Erika's POV I put down the meal box in front of the office door, turned around, and left the office room. I rushed back to the parking lot of the pack house and got in a random car. Since he lied to me, I wouldn't tell him where I went. Honestly, I didn't know where to go. I'm just so angry right now and I need to get my feelings out. But I knew where to go soon.
Derek’s POV I had a feeling that Erika was near me when I was having a meeting tonight. I just ignored it because I eagerly wanted to know their progress. I hired several experts on poison and asked them to find if there was any clue in Baron's house. Tonight, they reported to me their progress. I sat through a long meeting and the final conclusion was that they didn't find many useful clues in Baron's house. What they found in Baron's house confirmed that Baron didn't lie to me before he died. But Baron had destroyed almost all the clues related t
Erika’s POVMy birthday was coming. The whole pack was preparing for my birthday party.I thought that Derek might become busier as he needed to prepare for the party, but it was the opposite. He seldom worked overtime these days and spent much time with me.I asked him to accompany me to other packs, but he didn’t show much interest in it. He promised that he would take a break with me after my birthday. I didn’t insist because I guessed maybe trips were too much for him considering his health condition.
Angel's POVI froze on the spot with my mouth agape.Erika just spoke!That was...I was so happy for her that tears streamed down my face.I wanted to come over and hug her, but Derek was by her side.They held each other tightly. She was now completely different from the one who tried every possible method to escape from her mate.
Francis' POVElsa pushed open the door of my office with a bang and walked in.“I said knock before you come in,” I took a deep breath and tried hard not to lose my temper.“She’s awake,” Elsa answered without apologizing for her rudeness.“Angel is awake?” I stood on my feet.“You want to see her now? Sit down and there’s something I need to tell you.”
Angel's POVI couldn't marry a man I didn't even know. And I didn't want to know him.Derek gave me to the Westford pack as punishment, but as a warrior with free will, I could decide what to do next.I had only one choice, escape!Escaping would be easy for me because of my gift. As long as I could get out of this pack, I would be unstoppable.With this thought, I fell sound asleep.It was the next day when I woke up again. My headache was relieved and I felt much better.I walked to the door and opened it. I needed to figure out where I was.I was astonished to see a bunch of soldiers in uniform.At the sound of the door opening, they all turned around and looked at me without any expression.Damn!Why were there so many warriors? What happened last night?I gave up the plan of escaping now. I couldn’t even get to the corridor with so many warriors.I might give it a try if I had wings."I ... I take a rest and I still have a headache. I don't know what the problem is. Maybe I need
Angel’s POVIt might be childish to do so, but I wanted badly to swear and curse and reduced him to nothing.He didn’t even raise his eyebrows at my words.“Yes, I’m a jerk. Angel, don’t be so mad over a jerk. It’s a waste of time,” he said calmly as he uncuffed me.I hated the calm and confident look on his face, so I jumped up to give him a punch on his face.
Francis’ POVHer surprised look satisfied me. Yes, as long as she could stay here, she could still be a warrior, so please don’t escape from me.But it was time to leave. I didn’t know if it was just my illusion, I had a feeling that her gaze fell on my veil from time to time.No, she couldn’t possibly want to...To be safe, I would leave now.However, it was still late. As I was about to turn ar
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.
