Erika’s POVWhen I turned my head earlier and suddenly saw this painting, I thought I had been discovered.For the moment, I broke out in a cold sweat.On closer inspection, it turned out to be a portrait hanging on the wall.I breathed a sigh of relief.Curious, I stared at the painting. It was an oil painting of a beautiful
Erika’s POVI shook my head at him."What's wrong, Lucy?" The middle-aged man asked worriedly.I pointed at myself, then pointed at the painting on the wall, and shook my head."You're not Lucy?" The middle-aged man asked.I shook my head again.Immediately there was a look of blatant disappointment on his face.
Derek’s POVAt the gate of the Lumiere Pack.Half an hour passed and they hadn't sent Erika out.I ordered some of the warriors to surround the pack and be ready to fight. Then I asked Kent to contact James and tell him not to go to the Lumiere Pack if he received a message to lead warriors to support them.My warriors had surrounded the pack and were just waiting for me to order an attack.
Erika’s POV I was in Derek's arms, but I found it difficult to fall asleep. I was in a state of extreme euphoria and had a strong urge to talk. Derek was already very tired. He yawned incessantly. But I kept talking to him to keep him awake. I wanted to tell him everything that had happened tonight, from how we had been attacked in the restaurant, to how Angel and I had accidentally broken into the Lumiere Pack with her gift, and how I had pretended to be unconscious and then sneaked into their pack house later. … “Yes, it’s amazing how you sneaked into the room your mother once lived in,” Derek said while yawning. I mentioned the coincidence about like ten times. “By the way, have you done the paternal test?” Derek asked. Right, the paternal test! Of course, I’ve done it. I haven’t got there yet. It’s another interesting story. I mind-linked him as my eyes shone. “Sure. Sure. Tell me about it.” Derek yawned again. I began to tell him the story of the paternity test. You know
It took me a long time to recover from the shock. "So you always thought I didn't survive?" I wrote on the paper. "That's the information I got. I also went to the Fly Rock Pack at the time and saw the bodies of Lucy and a newborn pup. We didn't investigate further due to overwhelming grief." I lowered my head. Somehow, I felt a little sad. If they had investigated it, I wouldn't have been an orphan after my father's death. Maybe I wouldn't have been kidnapped. But it had happened. I didn't blame them. I was just sad. Derek suddenly said, “It seems that you have a good relationship with Baron. Just to be clear, he tried to poison Erika.” Hearing this, I changed my face. Derek just told me Baron was the one who poisoned me time and again. “What?” Bentley punched his fist at the desk. Alex rubbed his forehead with his hand, stood up, and walked over to the window. After a few seconds of silence, Alex said in a slightly raspy voice, "Yes. I've been thinking about it since last nig
After staying for another day at the Lumiere Pack, we left for our pack. We also invited Alex and Bentley to come to the Blood Moon Pack two days later to officially discuss the collaboration. Finally back at the Blood Moon Pack! The first thing I wanted to do was check on Angel, who was in a bad condition that day after getting drunk, poisoned, and injured. I knew that Angel had been rescued by Francis. But a few days had passed and Angel must have be
Erika’s POV We discussed the details and worked out several options. The meeting was over. Derek called in a few people to arrange accommodation and food for the rest of the Lumiere Pack members. They left the room. Derek, Alex, Bentley, and I went to lunch together. We went into a private room and sat down. I was surprised to find that Bentley and I had very similar tastes. It was probably because we shared the blood.
Erika’s POV By this time, Alex had led Baron away through the door of the room. Derek and I looked at each other and then went after him together. Of course, it was just an act. After chasing them for a while, Alex used his gift, turned around, and was gone. Derek and I stopped to check on Kent's progress. When we went to get revenge, Kent was in charge of getting the place where Baron lived under control, and then Baron had nowhere to go. The plan was that a
Francis’ POVIt was not surprising that Angel asked me to take it. She was still mad at me, and I better answer the question.“Well, it’s a … long story. She didn’t know that we were mates, but she had a feeling for me. And it just happened. We become lovers. Actually, my pack rule forbids her to know my true identity and my gift before the ceremony, but we love each other and it’s difficult to keep a secret from each other. We had many misunderstandings, but nothing beats love,” I said and looked at Angel, but she averted her gaze and didn’t want to face me.
Angel’s POVElsa turned around and walked ahead.After passing through some buildings and making some turns, we stopped in front of a tower.“Erika, this is Elsa. She’s the alpha’s sister.”It was actually two buildings connected together in a beautiful style. I looked at the buildings in awe. My goddess, I liked the style. Somehow I began to imagine what it would be like to live in
Angel’s POVErika and Derek! And two suitcases!Why were they here and why did they bring suitcases with them?I stood straight and looked at Francis in surprise.“Why are they here?” I asked with a low voice.He shrugged. “You invited them, didn’t you?”Fine, I remembered. I was afraid that Erika might notice something was wrong, so I changed to another topic quickly. At that time, I didn't know what I was talking about at all.Now I thought about it, I could’ve just told her that Francis was good and everything was good, instead, I told her a whole love story that was completely made up.What should I do now?Erika and Derek were walking toward me hand in hand. Erika waved her hands at me with a smile.I also forced a smile and waved my hand at her.At the same time, I whispered to Francis’ ears. “Francis, hold me tight.”“What?” He looked at me in shock.I shot him a glance and squeezed him on his waist.“OK, OK.” He pulled away my hand from his waist and wrapped his arm around me.
Angel’s POVI got out of the building quickly.Outside there were crowds of people working hard to make Erika happy. They were busy, but all of them seemed very happy.I walked amid them and seemed like the only one with a sad face.Fine, Derek must have prepared a big surprise for Erika. Of course, he didn’t want it to be ruined. It was not a tall order. It just…For these days, I had been suppressing my emotions. The emotional swings, the endless loneliness, and the uncertainty of the future, were too much for me to take. Just as I thought I could get some help, I was told I had to pretend everything was fine. It was like my emotion didn’t matter at all.And I was being rude and reckless again.If Francis had been here with me at this moment, he would’ve blamed me for doing what Luna shouldn’t do.Maybe I was just not suitable to be Luna.At the pack house of the Blood Moon Pack.I waited downstairs.Erika walked downstairs. She looked pretty today.We hugged and talked.Finally, she
Angel’s POVWhatever, I was a mess now. My clothes were wet and in a mess. Everything was a mess. I guessed I couldn’t think or make any decision right now. I’d better get back to the room and got a sleep.I walked up the mountain alone, and I would walk down myself in the rain. Not a big deal at all.I left the umbrella in that hut and opened the rickety door.However, at the feet of the mountain, a bunch of guards stood in front of me in a line.
Angel’s POVHis expression spoke volumes.Everything was clear.Of course, he couldn’t kill Francis in front of me, because he was Francis!I knew that Francis could change his identity, but it didn’t occur to me that Francis was only one of his identities.Now I understood why these days he kept a distance from me deliberately. He was afraid that I could recognize him.No wonder he gave me a sense of familiarity this night.Actually, he did a good job of concealing his identity before this night. I had never doubted that they were the same guy after I knew the alpha's name was Nicholas.But the instant he was out of control and his eyes turned from brown to black, somehow it conjured up Francis’ face. It was at that moment that the seed of doubt was planted.“Why am I thinking about Francis at this moment?” I thought to myself.I made efforts to get rid of that jerk's face in my mind. However, it worked the opposite way, for a second, his face overlapped with Nicholas’ face.My Godde
Francis’ POVWhat a sweet torture.The veil clung to my face closely and it felt very uncomfortable.The rain was so heavy that I couldn’t open my eyes.The most alarming thing was that the wet veil made it hard to breathe. It clung to my nose closely. I had to hold my breath in case I might get the rain into my nose.It was the longest yet most fantastic minute of my life.Since my eyes were closed, all the other sensations were magnified.I felt her hot breath on my ears. It tickled me when she spoke to my ears. The faint smell of her body, the mixed smell of rose and lily, graced my nose and turned me on completely. The thought that she was studying my face with the veil on made my heart race.Her voice sounded again.“Can I touch your face with the veil on? I promise…”Of course, she could.I grasped her hand and put it on my face before she finished her words.She
Angel’s POVI had thought of the question of why he wouldn’t reveal his face to me, and I worked out three assumptions.Yes, if he forced me to stay here and become his mate, I would try every possible way to escape.But he didn’t even reveal his face to me, which made me super curious. I was determined to at least see his face before deciding whether I should leave or not.Now, a perfect chance to verify the three assumptions presented itself to me.I would figure it out this day!I walked to him so that I could see him more clearly. This way, I could tell whether he lied.His whole body and face could not be seen in the darkness, except for his eyes.I stared at his eyes fixedly because I could only learn more about him from his eyes, but he seemed to be good at concealing his thoughts and emotions. His eyes were invariably calm and unfathomable.There seemed to be magic in his eyes. Soon, I was hypnotized
Angel’s POVAfter leaving the training ground, I walked in the street alone and aimlessly.No one followed me possibly because they knew I couldn’t run far.The walk didn’t take away my stress and low mood. I noticed a mountain ahead and began to climb the mountain.I knew my leg needed a rest, but I longed for a place where I couldn’t be found, a place isolated from the whole pack.Two hours later, I was on the top of a mountain, lying on the ground. The smell of the grass and mud tranquilized my mind, so I fell asleep soon. Whenever I was in low spirits, I would get close to nature. I believed nature had a lot to offer.Wait, a drop of water fell on the tip of my nose.What was it?Soon, more waterdrops could be felt on my eyelids and cheeks.I opened my eyes.Of course, it was raining.It was getting heavier in the blink of an eye.I jumped up and began to run.
