hands soaked from the blood of countless human sinners, being forced against my will by my cruel fate to consume their blood and flesh so that I would keep going through this goddamn painful life…for the first time I felt quite emotional. I flinched a little hard to realize how I was so moved by those gentle appreciative words that Ethan spoke for me. But while staring into his tender ocean eyes, which were glistening from tears, it came along with the realization that maybe all this time, I just truly wanted someone to see me through my core, along with all those scars I had carefully suppressed within my heart until now. After going through this never-ending phase of darkness in t
Zeus’s POV:Blinking his lashes at me a few times, I saw a flustered hue tainting Ethan’s puffy cheeks, and from his facial expression, it was easy to define that he must’ve been really pleased with my answer. His ocean eyes were glimmering in bliss, and I saw him struggling to hide his jovial expression from me beneath a straight face, but undoubtedly, his efforts made me appear adorable in my eyes. Indeed, before I had realized it, I had already put my faith in a human who had witnessed my cursed dark secret with his own eyes. Honestly, it was something that I had never imagined feeling towards anyone else in this human realm. The possibility of him exposing my dark secret to others on the campus indeed crossed my mind a few times. But every time my gaze met those tender, glistening ocean eyes smiling at me, unknowingly, I kept reminding myself that if I gathered my courage to trust this person…he would never betray me. Isn’t it funny that before I knew, you had already become my
Zeus’s POV:No matter how much I tried to get an answer to those dubious questions that had bothered my peace of mind since the first day I crossed paths with Ethan, I never obtained one, leaving me perplexed as always. Since the first day I laid my eyes on this beautiful boy on that snowy Christmas Eve night, despite repeating it to myself countless times, I couldn’t stop myself from being drawn towards him. The iron walls I had spent years building around my heart had lowered around him already, which I had never vowed to do for a human who wasn’t Sophia. And for a man…it was completely out of question! But…what the hell is wrong with me? Why did I become so maddeningly protective to the extent that I almost tried to kill my own pack members, fearing they might try to inflict any harm on Ethan? I know since I had never formed a divine pact with anyone before, not even with Sophia…I wasn’t aware of the consequences when I suddenly kissed Ethan that night, forming the divine pact w
Zeus’s POV:Ethan’s nervous shaky voice left me in disarray for a brief moment. As I stayed numb, I found myself strangely conflicted about answering his plea. His rolled ocean eyes seemed a bit uneasy as if he was quite unsure about the request he made to me out of the blue. But even at that moment, I didn’t overlook the dim ray of hope glistening in those orbs towards me which implied, maybe for a brief moment, he wanted to believe he might succeed in convincing me to follow his lead. But how should I let this innocent naive human have a glimpse of the dark scars of my wretched past I have harbored all this time in my existence? I have already exposed him to the world of dangers since the moment I decided to form a pact with him, which might turn out to be one of my foolish choices. But now…if I disclose all the incorrigible sins I have committed until now, how would I bear it if he turns out to detest me even more? After all this time, I am still confused at the realization…why
Zeus’s POV:When I finished the bowl of meat dumpling soup, sensing Ethan’s pleased gaze glued on my face all this time. The second after I lifted my gaze, bearing a big satisfactory grin, all of a sudden Ethan tenderly wiped the corner of my mouth with the cuff of his shirt, startling me a little as I hadn’t expected his kind gesture right then. When he finished wiping my lips, he took the bowl away from my hands and tossed a soft grin, which reminded me of the gentle spring breeze that holds the power to soothe our hearts after a long, weary day. He broke the amicable silence between us at first, handing me a glass of water, “I hadn’t cooked for someone for a really long time, so I was worried how the soup would turn out to be…whether it would suit your palate. But if you liked it so much, I would prepare it for you often. But you don’t have to eat it like this next time…as if you were starving for days. Or…were you really that hungry after suffering from this injury?” I couldn’t
